On his mun

[neverneverlandboy]

Perhaps you should be spend less time wondering what sort of affection I have for boys and start enjoying yourself. It's a party, even if all the chess pieces aren't on the board just yet. It's still a little while before the end game hits Mun. And that's when the fun really starts. Don't you know? 

While it is a shame that a certain pirate...found a new place to tie his anchor too. Old habits die hard and all that, just sit back and enjoy the ride.

I know I will.

[ things emma has gotten out of this: apparently pan and hook have talked more than she realized since they came to neverland, pan is a little creep, and that was at least, accidental or not, 20% homo in the lost boys' direction and she is instinctively protective of henry. ]

Maybe you should stop worrying about where Hook's putting his anchor and watch where you're dropping yours. You don't touch my kid.

[neverneverlandboy]

[ It's properly more about 50 percent homo in the lost boys directions. Since the total lack of girls. And yeah, what can he say? He likes Henry. Though, it's hard to say if it's in the homo way or the "no homo" way. Though that expression on Emma's face makes it too hard to fight the urge to mess with her.]

Well put Savior. Certainly since I'm not the one who should be worrying about Hook.

Henry likes my company.

[uncurse]

[ if the lost boys didn't get the big gay teenage orgy memo from peter shipping wendy back, they certainly do now. see emma. see emma belligerently dodge any question of who should really be worrying about hook. she's got this. ]

Yeah, and he couldn't possibly be playing you until we get a chance to find him, right?

In the five minutes you've known my son, you've stolen him away from his family, and had a couple kids kill two people. You're gonna have to do better than bonfires and lack of curfew to make him want to stay anywhere near you.

[neverneverlandboy]

[ Well, hey, he's yet to here a complaint. Even "Neal" enjoyed his time here. Remember? There's a little laugh at Emma totally dodging any clear responsibility for that kiss between her in hook. It was almost cute, in a way.]

Henry is a very special boy, Emma. More special than even you know but what he also is honest. He hasn't played me, he's not stupid.

See? We've been waiting a very long time for him Emma. Two people who I believe tortured his mother. Well, his other mother.

You should see him, a huge smile on his face. He even joined in the dance the other day, he heard my song. Only lost boys hear that. The ones who'd been abandoned and lost all hope.

[uncurse]

Things change. He might have lost hope, that doesn't mean it can't be found. Henry knows we're coming for him. So, you can keep spinning this, and trying to manipulate him, but it won't work. He isn't lost.

[neverneverlandboy]

Tell me Emma. How long was it before you knew no one was coming for you?

[uncurse]

[ as nice as it would be for emma's stubbornness to copy over into her internal monologue as well as what she's willing to show, it doesn't. inside it's a big ball of insecurity and self-doubt just waiting to boil over. and today, it's reminding her that she spent two years in tallahassee, waiting for neal to come back. to apologize, to explain himself. two years to admit to herself that he'd conned her into taking his rap, to admit he was never coming back. well, it's not taking her two years this time to admit that gone is gone. ]

You first.

Peter Pan, right? So, what, you think you're the first kid who ever had his parents abandon him? You think that justifies kidnapping other kids, because the thought of being alone, well that just burns you up, doesn't it? Well, newsflash, kid - the answer isn't to make everyone else feel as crappy as you do, because that doesn't fix anything.

[neverneverlandboy]

[ Really, he does'nt need her to admit it. After all, the simple fact she figured out the map already proved Emma had deeper wounds then she let on. There's a little tilt of his head as if those words got to him for a moment before he simply laughs at her, shaking his head as he teleports behind her.]

You should stop talking about things as if you've had any idea what you're talking about Swan. Though, if you're words are true. I'm hardly the only one who hates being alone. Neal or Baelfire, whatever name you want to call him. Hook. That pathetic sheriff. You sing your own song, a pied piper all on your own.

Henry is just one more heart for you to break.

[uncurse]

That's the spin you're gonna try and put on this?

[ there's one thing emma isn't going to allow herself to feel responsible for. she doesn't turn around, doesn't give him the satisfaction of seeing her startled response at his move, but keeps her tone flat and disbelieving.

graham wasn't her fault. graham was taken from her, by regina, like too many other things - but right now, it doesn't matter. right now, regina is helping her get their son back, and that means packing all the shit in their past behind her.

neal wasn't her fault. neal chose to leave, he's the one who'd abandoned her. twice, now. and she's far too pissed off about it to let her insecurity creep back in. she'd spent too much time mired in insecurity and self-pity over what had happened, thinking he'd never loved her, thinking she'd done something wrong. she hadn't. they'd been in love. and now it was over.

but hook ... this one, she still has the chance to fuck up. she'd almost done it on the beanstalk, but he was persistent enough that it wasn't quite enough. given enough time, though, the damage is bound to come out. those walls are bound to push him away for good, just like mary margaret had warned her about. hell, with enough time, maybe they would have pushed neal and graham away, too. ]

This is what you're going with. That I'm some serial man-eater who lures guys in to break their hearts. [ the same guy who'd worsened the abandonment issues that he was also trying to play on. funny, that. ] Come on, Pan, you can do better than that.

[neverneverlandboy]

Oh. I never said you lured them in to break their hearts. That's just side effect. [ Don't mind him, he's just flicking his eyes up and down here as he clicks his tongue a little. ] We both know that underneath it all you're still that lost little orphan trying so hard to hold onto something. Anything. You put up walls to keep them out. To keep everyone out. Because you don't want to have to rely on anyone that might disappoint you. And every time you do let them in...

[ There's a pause at that as Pan smirks.]

Well we know what happens, don't we?

You know you would have been the rare exception to my lost boys. It rolls off you in waves..even with those walls around you. A song of lost hope.

[uncurse]

You're barking up the wrong family tree, buddy. 'Cause this one's chalk full of hope - and I may be fresh out, but you know what I do have? I've got a reason. A reason to find you, and take my son back. [ you don't steal things from an orphan, pan. they cling to what little they have, and henry is approximately all emma has. ] Way I see it, you can either be hopeful, or stubborn, and I've got the second one in spades.

[undark]

So you found him? The boy you've been looking for.

[neverneverlandboy]

[ Well, that might actually give him a moments pause. Since, it's been a while since he has seen you quite like this Baelfire. His expression softens somewhat.]

I did. He came to us in an unusual way Baelfire but we found him. He's one of us now.

It's good to see you like this again. [ Because, hey, older Baelfire was somewhat less fun.]

[undark]

[All boys grow up, save one.]

What does that mean for you? [Since he doesn't exactly trust Peter.]

[neverneverlandboy]

[ And that's a curse even if Pan never wants to admit it. He was lonely. It was part of the reason he'd made the lost boys in the first place.]

That is something that remains to be seen. [ Hey, it's not like he trusts you much either. Your love is currently trying to take her son back. ] ...You know I let you go for a reason.

[undark]

I left. I got out. [That's all that matters.]

[neverneverlandboy]

You certainly did leave. [ Was that hurt in his voice? Peter just clicked his tongue a once or twice.]

No harm done.

[undark]

You're not my family. I only came because of Wendy.

[neverneverlandboy]

[ There's a smile at that though, it's a bit forced.] Never doubted it for a moment.

[undark]

You didn't get her brothers. Magic didn't destroy their family. [That's all that matters.]

[neverneverlandboy]

You know that for a fact? [ Sure buddy. That's all that matters.]

[ohdarling]

Weighing anchor is the very least interesting thing a pirate might do, I daresay.

[neverneverlandboy]

I most things what pirates do less than interesting. Unless they're in my employ.
