Changed my mind. Trying to go to sleep tonight and this just popped in to my head. Peter is just too adorable when he tries to make coffee so I thought it appropriate our favorite conman takes a shot at teaching him how.
"So Peter I had June get you some of the fabulous Italian roast."
Peter's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Well yeah, it's the anniversary of the first time that you caught me so I thought it called for something special."
"Well… umm…" Peter looked down at his shoes, he hadn't gotten Neal anything.
"It's okay Peter, you didn't have to get me anything. So…" two grateful brown eyes looked up in to the grinning face of the ex-conman/partner "are you going to make some?"
Peter looked from Neal to the kitchen door back to the floor. "Oh, well… see… Elizabeth" Peter paused, not quite sure how to explain this next part without Neal laughing at him.
The grin on Neal's face widened, blue eyes dancing with laughter "Don't tell me." He chuckled "She won't let you in the kitchen?"
"No." Peter's head shot up "That's not true."
"Come on Peter, the truth."
Peter grabbed the bag of coffee. "I can go in the kitchen. It's my kitchen too." He pushed the door open. He took a step in, holding the door open, swallowing hard.
Neal stepped around him. "Do you have a grinder?"
"Yeah, it's a… it's" he waved his hand vaguely towards some cabinets "over there."
Peter stepped towards the coffee maker. Neal let out a short laugh.
"You don't even know how to make coffee, real coffee do you?"
Peter looked at the coffee maker and then at the coffee grinder in Neal's hand.
Neal broke into another smile. "Oh just let me do it…"
