Edmund's POV
Even though the castle is open and welcoming and friendly during the day, the halls are too large for me to feel comfortable at night. I'm thinking this as I head to the library, glancing around at all the possible places for someone to hide. I suppose the threat of war has made me skittish.

Finally, having made it down the hall without being maimed, I duck into the library, glancing over my shoulder. Once I turn back to look at the shelves, I see someone dive behind one of them.

"Who's there?" I ask in my most kingly voice, swallowing my fear and grabbing the hilt of my sword. A face peers out from behind the shelf, and I immediately relax. "Oh. Come on you, y/n." Maybe I was too quick to draw my sword.

"My apologies, King Edmund," she says, bowing her head as she stands to her full height. "I came in here to look for a book on-"

I hold up a hand to stop her. "It doesn't matter. You may continue." I shake my head to clear my mind and turn back to the shelves.

But the girl is persistent. "King Edmund," she says, placing her hand on my shoulder and whispering in my ear. Her breath send tingles down my spine. "Don't you ever get bored just...reading all the time?"

"What do you mean?" I ask, turning to face her. She offers me a smile and reaches up to touch my hair.

"I mean...it hardly seems like you have time for me anymore." She pouts and bats her eyelashes at me.

"Listen, y/n, you're my girlfriend and I love you," I say. "But I do have a job to do here. What with war and everything coming soon...I can't afford any distractions."

"But, Edmund..."

"Okay, fine. I'll stay with you tonight." I offer her a smile as one breaks out across her face.

"Thank you," she says sincerely, kissing my cheek and taking my hand.

In her bedroom, she falls onto the bed and sinks down in the pillows, gesturing for me to join her. I lay down beside her, stroking her h/c hair and closing my eyes. That's when she kisses me, wrapping her arms around my shoulders and holding me tight. It's not long before she begins to unbutton my shirt, running her hands up and down my chest.

I roll over to face her, pulling her close. I can feel her heart beating against mine, the steady thrums combining into one continuous melody. "I love you," I breathe, and she mumbles it back.

We stay like that all night, kissing and sleeping, until the door bangs open.

Y/n rushes to pull her shirt back on, and I pull a pillow towards my chest. "What is it?" I demand, angry to have been interrupted.

"Edmund, where have you been?" Susan asks, arms crossed. She takes in the sight of the two of us and shakes her head. "You have responsibilities around here, you know," she chastises me. "Your girlfriend will have to wait.

"But-"

"I'm sorry, y/n," Susan says, looking at her apologetically, "but Edmund has things to do." I shoot her a glare and she grabs my arm, tossing me my shirt. "Come on, Ed."

I mouth sorry at y/n as Susan drags me out the door.

I love you, she mouths back, smiling.
