Vegas stuttered Pete's name against his throat, lips never leaving his skin even as he gasped and moaned. He wouldn't take it personally if Pete couldn't get off again. It's already been a lot and Vegas was rather proud of that. Besides, they had the rest of the night. And every night after.
To Vegas, it felt like time was slowing down. Like they'd already been doing this for hours. In truth, it was probably a handful of minutes before he pushed Pete onto his back so he could fuck him with more vigor. He angled his hips just so to strike his prostate in the hopes of making him cum just one more time.

Surprisingly, Vegas woke early that morning. One might think with as little sleep as they'd managed it would be another of those sleeping-past-noon days, but no. He was bright and early, slipping from their bed to go make his boyf-- husband some breakfast. He suspected that Pete might not be getting out bed for a while.
After a brief visit with Kinn in the kitchen, Vegas returned to their room with a tray of food: two bowls of jok and some tea (he'd die for some coffee, but the tea will have to suffice for now). Setting it beside the bed, he gently shook the lump under the blankets that was Pete.
"Baby, wake up. Time to eat."

Vegas wasn't far behind his husband. He didn't pass out, but he was exhausted. It's been a whirlwind of a night and they both needed a break. A few minutes passed while Vegas caught his breath before he moved. Pete was out so Vegas was able to slip away long enough to clean himself up and bring back a cloth to wipe down Pete's skin as well. Then he freed his husband's wrists and gathered Pete up in his arms to sleep. Chances were high that they'd go again when they woke up, but for now, Vegas just savored the weight of Pete against him.
"I dunno," he quipped. They're in old-timey Japan so he really doesn't have a clue. Vegas sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing his hand over what he thought was Pete's arm under the covers. "But it's breakfast time, I know that. C'mon, I'll help you sit up."
He propped up some pillows for Pete to rest against and then took his elbow to help him move. Vegas could tell Pete was still feeling last night and he preened a little in satisfaction. The self-satisfaction softened into something less sharp and warmer as Pete's fingers brushed against the diamonds around his throat.
He turned to grab a bowl off the tray and held it out to Pete, the matching diamond cuff still around his wrist. Last night was very real.
"Jok," he answered, offering a smile. "I didn't wanna wake you to ask what you wanted."

Well, it's a step up from trying to drown Pete in soup. Maybe he's just taking responsibility for putting Pete in this state. It's the least he could do, right? Besides, Pete's his now in every way. It's his duty to take care of him.
But he still can't help the feeling of pride welling up at the compliment. Vegas flashes him a soft smile and offers another spoonful.
"Glad you like it."

That smile was infectious. Vegas abandoned the spoon in the bowl in favor of taking Pete's left hand in his own. The hands that bore the rings that led to their whole married state. His thumb stroked across Pete's hand and Vegas' smile went soft.
"Damn right I am. That means you have to love and cherish me."
"Damn right I am. That means you have to love and cherish me."
Really, Pete? Oh, what a look that earned. "Isn't that what I'm fucking doing?"
Still, he couldn't think of a better fate than taking care of Pete for the rest of their lives. Everything was so spur-of-the-moment, but he's truly happier than he can remember being... Well, maybe it ranks right up there with waking up after being shot and finding Pete there. It's close.
The glare melted into a smile and Vegas leaned in for a light kiss.
"I'm yours, Pete Theerapanyakul."

Vegas liked how it sounded, too. It was yet another choice Pete made that left him breathless. He didn't have to change his name. Just like he didn't have to open to Vegas in the safehouse. He didn't need to sleep with him then, didn't need to hand him to rope. Didn't need to chase him after the attempted coups. So many times Pete chose him and it made his chest ache to think about it. Pete, who'd seen him at his worst, who'd seen how quickly he is to anger, and how very pathetic he could be, still chose him. It was all too easy to forget how much he hated himself with Pete at his side.
"Kinn tell you about his plans?" he's sure they've discussed it, but Vegas wanted to hear Pete's thoughts on the whole 'what next' question.

"He's pretty adamant about us all sticking together." Vegas thought he was just lonely without Porsche. He couldn't really fault Kinn for that. He'd be a mess without Pete here to keep him sane. It's hard to exist without purpose. Now, without all the Family's politics to worry about, Pete was Vegas' purpose.
He gives Pete a curious look since he hadn't seen much of either East or West at this point. "Why do you think that?"

A brow arched. Was he really offering them up for Vegas' vengeance? If anyone knew what that could entail, it was Pete. A smile spread over his face. Yes, Vegas would like to get to know those people specifically. Even if he didn't kill them, he'd teach them a lesson they wouldn't soon forget.
"I guess we'll have to pay a visit when you're feeling better."
"I guess we'll have to pay a visit when you're feeling better."
Vegas grinned in an unhinged sort of way, truly gleeful at the thought of harming others together with Pete. Well, these particular people deserved it for trying to harm Pete first. So it was just karma, really.
He lifted the bowl and scooped up a spoonful to feed his husband. Now it was Vegas' turn to marvel at their newly married state. Was there a more perfect person for him than Pete? Pete could be himself with Vegas. All of himself, not just the palatable parts.
Once Pete took the bite, Vegas changed the subject just slightly.
"I'm thinking about opening a bar."
