So. I think as a fandom we haven't talked about this nearly enough. Actually, I haven't seen it mentioned at all and I want to change that.

It's just a throw away line. The screen writers were probably like, "Hm, we need to make Tankhun say something relevant to the situation as a reason for him wanting to give Pete to Kinn and take Porsche. Ah, yes, a bizarre thing from the past with Macau and Pete, cool, throw that in." What the screenwriters didn't expect, I suppose, is me seeing that line and losing my mind over it. I've been thinking about it for months, it's kind of a problem.

Alright. How is this line significant? Well, it gives us vital information about 1. Pete himself and 2. Pete and Macau's relationship, because it sure af affects it later on, even though we never saw it in the show (we needed more Macau GODDAMMIT.) Ok, so first things first. Pete. I would like everyone to know that this is the second time we get indication that Pete speaks his mind against things he believes are wrong to do. The first is during the mermaid scene in ep 2, the screenshot below showing what Pete said to Tankhun when he ordered him to feed Porsche bread:

Generally, throughout the show, we see glimpses of Pete's opinions being expressed at the Theerapanyakul sons, and while most if not all of those times he gulps them back down, the fact that he said them at all is significant to his character. He's not a pushover. He doesn't just blindly follow orders. He has *opinions* about what he sees and hears and he expresses them. And he's smart enough to not retort when those opinions are not taken seriously, being ignored or when he gets warned about them (a.k.a. the interaction he had with Vegas at the table in ep 4, this moment also lives rent free in my mind, thank you.) Back to Macau, what was even the situation with him that ended up making Tankhun asking Pete to tie him up? Was it just silly Tankhun being silly (that man is never silly, he knows exactly what he's doing)? Was it something serious that involved the whole family? Neither of those? Whatever it was, the most important thing is that Pete said no. And, in headcanon fashion, I believe Macau was present during that moment. Macau saw Pete refuse Tankhun's order, the order of someone from the main family, someone above Macau in status. He saw it and he remembers it to this day, because during the temple scene in ep 9, we get this:

Ok. I'm going a little feral over what my mind has come up with. What we're seeing here is Macau, a member of the minor family, the lesser family, making fun of Tankhun, the oldest son of the main family. The family Pete serves. And all of the people present know this. It's evident - to me at least - by the fact that Vegas says *nothing* about Tankhun. He just says Pete is alone as an answer to Macau's question. So, the conclusion of this is that Macau feels confident and comfortable with sharing his actual opinions about Tankhun to Pete, who's Tankhun's main bodyguard, which both brothers know about. Vegas is also comfortable and confident with allowing Macau to say those things and the reason I'm mentioning him as well is because we all know how protective Vegas is of Macau. If that endangered him in any way, he wouldn't allow it. A reason they're both comfortable, of course, is because Pete is below *everyone* in status. He's literally just a foot soldier, he has no power over them. But the moment he returns to the main family, he has protection against Vegas and his side. He's in his own turf, and Vegas cannot do shit to the main family bodyguards if the main family decides so, as evident by the whole Porsche&Macau situation in ep 2. Now, can we imagine for a hot second, if Pete reported that back to the main family, what would have happened? Probably nothing, I hear you say, and maybe you're correct. But the more suspicious (and angsty) part of me wants to believe that there would be repercussions for this. Tankhun can literally hit Vegas with a fucking tray if he wants to, because he dared eat at the same table as Kinn. He can order Pete to tie Macau up because...something something Macau is a brat I guess. He can do whatever the fuck he wants to them, even if they've done nothing wrong. Can you imagine what he would do if he had actual reasons to punish them? The thought makes me shiver but it's reality and it's evident from ep fucking 2, as mentioned above, when all Porsche gets for making Macau BLEED from the HEAD, is a little choking and a pat on the back. The same goes for Kinn of course. He threatened Vegas with a gun in his OWN FUCKING HOUSE because he kissed Porsche in ep 7. He says the line "Do you see my ring?" and everyone understands what that means. The main family can do whatever the fuck it wants to the minor family and you just have to shut up and accept it. In conclusion, where does that bring us to Macau&Pete post-canon? Well, there's the simple thing called "trust". Yes, Macau will not trust Pete immediately. Yes, I love seeing this in the multiple hospital era fics I've read. But, can I introduce the variable of that event shaping Macau's feelings about Pete to the table? Because holy shit, it's eating away at me and I love it so much to let it be ignored anymore.

uno reverse on obligatory rick jones for the character ask game

oh you bastard you got me monologuing

• one aspect about them i love

His gay ass swag. But jokes aside I’m a big fan of just how human he is contrasted against all those super person. Coolest audience surrogate out there. All these equally awesome and disastrous things are happening all around him and he has no control over it but also more control than anyone else. Something about that is just so appealing and hopeful to me.

• one aspect i wish more people understood about them

Truly madly deeply I wish the entire world understood just how important he is. 70% of the time when I tell someone he’s my favorite comic character they go ‘who’ and the other 30% they go ‘why??’ He is integral to the marvel universe and also just my personal well-being. Rick jones in my emotional support unwell man.

• one (or more) headcanons) i have about this character

I hesitate to call this a headcanon just because I’m so convinced. But that is a trans man. I mean just look at him.

Also, bedroom toaster. For bedroom toast. Keeps a roster and a load of bread in the drawer of a nightstand for ‘too tired to get out of bed’ depression toast.

• one character i love seeing them interact with

Marlo marlo marlo marlo marlo my z list queen. I just think they’re cute and have potential to play off eachother so well. Y’know. Whenever they do have appearances together.

• one character i wish they would interact with/ interact with more

I would’ve loved to see Rick and Charlene interact more often. Specifically I feel like the issue of ‘hey you experimented with my corpse’ was just brushed aside way too fast. He should have had a diva moment that could only be resolved after a 6 issue limited series where he learns to come to terms with it.

• one (or more headcanon s) i have that involve them and one other character

I like to think Rick has done post mortem (ba dum tssst) interview with Jackie after her Hulk expose at the end of Immortal Hulk. To help the Herald get back on its feet, and get Ricks music career back up and attem.

Del and Rick still play Madden together obviously. Rick isn’t sold on Del at first but in an ideal world they’d have a brotherly relationship.

Rick does a cover of ‘Viva Las Vegas’ every time he plays in Vegas. Specifically to aggravate Joe. He also insists on calling it ‘Vegas’ for similar reasons.

Betty has Rick’s music blocked on Spotify. This one just feels right.

okay @fawndlyvenus @shubaka this is for you lol

Chay learns, very quickly, that there are a lot of things he and Porsche no longer know about each other.

For example: Porsche had no idea that his own boyfriend's youngest brother is the same guy that's existed within a shrine on Chay's wall for, oh, five years? And when he found out about Kinn's AWOL brother, Porsche had a name, but was never able to put a face to it, because Kim was too busy stalking Chay, and giving him guitar lessons - which Porsche never found out about, either - and taking him on dates, and then ripping his heart out of his chest. Chay decides not to tell Porsche about that last part, because by the time he can, he and Kim have already made up and gotten back together, and it would make things very awkward with Porsche. Who already disapproves of Kim on principle.

So, there are still things Chay and Porsche don't know about each other. And there are more things they wish they didn't know about each other.

Still, somewhere during Porsche's apologetic, secret-sharing mood, he revealed some things about his early days as Kinn's bodyguard. Namely his interactions with the Minor Family. Chay has gotten some of the details from Macau as well; how the first time they met, Porsche shoved him into the koi pond and broke his face on a statue. (Porsche fiercely insists that's not the real story).

Between the two of them, Chay is able to piece together a story.

Kan demanded that Vegas keep an eye on Porsche. Vegas enlisted Macau's help to reel him in with a false apology, and bribe him with the cherry red Ducati he's always wanted. Chay also learns Vegas kept a much... closer... involvement with Porsche than strictly necessary. And this part of the story always makes his stomach turn, the way Vegas would push and push and push, trying to take what wasn't his, and Porsche never quite looks at him when he talks about it. Chay doesn't look at him, either.

Porsche insists that he and Vegas are cool now. Pete insists Vegas has changed, and Porsche tells him that as far as he can tell, it's true. Vegas no longer acts like the monster his father forced him to be, now that his father is dead.

Still, he tells Chay these stories, because there's a part of him that still believes Vegas is dangerous, and Porsche needs him to know. To understand. To be safe.

Macau, to his credit, doesn't take offense to the way Chay always flinches when Vegas is mentioned. They never hang out at Macau and Vegas' new house - they're not unwelcome at the minor family house, but they stay away, there's too many memories - and bringing Macau to the main compound always make him a little nervous - Khun loathes Macau just as much as he adores Chay - but they figure it out. Pour over google Maps for an hour trying to establish an acceptable No Man's Land where they can meet in peace, without painful memories bleeding out between them.

Mostly that takes place at an internet cafe roughly in the middle of them, where they can game and bicker and act like normal kids for a while. In another year Macau will join him in university, and it'll be even easier to negotiate their interactions. For now, Chay will continue to feel like he's sneaking behind enemy lines the handful of times he picks Macau up directly from his house.

-

"He really has changed," Macau says one day. They're in the compound this time, at Khun's koi pond, and Maucau keeps looking around like he's waiting to be shoved into it. They're the only ones in the garden. Neither of them comment on Tankhun standing in his window, watching them fiercely.

Chay tosses a torn off piece of bread into the pond and says, "Mhm," and pretends he doesn't know who Macau is talking about. But Macau is kind of an asshole, and won't let him.

"He feels bad."

"I don't know why, it's not like he kidnapped me." He technically didn't. Chay knows that. He still doesn't like him.

"He keeps making sad faces at me and asking if you hate him."

Chay laughs at that. The next piece of bread is thrown at Macau. "Liar."

"Yeah, I am," Macau laughs. "He really does feel bad, though. He's got a thing about fucking with little brothers, y'know?" He tears into his own loaf of bread. It mostly crumbles into the grass as he picks at it. "Vegas really didn't mean for you to get caught up in everything. Tawan went behind his back."

"Yep. It's cool. Really." It's really not.

Macau sighs.

He stops trying to convince Chay, though. Maybe it's because he looks up at Tankhun's window, sees the unfiltered loathing pouring through it, and shudders, and yeah. He understands. And Tankhun never ever really did anything to him, not like Tawan - and Vegas - did to Chay.

"You know, that was the worst day of my life," Chay says casually. "Well, second worst. Actual worst was way worse, emotionally at least, but that day started as the best day of my life-"

"Because of Kim?"

Chay nods, a blush dusting his cheeks. They've finally managed to get their shit back together, so they can get back together, but it's only been a few weeks. It's still new and kind of scaring, and sometimes Chay still thinks he's going to wake up and find it was all a dream. He's working on it.

Macau scrunches up his nose and says, "This family is so weird. You don't have any other brothers, right? Because I think I'd be genetically obligated to try and smash, and I don't really want to."

"Dude! You're actually insane."

"Dude, come on - think about! Your brother is banging Kinn, Vegas tried to bang him, and you're doing your thing with Kim-"

"No one's tried with Tankhun, right?"

"Yeah, but that's cause he's weird. So that just leaves me, right? The last eligible Theerapanyakul bachelor." They both break into laughter so deep it hurts, and Macau throws himself into Chay's side, batting his lashes. "But hey, if you and Kim don't work out..."

"I hate you," Chay says, and Macau's worst fear finally comes true as Chay shoves him into the koi pond, and a pair of guards come running when they hear screams.

By the time they get there Macau has pulled Chay into the water, and the two are playfully trying to drown each other, and the guards look at each other, unsure if they should get involved.

In the end, they're called off - by Tankhun, who secretly hopes Chay succeeds in drowning Macau, eagerly watching from his window - and the boys eventually drag themselves out, waterlogged and sore from laughter.

No one could tell they're crying beneath it all, months of pent-up emotions finally released. They cling to each other as they catch their breath, and maybe it's a little desperate, grasping hands that hurt, but it's okay, because even if their ribs are aching and their lungs are burning, and nothing is certain, they're okay.

PREVIOUS CHAPTER || NEXT CHAPTER

Returning to the hotel room, you sat on the bed. Your mind flicked through the night's events, and of all of them, you just couldn't shake the thoughts of Eddie in that wet white shirt. The thoughts sent your stomach twisting and turning, and heat pooled between your legs. It had been a long time since you thought of a man this way, and you struggled to remove the thoughts from your mind.

You took your shoes off, kicking them across the room with a thud. Lying back on the bed, you slowly moved your hand toward your pants. Your heart was racing as you thought of what it would be like if he touched you. You closed your eyes, thoughts of him moving onto the bed and nestling himself between your tights played in your mind as your hand broke past your waistband.

“Eddie.”

His name left your lips as your fingers breached your underwear, the heat radiating out. Your pussy throbbed, desperate to be touched. Your hand crept lower, moving closer to the slick heat. Your finger reached for your clit, about to begin rubbing when someone knocked at your door.

Your hand came out of your pants far quicker than it had gone in, you sat up and stared at the door for a moment. You weren't expecting anyone, why would there be someone there?

Getting up, you cautiously walked to the door and opened it like you were a criminal. 

“Good evening, this was dropped off for you at the front desk.”

It was Jonathan, holding a box.

“I didn't order anything.”

“No? Well, Eddie was very insistent that you got this while it was still warm.” 

Jonathan handed you the box, with a knife and fork.

“Have a good night.”

“Yeah, you too.” 

You hardly mumbled as you stepped into the room and shut the door. Sitting the box down, you opened it and found the lasagna you ordered at Enzo’s sat there in perfect condition still piping hot along with some garlic bread.

“Holy fuck.”  

The lasagna was delicious and the bread, you'd cleared your bed off and sat and ate it while watching reruns of your favourite show. You'd found yourself fiddling with Eddie’s ring as you watched your favourite characters fall in love for the millionth time. Somewhere between their first night together and their first fight, you fell asleep, the last couple of days catching up with you.

The morning came far too quickly, the light shining through the thin curtains causing you to groan. Such a nice sleep, (a rare occurrence for you) but welcomed all the same. The sound of your phone buzzing made you sit up, your fiancé’s face on the screen. A moment of guilt bubbled inside you as you thought about last night's events and how you’d been nearly touching yourself at the thought of Eddie. Picking up the phone cautiously, you took a breath and answered.

“Hey babe.”

“Hey, there is my girl. How are you?”

“I’m good… you?”

“Going crazy, missing you. I was thinking I could come join you, what do you say?”

You desperately gripped onto the annoyed sigh that wanted to escape your lips, forcing a smile you tried to sound happy.

“I’d love that baby, but I’m here for work. I need to work.” 

The lie fell so easily from your mouth, that you almost hated yourself for it.

“I know, but the wedding is so close and I miss you. The bed is so cold without you.”

“I miss you too, just a couple more days, I promise.”

Adam sighed, you could hear his frustration starting to bubble out. Of course, it was too much to ask for one phone call where he didn’t get angry at your job.

“Fine, your job is more important than our wedding, I get it.”

“Baby, no. I just have a deadline and I can't miss it. Once I’m done, me and you plus wedding plans okay?” 

“Fine, I guess I can wait a few more days.” 

“I love you.”

“You better.”

Adam hung up after that, and you sighed. You hated it when he was mad. Guilt was something that pooled inside you all too often. 

Once you’d showered and got yourself ready for the day. You packed up your things, ready for Eddie to come meet you. Once you’d done the last-minute check that you had everything, you made your way down to check out. Walking to the desk, a different guy stood there, with long hair, smelled of weed and looked a little like he was in his very own little world. 

“Hello? I want to check out please.” You said as you moved your hand to wave it in front of his face. Watching him come back to life, he looked at you and smiled. Handing him your key, you watched him as he typed on the computer and then looked at you. 

“Your bill has already been paid, so there won’t be any charges on your card.” “What? But, no, who?” “Good morning.” 

You couldn’t help but jump as you turned around and found Eddie standing there, rather close to you. Looking up at him, you found yourself swallowing hard as your mind went back to last night, all you could think about for a moment was how you were going to touch yourself to thoughts of him. 

“Morning, did you?” “I did. How was dinner?” 

“Very nice thank you, but you didn’t have to do that.” 

Eddie grinned at you, shaking his head as he did. Reaching down, he picked up your bag he wasn’t even going to attempt to tell you that he wanted to. “Just say thank you.” “Fine, thank you, Eddie.” You said, watching him grin as he looked at you. 

“You’re welcome. Come on, I have someone I want you to meet.” 

Following him out to the car, a girl was sitting in the backseat, with wavy brown hair, and dressed rather smart. 

“This is Nancy, I thought you could use some help with shops and things for your outfits so she’s going to come along.” Looking at Nancy, you smiled awkwardly.

“It’s nice to meet you.” You both said at the same time, only to let out a laugh. “Nance is a journalist, like the only one I can tolerate,” Eddie explained as he climbed in and started the car. 

You found yourself fiddling, you’d assumed it would just be you and Eddie today. He said he’d tell you about what happened in Vegas, but yet he brought someone along. Was he going to tell you, or would you remain in the dark? You couldn’t help but think and worry. “Drop us here Eddie, you aren’t coming with us,” Nancy demanded after a while. “Come on, let's go get you some stuff.”

“Let me know when you’re done,” Eddie said looking at you, smiling gently you nodded. “And then we will talk, I promise.” 

“I’m going to hold you to that Eddie.” You told him, before climbing out of the car and grabbing your bag. 

Nancy led you to a small little store, that honestly sold the kind of things you’d wear. You couldn’t help but feel thankful as you stood looking over the different items of clothing. You could feel an awkward air hanging between the two of you and you didn’t like it one bit, glancing at her from time to time you noticed that she looked like she wanted to say something. “You know, I’ve never met a reporter that can hold her tongue.” You mused attempting to strike up a conversation. 

“Sorry, it’s just… I dunno, I feel like I should be playing the protective friend card right now because Eddie means a lot to all of us, but at the same time, I want you to know that I loved your first book.” “You read it?” “Are you kidding? I have read it four or five times, I love it. Eddie borrowed it when he got here from Vegas, guess I now know why.” “You know it didn’t do very well.” “No, but it should’ve, it’s one of those unappreciated gems.” “Thank you, Nancy, that means a lot.” 

“Are you working on the sequel?”  “I am, I’ll have to send you a copy when it’s done.” “I would love that!” Nancy said practically fangirling in the middle of the store, causing you to smirk. 

“Can I ask you something?” 

There was a moment that hung in the air right then and there like Nancy knew you were about to ask something that probably wasn’t going to be a fun conversation like the one about your book.

“Okay...” 

“Were you friends with Eddie during the whole murder thing?”

The air hung thick as you started to pick up different outfits, Nancy was biting her lip hard unsure if she wanted to have this conversation with you. 

“I was, only just though. My little brother Mike was good friends with Eddie. Eddie ran a DnD group in school and kind of took in little lost lambs, it was really cute. To me, at that point, he was just the guy that was repeating senior year for the third time.” Nancy explained as she picked up different things and showed you. 

“So what happened?” 

“I don’t know if we should be talking about this,” Nancy said as she placed down a dress. 

“I can’t even get him to talk about Vegas, I just want to know. I know he didn’t do it.” You assured her as you draped another dress over your arm. 

“Eddie used to sell drugs, wasn’t a proud moment. But he did it to help his Uncle Wayne, you met him yesterday right?” Nancy paused for a moment as you nodded. “Chrissy, she was going through a bit of a mental breakdown. Things at home were really bad, her boyfriend Jason was a complete asshole and she turned to Eddie, needing some form of escape.” Walking with you to the changing rooms, you nodded quietly as you listened. 

“Anyway, it was the night of a big basketball game, Hawkins won and after instead of going with Jason, Chrissy left with Eddie. As you can imagine, he was pissed, majorly pissed.” Nancy continued. “Eddie and Chrissy finished their business, and Eddie offered to give her a ride home, she declined knowing she needed to go meet Jason and the others to celebrate. Eddie left to go and run a book to Dustin’s house and came back to find Chrissy murdered in his trailer.” 

Stepping out of the dressing room, you looked at Nancy to get her opinion on the dress, and she nodded in approval.

“Anyway, at this point, the sheriff was this complete asshole. He and some of the other guys from the station didn’t like Eddie, they thought he was like his dad. They said he was a waste of space, they would pull him over for random searches and shit, even though Eddie saved one of their lives. The only one that was good to Eddie was Hopper, but he had moved to California with his girlfriend and their kids.”

Paying for your items, you walked out together and headed to a shoe store together. Your mind was racing over the thoughts of all that had happened to Eddie, and you weren’t even sure that you were halfway through the story yet. But it was something you were desperate to know. 

“Anyway, Eddie ran. Freaked out, scared. He ran off and hid, can’t blame him really, the murder was gruesome and it terrified him. The police instantly thought it was Eddie and began this manhunt. But Dustin, as in the guy who is getting married, believed that Eddie was innocent. So he and a few of us went to find him, wanted to find his story. We found him way before the police were able to and kept him hidden. It was dangerous, but we all believed him, he wasn’t that sort of guy.” 

The pair of you stopped trying on shoes, sitting together, you listened to her words and bit down on your lip, you felt so sorry for Eddie. He didn’t deserve this. 

“Jason didn’t like that Eddie was hiding, he believed that Eddie had done something to Chrissy, well that was what it seemed like anyway. He started this hate campaign against Eddie and his friends in the Hellfire Club, and that is when more murders started happening, so many people were convinced it was Eddie. People started beating up Hellfire members, the club was cancelled, and there was a manhunt for Eddie.” 

“They caught him eventually right?” You asked looking up at Nancy. 

“Yeah, they caught him when he was trying to save Dustin from rubble after the earthquake. What they didn’t know at that moment though was our friend Max had been attacked and there was a witness this time. Two witnesses.” 

Nodding gently, you looked over at Nancy wanting to know more. 

“Lucas and Erica Sinclair, they saw it. They tried so hard to tell the cops that it wasn’t Eddie, but they wouldn’t listen, they were convinced that the evidence pointed to Eddie. It wasn’t until Hopper returned, that he listened to us and we managed to find out it was Jason that had done it, done it all. He was released, but never got an apology from those assholes though.”

“Poor Eddie, he went through a lot.” You say gently. 

“He did, but things are better now. You know he offered to buy Wayne a house. He declined so Eddie brought the trailer.”

You couldn't help but smile, Eddie was a good guy, a really good guy. A goofy loveable good guy who seemed to win people's hearts pretty easily.

“Did you guys ever find out why Jason did it?” 

“Yeah, he thought Chrissy was cheating on him with Eddie, blind rage. Then he killed a couple more to really frame Eddie. It's pretty sick and twisted.”

“Yeah, it is.” You mumbled gently as you looked at the shoes you'd just put on your feet. You couldn't help but feel sorry for Eddie, it must've been an incredibly hard time for him. At least he had friends to support him, that was something at least.

Finishing up the shopping, you said goodbye to Nancy and sent Eddie a text to let him know that you were done and heading back to the hotel to pick up your hire car and get it returned. Honestly part of you just wanted some time alone, you needed to think. It was a lot to take in and this deal that you'd agreed to felt like a heavy weight on your chest. 

The walk did nothing to clear your head though, you were even more worried about it all by the time you reached your car. Getting inside, you called Jenny, you needed a pep talk and she was usually the one to help when you felt like this.

“Hey sweetheart, it's so good to hear from you. Are you okay?”

“I…” You pause, unsure what to say. Were you okay? No, not at all.

“I…”

“What's wrong sweetheart?”

“I'm… I'm scared. Everything is just so overwhelming.”

“Hey, come on, talk to me,” Jenny said gently.

You began to explain all about the deal, what had happened last night, and how you lied to Adam.

“Sweetheart, it's okay. Calm down, everything is going to be okay.” Jenny assured you with the usual calming voice.

“I have to go to a wedding with strangers, I don't know anyone.”

“It's okay, you'll be alright I promise you.” 

“But…”

“Take it one step at a time, maybe start with finding out what happened in Vegas.”

“Okay, yeah you're right.” You said, sighing gently.

“If you need me I'm on the end of the phone okay? I'm always here when you need me.”

“Thanks, Jen.”

“Anytime. I can't wait till you come home.” 

“Bye Jen.”

Hanging up the phone, you sat there for a moment. Silence washed over you as you stared down at your phone. Home, did you even want to go there anymore? What was home? You weren't even sure anymore. 

Driving back to the rental lot, you filled out the forms and returned your car. Of course, now you were stuck with your shopping bags and had no idea where you were going, but at least it was raining, it could've been far worse if it had been.

“Hey,” 

Looking up, you saw Wayne pull up beside you. You couldn't help but smile. 

“Hey, Wayne.”

“Would you like a ride? I was heading to meet Eddie.” 

“I would love one thank you, I have no idea where I'm going.”

Watching him lean over and open the truck door, you climbed inside and sat down. 

“Thank you for this.”

“It's no problem, you're going to stay at his place right?”

“Uhh, yeah. How did you know?” 

“He called me last night, and asked to stay on the couch.”

“Oh, I didn't mean to throw him out of his own home.”

“Eddie wouldn't have offered unless he wanted you to feel comfortable and he certainly does,” Wayne explained as you headed to Eddie’s.

“Still…”

“He wouldn't have you wasting your money at a hotel when you could stay at his place.”

“He seems like a pretty selfless guy.”

“He cares about people; it's one of his best qualities.” Wayne paused for a moment before carrying on. “He's not had an easy life. The name Munson doesn't carry much respect around here.”

“But he has people who care about him here, that is something right?” 

“Yeah, it is.”

You fell into a comfortable silence, heading down the roads to Eddie’s place. You weren’t sure if you’d be able to remember this. But you hoped you could remember the way there eventually. 

As the car came to a stop, you looked at Wayne and smiled gently. 

“Come on then,” You said as you opened the car door. 

“I just wanted to give you a ride. I didn’t want to see you struggling with those bags.” 

You stared at Wayne as he admitted that he didn’t actually need to come here. Smiling gently, you leaned over and pressed a kiss to his cheek. 

“Thank you, Wayne.” You said as you pulled away.

Climbing out of the truck, you grabbed your bags and waved at him as you watched him drive away. He was a good guy, and you couldn’t help but feel thankful you had met him. Turning around, you looked up at the house in front of you. A set of steps was in front of you that led up to a beautiful stained glass window front door. Biting down on your lip, you walked up to the house and knocked gently on the door. 

The door flew open and Eddie grinned as he looked at you, reaching forward he took hold of your bags and moved so you could come inside. You looked around at the tall ceilings and beautiful wooden floors.

“This place is beautiful.” 

“Thanks, it was pretty run down when I brought it. Me and my friends done it up.” 

Your fingers ran along one of the high walls and you could feel him looking at you. It was almost as if you were unsure what to say to the other; it was incredibly awkward. You weren’t sure what to say. Your heart was racing seeing as you were alone with him. 

“How many bedrooms?” 

“Three.”  “So, why are you staying at the trailer park?” 

“Wha- I mean… Wayne… I wanted to give you some space, and I’ve not spent time with him in a while.” 

“He gave me a ride here.” 

You told him as you looked at a picture of Eddie, and two other lads, one in a baseball cap and one with quite a lot of product in his hair. 

“Yeah?” 

“Yeah, he said he was coming to see you… he lied.” 

You both let out a small laugh, he didn’t seem surprised by Wayne’s actions. 

“When I was a kid after my Mom passed. I had this dream of having this wonderful family life with my father, but he didn’t have the same.” Eddie began as he stood beside you looking at a different picture, one of him and Wayne on Eddie’s graduation day. 

“My dad would come take me home sometimes, we’d stay in our old family home. But then he’d go off drinking, Wayne would come to check on me and bring me back to the trailer park and I’d spend hours waiting for my dad to come pick me up.” 

You stared at Eddie in silence as he spoke. Slowly you reached out and touched his hand. 

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be, It took a while but then I realised that Wayne was the only family I needed.” 

You smiled gently, Wayne seemed to have such an impact on Eddie, maybe that was why he was such a good guy, Wayne had helped him a lot. 

“I grew up with a Dad, my mom died when I was young too. A car crash.” 

You told him gently, biting down on your lip. 

“I’m sorry, that couldn’t have been easy for you.” 

“It was hard, but my dad was amazing.” 

“Was it just the two of you?” 

“Yeah, but… I have a brother, but he’s not by blood.” 

“Sometimes that is the best way to have a family, the family I have these days only Wayne is my blood.” 

“Sounds familiar, I have friends that are like family now. Jenny and her husband, they’re my best friends. I don’t know if you met Jenny.” 

“Yeah, I did. She was nice, rather sweet.” 

“Yeah, she is nice, she picks me up when I’m feeling down.” 

You explained you missed Jenny, wishing that she was around. Why didn’t you ask her to come with you, it was a big mistake. 

“Anyway, let's show you to your room.” 

Following Eddie back to the hallway, you watched him pick up your bags. You moved to take them, but he swatted you away and smirked softly. 

“I’m a gentleman.” 

You laughed. It was a funny thought. Eddie Munson, the damn gentleman. 

Following him upstairs, you glanced down at his butt as you went, biting the inside of your lip. He had such a nice butt, and you weren’t going to miss a chance like that to look at it. Looking up, you noticed him look back at you, almost like he knew what you were doing. Blushing, you looked away quickly and followed him to the largest room in the house. 

“Here we are.”

He opened the door and you saw your bag sitting on the bed. Setting down your shopping bags, he looked at you with a grin. 

“Do you want to get some lunch?”

You couldn’t help but wonder if Eddie smiled all the time, or if it was just when he was around you. Not that it would’ve meant anything, sure you were married, but that didn’t mean anything. None of this meant anything, you’d be back home soon enough. 

“Hey, you okay?” 

Looking up at Eddie, as you saw the look of concern in his eyes, you smiled and nodded. 

“Lunch would be great… But, there is something I want to talk to you about first.” 

“What is the matter?” 

There was a tone in Eddie’s voice, that clearly said he was nervous. 

“What happened in Vegas Eddie?” 

His smile completely disappeared, and he stared at you with a nervous expression etched onto your face.

“You might want to sit down, it’s a long story.” 

Taking a seat on the bed, you watched Eddie take a seat on a chair and begin to fiddle with the rings on his fingers. Silence fell across the room, as you sat waiting for him to start talking. Glancing up at him, he smiled an awkward smile. 

“It started when I noticed you in the crowd...”

//YOUR ANON IS OFF PRETEND YOU DONT SEE WHO THIS IS//

The kitchen is a mess- spilled flour and broken eggs on the floor, the container of sugar is practically licked clean. The fridge left open, a carton of creamer is knocked over and what few drips remain now sit in a sticky pool outside the ajar door. Cabinets opened, drawers knocked off their tracks, half-eaten vegetables and fruits, a loaf of bread with several bites taken out of it (and the plastic packaging that housed it). Broken and chipped plates. It looks as if a herd of goats decimated the kitchen.

//I SEE NOTHING WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MYSTERIOUS STRANGER FROM FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS//

Jon stands there, just stands there. He needs a minute.

Open window, ah.

He checks Tumblr... as he thought.

He decides to know nothing. Clearly, Jervis went on another sugar bender in his newly acquired werewolf form. Nevermind the clearly human bitemarks or the tiny little shoeprints and hand smudges that were clearly not werewolf in nature by any means.

Shut up, it's obvious what happened. He's stupid, let him be stupid. Big dumb idiot don't know nothing.

"Molly!" Jon calls in a somewhat terse tone despite trying to keep his annoyance at his kitchen being wrecked bottled up. The pause of her answering him is filled with him lighting up a soothing cigarette even though he couldn't savor the nicotine right now given that he was a Godforsaken vampire. Just the motion was calming. "Yes, sir- Oh." Molly, who looks about as pallid as Jon does, but for entirely different reasons, answers with messy hair and still in her pajamas. Not being able to find a reason to get out of bed until she was called for. "Seems like we had another werewolf in the kitchen incident." He says with a sour smile. She moves a little to hide behind the corner some. Not afraid of him, but all the same intimidated by an angry male figure due to... past interactions. She knew he knew and that meant she'd done something wrong, if only to her. Jon didn't think she had. He just didn't like the mess. Jon exhales through his nose forcing himself to calm down more. He couldn't be terse with Molly. He knew better. "Think you can give me a hand?" She nods and ventures out to start gathering the closest broken plates. Jon licks his teeth looking out the open window looking at the footprints leading to the other warehouse in the mud outside. Well, it could be worse. At least everyone was fed. He shrugs and gets to work while making a mental list of what to get from the store.

VegasPete from my Perspective Re-Cap

Warning:: You probably won't like what I have to say and I know several of you won't agree. Don't say you weren't warned.

To understand my perspective, we have to start a lot sooner than most think VegasPete started. I have made more than one post indicating that I felt that Pete had a minor crush on Vegas. That Vegas recognized it and teased Pete about it. You can read those opinions here under the VegasPete section. Episode 11 had me back stepping though. I'm not off course on Pete but I was off course on the depth of feelings that Vegas had for Pete. I'm sure that shocks you. I think everyone expects Vegas to fall hard but in my opinion, he started the fall sooner than Pete being captured. Why Luta!? Well, let me explain.

Now, I don't think either ever planned for them to come together. I think both expected to feel what they felt and never two shall meet, other than the bit of teasing/flirting Vegas does as pictured above. I believe that Vegas took note of Pete, when Pete stood up to Khun and wouldn’t tie up Macau. The only person that Vegas cares about and would willingly put before himself is his brother. So I do think this meant something to him. That’s also why he and his brother were more amused by Pete following them than upset.

Now somewhere between that time and the first dungeon torture scene in episode 7, Vegas became more than interested in Pete. This is speculation of course, you turn the painting a certain way and somebody will see something different, but I have a story going in my head and I don't see proof against it yet. Episode 7 in my opinion brought a lot of Vegas and Pete moments. Vegas recognizing Pete for the freak he is in that dungeon and offering Pete food on more than one occasion. As well as Pete paying respect to Vegas' mother. That's when Vegas really started showing his true face to Pete, no one else, just Pete. In the warehouse when they are in the thick of danger, Vegas checks on Pete. There were a lot of little things that people would call bread crumbs but for me, once put together, added up to a damn loaf. Yet at this point, I still didn't understand the depth of Vegas' feelings. I would have said that Pete felt more. That's what makes this pair so interesting, they are hard to read.

The story further continues in episode 9. Let me say that I truly believe that Pete has feelings for Vegas but is conflicted about those feelings. I'm basing this on previous actions and from the words he spoke in Korean while drunk, that he feels loyalty to Kinn and the family. Then he speaks of being separated from his love. Well who could Pete's love be? Was he just talking gibberish?

When Pete is sent to spy on Vegas once again. He tries to get out of it because he knows he is bad at it. He also knows he has conflicting feelings. Yet he tries to do his job and is caught. Once again Vegas’ full attention is on Pete, with the help of his brother they guide him into the temple. I want to point out that in all the interactions with Pete that Vegas has, he shows a large amount of humor and patience. We honestly don't see Vegas get angry at Pete until much later, never mind that Pete has been caught in situations where it would make sense for Vegas to be angry. We know that Vegas has a temper so why isn't he getting mad?

If you aren't familiar with a sadist, you would miss the whole by play of flirting that Vegas is doing. It looks like Vegas is just attempting to make Pete uncomfortable but it’s so much more. In true sadist style, Vegas flirts. He also reveals a lot. Which, I respect if others don't see what I do. Vegas is a master manipulator so he's hard to read but that temple scene was not just a simple by pass.

When it’s time to make merit, Vegas takes this very seriously, Vegas moves to proper sitting position. Pete offers to go get a different jug of water for Vegas. Vegas responds with sincerity looking Pete in the eyes. “We make merit together. So in the next life we will get to see each other again” Vegas is not playing, that statement was truth. I don't think a lot of people understood the how significant merit taking together is. Giving merit is fundamental to a lot of belief systems but essential in Buddhist ethics. It is a beneficial and protective energy, which accumulates as a result of good deeds, acts, or thoughts. Further more these merits brings good and wanted results, determines the quality of the next life. It contributes to a person's growth towards enlightenment. There is more but that's the basics. So, you see how important merit is and doing merit together is for families and couples. It's to bring them closer together and insure a place together in the next life. It's essentially putting your hand out, taking the other person's hand and saying "always and forever" While it's not a wedding vow, it's still a promise.

Now the moment that gave me pause was the above seen. Vegas always talks so respectfully to everyone, that's part of his mask but not Tawan. Tawan he literally talked to like he was irrelevant but then gave him a Dom apology before "killing" him. He looked him right in the eyes as he did it too. It made me realize two things, Vegas does prescribe to the D/s element and he isn't easy to read at all.

Then Vegas turns to shoot Porsche. He aims for the head here instead of the chest. Now we know we have to look deeper with Vegas so why would he aim for a head shot. To make sure Porsche doesn't suffer, just as he asked of Porsche himself. Now it's very important to note these two moments between Vegas, Tawan, and Porsche because it's going to be pretty important when discussing how he treats Pete.

Now we see an angry Vegas. It was also at this point that I realized how much Vegas cares for Pete. Don't get it twisted, I'm not saying him torturing Pete is okay. It's just my opinion that there is more depth there. Vegas is a Sadist without a doubt but as I pointed out all throughout episode seven, his excitement isn't usually amped like this. It shows differently. This, has everything to do with it being Pete and there are multiple layers to that.

A) Vegas is pissed, because he cares for Pete. Here is the guy he has shown his true self to, who paid respects to his mom, who he wants to spend his next life with, betraying him. Pete proved he is loyal to the main family and it pisses Vegas off. Do you know the strength and endurance it takes to torture someone?? I do. It’s a lot. You don’t get this level of angry intensity unless you are invested.

B) Vegas knows too much about Pete. A normal person can not take that level of pain but Vegas knew Pete could. This is someone he can get down and dirty with and he does. I'm not saying this is okay people. Just because Pete likes pain doesn't make this consensual. However, in my opinion, it was clear that Pete liked the pain and Vegas liked that.

That's all for Part 1. This is dedicated to several people @kinnswife @ellaspore @diazaid85 and of course coconuts mafia. I understand that this isn't going to fit with everyone and that's okay. I respect if you don't see what I see. If you want to discuss it, that's fine but don't come at me. Part 2 will cover Episode 11 part 1.

[we-stan-cale]

Cale Character Study

I feel like we know so little about Kim Rok Soo that first impressions are misleading. This will probably contain spoilers if you haven’t read the translations yet.

First, you have to understand that Cale lies to himself. He acts like he’s all stoic and uncaring, but his own friends have noted that his actions don’t match his words and facial expressions.

We see this very early on with On and Hong. He talks about how he doesn’t care, but he not only gives them bread when he first sees them... he brings meat (and more) for them when he next goes to feed the tree.

In a similar fashion, just before they encounter Venion Stan he has a little interaction with Choi Han where he decides he doesn’t like Choi Han’s blank expression, and says something to change it.

Choi Han, and others, also note that they follow Cale in part because his actions bely his words. Cale’s plans always try to preserve life and protect the average citizen. He also takes care of his people, even picking up clothing for the Tigers when they were shopping in Vegas.

But that was before we even learned that much about his life as Kim Rok Soo. Now that we know that he came from a post-apocalyptic Korea, that he had been fighting monsters practically his entire life, that he lost the people he was closest to... and went on to lead a team for years...

Rereading the beginning just hits different.

I don’t know if he was ever serious about his slacker life. Choi Jung Soo indicated his farming dream was just the sort of thing one said because they never knew when they were going to die. He knew the chances of it really happening were slim.

Did Kim Rok Soo feel the same about being a slacker? Maybe. He definitely wasn’t acting like a slacker.

He transmigrated into a novel, and although he knew the continent was going to descend into war... a human war probably didn’t feel as bad as the disasters he already had lived through. What did he care about any of the nations? If he could avoid the fighting, he could live more peacefully than he did in a world overflowing with monsters.

This all changed over the course of the novel of course. (I think there were a couple of key moments in this, even aside from his little found family. There was when Ron lost his arm, and he realized he considered himself responsible for his poeple. And then there was when he learned that the upcoming war was actually part of the plot of the secret organization. That the Northern Alliance, Arm, and the Empire were all working together.)

I absolutely love Kim Rok Soo, because the story doesn’t just work because he was given the cheat codes in that ‘guidebook’ Birth of a Hero. Nor is it just because of all the Ancient Powers he’s collected, or the abilities he brought with him. Quite a lot of it rests on Kim Rok Soo himself. On the experience he had, on his ability to analyze information and act on it. He recognized the possibility of creating a naval base. He knew how to work with and around the power structure as it existed (and bolstered the Crown Prince from the beginning). He knew how to use the skills of the people around him to create the conditions for success. He knew how to collect information, even from captured enemies, and he knew how to piece together the bits that he got.

He also had lived long enough to work through quite a few of his own issues. He realized that the death of his team was tragic... but just one of those things that happens sometimes.

But I digress. At the beginning of the story, we have Kim Rok Soo... a talented team leader who had lost everyone he ever cared about. Who had spent well over a decade fighting monsters and living on the edge.

Transported into a new world, with nobody he had any real ties to... and of course he was focused on saving up some money and finally achieving his dream.

And then, even if he doesn’t admit it to himself, that changed.

[aladybetween2majors]

My reply to @myezblog ask about Vegaspete episode 6 interaction analysis.

Before I get into this I just want to say that I found it f-ing hilarious that of all people to tail Vegas the main family would send Pete and Pol, two bodyguards Vegas has seen several times. Apart from plot convenience, it makes me think that perhaps they underestimate Vegas's ability to take notice of the people he comes in contact with. Also I wondered which member of the main family sent them there and my first guess is Kinn but the question is when did he ask? Is it an ongoing thing or is it a new assignment for them? We have seen Pete's reaction to Vegas and apart from him simply being a member of the minor family that they are not on good terms with there seems to be more

Now onto the interaction, when we first see Pete and Pol we hear Pete ask who is better? Him or Vegas's bodyguard. Take note that we don't really see any bodyguards around Vegas and we never have, I think this is an indication that unlike the main family's rigid way of doing things the minor family is much more lax, the question is interesting though as we are not given any context to interpret it. It is just thrown out there and I think it is meant to be taken that way. Pete is merely asking for the sake of it, he is asking on the thought that if there is any confrontation who would be better.

The second part of the scene is when Vegas and Macau come passing by, I saw this in another post and I agree with it, it was pointed out that having him with Macau shows another part of him. Up until now we have only seen Vegas like a snake and now we see him just walking past with his brother seeming normal. I thought the seem however fleeting gave a warm view, and also the lack of bodyguards (none that we can see anyway) is indicative of the difference between main and minor family. The carefree nature of the brothers is also to be noted, while Kinn, Tankhun, and Kim obviously have great affection for each other there is still a clear divide between them that doesn't seem to exist for Vegas and Macau.

Then Vegas says 'do you think they know we know' you immediately think who is he talking about. The surface answer and the one that I am going to go with is that he is talking about Pete and Pol, who are obviously very bad at surveillance. they walk by and Pete jumps on Pol, I take that as comedic and don't think there is anything more to it.

The real interaction though is a mix of comedic and unsettling. When Vegas comes and gives the bag to Pete, it is a clear statement. He is saying "I see you and you don't scare me, in fact you amuse me. I don't see you as a threat, I see you as a cute toy."

While Pol doesn't seem to get the message (taking out the bread happily, like does he have any sense of self preservation?) Pete definitely does. Everything Vegas does here is merely to unsettle. He wants them to feel that way because it amuses him. That is why he leaves the condom in there on purpose and when he comes back his hand brushes Pete's and he speaks in flirty manner. He does it not because he is really interested but rather to make Pete uncomfortable. He talks in a sexual way because he is aware that sex makes most people uncomfortable. What he does is a typical soft intimidation tactic used by shameless people, and Vegas is most certainly that. This is just another way he and Kinn differ. While Kinn is comfortable in his sexuality he is still quite sedate and low key about it. But I believe Vegas is the opposite, he isn't just comfortable in being gay he sees himself as a sexual being and that is just one of the weapons in his arsenal.

I don't have much thoughts on Pete's reactions because I think they are pretty straight forward. There isn't much hidden in his view of Vegas, I think what we see is what is truly there. He is uncomfortable and wary because he can sense who Vegas is but we shouldn't fail to take into consideration the fact that at the end of the day Pete is still an employee and Vegas is related to the family he works for so he is technically his boss. Pete is also scared of (or at least careful around) Kinn because that divide exists and he isn't Porsche who can just trample over the rules, that is the reason why Porsche captures the attention first and Pete doesn't. He is a rule follower through and through.

I still maintain my belief that Vegas's interest still hasn't been peaked, Pete amused him and that's all for now. His (evil 😁😁) eye will only fully come on Pete when Pete is in his chains and he sees that Porsche is truly lost to him.

@myezblog I hope this is up to what you want. I might have overwritten though 🤭🤭 glad to have answered 🤗🤗.
