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.

What does that mean?

I think if I do not know, you can say it in public as well.

[But she thinks that he will still call her majesty and my queen.]

[curlytop]

It means, 'my heart.'

[Even if no one knows what it means, he's too cautious for that. He kisses her softly.]

We should clean you up.

[illuminescent]

Yes.

[She says it, but she gets up carefully, not really wanting to move apart from him. She wants more of his touch.

She stands and she’s not ashamed to have him see her nude. He touched her, kissed her intimately.]

And you, as well.

[He pushes himself up to watch her, allowing himself a moment of not being her guard, of looking on her as a woman instead of a queen. After a moment, he swings his legs over the edge of the bed.]

I wish I could come to you tonight.

[illuminescent]

[She goes to her pitcher and pours some water out into a bowl, wets a towel, and comes back to him, cleaning him off.]

I know.

[She says it tenderly.]

I would that as well. We will be heading back to Narnia in no time, you will see.

[It feels so strange to be taken care of like that, and George leans into the touch, his hands resting gently on Lucy's hips. He watches Lucy's face and smiles faintly.]

I can wait. For you, I can always wait.
