Little demon 15

Stepping into the house, Vegas and Venice met Pete making dinner. He was so engrossed in whatever it was he was doing that and failed to recognize the new presence. Vegas whispered something to Venice who nods his head and begin to tiptoe in Pete's direction. Pete still had no idea he was no longer alone until Venice tickled him on the side. Pete laughed so hard that he almost dropped the spoon.

"You guys are here." Pete lifts Venice onto the countertop but today, he did not kiss the boy like he did all the time. Vegas raised a brow at Pete's action. Wondering what his problem was.

"How was school today?" Venice's face dropped at the question but Vegas was quick to make it to Pete's side, pulling him in for a kiss, while covering the boy's eyes.

Pete pulled away and then looked at Vegas and Venice with his hand on his hip.

"Don't you both have anything to tell me?" Pete raised a brow, looking suspiciously at the two.

Venice quickly pulled Vegas to his side and whispered in his ear. "Daddy, please don't tell Pa, as you promised. Vegas nods at the kid and focused his attention back on Pete who was impatiently waiting for the duo to spill the beans.

"You both seriously think I have no idea what went on at school today huh?" Pete said as he pinched Venice lightly on the nose. Vegas and Venice both had shocked expressions.

Pete just looked at them unbelievably. "The principal called me but I figured you will get there faster Vegas, so I asked her to call you instead. Funny how you both are trying to keep it a secret."

Vegas and Venice couldn't believe they were hiding a secret that Pete already knew about it. The two ended up narrating the whole incident without having any choice.

Pete's expression turned serious and the kid's heart jumped, knowing he was going to get scolded. Pete cupped the kid's face with both hands. "Baby, you know I don't like you getting into trouble right? Your classmate pulled your hair and you ended up hitting him hard in the face? What if he got hurt?" Venice's eyes were starting to tear up as he saw his Pa's expression get serious. "But Pa, I did not start the fight, you know I don't like getting into trouble. He provoked me and that was why I hit him."

Pete hated the idea of Venice using violence.

"I know you did not start the fight but you shouldn't have also used violence as he did. What makes you different from him? What if he hurt you badly? You know I don't like violence Venice, but you went ahead and used one today. Am quite disappointed in you. I never thought you that. You are not having ice cream for a month and the gift your dad and I got for you, will be kept for the time being. Now go up to your room and reflect on your actions.

Venice couldn't control the tears that were welling up in his eyes. He wasn't used to Pete scolding him this way. He just wanted to leave and go up to his room. He immediately got down from the countertop, running to his room with tears threatening to fall.

Vegas who was surprised at Pete's reaction finally speaks. "What the hell was that all about Pete? Was that necessary? And why did you have to scold him like he was the cause of the incident? He was fucking provoked and he retaliated.

"Come on Vegas, we did not raise him to choose violence. That was not how we brought him up."

Vegas still couldn't believe what he was hearing. If he had to go back to the incident, Venice should have punched the boy twice in the face but here Pete was, scolding Venice because he retaliated to a bully.

"I am not going to argue about this with you Pete, but as you can see, you made the boy cry so make sure you fix it," Vegas replied and left Pete in the kitchen, making his way to Venice.
