It all started over a slice of mango tart.
Rain reached for it. Phayu reached faster.
Vegas reached first.
"I got this, Rain," Vegas said smoothly, placing the dessert on Rain's plate like he was feeding royalty. "You shouldn't have to serve yourself. Not in this house."
Rain blinked. "Uh. Thank you... Uncle Vegas?"
Phayu's smile twitched. "He can get his own food."
Vegas: "He shouldn't have to. You were too busy filming karaoke bloopers to notice he looked hungry."
Rain: chewing nervously
Pete (from the kitchen): "Lord help me, not again."
⚔️ Round One: The Blanket War
After dinner, Rain was curled on the couch with a soft throw blanket. Phayu came over, lifted his arm, and slid under.
Vegas, across the room, narrowed his eyes.
"Oh?" he said. "You're cold, Rain?"
Rain blinked. "A bit-"
Vegas returned 0.5 seconds later with an entire electric blanket, wrapped it around Rain like a burrito, and tucked him in.
Phayu: "He can breathe, you know."
Vegas: "He'll breathe better if he's warm."
Rain: "I am now several degrees from spontaneous combustion."
⚔️ Round Two: The Massage Battle
Rain: "Ugh, my shoulders hurt..."
Phayu: "Come here. I'll massage them."
Rain: "You're the best-"
Vegas appeared like a shadow in human form. "Are you even trained in muscle tension release?"
Phayu: "You watched half a YouTube video once and said you could be a chiropractor."
Vegas (rolling up his sleeves): "It's the effort that counts. Rain, lie down. I'll fix your posture and your soul."
Pete, walking in with popcorn: "Should I call a referee or just let them kill each other?"
Rain (melting from two massages at once): "I think I just ascended."
⚔️ Final Round: The Bedtime Disaster
Rain yawned.
Phayu stood and stretched. "Time for bed."
Vegas stood too. "Rain's staying over tonight. I already set up the guest room. Fresh sheets."
Phayu stared. "He's literally my boyfriend."
Vegas: "And my guest."
Phayu: "You want him to sleep in your mafia estate-surrounded by guards and cameras-instead of with me?"
Vegas: "He'll be safer."
Rain, already halfway into Phayu's hoodie: "I choose... death by cuddles."
Vegas: "Betrayal."
Pete finally snapped. "BOTH OF YOU-ENOUGH."
Everyone froze.
Pete calmly walked over, took Rain's hand, and said sweetly, "You're sleeping in the guest room with me tonight. Since neither of them can act normal."
Rain blinked. "...Do I get mango sticky rice for breakfast?"
Pete smiled. "Of course, sweetheart."
Phayu and Vegas stared in stunned betrayal as Rain walked off arm in arm with Pete.
🐍 Bonus Scene: Midnight Whisper War
Later, outside Pete's guest room door...
Phayu (whispers): "This is your fault."
Vegas (also whispering): "He called me uncle. I should've expected this level of rejection."
Phayu: "He still likes me best."
Vegas: "Prove it."
Pete (from inside): "If either of you says one more word, I'm locking Rain in the vault with a blanket and cocoa and neither of you will see him again."
Silence.
Then footsteps. Quiet retreat. Defeat.
Oh. We're going full drama now.
🧨 Again It started with one word.
"Rain's staying another night," Pete said over breakfast.
Rain, mid-bite: "Huh?"
Phayu: "No, he's not."
Vegas: "He absolutely is."
Pete: "He slept like a baby here. Didn't even roll over once. He's safe and fed. I'm keeping him."
Vegas added smugly, "Besides, I've already set up his toothbrush and cocoa mug. It says 'Baby Storm.'"
Rain: choking noises
Phayu, dangerously calm: "He's not a stray cat. He's a human. My human."
Pete: "He doesn't seem to mind. Do you, Rain?"
Rain, mouth full of toast, made the mistake of shrugging.
Fatal error.
⚔️ Pete vs Vegas: The Soft War of Love and Pettiness
Pete made Rain his favorite lunch: crispy fried chicken with spicy sauce.
Vegas set up an entire movie theater room and let Rain pick any K-drama he wanted, no time limit.
Pete: "You love food."
Vegas: "You love soft blankets and angst."
Pete: "I bought him new socks."
Vegas: "I got him a new helmet. Pink. With sparkles."
Rain (nervous sweating): "I love all of this but... I feel like a kidnapped prize in a parent trap."
Phayu was in the corner. Silent. Watching. Calculating.
💥 Pete's Final Move: The Photo Bomb
Pete dropped an old photo on the table.
Rain picked it up. Baby Phayu in a duck towel, pouting.
Pete: "This is what you're dating. Just a reminder."
Rain: "I'M FRAMING THIS."
Phayu: "I'm framing you in a crime if you don't put that down."
Vegas laughed. "Oh, I have worse. Naked baby photos in the bathtub with bubbles."
Rain: "SEND THEM TO ME-"
Phayu finally stood.
🖤 PHAYU MODE: ACTIVATED
"I've had enough," he said, voice smooth as steel.
Vegas and Pete paused.
Phayu walked to Rain, gently took his hand, and said in a dangerously low tone:
"You two had your fun. But Rain is mine."
Pete opened his mouth-
Phayu turned, tone dropping even lower:
"I've let you embarrass me. Feed him. Bribe him with snacks and sparkly helmets. But this ends now."
He turned back to Rain. "You wanna stay here another night?"
Rain: blinking "I mean... maybe-"
Phayu leaned down, whispered something in his ear-
Rain turned red in 0.5 seconds.
"...Never mind," Rain croaked. "I'll pack."
Vegas: "What did you just say to him?!"
Phayu smirked. "Classified."
Pete: "Don't make me call Tankhun."
Rain: already dragging Phayu toward the door.
🚗 On the Way Home (in the Vespa)
Rain: "Did you really just alpha both your parents?"
Phayu (smirking): "Had to. You were starting to defect."
Rain: "I was not! I was being polite!"
Phayu: "You let my mom call you 'Baby Storm.'"
Rain: quietly "It was cute..."
Phayu stopped at a red light, leaned in, and whispered the exact same thing from earlier.
Rain: "STOP-YOU CAN'T JUST SHORT-CIRCUIT ME LIKE THAT."
Phayu: "I already did."
💬 Back at the Estate...
Pete: "He kidnapped Rain."
Vegas: "He seduced Rain."
Pete: "We created a monster."
Vegas: proudly "...Our monster."
📍Right before Rain changed his mind...
Phayu leaned down, brushed his lips just near Rain's ear and whispered, voice low, husky, and full of threat-laced desire:
"If you stay here tonight, I'm going to remind you who you moaned for last night-twice.
And if you keep letting my dad win, I'll make you do it louder next time.
In their house."
Rain froze. Every logical function in his brain packed its bags and left.
He choked out, "...Never mind. I'll pack."
Vegas: "What did he say?!"
Pete: "Nope. I know that tone. That's the 'you won't be walking straight' tone."
🔥 Back at Phayu's Apartment - "Making Up for Lost Time"
The second Rain stepped in, Phayu was already behind him, locking the door with one hand and gripping Rain's waist with the other.
"Mine," he growled.
Rain barely had time to blink before his back hit the door.
Phayu's lips were on his-rough, possessive, hungry.
"You flirt with my dad again and I'll ruin you."
Rain gasped between kisses. "I wasn't flirting-he called me baby storm!"
Phayu bit his neck lightly. "And you blushed."
His hands slid under Rain's hoodie, trailing fire down his waist. "You forgot whose hoodie you're wearing?"
Rain whimpered. "I didn't forget-"
Phayu whispered darkly, "Good. Because I'm going to leave marks where everyone can see."
🛏️ The Bedroom - Rain, Wrecked and Worshipped
Phayu threw the hoodie to the side. Rain, flushed and panting, was already breathless from the way Phayu looked at him.
Not sweet. Not playful.
But like he was ready to devour him whole.
"Lie down," Phayu ordered.
Rain didn't even argue. He dropped onto the bed.
Phayu crawled over him, his voice lower than a growl. "You teased me in front of my parents. Now you take responsibility."
Rain: "This feels backwards-"
Phayu's lips pressed down his chest, his voice vibrating against Rain's skin.
"You drive me insane. And you love it."
Rain arched when Phayu's hands gripped his hips firmly, pinning him down.
"Say it," Phayu whispered against his collarbone.
"Say you're mine."
Rain: "I'm yours."
Phayu: "Louder."
Rain: "I'm yours, Phayu-"
Phayu silenced him with a kiss that turned into something much, much darker.
🕯️ Afterglow - Soft But Smug
Rain was tangled in sheets, one leg thrown over Phayu, his lips swollen and neck delightfully marked.
"...They're going to notice," Rain mumbled.
Phayu smirked, brushing his fingers over one of the deeper love bites on Rain's shoulder. "Good."
Rain snorted. "You're an alpha with daddy issues."
Phayu: "You're the one who made both my parents fall in love with you. I'm just reclaiming what's mine."
Rain rolled over, burying his face in Phayu's

🌤️ The Morning Day After The Night
Rain walked into the VegasPete estate kitchen wearing a borrowed black T-shirt (Phayu's), faded jeans, and exactly zero shame.
Pete and Vegas were already seated. Pete sipping tea. Vegas scrolling his phone. It should have been a peaceful morning.
It wasn't.
Because Rain turned his head to say good morning-
And a very generous purple mark peeked out from under his collar.
Vegas choked on his espresso. Pete dropped his spoon.
Silence.
Rain froze mid-step.
"Oh no," Rain whispered.

🕵️ Pete: Concerned Mom Mode
Pete stood. Walked up slowly. Tilted his head. And said in the gentlest, deadliest tone:
> "Rain, sweetheart. Is that... a bruise?"
Rain: "I... tripped."
Pete: "Where?"
Rain: "Into Phayu's mouth."
Vegas: "PETE I'M GETTING THE GUN-"
Pete: "No you're not, he's wearing Phayu's shirt, he's marked up like a buffet plate, and honestly, you did worse to me."
Vegas: "That's not the point!!"
---
💀 Vegas: Mafia Dad Meltdown
Vegas stood and paced.
"Do you know what this means?! He didn't just spend the night - he stayed the night. Like, 'biblical sense' stayed."
Rain: "I can leave-"
Pete: "No you can't, you haven't had breakfast."
Vegas: "He doesn't need breakfast, he needs a priest!"
Rain: "Honestly, I need a chiropractor."
Vegas: "PHAYU-GET YOUR DRAGON ASS DOWN HERE!"
---
🐲 Phayu Enters, Shirtless, Smirking
Phayu walked in like he hadn't just wrecked his boyfriend six hours ago.
Towel around his neck. Hair still damp. Not a single ounce of shame on his face.
Vegas: "You have 5 seconds to explain yourself."
Phayu looked at Rain. Rain blushed so hard he looked like a boiled tomato.
Then Phayu turned to his parents and said:
> "He's mine. He wanted it. I gave him everything. You should be proud of me."
Pete: "Proud of what? Giving your boyfriend neck bruises like it's a mafia rite of passage?!"
Phayu (coolly): "He bit me first."
Rain (panicking): "WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!"
---
🍳 Pete Makes Breakfast in Denial
Pete went back to the stove muttering:
> "They're adults... They're adults... I did worse... We used handcuffs..."
Vegas: "I heard that!!"
Pete: "Then stop talking like your son doesn't have functioning hormones."
Rain: trying to crawl into the sink
---
☠️ Vegas: Still Not Over It
Vegas sat back down, narrowed his eyes at Phayu.
"You touch him like that again-"
Phayu: "I will. Repeatedly."
Rain: "WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS-?!"
Pete handed Rain a plate of pancakes. "Eat. You'll need your strength."
Rain: "Strength for what-?"
Pete just smiled. "My son. You'll see."
Rain: "I'M GOING BACK TO SKY'S HOUSE."
Rain was trying to pretend the pancakes were a shield.
Vegas was sharpening a knife without breaking eye contact.
Pete was humming like it was just another sunny morning.
Phayu was sitting behind Rain with one arm around his waist, absolutely thriving in the chaos.
Enter: TANKHUN.
Wearing a silk robe, Gucci shades, pink Crocs, and more attitude than a drag runway.
"Helloooooooo sinful household!" he sang as he twirled into the kitchen.
Everyone paused.
Rain: "Oh no."
Phayu: "Perfect timing."
Vegas: "Why is he here?"
Pete: "Why isn't he here?"
👠 Tankhun Spots the Hickey
Tankhun removed his shades dramatically and gasped so hard you'd think someone died.
"RAIN. IS. NO. LONGER. INNOCENT."
Clutches pearls he's not even wearing.
"WHO DID THIS TO MY BABY CLOUD?!"
Phayu: raises hand with zero guilt
Tankhun: gasps louder
"You?! You?! Mr. Motorcycle? Mr. Growly Voice? Mr. I-Don't-Smile-I-Smolder?!"
Rain: "Please stop talking."
Tankhun: "Don't you dare hush me, you horizontal gymnast! Look at your neck! You look like a snack that's been half-eaten and left in the sun!"
Vegas: "Thank you, I've been saying that!"
💅 Tankhun Turns to Pete and Vegas
Tankhun (to Pete): "Your son is a menace."
Pete (sipping tea): "You should've seen him in high school."
Tankhun: "No, I should've raised him. He would've been glittery, polite, and less... bitey."
Phayu: "You raised Porsche."
Tankhun: "And he's fabulous, terrifying, and gay. I see no problem."
Vegas: "Rain is not joining the family."
Tankhun: "Baby, he already did. That hickey is an initiation mark."
Rain (to the universe): "Take me now."
🎤 Tankhun Starts a Roast Battle
He sits dramatically across from Rain and Phayu.
"So. Phayu. Let's have a little chat."
"My precious cupcake used to be all soft and shy.
Now he's walking funny, blushing every five seconds, and radiating 'I've seen things' energy."
"Care to explain? In small, PG-rated words?"
Phayu: leans forward, smirking
"He likes it when I whisper his name into his stomach."
Rain: "PHAYU-OH MY GOD-"
Pete: spits tea
Vegas: throws a knife (not at anyone, just dramatically)
Tankhun: "Oh.
Oh.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" runs out screaming and laughing like a banshee
🏁 Aftermath
Rain, buried in his hands: "Your whole family is a walking scandal."
Phayu: kisses his cheek "Still want in?"
Rain: "...Make it worse."
Pete: "That's the spirit!"
Vegas: "I'm getting bleach for my eyes."
(They don't know they have done it many times before)
