Neverland is no place for Love (Dan and Phil fanfic)

The Tent

Pan turned his head and caught me looking at him. I turned my head fast and pretended I was looking at the fire the whole time but Pan didn't buy it. He pushed himself off the tree and began walking towards Phil and me.

"You can dance too if you want, Dan" Peter said sitting next to me on the log. He put his pipe to his lips and began to blow, but no sound came out. The boys began to chant louder almost as if they were aware the pipe was being blown into.

"You can't hear it, can you?" Peter said noticing me trying to figure it out. I shook my head and He then continued explaining. "You see Dan this pipe is enchanted. Only boys who are ready to call Neverland their home can hear it. I'm sure you'll hear it soon enough."

"Yeah maybe" I said letting out a little yawn. With all the excitement I didn't even realize how tired I was until now. "I'm a little tired. So where can I stay?" I asked.

"Yeah I bet you are, it has been a long day for you and it's probably 4am your time. Don't worry you'll adjust soon enough. I'll get Felix to take you to your bed." He replied. I watched as Got up and walked over to a boy, assembly Felix, who was sitting down at the other end of the camp in the darkness.

"Yet another lie" I heard Phil say "The Pipe can only be heard by boys who feel unloved and lost. Not by the boys who call the island home. But then again I guess those things are one in the same. Just a nicer way of putting it." Phil stopped talking as soon as he saw Pan coming towards us again with Felix behind him. Felix was tall but appeared much shorter because of the way he hunched his back. He had blond hair that could only be seen a little bit under his hood, but the most noticeable thing was a large, deep scar going over his left eye. He must have been Pan's right hand man from the way he responded so quickly to him.

"Felix, take Dan here to the newbie bed." Pan instructed. I got up to follow Felix and said goodnight to Phil who looked kind of sad when I left. "See you tomorrow" I heard Pan call from behind us. I ran to catch up with Felix and asked "What did Pan mean when he said newbie bed?"

"You have to earn your keep on this island and since it's your first day you didn't earn a real bed yet" Felix explained in a tone as though I was annoying him by asking a question. He stop in front of a tent in the middle of the woods. "Here you go" Felix said with no emotion and walked away. "Seriously" I said to myself looking at the small tent. With my height i could barely stretch my legs. As I opened the tent I noticed there wasn't a sleeping bag or anything just a blanket and a pillow. I laid down feeling dirt and rocks under me through the fabric of the tent. I could tell i wasn't going to get much sleep that night. What felt like a long while later, I was tossing and turning trying to get some sleep when i heard footsteps outside my tent. The footsteps came closer and closer till i heard my tent start to move. I froze with my back to the door, scared that it was a bear that was going to kill me or something. My tent door flew open and i was about to scream, but i felt a hand be pressed over my mouth. Then i saw it was just Phil with a finger pressed to his mouth signaling for me to be quite. I nodded and he took his hand off my mouth.

"Hey" Phil whispered
"Hi" I replied confused on why he was here. "What are you doing here?" I asked
"Well I know what it's like having to sleep in the newbie bed. It sucks, especially when you're our height." I thought it was bad for me in this tent but I can't imagine what is was like for Phil, even though he's just a couple inches taller than me. It must have sucked even more for him. "So I was wondering if maybe you wanted to maybe, come stay with me for the rest of the night. We would have to be really quite cause Pan wouldn't like it if you didn't get the whole "initiation" thing." Phil offered
"I don't know. I don't want to get you in trouble or take up your space."
"No, no I want you there. To be honest I hate being alone even after all this time i still get a little creeped out from the forest. It would be nice to talk someone while i fall asleep and I'll worry about Pan if we get caught."
"Ok sure" I said starting to crawl out of the tent first with Phil behind me. "don't stare at my ass" I said jokingly
" What no I wasn't i-i..." Phil said as I could almost feel him blushing.
" relax I was kidding."
" Oh yeah me too" Phil said with a laugh. I finished crawling out of the tent with Phil coming out behind me.
"Come on this way." Phil said grabbing my hand and starting to run through the forest. We both started laughing really hard. Phil brought me to this large tree house and he started climbing up the ladder. Then he looked down at me and said "Now you don't look at my butt." That made us laugh even harder. Once we got into the tree house we started playfully pushing each other and then Phil tackled me on the bed. I started wrestling him until he pinned my hands above my head. He was a lot stronger then he looked. I looked up at him smiling while he looked back at me. Then his face went straight causing me to be confused. That was until he started to lean in and I felt him press his lips to mine. I closed my eyes sinking into the kiss until Phil jerked back suddenly.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry" Phil apologized rolling off of me, sitting next to me with his hands on his face. I was still frozen in shock and didn't know what to do. I did, however, know that i really wanted to kiss him again.

"Phil its ok" I tried to comfort him.

"No- I shouldn't have done that. I promise it won't -" Phil started to say but i pushed him over hovering on top of him.
"I said it's ok" leaning down and placing my lips back on his. He immediately reacted by kissing me back. At first it felt a little weird for me I don't know if it was because this was my first kiss or because I was kissing another guy, but then it felt right. Phil flipped us over so he was on top and took control of the kiss. We moved in perfect unison. The kiss wasn't like how i saw on tv, all fast and sloppy. This kiss was slow and loving and made my brain turn to mush, my body just melted into the bed. Phil pulled away, rolling to the side of me catching his breath. While i just stared up at the ceiling to process everything that just happened. Trying to remember every detail of how it felt.
"Wow" I said not even realizing I said it.
"I know right" Phil said in response while moving closer to me and laying his head on my chest. I immediately put my arm around his waist pulling him closer.
"You're nice and warm like a big teddy bear." Phil said causing me to laugh. "I like that. That's your new nickname: bear. You like it? "Phil looked up at me smiling with his ocean blue eyes sparkling waiting for my approval.
"I love it! But then what should your new nickname be?" I asked
"I don't know. Something cool like a lion" Phil said doing his best impersonation of a lion roar, causing me to laugh.
"Ok. Lion and bear it is. I like it"
"Me too" Phil agreed. We laid there for a while till I felt Phil's breathing became steady and I knew he had drifted off to sleep. I leaned my head down and kissed his head before closing my eyes and falling asleep with my head against his.
