PEVENSIES

The Study Of Comfort [Peter + Lucy]

Peter flipped the page of his textbook, trying not to fall asleep. He needed to do well on these exams, he couldn't let himself down. He took a sip of water and sighed, staring at the words blankly. Exams were not his forte.
"You should get some sleep..." peter heard Lucy said from the other end of the room.
"You should already be in bed Lu.." peter reminded her, his eyes still fixed on his work.
"Are you stressed?" Lucy asked gently and peter sighed.
"No..." he lied.
"Peter..." Lucy said in her 'I know you're lying to me' voice.
Peter turned around in his chair.
"Fine...I'm stressed. Actually no...I'm completely panicking. I can't do this even if I should...I already missed 3 exams due to stress and now I'm going to..." peter was interrupted by Lucy running over and hugging him. He couldn't help but smile a little as he hugged her back.
"You'll be fine peter...and even if you're not, we're all here for you" Lucy reminded him and he nodded in understanding.
"For the youngest, you're actually the smartest" peter said
"Don't tell that to Susan" Lucy said giggling as she pulled away from her brother. She smiled "Susan's stressed about studies too but she can handle it" Lucy said and peter rolled his eyes.
"Obviously Susan's the perfect one" he said sighing as he slumped down in his chair.
"You're peter the magnificent for a reason..." Lucy said "maybe not in this world but...it still counts..." she said and peter smiled. He handed his sister her teddy and stood up.
"Come on, let's get you to bed" he said, knowing how tired Lucy was getting. He walked her back to her room and as he walked back, he smiled. His little sister was always there for him.
