~Max~

"We're here."

I released my grip on Peter and took a deep breath.

"Happy thoughts." I mumbled glaring at the Lost Boy infront of me.

Peter shrugged his shoulders and walked towards a tree.
"After you."

I looked at the tree again I saw a ladder. I gripped a step in my hand and climbed up. I saw the Peter was climbing up after me.

"Stay." I told him.

Peter hesitated for a brief second, but nodded and began back down the ladder. I stayed put until I saw that he made it to the ground. I met his eyes before I looked up and continued to climb.
Reachign the top I couldnt help but stare at the little tree bouse. I smiked at how similar it was to mine. As I looked around I heard my name.

"Max?"

I tured around to face my brother.

"Henry." I saod smiling.

"What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to make sure that you wrer ok." I answered.

"Well I'm fine. Can you go please." Henry asked but not in a asking tone.

I was a bit shaken by my brothers words. "Henry, what's wrong?"

I received a scoff in return.

"You're asking me what's wrong? Max you're the one in love with the enemy here."

I bit my tongue holding in my reaction. "And you have a problem with that?"

Henry looked me dead in the eyes.

"Yeah I do."

~Peter~

I sat impatiently as raised voices could be heard.

"Bloody hell." I mumbled.

I stood up and began to pace as the siblings continued to bicker. Thank god that I grew up as an only child. Shortly max came back down the ladder. She looked at me with disappointment.

"What happened love?"

She ignored my question. trying to brush past me I grabbed her sides, pulling her close to me. She wrapped her arms around my neck keeping her eyes tied to the ground.

"He wanted nothing to do with me."

"Max-"

"Face it Peter, it's no use in trying to get him to believe now."

I unwrapped her arms and held her shoulders making her eyes meet mine.

"Look at me." I whispered.

Max turned her head farther away from mine. I lifted a hand to her chin and turned her gaze towards mine.

"Max love, look at me."

She sighed but let her piercing blue eyes meet mine.

"This happens, okay."

She bit her lip, but nodded. I kissed the top of her head, breathing in her scent.

"Come on." I whispered taking her in my arms bridal style. "Let's go to the beach to have some fun."

Max nodded burying her head into my chest. I chuckled and again kissed the top of her head. I began to walk down a cleared path. As I weaved myself in and out of the overgrown plants I began to see the waves crashing down towards the sand. Reaching the beach, I kissed Max's exposed neck to gain her attention.

"We're here love." I mumbled into her hair.

Max shifted in my arms and looked out into the ocean. I set her down allowing her feet to touch the sand. I watched as she walked towards the water, but only for her to stop at it's edge. I walked up behind her, wrapped my arms around her waist, and rested my chin on her shoulder.

"No water today Lost Girl?" I whispered.

She shook her head.

"No water today Peter Pan."

I chuckled and looked into the sky. "It's getting dark love."

She tilted her head up and looked into the darkening sky. "Why dose Neverland have to be so dangerous and yet so beautiful at the same time?"

I kissed the top of her head as I pulled her even closer.

"Beautiful?" I asked "This is nothing compared to you."
