You trudge your way to your room after a boring day at school, craving a change in your daily schedule of waking up, going to school, coming home, doing homework, and falling asleep. Maybe there wasn’t anything hard in your life; you had a home, food, shelter, but your life lacked independence, adventure, and you wanted to change that. You want more in your life, yet you don’t know where to find it; you just feel…lost.
You recline on your bed, attempting to organize the future, but it’s pointless; nothing comes up for hours.
Nighttime approaches, as the stars shine brightly with the moon through the curtains swaying over the open window. As you slowly drift to sleep, a soothing melody plays in the air, and though all you need is rest, curiosity takes over and you force yourself up, making your way downstairs towards the intriguing noise.
Exiting the front door, your footsteps echo, flowing with the soothing music.
When arrive at the source, a figure in red cloaks continues playing his flute, swaying to music with no one around him.
“Hello?” You state, wondering who the person could be; your heart beats faster with every step you take towards them, as if this is the thing you’ve been waiting for, as if this is what you need, what you’ve wanted your entire life.
“Hello, love.” The figure unveils his cloak, displaying his face, a boy who appeared to be only slightly older than you, “And who might you be?”
“My name is (Y/N), and you?”
“I’m Peter, Peter Pan.” He chuckles, examining you and the empty square.
“You play really well.” You compliment him, hoping the conversation will continue.
“You can hear my music?” He asks, his head tilting to side with curiosity, as if not expecting your remark.
“What if I told you that I could provide an escape for you, a place where you won’t feel lost anymore?” He instantly intrigues you. An escape from everything, the change that you wanted, it all sounds so amazing.
“What do you mean?” You question, attempting to figure out if this offer really is true.
“I can take you to Neverland, where you’ll feel loved. I can help you if you let me.” This is the one thing you’ve been waiting for, and for some reason, you trust the boy, as if there’s something inside of you that tells you to go for it. “I understand what you’re going through, and trust me; I can help you. I want to help you.” By the way that he stares at you, with compassion in his eyes, you can tell that he truly means well.
“And what if you can’t?” You ask, a small hint of doubt in your mind.
“How about a deal? Just give me one day, and if I can’t help you, then I’ll bring you back. Please, (Y/N), I want to make you feel loved.”
“Alright, I’ll go with you.” You finally admit that you want to go with him and give him a chance.
“Thank you, (Y/N). Now come here.” He takes a step towards you, grabbing your hand gently, leading you to an open area, where he pulls out a bean, clear as glass and glistening with magic.
“Hold on to me, please.” He states, meeting eyes with you, his grip on your hand increasing as he throws the bean on the ground, causing a green portal to emerge, swirling violently.
“Are you ready, love?” He looks for a nod of approval, which you give him, and the two of you jump in, the first step of your new adventures in Neverland.
Your eyes flutter open, your vision clearing up, revealing Peter with a worried look pressed on his face.
“Sorry, (Y/N), your first time through a portal is always rough.”
“No it’s fine…I’m fine.” You confirm to him, trying to calm him down.
“Good, because we have an adventure-filled day, and I don’t want you hurt before we even start.”
“Why are you helping me?”
“Because I want you to feel loved. I guess you could say it’s my job.” He chuckles.
“What do you mean?” You ask, wondering what he means.
“Do you know who can hear the music, (Y/N)? People who feel lost, people who feel unloved. I take them here, where I help them, but I can’t say I’ve ever had a girl hear the music.”
“Maybe I’m just special.” You smile at him, staring into his bright green eyes.
“That you are, love.” He stands up, lending out his hand to help you up, “Come on; let’s get started. I want to teach you how to fly.”
“Fly?” You question; it sounds amazing, but you never thought you would ever do it, you didn’t believe you could do it.
“Of course! Anything is possible in Neverland if you believe. Come, let’s go to the Pixie tree.”
The two of you walk together to the tree, getting to know each other even more as he explains the magic of Neverland and how he created it. Everything here sounds so fascinating and full of adventure, something that you didn’t have in your previous life. And slowly, you find yourself falling in love with the island.
“Here we are: the Pixie tree. Up there is where the fairies get their pixie dust. That’s what will help you fly.” The tree extends to the sky, appearing to touch the clouds above.
“So how do we get it?” You wonder, hoping you didn’t have climb up.
“Not to worry.” He holds his hand out, as a cloud of green surrounds it, a flower magically appearing in his hand, a gorgeous pink and white flower, “I’ve got it.” You smile at him, as if a silent thanks for all that he’s done so far for you.
“So where’s the pixie dust?”
“Right here.” He flicks the flower, shaking a green substance out of them, like pollen out of the flowers at home. Home. You start to wonder if you’ll stay here with Peter in Neverland instead of returning to your old life.
“Are you ready, love?” He asks, and you nod, even though you don’t believe you will be able to fly. He places the dust into your hands, allowing it to spread across your body, and while it’s only a small amount, you already feel exhilarated, as if filled with magic.
“Now just believe you can fly, and you will.” He instructs, using a calm voice to encourage you, but no matter how hard you try to force yourself to believe, you can’t, and remain landed instead of in the sky.
“I’m sorry, Peter, I don’t know how to believe.” You apologize, knowing very well that there is no way that you can change your beliefs in a day.
“That’s alright, love. If you choose to stay, we can work on it, but first,” He grabs your hand tightly, “You should experience flying.” He takes off, as you squeal from the surprise, but soon learning to enjoy it: the wind blowing through your hair, the freedom, and there’s something so incredible about being away from the ground, away from your problems, away from the world you once knew of boring routines.
“How do you like it?” He asks, placing one hand on your waist to hold you steady.
“It’s amazing! Thank you, Peter.” You give him a caring look, attempting to express all of your emotions through a single expression, and judging by the look on his face, he understood the message perfectly.
The whole day, the two of you discovered new parts of the island, from secret caves to new and different magic. Slowly, you fell in love with the boy; his adventurous spirit never failed to entertain you, and he truly seemed to care for your wellbeing.
“Hey there, love. Want to stop here? There’s a good view of the stars from here. It’s been a busy day.” He smiles at you, as you both sit down, admiring the view. The clusters of stars illuminate the entire sky, yet two stand out in particular, which you assume to be the second star to the right that Peter talked about.
“All my life I loved looking at the stars. They’re all so…infinite, makes you realize your own mortality, doesn’t it? We’re all just blips on a map of time.” He states, passion in his voice, as he stares at the infinite string of galaxies above him.
“Is that why you became immortal?”
“Maybe it is.” He shrugs, continuing to stare, “Stars live and die, like everything else. Some are hot, some are cool, both of them struggling against the forces, just as we do. And in the end, they all collapse, and their light is snuffed out.” His voice lowers, as if saddened by the thought of it, revealing his emotions in front of you, something that meant more to you than you could express in words. The fact that he would open up to you, despite having the reputation of heartlessness, it made you feel…special.
“But while they live, (Y/N),” He turns to face you, meeting eyes, “They shine.”
The two of you stare into each other’s eyes, examining every detail of each other, and instinctively, you glance at his lips, and he seems to do the same to you. Before long, he leans in, pressing his lips to yours, moving his hand to your neck to deepen the kiss, sweet and passionate. The two of you pull away, only being able to stare at each other.
“Well, (Y/N), I guess the day is over now.”
“I don’t think I’m ready to leave quite yet.” You chuckle before pecking a quick kiss on his cheek.
