Vegas closed the bedroom door slowly taking one last look at the sleeping figures of his son and lover lying on the bed, his heart finally settling down and the feeling of safety washing over him again. he went to sit by the pool in the backyard to clear his mind and go through the information he just received, he stood up taking his phone out of his pocket and called Nop, "yes Khun Vegas?" "I need you to watch Pete and Venice in the upcoming days, don't let Time get near them again understand?" " yes khun," "and don't let Pete see you, I don't want him to feel uncomfortable," "I understand khun,"

He hung up and called Kinn, "Vegas wtf it's 1 am-" "It was Pete, the guy from the accident, I just found out today," there was a long silence on the other end and what sounded like shifting and door closing, "sorry Porsche is asleep I don't want to wake him up. But holly shit Vegas, does Pete know?" "Yeah, he told me," "fuck...how did he take it?" Vegas sighed remembering Pete's awful state, "Not well, not well at all, but he's fine now, I think...I hope," "This is so fucked up, and how are you taking it?" Vegas thought for a while,

"I honestly don't know, but there's one thing I want to do first thing tomorrow, I want to send a little warning letter to Time," "Time? What does he have to do with this?" "He's the little rat who dug in our private matter and got the accident report," "He's the one who told him!?" "Yes," "Son of a bitch, leave the warning to me, you have a meeting tomorrow you should focus on that, and then maybe take the rest of the day off," "Mmm, I might," Vegas took a deep breath and sat down again,

"Pete thinks I will blame him for the accident," "Oh...you won't?" "Of course I won't! Pete got in an accident with my father and son and he saved my Venice, that's all I think of this matter, I will never blame him for it," Vegas said with a harsh tone, "okay okay I understand, sorry you are just...unpredictable," "the thing is, I know he's still blaming himself, and I want him to understand and believe that he's not at fault in any of it," "I see, just try to stay by his side and reassure him, I'm sure he will be okay, he just needs time, the news must've been too heavy on him," "yeah you're right," "anyway I have to go, keep me updated okay, see you tomorrow," "Mm, good night,"

Pete kept falling in and out of sleep until he finally gave up and decided to leave the bed, vegas's side was empty so he went to look around for him after he made sure Venice was fast asleep, he headed downstairs and noticed the door to the pool open so he went outside to find vegas sitting and staring at the sky, he was about to walk to him when he turned around and smiled at him softly, "Hy, come here," he said extending his hand to Pete who walked to him and sat in his lap comfortably, vegas wrapped his arms around his body and kissed his neck,

"Couldn't sleep?" Vegas asked while his fingers were running through Pete's hair, "Mm, I can't stop thinking," he mumbled burying his entire body in Vegas's embrace deeper, taking in his overwhelming scent, "It's alright, I'm here, you can rest now, is Venice asleep?" "Yeah, He was so clingy I barely managed to free myself from his little hands," Vegas laughed slightly, "He becomes like that when he's distressed," "Yeah, I know," Pete looked at Vegas meeting his eyes, "I wasn't thinking of leaving you two vegas, I would never think of that, I was just...scared,"

Vegas cupped his face so tenderly and put a kiss on his forehead, he pulled away and looked at him with a smile, "I know, no need to explain anything, Let's just move on from those painful memories, and focus on what we have now, I will protect you and Venice with my life, you just have to trust me pete, okay?" Pete nodded and hugged him again taking a deep breath and surrendering to his exhaustion, he closed his eyes focusing only on Vegas's gentle pats and caressing,

"Do you know why I fell in love with you Pete?" Vegas said still soothing Pete to sleep, "Why?" Pete answered with the very little consciousness left in him, "Well, you are smart, funny, and so so gorgeous, you look adorable when you're jealous but a bit scary too, and you are so okay with the fact that I'm a mafia leader that it concerns me a little bit," Pete laughed and hugged him tighter, " I actually find it very cool," "exactly, you're the first person who saw more than that part of me and looked past it even, you allowed me to be myself around and that's something I've forgotten how to do years ago,

the majority of people around me are either scared of me or hate me, I never thought that there was a heart out there capable of loving me so purely and that I would carry the same amount of love in mine to someone, you and Venice filled my heart with love and now my life is complete and perfect," "Mmm, I love you," Pete mumbled with his last remaining consciousness before he let sleep take him away, vegas kissed his forehead "I love you too," then he stood up and carried him to the bedroom.

Vegas woke up in the morning to an empty bed and before he could panic his eyes fell on the little note placed on the pillow, " 𝑾𝒆'𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒇𝒂𝒔𝒕, 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒙𝒐𝒙𝒐" he folded the note and put it in his bedside drawer, he freshened up and went downstairs to be met with his lovely pair, "Don't pour it all just half of it," "okay" Pete and Venice were making what looked like pancake mixture, "Good job! Let me give you a kiss," Pete kissed the little boy earning a few giggles from him. vegas was watching them with the widest smile on his face,  wishing he could freeze time in this moment, and promising himself to protect them no matter what it takes.

"Daddy up!" Venice screamed after he finally noticed his father's presence, "Good morning little monster," he walked to them and gave venice a kiss, "Good morning baby," he said wrapping his arms around Pete from the back, "Good morning sleepy head hehe," vegas rested his head on Pete's shoulder watching, Venice was sitting on the kitchen island giving Pete the ingredient, "what are you making?" "Pancakes!" Venice answered cheerfully, and Pete followed, "he woke up craving them like crazy! we had a cooking class recently and he enjoyed it a lot! So he insisted on helping me with the pancakes," "Venice help Papa," "Venice is a good boy," Vegas ruffled the boy's hair and kissed Pete on the cheek before he pulled away, "I will go make the table," "okay,"

Venice was sitting on Pete's lap during breakfast, he was being fed by him while yapping about random stuff, "Venice you can sit in your chair don't make Papa struggle," Vegas said but to his surprise, it was Pete who protested, "Did I complain to you Khun vegas!?" He said hugging his baby closer, "But he's perfectly capable of eating on his own don't baby him," "He's my baby of course I'm gonna baby him!" "I'm Papa's baby!" Venice said clinging to Pete even more, "Look at this little kitten! Are you enjoying this?" "Yeah! hehehe" Venice was giggling hidden in Pete's arms,

"how come he loves you more than me?" Vegas asked amusingly confused, "he doesn't, he just likes to feel spoiled like any other kid," Pete said squishing the life out of his son, "Venice love daddy and papa," "That's right now go to Daddy and start getting ready, papa will do the dishes real quick and follow," "okaaay," Venice opened his little arms to vegas who picked him up and kissed his cheek, "let's go kitten,".

Pete went upstairs to Venice's bedroom where the two father and son were already done getting ready, "Pa! Venice and Daddy matchy! " Venice screamed cheerfully showing his outfit that matched Vegas's, he was wearing a blue teddy bear sweater and white overalls, while Vegas was looking 'extra hot', Pete thought, in his white trousers and dark blue shirt, "Oh my God you two look so adorable! Hold on I need to take a picture," "Papa matchy too??" "Of course baby hold on I will get dressed now," "okay we will wait for you in the car," Vegas said and headed downstairs with Venice,

Pete finished getting ready, he wore white trousers and a blue T-shirt to match the others, he carried his bags and went downstairs where Vegas and Venice were waiting for him by the car, both wearing sunglasses and an attitude, "Look at those little sunglasses!" Pete said  melting at the adorable scene, "Venice is cool like daddy," Pete took him in his arms lovingly, "You have all the time in the world to be cool but now, you are my cute baby, okay?" Venice pretended to think for a while and answered, "Okay! Venice is cute like Papa now, but I will be cool like Daddy when I'm big," "That's right baby," Pete kissed him and the three got in their seats and left to start another day.
