Narnia drabble: Rightly Esteemed [Caspian/Peter, general]
Title: Rightly Esteemed
Author: celandineb
Fandom: Narnia
Pairing: Caspian/Peter (one-sided)
Rating: general
Summary: Caspian is not accustomed to such respect.
Note: For mauled_down, who wanted Peter/Caspian, "belittle." Bookverse, definitely!


After the years in which his uncle had belittled Caspian and pushed him aside, it was delightful to have the Old Narnians listen to him respectfully. Not that they always agreed with or took up his suggestions – they had been too long without a king to obey anyone unquestioningly – but they did comply, on the whole.

It was a greater balm to his spirit even than that when the Pevensies appeared from the deep past, brought by Trumpkin, and High King Peter himself spoke to Caspian as an equal. At that moment Caspian fell a little in love with him.
