I Choose You [VegasPete]

Chapter 11 : Us Against the World

"Arm. Can you help me to search Vegas in this damn house?"

"What?"

"Please search if Vegas is still in this house with CCTV."

"Oh, please Pete. I'm not even in the control room yet, I'm still in my bed."

"Please."

"Ugh. You know I will do whatever it is if you beg me like that."

Pete smiles. He can always rely on his best friend, Arm. He's always reliable and kind. He waits for Arm's confirmation for that damn long thirty minutes. He sits fidgeting in his bed, ignoring the pain he feels in his ankle from that fell before. He holds the rose and Vegas' letter tightly in his hands.

Pete prepares himself if Arm will tell him that Vegas isn't in this house anymore. And Pete is pretty much sure he will drive one of the main family's cars to find Vegas in the minor family house and will regret this decision later, because it's obviously so reckless. But he can't help himself, he feels so much panic that is not so him, due to Vegas' absence by his side this morning.

So the confirmation he waits makes him feel the wave of relief when Arm says that CCTV spots Vegas in the indoor swimming pool he usually uses for training.

For fuck sake, he hates Vegas for this!

Pete rushes out from his bedroom to the said place Arm told him before.

When he reaches there, he sees that the oldest man from the minor family is having his morning swim alone, there is no one here. Pete really wants to smack his head for this.

Pete stands there for almost five minutes waiting for that man, Vegas seems to not notice his arrival because he keeps swimming nonchalantly. Pete, out of his patience, starts to take off his shirt and pants, leaves him with his boxer only and joins the man in the swimming pool.

Pete is always one of the best swimmers between the bodyguards, he swims fastly, catches the man who is already in the middle of this huge swimming pool. Vegas only starts noticing his appearance when they are so close.

"Pete?"

Pete comes out from the water and pushes Vegas to the side of the swimming pool when their feets can reach the floor before they start to talk.

"You know." Pete starts to open his mouth when they reach the side, he locks Vegas in between his hands and the pool's wall behind Vegas body. He looks Vegas at the eye. "I hate it so much when I wake up and there is no you on my side."

Vegas is confused with Pete's anger for one second, the next second he looks at Pete with fire in his eyes. Pete just rolls his eyes seeing that.

"You look so sexy when you are mad."

Pete snorts. "I hate you."

Vegas smirks. "Liar."

Pete drops down his hands that lock Vegas' body and plans to get out of the water, but Vegas is faster. He turns Pete's body and now Pete is the one who is locked between Vegas' hands and pool's wall. "I want to kiss you."

Pete raises his eyebrow to Vegas and looks at him seductively. "Kiss me, then."

Vegas replies with a teasing eye. "Your friend might see our morning make out session from there." Vegas directs Pete's attention to the CCTV on the corner with his eyes. "His name is Arm, right? And thanks to our special connection to our other version of reality, I know that the man likes you for so long Pete."

"But the one I like is you."

Pete smiles at him and that's enough reason for Vegas to close their gap and kisses Pete like he wants to stop their time for this moment only. Their short little time.
