    There is always something further below, waiting to rise. But those standing too high, they can only fall.

    Summary

    Vegas lays him on a patch of firm ground. From his cocoon, Pete hears the rhythmic thud of a shovel sinking into loose earth.
    Vegas is digging him a grave.
    --

    Summary

    “You should hit me,” Vegas says.
    Even blind he knows he’s struck something, because the words hang like blood in the air. They snake back down his throat and settle in his lungs with a wet, heavy rightness that Vegas hasn’t felt all night. It would all be okay, he thinks, if Pete hit him. It wouldn’t remove him from his body; it would center him. And Pete’s fists can remold him better, punish him, free him from the filthy guilt-ridden jumble of what he is. They have before.
    Vegas lifts his cheek and braces his jaw to take the blow.
    --
    In which Vegas comes home drunk and speedruns setting off emotional landmines.

    Summary

    When Vegas is handed the keys to a failing major family hotel and told to bring it back to life, he knows it’s not a gift, or a test, or even an opportunity to prove himself. It’s a taunt. It’s a way to set him up for failure so everyone can rub his nose in the shitshow he’s left with, defeated and inferior to his cousins like always. It’s the death sentence of his pride in a gilded cage.

    But misery loves company and all that, and he finds a surprisingly fitting cellmate in an unassuming looking employee named Pete. Now if only he could get Pete to stop playing hard to get, this cage could become a lot more comfortable.

    Summary

    “I’m not going to give you information,” Pete volunteers to his bent over form. There’s no way to know exactly what’s in store for him but Pete feels the need to make that declaration.

    There’s a sharp zapping sound, and Vegas turns to face him then, revealing the jumper cables in his gloved hands which are connected to a car battery on the table behind him. The rest seems self-explanatory.

    “I don’t want information,” Vegas says, finally looking up at him from the cables.

    By then Vegas is already advancing on him, much too close for comfort. But Pete has already resigned himself at this point.

     

    Or the one where Pete is very uncooperative at being tortured, Vegas gets a little too creative and falls for his own trap in the worst way possible.

    Summary

    Pete knew that breaking up with Vegas was the worst idea he'd ever had.

    He didn’t even know why he was ending a five-year long relationship out of nowhere; he couldn’t make sense of himself or the tension boiling over. It seemed the only way to disperse it was to leave. He just needed some time. He was going to explode. He didn’t even know what the problem was. Everything with Vegas was perfect, so why couldn’t Pete be happy?

    When Pete said he wanted space, Vegas was supposed to know it was a lie. When Pete left in the middle of the night, Vegas was supposed to drag him back him home, like a lost dog waiting for his owner. When Pete broke his heart, Vegas was supposed to know that Pete still loved him.

    … It was lonely, without him.

    Summary

    “Are you happy, Pete?”
    It hits him like a punch to the gut, for some reason. His stomach swirls with it. He didn’t think that he wasn’t happy until he was asked. No one had asked before.
    “I’m… not unhappy,” he says, “I’m comfortable. I’m used to things there.” All of that is true. How things are is as good as it can get, and he doesn’t feel much about it. There would be no point, as he cannot change anything. Besides, things have certainly been worse for him before.

    Pete grows up in the main family's house.

    Summary

    Kim feels like that now.  He doesn't know how to say to Chay that being pushed to talk throws him back into being a traumatized nine year-old.  He relied on Kinn and Khun to interpret for him all those years ago and Kinn was always the best at it, and now he doesn’t have Kinn.

    Chay hesitates.  “P’Khun told me P’Kinn didn’t come to coffee,” he says, and Kim nods.  “I thought if you were upset about it, you’d ask me to come over, but...”

    Kim shrugs again.  He was so upset, and he did want Chay, but…  “I wasn’t ready to talk about it,” he mumbles.  If Chay came over, it would have been a conversation, Kim knows it.

    --

    Kim figures out how to communicate with the people he cares about. Kinn makes sense of his relationship with his father.

    Summary

    “Tonight I killed three people.”
    Pete gulps, the whole world shifting suddenly into narrow focus.
    “How did you do it?” It surprises even himself when that’s the first question he asks.

    Summary

    “If I had to rate you?” Pete pauses and tilts his head with a low hum, considering. “I dunno, a six out of ten? I thought you were a sadist, but you didn’t really give that impression. Are you actually kinky? That didn’t feel kinky. It didn’t do it for me.”

    Vegas looks like someone punched him. Hard. His cock is still out and his hair is rumpled and he looks devastatingly disheveled, like Pete was the one who just took Vegas apart and not the other way around.

    “I’d worry that it was just a fluke,” Pete continues, ignoring Vegas’s flabbergasted sputters, “but I also don’t think I’d give you a second time to prove me wrong.” Pete shrugs and fixes his shirt, petting back his hair. “Anyway, see you around.”


    Or a fic in which Vegas fucks through all of Kinn’s bodyguards and lands on Pete, but Pete uno reverses it on Vegas leaving Vegas wanting so much more. Vegas gets humiliated and has to work for it.

    Summary

    Suddenly Kinn can’t bear to go back to his life just yet, to be escorted upstairs in a glass elevator by well-trained guards in black suits, wearing the mask of the main family heir because everyone in the compound is watching him.

    It feels like madness, but he grabs Porsche’s hand and runs.

    Summary

    “You know the rules, then?” Kinn asks.

    Porsche looks amused, like he can tell how badly Kinn wants to wreck his composure. “No kissing, no marks on you, bubble bath first,” Porsche recites easily. “I read your notes file.”

    Kinn is almost certain Porsche isn’t supposed to tell him the escort agency keeps a notes file.

    (or, an AU in which Kinn requests an escort for the night, and gets Porsche.)

    “Is it better than it was?” Pete asks. He blows a stream of white smoke into the heavy night air.

    “Is what better?”

    Pete shrugs. “Any of it. Does the power make it worth it?”

    Porsche laughs. “I’ll let you know as soon as I start to feel powerful.”
