Caffrey & Associate
Summary: A double drabble written for the Tumblr hurt/comfort dialogue prompt: "Come here." Though not really H/C
AU where Neal didn't "die", but served out his time with the FBI and became a free man.
"Why all the cloak and dagger Neal?" Peter grumbled. Neal rushed Peter past the directory board, into an elevator.
"Just trust me."
Exiting the elevator onto level 5, Neal turned left, leading Peter to the door of a newly refurbished office suite. "What do you think?"
Peter took a few seconds gathering his thoughts. A timeline of memories flashed through his mind. From an impetuous kid handing him a green lollypop, to the man standing before him now, anxiously awaiting his approval.
"I think I couldn't be any prouder of you. Come here!" Peter said, pulling Neal into a tight hug, with maybe a slight glistening of his eyes.
Ending the hug, Neal opened the doors to "Caffrey & Associate, Security Services" allowing Peter to enter.
"'And Associate', should I ask?"
Neal grinned, opening the door to an inner room with comfortable chairs surrounding a meeting table.
"Mozzie? You're 'and Associate'?"
"Alas, thanks to Lady Suit and her offspring my journey to the dark side is complete."
Mozzie handed Peter and Neal a glass of champagne each.
"Retire from the FBI and join us. I can easily add an 's' to Associate."
Peter smiled. "You never know Neal, you never know."
