So Neal does know Hook from neverland, he might be a part of crew, hook also might know just whose son he is. So you don't think their meeting is awkward still? No I do not. There is no awkwardness between two strangers meeting. It will be, when each find who the other one is out. My own theory is that Hook knows who Bae is (if we assume Milah doesn't have a black hole for a heart then she most likely metioned Bae to Hook), but the boy doesn't know the history between Hook and his mother. The reason for their future fallout would be a result from Baelfire finding out the truth about his mom. If I'm correct then this revelation wouldn't be awkward but dramatic in nature.

If I'm not correct then I still expect the moment where they find out who the other is would be written as dramatic too. The writers did an excellant job in Manhattan, an episode that also had a similar scene, but could have just as easily been awkward.
