Ardent Disposition (Peter Pan, Robbie Kay fanfic)

Chapter 25

(Peter's POV)

I waited for Julianna's energy to fade down, indicating that she was asleep. I walked outside into the cool air.

It was that hour of night when it was sort of...peaceful. When most of the boys retired to their rooms to go to sleep, and only a few were left.

And they just sat there in a comfortable silence around the fire, and they didn't have to talk to each other to know that they were there.

Sometimes one would fall asleep against the log, and another would gently wake him up and offer to walk him to bed. They really did treat each other like family, and it was nice. But I really didn't see a need for all that myself.

When I passed by them, Noah looked up and gave a small nod. I nodded back, and returned my eyes to the path in front of me.

I approached her cabin, and halfway up the steps I wove my arm up in a fluent motion and was now in the room.

I gingerly made my way to her dresser. Another wave of my hand resulted in a new pair of clothes for her to wear, she's been in the same ones for a while.

I folded them and placed them on top the dresser, admiring my work.

I walked over to the side of her bed to see her for a second, and then brought myself back in my own room.

I walked to the calendar and crossed off the date. September 24th, another day gone. I flipped a couple pages to November, and circled the 31st, accepting the fact that eventually she had to leave.

I hesitantly flipped another page to her birthday, which was already circled. I stared at it for a moment and then slammed the pages shut, and fell back into my chair.

I crossed my legs up on the desk and picked up a small brown leather book. This had every day's schedule, and who was doing, and in charge of what.

I added Julianna to a couple things, and went through and tweaked a couple other things. Soon after I laid in bed and stared at the ceiling until I fell asleep.

It's a little short, but this is kind of showing another side of Pan when no ones watching. And he still takes care of her even if she doesn't know it and it puts him in pain. Enjoy
