2 Is Better Than 1

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ sɪx: ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴅɪᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏ?

Pete's POV

I woke up blinking, bright lights blinding me mentally. I could feel wires attached to me, my head feeling like someone hit me five times with a big brick, and what I'm pretty sure was an oxygen mask.

I looked around and saw a long black-haired sleeping figure near me in a chair, my vision was still a little blurry so I couldn't quite recognize who it was.

I slowly pulled myself to sit up with great difficulty but still managed to do it. I removed the mask and sat it on the stand near me. "P'Vegas?" I mumbled as my vision cleared up.

He looked so soft and delicate, the way his face rested as he slept made my heart skip some beats. Why would he save me, he doesn't even know me, he just knows me as some lonely gay depressed loser his brother so happens to be friends with.

I was so deep in thought that I didn't even realize when he started walking near me. "Pete you're up, how do you feel?" I flinched when I heard his voice, I flinched again as I turned around seeing him so close to my face.

I was just staring into his eyes, they were filled with worry and sympathy. I wanted to cry knowing there was someone else who cared, I suddenly felt my eyes travel down to his lips.

They looked so soft and moist that I just wanted to kiss him right then. "Nong Pete?" I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard him call me once more, I cleared my throat looking away embarrassed.

Pete: I'm feeling a little better although my head is hurting like hell, it feels like I was hit in the head multiple times with a big brick!

Vegas: Let me go get the doctor, he said you need medication.

Before I could say anything he left the room, ahh stupid Pete, why did you embarrass yourself like that?

No one's POV

Pete was mentally cursing himself for the embarrassment he caused a few minutes ago, he immediately stopped when he heard the door open!

Doctor: Hello Pete, I'm your doctor... Please tell me everything you're feeling right now!

Pete: Well.....

Time skip

Doctor: After running some tests, I will prescribe the best medication for your condition, you will also have a therapy session every Tuesday and Friday because it's healthy for you to talk to someone other than family at times like this. I recommend not so much junk food but to eat healthy and get your body back to its healthy physical state. Focus on your mental and physical health daily, and try to go out and see the world a little. These are just some things you can do to get your body back to its old self. Take this piece of paper and don't lose it, it has all the medication and when to take them on it. According to all the test results, you should be able to get discharged today but I'll run a few more just to be sure.

(I wrote this paragraph so big because whenever I go to the doctor, they talk for a ridiculously amount of time! Like I understand it's important but they be dragging it sometimes 😭)

The doctor gave Vegas the paper and excused himself, he folded the paper and put it in his pocket. Pete just stared up at the ceiling.

Pete: Why......did you save me?

Vegas was caught off guard by the question, it was so straightforward and he didn't know how to answer. "Uhh... Um!" Vegas was stuttering, the words wouldn't come out.

Vegas: I think because I saw younger Macau through you and it made me want to protect you. Macau wasn't close to how you are now but he still struggled a lot.

Vegas didn't wanna tell Pete the real reason, he himself was confused with his feelings. He was never serious with anyone because they were only after his money after seeing his living situation. Vegas wanted to be serious with Pete, he didn't know where this sudden feeling came from.

Pete: You really shouldn't waste your life on me. I'm useless! I'm a broken doll ready to be toyed with! I'm a scared little boy who lets everyone walk all over him and take advantage of him! I don't deserve anything! I only deserve to die.

Vegas: Pete, stop! You are more than enough! Even if you don't see it, some people care about you. You are not useless. You deserve the whole world and Macau and I are willing to give it to you.

Pete: I'm just gonna go to sleep!!

Pete didn't feel like talking anymore, it's not that he didn't want to talk or hear Vegas out but his words really put a dent in Pete's heart. Those words were supposed to make him feel happy but instead, they hurt him.

These were words Pete wanted to hear from his parents, his dad was embarrassed by him ever since he was born, and his mother was that loving parent who did everything with him but it all changed as Pete got older. She never showed Pete affection unless they were in public, even when family came over she would be loving.

It seemed like they were that perfect little family but in reality, they were a broken home, they only cared about reputation. He forced himself not to cry and closed his eyes to sleep. "What did you do Pete?" is all Vegas could think of!!
