A/N: Peter Pan likes to play games. Nobody knows this better than Felix. But what game is Peter playing now? It all starts as innocent fun as all games do.
M/M rated T to be safe but rating may change in further chapters. Please read and review. This is my first Panlix or Fan fanfiction that I've ever written.
Pre-curse and during Baelfire's time in Neverland
Chapter one
It was a cold night in Neverland and most of the lost boys had gone to sleep but Felix sat by the camp fire staring at the flames. Earlier that day, Pan and the boys had gone around the island on search of an intruder but their magic was so great that it hadn't been possible for them to find them. At least, that's what Pan had said.
Peter Pan, as Felix knew very well, was known to lie to the lost boys. He didn't do it to be mean to them. He lied so that he'd protect them. Both Pan and Felix knew that there had been no intruder on the island. Pan had to go to skull island to check on how much magic the island had left.
Pan confided souly in Felix with everything including his dark plans for immortality and the secrets he had discovered about the island. Felix, in turn, trusted Pan with all of his heart. He was the most loyal lost boy but he held one secret from Pan.
Felix would never admit it out loud but he had deep feelings for Pan, romantic feelings that swelled in his heart every time he was near him. He dreamed of wrapping his arms around Pan's waist and pulling him close against him. He dreamed of laying with Pan in his arms as they both slept.
But he couldn't act upon his dreams. How could he?
It was as if thoughts could bring a person out, Pan appeared at the fire watching Felix when he broke away from his thoughts.
"Felix," Pan said stepping over to the lost boy. "What are you doing by the fire? Everyone else is already in bed."
Felix looked up at him and shrugged. "I'm sorry, Pan. I'll get on to bed now."
As Felix stood up, Pan pushed him back down to where he sat and took the seat besides him. He snapped his fingers and the dwindling fire became roaring once more. Felix watched as Pan stretched out and found what was comfortable on log Felix was sitting on before turning to him with his normally smug grin.
"Relax, Felix," He smiled and gave a chuckle. "I never made it law for you to have to go to bed."
"I suppose you have a point," Felix said with the usual monotone drawl in his voice. "What do you purpose instead? A comfy chat by the fire?"
Felix was probably the only one Peter let get away with sarcastic remarks. He laughed at them and shook his head because he knew that Felix never would go against him. He knew Felix would always believe in Peter Pan.
And that was his intention. It felt grand to have someone at your side who constantly believed in you no matter what you did. Peter enjoyed seeing the excited gleam in Felix's eyes when he offered up some sort of test or bit of information. It was his form of sick, twisted pleasure to see the boy want to be used.
"You know how I love games, Felix," Peter smirked. "I have a game for you. It's called truth or dare! I've watched people in other realms play this game and I knew you'd be the one up for the challenge."
Felix stared at him confused. "This is your idea of a game?"
"You question me?" Peter said with a relaxed expression as he stared at the flames dancing in the fire.
Felix shook his head. Never would he question it, he had promised himself. Go with what Pan says because Pan never fails. That was the way Felix chose to live his life as a lost boy. He was Pan's most loyal follower.
"Never, Peter," Felix said and nodded.
"Good!" Pan chuckled. "Let's play!"
Felix listened as Peter explained the rules to him. He tried to look uninterested as he knew the rules already but, something about the way Pan explained them seemed so...exciting. It felt as if they were about to embark upon an adventure.
When he finished, he told Felix that he could go first.
"Alright," Felix said. "Truth or dare."
"Dare," Peter said with a brave smirk as he waited for Felix to dare him something stupid.
Felix thought for a moment, the fire still burning brightly and the sounds of Neverland whispering around him.
"I dare you to run into a tree," Felix said not sure what to say.
Peter laughed and shook his head. "No different than any normal day. Come on, Felix. Give me a good one next time."
Peter shot forward at a high speed and colided with the tree seemingly without injury or any other type of trauma. He came back and sat down calmly laughing at Felix's amazement.
"Truth or dare, Felix," He said softly.
"Truth," Felix said sounding bored.
"Do you like me, Felix?" Peter said leaning in a little, his voice calm and mystifying.
Felix looked into the flames and sighed softly. Oh ho
w he didn't want to answer the question. But he had to. Peter didn't like cheaters when it came to games.
"As a friend?" He questioned. "You know you're the only one I'd follow."
Peter raised a brow. "That's not what I asked, Felix."
Felix looked at Peter with a slight gleam in his eyes. Should he tell the truth? He had to. Peter hated people who cheated, after all.
"I like you," He said softly so that eavesdroppers wouldn't be able to hear.
Peter grinned. "How very nice, Felix. You're turn."
Peter chose dare and Felix, again not knowing what to dare im, told him to jump crazily around the fire like all of the lost boys tended to do. Peter did it and then went back to sit with Felix. He looked at Felix and waited before asking truth or dare to his loyal follower.
"Dare," Felix felt a bit nervous as he said it but that was the one word that he knew Peter wanted to hear.
"I dare you...to kiss me!"
Peter didn't grin. He sat there expectantly as Felix stared at him slightly confused before smirking in amusement. He waited but Felix didn't know if he could do this. He blinked a few times and then leaned forward slightly.
Peter was the one to close the gap between them as he wrapped his arms around Felix to keep him from pulling away. However, there were two reasons that Felix wouldn't pull away. The first reason was because he was afraid Peter would get angry at him for it. The second? He was enjoying this no matter how much his blush said he was embarrassed.
When they finally pulled apart from the kiss, Felix tried to hide his blush from Peter but with very little success. Pan laughed and shook his head.
"You ever kiss a boy before, Felix?" He asked with a cheeky grin.
"That was a first," Felix said softly staring at Peter a bit shocked still that they had just kissed.
In truth, Felix had never kissed anyone ever before. Never had the need stuck him.
Suddenly, Pan's attention averted from Felix.
"Somebody is here," He said. "In Neverland."
