Chapter Four: Need You

Gray. It was all I saw staring out Pan's dirty window. The boy hadn't stopped staring at me since I had kissed him. Understandable I suppose.

" I…" He trailed off and focused on the grungy tile. He had been doing that for the past few hours, and though it was cute at first, it was now getting on my nerves.

" Pan what is it that you want to say? I only have so much patience." I sounded exasperated, even to myself.

" Why did you do that?"

I shrugged. " I told you already. It's your choice to believe me or not."

" I'm slowly remembering things…You were never like this, nice I mean."

I sighed and locked eyes with Peter. " People change, especially with a catalyst as large as mine. You left me in that crocodile to die, it was than that I realized I needed you. Without you I am nothing."

Peter's eyes went wide. " That's not true!" I eyed him. " I know you couldn't fly, yet you came her from this Neverland to find me! That makes you something!"

I couldn't believe what he was saying, or even if I understood what he was saying. " What do you mean?"

He flushed and picked at his fingers. " Truthfully I don't know. The only one to ever kiss me was Wendy, and she betrayed me."

" I will never betray you! I did not go through hell to do that to you! I care too much about you!" I grabbed the boy's shoulders and smiled. " Neither Tink nor I will leave you."

His hands fisted in my shirt and he pulled me forward. His lips were warm, soft and unreliably perfect. His cheeks were flushed a light pink and he looked absolutely delectable. " I'm sorry."

" Why are you apologizing." I smiled and touched his cheek. " For something I enjoyed so much."

He smiled and ducked his head. " I…thanks." I pulled him in for a hug and nuzzled his neck. " I think I'm ready to go back. I may not need Neverland, but, I think I need you. Why else would I of had those dreams?"

" The same reason I was wandering a dead Neverland for years, trying to find you. The same reason I learned to fly. Because we need each other. I may be evil, but I'm not blind, I know when I need something, and Pan, I need you."

Peter's eyes were downcast. " You aren't evil. You may have been, but you aren't now. You aren't able to be. Hook…"

My eyes went wide. It seemed like it was the first time he had said my name. I wonder what my name would sound like when he is in the midst of euphoria, though I doubt we will progress to that level. It's a nice thought though. " What?"

" Thank you."

I ran a finger along the edge of his jaw. " For what."

" For coming for me."

I smiled, " Peter, I assure you, I will never leave, short of being horribly murdered." His eyes went wide. " Than I shall have to haunt you." Tink, who was much better, landed on my shoulder and grinned.

" Peter! I'm glad you're kind of back. Even if you don't remember everything." She flew to him and hugged his neck. " You probably could have chosen someone better but…" she said, chuckling softly.

" Horrible fairy." I muttered, pushing her off Pan's shoulder.

She floated upwards, hands on her hips. " Okay, so he's not that bad. He did spend years looking for you and all."

Peter smiled. " How…How do we go back to Neverland?"

I shrugged. " Think happy thoughts, it's how I got to London, and if I can do it, anyone can." He ducked his head and flushed. " I am an evil pirate."

" Ex evil pirate." Tink corrected. " Now…I…I don't know what you are. You're James Hook I suppose. James Hook, savior of Peter Pan." She turned to Pan. "And you are Peter Pan, savior of Hook, Tinker Bell, and Neverland!"

" That's a rather complicated title." Peter mumbled, collapsing on the worn couch.

I sat next to him and threw my arm over his shoulder. " It is, but, you're worth the complication."

He blushed and grinned. " So happy thoughts eh? This'll be interesting."
