Double Trouble (A Peter Pan x Reader Story)

Watching Them

Peter's POV:

    I was watching the two new drop-offs with Felix from a safe distance in the tree line. We were waiting to see how they were accustomed to the new situation, just like we did with every other one we have ever gotten. But, this pair intrigued me. And it's not just because they were the first pair of girls that the shadow had brought to the island, but because of how they started making jokes and laughing with each other despite what had just happened to them. I hadn't seen anything like it; most boys began to cry or were terrified when they first arrived, but these girls were laughing and carrying on!

    But, their jokes took a turn when one of them brought up their fathers, and they both started crying. For some strange reason, I felt pained to see the one on the right with (H/L) (H/C) hair and (F/C) glasses crying from being hurt all of the time. It made me want to run out there and comfort her, and I guess I made a move to because Felix grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back.

    I looked at him, and I could see the same expression I probably had. He looked pained too, and the arrival of two crying children had ever pained neither of us.

    I leaned over to Felix and whispered to him "Which one are you looking at?"

    "The one without glasses," Felix replied. I mentally let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding.

    "Good, because I'm looking at the one with glasses," I told him with a smirk.

    They were indeed an intriguing pair, and the way they took care of each other without worrying about themselves was something I had never seen before, even from other boys who had been dropped off with someone else. I saw them break away from their embrace and look at each other.

    "(Y/C/N), we're away from all of that now. Now, we fend for ourselves, just a bit more than we had to," the one that I had been eyeing said to soothe the one that Felix was looking at, whom I'm assuming is (Y/C/N).

    "(Y/N), shhh, I'm fine, you're fine, we're going to be fine, there hasn't been one card that life has dealt us that we haven't been able to get through, so why should this be any different? We're going to get through this and get passed out past. We are better off without them anyways," (Y/C/N) said to comfort who I assume is (Y/N). Their voices were still thick from all of the crying yet still (Y/N) nodded.

    "You're right," she said, wiping away any of the remaining tears and sniffling to clear her nose. (Y/C/N) did the same thing.

    "Let's go make that shelter," (Y/C/N) smiled as they both stood up ready to go.
