Why did you do it?
•••••••••
"Why did you do it?"
"Peter-"
"Why did you do it?"
The brothers stared at each other, Peter's bright blue eyes filled to the brim with tears and Edmund's deep brown eyes wide, glassed over.
"I told you to leave, you had time to leave, you had time to get to safety, and you didn't." Peter practically whispered. "You nearly died, because you decided to save me instead."
Edmund winced a little at this, somehow hearing it from Peter made his own experience just that little worse. "Because - Because I knew what she could do Pete." He whispered eventually. "I knew she'd kill you, I couldn't let her do that."
"So you decided to give up your own life?"
Edmund just nodded.
Peter stared at him for ages. "Why would you do that." He choked out. "You're so, so stupid. Why?"
Edmund was quiet for a while, thinking about his answer carefully, before he took a deep breath. "Because you mean more to me than my own life." He murmured. "You're my brother Peter, and I love you more than you will ever be able to understand. You forgave me, even after everything I did, and my actions on that battle field, were to show you how truly thankful I am, and I hope one day you'll be able to understand."
