Sunshine Part 2

The idoot also helped with this one, DJ_Tatortot . And I got the last quote from hungergames36 from their Avengers Preferences and Imagines (Book 2) because I am unoriginal when it comes to being romantic in any way.

Summary: Neal's sentence could get a commutation, and you have to testify. Then, something goes wrong...

"Then can we watch Pocahontas?"

"Yes, as long as you promise not to fall asleep... And don't worry; I won't look when you put in your Netflix password."

"And the two loves birds have finally arrived!" Jones exclaims when you and Neal walk into work next Monday morning.

Diana laughs. "How was the date?"

"It was fine," you reply, unable to fight the blush creeping onto your face. You glance behind you, see Neal getting teased by Jones and Peter, and deem it safe to gush to Diana about the date.

Once you've told her the whole thing, which gave her some insight on Neal she'd use against him later, she asks, "Is the Bureau okay with this? You and him?"

"Well, the official rule is that you can't date your CI, and, last I checked, he's Peter's, not mine. So, we're basically getting by on a technicality."

She smiles. "Well, as long as you're getting by, I'm happy; you're the only one that can keep him out of trouble."

Later that day, you see Neal talking to Peter and Diana in Peter's office and make your way up there; you're ready to leave and you're his ride home.

As soon as Peter sees you, he grins and pulls you inside. "The Probation office wants to have a hearing to discuss the commutation of Neal's sentence because he caught Keller."

"Wait, they want to what?" you ask, confused but anticipating good news considering the expressions on everyone's faces.

Peter grabs a paper from Neal and hands it to you. "Y/N, they could basically drop his sentence; no anklet, nothing. He'd be free."

"We have to round up people to testify to my glorious reformation," Neal says, smiling. "What do you say, Sunshine?"

You grin. "What do you think, idiot?"

A week of solving cases later, and you're in the hot seat. Three people sit in front of you taking notes, but the woman in the middle does the talking. "Can you state your name and relationship to Neal Caffrey for the record?"

"My name is Y/F/N and Neal Caffrey is my boyfriend," you reply, the word 'boyfriend' making your heart flutter. While you tell yourself to be professional, the woman continues.

"Will your personal relationship with Caffrey be influencing your testimony today?" she asks.

You smile a little. "Of course. That's where the majority of the real, bettered Neal Caffrey shines through - at least to me."

"Could you elaborate?"

"When I first met Neal, I didn't know what to think; I'd studied his crimes before going to work with him. He was a file to me, and I had a preconceived notion that he was dangerous and not to be trusted."
