Work Text:
Caskey were just waking up on the bed, but Vegas was nowhere on the bed with him. He sit up and look around, searching for hints of Vegas to see if he's around.
"...Vegas?"
He softly calls out Vegas's name to see if there's any respond, but there weren't any.
Vegas were already downstairs in his home office, working with his client for an international business meeting, so it was quite far from the bedroom which is located upstairs, hence that's why he couldn't heard Caskey. He was really focused as he is seated in front of his computer, working with his clients.
"Yes, my team and I can definitely meet the deadline. We believe that our service is one of the best in the industry. So, trust us. We will complete the work on time."
Caskey were really worried due to not seeing any hint of Vegas in the bedroom, so he decided to pull an action due to him being a bit scared.
"...Papa!?"
The six years old shouted from Vegas's bedroom. Even though Vegas isn't Caskey's actual father and having no such blood relation with each other, but the kid were comfortable with him even though Vegas had only met the kid a few days ago, when he found him playing around the abandoned warehouse.
Soon, Vegas finally heard Caskey's loud voice and he was startled for a moment due to Caskey suddenly calling him 'papa'. He slowly steps out of his room and he look around the penthouse, and he got closer to his bedroom. Vegas could see a tiny, worried figure sitting on his bed.
"...Did you just called me 'papa'?" Vegas asks Caskey in an amused tone. He walks towards the kid and kneel in front of him, so that he can look at the kid in the same level.
"Um..." Caskey blinks his eyes at Vegas, feeling slightly embarassed as he look down.
Vegas smiles sweetly at Caskey as he stroke his head. "Caskey, you can just call me Vegas, kiddo. But it's okay if you want to call me 'papa'. It's just that I never have a child before. So, for the first time, I get called 'papa'." Vegas spoke in a loving way towards Caskey as he smiles at him gently. Then, he take Caskey's hands and pick him up, going into the home office.
Inside the home office, Vegas place the kid on his lap. Caskey look at the monitor and saw some people in the screen, figuring that Vegas is working on his stuffs.
"Ah, Caskey, the poeple you see in front of the screen are my clients. This is a video conference meeting with my client."
Vegas explained the situation to Caskey as he look at his clients.
"Maybe you can say hi to them as well?" Vegas asked Caskey and he smiles at him, as he waits for his answer. Caskey just blinks at the monitor in front of them.
"...Hello..." Caskey wave his tiny little hand at Vegas's clients.
"Hello there! You are a sweet boy. Who is this, Mr. Theerapanyakul?" The client started to ask Vegas about Caskey.
"Oh, this is Caskey, my... adopted son. Caskey, this is Mr. Kinn and his assistant, Mr. Porsche." Vegas explained as he smiles at the kid and his clients. Then, he continues to talk with his clients about the matters relating to their business while Caskey just stay still as he look at Vegas's monitor.
After a while, Vegas look at the clock, showing that its already 9AM. "Kiddo, it's time for your breakfast now, okay?" Vegas smiles as he stand up, placing Caskey on his office chair. "I'll go grab your breakfast, you just wait here, alright?" Vegas smiles as he went into the kitchen.
As he waits for Vegas, Caskey just look up to the monitor, still looking at Vegas's clients. Out of a sudden, he wave his little tiny hand at them. The clients just laughed politely at the cute little action.
"You are so cute, Caskey. It is really nice to meet you." Mr. Kinn spoke with a friendly tone towards Caskey.
Vegas walks back into his home office after a few minutes, and he saw Caskey wave his hand at his clients from his camera. Vegas then walks into his home office and he sees the kid in front of the computer. He laughs when he sees that Caskey is waving his hand at his clients. Vegas then smiles at Caskey as he place the cereal bowl in front of the computer, picking him up and place Caskey back on his lap.
"Papa is bringing me cereals and orange juice." Caskey look at the clients, speaking with his natural baby-like voice.
Vegas's clients were surprised that Caskey calls him as 'papa'. They are also surprised by Caskey’s baby-like voice. But they try to keep it cool in front of Caskey and they say that Caskey is so sweet and cute. Vegas laughs at Caskey’s actions.
