The Arrangement

I'll be good... love the world like I should.

It's been months since Vegas had seen or heard anything from Gemini. He basically went crazy for the first few months turning Thailand upside down looking for his son.

Vegas is downright evil, he himself can admit that but he loved his son. He loved his son so much that every passing day he didn't know where Gemini was, was torturous. He had completely abandoned his position, with Pete overseeing everything and keeping the boat afloat.

Vegas was a shell of the man he used to be, he didn't eat, hardly slept and all he did was drink and spend a ridiculous amount of money looking for Gemini. He was determined to turn the entire earth upside down if necessary. 

Pete couldn't bare to see his husband like this, he loved Vegas. He loved Vegas more than he had ever loved anyone, more than he loved himself. Yes he was worried about Gemini but he knew Gemini was safe, the last place Gemini was, was with Fourth at the Kittisawasd residence. Porsche might be a lot of things but Pete knew Porsche will never hurt.

Porsche wasn't malicious like that, besides Porsche knew that Fourth loved Gemini so obviously he won't hurt his son despite the hate he harbored towards them.

"Love." Pete said as he entered Vegas' dim-lit office.

Vegas looked at him saying nothing, bags underneath his eyes. The man was clearly sleep deprived and clearly losing weight.

"You need to eat something." Pete said softly, taking carefully calculated steps as if walking towards a threatened kitten.

"I am not hungry." Vegas replied, his voice low enough it came out as a whisper.

Pete could tell Vegas was tired, heck he was exhausted. Never in his life had he thought he would see Vegas like this, ruthless unfeeling Vegas to be torn apart like this. This pained Pete, it pained him to his core and all he wanted was to make it better, soothe Vegas' pain.

It has already been established that Pete would do just about anything for Vegas. Insane as it is it just was.

"My love..." Pete said cupping Vegas' face in his palms. "I hate seeing you like this." He said placing a gentle kiss on Vegas' forehead.

At this gesture Vegas' body became less tense, almost relaxed as he rested his head on Pete's belly heaving out a heavy sigh.

"I just want to know where he is... after losing Macau- I don't want to even think about it." Vegas said softly, sorrow evident in his voice.

Pete vaguely knew about Macau, Vegas never spoke much of his little brother. The only thing that he knew was that Porsche got with him shortly after whatever happened to Macau, maybe that's why Porsche had such a hold on Vegas. Maybe Vegas is holding on to Porsche as a way to have something of his little brother with him.

And now Porsche has Gemini, once again having a hold on Vegas. Pete hated having this knowledge, his resentment towards Porsche growing day by day.

"Maybe if we reach out to Porsche and Kinn... they might be able to help." Pete said softly carding Vegas' hair gently. 

The last thing he wanted was to be in contact with the Kittisawasd family. The past months Gemini had gone missing they have stayed away from each other, existing in peace, if you would call it that.

"It makes sense right? Maybe Fourth knows something about Gemini's whereabouts right?" Pete said softly as if he was coercing a child.

"I tried Pete... believe me I tried and the last thing I need right now is going to war with Kinn." Vegas replied and it sounded pitiful, which caused an ache in Pete's heart.
