Shooting stars
Request: Hi! Can you please do something fluffy with Felix? Like maybe stargazing and playing with his hair or something. xx :)
A/N: It's short but I hope you like it. I feel like there could be a second part if someone wants. Enjoy!
_____________________________________________
Everyone had his duties on Neverland, even Felix. It did not matter if the boys liked them or not, with Pan as their leader, they all had to comply. It was not like the second in command loved what he was commanded with, but never had he spoken up to his leader- not until this very day.
"This is idiotic!" Felix screamed out in full rage, his face turned deep scarlet. "Why me?"
"Because your leader commanded you to." Peter replied unimpressed, not even facing his second in command.
"What about the younger boys?"
"They aren't old and responsible enough."
"Why don't you take care of her? It was not me who wanted to let them all stay here in the first place!"
Peter only glared at him in response, and Felix knew that this was nothing to argue about. Neverland was dangerous for every newcomer, but since the pirates roamed around, Pan considered it even more dangerous for the newly arrived girls. Felix gave his leader a defeated nod before he would leave his tent to find his new protege. The second in command would lie if he said he was not nervous about this. His first years on Neverland he had been teased for his looks, until Felix would start to show them all his cruel, violent side. Since then it was like there was no single person not being afraid, or at least intimidated of him. He did not want the same experience with any girl.
Usually the other boys would take care of them, show them around and basically told them what to do. It was no task for Felix, since he was already unbothered by the boys and avoided them, so why should it be any different with a girl?
"Y/N." He said out her name for the first time after hearing it from Pan, and deep inside he had to admit that he liked it. The girl sat on a barrel in front of the bonfire to warm her hands, and when she heard her name, she immediately spun her head around. Felix could read no emotions in her face, but after a short second she gave him a smile. Something so small and simple, but for a moment caught Felix off guard, and he just stared, being slightly amazed by it. No other girl had smiled at him without a reason. Recalling his memories, they actually never smiled at him at all. Understandable, taking his constant mood in consideration, he was easy to judge.
"Well, aren't you going to introduce yourself?" Y/N laughed at him, moving down onto a log bank. Felix did not know what to do, did she expect him to sit next to her? He was surprised by her kindness, hesitating a little, but then he complied and took a seat. "Felix," he answered the question without any eye contact. The boy could not tell why he suddenly felt so nervous to look at someone while he talked, or even cared about what he said.
"Felix." She repeated, and by just doing so, she already gave him goosebumps. "I like that name. It sounds pretty."
Two lost boys swayed uncomfortably close past them as they danced, almost stomping the girl on her foot. She gave them a poisonous glare, biting her lip as if she held herself back from saying something to them.
"You can't stand them already?" Felix joked with a grin, but deep inside he could relate to that reaction.
"They are just so…loud." Y/N complained with a theatrical sigh.
"We could go somewhere without them if you like?" Felix suggested, and she replied with an excited head nod. They both raised to their feet and Felix suddenly found himself almost twice as tall as her. If he had to spend time with a girl, he was glad that it could be without the young, partying boys around. At first glance she did not seem as annoying as he assumed to be, so he gave her a chance.
"I know a place."
The second in command led the girl out of the camp, along a broad path, straight down to the beach. The trees hid any source of light in the already dark night, so it should be no surprise to him that the girl grabbed for his arm, yet he could not stop wondering if she did not fear him in the slightest way. The boy kept silent. Once they reached the beach, he would finally get his sight back. He looked down to the girl, studying her features as she stared past him.
"I have never seen so many stars." The girl said, amazed with a look towards the sky.
"Wait until I show you the spot." Felix smiled, and when he thought about it, he could not recall when he smiled for the last time. What was wrong with him now? If the lost boys would see him like that, the teasing would never stop. The second in command needed to get his head together and figure out what was wrong with him quickly, before his behaviour would get even more odd. He led her along the shore until there was a massive pile of rocks. "Beware." The second in command warned as he climbed them up. Once on top, the girl's jaw dropped. It was high enough to look far enough over a big part of the ocean, reflecting the million stars from above in the unusually calm water. Each of them were glowing like golden diamonds on a black cloth.
"This is all I can offer." Felix laughed out nervously as he took a seat, opening his arms in a revealing gesture.
"Are you kidding me? This is way better than the boring camp!" Y/N responded with a voice that sounded like she was dreaming. Felix felt a warm bloodrush run through his cheeks at the sight of those glowing eyes. At this moment, they were more fascinating than any of those stars in the sky. When she sat down, the girl left no space between them two, grabbing for his arm again. Felix could not help but try to understand that weird feeling of having butterflies inside his stomach. He never felt like that before. It made him nervous to be around the girl, but he could not tell if in a good way or a bad one. All he knew was that she was the source of this feeling. He wanted to ask her what she was doing, but he feared that it would only make her stop, and if the lost boy was honest with himself, he had to admit that he liked the intimacy.
"Is this the place where you come to be alone?"
"Sort of." He smiled. "On Neverland you're never really alone."
"That sounds actually wholesome."
"No, I mean nobody leaves you the fuck alone. The lost boys are annoying creatures from hell."
The girl busted out laughing, but she understood that he was serious with what he said. Felix felt flattered to make her laugh with his vulgar language instead of scaring her off.
"But I like it here." Felix admitted. "It's not the most beautiful place on Neverland, but it's my favourite one."
He turned his head to face her, just to have the girl already staring at him with the warmest smile possible. She was pretty, he thought, and when he did, he immediately regretted it in an idiotic fear, that she might be possible to read his mind. If he stared back with an open mouth for any longer, that would probably not be necessary at all.
"Can I ask you about your scar?" She then asked out of the blue. "I mean, it's a story written all over your face, and I would love to hear it."
Felix did not know how to respond differently than with a quick nod. Why was it that he felt so comfortable suddenly? The way she described her interest was different from everyone who ever asked him- even Peter. He did not hesitate to tell her the story of how he fought captain hook with his mates, that he had been captured and was made to walk over the plank, but he fought back. Peter came to save his life, but Felix had been cut by the captain during the attempt to get from the plank back to the ship.
"That's all." Felix ended the story. "Sorry to disappoint you if you expected more."
"You do an awful lot of apologising for someone that is supposed to never do it at all." Y/N giggled and raised her eyebrows.
She was right, he did apologise a lot, also, lost boys never apologised. He just wanted to be polite. But why in the hell? She was the first pleasant person to be around except Peter in ages. He just had to befriend her.
At some point during the conversation he had leaned back and freed his arm to rest his hand on them. To his surprise, Y/N had placed her head on his chest real quick. His heart beat paced up until the boy feared it would jump out of his chest and walk over to her and hug her tightly. Having her laying right on his chest only increased the fear of having her hear it. Felix tried to push that thought aside immediately, trying to concentrate on anything else than the girl. Suddenly there was a bright shooting star flying over the night sky. Y/N shot her head up, then turned to Felix.
"Did you see that?" She shrieked out excitedly, her eyes widened and her mouth grinning. Felix loved that happy face of a girl he just met, and it made him go crazy inside. For a moment he felt the urge to grab her head and press his kiss onto hers, but fear overtook his body, holding him back like chains. The second in command had seen shooting stars before, but he could not believe his eyes when suddenly a dozen of them burned through the atmosphere. They both shared the same excitement towards the sky, and Y/N turned her head to the boy once more. Felix gave her a happy smile, opening his mouth to say something, when she suddenly leaned in. Felix held his breath, not knowing what to expect. He felt her breath on his lips as she closed the gap, and he closed his eyes, awaiting them on his lips, when suddenly he felt something warm and incredibly soft against his cheek. Felix opened his eyes again in the perfect moment to lock his with her, before she would place her head on his chest again, embracing him with one arm.
"Thanks for bringing me here." She mumbled against the cotton of his shirt, cuddling against him to watch the stars. "You should wish for something good," she then said, warming the lost boy's cold heart. He placed his hand on her head, and gently started to wipe over her hair, caressing her into sleep as if he was the safest place- and he probably was to her.
There was no need to make a wish for him.
