Peter loves watching Neal pull a con.
It’s a graceful dance, with Neal taking the lead.
Watching him in action it’s like Neal should take a bow and Peter should applaud.
Neal would charm with smiles and warm looks, so you felt like the center of his universe, like you were in on some big secret.
Peter loved it, but it also broke his heart, he had seen those same smiles, those same looks, but directed at him.
Peter knows when Neal is conning him.
Despite knowing this Peter wants to keep dancing, even if it means he isn't leading.
