You're Safe With Me

Summary: A drabble written for the Tumblr hurt/comfort dialogue prompt: "You're safe with me."

Neal and Peter come across a lost child in a shopping mall.


The small boy stopped running between the display counters and started looking around frantically, tears in his eyes as they alighted on Neal.

"Peter, I think that little guy is lost."

Slowly approaching the child, Peter crouched down and asked, "What's wrong little man?"

Behind him, Neal took out his phone.

"I've lost Poppy, the child sobbed."

Looking up from his phone, Neal said, "Customer service desk is one level up."

Peter took out his badge and showed the boy, "It's okay, I'm an FBI agent. I'll find your poppy." Taking the child's hand he added, "You're safe with me."
