Remus/Sirius Fanfic 100 - Prompt: Rain
Title: Numb
Author: Me!
Rating: G
Warnings: implied slashiness
Summary: It's raining.
Notes: a quick drabble written in response to Prompt 66, "Rain."
Remus sat, gazing numbly out of the window. Rain splattered against the glass, falling at a sharp angle. In the distance, he could see the fluttering of maroon and gold training robes darting around the Quidditch pitch. Remus sighed. Ordinarily, he would out there in the elements: James and Sirius would be engaged in Quidditch practice while he and Peter watched. Today, though…today he wasn’t there. He couldn’t be there. He couldn’t allow his eyes to intently – inexplicably - follow the form of a flying Sirius, his robes plastered to his broad shoulders by the beating rain, his cheeks flushed from the physicality of his efforts, his chest heaving. And so, Remus sat, watching. Gazing. Numb. He leaned forward, his forehead pressing against the glass. A prickly heat assuaged Remus’ eyes. Large, warm droplets of sorrow rolled over his cheeks. Outside, the bitter rain continued to fall.
