Characters: Severus, Regulus; allusion to unrequited Severus/Lily
Rating: G / K
A/N: Written for snape100 challenge #203, "Weather". Contains slightly emo!Severus and a bit of a ripoff of an idea from Sideways Stories from Wayside School.


Severus stared sullenly out the rain-streaked window of the train.

"Have a bean, go on," said Regulus.

"Piss off." Severus listened to the rain beating an insistent and, he hoped, silencing tattoo.

"Don't make me put one in your mouth."

Regulus sounded a little too eager about that idea. "I'll have your fingers if you dare. Besides, they don't come in the flavour I'd really like to try."

"Oh? What flavour? You'd be surprised."

But Severus ignored Regulus and resumed watching the rain. And after that damned fiasco by the lake last term, now I'll never get to try it.
