AN: This is my entry for Round 4 of the great [livejournal.com profile] wcpairings exchange, modded by the lovely [livejournal.com profile] elrhiarhodan and [livejournal.com profile] theatregirl7299. Not beta'd, as I was still finishing up today, but many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] miri_thompson and [livejournal.com profile] theatregirl7299 for helpful brainstorming while I was working on it. Title from the song of the same name from The King and I (which I happen to have seen about a week ago at Lincoln Center). Written for [livejournal.com profile] aragarna, whose likes include Peter & Neal friendship, Peter & Mozzie friendship, Peter/El, and episode tags, especially for early seasons. I hope you like it!
