Pete's fever wasn't going down.
It wasn't really Pete's fault. He had started eating more regularly, even if slowly to not upset his stomach.
(He didn't want to vomit his insides all over the duvet again. It hadn't been a pleasant experience.)
He had started sleeping more, too, and even though it had mostly been accompanied by disturbing dreams and could be described as anything but nourishing, at least it was something.
This wasn't really Vegas' fault, either.
Well. It was. It was difficult to explain, and Pete didn't quite have the mental capacity or the patience to make Vegas understand why he hadn't magically healed in a day thanks to a bowl of noodles, a couple of pills and some bandages wrapped around his torso.
In all honesty, that was a lie. Despite Pete's reluctance to admit it, he had been way more patient that he should have. More than he could sustain.
Today, his patience seemed to be at its limit. Pete didn't let it show - he never did, he couldn't afford to, not even now - but he could feel it brewing under his skin. The urge to snap at an anxious Vegas hovering above him with blood-shot eyes and trembling limbs was big and tempting, but Pete knew better than to succumb to it. He simply closed his eyes and breathed in through his nose, trying to forget about it.
Vegas, of course, wouldn't allow that.
"Pete," he heard Vegas whisper. When he didn't respond, Vegas said it again, louder.
"Pete. Hey, look at me."
Pete did.
"Do you not hate me?"
Pete didn't answer.
"Don't you want to kill me?"
Pete sighed. He refused. H wouldn't give Vegas the satisfaction.
"How would you do it?"
This was starting to get irritating. "Vegas-"
"Tell me, Pete. What would you do? Would you use your hands or a weapon?"
Pete couldn't escape this. He realized when he looked at the pure desperation in Vegas' eyes.
"I'm a bodyguard, aren't I?" he foolishly said, his voice breaking slightly. He lifted his head and stared at the ceiling. He could picture it; him wearing his uniform, blowing Vegas' brains out with his gun.
The image brought him no satisfaction. Only a faint sense of dread he couldn't rationalize.
Vegas' humming snapped him out of it. "Yes, I can see that. I can't imagine you using a knife, though."
Pete felt slightly offended by that comment for some reason.
"Why? Don't you think I have the guts?"
"It's too... emotional a choice for you. You wouldn't use it to kill me."
Right. Pete huffed in amusement.
"I guess you're right. I'm not like you."
This did the trick. Pete could feel the effect of his words, the hostility Vegas was emitting. It gave him goosebumps, despite the temperature of the room.
The sound of the door closing harshly made him flinch, a racing heartbeat remaining for a while afterwards.
It didn't bother him. He was finally left alone.
It didn't matter if he'd manage to get better or not. If only Vegas could see that.

Addicted Heroin (Th) Cut Scenes and Colors - Episode 5
I'm reporting on the missing scenes from YouTube's version of Addicted Heroin [episode: one, two, three, four], so here I am with episode five!
First cut scene:
After Blue Boy Hero realizes that he tied Green Guy Pop up with color-coded green rope for nothing because Pop was planning to apologize to him before he kidnapped him and forced a kiss on him, Hero goes to Pop's house to eat dinner and stay the night; however, as usual, they argue.
Pop divides the food up but gives his father more and Hero the least. Hero gets upsets and says Pop can't divide properly, and Pop tells him he divided right (implying Hero was meant to get less). Hero tells PopPY he is being childish. Pop is upset that Hero is calling him Poppy, so Hero responds that since they are brothers now and Hero is the oldest brother, it's fine.
But that's lies! They bring out their IDs and learn Pop is older by two days, so even though Hero is taller (which is something he points out), Pop is the Phi in this house! So as the older brother, he kicks Hero out of the room, and sleeps on Hero's side of their color-coded beds.
Second cut scene:
I'm going off vibes here, but the next day after kicking Hero out of the room, Pop seems to be thinking about the kidnap kiss at school when Hero walks up. Hero notices and asks Pop to look at his face for . . . something on it(?), but it really is just to get Pop to look at his lips.
Pop gets upsets and leaves.
Third cut scene:
Hero doesn't just buy Pop a make-up New Year's gift; he buys the entire family gifts. Grandma gets a neck massager, the dad gets Nike shoes, auntie gets a gift, and the future little brother gets a painting/drawing set. Everyone resists, but eventually gives in, yet Poppy is still displeased, so the green color-coded ruler comes in handy.
Fourth cut scene:
After the teacher announces the students have to work as pairs for the next assignment, Pink Person Only immediately approaches Pop stating they will be partners, which upsets Hero, and Hero and Pop start to argue. Both keep suggesting Yellow Yal Tiger as the other's partner and both keep rejecting him WHILE HE SITS RIGHT THERE! Finally, Pop says HE will be Tiger's partner, and Hero and Only can be partners.
The two girls who like Hero and Only immediately step up to offer themselves as volunteers for a partnership, but the boys quickly reject them because this is a BL and they understand the queer agenda.
Pop is worried they might not have a good idea but learns that Tiger is more than prepared for their assignment as Tiger shows him all the research he has already done on his product for nose strips that ~help people with runny noses~
Hero and Only lurk from a small distance trying to figure out how to remedy this unsatisfactory situation. Hero discloses that he is designing a robot, to which Only questions why he needs Pop then when he already has a plan in mind. Hero does what he does best and threatens Only to go partner up with Tiger or he will squash him like a disposable cup.
So my color-coded OTP sails the shipping seas another day.
Because it's clear that Tiger designed the product with needs-eighty-million-tisssues-to-get-through-the-day Only.
Fifth cut scene:
After the incident in the classroom between Only and Tiger when Only became super defensive out of nowhere then invited Tiger over to his house all in one breath (even though we know Only was actually trying to hide a picture he drew of Tiger), he threatens to haunt his "kitty cat" until he accepts the invite like the girl in Shudder who sits on people's shoulders.
Tiger leaves, but while washing his hands, Tiger's color-coded phones alerts him that Only is sending a text to hound him some more about coming over. Tiger ignores it, and BAM!
He sees Only sitting on his shoulders in the mirror being super creepy. Then, BAM!
He sees Only everywhere stalking him and haunting him around campus.
However, it's clear from Only's reaction after being questioned by Hero and Pop while getting his PINK MILK that not all of this is in Tiger's mind.
Sixth cut scene:
These scenes were in the edited version, but the colors were coloring, and I love that Pop was really going to be a BL boy who lets his love interest soak in the rain without any effs to give.
But the next day, while they are talking about the auntie and the dad flirting, the scene is longer and explains the auntie's situation. Her ex cheated on her and picked the other woman over her. She wanted their kid, so she kept him, yet the ex continues to come around asking for money and others things but never helps out.
Pop mentions how kind and motherly she has been to him, so Hero asks if she was married to someone else, would the ex finally get the hint that she has moved on and quit brothering her.
Hence why our Green Guy tells his dad to step up and be the guy the auntie needs in her life after the ex tries to rob his own son!
So it does make sense that Pop is still sad his dad is married even though it was his idea only because he just wanted to help out the auntie.
The boys end the episode in red, so I'm unsure if we are entering into the danger zone, the passion era, or both.
But either way, MY SHIP IS SAILING!
