A/N:: This fic was inspired by the tons of rain we've received here today. The title is from a poem, I think. ;D
FanFic 100 Challenge #:: 066- Rain
Lover's Rain
Millions of tiny fingertips seemed to drum rhythmically against the castle roof and windows as water droplets poured down from the pallid sky above. Minerva, feeling the sudden drag of rain-induced lethargy, stretched in a very cat-like manner and removed the shoes from her weary feet. She sunk onto the bed and snuggled down into the cool, fluffy blankets around her. Closing her eyes, she listened as the rain hammered harder and faster until she drifted peacefully to sleep.
An arm sliding across Minerva's waist woke her from a pleasant, unintentionally disregarded dream.
"Albus," she said softly, taking her husband's hands in her own.
"I apologize for waking you," he said before kissing her lightly on the neck.
"Don't," she replied simply.
Minerva reclined into Albus's warm arms as he lovingly stroked her smooth, silky hair. The rain, which had not yet ceased to fall, had begun making its effect on Albus. His eyelids became increasingly heavy as his entire body lay comfortably and contently beside Minerva. He leaned over into her ear.
"Sweet dreams, Min. I love you," he whispered.
Minerva smiled without opening her eyes.
"Albus?"
"Hmm?"
"Don't call me 'Min'."
"Yes, dear."
THE END

How sweet! That last part made me laugh, "Don't call me 'Min'." it always sounds wrong to have anyone call her by a nickname. McGonagall always seems so stern it is a bit out of character to allow nicknames (especially ones like 'Tabby'). Great fic!! Thanks for sharing.

Those last lines were very funny--"yes dear" It is currently raining steadily where I am...it sounds lovely on the tin roof, and this was a very cozy fic to be reading right now. I think this is one of the best you've written for this fanfic challenge, and that is saying a lot!

I always love him having pet names for her, but it is funny when she doesn't like them. lol I loved this. Your description of the rain (and everything, but I especially loved the rain) was wonderful!

I love this one, particularly Minerva's response.
I was talking to another fan today, and we were speaking of Minerva and her various nicknames, and whether she would like them.
Your response summed up my thoughts perfectly. 'Don't call me Min' hits it on the head.
Very sweet; and I loved the description the rain. Very evocative.
