Author's Note: So I originally started out with this angsty description of Caspian in battle but it somehow transformed into this. This is my first time writing a Narnia fanfic so I hope I kept the characters in characters. Also, I have no beta (though I would absolutely love one hint hint) so please excuse all the mistakes.

"This is completely and utterly insane" seemed to be the only words Susan could form at the moment as she watched her oldest brother Peter and soon-to-be husband Caspian (well if he actually managed to beat Peter this time) prepare for the battle ahead.

It had started out as such a nice morning too. The type of morning where the sun shone a little brighter, the birds sung just a bit happier, and everything seemed to be at peace in the once war-torn country of Narnia. Well… that is until Peter, having returned from his week long stay at Aslan's How, was informed of King Caspian's proposal to Susan. Which coincidently enough had been intended for Caspian to announce his choice for his future wife.

"No, this is war" Peter replied as he looked up at Susan through his shaggy bags. He straightened up from his leg stretch and immediately went to working on his arms.

Susan sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose as if to help alleviate the building stress. "No, what we just finished fighting last week was war. This," she motioned at him and then to the other side of the training field where Lucy was helping Caspian put on his armor , "is just an overabundance of male hormones!"

Peter rolled his eyes, "I don't know why you're making such a big deal of this. He's got to prove he's worthy of you and what better way for a King to prove himself than through a sword fight? It's not like I'm going to kill him or anything." He smiled and took his armor from Edmund's outstretched arms, the afternoon sunlight glinting off the familiar Lion posed mid-roar on the front.

Susan threw up her hands and let out a loud groan before turning and making her way back over to Caspian's side, the green satin of her dress swishing behind her and a determined spark in her eyes.

Caspian looked up from where he was working on the top buckle of his chest plate and watched as Susan approached. "Hello Sus-mmph!" was all he managed to get out before Susan entangled her in hand in his hair and smashed his lips against hers.

His eyes widened and Caspian froze in shock. This kiss was rougher and more passionate than he was used to having with her. Even the kiss they had shared when they thought they were never going to see each other wasn't this desperate or demanding. After a more seconds of shock, his eyelids begin to droop and he began to respond, one arm coming to rest on her hip and the other rising to angle her head.

The sounds of light giggles from Lucy and a growl of frustration from her brother's direction broke through the haze and Susan pulled away, a light blush covering her cheeks, "If you ever want that to happen again, you had better win."

Caspian gulped and nodded mutely, unable to form words after Susan's display of affection, before looking over her shoulder to meet Peter's angry glare. Edmund's laughter at his brother's reaction echoed across the field as he handed Peter his sword and Caspian turned his attention back to the girl - no, woman - in his arms.

Susan pulled away from Caspian and then turned to face Peter, a triumphant grin spread across her usually calm features. She sent one more smile Caspian's way before grabbing Lucy's hand and marching back over to Edmund, Peter's glare and Caspian's eyes following her the entire time.

Not five minutes after Edmund gave the okay to start the fight was Peter laying on the grass, a very happy Susan standing over him, "Sorry Peter but all's fair in love and war."
