143: It's over

May 23rd - Prompt: World war

-----------

"It's over..."

Edmund slowly looked up, frowning. "What?"

"The war... It's over." Peter murmured.

Edmunds heart skipped a beat. "Seriously?" He asked.

Peter nodded. "Seriously." He said slowly.

Edmund took a deep breath, everything finally registering.

His Dad would be coming home for good this time, he was going to come home from leave in a month or so, but now he wouldn't have to go back, not ever.

And Peter... Peter wouldn't have to go back either.

Peter had gone through hell and back whilst fighting, been missing in action for months before finding his way home, only to be sent back off when he was deemed fit to fight again, which Edmund had found sickening.

He had come back after a few more months, being allowed a few weeks at home, but now, those few weeks had turned in to forever, and Edmund couldn't keep his emotions in.

He burst into tears, running at his brother and wrapping his arms around him, burying his face agaisnt his shoulder.

Peter hugged him back, tears in his eyes as he gripped his brother, who at his age was getting quite tall, but still not tall enough to be taller than him... and he didn't let go.

For ages they clung to each other, both letting out their emotions without a care in the world, before Edmund took a deep breath. "You're - You're home." He whispered. "For good this time."

Peter swallowed hard, squeezing his eyes shut as he tightened his grip around Edmunds shoulders, if that was even possible. "Yeah." He choked, two more tears sliding slowly down his cheeks. "I'm home for good."

You all know my headcanon of Peter fighting in the war during Dawn Treader, (because of William's age- He ain't fooling no one that he's under 18 in the 3rd movie 👀😂) so don't be confused 🤪😆😂
