Pan laughed as he appeared in camp. It felt good to threaten his son. Little Rumple thought himself so big and powerful. He was nothing, nothing compared to the great Peter Pan. And he was going to prove it by making Rumple watch as he killed each and every one of his pathetic family. He smirked, glancing around his boys. Most were playing swords in one corner of the camp. He wasn't looking for them. He was looking for someone far more important. He kept scanning. A few boys sat together laughing and a few were hanging upside down from trees but there was still no Henry.

Something was wrong! It had to be. Henry left camp! He was sure the kid had been fooled into thinking he was here to save magic. He was too noble to run away. "Where is Henry" Pan shouted. All the boys leapt up. Eyes shot around the camp.

"I'm right here" Henry called, sounding annoyed. He stepped out of the forest, approaching the seething daemon.

"Where were you" Pan hissed, stalking up to the boy. "You shouldn't have left camp! You could have gotten hurt. WHAT WERE YOU THIKING?" Henry's looked down, blushing. Internally he was congratulating himself on his acting skill. He muttered something too soft for Pan to here.

"What did you say" Pan asked, regaining his composure but still looking angry.

"You don't have bathrooms in Neverland" He repeated louder. A few boys close by laughed. Pan sighed.

"Fine but don't go far next time and take a lost boy with you."

"I'm not having anyone watching me when I go to the bathroom" Henry replied. "I can take care of myself."

"Fine" Peter sighed knowing henry did have a point. Plus he needed the boy to trust him. Yelling wouldn't help that. Henry nodded and turned his back to Pan. He walked away at a slow pace. HE couldn't run. Pan couldn't know he knew the truth.

Pan sat down at the fire and watched his truest believer sit against a tree far from the other boys. He growled to himself. Henry had finally interacted with the boys and Devin ruined it. He'd have to punish him. He knew how important Henry was. He shouldn't have attacked him. Pan reached out his mind searching for the boy in question. He was about half a mile away to the east heading toward camp. Pan could either make an example of him and punish him in front of the boys or intercept him before he made it to camp. If he made an example of him then Henry would see and that could have negative consequences. He'd have to intercept him.

None of the boys paid Pan any mind as he vanished into thin air, at least none but one. Henry had been watching the teenager from the corner of his eye. He was waiting for the moment Pan revealed that he knew the truth but it didn't come. Either he didn't know or was playing another game. Henry couldn't rule out the second. Pan was smart and patient. He could wait and use information when most needed.

Henry paused at another thought. Or this had all been a trick. Devin was just another of Pan's games. But that didn't make any sense. Plus his mother had Devin's heart. His stomach churned at that thought. Devin was missing his heart. From what he'd learned from his story book it was a terrible experience. When this was all over Henry would make sure Devin got his heart back.

"Deep thoughts are dangerous things" A voice behind henry stated. Henry jump, whirling around.

"Felix" Henry gasped. "Don't sneak up on me like that!"

"What were you thinking about?" Felix asked, leaning his shoulder against the tree Henry had been laying against.

"Nothing" Henry said immediately. It didn't even sound convincing to him.

"I don't believe that" Felix smirked. Henry's mind began to work overtime. Felix was almost as good as Peter when it came to reading emotions. Lying would be close to impossible. "So tell me Henry, what has you so worried?" Felix asked. It sounded like an innocent enough question but Henry knew it was the farthest thing from innocent. Felix was making sure Henry was still on their side. "Henry?" Felix asked again, raising an eyebrow. If Henry couldn't lie then he'd have to tell the truth… But that didn't mean he'd have to tell the whole truth. He just needed something to explain any further odd behavior. And he knew just the thing.

"Can I ask you something?" Henry said in almost a whisper. Felix nodded. "And you won't tell anyone even Pan?" Henry knew Felix would tell pan either way. He just needed it to sound convincing.

"I promise" Felix said. "You can trust me." Henry was glad he was able to hold back his sneer.

"Is it…. Is it…" Henry looked away, turning his back to Felix.

"Henry?" Felix asked more kindly. The lost boy placed a hand on Henry's shoulder. Henry hugged his arms close to his chest.

"Is it wrong…. To like another boy?" he whispered. Henry felt the shock stiffen the hand on his shoulder. Henry could have laughed so hard. This was working. An awkward topic often kept extra questions away.

"Why? Do you like someone?" Felix asked, removing his hand. Henry covered his mouth has if trying to hold back tears. It was actually to hide the smile he was unable to stop. He gave such a tiny nod that he wasn't sure if Felix saw.

"Who?" Felix asked, still sounding sympathetic.

"I can't tell you" Henry blurted out. He jumped, turning his head in all directions as if to make sure no one had heard.

"Henry I promise I won't tell" Felix said. Henry blushed.

"Really?" He asked.

"It isn't me is it?" Felix asked, face giving a strained smile.

"No don't worry" Henry chuckled.

"It's…. It's Devin." Henry stuttered. Felix ether couldn't hold back his surprise or did a good job faking.

"Devin?"

"You can't tell anyone!" Henry hissed.

"I won't don't worry" Felix promised in a calming voice. "There's something else isn't there" he said. Henry cursed Felix's good observation. Maybe he could actually use this as an advantage.

"There's someone else" Henry nodded. "But it's not like with Devin. I'm just really….. Sexually attracted to him" Henry blushed at the last part. Unfortunately it wasn't a complete lie. It was one thing that Henry felt very guilty about.

"Who?" Felix asked. Henry began to shake, fear perfectly faked on his face. "Henry it's ok" Felix said, grabbing the younger boy's shoulder. "You don't have to tell me."

"It's Pan!" Henry blurted out. If Felix had been shocked at Devin he was ten times as shocked at this. Henry internally smiled. This was shocking enough to distract him from the truth.

"I… I won't tell anyone" Felix promised. Henry nodded, still shaking.

"You never answered my question" Henry whispered.

"What question?"

"Is it ok to like another boy?" Henry whispered, curling in on himself.

"Yes" Felix said, looking Henry in the eyes. "It's perfectly fine." Henry let out a sigh of relief. His shoulders relaxed and his eyes grew soft.

"Thank you" Henry said, smiling a tiny smile. "But… can I please be alone for… a little bit?" Henry asked softly.

"Of course" Felix smiled. "I'll be here if you ever need to talk" He smiled.

"Thank you" Henry replied. Felix smiled once more before walking away most likely to find Pan. Henry closed his eyes. He'd have to continue these fake emotions for a few more minutes just in case they were being watched.
