Between Two Hearts || Edmund Pevensie x reader x Peter

Chapter 5: Is it a date??

I layed on my bed and stared at the ceiling for a while.

So..I have a crush on..Edmund..

Well..He isn't a bad guy.. And I certainly can't deny and hide from my feelings anymore. Even if he doesn't like me, I should still..give it a chance.. Plus, he is a good friend!

But then negative thoughts struck me down.

"I just became friends with him..what if this ruins everything.."

I was a little shaken.. I never liked a guy before..but..I wasn't scared anymore.. Edmund has been nice so far.. Why should I be..?

I swallowed all the negative thoughts down and pushed myself to get out of my bed to go find him.

I put on my footwear and adjusted my dress and my hair before leaving the room, trying to be confident.. It's scary.. But it will be alright! Right..?

I walked down the castle hall to Edmund's room and walked in while knocking on the open door, hoping with every cell inside me that I wasn't awkward or weird-looking.

He looked up from the letter he was reading in his hand while on his bed –he's professional, clearly– and.. I don't know if I'm crazy and just imagined it but.. I think his eyes lit up..?

He painted a gentle smile on his face, "Hey," He told me, before putting the vintage-looking letter to the side and sat at the end of his bed.

"Need company..?" I asked him, hoping I wasn't annoying him at all.

"Yeah," He responded "I'd like that."

I walked towards him and sat next to him on the bed, still feeling..Awkward.. But the weird feelings in my chest and stomach didn't worry me or confuse me anymore. Rather made me feel...Nice..?

I glanced around the room when I noticed a sword neatly tucked in the corner.

"You use swords, Ed?" I asked him, watching him take the crown off his head and adjust and neaten up his hair, not noticing I just gave him a nickname.

"Hm?" He hummed before putting the crown back on his head, "Oh that. Yeah I do." He told me, his chocolate brown eyes meeting mine, sending butterflies in my stomach, or whatever you wanna call it.

"That's cool!" I complemented. "I always wanted to learn how to use swords, I'm just really, really clumsy," I joked, stealing a chuckle from him.

"I can always teach you, if you want" He offered, seeming.. Excited..? To hang out with me more.

"I'd like that.. But I don't have a sword.." I told him

"You can always have Peters, he won't say no." Edmund said, "Hey, between you and me, he isn't the best at using his anyway" He told me as I chuckled at his joke

"Well.." I began "I guess I will take you up on that offer then, but you have to ask him for his sword for me. I'm scared."

He laughed, "I will," Edmund said, "Don't worry about it." And I laughed too.

That's when I realized..How close our faces were to each other.. It made heat rise to my face, I felt my face become flustered...And..I guess he noticed too?

"Um.." I looked down flustered as my heart began to skip beats "I'm gonna.. Go and get some sleep, it's getting late and I don't wanna fall asleep in the middle of using a sword, you know?" I joked as he chuckled

"Goodnight, Y/N" He told me, his voice gentle as I slowly got up and walked out of his room..

I layed in bed, my heart still beating fast.

I..talked to him.. I get to hang out with him..

I was just so excited I couldn't sleep. I squealed into the blanket out of excitement. I never even talked to a guy before.. And now..

I bunched the blanket up to my face and squealed into it once again. I know this is cringe, but I had so much excitement I needed to get it out.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Is it a date??

A/N: Chat, sorry that this is really short I just wanted y/n learning sword fighting from Edmund to be in Ed's POV and I didn't feel like putting that in the same chapter but i'll try and make the next chapter good. :)
