Rose-Red

Peter/Edmund, rated PG, flangst.

Warning: slash, incest, language.

The blood pools around the wound, stains bright roses on his skin. His face pales, eyes closing gently, body weakening.

When Lucy administers her cordial - blood-red - his body goes in reverse. The blood ceases staining his skin, leaving it pure and fair; his face draws more life, lips blossoming rose-red and eyes opening, sparking like wildfire.

Peter always loved roses, and he cannot help but kiss Edmund's rosy mouth when he is born again. "Fuck, Edmund, just do as you're told," he chokes out, kissing him again.

Edmund thinks that maybe he will, if this is the reward.
