You are my Christmas Miracle

"Here we go. You are such a sweetheart, aren't you now baby. Hmm here this is your treat for being such a good boy" Pete cooed at little golden retriever puppy who eagerly took the treat he was given happily. And Pete chuckled removing his glows and put them into the bin, not missing the way the puppy munching on his treat.

"Thank you so much Doctor. Alfie is only being this gentle with you. He doesn't even let me see his wounds" the young lady thanks Pete with a big smile and relief as Pete smiled at her.

"Ahh, it's normal miss Jessica, sometimes puppies have trust issues when they get hurt. But don't worry he is completely fine now. Just follow my prescription" Pete kindly said when his assistant handover her medicine packet.

"Thank you, I'll do that. And Merry Christmas to both of you"she greeted.

"Merry Christmas miss Jessica"

"Merry Christmas to you too"

Doctor Pete and his assistant Porsche both greeted her back before she leave with her puppy.

"Haaaa... finally it's the last patient for today Doc. And I can see that our off time is now late by 3 hours and you will miss your family dinner again tonight if you wait anymore minute here. So why don't you go home right now as soon as possible?" Porsche asked looking at the tired doctor.

Pete smiled removing his coat and putting it away after folding it neatly.

"Yes, that's a good idea Porsche and I hope you understand that you are also invited to that said dinner, so why don't you hurry and close the clinic?" Pete answered quickly gathering his stuff.

"Fuck, almost forgot" Porsche cursed before running towards the door to lock it. Pete chuckled looking the way Porsche turned around the open tag to close the side.

Pete and Porsche are Doctor and Assistant. But also they are best friends, cousin brothers and neighbors. So it's a tradition that their whole family will have family dinners for the whole Christmas week. But it's kinda a big black mark if you can't participate to those dinner nights.

And Pete is a very kind and melting doctor who never thinks about anything other than an innocent animal lifes and he always sacrifice his time for animals, not afraid to get the black mark by not participating in the family dinner. Today is such a day and there are only three days left for Christmas and he already missed 4 dinner nights now. And Pete didn't wanted Porsche to go with his problem too as he let Porsche go early and handled all the emergency animal cases himself. And when he finally closes the Vet clinic and goes home, those dinner nights are all finished and the whole family members were gone to their own houses but only with disappointed with him.

Pete didn't care about that and he was happy that he saved few extra animals instead of those dinners.

"Okay all are done. Let's go" Porsche said happily because finally today Pete can join the dinner night. But making his happy face go dark, a loud and aggressive yell came out of the door, with a nonstop banging on the door.

"Hey, open the door. Open up, we have an emergency animal here"

"Fucking hell" Porsche murmured and look back. Pete wasn't in the office as he was gone to the washroom inside.

Good. Maybe Porsche have to get a decision and send away this one for Pete's sake. Porsche got the decision before quickly open the door before Pete can hear the noise.

And the second Porsche opened the door he immediately jumped back because a tall, and very angry looking man came inside pushing and slamming the door carrying a injured cat.

"Hey, hey man you can't barge in like that. We are closed. Can't you read the board?" Porsche yelled in anger as he saw the rudeness of the man. And seems like he was hotheaded more than him.

"I don't give a fuck, are you the doctor? I want you to fix him. NOW!" the man barked in with a death glare and Porsche got a step back.

"I'm not the doctor. But we are closed already. why don't you take it to the other clin.." Porsche started but cut off by the very aggressive stranger.

"No, of course not. You gonna help him, right now, right here" the man screamed and pulled out a gun but not aimed it at Porsche but still Porsche started to shaking in fear when he heard his bestie coming back.

"Porsche what's going on? Who's yelling like that? Ohh" Pete came around and the first thing he saw is the injured cat held by the man. As Pete immediately stormed at the man.

"God, what happened to this little one? Porsche I need the blades and med immediately" Pete announced in a hurry as he took the cat from the man without even looking at him but the man's eagle like sharp eyes were already glued to the doctor even though Pete didn't see that.

Porsche sighed in disbelief as he ran behind Pete sneaking at the gun in man's hand.

"Doc, you going to miss it again, are you sure about this?" Porsche asked looking back at the gun as the man also followed them to the treatment area.

"Yes! Of course. I'll never leave this baby to die here, now hurry up and pass me the torch" Pete said while inspecting the cat for more injuries, such as cuts, bruises, or swelling other than the major one. then he started to gently feel the cat's body to identify areas of pain, swelling, or abnormal movement which caused the cat to groaned in pain.

"Oh, I get it sweetheart, I get it. Don't worry you gonna be alright soon. I promise. Okay?" Pete mumbled and the man was staring at the doctor in disbelief.

The doctor is absolutely gorgeous, sweet and kind. And he didn't even bother to think twice about whatever he should be doing right now instead of treating the cat, as his stupid assistant said earlier. man's face lit with a small smile as he saw a truly kind man for the first time in his life.

"What happened to him? Did you see it?" The man didn't understand that the cute doctor was talking to him as he was lost in his thoughts. Because he didn't get any answer Pete finally lift his glanced to look at the man who brought the injured cat.

"Mr? Can you plea..Ohh" Pete started but his voice stopped as he saw the man Infront of him.

Tall, muscular with a broad chest and abs. Dark thick hair all jelled and styled neatly. The most beautiful dark black eyes which now staring into his eyes. That sharp jawline. shit. Pete quickly shook his little bubble as he cleared his throat.

"Um Mister, can you tell me what happened?" Pete asked this time glancing at the cat more this time not at the handsome man.

"Oh, you asking me? Sorry.. I... I was distracted by.. um.. " the man babbled as Pete glanced at him once then he was smiling sweetly at the man. And the man felt like he is floating in the clouds. How can man smile like that?

"Don't worry Mister. Your cat is going to be fine soon. I'm treating him already" his kind was like honey to man's ears and is that... Is that? Holy shit is that dimple? Fuck. The man was again zoned out as Porsche rolled his eyes then snapped Infront of his eyes.

Man immediately glared at Porsche.

"The doctor is talking to you" Porsche spit out as the man glanced at Pete again who's now cleaning the injured cat for his treatments.

"Um, I'm Vegas. And that's not my cat" the man said in a hoarse voice.

"Okay, Mr.Vegas. I get it. And do you know what happened to this little guy here?" Doctor 's voice is like talking to a toddler and his whole attention is now on cat. And Vegas wanted to ask him to look at him a little bit too.

"Um, yeah. We were rushing back to the main family but unexpectedly this cat ran Infront of our car and my stupid driver didn't break because he was too much stupid and.. I had to turn the wheel but it's too late and it got injured" Vegas burst out with worried voice as Pete nodded at him.

"That's a great work Mr. Vegas. Thank you for saving his life. And now you can go with my assistant and fill the forms while I handle this, can we now?" Pete asked kindly as Vegas's forehead creased in question.

"What forms?"

"Um, not much, just information. Porsche will help you with that, right?" This time Pete glanced at Porsche as he signed walking into the reception and bring a form and a pen.

"Here, fill this" he put it on the counter near where Vegas was standing now.

"Porsche, I'm already done with this little buddy. And you should go home now. I'll catch up. You go right now" Pete said not taking his eyes off the cat as Porsche huffed half angrily and half sarcastically.

"No way I'm leaving you with that psychopath" Porsche answered in a low voice as Pete glared at him. Vegas was filling the form but he obviously heard them as he gritted his teeth but before he turn around,

"Porsche, behave. Where is your manners. This kind man was just trying to save a life. We can't scold him we should thank him" Pete grumbled. The corners of Vegas's mouth turned up as he finished the form as he pushed it with the pen. Then turned around.

"Yeah, whatever. But I'll never leave you with a psychopath whose carrying a gun" Pete huffed again but Pete head snapped with that.

"A GUN?" Pete's voice was small but thrilled. Shit, the cute little doctor got scared of my gun? Shit. Vegas cursed inside his head and looked at his hand with the gun.

That same time Pete saw the gun as his eyes went wide.

"Mr. Vegas? Why did you bring a gun at my clinic? We are saving animals here, not killing" this time Pete's voice was angry and confused as Vegas quickly acted.

He rushed out of the door and then again came back with empty hands. He should handover it to someone outside.

Vegas smiled apologizly at Pete.

"My apologies doctor. But I was in a hurry and when I trying to come inside, this your dumb assistant tried to send us away telling that the clinic is closed so I had to get it my gun out" Vegas pointed out.

"Porsche, you can't do that, we have talked about this lot's of times" Pete groaned as Porsche rolled his eyes.

"You are going to miss it tonight again for the fifth time. That's why I tried. But who cares. Whatever " Porsche huffed and walked inside of the clinic like he is pissed off.

Pete sighed shaking his head but looking at Vegas whose now looking at Pete with soft eyes.

"Sorry Mr. Vegas. He was just trying to help me in his ways. But you can't show your gun and threaten people like that. You know?" Pete didn't forget to add as Vegas smirked at him.

"Yeah, I understood the doctor, it's the job. You know. Had to take it around" Vegas said in a soft voice as Pete smiled back. Finally removing his glows.

"Oh, I see, forces or cop?" Pete asked interesting voice as Vegas gulped. He didn't wanted to lied to little doctor. But also he didn't wanted to scared him off. So,

"Yeah, kinda like" Vegas smiled.

Pete nodded smiling back.
"Here we go. The little boy must be exhausted. He will sleep some more time" Pete said coming around the table as Vegas get closer to him to see now treated cat.

"And you have to take care of him well. Don't let him go out. Keep him in the floor. On a comfortable place with warm surface. I'll give you a prescription so you can give him tablets with his meal" Pete explained as Vegas's eyes darted at doctor.

"Wait, doctor. You mean I? I have to do this?"

"Um. Yeah, obviously. You brought the cat Mr Vegas? And don't you tell me that you were planning to ditch the kitty after this?" Pete put one hand in his waist and other point at Vegas. Like he is threatening him as Vegas gulped.

"Um, not at all. But doctor. I'm... I don't have Pet and I don't know how to take care of cats" Vegas burst out and unexpectedly Pete started to laugh out. That one hand still in his waist. And oh fuck Vegas was a goner and his heart filled with imaginary flowers and butterflies for the first time.

Seems like Pete was having hard time to stop his laughter as Vegas was now grinning like an idiot, mentally note down to do anything to see Pete's laugh like this forever.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. But it's kinda hilarious Mr. Vegas"

"Please. Just Vegas is enough" Vegas quickly added as Pete bit corner of his lips.

"Okay. Vegas. I'm sorry for laughing. But don't worry. I'll help you with that. Here. Take these" Pete walked towards his table and picked up few brouchers on the table before handling to Vegas.

"Here. Read them carefully. You can learn how to take care of cats after this. And for more information you can search Google too" Pete said kindly but Vegas brain was working in another side as,

"Um, doctor, in any case, I mean if anything happens to him, I don't know what to do so can I have your number too?" Vegas grind as Pete looked at him half surprised half shyly but to Vegas relief he nodded.

"Okay, why not" Pete mumbled as Vegas's grin widened and he gave Pete his phone.

Pete took it and quickly typed his number and gave back it to Vegas. And absolutely ignored the way his whole body shivered when his fingers touching the handsome man's fingers Infront of him.

"And, if may I ask you are Doctor..."

"Oh sorry. I'm Pete" Pete quickly said when his cheeks getting pink and blaming himself for acted like a teenager college girl for no reason.

"So..." Vegas started.

"Yeah, you can.. um you can take him now" Pete smiled.

"But, how? I don't know how to. I mean I was just going home and I don't have anything with me, so I saw you have all the pet items too. Can you please help me with choosing something for Mr. Gray?" Vegas asked innocently.

"Mr.Gray?" Pete asked in amused.

"Yeah, since I'm going to have a pet in my life I should give him a name. Right? So I'm gonna call him Mr. Gray" Vegas shrugged as Pete chuckled.

"You are fast Vegas. And you are learning so quickly. Good, good. and yes. I'll help you, come" and with that Pete helped Vegas to choose an cat carrier, soft blanket for cats, and some other stuff for Mr Gray. Then Pete help Vegas to add the cat into the carrier safety.

"Woah, thank you doctor, you know for everything. For saving him, and saving me here too, huh huh helping me with the stuff " Vegas nodded at the carrier as Pete shook his hand.

"Oh it's nothing and it's my job after all. And by the way, Pete is enough. He said copying Vegas. the last part made his cheeks getting hot.

"Okay, sure. Pete. Um then.. we will go now. And seriously thank you for saving little one again"

"You are welcome Vegas" Pete smiled.

Vegas wanted to wait more, talk more, learning about the little cute doctor more but he should leave the doctor for the god sakes. At least Vegas got his number and he knows where to find the cute doctor after all. So no worries. He sighed and smiled at Pete for the last time.

"Good night Pete and Merry Christmas"

"Night Vegas, Merry Christmas and Merry Christmas to you too Mr. Gray" Pete chuckled seeing the way Vegas walking out of the door.

"Well, here we are, missing the dinner night again. Pete you are in a serious trouble right now" Pete gasped when he heard Porsche behind him.

"I know Porsche. And I really don't care about that "

.....

"How many times do I need to tell you this? That at least act like a family "

"Papa, I already told you. Every time I tried to close the clinic another patient would come. You are a doctor too papa, So tell me how could I.."

"Oh shut up Pete. How dare you to compare me and you as doctors, huh. I'm a specialist and the highest ranking doctor and you are just a vet. Fucking vet. And patient? Huh what a joke? You don't get patient Pete you only get animals. And don't try to teach me how to work. You only have to close that little shop and come home and sit in the table as a family. That's all you have to do. But you always failed to do that tiny thing like always. You are just a black mark for the whole family and I'm so disappointed just like every other day. Now just get out of my office " Dr. Nadan yelled angrily as Pete gritted his teeth and stomered out of the room.

Tears running down of the eyes as he ran towards the garden. The night is so cold and it's freezing but Pete wanted to breathe freely because he felt like he can't breathe. The moment he sat on the cold swing near the pool he started to cry slowly pouring out all the pressure and anger.

And suddenly he felt a soft warm blanket around him and he knew who's that as he didn't lift his head.

The blanket secured around him giving him the warmth and then he was hugged by side tightly.

Of course it's his bestie Porsche.

"Hmmm. It's okay Pete. You have gone through that bullshit lecture so many times. So just forget it" Porsche mumbled into Pete's temple as he hiccuped.

"Yes, it's just a normal thing right now but still those words are so sharp" Pete wiped his eyes.

"It's okay buddy. Everything is going to be okay. I promise you. This is Christmas Pete. The miracles happen in this time you know?" Porsche tried to joke and Pete sniffed then chuckled.

"Yeah? Since when you are into Christmas miracles Porsche? you will tell me that a prince charming will come on a white horse to bring me next" Pete chuckled.

"Well, who knows man, who knows. Will see" Porsche tickled Pete as both of them started tickling contests laughing loudly.

.....

"Well, Mr. Gray you are full of wonders, aren't you now? I thought you were dead, but you were badass kitten and lived. Of course thanks to doctor Pete. And then here you are, inside the room of the most dangerous mafia heir ever lived and became his first Pet" Vegas chuckled at that part rolling his eyes because he said it by himself.

"And most importantly I got a chance to meet Pete because of you" Vegas smiled talking to the cat, and petting him softly who is now sleeping comfortablely.

Vegas couldn't forget about Pete for a second after he come back from the vet. The gorgeous and kind doctor was ghosting all over his head. Vegas's main bodyguard had to ask him if he is okay twice now because he caught Vegas smiling himself.

And now Vegas was stalking the little doctor in Google but cursed few times because of the lack of details.

He was only able to find out that Pete's parents were both high ranking specialist doctors. And he is the only child in the family. Vegas sighed pushing his laptop away. Then he checked the cat again to make sure he is sleeping comfortably. Then he came to bed.

In the vet clinic that stupid assistant act strangely though. He was saying something about Pete going to missing or something like that. What that could be? That idiot seems like so upset that Pete accept to treat Mr. Gray instead of closing the clinic. Hmmmm and Pete seems like he knows that idiot too much. That's why Pete asked him to go home and he will come later. Wait are they partners or something? Shit. No that can't be. Pete wasn't wearing any ring. But it's a very weak point to judge anything like that. Vegas groaned and wasn't able to control his heart.

Wait, I got his number, right? Soooo maybe...

No, it's not a good impression. Pete will think that I'm a psychopath, just like that dumbass said.

Arrrrr... But I need to talk to him right now or my head will blast.....

Vegas was staring at the ceiling for a moment, then

Fuck it.

Vegas grabbed his phone and pressed Pete's number.

.....

Porsche finally took Pete into his room after making him feel better.

"Okay now wash your face and come to bed. I'm gonna crash here tonight man. I'm too tired to go back to my house" Porsche pushed Pete into the bathroom as Pete snorted.

"Really Porsche? your house is beside my house and still you are a lazy to go. Jeez. Whatever. Just get another blanket from the closet. I'm not going to share mine with you. It's too cold here" Pete called out closing the bathroom door.

Porsche stood up to check the new blanket for him when he saw Pete's phone ringing and he glanced at the name.

Hmmmm..... Unknown number?

Porsche wasn't sure who is that but he knew Pete is not a good mood to deal with anything else today. So maybe he should answer that. Porsche though and then he answered the call.

"Hello?"

The second Vegas heard the voice he knew that isn't Pete. His brows drew together. Who the fuck is that?

"Um, doctor Pete please?" Vegas spoke calmly.

"Yeah, he is little bit busy now, may I know whose speaking?"

Busy at this time? It's almost midnight. What the fuck? Whose answering Pete's phone at this time? Vegas gritted his teeth.

"I'm one of his patients and I needed to talk to him, and may I know whose this?" Vegas said controlling himself and boom. Porsche couldn't hold his smirking as he recognized that hoarse voice this time.

It's that asshole Vegas from earlier in the vet. Aren't he? Well well well, looks like my little cousin bro is stepped up huh? Exchange phone numbers already? Shia Pete.

Porsche chuckled silently then determined to drag something on the asshole.

"Well, I'm his husband. Pete can't talk now an....." Porsche was going on but suddenly Pete came out of the bathroom and his eyes went high as he heard what Porsche said.

"Porsche!!!" Pete yelled making Porsche jump out and giggled at Pete, covering the phone.

*What the fuck are you doing* Pete mouthed before dragging phone from Porsche 's hand

Vegas from the other side was shaking with the anger and the hurt he felt as he was almost throw his phone over the wall. But before that,

"Hello whose this?" A kind, soft voice came through the phone, which Vegas was dying to hear.

Fuck.

"Um hello, Pete? It's.. it's Vegas here"

"Oh, Vegas? What happened? Is everything alright? Is Mr. Gray alright?" Pete burst out as his eyes still wide. He hit Porsche shoulder whose chuckling right now, still rolling in his bed.

Vegas didn't planned what to ask Pete when he calling. And now after hearing about husband thing, Vegas only got one problem. Whose that? Who the fuck told himself as your husband?

"Ah, yes yes everything is alright. He is fine. He is sleeping. I... I... Just wanted to know um.." Vegas wanted to ask about who's that talked to him as his husband, and if he really married.

"Pete"

"Yes Vegas"

"Um,,, what should I feed Gray when he is wake up?" Vegas can hear Pete chuckles through the phone. Haaaaaah it's like a soul cure to Vegas.

"First, you can feed him Luke warm milk, Vegas. Then try that wet cat food"

"Alright Pete. Thank you "

"Not a problem Vegas" Pete was all smiley when he talked with Vegas, and Porsche started to act teasingly like Pete talking to the phone as Pete slapped Porsche again on the shoulder.

"Um Pete?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, Vegas I'm alright, why did you ask so?"

"Um, nothing, nothing, just. I was little bit upset that I crashed in late night and you know "

"It's totally fine Vegas. I already told you. Please don't worry " Pete comfort.

"Hm. Okay Pete then.." Vegas tried but he couldn't ask what he wants to ask. But Pete understood that he wanted to ask something.

"Vegas do you want to know anything else?"

"Um.. no, no that's all I wanted to ask.. huh huh sorry for disturbing this ti.." Vegas was saying but then he can hear a loud voice from the other side.

"Oh baby put that phone aside already and come back to bed again. I want to continue what we were doing"

Vegas gritted his teeth as he saw the red. Who the fuck is that?

"Porsche, shut up and go home"

Vegas could hear as it ticked him.

Porsche? That fucking assistant? What the fuck he is doing in Pete's room at this time? Fucking hell.

Vegas's head started to heating like a volcano.

"Vegas, I'm so sorry. That's my crazy friend. Just don't mind him. What were you saying Vegas?"

His crazy friend? Or his husband?

"Um, nothing nothing Pete. I'll hang out now. Good night" Vegas said and immediately cut the call before giving any time Pete to answer.

"Vegas, hey did you...aw you ended the call. Fine. Good night too" Pete put his phone away with a pout as Porsche smirked at him wiggling his eyebrows.

"Pete you traiter. Why didn't you tell me that asshole get your phone number?"

"Don't even start now Porsche. And why the hell you did that? What would he think about me? Look he didn't even wait until I'm biding him good night" Pete pout again listening to all the teasing of his stupid best friend.

In the other side Vegas was rushing out of his bed to his most expensive whiskey collection. He get a bottle and drank it without a glass. His heart was broken and it was the first time his heart was stopped by someone, like this. Vegas wanted to see that dimple smile for the rest of his life. He wanted to kiss those pink lips for the rest of his life. He wanted to go under that light heated gaze of Pete when he was angry.

But his first and only dream he wanted to fulfill just died in the moment it started to bloom. Shit. So does that mean that fucking assistant is his husband? But Pete said he is just a friend.

Fuck. How am I going to know that, Wait. I could ask that directly from Pete. Shit.

I'm so fucked up. Vegas sighed knowing he is already falling for the cute doctor. But wait, aren't Pete sounds like so excited to talk to Vegas earlier? Yes he was. Then....

Then maybe Vegas should have asked. After all, this is Christmas time and miracles Alway happen in this time. Vegas smiled and took his phone. Without wasting any time he dialed Pete's phone number.

"Heyyy... He is calling again. Porsche I swear to God if you... "

"Alright, alright I'm not going to do anything, go ahead and answer it before your love bird cut it again " Porsche teased more as Pete answered the phone with a shaking mind.

"Hello Vegas? "

"Pete, I'm sorry. But I need to ask you something?"

"Yeah? Please go ahead?" Pete didn't know what he is going to ask but his heart was unnecessarily shaking as he goes.

"Pete, are you married?" Vegas burst out as Pete smiled sweetly. He felt a little happy as he bit his lips.

"Vegas, No. I'm not married. That's my Best friend, my cousin, my neighbor and my assistant Porsche, whose answered the phone earlier. He was messing with you. I'm sorry about that. Please don't mind him" Pete burst out this time getting the chance to clear any misunderstanding between them.

Vegas felt like a heavy something vanished in his heart. He couldn't stop smiling as he wanted to scream in happiness.

Holy shit.

"Oh. Wait Pete. And is he your boyfriend?" Vegas asked as this time Pete chuckled making Vegas's heart missing it's beat.

"Of course not. I told you who he is to me. And that's all, nothing else" Pete answered blushing furiously.

"Well... And... May I ask... Then do you have a boyfriend?" Vegas didn't know what Pete would think about him. But he wanted to know anyways.

Pete closed his eyes tightly as he wanted to control himself.

"No. I don't. And why are you asking Vegas, huh?" Pete wanted to tease him a little.

And Vegas rubbed his neck when he felt a heat rushing into his face.

"Um. That's... good to know. And just wanted to know. And I'm so sorry for disturbing you again. Good night Pete. See you soon "Vegas said in a soft voice with a smile.

"Okay Vegas. See you. Good night" Vegas waited until Pete finished this time and ended the call, falling on the bed with spread hands. His whole face lit with a hugest smile ever.

"Then.. get ready to have a boyfriend and a husband soon little doctor. Because I'm going to be your boyfriend then husband soon" Vegas mumbled with the happiest voice ever.

Chapter Text

"Pete I swear to God if you missed tonight's family union..."

"Alright, alright Porsche I'm done tonight. I already told you. Let's go home" Pete sighed and took his bag to go out.

The whole day Pete was busy but his mind was expecting something. If specifically say, expecting to see "someone" by any chance. But life is not a fairy tale. The things we wish to happen, will never happen like we want. And making it worse, without knowing Pete was staring at the door from time to time and Porsche 's eagle eyes never missed that. Every time Porsche managed to tease Pete as Pete immediately stopped his staring.

And now it's almost their closing time so Porsche finally dragged the doctor out and Porsche drove the doctor's car without wasting any time because he was secretly worrying if any patient showed up now, Pete will miss tonight's dinner too. But fortunately they managed to go home before it started. But Pete didn't feel any relief or happiness as expected instead he felt he should have been in the vet as soon as they sat with their whole family. Because of the drama he had to face.

All of their family members and friends were already there. Sitting around the garden dinner table here and there. As usual Pete sat in a peaceful corner of the long and huge fancy oak table where located in their beautiful garden and Porsche dragged the chair next to him when Pete saw his papa murmured something into his mother's ear glaring at Porsche. Pete knows his parents never liked his cousin brother Porsche because he is a nurse and not a doctor.

"This dirty blooded brat is the one who spoils Pete" he groaned and Pete immediately started to clear his throat loudly, not wanting Porsche to hear those toxic words.
Porsche's mother is Pete's aunt, whose also a doctor like their whole family. But she was a kind hearted one not like her brother, Pete's papa. And she fell in love with a male nurse and married him. Pete's papa always hated his sister's husband and then making it worse, their son, Porsche also became a nurse. Now Pete's parent's hate also goes to poor Porsche too.

Pete wanted to stand up and walk out of this drama table with Porsche but he stopped himself for the sake of their peace of minds. And even before Pete think tonight drama will be only that,

"Ohhhh son, come, come please sit" Doctor Nadan's sudden happy voice made Pete look behind and he wanted to puke as soon as he saw who's coming towards them.

Dr. Tawan..

Dr. Nadan's best friend's and also his co-director's son.

And before even Pete thinks about what to do, Tawan sat the other side of Pete's chair.

"Hello uncle. Hey Pete" Tawan's sluty flirty voice always made Pete wants to puke.

"Hello Dr. Tawan" Pete murmured with a light forced smile knowing his papa very well.

"Son, Tawan. I'm very happy that you can finally get a little break to join with us, I know how busy you are. Of course you will be busy, because You are a big doctor now, huh? Not only a doctor but a director too. I'm so proud of you son" Pete pretty sure that his papa seems to love this asshole more than his own son as Pete secretly rolled his eyes.

Tawan laughed alone with Dr.Nadan.

"Well, that's correct uncle. And by the way, how have you been Pete, I missed you so much. And I couldn't even see you these days, what's going on?" Tawan smoothly leaned into Pete's chair with a cunning smile as he sneaked his hand behind Pete's chair head arm.

Just feeling this dutchbag near him made Pete's stomach twist, threatening with a wave of nausea.

"Um, Dr.Tawan I was in my clinic, just like every normal day. Hah hah" Pete barely made a fake laughing face and a fake gesture towards him not wanting to make everything

"Oh please. Don't embarrass Dr.Thawan by calling your little pet shop as a clinic, Pete" Dr.Nadan's disgusting voice made Pete's last drop of patience destroy as he barely got a long breath trying to hide the embarrassment and anger rising inside him. His cheeks felt hot, his eyes got hurt wanting to tear up but he didn't want to betray himself by crying in front of those cruel people and destroying his last self respect.

"Excuse me Dr.Tawan, I'll check the barbeque" Pete didn't know how that came to his brain at that time.

He stood up not showing his pain and anger and slowly walked towards the pool side barbeque. Porsche was pissed like hell as he tried to follow him. But one look from Pete and Porsche understood his silence beg to not to make his papa do more drama. So Porsche gritted his teeth and sat back in anger not being able to be with his best friend.

But Tawan grind at Dr. Nadan, standing up like a snake aiming an innocent little bird as it's food.

"Don't get angry uncle. You know I'm always here for Pete. I'll try to find a way to take him to a better post" Tawan grind again and he immediately followed Pete's path.

Fucking great. Now Porsche couldn't stand it anymore of this shit as he lost his patience. He quickly stood up to follow Tawan before he do something nasty to his bestie. But,

"Where you think you are going Porsche? Don't you dare to disturb them by dragging your sorry ass there right now" Dr Nadan gritted his teeth like a wild animal making Porsche gasped in shock.

He knew he have no place to fight against his asshole uncle and barely decided to obey him for now for the sake of Pete. But he opened his ears to hear from Pete if he needed any help in any moment.

.....

"Shia... That asshole Kinn, I'm going to kill him anytime soon.. arrrr" Vegas murmured in the backseat holding his bloody hand carelessly.

"Khun, please hold on, we are going to the minor family as soon as possible" Nope announced in a hurry, sighing the driver to speed up more. Vegas immediately glanced at the front seat with a more pissed off way.

"No, just take me to the vet, immediately"

"But, Khun.." Nope barely got guts to start but cut off by Vegas's death glare then bowed at him.

"Okay Khun" then Nope guided the driver giving instructions to change the destination.

Vegas sighed and leaned against the seat tightly, releasing the heavy breath he was holding in anger for so long now.

Vegas wanted to see Pete.

He just wanted to see the doctor's face.

That's the only thing, the one thing this mafia boss needed since the morning, for the whole day. It became an itch when it was afternoon.

But he didn't get any chance because he has to go on a fucking stupid mission with his fucking stupid cousin and then again because of his stupid cousin Kinn, now he is injured badly. He had to defense himself from a sharp dagger and it slit open his hand heartlessly. But you should have seen the other one. Or maybe not. Anyways Vegas was worrying about Mr. Gray too. And even how much he refused to accept, He was so grateful for his crazy cousin, Khun, for volunteered to take care of Mr.Gray at the moment. Because Vegas couldn't trust anyone else to give his first and sick pet to take care while he is on a deadly mission. Vegas was pissed that he has to go there without seeing Pete's face. Any how right now Vegas is very alive, injured and dying to see the little pretty doctor as soon as possible for two reasons.

One, because Vegas need to see that face badly.
Two, Mr.Gray is sick and not eat anything as Khun informed him.

And that's how Vegas is finally standing in front of the Vet clinic door with a red face like a volcano which is about to blast. Because the clinic is already closed.

"Arrrrrrrrrrrrr" all the bodyguards took a step back with the loud angry groan and pissed off screaming from their boss. No one dared to say a word as there was a deep silence after the screaming.

"Find the doctor's home and drive to there" Vegas ordered while getting into the car again.

.....

Pete couldn't stop the aggressive tears run down over his cheeks because of the hurt and anger he was feeling after all.

Why the heck does his papa hate him so much?

Pete wiped his cheeks while flipping the burned chicken legs on the grill when he felt that dirty hand on his waist, like a disgusting snake. Pete jumped back gasping but he already knew who's hand was that.

Pete heard that disgusting chuckle before he even turned around.

"Oh baby, why are you still so shy? C'mon you should get used to my touches now. I'm going to touch your whole body every moment, really soon. You know that right?" Tawan laughed trying to kiss Pete's neck but Pete immediately jumped off of him.

"Dr. Tawan please, behave. That's not gonna happen. I still didn't give my word for the proposal" Pete didn't know how he got that guts to say that at least right now.

"Your word? Ha ah hah hah, you know ,your papa seems right Pete. You have become very funny these days Petey. Your word? Who needs your word Pete? You are already mine and I can't wait to ruin you so badly" Tawan groaned last part into Pete's cheek and unexpectedly he squeezed Pete's ass as Pete tried to push Tawan away from him. But as usual Tawan was stronger than him and it only made the basted looking more wicked.

Tawan laughed and grabbed both Pete's ass cheeks and squeezed making it hurt for Pete as Pete immediately started to struggle and get away from him.

"Remember, you can't get away from me. You belongs to me now and I'll be the one who fuck this virgin tight little ass of yours, every fucking morning and night. Oh maybe I can give you few more rounds between that, so get ready for getting fucked like a bitch, baby girl" Tawan groaned finally letting go of Pete's painful ass as Pete immediately get away from him. Tawan chuckled and winked at Pete whose now obviously crying.

"Come to your seat. I'm waiting for you there" Tawan finally said with a smile and walked back to his seat with the very decent doctor smile on his face which the bastard always wore in front of the people.

Asshole. Pete wanted to yell but he bit his tongue instead, wiping his tears before someone seeing them. Maybe this is his destiny. He has to live under his papa until now even he is doing a great job and became a doctor and then he will have to live under this asshole as his husband for the rest of his life. Pete felt he wanted to run away as soon as possible but he couldn't. He knew it's useless. So Pete tried to wipe his tears instead of yelling at his papa or his to be husband when he heard the noise of some people arguing and yelling over their main gate.

Normally their household is very calm. No one is dare to yell inside their property as Dr.Nadan is popular as a very strict and dangerous person. So even a bird won't dare to fly over their household. Then how come this kind of noise and yelling coming from the gate.

Pete would be so curious what's going on there if it is in another time but as he was in a major shock right now after the threat of Tawan, Pete hadn't any kind of care about what happened around him.

And he just stopped flipping the meat and turn around to go sit back his seat. But then the next second he got shocked of his life because he never ever expected to face what he faced that moment ever in his life.

Pete's head was ducked as he was slowly walking. Then,

"Doctor? Seems like it's really hard to get you right?" A chuckle..

Pete never had a shock like that in his life. Because Pete can recognize that voice even he was in the moon.

Vegas!??

Pete snapped up his head in second, with wide eyes and shocked face.

"Hi?" A friendly and calmed greeting...

"Ve.. Vegas????" Pete barely got out it

A chuckle.. a gorgeous chuckle again.

"Yeah. It's me. Hi"

"I mean.. yeah hi.. what.. what you doing here? And.. how do you even come in ? Oh god. Vegas is that you that I heard yelling back there?" Pete was shaking now.

"Well um.. I'm sorry about that. But unfortunately yes. That was my bodyguard and your security. Seems like all of your men don't like us to meet. Hah hah" Vegas's voice got lower like he felt guilty and then Pete noticed the pet cage Vegas was holding in one hand.

"Oh my god Mr.Gray? Is he okay? Vegas what's wrong?" Pete asked without knowing that Porsche, his parents and all his cousins are now staring at them. And also their security guards and Vegas's bodyguards are still fighting.

Before Vegas answer to Pete,

"What the fuck happening here Pete? Who the hell is this? And how dare he bargain into my house? What kind of drama you doing now?" Dr. Nadan screamed furiously as Pete saw two guards are now approaching behind Vegas.

What the hell? Pete wasn't any Disney princess that stucked in a tower. He is a grown man. He can have friends in his life. Suddenly Pete understood that as without thinking about anything else Pete grabbed Vegas's shoulder. Fuck, what Vegas even doing to maintain his body? they are so strong. Pete needs to concentrate on the current situation right now.

"Papa, I'm not doing any drama. This is my friend, Vegas. And this is Mr. Gray, his Cat, one of my patients. And now please ask your guards to stay away from them and Just excuse us" Pete said in a calm but a Sharp voice before dragged very Delighted looking Vegas with him.

"What? I've never seen this friend of yours. And you know the rules. This is family dinner. We don't do job at this time. Pete... You are making me ashamed.. just come back here right now" Dr.Nadan yelled but Pete didn't even turn his head as he directly rushed to his side house where he used it as his room and his office.

As soon as they came inside Pete closed the door and turned around to face Vegas. Who's now looking at Pete's face with a mischievous smile.

"Woah, that was.. wohh did I just make a bad impression on your whole family? Shia" Vegas chuckled softly as Pete glared at him.

"Vegas. What are you doing here? My god do you understand what would happen if I didn't see you first? But before I ask you about that tell me what's wrong with Mr. Gray? " Pete quickly take the cage from Vegas and carefully took the cat out of it. As soon as the little kitty saw the doctor, it immediately started to purring while head butting Pete, make all of his stress and fear forgot for a second.

Vagas was in a awe looking at them.

"Well, he is not eating anything Doctor"

"Hmm. Let me check him first " Pete started to do his doctor things before signing Vegas to sit the comfortable looking couch.

"But you should have called me, you know" Pete said not bothering to look at Vegas. But hearing that Vegas felt like he got slapped on the face with those words.

"Oh, shit. I'm.. I'm sorry Doctor Pete, I didn't mean to put you in trouble. I'm really sorry. But... "

"But what Vegas..?"

"To be honest... I also needed to see you" Vegas said it without hesitation as Pete felt a shiver running inside his body when his cheeks got hot.

Pete bit his bottom lip to hide his smile and excitement, finishing his check up. Then Pete got a new cat food from a little cupboard.

"Hmm. Here, hold him for me. There is nothing to be worry. Seems like he was kinda still in fear. He will relax now" Vegas hold the kitten as Pete said and watched the way cute doctor fixing the cat food for Mr. Gray.

Then Pete took Gray from Vegas and carefully let it eat his meal.
Making both of them relief, Mr Gray started to eat slowly.

"Here we go. Nothing to worry. Mr. Gray will eat normally since now" Pete said and sat behind Vegas whose face now dark. Like he is in some kind of pain. And obviously he's trying not to look at Pete.

"Okay Doctor. I don't know how to thank you. And I'm sorry again for making you uncomfortable Infront of your family. I didn't know what I was doing when I crashed here. I'm sorry. I'll never do anything like that again. We will be going now. I'll send my men to the vet tomorrow morning and pay the bills" Vegas didn't stopped for breathing as he goes then he stood up like he's going to go.

Pete was looking at him in a shock.

"Wait, wait Vegas? what's the matter? Are you okay?"

"Yeah doctor"

"But wait, why do you... What's wrong? You seems suddenly changed?"

"Hmm. No. I just, um.. I should have known that you don't like to see me. I'm an idiot"

"Wait, wait. Who said like that? That.. I... Don't like to see you?"

"You said"

"Me??? Vegas?? Me? when did I say something like that?"

"You just said that, a few minutes back when you say,

/ you should have called me/,

that means you don't like to see me. It's ok I understand. I just get going "

"Vegas. Oh my god. I didn't mean it like that" Pete sighed in relief after hearing that and chuckled softly as Vegas glanced at him with a pout.

"Vegas, I didn't mean it like that. I meant if you called me I'll have come to you, or maybe I would have save you from the all the troubles you had to going through earlier with my stupid security guards " Pete said like an apologize.

"I'm sorry if it made you upset. My patients are never a trouble for me. Never" Pete said with a cute smile but again Vegas's face darkened.

"Oh, yes I understand. I'm just a patient of you. Of course. Hah hah then I'll leave now. You should go back to your family function doctor " Vegas said and Pete immediately stood up.

"What? Oh god Vegas. You get everything I say in the wrong way. I didn't mean that way. I even introduced you to my papa as a friend. Don't you remember?" Pete asked as finally Vegas's face lit by a tiny smile.

"Besides.... I thought you said you wanted to see me" Pete almost whispered that part as he didn't dare to even look at Vegas.

And Vegas snapped at Pete in shock at that.

"Yeah.. yes... I meant it. I... Was dying to see you" Vegas burst out as Pete bit his lips again couldn't hold back the smile.

Me too. Pete wanted to say that, but he is too shy, so instead,

"Really? Anddd... May I know why?" Pete asked in a teasing manner as Vegas's natural smile came back to his face.

"Well, doctor, are you sure you can handle the answer Doctor?" Vegas asked this time in a mischievous way as Pete looked away smiling shyly.

"Well first of all I already told you to drop the doctor word and secondly yes I can handle it, go on" Pete's boldness something Vegas never expected as he chuckled softly.

"Okay very well, Pete. So then I'll tell you"
Vegas stood up and without even giving time Pete to think what's happening he came near to Pete.

Ane then Vegas got a deep breath.

"Pete, will you..." Vegas started but before he finished his most awaited words that he wanted to say to Pete, he was interrupted by the same person.

"Oh my god Vegas, your hand!!" Pete stood up with a shocked scream.
