narnia au;

[illuminescent]

how did you get here? through a wardrobe, or through death, or maybe a portal gone terribly astray. a ring. the roar of a lion. in the bottom of a cup. because you were looking for something, or missing something. no matter how you got there, this is where you belong.

Comments

[illuminescent]

[She hums a little, and sits on the bed, cross-legged. She doesn't know what George said - if that he said they were already married, or something along those lines, but there is only one bed.]

You will have to take extra care with my hair.

[She's teasing, so she can't be at all uncomfortable.]

Should I then help you?

[curlytop]

[He'd told them as little as possible and trusted there would be no questions.]

I will take extra care with all of you.

[He sits next to her on the bed, his arm around her waist.]

Is that a wifely duty? Helping your husband bathe?

[illuminescent]

I cannot say I know.

I have never had a husband.

[She tips her head at him.]

We can make many of our own rules.

[curlytop]

Well, then, we can help each other bathe.

[He kisses her temple.]

And tonight we can sleep all night in this bed together, with no sneaking out at dawn.

[They'd slept together on the road, but it's something different to share a bed than a patch of forest.]

[illuminescent]

[She smiles then, and it's a little radiant.]

I can wake to you, and hold you, without hurry, without worry, without fear.

[She kisses him on the mouth this time, and presses him down to the bed.]

I can take you at my leisure, George.

[curlytop]

[He loves to see her smile like that, and he lays down on the bed with a laugh, pulling her with.]

You can, my love.

[He curls a hand around the back of her head and leans up to kiss her.]

[illuminescent]

[She kisses him, and kisses him again. They're both tired, and a little sweaty, and just a bit filthy, but she doesn't care. She unties her bodice, which is simpler now, and her breasts ease a little. She reaches down to tug his shirt off, and spreads her hands over his chest and shoulders.]

And you can have me at yours.

[curlytop]

[George hums into the kiss, his hands settling at Lucy's hips and then wandering up her bodice to her breasts.]

I may never let you leave our bed, mo chridhe.

[illuminescent]

Never?

[She leans down, and kisses him again.]

I would be very bored. How would you keep me entertained?

[curlytop]

[He tugs down the front of her dress to free her breasts completely, covering one with a warm palm.]

Have I ever bored you in bed?

[illuminescent]

[She giggles a little.]

No.

You have always kept me most pleased.

[He reaches for her breast, and she hums in the sweet, warm pleasure of it. Her fingers catch and curl around his.]

[curlytop]

[He laughs, warm and easy, and leans up to kiss her again.]

And I will endeavor to continue so.

[illuminescent]

Will you promise to keep me sated, no matter how long we are married?

[She's giggling, sweetly, and kissing him.]

Perhaps we should bathe first.

[curlytop]

I will put it in our vows if you like.

[He kisses her again, and again, and once more.]

Either way, we'll need to be naked.

[illuminescent]

I like that, but I think it may be too shocking for the folk here in Telmar.

[She unties her skirt, and moves to stand, and she drops it. It's much brighter in this room than in their room, in the dark, back in Narnia; there is still sunlight out there, and the slats are good for privacy but they let through so much light.]

[curlytop]

Then I'll just promise you here.

[He pushes himself up to watch her as she undresses.]

You are so beautiful, my love.

[illuminescent]

[Her smile turns radiant.]

I am so glad you think so.

[Her blush is high in her cheeks, not embarrassed, but happy, pleased, and she leans over to press a kiss to his mouth.]

I will hold you to every promise, but forgive you any mishap.

[curlytop]

[He loves to see her looking like that, and he holds her face in both hands as they kiss.]

I will promise anything in my power.

[He pulls her to him, curling an arm around her waist to draw her back into his lap. They'll get to the bath eventually.]

[illuminescent]

[She's in his lap, her mouth on his shoulder, and then her head on his shoulder, too.]

You smell, my love.

[She probably smells too.]

[curlytop]

[He laughs and kisses her temple.]

Aye, all right. Into the tub with you, then.

[With a grin, he stands, picking her up with him and carrying her to the tub.]

[illuminescent]

[She squeals and suddenly she's in his arms, and even through that she's kicking just a little.]

With you!

[curlytop]

[He laughs and stops at the edge of the tub.]

In my clothes? If you insist...

[illuminescent]

[The water was brought up earlier, clearly, and it's still hot.]

But then what will you wear to our wedding?

[She kicks her legs just a little, but she's laughing.]

Do you not wish to be with me?

[curlytop]

[He sets her carefully on the edge of the tub, laughing, and kisses her nose.]

I do want to be with you. If you'll let me get undressed first.

[illuminescent]

[She sits, and waits, and nods just a little.]

But only because you have such a good reason.
