This is great! I really love the focus on the importance of trust in their relationship. I also love the bonding moments between the two of them (and El's great advice.) Nice work!

Handlers day Peter must want to remove his fot from his mouth iccan't be comfortable balancing on one foot while chocking on your own toes

Really enjoyed this.

It's felt like it was a little too much on the father/son-relationship, but I liked it. A very nice story, thank you!

This was so sweet! Good job

This was such a lovely story so warm and beautiful it makes me want to be rigth there and hug Neal and Peter :3

Touching story. It is so Neal to buy expensive ties,for Peter too. He is always trying to add a bit of stylish spark to Peter's other wise boring assembles. I also said "AWW" out loud when I read this line: "He opens the first box, runs a finger down an extremely expensive silk necktie that he will never wear but always cherish. In secret."

Aw, haha, Peter did not handle that with much grace, though the situation was suspicious. He's not the most graceful sort, when he gets worried about someone, and I love how concerned he is for Neal's sake, not wanting him to go back to prison. Then the hug at the end. It was amazing. The apology, too. :D Great job!

OMG how cute! I was left in my chair a melting puddle that just wants to cuddle Neal for an eternity... yeah, because in this story it was incredibly vivid longing mostly because Neal was just trying to surprise Peter with something that doesn't even ask for anything big but shows how much Neal really loves Peter, although won't admit it even in the darkest hour... *returns back to melting*

Such a cute story! I loved it!
