(( The face on the screen looks equal parts frustrated and worried. From the look of the bandages wrapped around his torso and the general background of the video, it's clear this guy's in the hospital. It's also clear that he's none too pleased by the fact. ))

Who's responsible for bringing me here? This is not the level of care I'm accustomed to! Where's Pete? Where's Macau? Where's my fucking gun??

Not yet. But I'm going to keep looking. If I can't find him it means he's in our world.

[Because if he's here then he'll find him and bring him to Vegas immediately.]

[safesex]

(( Shit. Could Macau even survive on his own? Would Khun Korn have someone look after him in Vegas' absence? It's not like Macau did anything wrong. He wasn't involved in any of Vegas' machinations or their father's move against the main family.

Vegas closes his eyes and, with a small wince, leans in to press a kiss to Pete's forehead. He doesn't have the vocabulary to express how much Pete and all he's done for Vegas means to him. The downfall of having the emotional IQ of a spoon. ))

[unleashedpet]

Hey you shouldn't be straining yourself more. Or you'll be in this hospital longer.

[But he knows that Vegas needs to be able to touch and kiss him right now. So he makes a decision and moves to the man's less injured side to climb into the bed and get under the covers with him while he leans against his side.]

Just rest okay?

[safesex]

(( Once Pete settles beside him, Vegas leans slightly against him. He's solid and warm and brings so much relief just by being there. ))

Okay.

(( He does, however, reach over for one of Pete's hands. ))

Just don't leave.

[unleashedpet]

[Taking that hand, he leans back against him, ready to support him.]

As soon as they say you're okay enough I'll get us somewhere to stay here.

[safesex]

I'm gonna die here, Pete.

(( What a dramatic bitch. ))

Look at this place!

[unleashedpet]

[He has to bite his lip a second to not laugh at the dramatics.]

It's a little old fashioned but it's nice.

[safesex]

Are we sitting on the same bed?

(( Or, you know, it could be those gunshot wounds that are making him so uncomfortable. ))

[unleashedpet]

You're just used to the other hospital.

[He gives his hand a reassuring squeeze.]

I'll get you out as soon as I can. And I'll sneak in better food until then.

[safesex]

(( Vegas squeezes his hand in return. ))

No. Just stay with me.

[unleashedpet]

[He knows how hard it is for Vegas to be vulnerable like this so he makes a point of tucking himself in nice and tight into the bed.]

There. Now I can't go anywhere.

[safesex]

(( A faint hint of a smile pulls at his lips. He brings Pete's hand up and kisses his knuckles as a way of saying thank you. ))

You had your chance to run.

[unleashedpet]

[That makes Pete shift his head so he can look up at Vegas.]

I ran to my home. You're my home.

[safesex]

(( Vegas cants his head so he can meet Pete's gaze. His expression is serious. Deadly serious. ))

I won't let you leave me now.

[unleashedpet]

[He knows what that gaze means. He really does. Better than anyone here ever could.

But instead of shrinking away from it, he moves closer to kiss Vegas. A promise that he won't go.]

[safesex]

(( Honestly, what can Vegas do in his condition if Pete does realize what a horrible mistake he was making? So it means even more to him that Pete would come back to him when he had nothing to offer except his terrible self. He leans in slightly to meet the other's lips, sighing at the familiar taste of them. ))

[unleashedpet]

[Vegas really can't do anything else right now but that's fine with him. He can enjoy this moment with him while they kiss, pulling back eventually to smile at him.

He's not going anywhere. It's a promise.]

[safesex]

(( Of course it is. Vegas will kill him before he lets Pete go. ))

[unleashedpet]

Get some rest okay? I'll figure out the rest later.

[Getting Vegas out of here, finding them a place to stay... all of it.]

[safesex]

(( He leans his forehead against Pete's and nods once. ))

Okay.

(( He shifts to lay back against the pillows propped up behind him and breathes easy. At least with Pete there, he knows he's safe. ))

[unleashedpet]

[Gently, he makes sure the blankets are up more so that Vegas is nicely tucked in. Then he gets out his device so he can keep doing his investigations. He's partially in bodyguard mode now.

Some habits die hard.]
