Honey Like

Chapter 4

It's been a week since Venice started daycare and it's been a lot easier than Vegas had expected, of course he still misses him most of the time but Pete's little updates and pictures give his mind some peace, especially since things in business have been rough and it's taking up most of his time, but knowing that Venice is safe and having a good time takes away from the stress, and he has Pete to thank for that,

the guy would always find his way to Vegas's mind throughout the day, and before he knows it he finds himself thinking about Pete, his smile, his giggles, his dimples, his soft appearance, his fluffy hair, his- "Vegas!" Kinn's loud voice pulled Vegas out of his mind Palace, "Huh! What what is it?" "I've been calling you for 2 minutes now what are you thinking about??" Vegas fixed his position and cleared his throat "Nothing, I just zoned out, do you need something?"

Kinn gave him the 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥 look but didn't push it, "Porsche called, he's free this afternoon so he offered to pick up venice since you're busy, he said he misses him" vegas nodded "aah okay, I was actually going to ask him to, Nop is also busy here and I can't trust anyone else with venice" he explained going through some papers in front of him, "Mmm right, but why do I have a feeling that that is changing" "what the fuck does that mean??" "I'm talking about Venice's teacher, Pete, you seem to get along well" Kinn leaned in his chair with a teasing look on his face, "well, he's nice, and Venice loves him" "Venice loves Tankhun too but you won't let him near him," "That's cause your brother is a lunatic," "yeah I'm sure that's the reason,"

Before he could answer, vegas's phone vibrated, "Speaking of the devil," Kinn said with a grin, "shut up," vegas opened his messages and as expected it was Pete,

There were some pictures of Venice as well as a short clip of him explaining the painting with much enthusiasm, Vegas couldn't help the wide smile on his face, and it got wider when the next clip was sent, in which Venice was smudging paint on the giggling Pete's face,

Pete felt something inside him twisting, he was looking forward to seeing Vegas since he didn't drop Venice in the morning either, so he felt an overwhelming disappointment washing over him. Pete found himself in Vegas's car a lot more often than he intended to for the past week, somehow the father and son would always find a way to get him in the vehicle and drive him home, sometimes they would stop for ice cream and have small talks till the sun sets, and Pete can't deny that he's getting attached to the two.

He put his phone away and went to Venice, "Let's go get you cleaned messy kitten" he carried him to the restroom and started cleaning his hands and face, his fingers slightly brushing against the scar on Venice's forehead, it looked neither old nor new but it's definitely permanent, he noticed it the first day but didn't say anything, and he still won't, tho curiosity does creep to his mind from time to time, and it seems like he's not the only one, "Khun pete ouchie?" Venice asked with a tilted head and wide eyes, his little finger pointing at Pete's long scar on his arm, the only visible one, and he seemed a bit scared so Pete took his hands in his and smiled softly,
