Work Text:
As the sky fades to black, a pair of lovers sits on their bench watching the sun fall behind the mountains. The shorter rests his head on the other’s shoulder.
“Tired Caspian?” The shorter, Caspian, shakes his head and scootches closer to the taller. Caspian hums quietly as he moves his head to kiss the tallers cheek.
“Nah, just wanted to be closer to you Rae.” The taller, Rae, flushes and hides his face in his hands as Caspian laughs. “You’re so easy to fluster.” Rae laughs alongside him, taking one of Caspian’s hands in his.
“You’re lucky I love you.” Rae smiles and presses his forehead to Caspian’s. “You’re just amazing, Darling.” Caspian hums and leans closer to Rae. The sun had sunk below the horizon, and the stars began to shine. Caspian turns his head to look at the sky.
“The stars are beautiful tonight.” Rae turns his head to look at them, a smile blooming across his face.
“Yeah, yeah they are. Not as pretty as you though.” Caspian laughs and buries his face in Rae’s hair. “What? You’ll always outshine the stars Caspian.” Caspian huffs and nuzzles further into Rae’s neck. The two are shocked by a sudden loud barking. Caspian whips his head up to look around.
“Atlas!? What’s going on girl?” Atlas comes running up to the pair tail wagging happily. Caspian looks up to see Sherbert and Momboo running after Atlas.
“Rae! Caspian!” Sherbert skids to a stop, panting harshly. Momboo right behind them. “We found something you might want to see!” Caspian looks over to Rae, who nods at him.
“Well then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” They stand up and Caspian ties a lead onto Atlas’ collar as they run after Sherbert and Momboo. Rae grasps Caspian’s hand as they run. Sherbert and Momboo lead them to a secluded area of Spawn, showing them a library that they had found.
“There’s a lot of books in there, but one is addressed to Rae specifically.” Sherbert says as they lead the group down the spiral staircase. Momboo nods as she carefully descends.
“One for Caspian too, full names and everything.” Rae looks at Caspian as they reach the end of the stairs. Rae looks around and gasps, the library was humongous, with shelves spanning as far as the eye can see. “We went outside and checked and it’s really small from the outside.” Caspian smiles.
“Bigger on the inside.Where are these books?” Momboo leads them to a shelf full of books - every colour of the rainbow, every size, hardcover, paperback, notebooks, fiction - any kind of book you just name it, it's on that shelf. Rae gasps as Sherbert pulls off two books, handing them to Rae and Caspian respectively. Caspian opens his book, noting that it seems freshly made. “Huh, this seems new…?” Rae nods in agreement as he flips through his book.
“Well the last part is torn off, but from what is still here, It’s asking me to keep… Someone, it’s crossed out, safe. So it’s already edited even though it seems brand new.” Rae looks up at Caspian. “What about yours?” Caspian sighs and looks up.
“It’s more notes from my adventures, and what I was doing to try and rescue the Lady of The World. But it’s obviously a copy, because it’s not my handwriting and it’s new. There’s also a note at the beginning saying ‘I couldn’t find the original so I copied it down for you.’ so it makes me think someone rewrote more books that we might find.” Caspian looks up at Rae, who nods and sighs.
“It’s gonna take forever to go through all of these.” He looks around at the shelves. Sherbert laughs and smiles at Rae.
“Not if we all work together! Come on guys!”
