Little Bat, Big Dreams
Tumblr media
A/N- *tv static noise and announcer voice* we now interrupt your regularly scheduled smut for an adorable Nyx piece to satisfy Readychilledwine's pregnant brain. I present to you all a Kaylee (the previously introduced archeron oc) and toddler Nyx piece. Hopefully, you all enjoy this little family dinner piece as much as my brain enjoyed writing it, and hopefully, it helps ease any ill feelings on if Kaylee is okay at the end of Bound by Fate. 💜 Happy 5th day of "Here's to 100"
Summary - Of the four Archeron sisters, Kaylee had always had the easiest time with children due to her work in the healing house. Now, those skills are being tested by her own nephew as he takes on his worst known enemy, vegetables.
Warnings - food aversion, food allergy reactions are briefly mentioned but not described (no use of the phrase "water bowels" here, sorry Sarah.)
Feyre and Kaylee shared a look as Nyx pouted about the vegetables his family was trying to force him to eat. This was the third attempt today in making the little heir eat a well-rounded meal. This time, they had tried drowning the vegetables in cheese and withholding any other food until he ate those first.
Kaylee sighed, finally breaking the tense silence at the table, "So, you don't like veggies ooooorrr?"
Rhysand chuckled as Nyx looked up at his favorite aunt. His little blue eyes were soft with admiration for her despite Azriel's joking, yet not, warnings that she was spoken for. Her perfectly arched brow was raised at her nephew. "They're gross," he answered softly. "I hate them."
"Hate is a strong word," Nesta said from next to the boy. "It requires previous emotions like love." She wiggled her shoulder at Nyx, causing him to start dramatically gagging at the idea of romance and adult feelings.
"Auntie Kay-Kay isn't eating vegetables. If she doesn't have to. I don't neither." All heads at the table turned to her as she and Feyre made eye contact.
Before becoming fae, Kaylee had always had issues eating dairy products. Cheese, ice creams, chocolates, and milk had all tended to make her very sick. She had not bothered trying to eat them after being made. Not worth the risk, she had told Rhysand quietly one night as she explained what happened to her.
She held her plate silently to her mate, and Azriel tugged the bond gently. Are you sure? Rhysand came into her mind softly. I really appreciate you doing this, but you do not have to.
The youngest Archeron continued her stare off as Azriel put a small serving of the vegetables on her plate. I'm sure. Just buy me something pretty if this makes me sick in return. Rhysand chuckled softly as the toddler and his aunt both leaned forward, maintaining eye contact.
"Oh shit, it's getting serious," Cassian leaned back in his chair, tapping Lucien's shoulder to get the other male's attention. The Autumn male and Elain instantly looked over, laughing at the two youngest beings at the table.
"If I eat all of these, you have to eat all of yours. Once you eat all of yours, Uncle Az will take you flying today and go to the bakery we all love with you. If you don't finish them, though, he's taking me instead. Deal?"
They all watched as Nyx weighed his options. The gross vegetables covered in his favorite cheese, or not getting to fly with Uncle Az and losing out on the oh so famous triple chocolate fudge brownies the bakery had, "Deal." Kaylee and Nyx maintained eye contact as they picked up the first bite. A silent game took place between the little bat and the auntie.
Nyx put the cheesy greens in his mouth at the same time as her, eyes going wide as he chewed. He broke the game, looking down at his plate in wonder before picking up a bigger bite and eating it. And then another and another. Kaylee shook her head, looking at Feyre and Rhysand, Works every time. She kept her end of the deal, eating her serving of veggies as Rhys and Azriel watched with concern.
Nyx finished his first, smiling at his empty plate. "Not bad, huh?" She smiled at him as he held his hand out for her fork. "Evidently not." She handed Nyx her fork, allowing him the last bite of cheese and broccoli, and watched him with a soft smile. "Was it as gross as you thought, little bat?"
The Illyrians chuckled at the nickname as Nyx shook his head. "They were yummy." Kaylee nodded. "Why weren't you going to eat them if you knew they were yummy?"
"You remember how mommy and your aunties were made and not born fae, right?" Nyx nodded at her. "When I was human, milk made me really sick, and I haven't tried to eat it since."
Nyx looked up at her, his eyes wide as his lower lip began to tremble. "So, you'll get sick because of me?"
Kaylee chuckled softly. "No, buddy, if I get sick, I'm going to get sick because of the cheese. Not because of you. You needed encouragement because you were scared, right?"
Nyx nodded. "They're just gross looking. Like little mutant trees."
"But now you like them? So we never have to do that again?" The Little bat nodded at his smiling aunt. "Then, if i feel icky later, me having an unhappy tummy for a few hours is worth every second since you'll eat your vegetables now and grow big and strong."
"Like Uncle Cassie?!"
Kaylee nodded as Azriel's hand found hers under the table. "Exactly like Uncle Cassie."
Nyx held his plate out to Azriel who took it with a smile, adding another serving of veggies to his plate and setting it back down in front of him. "I'm going to beat up Uncle Cassian some day," Nyx began to eat his second serving of vegetables with determination, his eyes glancing towards Cassian with a slight glare every so often.
Wonderful. Any ideas on how to get him to eat meat other than chicken strips? Rhysand smiled.
I have a few. Kaylee leaned her head on Azriel's shoulder. The two mates were silently communicating. Kaylee's bright blue eyes flickered towards Cassian, cutting his steak and then back to Nyx. She rose both of her brows at Azriel quickly, and the male discretely nodded. Rhysand smiled lightly, shaking his head. The two of them had quickly developed their own language, and it was something the High Lord both envied and adored for his brother.
They all were now watching as Nyx and Cassian had a stare off. Cassian continued to eat his steak with a small smirk. He knew his nephew was still sad over the small battle the two of them had just hours ago. "You know Nyx," Azriel started slowly. "Part of why Uncle Cass is so big is due to him eating a variety of food. Different foods help our bodies with different things. That steak he's eating helps his muscles stay big and strong. Maybe we should try that sometime too, huh?"
Nyx glared at Cassian. The goal of beating him in a fight someday was the only thing driving him after losing in their wooden sword fight, and Azriel knew that. Cassian rose his brows in challenge, staring at Nyx as he took another bite of his steak. Nyx glared harder before turning to his father, "Cut me a steak, daddy."

♡ — sightseeing
Tumblr media
‣ you convince sakusa kiyoomi to visit a grocery store together ...
‣ gn!reader, fluff
‣ 806 words
‣ this is an entry for milo @taintedsorrcw 's writing collab, too much to dream !
Tumblr media
sakusa kiyoomi didn’t particularly understand when, last night, you had asked if he wanted to visit the newly-opened grocery store a few blocks away. puzzled, he reminded you that just last week, the two of you had done your monthly shopping in the supermarket you usually frequent and there’s nothing left to check off your list. it’s a different grocery chain, you had insisted, and therefore, will probably have different stuff. it finally clicked in his brain that you’re not interested in going with the intent of purchasing anything, but rather to go sightseeing, and he finally agrees to accompany you, noting the beam that instantly appears on your face when he does so.
how silly of them to be so excited over visiting a grocery store, he thinks to himself, features softening into a small, affectionate smile as he watches you bury yourself under the covers, seemingly satisfied with yourself as if you’ve completed a quest.
i love them so much.
and thus, this morning, you’re both walking hand-in hand from your shared apartment to the new store you can’t stop enthusing over, the mini expedition filled with conversation. he tells you about his upcoming matches, how he’s fairly confident in the Black Jackals’ ability to score a win, and recounts the comical antics of his teammates from their previous practice he had kept in mind because he thinks you’d enjoy the story (you did). in return, you tell him about the recent milestones you secure in your projects, a new book that piqued your interest after your friend had recommended it (sakusa makes sure to remember the title), and a possible family dinner in the next month that your parents would love for him to join.
10 minutes later, you and kiyoomi are already standing by the automatic sliding-glass doors of the store. it definitely has a different vibe than the usual supermarket, he’ll give it that. when you first step in, you’re greeted with the delicious smell of freshly-baked pastries from the artisanal bakery right at the front floor of the store. the air-conditioned indoors is a more-than-welcome change from the outside, providing relief from the humid summer heat. instead of the regular harsh fluorescent lights on the ceiling and the white-painted walls that seem to highlight everything on the shelves, the interior is darker, with both the walls and the floor in a complementing shade of dark grey. the lights are warmer and positioned right above shelves almost as tall as kiyoomi, perfectly distanced to provide an adequate but not overwhelming amount of lighting, while the sides and backed are reserved for refrigerators and freezers, showcasing produce, dairy products, and fresh meat and seafood. from where you’re standing, you can even make out what seems like a small deli near the cashier stations, advertising a selection of cuisines and delicacies.
it’s definitely not your usual supermarket.
even kiyoomi is taken aback, as the both of you momentarily still after you enter the store, admiring the modern interior that clearly, neither of you were expecting.
he takes a glance at you, amused at the way you’re looking around wide-eyed in wonder. he’s reminded of one of the reasons he loves you — the way you’re able to appreciate the little things, whether it be the aesthetically-pleasing assortment of goods on the shelves of an unfamiliar grocery store or the constellation of freckles that splay across his skin, once upon a time being an ugly source of insecurity until you start leaving soft, shy kisses all over them during nights when you hold each other close under the covers. the way you fuss and pout when the bouquet of flowers he gifts you start to wilt, despite knowing he buys one for you every week, anyway. the way the umeboshi that you make for him and pack into his lunchbox always has the right balance of sweet, salty and sour. the way you can’t meet his eyes for a second, loopy smile on your lips, right after he kisses you. the way he thought you would only be a temporary stop in his journey when you’d first met, only to find himself wanting to stay longer and longer by your side until he can’t even think of leaving.
kiyoomi nudges your side to grab your attention, silently snickering when you slightly stumble and narrow your eyes at him. his hand reaches out to find yours, heart fluttering when you immediately slot your fingers in between his, and he begins to lead you through the aisles.
“come on,” he smiles at you, giving your hand a gentle squeeze, “looks like we have a lot of sightseeing to do today.”

Rating food of the countries I've been to, from West to East:
Disclaimer: it's veeery subjective
***
Spain🇪🇸 : 7/10. It's okay. I expected their fish and seafood to be better, tho. A LOT of relatively cheap fresh juices, 10/10 for health. They also make surprisingly amazing pasta and surprisingly average paella.
France🇫🇷: 9/10. Never visited cafes or restaurants there, but Carrefour has an incredible variety of good meat. I love their pineapple pie, too. There are a lot of products for vegetarians, Muslims, and, in general, different people who have different eating styles. There's a lot to see. And omg, their bazaar days are something worth attending: I still regret that I never tried clams with white wine.
UK🇬🇧 : 6/10. Not impressed. Something tells me that they deliberately make fish-n-chips that terrible. But I absolutely loved the strawberries under hot chocolate, which was sold by two cheerful Polish girls near Madam Tussaud museum.
Switzerland 🇨🇭: 6/10. Migros has nice buns with spinach and those Japanese "sandwiches", overall, your whole salary is gonna be spent on food. (Lithuania core lol😭) McDonald's there SUCKS.
Norway🇳🇴: 4/10. I expected a lot for some reason. Prices gonna cause you a heart attack, the quality is gonna give you a second heart attack. Also!!! THERE WAS NO FISH IN THE SHOPS EXCEPT THE CANNED!!! I was deeply injured. Norwegian salmon is super popular in Ukraine, how can they not have any normal fish in the big supermarkets...
Germany🇩🇪: 1/10. I may be just unlucky, but every time I visit Germany and pick a random cafe with lots of people(!), it has the worst food I've ever tasted in my life. It's like that scene from Desperate Housewives: "Really? A woman who orders Chinese food for Christmas dinner cooked a pineapple pie?" I understand now why Ukrainian women often marry Germans. My heart bleeds when I see what exactly you eat. I want to cover you with a blanket and cook you a normal soup.
Czech Republic 🇨🇿: 7/10. The soup was nice, ставлю вподобайку👍
Poland🇵🇱 : 8/10. Soup in bread, my beloved. Doughnuts were some kind of overcooked in oil, tho.
Montenegro🇲🇪: 10/10. I love you. I love your salads, your seafood, and I LOVE YOUR LEMON ICECREAM!!!!!
Slovakia🇸🇰: 7/10. I don't really remember what I ate, I am sorry. But I was really impressed with your supermarkets for some reason. Gotta visit it again.
Hungary🇭🇺: 6/10. It was my first time I've ever tried street food, and I liked it. You guys know how to cook meat.
Greece🇬🇷: 7/10. One day, I'll find the guy who can cook Karavidopsiha and beg them to cook it once again. Nice fish!!! I remember your arbutus honey as old women remember their best lovers. But. One time, a man served my family with unpeeled shrimps in batter. :/ What the hell was that? Is that some kind of a national dish I'm not aware of? Minus three points for such bullying.
Cyprus 🇨🇾: 7/10. I shouldn't be obsessed with your carob tree pastille that much.
Lithuania🇱🇹: 10/10. I love you. Although, I'd love to spend less money on food too. I love your Maxima and Rimi and Iki. I love your cafes. I love your bakery, I love your cocktails, I looooooove your soups, and I love your Asian food too. It's very easy to become an alcoholic with such delicious wines and tinctures.
Latvia🇱🇻: 11/10. Oh my god. Oh my god. I'm on my knees. Your cream chanterelle soup and Lidl croissants and marinated onion and šašlyk and fish and dairy products🛐🛐🛐. You guys know how to serve. I've never seen such pretty food designs anywhere. And of course, Lido. It brings me in tears of joy and makes me remember Puzata Hata. No, for real, is there any dish you don't know how to cook?
Finland🇫🇮: 7/10. That's okay. Nice street food.
Belarus ⚪️🔴⚪️: 9/10. Oh my dear Belarus, you're gonna be the best chef in Europe once you're free from russia. I wish I ate more machanka and drank your pine tincture when I had the chance. I love your chicory, it's a bit greyish, but it's much more delicious than an average chicory. Delicious meat in the shops. Other food is soviet-like, which makes me nauseous.
Ukraine 🇺🇦: ♾️/10. Вітчизно моя! Ти як здоров'я, наскільки ти цінна, тільки той знає, хто тебе втратив. I don't know if my favourite shops still work. I loved every single cafe I've been to, yes, even that shitty prorussian Mafia and Eurasia. I loved Puzata Hata. I loved Khlibna Kava, and its amazing cherry cupcakes. I loved Moloko Vid Fermera. I loved little kiosks with fresh Makadamia nuts and huge variety of vegetables and fruits. I loved Flagman and Silpo, Lvivśki croissants, and chocolate shops. I loved my seafood store. I loved giant frappes in Shevchenko Park. I loved my Continent with its old classical French background songs. I love my Japanese food stores. There are so many places I love. I used to find my bazaar so ugly and dirty, but I would give everything to buy the sea ​​buckthorn jam from the cheerful old lady. But it's not gonna happen. My bazaar was shelled by russians to the ground.
Turkey🇹🇷: 9/10. Your Katmer, seafood soup and baked shrimps(?) are something 🛐.
Jordan🇯🇴: 7/10. Nice! You cook paella better than Spain, be proud of yourself. Although, I'd love to not be scared for my life as a woman all the time. Your bazaar seemed very interesting, but unfortunately, I don't speak Arabic. And I am a woman, which also sucks, I guess. I was totally covered in black, except for the face and hair, and people still stared at me like on a zoo exponate. McDonald's kinda sucks too, but not as much as in Switzerland.
Egypt🇪🇬: 7/10. It's okay. I've tasted only hotel food.
Sakartvelo🇬🇪 : 10/10. Our guide forgot about our existence, and we had to find any source of food to not die from hunger, so we went to your local bazaar and asked to fry some cheap fish. It had lots of bones, and I hate fish with bones, but I ate it all, and it tasted amazing.
Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦: 6/10. Most of the week, I just cooked some simple spiceless products like pasta and eggs from the small store. You are far from the level of grocery stores in Turkey. Although, your cold orange juice bottle saved my life from dying in the middle of the desert.
Qazaqstan 🇰🇿: 7/10. I don't really remember your supermarkets, I guess they were okay. But your bazaars are definitely something worth attending. Millions of varieties of honey with millions of tastes and very salty hard cheese Kurt.

10 Ideas for Eating Locally and Saving Money on Electricity
Eating seasonally and regionally has gained popularity. Producing food locally has numerous advantages for the economy, ecology, and health. Local food consumption reduces travel and CO2 emissions. It also lowers the energy expenses associated with producing food.
You might have heard that eating locally helps lower energy costs. It doesn't, however, solve every energy problem.
Eating locally entails sourcing your fruits and veggies locally rather than having them shipped long distances. As a result, less energy is needed and less pollution is produced by transportation.
Less energy and carbon are required in the transportation of local goods from the farm to your table. Also, it lessens the possibility of contamination, which can cause illness, and keeps your food fresh.
The purchase of a CSA share is among the best ways to assist your neighborhood farmers. These shares frequently show up at your door. For low-income families, some CSAs even provide SNAP and subsidized shares.
A quick and easy method to save money on electricity and help out your community is to buy local fish. Shop at the grocery store or fish market closest to you to accomplish this.
Since local seafood typically only passes through a few supply chain points, it is probable that your fishmonger is aware of the fish's origin and method of capture. Also, this guarantees that it will be fresher when it reaches you.
A fantastic approach to lowering your energy expenditures and promoting a sustainable, eco-friendly lifestyle is to purchase local beef. Also, it aids in avoiding processed meats, which are bad for the environment and your body.
The local food movement urges people to eat food that is produced nearby or within a 100-mile radius of their residence. Despite the fact that this is a commendable objective, food grown further away is not necessarily more environmentally beneficial.
Another simple approach to reducing your energy expenditures is to purchase local dairy products. In addition, it is a great source of enzymes, minerals, and vitamins.
According to the "Eat Local" movement, minimizing food miles also lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, the majority of the carbon footprint associated with food is not caused by transportation.
Eggs are a simple method to increase your diet's local food intake. It's crucial to make sure you're eating fresh eggs from chickens that were well-treated and bred in a humane way because they're a delectable source of protein and vitamins.
Eggs from pastured hens are better for you and taste better. They are also more environmentally friendly.
Local honey could help alleviate your allergy problems if you have them. The concept is that consuming local honey protects you from local pollen like a shot.
There isn't much evidence to back up this notion, though. It is more akin to a folk cure.
Locally produced bread will be more fresh than items that have been shipped from other parts of the country or perhaps the world. This results in less food waste and benefits the regional economy as well!
Because they use locally grown grains that are milled on site to produce wonderful bread, bakeries are flourishing in many towns. Farmers are able to sell more goods, including meat, bread, and cheese, as a result of helping to build a sustainable food infrastructure.
For many people, coffee plays a significant role in their morning routine. Yet, it can also consume a lot of energy.
Consider drinking local coffee rather than coffee from afar if you want to reduce your energy costs. Not only will you be helping your neighborhood, but you'll also be lowering your carbon footprint. This will safeguard both the environment and your health.
The best method to conserve energy for the majority of Americans is to eat less. That is undoubtedly the case for the majority of people, but for those who have a stronger sweet craving, eating local desserts may be simpler than you might imagine. Fortunately, there are a number of delectable and cutting-edge solutions to help you control your sweet addiction. These are a few examples.

(from ariadne) LUNAR RING what sort of places do u like to eat at in this town??? ive been in a mood to get some takeout but u know i have no friends just u
HELLO I THINK A LUNAR RING WOULD BE VERY COOL. BOTH A RING IMBUED WITH THE MAGIC OF THE MOON *AND* A SATURN-LIKE MOON
but anyway there's this really nice dim sum spot I can show you!! I love the experience of eating tiny food like dumplings and their veggie options are *wonderful*. they even have a variety of dairy free stuff, which is always a plus for me family.
there's also this one restaurant that for some reason serves fries by the bucket. great for when you have the munchies honestly. and good prices too. but their food can be a bit greasy at times. we could still go there someday though xD they have some lovely smoothies and milkshakes too!!
other than that I don't tend to eat whole meals out a lot, so I wouldn't know what to suggest. I do know there's a new barbecue place somewhere close to where you have your piano classes, but I don't eat meat, so I can't attest to whether it's good xD
if you want to go a bit more snacky, there's this really fancy farmer's market kind of place Diarmuid likes and sometimes people set up food stalls on weekends. it varies from week to week, but I've had some really good tempura there, and sometimes Diarmuid brings home some lovely fluffy bread that's made with organic stuff. once there was also a Brazilian stall with tapioca products that I really liked? there was this cheese bun like thing and some tapioca and cheese fried cubes that I just CANNOT forget. there are also some bakeries I adore. and my aunt/cousin/??? is actually hoping to open a cafe that I'm really excited about xD but it's not a concrete thing yet!!

A French boule's recipe was developed in Italy. A Sicilian family developed a recipe to use for their own purposes, and then it was adapted to baking in Europe. The recipe typically refers to the dough as "flowing" or "tossed" in the air. This is the reason why the outside of the boule is crunchy. Dairy products like butter or milk are utilized for the inside. Contrary to what it says it's not required to make use of dairy products when making the French boule.

Identifying whether you are Gluten Sensitive
Tumblr media
“Maybe you ate too much last night.” – “It’ll go away, I feel bloated from time to time.” – “It’s just a headache, it will go away.” – “I feel very anxious after breakfast; could be due to my stress about work.”
We’re often assuming our condition to be the cause of something that’s not really serious because the symptoms are so common and bearable at times. We often tend to make light of what we experience because we think it will go away, it’s only a matter of time. However, sometimes one could be more vulnerable than one makes it out to be. It begins to get serious and we start worrying when the symptoms repeatedly occur, and it becomes annoying and unbearable. Of course, it’s natural to feel discomfort until it gets worse; plus, you don’t want to overthink your problems. However, food sensitivities beg to differ.
In this blog, we’re talking about sensitivity to gluten and its confusing signs. It causes visible signs of discomfort that many times runs in one of the family members unnoticeably.
Gluten sensitivity causes a host of symptoms like abdominal pain, fatigue, bloating, diarrhea and even constipation. Other symptoms include nausea, headaches, joint and muscle pain, depression, anxiety, confusion, and anemia.
Gluten’s insensitivity!
While many people are free of gluten sensitivity, there are many yet who are prey to this condition.
Those who are sensitive to gluten may not be aware until the symptoms keep showing up and are diagnosed by their doctor.Celiac disease or a gluten allergy can be detected through blood testing or other standardized approaches. However, non-celiac gluten sensitivity isn’t as simple. This is because the immune system reacts in many ways to gluten and it’s difficult to test and identify the difference. In fact, all three forms of gluten intolerance, that is celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and wheat allergy can cause widespread symptoms. However, many of the symptoms may have nothing to do with digestion.
One of the best ways to experience noticeable difference from the symptoms is by eliminating gluten from the diet for three to six weeks. Later, reintroduce gluten and observe how your body begins to react. If the symptoms reduced without gluten and then reappeared when you ate it again, you can concur that you are sensitive to gluten.
Once you know, you can work with a dietitian to guide youwith a diet that is gluten-free.
It is not recommended to reintroduce gluten in your diet if you have celiac disease. In this case, you must be sure to do any celiac testing before eliminating gluten.
Foods to avoid when you are gluten sensitive
It is essential to completely eliminate gluten from your diet if you have celiac disease. However, we recommend one step at a time. It can help if you include one gluten-free meal per day, and then slowly replace other gluten-rich meals.
Symptoms vary from person to person; therefore, cutting out gluten entirely and abruptly may not prove beneficial for some people.
Here are a few common foods and drinks that people with gluten sensitivity should avoid.
·        wheat, and any derivatives of wheat, such as spelt
·        pancakes, waffles, and crepes
·        biscuits
·        many sauces and gravies

·        rye
·        pasta
·        bread and pastries
·        baked goods
·        noodles
·        crackers
·        cereals
·        malt beverages
Gluten-free foods to add to your diet
If you have celiac disease, you’ll be avoiding gluten for life. This means that you’re going to have to look away from items that have gluten on the menu. You’ll have turned away from those irresistible baked goods while passing by your once used-to-be favourite bakery shop. But, don’t lose hope – we’ve got some interesting gluten-free you can add to your daily diet habits.

✦ the future ahead - Edmund Pevensie x Reader
Tumblr media
summary: where you both think about the future but neither says anything. without communication anything can go wrong
warnings: none
word count: 1,784
even though you saw the birds fly and the scent of freshly baked bread wafting from the bakeries around you, on that winter afternoon, nothing compared to narnia. a feeling of nostalgia hit your thoughts and almost threw you off track. even though you were with edmund and lucy, the need to return to the great kingdom would come from time to time.
they had said goodbye to narnia a year ago and the kingdom had not yet requested you three, so edmund and lucy were still stranded at their uncles' house. you visited them almost every weekend and this was no exception.
“we are going to look for the vegetables, y/n. edmund, you go for the dairy” the pevensie’s aunt had been more than clear on what they should buy in the village store, so they couldn't go wrong. edmund went to look for the products while you and lucy went looking for the rest.
while you finished parking the bike, you waited for edmund's kiss on your cheek, as he always did before going somewhere without you, but it never came. he just turned around and went on his way.
"ed is been acting so weird" you and the youngest of the pevensies walked side by side until you reached the queue of people outside the grocery store, your topic of conversation was your boyfriend.
"I have noticed, since the other night he is distant" his sister said looking at you sideways. you didn't know what had gone wrong that night, because according to your memory it had been a common friday night dinner with his uncles. it was not the first time you had eaten with his uncles and his cousin, who he despised so much, and he had never behaved like this before.
"I want to think that spending so much time with eustace has affected him, because as far as I remember nothing went wrong at dinner" while you took out the list of vegetables that should be bought from your coat, you saw lucy's look and you knew that she knew something else.
"it's edmund, you know that expressing his feelings is not his strong suit"
"I know but ... we have been together for three years, I believed that hidden feelings were something of the past" it was hard not to grieve. your boyfriend had been ignoring you for two days and you couldn't find the reason inside your head.
you did the shopping almost automatically while you were thinking of thousands of things, one of them being the fact that, perhaps, edmund wanted to end your relationship. when you became aware that edmund was likely to want to break up with you, instead of going back to the bikes with the commander, you wanted to run away and cry in your bed. you thought what could you have done wrong?
"where is edmund?" lucy looked around for her brother, stopping only to observe a couple in the distance. they looked in love and lucy thought what she should do to have a boy so in love with her, as she saw her brother with you or the unknown boy from the warehouse.
a long line of men came out of a room; you knew that inside the place, there wasn't anyone selling the dairy products that he had been asked for, so it was rare that he was there. but his sister and you decided to look, just in case.
your suspicions were correct because when you two entered the venue, edmund was first in line, talking to a man sitting behind a table. at first you didn't understand what he was doing there, but when you saw the poster hanging on the table, you understood.
‘military enlistment row. no studies required '
ed had never mentioned he wanted to enlist and that worried your heart a little more than before. since when did he hide so much from you?
"edmund! you should be helping out with the groceries! " lucy called him from the entrance making your boyfriend turn angrily looking for the voice. there he saw you with a pained face and, for a moment, his stress and worry disappeared. he knew that he should give some explanations later, which would mean talking to you and facing seeing you in the face.
without whispering a word, the three left the room in search of the bicycles, ignoring the jeers of the other men trying to enlist, who were old enough.
"since when have you been interested in the army, edmund?" his sister spoke questioning him. even though he hadn't spoken to you, when he left the place he was waiting to hear your voice scolding him, that way he would know that you still cared. instead, lucy accused him while being distracted by the previous couple.
“I have fought battles and wars in narnia, I am the best sword fighter in all the kingdom! I need that adrenaline again” you didn't even look at him, rather you were making sure that all the food ordered was already bought and well placed on the bike to avoid accidents.
"ee are no longer in narnia, ed!"
the return was silent. a silence that everyone needed before reaching the house and being attacked by eustace even for breathing. the pevensie’s cousin was not mean to you, on the contrary he treated you better than his relatives but, as time passed, he began to gain confidence and now he made some acid remarks against you that were stopped by edmund.
the house was silent, so you assumed that the family had gone out for their monday walk and you thanked for the moment of calm.
"someone at home?!" the kitchen was empty, as well as the living room; so they gently turned on the radio and began to sort the newly bought groceries into the cupboards and refrigerator. edmund had not managed to buy everything that had been asked, so lucy had to go looking for them, insulting her brother on the way to the front door. edmund had probably seen the poster and immediately went to sign up, although the fact that he had a false identification meant that he had already thought about it before; long enough to come up with a plan and steal his aunt’s papers.
"why didn't you tell me you wanted to join the english army?" you turned around from where you were standing, with your back to the counter, watching your boyfriend take food out of paper bags. he did not look at you nor did he answer you, he only raised his shoulders as a sign that he did not know or did not care “do you really want to get out of here? I know you want to go back to narnia and everything, but...the army is dangerous, you would be years out of the country and no magical lion will come to your rescue if they throw a bomb on you"
"there is nothing here that stops me from going" edmund was being cold on purpose, he wanted to hurt you like you had hurt him a few nights ago.
"are you talking seriously?" your voice dropped noticeably and your eyes watered, especially when you saw how he raised his shoulders again. “can you at least tell me what I did wrong? because you have treated me like garbage since the other night and I have kept awake trying to understand where I screwed up but... believe me I can't figure it out” you were hurt and edmund hated being the cause of that pain.
his voice never left his throat, leaving you standing in front of him like a fool. when two minutes had passed and he was still looking at the bag in front of him without a word, you put down the can of tuna that you were holding and went to the stairs. you wanted to hide in the bedroom you shared with lucy during your stay and cry, he didn't want you there so when you could calm down, you would pack your suitcase and go back to finchley.
when you were stepping on the last step before reaching the second floor a voice distracted you.
"you said you didn't want to marry me!" you turned your body and saw him on the first step looking at you with tears in his eyes.
"what?" your mind presented you with a vague memory and you understood where the question was coming from.
"you were in the kitchen with my aunt, helping her with the dirty dishes ... and ... and you said you didn't want to marry me!" your feet went down two steps, getting closer but still very far.
"I never said that" you two had never talked about marriage, but the fact that you had been together for three years and you were close to reaching adulthood; marriage wasn't a crazy thought anymore 
"yes you did, don't lie to me!" you went down two more steps.
"I said ... I wasn't thinking of getting married now" a silence filled the room for a few seconds while your boyfriend lowered his head
"so ... do you think about marriage? ... I mean our marriage? ... for the future of course!" you finished going down the steps that remained reaching his height, to gently take his cheeks and raise his eyes to you.
"edmund ... you are the love of life, don't you think I think of a future for us?" you said sweetly as your eyes watered and you wiped away his tears.
"you do?" his arms wrapped around you leaving your faces even closer.
"I don't know what's ahead, but ... I know I want, whatever it is, to face it with you ... it's just that we're seventeen years old, ed...we have a lot of time to find out where the wedding will be” your last sentence caused a giggle from him.
"sorry for ignoring you, it's just that ... I got scared, because... I always think about a future with you and I thought ... maybe, you don't"
“in a few years when you put a ring on my finger, you will remember this weekend and think: I was a little fool"
with that phrase you sealed your lips in a sweet kiss, that moved to the beat of the radio song that sounded far away.
and as you said, it was. because seven years later, when edmund saw you running through the park with your child, he looked at your left hand adorned with the ring that had cost him so much to buy and smiled. you were right.
