"I'll Make It Better"

Summary: A post-series drabble written for the Tumblr hurt/comfort dialogue prompts: "Show me where it hurts." & "I'll make it better."

Peter is helping his son learn to ride a bicycle. I gave Peter's family a farm, making this AU.


"Daddy, let go!"

Letting go of the bike, Peter jogged behind as Neal rode up Peter's family farm's driveway. Suddenly the front wheel twisted hard sending bike and boy crashing.

Peter raced over and picked up his now sobbing son. "Show me where it hurts, Buddy."

Neal held out his right hand to show indentations in his palm but thankfully no broken skin.

"Here, I'll make it better," Peter said, kissing Neal's palm.

"Thank you Daddy." Neal gave one last sniff before asking, "Can I try again?"

"Sure can, Buddy," Peter said, holding the bike as Neal climbed back on.
