Work Text:
1)
Pete stares at the packets in front of him for a few more seconds before pulling out his phone.
He squeezes it a little tighter in his hand for a moment. He should Google this. Or go ask someone in the store.
But that doesn’t feel right.
He’s lost and a little confused and he wants Porsche.
Pete closes his eyes and takes a few deep breaths before opening them again. He pulls up his message thread with Porsche.
Hey, weird question
Have you ever had to buy anything for diarrhea??
Like
Do you have any recommendations??
He closes his phone for half a second before it starts buzzing with Porsche’s replies
Okay so it depends what type
Is it diarrhea due to stress and poor diet??
Because if yes I recommend this brand *pic*
If it’s because of a stomach bug I recommend this one *pic*
Don’t be fooled by what they say they taste like
Just make it as they say and chug it
Actually
Don’t chug it if you have a stomach bug
Sure fire way to make you puke more 😠
Oh!
And buy some of those weird sports drinks
They’re not really recommended anymore but they do a good job if you really can’t stomach the other stuff
Pete was about to reply when he got another wall of text
Do you want my list of good foods to eat when sick?
They’re mostly made for Chay in mind
But I’m sure you can adapt them for whoever needs them
Pete bit his lip before replying with ‘Please 🥺’, he made quick work of grabbing the product Porsche recommended before leaving the aisle to go find the sports drinks.
2)
Pete stared at the mess of the kitchen. Macau had never acted like this before and Pete was so uncertain about what to do or say. He thought that they’d struck up a good bond.
Pete made slow work of cleaning up the smashed plate and food that coated the floor and walls and tried to work out his plan. He couldn’t message Vegas, he was busy with an important deal and Pete had pinky promised not to get involved.
As Pete rinsed the cloth he had used to clean he knew what he had to do.
Hey
I swear I don’t only message you for advice
Buuut
Any advice on how to deal with a teen who’s lashing out?
Pete pursed his lips. The message was purposely vague but was it too vague?
You can message me for whatever you want Pete ☺️
Okay
So
It really depends on why they’re lashing out
But as a general rule of thumb
Give him space
He’s probably already in his room so leave him there
But do try to establish some sort of connection
Let him know that you aren’t phased by his outburst
I always liked to write a note
Just stating that this argument changes nothing, I still love you and all that
Oh!
Make sure to write two copies
Incase they feel like ripping up the first one in an act of defiance
I also recommend making him some food or snacks
Something he doesn’t have all that often
And this part totally depends on what the fight is about (say it was about money, then don’t do this)
But maybe also give him something small he’s wanted for a while
A game or a book or something
Just something that he mentioned a while ago
Something that shows that even though you are fighting
You listened to him then and you are listening now
Not sure if any of that is even useful 🙄
Pete was quick to reassure Porsche
No!! All very useful!!
Thank you!!
Porsche’s reply of a love heart and a smiley warmed the last part of Pete’s aching heart. He knew what he needed to do.
3)
Pete frowned at the door that Vegas had just stormed out of. They hadn’t had a fight, and Pete couldn’t think of anything that had happened the night before to make Vegas act like this.
Pete frowned as he felt the familiar itch of wanting to reach for his phone and message Porsche. He lasted less than a minute before he was typing out his text.
Heyyyyyy
So, you’ve been in a relationship longer than I have
As the messages sent he could practically hear Porsche snort of laughter.
Pete’s phone buzzed and he eagerly checked the messages.
Sure
Let’s just ignore all of the weeks of *gestures vaguely*
It was Pete’s turn to laugh now. He knew just how messy everything had been for Kinn and Porsche, it’s why he wanted Porsche’s advice. His phone buzzed again.
So how may I be of assistance?
Pete sighed. He didn’t actually know what to say.
Um
I guess I just want to know what you do when Kinn is in a mood
Like
Not necessarily that you’ve had a fight
Just he’s all ????
And you don’t know why
Pete saw that Porsche was typing and he tried to not let his impatience grow, finally the new messages popped up.
Oh
That’s easy
He’s probably just stressed
And doesn’t want to tell you that he’s stressed because he doesn’t want to make you stressed
Luckily there’s an easy fix 😉
Get his ass home for some fake emergency
And make some good food and feed him it by hand
Or you can skip the food but I know food is important for you two (you’ll have to explain that to me soon Pete - you promised to tell me everything)
Pete flushed at that. Nothing about he and Vegas were subtle, but that fact that even their food thing had been picked up on?
Anyway
Feed him, bath him, shove him in bed and ride him like there’s no tomorrow
Simple
Works even better if you pretend it’ll make you feel better
Because he’ll probably be all stubborn
So bat your eyes and be prepared to pout and whine and he’ll soon be melting
Pete felt lighter after reading the messages. Honestly, having sex would probably solve a lot of Vegas’ issues and maybe a few of his own.
He sent a smiley face to Porsche, and laughed when the other replied with ‘get that dick’.
4)
Pete looked around the house and wondered just how much it cost. Vegas hadn’t said, he’d just focused on all of the cool things they could do whilst on this trip.
Pete however wasn’t entirely comfortable with all of it. Not seeing the point of fighting his instinct he pulled his phone from his pocket and decided to text Porsche.
How do you deal with the fact that Kinn has a shit tonne of money?
As always Porsche replied far quicker than he had any reason too.
Fuck
Not going to lie I still am not that good with this
It’s difficult a lot of the time
Sometimes I’ll say I saw something I liked, or that I’m craving something and Kinn will instantly be trying to get it for me
He has no real concept of not always being able to get what you want
I think the thing to focus on is that at the end of the day Kinn (or Vegas for you) just wants to care for you
And yeah he wants to do it in the most ridiculous and lavish way
But it’s just him being able to do something that you’ve never been able to experience
We’ve both had shit lives Pete
I think we both need to start accepting that it’s no longer about trying to get through each day alone. We have someone who wants and has the means to give us the world if they so choose.
Yeah it’s all a bit much and hard to get used to
But it also feels nice right??
Pete nodded at his phone even though Porsche couldn’t see him
I guess so
He types, quickly following it up with more words
Well
I’m going to go try and have sex with Vegas in this ridiculous sized pool
He pauses for a minute, wondering if the next text is worth it
Any advice on how not to crack your head open?
Before Porsche can even pretend he has no clue what Pete is referencing he sends another message
Don’t deny it
I heard one of the guards tell the cleaner to get the pool guy in
As he sends the message he can practically feel Porsche’s blush
5)
Has Chay ever had a crush?
After Pete sends it he realises how stupid of a question it is. At this point the whole of Thailand knows about the mysterious Porchay that got Wik’s attention. But still. Pete needs advice.
Thankfully his phone buzzes.
Sex so good you forgot about how my baby brother is the most hated and coveted man in all of Thailand?
Pete bites his lip. The reply seems light, it doesn’t appear that he overstepped.
Sorry
He sends it quickly, hoping to keep Porsche’s attention.
It’s okay Pete
Well it’s not
I still kind of want to punch Kim at least once
But I can’t because of the puppy eyes Chay gives me
Anyway
Macau has a crush
(I’m assuming it’s Macau)
And you want advice on what exactly?
This is where Pete is stumped. He doesn’t know what advice he wants, especially as Vegas isn’t all that bothered by Macau’s mystery crush, which means he should also not be bothered but he can’t shake the feeling he has.
I know it’s weird
It’s barely been a year
And I know that I’ve known Macau a lot longer
But I guess it just feels like my ‘kid’ is growing up too fast
Like Macau still regularly climbs into bed with me and Vegas to hang out
And he loves bothering us and badgering us with a thousand questions
I’m not ready for him to start dating
But I should be because 1) it’s none of my business 2) Vegas doesn’t care
Pete breathes out slowly, not realising how tense he was feeling. He stared at his slowly cooling tea and waits for Porsche to reply.
Awe!
You’ve got empty nest syndrome already
Macau is a big boy he can handle a crush
And I’m more than sure that he’ll still climb into bed and bother you and Vegas about good date activities and restaurant recommendations if this crush develops anymore
Pete nods at Porsche’s words. He goes to type out a response when his screen lights up again.
Also!
Talk to Vegas, Pete
He’s also probably freaking out about this and using work as an excuse - even if he says it’s fine
Pete smiles at that. He loves that Porsche knows Vegas simply because of how similar he is to Kinn. Both cousins are so easy to read once you get past their fronts.
Thank you 💛
+1)
Porsche bites his lip before reaching out for his phone. He’s asked Pete worse questions, what he wants to know is tame in comparison but he still feels his gut churn with nerves.
Hey Pete
It’s my turn to ask a question
He sends it before he can change his mind. Porsche waits, and between one breath and another he gets a reply.
Awe yay!
How can I help?
Porsche practically closes his eyes as he types out his reply
It’s a sex question..
Oh!
Even better 😈
Porsche has to laugh a little at that, it helps shake the last of his nerves.
Can you and Vegas help me practice bondage?
And do you have any dildos that you really recommend?
Pete’s reply is quick
Ohhh
This is going to be a good anniversary for Kinn then
Porsche grins at that, ‘One for the record’ He replies.
