"Peter...?" Wendy whispered breathlessly as their lips pulled apart, the only thing causing their kiss to end was the need for air, still, they remained pressed so close to one another.

"Aye." Killian hummed gently, leaning down for another kiss which she accepted wholeheartedly as her arms wrapped tightly around his lean waist.

"I...how...how are you in Storybrooke?" She asked slowly, her mind being flooded with memories and emotions as she looked at the tortured man in her arms.

"Too long a story, love...the course of my life has taken a drastic turn since you left me in Neverland." He informed her, his eyes sad at the memory.

Had he really believed that she would have abandoned him?

"I didn't leave you...well, I mean...I left...but I never intended to stay gone. You have to believe that." She begged, his eyes never leaving hers as her hand reached up and cupped his stubbled cheek.

"I believe you...I'll be wanting the details after we've properly finished this lovely reunion." He replied as a slow grin began on his lips, the action sending a sparkle straight up to his impossibly blue eyes.

There he was.

"I see you hiding in there, boy." Wendy smiled gently.

"It took you to bring him back." He whispered as he leaned back down to kiss her once more, unable to get enough of what he had been without for so long. She sighed happily and closed her eyes as their lips moved against each others slowly, heat building up between them.

"All I wanted was to see them one last time. Never did I believe I'd never see you again." Wendy whispered against his lips, her eyes welling up with tears of guilt for him. For what he had gone through without her. Over 300 years of heartbreak over a girl he couldn't remember. 300 years of longing for someone he had loved so sweetly. So purely.

"Your parents?" He said gently, their eyes meeting again.

She nodded slowly.

"But how?" He asked her softly, reaching up with his good hand and brushing a tear away that had fallen down her cheek.

"The Lost Boys...they had a magic bean. They promised me a way there and back. I know now they just wanted you...I hope they didn't get what they wanted. Did they?" She asked him.

"No, love. They did not. Though, they certainly tried. They told me that you had run off to another land...that you had never loved me. That you couldn't bare to stay in Neverland with me another moment longer." He said, his voice cracking softly in his sadness at the memory coming back to him.

"And you believed them?" She replied, shocked.

"What was I to think? You had been so sad before it all happened. Homesick and all. Regardless of what I thought was true...I left Neverland to find you, to hear the truth from you. Tinkerbell was able to conjure magic beans and I searched for so long, love...so long..." He said, his voice quieting before his eyes closed tightly. Wendy's hand wiping his tears away as they fell.

"I loved you...even when I didn't quite know it. Even when the land and my memories were gone to prevent it. I just knew something was missing. Something so beautiful..." She cried gently.

"I became this, this shell of a man because of my hopelessness...I let my heartache consume me. I became Killian Jones and I let myself forget you by growing up. I was Ruthless. Unfeeling. Heartless. I've done horrible things...unspeakable things." He cried softly as he dipped his head down in shame, not wanting her to see his tears.

"I don't deserve your love now." He whispered.

"That's the thing, Peter...sounds like now is when you need it the most." She said gently as her hand moved down to his chin and she forced him to look at her, his eyes opening slowly. He nodded twice before sniffling gently.

He then went on the tell her how Captain Hook came to be. Rumpelstiltskin's wife, Milah and the way he lost his hand. The thought of him loving another woman was unbearable to Wendy, but she didn't let on. She simply listened to his story.

Things that wouldn't have happened had she never left Neverland that fateful day...

"I have to make them pay for what they've done to us." Killian said, averting his gaze from her and going back to a dark place in his mind.

Going back to Hook.

"No. We have each other now. That's what's important. Don't let another quest for revenge ruin what should be so happy. Please...?" She begged softly.

"Wendy, love...they can't just get away with what they've-" He began before she leaned forward and captured his lips with hers in a tender kiss, sufficiently quieting him.

"Make them pay with our love. They'd hate to know that even with all of this, that we've still managed to be together. Managed to find one another after being lost to each other for so long. Isn't that so much better?" She whispered against his lips, his eyes closed dreamily as he leaned in once more, unable to resist the temptation of yet another kiss from his True Love.

"Still such a smart lass...and somehow, even more beautiful than I remember." He whispered before pulling away slightly and opening his eyes, gazing at her in wonder.

"I knew there was something about you the moment I saw you. You made me remember a feeling, one I haven't felt in so many lifetimes. I almost was beginning to wonder if I were incapable..." He said gently, his eyes examining her face, picking out traces of the young girl he once knew. Her eyes with its flecks of grey amongst a sea of blue. The birthmark just above her lips. Though her features were certainly more so of a grown woman, he could see her there...playfully hiding in her smile.

"What do we do now?" She asked gently, her hand still holding his chin, her thumb brushing against his soft bottom lip, tracing the fresh cut there from his fight with Gold earlier.

"Well, love...I don't know if it's come to your attention, but I'm very much a man now...and you are most certainly a woman. Perhaps we could-" He began with a little smile.

"Peter!" Wendy laughed. The moment a bit too light for what was happening currently, but it was certainly welcomed.

"What? I was merely suggesting that we should catch up as two grown ups. Whatever were you thinking, darling?" He chuckled.

"Nevermind..." She laughed, dropping her hand and slipping out of his arms, a blush on her cheeks as she turned around embarrassed.

"Unless you have something more stimulating in mind?" He said huskily in her ear before he placed a soft kiss on her earlobe, his teeth playfully tugging.

"This is all too much..." She sighed gently, her eyes closing when she felt his warm breath tickle her ear, his lips gently coaxing her to see things his way. Suddenly his strong arms were around her, his chest pressed against her back and his lips falling slowly downward to her neck which he then lavished with attention.

"Lass, I can't control myself right now...tell me to stop." He whispered against her skin, his tongue darting out to taste her before he kissed and sucked on the area thoroughly.

Truth was, she didn't want him to stop. She wanted him. But, it was too soon. Not tonight and not after all of this. She needed to process it all. She needed him back in his cell and she needed space.

"Peter...please..." She whimpered softly, his hand caressing her side as he continued his advances. His lips leaving everything in their trail hot and wanting more. So much more.

When he didn't stop, she put her hand over his to stop his gentle touch but his lips were relentless.

"Hook...?" She tried next.

Nothing.

"Killian?" She breathed out softly.

"Mmmmm?" He cooed to her lazily, his lips nuzzling into her neck.

She closed her eyes in realization as it hit her. For all that he was...the boy Peter she had known so long ago, Killian Jones and lastly, Hook; the nefarious pirate Captain...3 human beings so different yet one thing was for certain.

They all loved her.
