"You put on quite the show there, my love," Pan said making Y/n jump a little. "Don't scare me like that." She complained. Pan chuckled and pulled her closer. He pushed some hair behind her ear and brushed his thumb over her soft cheek. "I missed you." He tells her. Y/n smoked and snuggled into his chest. "I missed you too." She said. Pan holds her tightly as she rests herself against his body. Pan slowly runs his hands through her hair. "I have something for you, love." He tells her. She glances up at him. Pan smiled and holds up her teddy bear. She sat up quickly. Her face lit up and she snatched the teddy bear from his hands. She holds it tightly against her chest as she smiled at him. He chuckled and pulls her closer again. "How are you holding up?" He asked her. She shrugged and closed her eyes. "It's been fun to see Killian, but he has changed. I wanna go home." She whined. Pan smiled at her. "You will. But first, have you figured out anything?" He asked her. "Not much. Parts of their plan. They mostly asked me about you and Henry." She tells him. "And what did you tell them?" Pan asked. Y/n glanced up at him, opening her eyes again. "Nothing. Of course, I wanted to tell them all about you and the things you can do." She smirked, "but that seemed a little inappropriate." She said. Pan nodded. "It would have." He said. There was a silence between them for a few seconds. Y/n sat up straight again to look at Pan. "Peter?" She said quietly. "What is it?" He asked her. Y/n bit the inside of her cheek before exhaling loudly. "Is Bae alive?" She asked him. Pan shot up. "What?" He exclaimed. Y/n's grip on her teddy bear tightened a little. "I heard you talking to Killian. You said Bae was alive." Y/n said. Pan didn't say anything, he didn't even open his mouth. "Peter?" She repeated, "please, say something." She said. Pan rubbed his chin. "You weren't supposed to hear it." He tells her. "But is it true?" She asked him. He sighed. "It is." He tells him. Y/n's eyes widened slightly. "He is?" She questioned, "when were you going to tell me?" She asked. Pan bit his bottom lip slightly. "You weren't going to tell me at all, were you?" She asked him. Pan brushes his thumbs over the exposed skin of her waist. "I didn't want to upset you." He tells her. Y/n sighed and lied on his chest again. "We'll talk about this in the morning." She tells him. "You're not mad, are you?" He asked her. Y/n sighed, she was indeed mad at him for not telling her. "We'll talk about it tomorrow." She repeated.

"I can't believe you got tricked by her," Regina said annoyed. Killian rubbed his hook against his nose. "What's the deal between you two anyway?" Emma asked. Killian stood up from the rock he was sitting on. "It doesn't matter. What matter is that we get Henry back, right?" He asked them. "Why do I feel like you're hiding something from us to protect her?" Regina questioned making Killian sigh. Emma stood up as well. "She's the girl Neal drew on the wall in the cave, isn't she?" She asked. "It doesn't matter!" Killian snapped at them, "All that matters is getting your son back. That's why we're here, not to get lost in the past." He tells them. Regina laughed at him. "You're not here for Henry." She argued. "I'm risking my life for all of you, every moment I'm here aligned against him," Killian replied. "What did you do?" Emma questioned. The pirate turned back to the blonde. "It doesn't matter, love. She's an old friend and Pan doesn't exactly approve of it." He explained, "Baelfire...Neal, he was very close with her. That's why he drew her on the wall." He continued. Regina rolls her eyes. "This is a waste of time." She complained. Killian glared at her before looking back at Emma. "What I did doesn't matter. What does matter, is that we're aware of Pan. Y/n means a lot to him and as long as she's with us we have to make sure nothing happens." He tells them. "And how do you expect us to do that? That girl goes from tree to tree. She gets scratches all the time." Regina reminds the pirate. "I meant, one scratch caused by us and we lose our heads," Killian responded, "and trust me, he won't make it quick." He assures them. Emma sighed and puts her hands in her back pockets. Everyone turned away from the pirate. He sighed deeply and turned towards the tree Y/n climbed in. He saw her sleeping peacefully on a branch. "Don't wake her," Pan tells him. The boy leaned against the tree where only Killian could see him. The pirate stepped closer to the boy. "Having fun?" Pan asked him.

"What do you want?" Killian questioned. Pan shrugged. "I'm checking up on her," Pan tells him. They both looked at the girl up in the tree. She smiled in her sleep. "I'm taking her," Pan tells the pirate. "Can't you give us a little more time, mate?" Killian asked. Pan chuckled at him. "You're lucky I let her come here. You should be glad you're still alive." He reminds him. "Peter," Y/n whispered in her sleep and cuddles closer with her teddy. Killian turned back to Pan. "Mate, I-" he started. Pan chuckled again. "You actually think I'll let her stay here? With you?" He questioned. He stepped closer to Killian. "I'm still waiting." He tells him. "For what, exactly?" Killian asked the boy. "For you to tell Emma about Neal, of course." Pan chuckled, "I can't wait to see her face when you tell her." Pan added. "And what makes you think I will?" Killian asked him. Pan shrugs. "Because you're madly in love with her, Captain. It would be a shame if your relationship is based on secrets instead of the truth." Pan taunted him. "I'm not telling her about Neal," Killian tells him, "I can't let her go through that again." He added.  Pan chuckled at him. "So thoughtful of you, Captain. Very sweet. But she will find out one day. It's up to you to decide when that day is." The boy replied. He walked over to the tree where Y/n was sleeping. He looked at the pirate again. "Next time you'll see her, is when she puts a dagger in your heart." He informs the man. He snaps himself up into the tree. He picked up Y/n in his arms. "I'll see you around, Captain," Peter spoke, "if you live till then, of course." He added. He had a smug smirk on his face. And with that, they disappeared. Y/n smiled in her sleep as Pan carried her back to their tent. The boy smiled down at her. He walked into the tent and put the girl on the bed. She hugged her plushie tighter. Pan couldn't stop smiling at her. "I love you, so much." He whispered to her.

A couple of hours later, Y/n woke up in Pan's arms. His nose was nuzzled into the crook of her neck. She glanced around. They were back in their tent in the camp. Y/n sat up slightly. Pan pulled her tighter against him. "Don't leave me again." He mumbled in his sleep. Y/n smiled and turned around to look at him. Pan opened his eyes to look into hers. "You told me to go." She tells him. Pan pressed his forehead against hers. He brushed his nose against hers. "The worst decision I've made in years." He assures her. Y/n put her hand in his messy mob of hair and played with it. Pan inhaled deeply. Her sweet vanilla scent hasn't left yet. It was the perfume Pan had the lost boys make for her. "God, I love that smell." He whispered to her. He puts her hands on her waist. She smiled and snuggled into his chest. "I like these mornings with you, Pan." She tells him. "Peter," He reminds her, "My name's Peter, Love" He added. "Sorry. I like these mornings with you, Peter." She corrected herself. Pan smiled at her. "That's a good girl." He smirked at her. He pushed some hair behind her ear. "Do you want to talk about Bae?" Pan asked her. She nodded in response. She rests her chin on his chest. "What's he doing here in the first place?" She asked him. "He's here for Henry," Pan explains. "But why?" She asked him. He runs his hand through her hair. "Henry is Baelfire's son. He's come here to save him." Pan tells her. Y/n rests her head on one of her hands. "But you're not going to let him, right? How did he even get here?" She asked him. "Of course not, we need him. And I think the shadow brought him here. It doesn't matter how he got here. What matters is that we are getting our happy ending." Pan tells her and kisses her lips. Y/n blushed a little. "You taste like apples." She tells him. He chuckled at her. "I thought you liked apples." He replied. Y/n smiled at him. "I never said I didn't." She tells him and kisses him again.

Pan sat up straight in the bed. "Love, I need you to do something for me." He said. Y/n sat up as well. "If you want to kiss me, you don't have to ask." She tells him. She puts her hand on his chest to feel his heartbeat. Pan gently grabs her wrist. "That wasn't what I was going to ask you." He tells her, "Henry is getting suspicious." Pan started. He looked into Y/n's eyes as he spoke. He saw that little twinkle in her eyes which always made him smile. "That's not strange. He's Bae's son, what did you expect?" The girl asked. Pan runs a finger through her hair. "I need you to use your acting talent once more." He tells her. Y/n tilted her head. "You want me to trick him? Into what?" She asked. She started to play with the strings of his shirt. She broke eye contact while doing it. "I want him to believe," Pan replied. He glanced down at her fingers which still played with the strings. "What do you want him to believe in?" Y/n questioned. "Me," Pan answered. He glanced back up and met her gaze. Y/n stared into his eyes for a while until she nodded. She glanced down at his lips before looking back into his eyes again. "I can do that." She responded. Pan smiled at her. "That's my girl." He said and pecked her lips again. Y/n giggled at him. "Morning cuddles!" She exclaimed and wraps her arms around his neck. Pan happily wrapped his arms around her figure and puts his face in the crook of her neck.
