KINNPORSCHE TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY EVENT
— prompt: favourite family
Pete slides into the driver's seat with a sigh. "So, you punched him because...?"
"He was being homophobic", Macau grumbles. "And he insulted you and hia."
Pete nods. He understands, but Vegas isn't here, so he has to be the serious one.
"Don't get yourself suspended just because of some asshole."
Macau hums in acknowledgement.
A moment passes.
Pete chuckles. "Did you get him good?"
"I think I broke his nose."
"Nice. Good job."
He offers Macau his fist and Macau beams as he bumps his own against it.
"Don't tell hia?"
Pete snorts and starts the car. "You wish."

One of my favorite quotes is “everything in life is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power.” Misattributed to Oscar Wilde.
Vegas absolutely understands this idea. When he tells Pete, “A guy like you, it’s no  fun if you don’t give in” It’s not about consent at all, it’s about power and manipulation. We already know that Vegas is willing to engage in some level of SA because we saw it on-screen, with Porsche, so it’s a bullshit idea that consent is that important to him. 
In Pete’s case, though, there’s no power in him raping Pete. He already has him held hostage, under his control. There’s a chance Pete wouldn’t even fight back, just considering it another form of torture. 
No, Vegas feels vulnerable and angry and that won’t do. He tries to get Pete to back off, with aggression — “You think it serves me right, huh?” and instead, Pete offers him sympathy and understanding. So Vegas defaults to what he does best  — manipulation  — to regain a feeling of power. You can see the change here, from the “real Vegas” he’s been showing Pete, to the fake one.
He manipulates Pete, first by saying that Pete likes him moody and angry. By implying his behavior turns Pete on, it takes the weakness out of his actions. Then he manipulates him by giving him a choice. If he can get Pete aroused and thinking about sex with Vegas of his own free will, he gets the ultimate power rush. Lusting after Vegas is a betrayal of Pete’s commitment to the major family in a way that Pete eating and even Pete staying by his side when Khun Spikes dies is not. Eating is for survival and compassion is for the other person.
I think he was genuinely surprised when Pete kissed him though. He’s gotten what he wanted. He feels like he has the upper hand back and he can leave cock of the walk once more. He underestimates and misunderstands Pete every step of the way — because he’s not used to dealing with people who aren’t playing a game at all times — and this is a perfect example. He tells Pete not to hold it in, and he doesn’t. 
There’s no advantage to Pete choosing Vegas in this, unlike Tawan, or Ken, who are at least partially looking out for themselves when they betray Kinn. Choosing to have sex with Vegas was solely for Pete. That was Vegas, owning Pete’s desire. That was Pete’s desire for Vegas being more important than anything else.
By making Pete choose him though, Vegas gets caught up in his own snare. For maybe the first time in his entire life, Vegas isn’t second, isn’t also a means to an end. And when Pete gives in, it’s not tentative, not hesitant, not holding back something to have an ace in the hole. Pete offers him everything, and that feeling consumes him as well as Pete. And that’s how Vegas, despite his manipulations, gets captured by the game.

prompt: manipulate
Tawan paces his room. He isn’t bored exactly, the thrill of being back in the main family house is as heady as it’s ever been, but he is eager. It was always going to be a risk, worming his way back into Kinn’s life, but he’s succeeded in not being killed so now all that’s left to do is wait for his opportunity.
The room is bugged within an inch of its life, he knows, and he’s making sure the give whoever is monitoring him a show. He hopes it’s Kinn. The idea of him looking, pretending to no longer be interested, sends a thrill up Tawan’s spine. He’s confident it will only be a matter of time before Kinn gives in. After all, Tawan has had a good teacher.
It’s all he thinks about while he does his unnecessarily provocative stretches and cuts more and more material away from the shirts he’s been generously gifted. He thinks of Vegas watching him over the hidden cameras, Vegas’s voice in his ear telling him Kinn will be unable to resist, Vegas’s hands on his body, every touch a promise to the future they’re making together. Partners.
He touches reverently where the ring Vegas gave him should be sitting on his finger. He can still feel it— cool metal and Vegas’s warm lips both— lingering over his skin like the most delicious bruise.
Soon. Soon he can wear his ring freely, no longer held back by the main family’s prejudices. He could stop being a secret, and love Vegas as openly as he had loved Kinn, back when he had been young and naive and hadn’t known what was good for him. Vegas deserves that much. To be adored.
He certainly deserves it more than Kinn. Tawan had been reluctant and— though he never admitted it aloud he thinks Vegas knew— nervous to put himself in Kinn’s path again. It had been Vegas who convinced him that not only could he do this, but also had given him the drive to succeed. Now it was like a secret game shared between the two of them, and Vegas’s confidence at Tawan’s capability was a persistent glow that lights him from within. There’s no room for fear when he keeps Vegas’s words close to his heart: It will all be worth it, because it means they can be together.

Ep7 Vegas is something that cannot exist post-canon: he won't have the strength or stamina to torture anyone or participate in any missions, won't have that menacing presence he was carrying before the coup.
Vegas hates it. Pete, on the other hand, having the memory of Vegas performing in front of him inside that cell, is fine with it. A part of him is grateful even.
Korn doesn't really care, though. If he needs to instill fear on his enemies and make them know their place, he'll ask for Vegas' help, whether he can achieve results or not. It works out for him either way.
The irony of how that reflects on him, especially in comparison to Gun, escapes him. It escapes Vegas too, but not Pete, and not Kinn, either.

Vegas stands just out of sight of the dock, taser in hand, irritation crawling all along his skin.
In these past few days, he’s managed to draw out all sorts of reactions from his new pet. Defiance. Disdain. Generous helpings of despair — morphing swiftly into rage. Vegas cherishes them all, for a plaything that snarls back is a true novelty.
And then Pete had the fucking audacity to flinch. He had the nerve to look at Vegas with fear, as if something as banal as Vegas’s belt had been enough to break him.
The acid burning in his throat tastes like bitter failure.
The belting was a stupid idea anyway. Vegas is no two-bit villain. He shouldn’t have reduced himself to petty, blunt trauma. If only he had crafted the moment better — if he had looped the belt around Pete’s neck, perhaps, pulling it taut, thick leather biting into the tendons of Pete’s throat — yes, that would have been beautiful.
A clattering sound emerges from inside the safehouse, and Vegas’s head jerks up.
Looks like his idiot pet still has some fight left in him.
His mouth stretches into a cruel grin as he runs his thumb along the side of his taser. If Pete prefers his more unusual methods, Vegas is happy to keep things interesting.

Vegas and the Illusion of Choice
At this point in the show we've seen Vegas show a keen ability to manipulate people, and this right here is my favourite example of that:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He gives a big, genial speech to Don* and then holds his hand out to solidify their deal. When Don hesitates to shake, Vegas takes that final choice away from him by grabbing his hand.
It's scummy and perfect.
*Quick aside: did anyone else get the impression that Don doesn't know who Vegas is? Like, he could have just been surprised to see him instead of Big Wang, but he doesn't act like Vegas is anyone important, much less a mafia son... In comparison, we saw in episode 1 that Don knew Kinn before he was acting head, and even talked about seeing him grow up. Does Gun not bring his sons to business events? Or does the minor family just not normally deal with the Italians? (wait, no - Vegas says in ep 10 that he’s been exchanging info with them… which makes the lack of recognition even weirder!)
Anyways - later on, in episode 10, we're going to see Vegas pull a similar move with Porsche - offering him the choice to leave instead of waiting in his cell for Kinn, then pulling him away before he's really had a chance to make up his mind:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And I'd argue this has been Vegas's M.O. this whole time. He's set himself up as the opposite of Kinn - someone who's laid back where Kinn is stuck up, who treats his bodyguards well instead of yelling at them, who will tell Porsche the truth instead of keeping everything close to his chest - but it's all a carefully sculpted act.
Because he knows that the best way to get someone to do what you want, is to make them think it was their idea in the first place.
