A Study In a Scarlet Heart

Rainy Afternoon

Albert James Moriarty X Reader

***
You were seated near the glass window observing how the rain drops on them, slowly sliding down and some slide fastly as a consecutive rain drops, forcing the water to move faster the slippery surface of the glass window.

In front of you was a hot mug of coffee made by yourself since Louis tends to make something bitter that does not suite your taste. On your lap was a book, a romance-novel. You were reading that to spent some time while you wait for Albert to come home from London.

As you get the book from your lap, the double doors of the room where you are in, which was Albert's, opened. A smile formed in your lips as your fiance entered his room. His hat was on his right hand and his cane was on the other one. His suite was wet with some drops from the pouring rain.

"Hello there, Y/N." He said in his enticing voice. He walk to your place as he kissed you tenderly. You pushed him a bit when you were out of breathe. A small smile formed on his lips as he stand straight.

"How's your trip?" You asked him as he grab your hand, making you stand from your seat. Your brows furrowed but when he sat on your chair and pull you on his lap, your heart flutter from his small action. He wasn't like that all the time. You said to yourself.

"It was.. fine. I missed you," he tighten his hug to you.

"Hmm, I missed you too." You responded in a whisper you touch the cover of your hardbound book. "Is there something wrong?"

"No, there wasn't. I just, really wanted to relax from all the works that I am doing. And being with you really helps me so.. Are you fine with spending this rainy afternoon with me?"

You chuckled a bit but responded with a nod as you rest your body on his.

Just some lazy rainy afternoon, I  guess.
