“ -- right as usual.” finn can’t help but feel guilty, hands paused at the zipper of his half-filled backpack as ben hovers at the threshold of his room. nobody would consider it to be the middle of the night, by any means, but it’s late, too late to be packing a bag, too late to be making plans to go anywhere.
too late to try and re-find a childhood that doesn’t want to be found.
finn sits on the edge of his bed, crossing his ankles loosely. he looks young, despite the tints of shadow beneath his eyes. the legends say lost boys don’t grow up, but apparently finn never got that memo.
when he looks to ben his eyes are clear, open. he’s too tired to lie. “i think i need to go back to neverland. not forever. just -- long enough to figure some stuff out. and i didn’t wanna tell you cuz --” he drops his gaze now, head bowed like a child scorned. “i dunno. saying goodbye sucks. and i wasn’t sure if you’d try to talk me out of it. this is just... something that i feel like i have to do, y’know? does that make any sense?”
