"You come again."

Vegas closes the door and turns around to see Pete look at him straight.

"I promise I will come every night, right? You don't want to see me in your dream anymore?"

After that night, Vegas came to this place every single night. It's already been one week. He helped Porsche in the daylight to investigate the death of his parents that was linked to his own father and Kinn's father. Every single day Porsche's trust has been declining to the main family, and it really frustrated him. Vegas didn't really want to involve too much in that problem, he just wanted to help as much as he could. So Porsche could also help him to visit Pete every night.

That's it.

He suspected that somehow Kinn knew that Vegas came to Pete's room every day but maybe Porsche talked to him about Pete's condition that made that second son of the main family not really do anything to execute him -yet. And yes, Pete's condition is getting better. He can eat more now, he also seems more relaxed and in peace -according to Porsche.

"What do you bring today?" Pete asks while eyeing Vegas' left hand.

"Curry."

"Hmmm... my favorite."

Vegas walks to the kitchen mini counter and puts the curry and the rice he brought to a bowl. Pete loves his food mixed. He comes back to Pete after not too long and gives the food to the man who looks at his food excitedly.

"How was your day, Vegas?" Pete asks him a question while munching on his food. Vegas reaches his corner of lips and wipes some curry sauce there.

"It's okay." Vegas smiles. "How's yours?"

"Khun Noo came here today and brought me outside. He forced me to walk to the hospital garden. He said that I need some fresh air. It was nice." Pete stops talking and swallows his food. Pete is always a messy eater, it's cute tho. "I can see you right now, it's also nice."

Pete gives him a faint smile but Vegas' heart hurts when he hears Pete's words. He really doesn't deserve this. "Why do you want to see me in your dream? Why is it nice to see me in your dream?"

Pete tilts his head and answers Vegas' question nonchalantly, "Maybe I don't hate you as much as you think I do." Pete's voice is getting serious right now. He looks at Vegas in the eye, his eye is so deep and contains so many emotions that Vegas can't read one by one. "Maybe there is a part of me that longs to see you. Maybe there is also a part of me that has already forgiven you."

"People said that dreams are a reflection of our true feelings." Pete added while back to munch his food. "So Vegas, have you ever dreamed about me?"

To be very honest Pete, I dreamed about you a lot.

"Yes."

"Mind to tell what I am doing in your dream?"

Vegas throws his eye to the view outside the big window in this room. The dream he is about to tell Pete was a dream he had right after Pete left him alone in the safe house. A very good dream that broke Vegas more when he woke up to find it's not a reality.

"I once dreamed about us living together, not here in Thailand, but in some quiet places and a snowy one. I can see the view of Alps Mountain. Maybe we live together in Switzerland. We have two cats and five golden fishes. We name it after your favorite superhero characters."

Pete seems interested. "Are we happy?"

"Yes, we are."

"Are we growing old together?" There is a faint sadness in Pete's voice so Vegas throws his gaze back to Pete.
