THIS parallel is making the fandom CRAZY and Iām no different. Iāve been thinking about this since Saturday. āKissing is for people we like onlyā oh???? Really Pete? Thatās so nice for you to say.
The thing about this is: everyone is going crazy about how Pete initiated the kiss but thatās not even the important part - he initiated A kiss!
Vegas says ālet it outā. He teases Pete to make sure he wants him, he teases Pete because heās upset and he doesnāt want to take what Pete doesnāt want to give because āfor a guy like you, itās not fun if you donāt give inā
BUT āGIVING INā DOESNT INHERENTLY MEAN KISS
Of COURSE Vegas wanted to kiss Pete and wanted to be kissed back. He had already kissed Pete before! But if it was just sexual attraction bringing Pete in, he could have set a limit. He could have been like Kinn: āIāll give in to you because Iām horny and I want you, but we are not going to kiss because kissing is for people I like onlyā
YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE?!?!??!??
They could have fucked and had all that bdsm shit and done all they did just the same if Pete had been vocal and said āYes, I want you, but I donāt like you, so we are not going to kiss again because last time you stole it and I donāt kiss who I donāt likeā. BUT THATS NOT WHAT HE DID! He went in for a KISS! A KISS!!!! He wanted to KISS Vegas because ākissing is for people we like onlyā, and guess what, he likes Vegas! He does!
So many other people have analyzed why and how the series is perfect at showcasing that Pete likes Vegas and the reasons as to why he does, but I havenāt seen anyone talking about THIS parallel in detail.
Pete didnāt have to kiss Vegas to give in. He could have been clear and set a limit. But he didnāt want a limit. He wanted everything.
And if Iām being honest, I bet he was even a bit surprised at how gentle Vegas was with him, how much he worshipped him and made him feel good.
And they kept kissing during sex so⦠I guess he really likes Vegas <3
