Summary
“Look at me Neal,” he said in a commanding tone. “You’re going to be okay. You’re fine. It’s fine.” He was still stroking his hair - cringing at the blood, he couldn't do anything else to comfort him, though.
Neal’s bloodshot eyes met his tearful ones. “You're scared. I can see it in your eyes,” he commented, still writhing in agony.
“Of course I'm scared,” Peter said, voice cracking. “You're shot, and I don't want to lose you.”
“I'm sorry,” Neal whispered, the strength in his voice fading fast. “Nononono, stay with me. Stay with me, bud. Please,” Peter begged.

TW: Mentions of self-harm (not described, but clearly mentioned and implied.)
"Neal felt his facade crumble, as the beating in his heart overran his instinct to laugh it off. He wanted to leave, but he couldn’t.
“Neal..why,” he paused. His brown eyes met Neal’s, and Peter looked at him with worry, his eyebrows creased while his lips were parted slightly. Neal let out a shaky laugh, covering his arm. “Peter, this might not even be what you’re thinking. Don’t get so worked up.”
But Peter knew. He could tell by the messiness of his words, the slight tremble in his hands that Peter had found out something he never wanted anyone to know."
~~~
Neal Caffrey trusts Peter more than anyone else. Even so, using that trust is hard when Peter does things to make sure he's okay. He's not.

Summary
Neal yawned into his fist, eyes watering, and sat back in his desk chair. It had already been a long day and it was only two o’clock in the afternoon. There was a lingering dryness in the back of his throat that had him dreading the congestion he knew was coming.

Summary
With panic fizzing through his veins, Neal was finally able to force his eyes open. He blinked against the glare of fluorescent lighting and flicked his eyes around the room. He still couldn’t move his head, but what he could see left him cold.
He was alone in a small, sterile room, with white walls and a grey floor. He was strapped to a metal chair with restraints holding his arms in place. And there was an IV taped to the back of his hand.
Or:
Peter rescues Neal. Everyone does their best to support Neal in the aftermath and Neal does his best to let them. -

“Honey, he’s sick,” El said, a frown spreading across her face. She turned to face her husband, cornering him in the kitchen.
“Who, Neal?” Peter paused, his hand halfway to his mouth with a slice of cheese.
“Yes!” El swatted him with the dish towel she was holding.

Summary
As the evening wore on, Neal finished one beer and then another, ready to call it a night and head home. He stood from his barstool and nearly face planted on the sticky floor. Something wasn’t right. Grasping the edge of the bar tightly, Neal brought his free hand up and rubbed at his eyes, trying to make the world stop spinning. His limbs felt like lead and he was sure that if he tried to speak his words would slur despite only having two beers.
“Neal?” Peter furrowed his brow at Neal’s reaction.
“P’ter,” Neal mumbled. “Think I got d-drugged.”

“You okay?” Peter asked once they were headed in the direction of Riverside Drive.
“Yeah.” Neal watched the city go by outside the window and was grateful that Peter gave him rides almost everyday so that he didn’t have to use public transportation.
“El asked about you. She called me earlier and mentioned that Mozzie needed her chicken noodle soup recipe.”

“Feeling any better?” Peter asked once he saw Neal’s eyelids flutter open from where he had been sleeping on Peter’s shoulder.
Neal sat up, stretching out the crick in his neck, and thought for a minute. “Yeah, actually.”
Grabbing the thermometer, Peter reached out and placed the tip of it in Neal’s ear. “Still too warm,” Peter said, frowning.

Neal woke up about to vomit for the second time that day. Feeling his heart rate increase with panic, Neal looked around for something to throw up in; he didn’t think he would make it all the way up the stairs to the bathroom. Thankfully, El had planned for this instance and had set a metal mixing bowl next to the couch for Neal if he needed. And boy did he ever.

They walked together in silence out to Peter’s car, and rode most of the way to Brooklyn the same way, with the radio playing softly in the background.
“So,” Peter started as he pulled to a stop at a red light.
Neal just raised his eyebrows in question. His throat was really starting to bother him.
“What’s the matter?” Peter decided to just rip the bandaid off and get to the point.
Neal sighed, coughing a little as the air rushed out of his throat. “I think I’m coming down with something,” Neal replied.

As he watched the flames crawl and snake over the logs, Neal felt something in his chest tighten. All the muscles that had relaxed while he ate dinner tensed back up, and he suddenly felt like he couldn’t breathe.

Summary
Stumbling out of bed, Neal made it as far as his kitchen before he was throwing up into the sink. His head was pounding and he winced as he gagged, wishing he hadn’t had so much wine last night at dinner with Peter, Elizabeth, and Mozzie.

Summary
Peter bit his lip to keep from laughing. Neal was curled up on the couch, sick with a cold and sound asleep, and he was clutching one of Satchmo’s stuffed dog toys under his arm. The fur was visibly dirty and looked as though it probably crunched when you squished it; Peter could only imagine the smell. Good thing Neal’s nose was plugged, he supposed.

Neal jumped up, suddenly feeling panicked, trying to prove his worth to the FBI so that Peter wouldn’t send him back to prison. “Please, Peter, let me do this. I can do it, I promise.” He swayed on his feet, his vision going green around the edges. He suddenly felt much too warm, and the next thing he knew he was in a heap on the floor of the van.

When Peter turned back around, Neal had taken off his jacket and was leaning faux-casual against the side of the bookshelf. There was a ring of deep purple around his throat, and Peter could make out exactly where Flannery’s fingers had pressed into his skin.

Summary
And that was…a surprise to Peter. “You told him to tell me? I thought you were mad at me?”
“I am mad at you.” With the scowl on his face he actually looked mildly threatening. Peter realized how truly upset Mozzie was with him. “The only reason I’m here talking with you is because your wife, who I like more, asked me to talk with you. She reminded me that, at the end of the day, hopefully we want the same thing.”
aka Neal gets hurt while on a mission, and hides it from Peter. Mozzie comes over to help him, and is upset that Neal's hurt at all. At the end of the day though, his concern for Neal outweighs keeping the secret.
