Hiding tears
••••••••
Peter frowned a little when he stepped into the room, only just catching Edmund wiping quickly at his eyes before turning to him.
The two stared at each other for ages, Edmund trying to act like nothing was wrong and Peter not falling for it at all.
"You okay?" Peter asked.
Edmund nodded. "Yeah." He breathed. "Why?"
Peter shrugged. "You just look a little... Off?" He said.
"Well thanks." Edmund replied sarcastically, smiling.
Peter raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you're okay?" He questioned again.
Edmund frowned. "Yeah." He repeated, before realisation dawned on him. "Oh! No, Peter I'd bitten my tongue eating, my eyes were watering. Seriously you worry so much."
Peter glanced over at Edmunds desk, indeed finding a plate of food there, and allowed himself to relax. "Okay that makes sense." He breathed.
Edmund chuckled to himself. "You just startled me walking in like that that's all." He told him. "Seriously Peter why would I be crying? Or better yet why would I be hiding tears from you of all people."
Peter smiled a little. "That would be a question I'd like answered if it ever comes up again." He teased.
Edmund rolled his eyes. "Did you want something?"
