Chapter Text
Pete looked at Vegas with sad eyes from where he was standing. They were in their living room with Pete standing inside and Vegas standing at the door frame with a serious expression on,
" You are breaking up with me?" he asked his lower lip trembling, he can't even look at Vegas's eyes as they look as if they can kill him on the spot.
" Yeah Pete, I am, I am breaking up with you because I am tired of your childish acts, your lack of empathy and senseless attitude just like a classic spoiled omega you are" Pete knows he overdid it this time with jealousy but he didn't think he had done such an awful thing to consider breaking up.
He didn't even do anything in his opinion to be honest, he just told Vegas that he is uncomfortable with this new ' work wife' of him who made Vegas eat the lunches she brought instead of Pete's for the third time this week.
It doesn't help that Vegas hasn't even made an attempt to introduce him to his family either, Pete can't be sure what's his place in Vegas's life, hell Pete didn't even know the names of his family members,
He let a few tears escape his eyes " What do you mean my senseless attitude?" he asked,
Vegas chuckled at that moment he wanted to be mean for some reason so he let the next words flow out of his mouth as if it's nothing " Shallow, you are shallow Pete, only thing you care about is your stupid popular asian culture, kpop idols, babies, making a 'family' and games, the only thing you do is going to your job at that fancy workplace of yours to design a few events and products and that's it, that's all you are and all you have"
Pete sniffed, what does that have to do with his jealousy? Was Vegas planning this break up before today? These are not the things someone can come up with on the spot.
Pete knows it, this is about that girl, Vegas is being mean to him for that girl.
Even though he was hopeless he tried his last chance on winning" Isn't that enough for loving you? I love you Wegath, I know I'm not a fancy engineer who earns more than enough salary and finishes at least one intellectual book a week but I don't think I am that bad and also you care about kpop idols and games too, does that make you shallow too? What's the difference?" he asked,
Vegas chuckled and kicked their couch almost making Pete jump in his place from the sound " The difference is you do it shallowly! You make all those weird skin masks, stupid diets and-" a big sound interrupted his sentence as everywhere filled with broken glass pieces,
Vegas looked at Pete in shock seeing a line of blood going down on his face from his hair " Wegat- my head hur-" before he can finish his sentence Pete fainted on the couch while Vegas's shout can be heard " Pete!"
Pete opened his eyes to the bright lights off the hospital, he looked around to see only someone sitting on a chair beside his hospital bed with his head resting on Pete's thigh " Why am I in the hospital?" he asked more to himself but hoping the guy that's resting beside him can answer his question,
Was he in an accident and they were the one who hit him?
Oh that would make a good love story wouldn't it?
" Pete! Thank god you are awake, doctors said it could even take a day before you can wake up are you ok? Are you feeling well?" Pete looked confused after seeing the guy's face, he thought this guy was a stranger, he does not look like any of his high school friends or work friends so how does he know him enough to behave this close with him?
" Who are you?" he asked " Where is my friends and family?" Vegas felt his eye twitch, there is no way Pete forgot about him, is there?
" What do you mean who am I Pete, you are joking right? Are you trying to do a little prank because of how we left off before that chandelier fell on top of your head?" Pete furrowed his brows, a chandelier fell on top of his head ?!
" No sorry but I really don't know you" Vegas grabbed the barriers of the hospital bed and tried to take a deep breath " So you are saying you forgot your boyfriend?" Pete felt himself getting hot all of a sudden, he is getting embarrassed, so he has a boyfriend?
The last he remembers about his love life is the girl he dated when he was in high school " Are you my boyfriend?" he asked, Vegas nodded " My name is Vegas, we have been together for four years", Pete laughed at his name ignoring other words that came out of Vegas's mouth, he must really love gambling,
He was about to make fun of it loudly too but then a thought came into his mind which made him frightened at the same time " How can I trust that your words saying that you are my boyfriend?" he asked,
Vegas took a deep breath and rolled his eyes before opening his phone and showing Pete a picture of them ' So what?' Pete thought, everyone can photoshop these days.
He looked away which made Vegas roll his eyes and this time opening a video " Wegath!" Pete's voice was heard, a lot of kiss sounds followed " Stop kissing my cheek continuously! I told you ok, I will not talk to that bartender ever again" Pete looked on the screen annoyed,
Ok maybe he really does have a boyfriend and this guy is that said boyfriend but now he actually does not want to interact more with this guy because of the weird feelings that are starting to bubble up in his stomach so he needs to find a way to avoid this interaction,
"Well let's say I am really your boyfriend" Vegas corrected him "You are really my boyfriend" Pete sighed " Then why aren't you calling a doctor now that I woke up, aren't you afraid that I might be having a complication?" Vegas's eyes got big as he realized that might be the case and he hurried out of the VIP room he bought for Pete so he can get a doctor to check him.
In the end there was nothing wrong with Pete which made another question came into his mind as they exited the hospital after spending hours watching shitty shows on the VIP room while Pete was being monitored " Didn't you notify my family?" he asked, Vegas sighed " I would if there was anything serious"
Actually he didn't because he was afraid that they would take Pete away and Vegas wouldn't have time to talk with him after their fight and break up.
Pete frowned, what kind of a person is this guy, really? " A chandelier dropped on top of my head, what would you consider more serious than this Vegas?" he asked while they made their way to a luxurious car which surprised Pete, he remembers this car, he remembers it vividly, the times that he is getting inside, driving it around to meet with his friends and go to his work on some days,
He stopped for a second not taking his eyes off of the car and asked towards Vegas " Whose car is this?" he asked, Vegas raised his eyebrows " This is my car, well our car since you use it more than your own car" he said,
Pete blinked a few times " I remember this car vividly, driving it and all, but when I even remember your car why can't I remember you?" he asked,
Vegas gulped, he actually knows or think he knows why, their last encounter must have created a trauma in Pete and that's the reason why he decided to only forget about Vegas but remember about anything or everyone else,
" I don't know, I guess your brain decided to test my loyalty by doing this, let's just go home so you can have more things to remember me from" he tried to avoid answering Pete further as he get inside the car and waited for Pete to get into the passenger seat.
Pete was uneasy at home, he was fidgeting continuously as he sat down on the bed waiting for Vegas to come sleep with him. He doesn't even want to sleep with him but Vegas said it could help with his memories as they always sleep together normally.
As soon as he entered the house, memories came flooding into his mind, this house was familiar to him, he has the memories of it when he was using the house all for himself but they were few.
Only a few nights of him he remembers laying in this bed alone and all the night he remembers, he only remember himself crying in it, he even remembers the words that he said out loud in one of those nights " What have I done wrong so our relationship becomes like this? Why wouldn't he find me attractive anymore?" so now he was more suspicious of Vegas than before about how their relationship was.
He thinks Vegas is hiding something about their relationship.
He stands up to make his way out of the bedroom and into the kitchen but stopped and hide beside the door frame when he heard Vegas talking on the phone in the living room,
" No Macau, he does not remember anything about me, it's only me that he forget about" Vegas sighed " Yeah actually at first I was going to protest and argue with him that what I said was not that traumatic that he needs to forget about it but now I see this as an opportunity"
What he said what? Pete was confused, so this guy said something so bad that Pete's brain decided to just delete it?
Vegas chuckled on the phone after a short silence " No my asshole of a little brother, not an opportunity to fuck him for the last time, an opportunity to make up with him now that-" he frowns while Pete felt his eye twitch,
He does not understand anything but the fact that Vegas's intentions may not be as pure as he thinks they are,
" No Macau don't worry I understood my mistake the minute I saw blood going down on Pete's face, the nurses on the hospital told me this accident may even cause death but he was lucky enough that only a part of chandelier landed on his head, after that thought I can't help but imagine a life without him which made me understand that I rather chase him to be my boyfriend all over again and swallow my honor than to lose him"
Pete hold his breath, this boy sounds like he really loves him but at the same time Pete does not think hiding things like these would benefit his case since he is now more interested in what Vegas's hiding about their relationship than the emotions that he has for him.
A sigh was heard " Yeah I know he is your dear big brother and if I hurt him again you will kill me" Vegas said before a short silence came again,
" You can come tomorrow brat, tonight let us rest, it's already three am" Pete left after that,
He of course remembers Macau too even if he can't remember how and when they met and the things he heard is rather sweet of him though he thinks he is capable and tough enough to protect himself, what he wants to remember now though is what happened before the chandelier fell on his head.
~ 2 Months Later~
Pete looked around on his surroundings and then looked at Kim who was sitting beside him bounded to a chair like he is.
" What's happening?" he whispers, afraid that he will alarm the people who did this to them.
Kim was still knocked out not even hearing Pete " Kim!" he whisper shouted " Kim!"
Kim slowly opened his eyes " What the-!" he started but stopped when he saw the worried expression of Pete " Pete!" he shouted " What's happening Kim? Where is Vegas? Is he ok like us?" he asked whispering.
He continued when Kim just straightened out his lips instead of answering him" We were all eating dinner at your house or did I loss my memory again?"
Kim sighed " No I last remember our dinner too, we must be drugged and kidnapped, Vegas must have sent a mole into my house to drug us beforehand" he murmured,
Pete rolled his eyes " Don't blame him on every occasion Kim, you are a mafia head's little brother, I can only guess how many people are out there to get you"
Kim rolled his eyes too " Don't defend him here Pete, don't forget that he hide what happened and how you two broke up before you went to the hospital for a whole month and made people follow you, if it weren't me who you were seeing back then I can't even guess what would happen" he continued but this time murmuring " He didn't even let you meet us, his family, for four years"
Pete closed his eyes and shakes his head " I still don't think it's h-" a voice interrupted his sentence " I wouldn't even try to badmouth myself like that cousin, how can my boyfriend talk bad about me huh?" both Pete and Kim's eyes got big as they turned their head to the way that the voice is coming from.
