Devin felt Henry pull away. His eyes stayed close and he could still feel a tingle on his lips. "Ummm" Henry muttered, staring at the lost boy. Devin opened his eyes. Henry's cheeks were flush and his eyes darted everywhere but at him.

"You kissed me" Devin whispered.

"Yea" Henry breathed, finding the grainy sand very interesting.

"Why?" Devin asked. It was the only thing he could think to say. His brain was buzzing and his heart pounded like he had run for hours.

"Because I wanted to?" Henry said, but it sounded more like a question.

"Did you?" Devin asked, sensing the fear in Henry. Henry had stayed strong through all of this. Not once since he had been kidnapped had Devin ever seen Henry afraid. Actually Henry was stronger than any boy he'd ever met before. And he did it all while still wearing his heart on his sleeve. Maybe Pan and the lost boys were wrong. Maybe showing emotion wasn't weakness.

"Are you mad?" Henry asked. Devin shook his head. He had never kissed anyone before, girl or guy but he knew it should not have felt that good. Even just a peck on the lips had changed Devin's entire view on the world. There was an explanation but Devin didn't like it. Henry glanced up at the lost boy who was deep in thought. "What's wrong?" Henry asked, sounding hurt.

"Did you feel anything?" He finally breathed out. He barely hid the hope and fear. Henry didn't answer. "Did you like it?" He added after the silence.

"Yea" Henry nodded.

"Did you feel anything… special?" Devin asked.

"Did you?" Henry countered. The boys stared into each other's eyes. Henry felt lost. Even now, staring into those beautiful green eyes He felt like everything had shifted. That kiss, he hadn't known where it'd come from. He had felt weird around Devin since the beginning and hurting him felt like a terrible betrayal but that kiss… that kiss was more than anything he'd ever imagined. It wasn't like kissing Lilly back home. It wasn't even like kissing drake. It was so much more. Henry needed to know if the lost boy had felt it too.

"I did" Devin said, fearfully.

"Me too" Henry admitted just as tentatively.

"It felt like I was Happy, really happy, for the first time in my life." Devin breathed out.

"Me too" Henry replied. Kissing Devin had made him realize something. When all that joy and love had erupted in him he realized that he really was lost. Back in Storybrook he wasn't as happy as he had wanted to believe. His mother's fought over him and it hurt. Sometimes it felt like he was a possession. He had few friends at school. No one understood him. No one realized how broken he was. And now Henry knew not even he realized the extent of that break. "I never felt that kissing anyone" Henry admitted.

"I don't think people normally have such strong reactions" Devin agreed. "You don't think…?"

"True love?" Henry answered. Devin nodded. "I don't know." Devin's body froze up. "What?" Henry asked.

"Pan knows everything that goes on, on Neverland" Devin whispered.

"Is he going to be angry?" Henry asked. Devin stood suddenly, dragging Henry with him. "Devin what's going on?"

"Henry listen to me" Devin said seriously. He held Henry by the arms, crushing into the soft skin. "Pan is lying. You're here for him to save himself. I don't know what's actually going to happen but I know that you won't survive the process."

"He said I was here to save magic" Henry gasped. He began to shake in the tight grasp.

"Henry I need to get you out of here" Devin hissed. "I pray to the gods that Pan hasn't been listening in. If he wasn't then you have a chance to escape."

"And if he was?" Henry interrupted. Devin paused, face going dark.

"Then I die and he'll stop pretending." Devin hissed. He was going to die. Pan was going to kill him. After all these years he should have suspected it. He had never fully trusted Pan. And that trust began to slip when Henry stepped onto the island. Now Devin understood why he was against Henry's death. Somehow the fates had given him a true love, the only person in the world he couldn't have.

"You're not going to die!" Henry growled. "I won't let you." Emotions pumped through both their bodies. That attraction that they had been subconsciously fighting broke free. There was another person in the world who they loved and neither wanted to see the other get hurt, not in any way shape or form.

"We need to go back to camp" Devin said quietly. "They'll notice that we're gone."

"But what will happen?" Henry asked. Devin's eyes glowed. Henry could see the stars reflecting in the green pools.

"I'm getting your family here even if I die trying." Devin said with such passion that Henry couldn't say anything against it. "Time to go." Henry reluctantly nodded. "Go first. I'll wrap around and come in a few minutes."

"Ok… just…. Be careful" Henry whispered. They stood looking at each other.

"I will" Devin replied before lowering his mouth to press against the other boy's. The kiss sparked just as strong as the first and even though Devin wanted it to last forever he knew they had to hurry. Letting his lips slip away Devin sighed. "Now go." He watched as Henry rushed into the trees. Devin only hoped they weren't being watched.
