Spoilers for the finale: s06e06 Au Revoir. Read at your own discretion. What if Neal hadn’t planned any of it? Peter finds Neal after he'd been shot, and spends the next day scrubbing red from underneath his fingernails. Or, “You’re my best friend.” And then Neal closed his eyes, and his heart stopped beating beneath Peter’s hands and his breath left him and his pulse ceased to thrum, and there was more red outside his veins than in, and something twisted in Peter’s chest so agonisingly a cry he didn’t hear was torn from his lips. Oh god. In the end, the emergency operation required two surgeons, five theatre nurses, six hours and twenty-three minutes of intensive surgery, forty-three stitches bound to leave hell of a scar, and two full bags of transfusive blood to make up for the approximate thirty-eight percent Neal had lost. It had been an incredibly narrow miss, Peter realised.
