[There's a cheerful face that appears on the screen. A nice smile and a bounce of his head.]

Hello everyone. For those who saw the injured man looking for Pete, I'm him. He found me... [More like Pete found him.] ...so that's settled. He's in good care now.

[But now onto the main reason he's posting.]

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows of any training grounds or a shooting range? The shooting range would be especially great but I'll be happy to accept just a training ground too. Mostly I just want to make sure I don't end up too lazy.

[And he wants to test his new gun...]

Also if anyone has food recommendations here let me know. Especially good if it's take out that I can bring home to share. Spicy is a bonus.

Thank you and it's nice to meet all of you.

[The petting makes him melt and relax. Soon he's smiling again, back to his happy self. Gently his fingers pet Vegas' hip through the blanket, content to stay where he is for a bit.]

...I love you, Vegas...

this icon is the exact look on his face rn

[patheticmeowmeow]

(( He knows Pete's as adept at faking smiles as he is. They're easy to hide behind. Others tend to prefer happiness over any other emotion and accept smiles with less questioning. But Vegas could tell the differences between Pete's real smiles and the ones he put on for the world. He hasn't wrung out every emotion from Pete, yet, but he's confident that he can and will. ))

I love you, Pete.

[unleashedpet]

You're still a psycho and an asshole.

[But this time he means it with all the affection in the world. Vegas was a fucking monster but the fact was that he was his fucking monster now. Somehow that made all the difference in the fucked up world they were from. The worst of life had forged them into the broken people they were and somehow they'd found each other. Who they really were. Embracing that now just felt right.]

[patheticmeowmeow]

Fuck you.

(( With utmost affection.

But isn't being fucked up what brought them together? Pete made Vegas feel like a human being with his militant acceptance of all the things no one in Vegas' life had wanted to see. His sadism, his homosexuality, his vulnerability, his loneliness. Not only did Pete see and accept him, he mirrored everything back. And Vegas saw him. All of him. Saw all of him and wanted more. ))

[unleashedpet]

Fuck you too.

[But he can't help the soft laugh that leaves him. Only they could say shit like that to each other and have it sound like they were delivering words of love. It's their own special language and he doesn't want anyone else to understand the depths of it.

It's why he looks up at Vegas now with a big smile as he says:]

Fuck you very much, psycho.

[patheticmeowmeow]

Fuck me yourself, coward.

(( Okay, well that might have sounded like an invitation. But for another time. After last night and how long it took for the pain to subside and his breathing the even out, he knew better than do anything more than that.

And honestly? Right now he wasn't even that interested in sex. The intimacy they shared in the moment was more than enough. It was that which brought them together in the first place. Not the torture, not even the sex. It was the bond they established in the safehouse before they ever fucked that burned so hot Vegas thought he might disintegrate. ))

[unleashedpet]

That's your job to fuck me, shithead.

[But he's not moving for anything like that. Partially because Vegas isn't ready for it and partially because right now it just feels good to be able to mess around like this. To just be able to say this kind of stuff to each other without any kind of expectation behind it. It's them and they're just sharing a moment together.

It means the world.]

[patheticmeowmeow]

(( A smile pulled at his lips and he tightened his fingers in Pete's hair. ))

It's my job to see to all of your needs.

(( And yet here he was, bedridden and broke. Unable to take care of his most important person. Failing, yet again. His mood was turning, no doubt Pete could sense it. ))

[unleashedpet]

Guess you better get well soon. Otherwise I'm going to get really good at taking care of you instead.

[Leaning forward, he presses a kiss right to those bandages.]

And I know you will too. Because I'd only date the best.

[patheticmeowmeow]

(( He sighed and loosened his fingers, letting them stroke through Pete's hair once again. ))

I don't want you to be my bodyguard, Pete. I know you're capable, but that's not what I want from you.

[unleashedpet]

Who said I was doing it to be your bodyguard? Boyfriends do this too.

[And he actually sticks his tongue out him. Mature? Not really. But maturity is not the point of the gesture. Besides, he's not with the main family anymore. He can afford a little immaturity.]

[patheticmeowmeow]

(( And, in a completely mature response, Vegas bops his chin so he'll bite that tongue. ))

You're like me. You'll destroy anything that tries to hurt what's yours.

[unleashedpet]

[Pete yelps as he bites his tongue then sucks it back in, holding his hand over his mouth as he glares up at him. Jerk! But then he lowers his hand and continues his cuddling.]

I will. I've seen myself do it now.

[patheticmeowmeow]

You killed the one who shot me, didn't you?

[unleashedpet]

Without even thinking about it.

[Not even trying to aim either.]

[patheticmeowmeow]

(( That... actually makes his heart swell. It probably shouldn't make him so happy, but it does. The one who shot him was a colleague of Pete's. It could have been a friend. Whoever it was, Pete shot them dead. For him. ))

I love you, Pete.

[unleashedpet]

[To this day he has no idea who he shot. He knows he saw a suit which means it was a main family bodyguard. That makes sense since they were at war that day. But in that moment anyone who hurt Vegas was the enemy. So he'd shot until they were dead.

End of story.

He doesn't regret it even now as he leans forward to so gently press a kiss to the wounds. He's a fucked up person too. That's all there is to it.]

I love you too.

[patheticmeowmeow]

(( His fingers continue combing through Pete's hair. As if they're having a casual conversation about the weather. ))

If anyone ever hurts you, Pete, I'll bring them a pain so exquisite they'll regret being born.

(( A quick death would be too merciful. ))

[unleashedpet]

[That shouldn't make him smile but it does. A lazy and loving smile with just a hint of danger to it as he gazes up at him.]

You'll need to rebuild your kit.

[patheticmeowmeow]

Just in case.

(( He truly doesn't plan to do much in the way of interrogating... not unless Kinn demands it of him. But on the chance that he may need to hurt someone for harming Pete? It's better to have it and not need it. ))

I think there's another kit we need to work on, too.

[unleashedpet]

[His eyes close but the smile remains. He knows what kit Vegas is talking about. There's still that ache in his wrists sometimes that says as much.]

Yeah. That one too.

[patheticmeowmeow]

I'm curious what you actually like.

[unleashedpet]

[Okay he really can't resist this one. He bites his lip a moment before speaking.]

You.

[patheticmeowmeow]

Smartass.

(( That will earn Pete a playful swat to his shoulder ))

You know what I mean. What do you like in bed? I don't... (( He paused, brow furrowing slightly. )) I don't want to make assumptions.

[unleashedpet]

[He'd known exactly what Vegas had meant but he's finding more and more how much he loves joking and messing around with him. It's well worth the swat he gets.]

Well, I found out I really love when I'm tied up by you. [That's an amazing start.]
