Kinn's P.O.V:

I raised an eyebrow in amusement as I looked at my little brother who was now trying to lecture me.

"And what's that truth you're talking about may I ask?" I asked.

"You know what I mean so stop pretending that you don't get it" He said calmly.

"Kim...This is my last warning for you...Stop meddling in my affairs" I said.

"It's not your affairs anymore if it affects other people...Snap out of it already...Do you really think you're the only one in pain? Wake up and face reality" Kim said.

"He's the one who lied" I said.

Kim sighed heavily and nodded.

"Yes...He did but...No matter how many times I look at it...I don't think he did anything wrong...You know why?" He asked.

Then grabbed my collar and pushed me to the wall.

"Because...He's not a rich person who can buy his way in life with money...What did you expect him to do? Reality still remains the same Kinn...So just accept it already...If you were in his shoes...You'd have done the same thing for my sake" He said.

Then let go of my collar.

"You willingness to go overboard to keep me and Tankul safe because we're your brothers...The only family you have left makes you two very much the same...He also has someone he wants to protect and keep safe at all costs...So...It's his right to protect his family with whatever he has" Kim said glaring at me.

I pursed my lips into a thin line and looked at the floor.

"Not everyone has the same power and influence we have...So be reasonable" He said.

Reasonable huh?

I grabbed his collar and maneuvered him slamming his back to the wall as I glared at him in equal anger.

"How come you're taking his side? Whose brother are you? Are you turning your back on me?" I asked.

"No I'm not turning my back on you...And I'd never do that...But I'm saying this because I'm your brother...And because I get what this word means now that I met Porchay and Porsche...I really care about you more then you think...So just think about it for a little longer...If Porsche wanted to hurt our family he'd have done so long ago don't you think? There's a reason why he didn't do anything and there's a reason why he kept pretending...What do you think that reason is?" Kim asked.

Then grabbed my hands which were gripping his collar and I noticed the cuts on his right forearm so I let go of his collar immediately and looked at the floor.

In a way what he was trying to say was right...But still...I couldn't come to a decision.

He sighed heavily and nodded to himself then put his hand on my shoulder.

"Kinn...When you first meet someone...Do you usually trust them at once and tell them all your problems? Who does that?" Kim asked.

I stayed silent.

"Be more lenient...I know the truth hurt you...But from what I see now you're the one breaking your own heart" He said.

Then turned his back on me and started walking away.

(Meanwhile)

Pete's P.O.V:

I was sitting by Vegas's bedside.

He still didn't wake up.

It was probably night time now.

The air was a little chilling so I stood up and walked over to the window and closed the window and the curtain before sitting back down.

"So it's you then" The woman who owned the house said.

Then walked into the room.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"His father tried to set us up together" She said.

I pursed my lips into a thin line.

"Relax...We both refused...But he clearly refused because of you" She said.

"And why did you refuse?" I asked trying to keep my voice normal.

"Hmmm...I'm not really fond of similarities...It's boring...And I'm older then your boss" She said.

My boss?

"I'm a year older then mr Anakin" She said.

I waiied politely causing her to raise an eyebrow.

"Thank you for keeping us" I said.

She sighed heavily and nodded.

"You should probably rest it's night now" She said.

I shook my head.

"I'm waiting for him to wake up" I said.

"Stop being so dramatic...He'll be fine you should get some rest as well it's not like he'll fly out of the window" She said.

"Then I'll rest here" I said.

She told someone to bring me food and told a nurse to keep an eye on Vegas.

I sat down on the chair next to the bed once again but didn't eat anything.

After some time my eyes started dropping.

(Three weeks later)

Pete's P.O.V:

I woke up and stretched my body but something was wrong.

My back shouldn't be that comfortable when resting on a chair.

My eyes shot open when I realised that I was laying on a bed.

So I sat up and saw Vegas standing in front of the window smoking a cigarette.

"Hey" I said.

He turned to me and I could see the bandage from under his button up shirt.

"Hey" He said then blew the cigarette breath.

I stood up and walked over to him then we looked at each other for what felt like a minute before I smacked his head hard.

"What the hell was that for?" He asked angrily.

"Are you crazy? What the fuck is wrong with you? You idiot...Were you planning on dying? And texting me goodbye? What the hell?" I asked.

Then started smacking his good shoulder repeatedly.

He tried to escape but I continued following him and kept up my attacks.

He managed to make an escape to the private bathroom and closed the door behind him hurriedly.

"You come back here you sick son of..." I started.

Then kicked the door open and went into the room.

"Wait wait...I'm injured remember? I'm still sick" He said.

"Right...You're still sick" I said.

Then lowered my hand.

But then started hitting him again.

"What now?" He asked.

"The first thing you do after waking up is smoking a fucking cigarette? Are you nuts? Do you want me to grow old by myself you idiot?" I asked.

"Huh?" He asked.

"Huh?" I asked.

"What did you say just now?" He asked.

"That you're an idiot?" I asked.

"No before that" He said.

"That you're nuts for smoking right now?" I asked frowning in confusion.

"In the middle" He said emphasising with his hands.

I chuckled awkwardly and looked at my watch.

"Oh will you look at the time...I wonder if they prepared food" I said trying to change the subject.

He sighed heavily.

"Hey I'm still mad at you" I said then started smacking his good shoulder again.

I don't know where my courage came from when previously I wouldn't dare do anything of that sort but he wasn't complaining so it's fine right?

He grabbed both my hands to stop my attacks.

"I'm sorry...I really thought you didn't want to see me again" He said.

I sighed heavily and leaned my head on his chest.

"I was so worried" I said.

"I betrayed my father" He said.

"I know" I said.

"I really have no one as of now" He said.

"You have me" I said.

Then wrapped my arms around his waist and looked at him.

"Do you really mean that?" He asked.

I pursed my lips into a thin line and nodded then rested my chin on his shoulder.

"I do" I said.

I pulled away from the hug and looked at him.

He blinked twice then pressed his lips to mine in a quick peck that lasted for a second.

"You can't blame me I almost died" He said.

I slung an arm over his good shoulder and pressed my lips to his.

He cupped my face and changed our position so I was the one who was pinned to the wall and I closed my eyes accepting the kiss as I kept my hand on his shoulder.

We pulled away and I smiled at him.

He leaned his forehead on my shoulder.

"Do you really mean what you said earlier?" He asked in a strained voice.

"Yes" I said.

"I'm sorry for everything...I'm really sorry" He said.

"I believe you" I said.

He stepped back and we both went to sit on the bed.

He layed down with his head resting on the bedpost in the direction of the ceiling and I layed my head on his stomach and closed my eyes.

He threaded his fingers through my hair and started playing with it lazily.

I almost lost him because I was so stubborn...

But that has to change.

(Meanwhile)

Porchay's P.O.V:

I was trying to find my way to the kitchen to bring food to P'Porsche but the house was just so big.

I opened the door to a random room.

I found three bathrooms and the sauna room I also found a gym room and a surveillance room.

But...WHY CAN'T I FIND THE KITCHEN?

I opened another random door and saw P'Kim sitting on the bed and playing his guitar.

He looked up and frowned in confusion.

"What are you looking for?" P'Kim asked.

"The kitchen" I said smiling awkwardly.

He chuckled and shook his head.

"Second floor third room by the stairs on your left" He said.

I was about to leave but turned and smiled at him awkwardly once again.

"I'm bad at directions here" I said.

He put the guitar aside and stood up then walked me to the kitchen.

"What do you want to eat? I can make it for you" P'Kim said.

"You can cook?" I asked in awe.

He nodded.

"I lived by myself for two years" He said.

I nodded in understanding.

"That's so cool I want to try that too" I said.

He chuckled to himself then turned to me and flicked my forehead.

"As if you can ever live away from your brother you dummy" He said.

I chuckled and shook my head.

He started cracking some eggs into a frying pan and cutting some carrots and other vegetables and added them to a plate.

"My brother doesn't like vegetables" I said.

"It's yours then" He said shrugging.

After some time he was done making two perfectly shaped omelette eggs.

One had vegetables on the side for me and the other had chicken sausages for P'Porsche.

Then put them on a tray and started pouring some juice into two glasses and put the food into two trays along with bread and utensils then took one and I took the other and he led me back to P'Porsche's hospital room.

On the way there I decided to ask him that question I wanted an answer for.

"Why did you kiss me that night P'Kim?" I asked.

He said that we're brothers...Brothers aren't supposed to kiss right?

"It was the first time I met someone like you...So bold and dedicated and fearless despite lacking power...At first I thought you were faking it but realised that I was wrong when I got to know you better...And the way you said whatever was on your mind never seized to amaze me" He said.

But that still didn't answer my question.

I opened my mouth to say something but he turned and walked over to me.

Then pressed his lips to mine.

It lasted for just a few seconds before he pulled away and smiled at me.

Then we both walked into P'Porsche's room and P'Kim gave him the tray he was holding then left.

"You look flushed...Why are your ears so red?" P'Porsche asked frowning.

"Huh? Ummm...Probably the weather" I said chuckling awkwardly.
