oh... that's nuanced and lovely and very, very cool. :)

asdfghjkl;

You really have their dynamic down. And "The look of reverence as he folded the thick waxy paper over the face of the painting was pure and intimate, and it twisted hotly through Peter's stomach." was just... <3.

This was lovely and delightful and it left me with this smile on my face that's probably going to stay on there for the rest of the day.

I especially loved the way they read one another so well - and yet not completely, like when Neal asks Peter what would bother him more: Neal stealing the painting or Neal stealing the painting with Peter right there. (And then refusing to sat he's not going to steal it, leaving Peter wondering instead.)

Positively, absolutely lovely. A gelled moment and the perfect length for the topic.

Beautifully written

Thick with tension and undertones of longing.
