Disclaimer: I do not own OUAT, obviously.
I had this floating unfinished in my drafts for so long I kinda grow fond of it. Just kidding.
Warnings: M rated, kinda dark, no stuff for children here, okay? When it comes to OUAT!Pan is always better to warn you all people.
Mr. Smee hated the hot, wet air of the Neverland jungle.
The Captain sent him scouting on the beach and an order was an order, he certainly didn't want his anger on him but damn it, he really, really hated that jungle.
He drags his feet across the branches, sweat dripping on his forehead, cheeks hot, his red hat in place warming up his entire face. He takes it off, keeps walking.
No one seemed to be around.
That was good.
He was about to turn around and go back to the Jolly Roger, when something, someone appear in his visual field.
Mr. Smee looks up again and blinks.
Some blonde hair and a white dress flutter in the midst of green, where the forest slid towards the beach, making an almost ethereal figure take form in front of his eyes.
Mr. Smee narrows his eyes.
He squints hard.
She was…
"A girl?"
Back on the deck of the Jolly Roger, Captain Hook puts down his telescope, eyebrows knotted together on his forehead.
"What girl? Maybe you have poor eyesight, Mr. Smee. You must be mistaken. Pan's minions are all boys." The Captain fights hard the urge to rolls his eyes.
Really? They were called the Lost Boys, it should have been obvious enough even for someone as dumb-head as Smee.
"No, I swear I saw her, Captain. She was a girl and quite a pretty one, I might add"
Hook jerks his head to look back at his boatswain.
His eyes are pensive, confused. His frown grows even deeper on his forehead.
Killian Jones was really the furthest to understanding the workings of the devious mind of that demon-boy (as he liked to call Pan), nor did he want to.
For his own safety, he learned pretty fast how to keep his distance from everything that was Pan's concern.
And in Neverland that was pretty much everything.
But if that Mr Smee's words were true, well, that was really intriguing to say at least, for lack of better words.
Pan never showed interest in girls before.
Hook highly doubted he knew anything at all about the pleasures of the female company.
And even if he knew a lot better than to trust the mask the devil showed, Pan was still in the body of lad after all.
And if the lad was finally going through puberty, well, it could only mean dreadful things were ahead for all of them.
Surely, that was one good reason to keep himself off the land for quite a while.
But still, he couldn't shake the idea.
The news that there was a girl on the island, that Pan brought a girl was just too good to pass on and not see for himself.
"You are indeed a pretty one"
The voice speaking the words is deep, adult and totally stranger and makes Wendy spin around, suddenly.
The sun hits Hook's cheekbones and the water behind him sparkles just as blue as his eyes.
The ocean murmurs, the waves crash behind him, almost singing a song to introduce him.
So this is a new experiment I'm trying out.
I really don't wanna stop writing but since I'm a serial procrastinator with serious time management issues, from now on, I decided I'm gonna split up this story into short chapters so I can edit and post them faster and hopefully (?) more regularly.
Would that be alright with you guys? Please, let me know down below.
Also how do you feel about this chapter?
I just couldn't not throw Hook in the middle of the giant dis-functionality of Peter and Wendy and somehow it turned into this.
As always, the biggest thank you for reading.
