Okay I feel like I need to say this.VegasPete are my favorite couple and I was rooting for them since the beginning.…
Like @soribee said, a person can not change at a speed light. He can't go from a maniac to a puppy in a matter of 3 episodes ++ vegas is not in love with pete yet and vice versa, its a matter of comfort. They balance each other out but you can't call it love yet, it will later on in season 2 reach that stage but for now their dynamic is still raw and fragile. Read my comment down below, maybe it wil give you a different perspective. ❤
Their story seems to go faster than the speedlight, it's extremely rushed which is why I don't think that what they currently have can be called "love".
I don't think it's anything rational to begin with. To me it seems like they developed an emotional support that they gradually got addicted to. Vegas is layered with so much affection but there is an unabashed violence to this because of his trauma as for Pete, he seems to free himself into chains, he was masked with this fake appearance his entire life and now Vegas undressed him, leaving his dark side exposed and Pete can finally be himself. Vegas is the other way around, he can be evil when he pleases but his sensitivity must be hidden from the world, with Pete he is able to let it out.
They are literally like Yin and Yang. They need each other for balance. Pete needs Vegas to be dark and Vegas needs Pete to be light. It's not love, it's balance.
The scene where Pete was "eating" the ramyeon and breaks down crying reminded me that he is alone, no one really knows him beside Vegas. No one really cares for him either, you can argue that Porsche is one of those people but considering that after he witnessed the damage on Pete's body and still decided to sell his best friend to the man who abused him for some information proves that Porsche is selfish and he never once returned the deep love Pete has for him, in fact to me it's not even mutual.
Vegas and Pete can't kill each other because if one of them dies, the other will crumble. If one of them is hurt the other one will shatter in pain. That's why Pete couldn't pull the trigger.
They honestly broke my heart, together & individually. Vegas is constantly reminded of his lack of worth and when he finally stood up to his father he was pushed right back in the corner. And did you see how joyful he was when preparing that food? It was so detailed and well thought only to be thrown away by his father.
Also can we talk about the tenderness with which vegas treats Pete in the moments where he lets himself be vulnerable? He looks at Pete like he's the most precious thing he's ever laid his eyes on, he touches him as if he was a fragile treasure that was too frail to break. Especially when he comes down from his anger and suddenly turns into a little puppy, you see his eyes change and you realize he is guided by his feelings for Pete.
Honestly, even though their story is going faster than expected it surprises me how three episodes managed to get me this invested, the writers are following through with all the angst and twisted devotion between them and it's truly gratifying to watch.
I think the development was carefully done and rightfully so because it's a very complex story and I'm glad they didn't present vegaspete as " in love " under these 3 episodes because like I said above, to me it's all about balance and addiction, it's something that has the potential of turning into love. I’m so happy both characters have been given adequate time to process their individual trauma and desires.
I think Porche also thought that Pete actually have something for Vegas. What he said after the punch felt like…
Yeah but it wasn't his choice to make, he saw the sights of violence and he chose to endanger pete, we as an audience know vegas won't hurt him but Porsche couldn't know that for sure
Porsche sometimes doesnt think. He probably thought Pete needed closure but yeah he could have thought a little…
I get you, it's definitely disappointing to see his development go down hill, I understand they have to present the negative aspects of rolling with mafia but I really miss the old Porsche 😭
Unpopular opinion : Porsche is pissing me off. He saw the damage on Pete's body caused by vegas yet he still brought him to the bar just for some information after pete risked his life for him. Im sorry but that's such a dick move 🖐
