Huge thanks to my wonderful and generous beta nynine ♥
I discovered White Collar few months ago and I totally fall in love with the characters and the story.
I have always had a soft spot for this kind of bromance and for some reason I felt an urge to write my own stories in English which is not my native tongue, as you can see XD, but I really cannot picture them talking in another language. Then I can improve my English skills and have fun at the same time ;p
Also I'm newbie to LiveJournal, hopefully I'll understand how it works soon LOL
Anyway I talked too much, let's start.

They had lost two agents in the line of duty and Peter was feeling overwhelmed with guilt and no leads to follow.
He sent the agents undercover and he couldn’t avoid taking the blame for what had happened.
As Neal approached, Peter didn’t look up and kept reading his files.
“Peter, you need a break,” he said carefully.
“I screwed up.” His voice sounded strained.
“You didn’t,” he replied softly.
“Why?” He asked it in a desperate tone Neal had never heard from him before.
“Because you can’t save everybody.”
Peter stared at Neal for a long time, then slowly nodded.
