Chapter 3

Happy Tears

"Invited by the High King himself to accompany him to visit Aslan's how with the King of Just too. I'm quite honored."

"Quit it." Edmund said as he rode his horse nearby with Caspian. The prince smiled as he came by and rubbed his king's head.

"Embarrassed?" Caspian replied as Edmund stopped him.

"No, your making a fool of yourself that what's worries me." Edmund explained.

"You never stopped me before so why stop me now?" Caspian questioned, Peter then butted in between them with his white horse.

"Because, child. You're a prince in training to become a mature king." Peter mocked as he moved ahead from them.

"You're just jealous because I'm young." Caspian taunted him as Edmund snickered. Peter sneered back at the prince.

He shouted back. "At least I look cuter!"

Edmund coughed, choking on his laugh, Caspian gave him a scowl. "He totally got you there." Edmund said.

"Ha, ha, right." Sounding sarcastic, "So you think Peter is cuter then me?" Caspian begin to say.

"What he's my brother!" Edmund recalled. "And what do you mean by that?" Edmund's eyes shifted that made Caspian smile, hoping to avoid the question, and yet the young king to begin to blush.

"To tell you the truth, we're cute but you're the cutest." Caspian gripped his friend's cheek to tease him. He let go quickly and rode away from Edmund.

"Hey that hurts!" Edmund cried as he followed the two royalists' trail.

That night under a clear view of the lunar moon, Edmund relaxed on his back, resting his head with his arms stretch out behind him. Caspian came by and join him where the campfire below their feet, burned rapidly.

"Do you think Queen Susan is alright?" Caspian called out as Edmund looked at him queasy.

"You love her don't you?" Edmund suddenly replied looking at him, eye to eye.

Caspian moved his head upwards to the sky. "No, Edmund…" He fidgeted.

Edmund eyes widened and begin to chuckle. "Oh did my ears deceive me? Did you just call me by my name?" Edmund smirked evilly as Caspian realized what he done.

"What…no…but…ah…" Caspian tried to explain but couldn't cover up his mistake, Edmund wasn't impressed.

"So much for respecting your king," Edmund shoot out a conversation. Caspian smiled then begin to laugh as Edmund joined along with him.

After awhile, Prince Caspian just sighed. "I like her but I don't love her." Caspian explained his feelings, he looked at Edmund. "You know it is quite an honor to be invited by King Peter."

Edmund punched him on the shoulder, annoyed of his respond. "Oh shut up." He said lowly and firmly. "You know he'll be back any minute now." Edmund remind him, Caspian chuckled.

"You're embarrassed that I like you." Caspian pointed out that made the king all red.

"I do not!" Edmund exclaimed as he sat up.

"You do too." Caspian following his lead as the fire continued to crackle to their silent moment.

The king bit his bottom lip until he changed the subject. "Do you really think Jadis is dead?" Sounding so serious and maturely in all of a sudden.

Caspian shuffled closer. "If she's not dead, I promise you Edmund, that I'll protect you." The prince committed.

"But what if she attacks someone else that I care like Susan… what if she went after you and…" Edmund then cut himself off, he spoke too much.

"After me…?" Caspian beginning to tease, Edmund muted himself while he slightly blushed. He ignored Caspian's pleased expression.

The fire glittered on his skin and face, making the boy much blissful and beautiful at the same time and to redeem a moment for Caspian to remember that he moved closer and…

"Caspian," His eyes flickered.

"Yes Edmund?"

Edmund gave himself a moment to collect his inner thoughts and finally said "I like you…a lot...and I was wondering…that we…" Caspian was contented to hear his embarrassing unfinished sentence that as he moved his lips closer, this time Edmund accepted his kiss. A small single firm kiss last about five seconds and oh in Aslan's name, was Caspian grateful.

"You wouldn't be disappointed." Caspian said as he kissed the back of Edmund's hand, respecting his choice. "I admire you, my king Edmund." Edmund smiled and moved his lips to his, kissing him back.

Caspian expected too much from it as he begin to force himself into Edmund. Overwhelmed, Caspian completely seduced him, slightly pushing him to his back; Caspian was over top of him, fiercely crashing down his lips to Edmund which it seemed that the king enjoyed so much. Caspian slowly moved on un-belting his lover's belt and continued under Edmund's blue chemise. Edmund stopped him and begin to flutter kisses onto the prince's neck. Committed to pleasure it was Caspian's turn. Forcibly in his lips, Edmund gasped. "Caspian…Peter might be back any minute…"

Caspian kissed his right eyelid and smiled. "It won't stop us, I promise you."

"You idiot…" Edmund announced as Caspian taken over the side of his neck.

Beyond their vision in the dark, Peter shuddered as he hid behind a tree, unbelieving what he just saw. His brother was 'making out' with a man that Peter trusted to well to realized, that Caspian was capturing the heart of one of his siblings, what's worst was that it was Edmund, his brother. He stomped away quietly, unwilling to involve himself with the situation just yet.

"Edmund….your so cold…" Caspian admitted as he touched his lover's chest to the stomach. Edmund's chemise was removed and so was Caspian's. The king sighed as he sat up and gave him a kiss on the tip of Caspian's nose.

"Then what are you going to do about it?" Caspian grabbed his hand.

"It depends on you, my gorgeous king." He licked inside of his hand that made Edmund twitch. Then later he pulled Edmund closer. Feeling lustfully over his body, Edmund suddenly wrapped Caspian's warm torso preventing Caspian to make his move. "Edmund…?" He called as he looked down to his lover who was leading his head against him under his chin.

"This…all this…is my first time…you know." Edmund whimpered. Caspian in return pulled his arms around him and smiled.

"Take your time, your highness; I am in no rush…" Caspian replied as he shut his eyes still pleased to able to hold Edmund.

After awhile, Edmund felt warmth against the coldness from the nature air with the fire wildly about Edmund rose up and kissed Caspian's cheek. "I think I'm ready…" He said. Caspian on cue opened his lids revealing his hazy brown eyes.

"You sure…?" He questioned his highness.

Edmund nodded. "Yes." He replied as Caspian gently laid Edmund down onto a thin spread blanket.

Removing his remaining garments and his, he stared into Edmund's eyes once more finding that sliver lining. Spreading his legs, Edmund waited as he stared into Caspian's soul that was in his eyes. Caspian lead down and whispered to his ear. "Please bear with the pain, your highness…" Edmund slightly twitched as Caspian sat up, lifting Edmund's legs; he laid them beside him, in between his legs, Edmund blushed deeply as Caspian stared at it. "Just do it!" He cried and as finally together, Edmund cried.

"Edmund…?" Caspian called, the eyes of the king slowly revealed itself to the prince's face. Seeing his concerned face, Edmund felt relief as he reached up to kiss him. "Did it hurt?" Caspian questioned as he wiped the tears off the king's face.

The king slowly spread a smile to Caspian. "I don't know." He said as he lean his forehead against the prince's.

That moment it explained it all of why Caspian even bother the King of Just. He had loved him. He was the one that was always there, he was one that continued to look for him whenever he knew his king was sad or even upset. He had wiped his tears, controlled his anger, he had been…

"Edmund…" He called as he caressed the king's back. Realizing he was too relaxed, Edmund looked up to his prince.

"Yes...?" Caspian quickly grabbed his arm, pulled him in then stolen a kiss from him. As Edmund moved back with red blushes on his face, he cried. "Hey…!"

The prince grinned. "Please don't hate me because I'm cute." He said as the king gave him a nervous smile.

"I don't know…if you continued to be like that, I might have too." Edmund firmly recalled as Caspian begin to whimper a bit. "Oh stop that! You baby! I was just kidding, you know!" Edmund replied until suddenly the prince pushed Edmund to the ground. Edmund in return begin to squawk. "That hurts you know!" He replied upon the ground with his forearms supporting his weight. Caspian came down, placing his hands beside Edmund's face on the ground.

Facing his highness, Caspian lightly blushed as he whispered. "I'm glad that I blew that horn." Edmund blushed deeply that his cheeks turned cherry colored even in his heart begun to pump faster then before.

"You're an idiot…" Edmund recalled as he slowly smiled as he pulled his arms around him. "At least you're my idiot." He finally whispered.

That night was never forgotten when he woke up that morning…

"Pete…Peter…?" Edmund rose up under the blanket there upon his view was his brother, standing there, glancing at him with a face that looked upsetting. Peter came by grabbing Edmund's arm and gave him a strong pull upon his feet. Edmund appeared in his blue chemise and pants as his arm became very sore that Peter had gripped it very tightly. "Peter, you're hurting me." Edmund protested as Peter continued to drag him. "Peter, stop it! Let me go!"

After a couple steps into the forest, Edmund pulled himself free from his forcefully brother. Peter looked at him and yelled. "Edmund, Caspian is a man!" Within a few seconds, Edmund realized what Peter meant as he seemed spooked. "We are men, not women. Dammit Edmund! Once we go back to England, I don't want you returning to Narnia for Caspian because it is forbidden to be in love with the same gender!" Peter said, believing himself that his brother had committed a crime. Edmund was completely distressed that he wanted so bad to hit Peter on the face. "From now on, you are not allowed to socialize with Caspian, and the distance is limited between you two!" The young Western king couldn't control it anymore; he came up to Peter and punched him hard against his older brother's left cheek. As the High King landed onto the ground, Edmund stood before him.

"I never wanted to go back to England anyway!" Edmund finally said and started walking.

Peter grit his teeth as a bruise begins to foam upon his cheek. Getting up, he saw a glimpse of Edmund running off to a direction where they camped. The High King sighed, even with all the power he has over his people, he had nothing against his little brother. He looked away, a bit ashamed that he had yelled at Edmund. The last time, he did that, Edmund on his own follow the guidance of the White Witch but now he was not to sure what would happen next.

"It's a pity that you have no control over him." Peter flinched; he turned around to spot a dark orange and white fur coat of a fox, grinning at him as it appearance before him.

"What do you want?" Peter asked strictly.

The fox smiled as he moved closer to the king's view. "Nothing in particular, I was minding my own business until I accidentally heard about your little argument with…" The fox looked around to the direction where Edmund left. "Whoever that was…"

Peter sighed, relaxing his mind. "My brother," He said.

"Oh, and I assume that you're the older one?" The fox asked cunning, Peter groaned. He went off sitting onto a boulder where the fox jumped up to the boulder and sat beside him. "What's the matter, you don't want to talk about it?" The fox asked as Peter looked at him.

"I'm sorry; I don't really talk to strangers." Peter claimed as the fox nodded.

"Ah, that right. I am a fox and nobody trusts a fox because we are considered tricksters. But that just a saying…" The fox then looked at Peter. "Am I right?" The fox soothing said.

As Peter stared at the animal's soft yellowish eyes, he grew attach of the fox's company. "Very." He said confirming his answer to the fox's question.

"Indeed, well I must go…I am on a quest to search for my pups." Peter looked stunned.

"You're a female?" He questioned suddenly, the fox looked at him amused.

"Of course but then again, humans don't really care about animal gender so why would they get mad on their species' gender anyway?" The fox said that startled Peter's mind. "And your brother, well…I must say for punching you, he must have loved this Caspian guy very much." Peter then seemed confused.

"Why do you say that?"

"You offended his love into a limit that he cannot pass. So therefore, he had fought his way to become limitless." The fox looked away again, this time staring at the cloudy sky. "If I was limitless and stronger as he is, I would have found my pups already. But I am not…so therefore…I must try harder…" Peter begins to feel pity to the fox as he lightly petted her soft long back.

"I am sorry about your pups but maybe I can be some assistance? To help you found them?" Peter asked as the fox looked astonished.

"You would?" She asked to make sure. Peter nodded that made the fox smile. "I thank you…boy." She confirmed his species.

"Edmund…" Caspian called as he walked up behind him, "Are you alright?" Edmund had been crying for awhile nearby a spring, he was splashing water to his face, wiping off his emotions but of course that was nearly impossible. Edmund still continued to cry, his hands fully covering his face and tears. The prince grew uneasy as he came down and sat beside him as placed an arm around him. Feeling the arm gestured of Caspian's, Edmund pushed him away.

"Stop it!" The king shot out. He got up with a face of mixture of anger and despair. "Just leave me alone…" He replied, eyes beginning to tear. He watched Caspian sighed deeply and looked away. He stared into the water which it was waving in by the wind.

"I'm sorry…If I did some harm to your life, your highness." Caspian stood up still not looking at Edmund at all. "It's just that…you always looked so sad…" Edmund flinched; he gritted his teeth and created a fist. "Even the first time, we met. You looked unhappy." Caspian begun to say as he turned around un-expecting a fist meet his face.

"Shut up! Shut up! I don't want you to pity me! It's just how I am!" Caspian on the ground, heard with his ears bursting of vibration. He looked up with his left cheek sore. "It's just…just…how…" The prince watched him, glazing into his hazy brown eyes, Edmund looked away with shame. "I am…" He shuddered, finishing his opinion. Caspian then smiled, he stood up and gently laid his hand on Edmund's shoulder. The king spooked, and immediately looked back to him.

"No it isn't my king…" Caspian then took his king's hand. "I have seen you when you were happy." He said as he slightly gave a peck on the back of Edmund's hand. "It so unlikely for me to fall in love with boys but for you, I might have to consider." The Telmarine said as he placed his hands onto the king's face. Wiping his tears, Caspian said this. "Please don't cry, your highness…I rather see your rare smiles then your tears any day."

"What if…it was happy tears?" Edmund recalled as he looked up to the taller man. Caspian smiled.

"Then I might as well accept those too." The Prince said and kissed the king's forehead.

Author Note: Peter plays a large role on this, believe me. :3
