"I do. Tankhun went through a phase where he would only allow himself to be shaved with them so we had to learn fast how to use them. I got really good with it."
It was how he'd learned most of his more random skills that he had. The whims of his former employer. Either you learned how to do the thing fast or you suffered for it. It was now amazing how fast he could pick up on random skills that were completely unnecessary in every day life.
"Oh." He sounded a little disappointed. It really was such a random skill to have. Vegas had it because of his interest in blades. The one random interest his father allowed him to pursue because it had the potential to be useful.
"I should tell you though that they do actually have safety razors here. Even if they're not what you're used to."
Honestly, Vegas and Kinn were so hopeless. They were so used to all these conveniences that they had no idea what was even around. At least for Vegas he got the excuse of being stuck in bed. Kinn though?
Oh Kinn.
"But, if you want I can make sure that you can shave me with a straight razor."
"Well I am getting scratchy. So later I'll go out and get what we need and you can make sure that goes away. No one else would be able to the right close shave," he decided right then and there, even rubbing his hand over his face a bit.
"Mm, later." For now, he just wanted to lay there with Pete and forget about the world beyond their door. Just like before, a tiny world with just the two of them.
"Later," he agreed and moved so he could press a kiss to his jaw. Then he was nuzzling into him again, breathing in the scent of him as he threw a leg over one of Vegas'. Glued to his side was probably the most accurate description of him right about now. "I'm too comfy with you to go anywhere yet."
Glued to Vegas' side is exactly where Vegas wanted him to be. He was happy to have Pete in his arms, their legs tangled together. Soon, he hoped, Pete could drape across him without it being an issue. But for now, this was enough. Whatever he could get of Pete was enough. And yet never enough.
After years of working for the main family luxuries like this had been rare. So taking advantage of it? He was very ready for it. So he snuggled his way into being more comfortable and closed his eyes. It would be nice when Vegas was back to normal. Maybe that magic that Wen Qing had would help. He had no idea but he looked forward to it.
Being back to normal would be lovely. Being able to move without having to consciously think it through would be amazing. Of all the things Vegas took for granted, movement was the one he never thought he'd miss most. Vegas turned his head and nuzzled against Pete's hair.
Hearing those words are all he needs to start drifting off again. Dreaming of Vegas and all the times they'll have together. It's honestly a silly dream that is just them having a cute date at some cafe but that was just because he'd watched way too many romantic shows with Tankhun when he'd been his bodyguard.
Still, it was nice and made him smile in his sleep. Getting to be next to Vegas all the time now to sleep? Definitely the best.
It's only a little longer until Vegas drifted off to sleep. It wasn't aches and pains that kept him awake, but a simple, selfish desire to enjoy Pete laying as close to him as he possibly could. The way his face relaxed and that sweet smile. When he did finally fall asleep, it was the most restful he'd had in days.
