“Take off your clothes,” Vegas said. Pete tensed, eyes widening, flashing to all the rumors about Vegas’s – appetites. Whatever look was on his face made Vegas laugh.

💀:

“I heard Khun Korn talking,” he said. “And it’s obviously a trap.” “One that you’re telling me about,” Vegas said. “You, the loyal main family bodyguard.” There was something bitter in the way he said loyal that made Pete’s stomach hurt.

um.... yeah haha!! of course uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

this was supposed to be a birthday gift but then I wrote an outline and it was 5000+ words so i've just kind of been chipping away at it since.

I already posted a bit of this for a "last line" thing so let me find another bit!

Vegas hums, and the hand in his hair tightens into a fist.  “Good,” he says in response to Pete’s happy sigh, “Then we’ll start.”  The weight next to Pete shifts until it settles behind him, the click of a bottle opening loud as a gunshot in the anticipatory quiet. 

Happy Holidays to the lovely suzteel! I hope you like this because I really enjoy the way it turned out!

Hospital Reflections

Macau hadn’t needed to take care of anything in his entire life.

Vegas had always been there, looking after him, fixing things, and making sure his life was the best it could be while being trapped with their father.

But now, he had to be the grown-up. He had to take care of his big brother, and he had to take care of his big brother’s…Pete. He wasn’t sure what Pete was to his brother or what Vegas was to Pete. All he knew was that Pete had been the first one there with Vegas at the hospital, and he had hardly left since. Only when Macau could push him to get something to eat or find somewhere real to sleep.

Macau watched as Pete brushed strands of hair from Vegas’ face gently. Vegas stirred a little at the touch. The movement was a recent development that had been delighting them both. A good sign that he might come out of it without too much brain damage.

24. What is something that you’re wanting to learn right now?

My giffing is so so simple - I would love to learn how to blend together gifs, and to use layer masks. I just haven’t had been able to really sit down and teach myself anything new at the moment. Though I did learn how to create actions recently, which was an accomplishment!
