Remus loved walking through a snow storm at night. There was something almost magical about it. The world felt as if it was wrapped in cotton batting, so quiet that all he could hear as he walked along was the sound of his boots squeaking on the new-fallen snow. Raising his face to the sky, he opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, letting the cold flakes of snow melt in his mouth and collect on his eyelashes.
Severus glanced out the window to see his lover standing in their yard with his face tilted toward the heavens. At times, Remus seemed as much a child as his son. The fact that he could still find pleasure in the simple things in life, despite all the rough times they’d endured, was one of the things Severus found so appealing about him. He’d never admit that out loud, of course, but he smiled to himself as he turned and headed for the kitchen. No doubt Remus would want something to warm him up after his walk.
