Felix woke the next morning laying on his stomach, feeling a weight laying on his back and a hand entwined with his. He smiled to himself when he realised that the weight was Sophia and that the hand was hers. He lifted his head to look at the clock on her nightstand. 6:30 it read, half an hours before the alarm would go off. Felix closed his eyes again, letting his head rest on the pillow while pulling the comforters, that had slid down while sleeping, over them again. He squeezed her hand and buried his face in the pillow with her sent. Waking up like this was heaven.
Sophia stirred a bit, grabbing his hand tighter and burring her face in his back before sighing through her nose and relaxing. He loved this, having her against him, close to him. When she was close to him he felt whole, not just the empty soul he felt for hundredths of years, but a whole one. He loves her, he really does. Every part of her, her magic, her talents, her pointy ears, her strengths but also her weaknesses, he loves it. When he told her he was scared that it was too soon, that he scared her away and that she would never be coming back, but that didn't happen. Instead she told him she loves him.
Sophia loves him. If there was one thing that he believed he would never have, it was love, and now he has it. Not just from anybody, but from the only person he wants it from; Sophia.
His mind began to drift off. Sophia's warm body pressed against his back and her hand clasped in his made him sleepy and soon he was asleep again, dreaming of the angle that saved him in so many ways.
Half an hour later though, he was woken by the annoying sound of that stupid alarm. He groaned into his pillow and felt Sophia's hand slip out of his to push the snooze button on the clock.
"Morning," she mumbled into his back, her voice still thick from sleep.
"Sleep well?" he asked her, looking over his shoulder. She smiled softly at him with her sleepy eyes.
"Never better," she answered. "your back is quite comfortable, you make a good pillow."
"And you make a pretty warm blanket," he smirked back. Sophia let her cheek rest on his back again, tracing small patterns in the fabric of his shirt. "Can't we just skip school? Tell your parents that you're sick and stay in bed all day?"
Sophia laughed softly. "You would really like that, wouldn't you?"
"Is that a yes?" Felix asked hopeful.
"No, but you can stay here and I'll just go to school."
"But the point of skipping school was so we could stay in bed, not just me."
"Am I really that good of a blanket?"
He smirked and grabbed both her arms, tugging them under him so that she was tightly pressed against his back, her face right next to his. "No one can have my blanket," he whispered in her ear.
Sophia tried to pull her arms back but couldn't free them from under him. After a few failed attempts she nuzzled her nose in his neck, showing her defeat. "How can I make you let me go?"
"The nuzzling doesn't help."
Sophia hummed. "Never mind."
"Hey Soph!" Violet called. Sophia and Felix turned their heads to look in the direction Violet was coming from. Sophia had convinced Felix not to skip school after she promised him that they would go out for ice cream after school. Yes, he wanted ice cream, sometimes he was really just a boy. "And Felix," Violet said and crossed her arms when she was beside them.
"Violet," Felix said dryly as a form of greeting.
"What is it, Vel?" Sophia asked, ignoring the way they Violet and Felix glared at each other.
Violet looked away from Felix and smiled at her friend. "Henry asked me out!"
"He did?" Sophia asked with wide eyes.
"Yes!"
Both girls squeaked in excitement while Felix just stood there.
"When? Where? How?"
"Is it okay if I just leave?" Felix asked, pointing over his shoulder. "Because I really don't care."
Sophia slapped his chest. "Be nice, you said you shipped them."
"You ship me and Henry?" Violet asked unbelieving. Felix groaned and pulled the hood of his hoodie over his head, glaring at Sophia from under it, but she saw that it was a half-hearted one.
"There is a think called secrets, ever heard of it?"
"Yeah Soph, I didn't need to know that."
"My family is very bad at keeping secrets, plus you never told me it was a secret," Sophia said in her defence.
"Guess I'm never telling you anything from now on," Felix grinned, pulling her closer to him.
"Guess we are not going to get ice cream after school," Sophia said with her own grin.
"What does ice cream have to do with this?"
"Everything."
"Stop the flirting already," Violet groaned, getting their attention.
Sophia huffed. "As if you're not going to annoy us with your flirting when you and Henry finally get together."
"Not really looking forward to that," Felix said. "I change my mind, I don't ship it."
"Sometimes I really hate you two."
"You never even liked me in the first place," Felix said and raised his eyebrow.
"True," Violet said and pulled out her phone from her pocked, tapping a few times on the screen before showing him a picture. "But you're really adorable here and you make my best friends happy, so I though I'll give you a chance."
Felix eyes widened when he saw the photo of him that Sophia took when he was pouting. "You send it to her?!" he almost screamed and looked at Sophia.
"Sorry?" she gave him her best puppy eye look and it worked to soften him just a bit.
"That's it, I'm deleting that photo."
He grabbed her phone out of her pocket and went straight to her gallery. She should put a password on it the next time. Sophia tried to grabbed her phone back but he held it out of her reach. Why does he has to be so freaking tall?
"And… delete," he said and handed her phone back. She quickly looked through her gallery but couldn't find the photo anywhere. She looked up at him, pouting.
"You really deleted it?" she asked in her most sad voice. Guilt flashed in his eyes when he looked at her, but it was only a mere second.
"Why do you even need a photo when you have the original?" he stepped closer to her, cupping her cheek and kissed her nose.
"Guys, I'm still here," Violet said annoyed.
"Can I kill her?" Felix groaned.
"This isn't Neverland, mister. You can't kill unless you know how to erase all the evidence."
"Wanna be my partner in crime?" he smirked.
Violet grabbed Sophia's arm, yanking her away from Felix and next to her. "She's already my partner in crime, find someone else."
"If you're gone I don't have to."
"I'm not going anywhere."
"You sure? I heard hell was nice this time of year."
"Why than don't go there yourself."
"Hades doesn't really like me, but I bet he would love you."
At that moment the bell announced that the first class of the day was about to begin. Sophia laughed at them and moved closer to Felix, placing a small kiss on his cheek.
"I'll see you at lunch," she said and Felix waved her goodbye when she walked to her class. She saw Violet stick out her tongue at Felix before following her. "Why do you guys hate each other so much?"
Violet shrugged. "We just don't match."
"Can you send me that photo," Sophia said with a smirk.
"Of course."
"Any news?" Pan asked bored when Caligo entered the treehouse. Peter had to admit, he missed Felix more that he thought he would. It was just so quiet without him grumbling about everything that was wrong with the world. Nothing was as fun as it once was without him. Peter just felt… alone.
"After school Sophia and Felix are going to get ice cream," Caligo said with the usual dark annoyed voice he always spoke with. Peter had gotten used to it by now.
"That's perfect," he said. "we can put something in his ice cream or put him under a spell or something, send some random girl over to him and make sure she flirts with him and that he flirts back right in front of Sophia."
"But we don't have a random girl."
"I'm sure we'll find one."
"I think I already know someone." When Peter looked at Caligo his eyes shone with mischief and a devilish grin spread across his face. Not good. "what's your dress size?"
"My dress si-" then it hit Peter why Caligo was looking at him like that. "Oh no, No no no no. I'm not dressing up like a girl, they'll recognise me."
"Not if I glamour your face."
"Can't you glamour my entire body so I don't need to wear a dress?"
"I can't glamour clothing." Caligo was having too much fun. "So what's your dress size?"
"Hello Sophia," said the woman behind the counter.
"Hey Ingrid," she greeted her. Ingrid was the aunt of Elsa and Anna who were close friends to her mother. Only now that she knew about the curse she noticed how young Ingrid was for someone with two adult nieces. Apparently the curse made people obvious to such things as age, too.
"Who's your friend?"
Again Felix kept his head low, hood over his head and not saying a word. Sophia nudged him with her elbow but he kept his head down.
Sophia sighed and smiled at Ingrid. "He's a bit shy." She ignored the look he gave her from under his hood. "I'll have my usual." She turned to look at Felix. "What do you want?"
He looked at the different flavours before looking at her. "What's your usual?"
"Chocolate chip cookie dough."
"I'll have that, too."
"Two chocolate chip cookie dough coming up." Ingrid moved behind the counter in a fluent motion. It didn't surprise Sophia that much, she did work here since the curse was set. She wondered if the fact that she owned a ice cream shop had something to do with her past.
Ingrid handed them their cone and Sophia was about to pay her but Felix placed his money on the counter first. She looked up at him surprised and he just smiled, taking her hand that didn't hold the cone.
Ingrid smiled at them and mouthed 'He's a keeper' at her.
'Shut up' she mouthed back and walked out of the ice cream shop.
Outside Felix spoke up, "Shy? Seriously?"
"What else did have expected me to say?"
"Anything but shy."
"Sorry that he's like this, he doesn't want to scare you. Is that better?" she teased him. He grinned back at her and she let her head rest against his shoulder, licking her ice cream. She lifted her head again and stopped them when he saw someone across the street that looked an awful lot like Caligo. He lifted his hand ever so slightly before disappearing in one of the alleys.
"What's wrong?" Felix asked, following her gaze.
"I thought I saw Caligo and…" Sophia suddenly felt something strange coming from Felix ice cream. She narrowed her eyes on it. "Don't eat that." He gave her a confused look but obeyed. She lifted her hand and held it close to his cone. Yep, that was magic. "He put a spell on your ice cream."
"Why would he do that?"
Before Sophia could answer a girl walked up to them. She had long brown hair, green eyes and wore a simple green dress. Something about the girl looked familiar, but Sophia just didn't know what. The girl completely ignored her and came to stand before Felix who looked just as confused as she did.
"Hi, I'm Pe-" the girl cleared her throat. "Pe-tro-nella, yes Petronella. And who are you, cutie?"
Felix look of surprise was worth gold, Sophia could barely keep back her laugh. "Sorry Petronella, he's taken." She leaned against him and grabbed his hand.
Petronella ignored her completely. "Come on, don't let a girl wait."
"Uhm… Felix," he said a bit awkward.
"Well, Felix," she swayed closer but it didn't look natural, like she was forcing it. "do you want to have a good time with me, hot stuff?"
When Petronella placed her hand on his chest Felix immediately shoved his ice cream into the girls face. His face turned from confused and awkward to annoyed, angry and disgusted. "Don't you dare touch me ever again," he growled.
Petronella stumbled back, wiping her face with her hand. "Told you it wouldn't work!" she, or more like a he, yelled at the alley Caligo disappeared in earlier.
"Peter?" Sophia said surprised before she burst out in laughter. Felix looked confused at her and she just pointed at Peter who was looking at them horrified. "He's wearing a dress." She waved her hand, undoing the glamour spell. When Felix saw that it was Peter in a dress he burst out in laughter, too. "Why are you wearing a dress?" Sophia laughed.
"Glamour spells don't do clothing," Peter said embarrassed and not sure what to do.
"Who told you that? Of course they do clothing." Sophia was only laughing harder now, winching as he stomach started to hurt from it. Felix wasn't doing any better.
"Caligo!" Peter screamed and stormed off.
After a while their laughter had calmed down and they started walking to her house again. "That was hilarious," Sophia said and licked her ice cream before handing it to Felix.
"I've known Pan for centuries but I have never seen him in a dress," Felix laughed and licked the ice cream. "it was a waste of pretty good ice cream, though."
"Felix, do you realise Peter was flirting with you, right?" Sophia said serious but amusement shone in her eyes. Felix eyes widened when he indeed realised that Peter was flirting with him.
"That's so wrong." Felix closed his eyes tightly and shook his head. "Just… wrong."
Sophia grabbed his hand with the cone, lowering it so that she could take a small bite. "Do I have to be worried?" she teased him.
He huffed and opened his eyes, looking down at her with a grin. "Definitely."
"Where are you, demon?!" Peter yelled as he walked into the alley. Caligo's low chuckled echoed through the alley. He appeared with his arms crossed from a dark corner.
"You know, I'm not even mad that we failed," Caligo said way to amused.
"I'm going to kill you," Peter growled.
"I'll like to see you try." Caligo tilted his head.
Rage was filling Peter from his toes to the tips of his ears. No one messes with Peter Pan, no one humiliates him without paying dearly. He only remembered parts of his past life, but now every memory rushed through his mind, Neverland, his son, his mission, everything. And most importantly, his magic.
Pan straitened himself and closed his eyes, focusing on his magic. When he opened his eyes again he was no longer in that hideous dress but in the clothing he always wore in Neverland. A smirk appeared in Pan's lips as he lifted his head to look at Caligo.
"Impressive," Caligo said dryly. "Took you a while."
"You knew?"
Caligo started pacing. "Of course I knew, I know everything about everyone."
"Then you how powerful I am," Pan said dangerously calm.
"I do," Caligo stopped and turned to look at him. "So don't try doing anything stupid like attacking me."
"Oh, attacking was farthest thing from my mind," Pan started pacing now, walking closer to Caligo. "You are quite powerful, maybe the most powerful of all the realms."
"I am," Caligo eyes him suspiciously.
"But you know what I learned on Neverland?" Pan was now standing before him. "Apparently you can trade more than just your son for youth." Caligo raised his brow. "You can also trade a deal for power."
Pan grabbed Caligo's neck with the hand that Caligo burned when they made the deal since it was the only spot that wasn't covered by clothing. Caligo screamed a unhuman noise and Pan felt the power rush through his veins. This felt good.
Pan released Caligo, letting him fall to the ground. "How dare you," Caligo growled and raised his hand, but nothing happened.
"Oh, did you want to do this?" Pan raised his hand, sending Caligo flying until he hit a wall. "Peter Pan never fails."
