Vegas
After a week Pete was finally getting discharged. We ate breakfast in the hospital and now we're finally driving to our new home that Pete has no idea about. "Pete I have a surprise for you but you have to promise me that you're not gonna get mad because this is important for us" I say and Pete looks at me nervously "what surprise? Vegas you know I don't like surprise's they make me anxious!" I chuckle at his words because I knew he would say that "I know you do but I wanted you to see it in person" Pete still looks nervous and looks at me annoyed, "but still! I'm just really nervous, I actually feel like throwing and you know I hate throwing up!" He whined and I looked at him smiling at how dramatic he's being right "ok calm down Pete it's not something bad it's something really special for both of us" Pete looks at me both excitement and nervousness on his face. "Ok close your eyes we're almost there" "why would I close my eyes?" I roll my eyes "because that's how surprises work you're supposed to close your eyes" "fine whatever" he shrugs and closes his eyes. We arrive in front of our house, it's not too big because I knew if I went over the top Pete wouldn't accept it, that's truly how he is, he feels guilty when people do things for him, or buy things for him and I feel bad that he feels like that because he truly deserves this and I hope he knows that. I help Pete out of the car while holding his waist so he doesn't hurt himself, "ok now start walking slowly" "Vegas if I slam into something I'm gonna kill you" I laugh at his words and I know he'd roll his eyes at me if they were open "don't worry I got you, don't you trust me Pete?" I fake a sad voice "shut up Vegas and look in front of you" he knew I was looking at him because every time I talk I look directly into his eyes, it's a habit for me now I just really love him. "Ok we're here just one moment" I reach into my pockets and get the key for the door, "ok step up and go in" I tell Pete and he does that "Vegas where are we?" Pete questions with his eyes still closed "you can open your eyes now" he opens them and looks around confused "why are we in a house? Were you pranking me by saying you got me a a gift?" He looks at me annoyed, yes I prank him sometimes but this is very much not a prank. "No Pete this isn't a prank" "ok then where's my gift?" He starts looking around for his "gift" "look around Pete, do you like it here?" "What do you mean?" He questions "I mean the house" He looks at me confused but then realization hits him "No you didn't, really? Did you buy this house Vegas?" I nod at him "I bought it for us Pete, it's ours" I smile at him but my face drops as I see tears falling from his eyes, I go to his side and hug him, "Why're you crying Pete?" I caress his hair because he said it comforts him when I do that, so I've been doing it a lot lately. "It's just...I feel like I don't don't deserve this Vegas" I shake my head "Pete you deserve this and more" "how did you buy it? Wasn't it too expensive?" My face drops again when he mentions that, I asked my dad, well not really asked I begged him and I've never begged him before so he was really shocked when I got down on my knees and begged him for money so I could buy a house, I never wanted to ask that shit for anything but I did it for Pete, he gave me the money but said a lot of shit about how I probably know I'm a piece of shit that can't afford anything, I really wanted to run to Pete but I knew he was going through a lot so I just drank again, but I don't tell Pete the truth because I don't want him to turn it down "I had money in my savings Pete, my dads rich remember?" I say sarcastically and he rolls his eyes at me, "so do you like it" I ask, nervous because i really want him to like it, "of course I like it Vegas, it's beautiful and cozy but-"no buts Pete it's ours now" I cut him off before he says he doesn't deserve it because he truly does. "Thank you Vegas, thank you so much" his eyes tear up again and I hug him "your welcome my love" He laughs "your so cute" he says "oh really?" I tease "people usually say I'm hot" "well I think you're cute Vegas" "only cute, so you don't think I'm hot?" I pretend to be offended and he laughs. "So where's our bedroom?" He looks around "are you in that much of a hurry Pete" I wink at him and he blushes but acts annoyed "stop with the jokes you dirty minded asshole! I just wanted to look at it" I laugh and walk up to our room while he follows me. We look around the room and Pete's smile never disappears which makes me happy, "you like it?" I question and he nods his head quickly "I love it" his eyes are shining and I feel at my happiest in this moment I don't ever want to leave this moment. "I'm happy you like it Pete" He faces me and smiles "so this is our home now? We'll be living in a forever!" I laugh and nod my head.
