[PETER PAN IMAGINE]

IMAGINE BEING A PUNK WHO SHOWS UP ON NEVERLAND, AND FALLING IN LOVE WITH PETER PAN

He watched you from across the bonfire, sending you a cocky grin as your eyes met, and you blushed. He had been giving you flirty hints for some time now, from winks to straight-up flirts and teased you by letting your hands brush each other as he passed you. He never actually said it, but it was obvious that he had feelings for you - and you had feelings for him too.

Tinkerbell had come by you sometimes, telling you that Peter wasn't a good person - told you that it wasn't a fairytale where he'd save you all, but you found it hard to believe, thinking she was just jealous. You were completely under Peter's spell, he had tangled you in his web - but even if he had plans for you, trying to charm you for his own purpose, he had noticed that the strangely dressed person brought in by his shadow was really working their way to his heart. He was scared for the first time in his life after trading Rumple for his eternal youth, he had tried to convince himself for years that love is a weakness and he should avoid it in all cases. That thought had made him extremely cold and manipulative, but was that shell of his slowly cracking?

Those thoughts were circling in his head when you still looked at him across the bonfire and bit your lip with a blush tinting your cheeks - he couldn't help but wonder if love really was a weakness.
