Peter would be sort of 'it's okay Jare, I'm just going to put Bear outside for a while', and Jared would look suddenly terrified, then fight and pull against his restraints while Peter took Bear away and he'd be yelling and furious and Peter would come back and try to calm him down, and he'd be going to untie him, but then worried he'd hurt himself, and wonder if he shouldn't just keep him tied down until he was calmer, until he got used to Bear being in the other room, and eventually some of the fight would go out of Jared and he'd be able to hug him and lie with him, and Jared would tell him he wasn't crazy, that he knew it was a stuffed bear, but they'd both know that he didn't really know anything like that, and Peter would stroke his back and Jared would try to sleep, but he couldn't sleep without Bear watching over him, and Peter would swallow and not know what to do for the best.
