Thanks for all the faves and follows! Wow! I would have updated sooner but I've been away from home for a few days due to my cousin's death. I'm sure she's in her own Neverland-like paradise right now.
If it had been just a regular movie night with Killian Emma would have been leaning against his shoulder with his arm wrapped around her, safe and comfortable but not today. While she loved cuddling with her man, and the feeling of safety and security it gave her, though she would deny it if anyone asked, she wanted to be able to see his face and remember every reaction when he saw this movie so this afternoon she was leaning against the armrest of the couch, watching Killian with interest.
She smiled as she heard the familiar opening theme to Disney's Peter Pan. The second star to the right.
"This is ridiculous," Killian exclaimed about thirty seconds into the song. "They're making Neverland sound like some kind of paradise with rainbows and unicorns and-" he paused.
"And?" Emma asked, smirking.
"And I don't bloody know what else, but Neverland is nothing like that!"
Emma had known all along that Killian would dislike this movie. He knew the truth was far more brutal than what this movie showed. He might have been able to enjoy the movie if he wouldn't keep comparing it to the real thing and she knew that that was what he was going to do. The only reason he was watching this movie was to see how much truth had been told about him and Pan and as far as she knew it wasn't much.
Still, she asked, "what about before Pan took over? Neal told me that the Island was a child's paradise before Pan started kidnapping boys from other worlds. Because he grew lonely with only having children visit in their dreams."
"Perhaps," Killian answered. "I don't know."
Emma smiled as she watched John and Michael playing on the TV screen, using a coat hanger as a hook.
"They think Pan was the one who cut off my hand?" Killian asked.
"Yeah," Emma replied. "Because according to this movie and all the stories I've ever heard he did."
"But what about the crocodile then?"
Emma supressed a laugh. "Wait and see." The crocodile was one of the most hilarious Disney animals she remembered from her childhood.
"This is ridiculous," Killian said once again as Nana, the dog came into the nursery with a tray with something for the children.
"Even the dogs in the Enchanted Forest couldn't do that."
"That's just Disney," Emma said.
"Is this like a thing?" Killian asked. "This Disney to pass false knowledge of animals onto children?"
Emma downed the last of her hot chocolate.
"I don't know, I turned out all right I think!"
Killian smiled at her. Oh how she loved that smile. It made her all warm inside. Though she would deny it if anybody asked. But the most important thing was that Killian already knew. He knew exactly what kind of effect he had on her. He knew that he was, as he himself put it, devilishly handsome. And by god she loved him. Everything about him. He was nothing like that codfish in the movie that they were currently watching.
"Oh I definitely like the way you turned out," Killian said, licking some whipped cream off his lips.
God he was sexy like that. Emma wanted to turn off the TV and jump on top of him and just rip off his clothes right there on the couch. He was just sitting there, watching the movie, completely oblivious to what was going on inside her head. Damn he was handsome in profile. And almost nobody was handsome in profile. What had she ever done to deserve such a gorgeous man?
"I kind of feel for the guy," Killian said. "I mean a millian things fall down on his head and all his family cares about his the dog."
Emma pushed her sexy fantasies aside and turned her gaze away from Killian to look at the screen. Mr. Darling was pulling Nana out of the house by the collar.
"On second thought now I feel more sorry for the dog. That can't be legal."
Emma smiled. How cute was he to care about animal rights? She sighed.
"What do you say we pause this movie for a moment?" she said.
"Hm?" Killian looked at her and then at her empty mug and then at his own mug.
"You want to make more chocolate? I'm all for that, just so you know."
"Not quite," Emma said. "But you do look devilishly handsome with whipped cream on your chin." I originally wanted to cover one movie per chapter but I decided against it when I realized that would make the chapters way too long so that's why I chose to break it up here.
I'm not good at writing after a script (in this case the script of the Peter Pan movie). So this is the best I could do. It's a little short but I have a little twist that I wanted to save for the next chapter. Enjoy.
