Use Me, Darling

Part 77

After the two boys had eaten, they brought back the plates to Achara. For a bit they stumbled through the apartment before they were able to find the kitchen. Achara and Ohm both were sitting in it sipping on a cup of coffee. "Thank you. It was delicious." Tay smiled friendly as he placed the dishes in the sink to some others that hadn't been washed yet. "I am glad, Khun Tay. Khun Vegas, we were just talking about what we are supposed to do now." Achara had pulled out tow more chairs for Tay and Vegas to sit on. Vegas nodded. He didn't really know what he was supposed to do now as well. "If it is fine with you, I would like Tay to stay here. We know that he can't go back to his place. He will end up in the basement again and who knows what his father and Time are going to put him through when he returns." Vegas had waited till Tay had taken a seat, before he himself sat down at the table. "Of course, he can stay here. But that isn't a solution to the problem, isn't it?" Ohm had said what everyone at the table was thinking in their heads. "Yes. It isn't." Vegas admitted. "I... I need some more time." "For what?" Tay questioned as soon as Vegas was done speaking. Vegas swallowed. "I am going to gather my man. Maybe I can convince my father, that he is going to work with us..." "Maybe? Khun Vegas, your father will never agree to help you two." Achara was right, the chances that Vegas father would agree were basically zero. But Vegas wanted to try at least. "Achara is right, Vegas you barely could convince him the last time. How are you supposed to do it this time?" "I know Tay. I am just going to try. However, I am going to get our people behind me. There may be paid by my father, but I have had the led upon them in most missions they have done. I probably can convince most of them to gather behind me. I need people. I need people that are ready to fight and go to war. It is inevitable. We are going to war. The only question is, who is going to join in?" Vgeas took a deep breath. He had thought about a thousand different constellations that this could play out. He may be capable to take down Time and Tay's father with the force he can gather behind him. But if Kinn joins in with his man, there was no chance to victory. Even if it would just be Kinn's against Vegas men, the outcome wouldn't be predictable. "You are probably able to get at least half of them behind you. Most of them are not happy with your father style of doing things. However, they also know, that you can be just as terrible." Achara admitted. Right, that was something that Vegas liked to forget about. He had been just as if not even more terrible and brutal as his father had been. "Well maybe they fear me enough to join forces with me." Vegas just shrugged with his shoulders. He needed people to work with and the forces of his father were the only people he would be able to get. Tay had stayed quite. Achara was right, Vegas had been a person that always achieved what he wanted, and if that meant doing to most brutal things one could imagine he would have done that. "Anyway, without knowing how many people are going to stand behind me, I can't plan further. I need to go back and do whatever it takes to convince them. Till then Tay needs to stay here. He needs to stay safe. I will try to stay in close contact to you. It is only a matter of time until Time will try to go against me." Vegas swallowed. Before nodding to himself. At any moment Time could stand in front of his door and burn down his place. He needed to be quick if he wanted to have a chance against him. "You should go Vegas. You have no time to waste." Tay looked up with teary eyes. He didn't want Vegas to go again. If it was up to Tay, he would run away with Vegas. Just to another country and live in a small village until they both died happily having one another. But that was only one of his dreams. He knew that it wouldn't work. That they needed to fight if they wanted to stay together. People would die because of them, and others will lose everything they have. But what else were they supposed to do? "I know Darling. Please take good care of him. I can't lose him." Vegas stood up gently placed a kiss on Tays lips before nodding to Achara and Ohm as a form of saying goodbye. "We will Khun." And with that Vegas was gone again. Tay felt terrible. He was helpless and weak. The only thing he was able to do, was to wait. But he didn't want to just sit around and hope that everything turned out alright. He wanted to be the leader that Vegas was. He wanted to gather troupes behind him and lead along side Vegas into this war. He wanted to fight with him side by side and not sit around hidden till the last person had dropped dead. Filled with anger and frustration about his self he went back to the room he had slept in. Crawling into the covers to hide from the world.
