Love, Vegas(Vegas X Pete)

Part 1: Forgotten Past

Vegas POV

Right now I am recovering from the bullet fire wound. I am able to recover fast because of this one person who always stays by my side. Pete. I don't deserve his love. I have been so rude to him yet he chose to be with me.

"Vegas, how do you feel now?", Pete asked me on entering the room.

I lay down on the pillow in my deep thoughts. I slightly turned to his side to answer his question.

"Feeling better.", I said.

"Good", he acknowledged with a grin.

"I have brought you porridge to eat. Be a good person and just open your mouth when I feed you.", he said in a strict tone.

I didn't respond. He sat by my side and took the porridge in his hand and started to feed it to me.

All I wanted to ask him was "Why?", why he wanted to take care of me like this. I have always been so harsh to him. I have tortured him physically and mentally for more than a month by keeping him in captive. But was he this generous to forgive me for my sins?

"Why?", I blunted out.

"What why?", He asked still holding out the spoon full of porridge towards my mouth.

"Why do you have to do this?", I asked him again.

"Vegas, I like the way you are. I cannot betray myself if I said I don't like to be with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.", he said.

For a minute, I was really shaken. No one has ever said such a word to me like that. Even few had said, like Tawan and a few other, I didn't feel the same like this with them.

I could not stop being so emotional. He sensed I was undergoing a lot in my head, and he kept the porridge aside in the table and came close to me to give me a hug.

"I am so lucky to have you Pete", I finally said.

My loss of my father was really a great disappointment to me and further the consequence of the loss of the second family to the first family is going to be huge. I can guarantee. I have heard stories about how my grandfather, over threw the second family to get the power of the first family and gave it my father and Mr. Korn. The traces of that second family at his time was completely erased out, without any traces. If it was the situation now too, then I and Macau will not have the chances to survive. We would be killed soon.

But right now, all I feel was a comfortable feeling that my love is being with me. And he takes care of me like a child. This is the same care and affection that I have always craved from my mother but she died and after that I have craved from my father, but he never ever cared about us once.

"Here eat like a good boy", again Pete pressed the spoon towards my mouth. I ate them without complaint.

Suddenly Macau came in side pushing the door open. "P'Vegas are you up now. I saw you two hours ago and you were sleeping. Are you better now?", he asked.

"I am good.", I assured him. I could witness the feeling of concern in his face. I want to live to protect both my love and my brother. I have to get cured faster.

"Did you go to school?", I asked him.

"Hmm yeah. Pete said me not to worry about you and pestered me to go to school.", He said.

I turned myself towards Pete and gave a thankful face. He smiled at me and continued, stirring the porridge and fed it to my mouth.

"Doctor said that you could discharge within few days if you are maintaining the same health.", Pete said.
