The Snake's Reflection | Tom Riddle X Reader

~.+Dancing in the Rain+.~

Tom wouldn't have wanted her to do it. He would probably be concerned just in case she would catch a cold.

(Y/N) had decided what to do. She took off her slippers and headed outside in her hoodie. She then burst open the door and headed outside. Tom had gone out for a walk, and he had taken his umbrella with him.

But (Y/N) didn't take hers with her. She didn't need it. She put on her shoes and literally ran outside, and smiled as the rain trickled down her skin.

It was such a great feeling.

Relaxing...and peaceful. She stood outside in the little garden, and stayed still as the rain massaged her body. It felt like as if all the stress that was wearing her out was getting washed away in one big river of relaxation.

Her life was...quite perfect. She had comfort by her side, had loyal friends, and had the love of her life.

"Riddle. Please. Tell me."

"..."

"Tom. We need to know. What happened that day?"

"With respect, I do not wish to speak of that day."

"I understand how you feel right now, Tom. But that was not a question."

"..."

"Tom. Please."

"She...betrayed me."

~.+*+.~

(Y/N) yawned as the rain drenched her clothes and hair, but she didn't want to go inside. She felt so relaxed and happy; her life was so exciting and so...perfect.

She held out her hand to feel the raindrops, but then realised the rain stopped dropping onto her. As she looked up, she saw an umbrella above her. And the person who was holding it was someone no other than Tom.

"What are you doing here?" he asked her, concern showing in his charming and velvet voice.

(Y/N) shrugged, but smiled happily. " I don't know exactly, but it feels nice to be under the rainclouds like this."
Tom frowned.
"You might get a cold. Come, and let us go inside and get dry."

(Y/N) held the umbrella, making Tom let go of it. She suddenly threw the umbrella onto the ground, making Tom flinch.
"Why did yo-"

Tom was cut off as (Y/N) kissed him gently. He looked at her in confusion as she pulled away with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Dance with me." she purred, putting a hand on his shoulder. Tom blinked. "Excuse me..? In the rain? Will you be alright?"
(Y/N) smirked. "Only one way to find out. Do it before we get too soaked."

Tom nodded and bowed. He then held out his hand and smiled warmly.
"May I?"

(Y/N) giggled and took his hand. He put a hand on her waist, and took her hand with his other hand.
Together, they danced just like they had done at the Yule Ball a few weeks ago.

As (Y/N) laughed cheekily, Tom chucked softly, seemingly amused and happy. The two of them didn't seem to mind getting drenched as they danced in harmony in the rain.

"Are you satisfied, love?" Tom asked softly, gazing deeply into her eyes with warmness in his own dark brown ones. (Y/N) hummed, closing her eyes.

Tom then pulled away and picked up the umbrella from the floor and held it above her.
"Let us go back to your house. We need to get dry."
