Author's Summary: Peter had never known Neal to use drugs, but that didn't change the fact that Neal was shaking apart in front of him.

Why this must be read:

“Neal needed to rest and feel safe, and Peter needed to make that happen.” - That's what this fanfiction is all about. Drugged!Neal, as adorable as that was on the show, it's just too cute in this fanfiction, and Peter tries his best to take care of a scared, confused and drugged!Neal. Neal's confused state comes across very well and his delusions are frightening and well written. On top of that, this fanfiction also includes some Neal & Peter snuggling, which again makes for a very cute scene.

"It's loud in my brain, loud and bright. And out here is so quiet. And it's not equal. And the inside wants to be on the outside but I don't--" He looked up at Peter, his eyes still dilated into the blackness of space. "I don't want to lose the inside."

"Aw, kid. I don't want you to lose your inside either. How about some music?" Peter went over to Neal's stereo, saw that there was a classical music CD inside, and hit play. The music was mellow, gentle, and he thought it might be just what Neal needed until he started shouting.

"No! No!" Neal pulled the blanket over his face and folded himself in half on the sofa. "The windows--they're--it makes them weaker. Peter!"
