The sun shining through his window woke Henry up. "I'm supposed to be at School" He yelled, jumping up and running to his clock. "I'm almost an hour late" He gasped. He quickly stripped off his shirt and pants.

"Good morning Henry" Peter chuckled from under the bed. Henry jumped two feet in the air squealing.

"Pan" Henry gasp, holding his chest. It only took two seconds for his entire body to go red and realize he was only wearing his boxer-briefs. He grabbed his pants and covered his lower half. Peter chuckled.

"Nothing I haven't seen before" Peter chuckled.

"What" Henry squeaked?

"I stole your close to trick your family remember?" Peter chuckled. "The good old days."

"I d-dint think about that you saw…" Henry's cheeks darkened even more. He quickly put on a new pair of jeans and T-shirt.

"I'm not an expert of what you do here in Storybrook but I'm pretty sure you're supposed to change your underwear too.

"Shut up" Henry hissed. "I'm late already. Just stay there." Henry grabbed his bag and rushed down the stairs he grabbed the pulled on the front door but it didn't open. He tried again but it didn't budge.

"School's been canceled for further notice" is mother called from her office.

"What! Why?" Henry asked, entering her office.

"Parents don't want their kids leaving their house when there's an evil demon that is known to kidnap kids wandering around the city.

"But how am I supposed to see my friends when all these spells are up?" Henry asked, a hint of anger touching his voice.

"Pan is out there. Last time he kidnaped you and tried to sacrifice you to keep his immortality. Even if there was school I wouldn't let you out." She said.

"I'm going back to my room" He grumbled. "I want to be left alone." He did his best not to look too happy. His mother would be suspicious if he was jumping for joy to spend his entire day in his room. He couldn't have her looking under his bed. Henry slumped up the stairs and shut his door louder than needed.

"You seem disappointed not to go to school" Pan said pulling himself out from under the bed.

"You never changed clothes" Henry realized.

"I didn't have much time" Peter chuckled wryly.

"Here you go, I guess" Henry said holding out the bag filled with clothes. Peter looked in rummaging to pick out a shirt and pants.

"No underwear" he joked.

"Shut up" Henry chuckled. Henry turned to go but Peter pulled off his shirt. Henry froze, staring at his surprisingly big muscles for how skinny he was. He skin was still gray but he still found himself unable to look away.

"You like what you see" Pan chuckled, buttoning up his shirt.

"No" Henry said immediately. Peter rose his eyebrow. Henry groaned internally. Why did he have to do that? Did he know how hot he looked when did those things with his eyebrows?

"If you say so" Peter smirked. This time Henry looked away before Pan slipped out of his pants. "You can look now" The boy said with amusement. Henry reluctantly turned around to see Peter sprawled out on his bed wearing the exact outfit he had stolen from him in Neverland.

"You still look sick" Henry mumbled.

"Still can't use magic" He said, putting his hands under his head, trying to look casual but Henry could see the anger welling up inside. Henry fell silent and ran his fingers through his hair. "What" Peter asked?

"Huh?"

"You want to ask me something." Peter said. "Ask"

"It's nothing" Henry said.

"I know what it is. Just ask."

"What are you going to do once you get your magic back" Henry asked?

"Truth?" Peter asked. Henry nodded. "I don't know if I'm even going to get my magic back." Henry sat down at the foot of the bed.

"Because you died?" Henry asked.

"Because I lost my shadow" Pan corrected.

"You lost your shadow?" Henry asked. "But I thought you could call it back. Mr. Gold's shadow brought the dagger to him when he… killed you." Pan frowned.

"I'm different than my son. I lost my true shadow many years ago. When I came to Neverland the shadow was the protector and guardian of the island. When I chose to live there we became one, so to speak. He took the place of my shadow. I didn't have magic before I had the shadow. My magic came from Neverland itself."

"I'm sorry" Henry said. "It must be hard to lose a part of yourself like that. Pan gave him an odd look before smirking again.

"You never sees to amaze me Henry Mills" Pan said, his face expressionless.

"What?" Henry asked.

"I did terrible things to you and the ones you love. You and your family almost died because of me. And yet here you are, helping me, hiding me from your mother."

"I guess I just see some good in you" Henry said.

"That is unexpected" Pan said softly.

"You saved my life" Henry told him, unconsciously scooting closer to him.

"Yes I did" Pan said, sounding more like he was thinking aloud.

"You were sick. I saw you after you saved me. You looked like death. If you risked your life to save me then there must be good in you, even if it's deep down.

"You influence people very well" Pan said. "You can change almost anyone to good like your mother and my lost boys. You brought together lifelong enemies, making them do more than just work together, but to actually care about each other."

` "That wasn't me" Henry said. "I didn't make them do anything."

"You underestimate yourself" Pan smiled. "There is a reason you're the truest believer. Unfortunately I have no good left in me. You're too late."

"No Henry said sternly. "I believe in you. I believe you can be good. Now it's your turn to believe in me."

"I've never doubted you." Pan told him. Henry gasped when he realized he'd somehow lay down next to pan. They were so close. How hadn't noticed. He tried to sit.

"No" Pan said softly. "Stay." Henry nodded slowly. "Just tell me one thing" Peter continued. "Do you believe I can love?" He asked.

"Everyone can love" henry whispered, too distracted to realize what was happening. Pan slowly closed the distance between their lips kissing him lightly. Henry froze. Pan quickly pulled away.

"I'm sorry" Peter said, surprising both of them.

"I though Lost boys didn't apologies." Henry said in a whisper.

"Then I must be more than a lost boy." He said.

"And it's ok" Henry said, smirking. "Because I'm not sorry for this." He took Pans Cheek and pulled him in for a second kiss. It didn't last long but it was all they needed.
