A/N: Dialogue prompt: "By the gods! You love her, don't you?"

Somehow during my writing the Felix chapter for Seven Minutes, I've fallen in love with this character and his actor, so you're getting the product of my fangirling.

I also apologize in advance if some of the wording is off. This was written at almost 1 am while I was forcing myself to stay awake so I may have gotten a lot of disoriented.

"Hi, just wondering could you do a Felix imagine for your Once Upon A Time story please? He's one of my favourite characters but no one really does any imagines for him, so I was just wondering if you could do one."

When you first came to Neverland, you were uncertain how you felt about being the only girl on the island. You surely expected the boys to treat you like some weakling, or worse - their mother. But as you got to know them, you grew to love them as a hundred more little brothers than you ever wanted. You were their mother, in a way. You became the cook of the island, and you cared for the boys when they were hurt or sick. Sure, magic and belief could cure most of their ailments, but good old fashioned love had its power too. When Pan was being particularly hard on them, you would be there to damage their wounds and feed them and lift their spirits. You also helped in training. Having spent a good portion of your life as a pirate, you were rather skilled with a sword, and you trained the boys in fighting such a strength.

You grew to love being the only girl on the island. So when Pan announced that new children had arrived, and a teenage girl in a nightgown emerged from the woods, you were understandably concerned.

"This is Wendy," Pan had introduced. "She's our new lost girl."

Well, that title made you hate her already. You were supposed to be the only lost girl on the island - What the hell was Pan up to? You had never been particularly friendly with the leader, so you assumed that asking what his psychotic intentions were would lead you nowhere. So you smiled through your immediate hatred of the girl and let her go about her business.

Since day one, you had bonded with Pan's second in command. When you had been deposited on Neverland, Pan had wanted to test your skills. You were forced into a one-on-one match with Felix, which ultimately ended up with you straddling his lap, your sword to his throat and his beloved dagger knocked out of reach.

Pan approved and let you stay, and from them on, Felix was your best friend. It never grew into anything more, and fearing a rejection (or worse, a lack of recognition), you kept your feelings to yourself. Feelings got you in trouble on Neverland.

You were gathering firewood for the camp the night after Wendy came to Neverland. Normally you'd send one of the boys, but they had hunted quite a deal of food for dinner and were now dancing around to Pan's pipe, so you let them have their fun.

As you returned to the campsite, you happened to glance to the left, and the sight that met you had your arms going limp and dropping your logs all over the ground. Wendy's scrawny arms were wrapped around Felix's neck and she was smashing her lips to his. You couldn't tell if he was into it, and you didn't stick around to find out. You turned on your heel and headed into the woods.

Felix finally managed to push Wendy away, angrily wiping his mouth with his sleeve. He glared at her before turning to the bonfire, expecting to see you cooking. A frown formed on his lips when you weren't there, and he could hear rustling in the leaves nearby. It didn't take long for him to register that you had seen the kiss and stormed off.

But why had you stormed off?

He called for you, but Wendy was on him again, holding his face and trying to get his attention.

You stomped through the woods, hacking and slicing tree limbs with your sword. It was a good way to vent your anger, and the forest would survive with a few less branches than before.

"Hello lass," a deep voice called from the side. A figure emerged from the shadows and you found yourself facing Captain Hook.

"What do you want?" you growled.

He chuckled. "Hell hath no fury. I've come back for you love."

"Well I don't want to come back," you snarled. You had been part of Hook's crew the last time he invaded Neverland. His only way off the island was to offer you as a trade, and he happily let you go.

"Too bad, love," Hook smirked. He blew dust on you and everything went black.

"Where's (y/n)?" Felix asked when you didn't return. "She was in the middle of making dinner and she disappeared."

"Why do you care?" Wendy demanded. "She's not important."

"Something she saw ticked her off," Pan smirked. "She'll come back."

Before Felix could reply, two of the older boys came running to camp.

"Pirates!" they yelled. "They took (y/n)!"

That was all Felix needed to hear. He shoved Wendy away, dragged his dagger, and headed into the woods.

Within moments, the pirates were surrounded by lost boys, including Felix and Pan.

Hook smirked. "Come to save your lost girl? Has Pan gone soft?"

"Where is she?" Felix demanded.

Hook raised a brow. "So it's not Pan that has the soft spot for my pirate."

"She isn't your pirate," Felix argued. "Not anymore."

Hook gestured towards his ship, and two men came out, dragging your unconscious body between them. They dropped you less than gently on the ground just as you began to stir.

"What the hell..." You looked around, noting the lost boys standing before you in fighting stances. You wiggled your hands only to find them bound behind your back.

"Tell me," Hook mused. "Why is she so important to you?"

You looked up at him in confusion. What was he playing at?

"I mean, you've clearly replaced her." His hook gleaned in the moonlight as he aimed it at Wendy. "Why does Neverland need two mothers?"

"Wendy will never be the mother of Neverland," Felix mumbled, earning a scoff from Wendy and a smirk from Pan.

"What is it, then?" Hook pressed. Pan turned to face his second in command, intrigued to hear the answer as well. All Felix could do was glare at the pirate before looking down at his shoes.

"By the gods," Hook snickered. "You're in love with her, aren't you?"

Your head snapped up to look at him in shock before you turned your attention to Felix. Your brows furrowed and you found yourself desperate to know the answer that he didn't seem ready to provide.

Pan sent his boys after Hook, and being outnumbered dampened his fighting ability. With the Captain distracted, Felix rushed down and untied your hands, leading you away from the fight.

"Take Wendy instead!" Felix yelled to the pirates as he took you back to camp.

"Shouldn't we help fight?" you asked, looking behind you.

"They can handle a few pirates," the scarred boy replied. "I think you and I should talk."

You nodded. "Was Hook right?"

He hesitated before blowing out a breath. "Yes."

Hope flooded your heart. "So... You and Wendy...?"

"She's been forcing herself on me since she got here," Felix explained, and you could hear the disgust in his voice. "She's probably upset that Pan isn't giving her any attention so she moved to me."

"I just thought... I mean she's pretty, I guess..."

A warm hand cupped your chin, keeping your gaze on the boy before you. "The only one I want to kiss is you."

"Why don't you, then?"

He grinned, tilting his head and leading in. You met him halfway, standing on your toes and closing your eyes.

"I still want to smash her face into a rock," you murmured as you parted for air.

He let out a laugh. "Let's go see if we can help that, yeah?"

You followed him back into the fight, "accidentally" pushing Wendy into a tree as you pulled out your sword.
