Just a silly little one shot that popped into my head in school…. while I was supposed to be taking notes in Biology. Oh, well, can't stop when you've been bitten by a plot bunny! :) I'm not sure which episode this is from, but it's the one where Alex appears, the one about the five jade elephants.

Disclaimer: I don't own White Collar, just this plot.


Peter: "You're kicking me out?"

Neal: "No!"

Peter: *sigh* "Is this because I ran Alex's prints?"

Oh, man.

What was he supposed to tell Peter? That it was because when Peter stayed at his house, they were so close it hurt? That when he saw Peter in a t-shirt and sweats, it was all he could do to literally attack him? That he jacked off at night, moaning Peter's name? That his breath hitched every time Peter's hand brushed his? That he had fallen, deeply and irrevocably for his colleague and friend?

He looked into Peter's eyes, hoping Peter wouldn't see past the façade he had worked so hard to keep up, and simply said,

"It's for so many reasons, Peter."


There you go! Short and sweet. This is the first in a series of many one-shots and drabbles, not necessarily Peter/Neal. Cookies if you review! (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::)
