vegas, seth
It had been a while since Vegas had last seen Seth. He tried to keep in touch with his Murphy's boyfriend after Murphy'd gone missing, but it was hard. Where there was Seth, usually Murphy was at his side. And Vegas imagined that it was just as hard for Seth to even look at him since he was Murphy's twin. They were spot on identical, though their personalities couldn't have been more opposite. Vegas always trusted Seth to look out for Murphy when he wasn't around, though, and there was a small part of him that blamed the other for not being there when Murphy'd gone missing. It was part of Vegas' own guilt, though, too. And he knew it.

So it was a little surprising for him when he came off stage after the little acoustic set that he'd played and saw Seth sitting at the bar. He figured they'd run into one another sooner or later, though, especially since the FBI was now looking into Murphy's dissappearance. Vegas assumed that they'd spoken to Seth, too.

"Hey," he greeted quietly as he approached the bar and ordered a scotch on the rocks. He wet his lips, and it took a moment for him to turn his gaze in Seth's direction. "Are you here because the FBI talked to you?"

"Do they think you're in danger?" He couldn't imagine how upset Murphy would be if he knew that the same person who took him was possibly keeping tabs on his twin too. The very idea that the creep could be close made Seth's stomach turn unpleasantly. All of the alcohol sitting on it didn't help much and he felt like was going to throw up. Putting a hand over his mouth, he squeezed his eyes shut, practiced in holding it back. "I'm not going to be able to tell them anything useful--I wasn't anywhere near him. I hadn't seen him in a few days even." He still blamed himself for getting sick.

"No," Vegas said, "Maybe. I don't know. Mostly they want me to keep an eye out for anyone suspicious." He wet his lips and cleared his throat before he glanced over at Seth. "I know what you're doing. And I'll tell you what Mika tells me. It wasn't your fault, you got sick. It wasn't my fault. I was on tour. I know you still feel like it is, though. So do I. But you should talk to them, please. You never know what might help, Seth. Anything small, just - you never know. Wouldn't you rather try than not?"

He knew that Murphy would have told him the same thing, but that didn't change the fact that he was gone. Plus, Murphy would tell him anything just to make him feel better--that's how sweet the boy was. Thinking about things like that always made his heart stick in his chest. "I don't want to get my hopes up," he said and knew that it was one of the most selfish things he'd ever expressed, which was saying a lot.

Leaning his head against the cool glass of the window, he sighed. "I'll talk to them if they come."

"I don't either," Vegas replied, but the truth was that he got his hopes up every single time he felt Murphy. Which was practically all of the time. It was frustrating, knowing for certain that his twin was out there somewhere - with someone who was keeping him captive - and that Vegas couldn't do a damn thing about it. Vegas let out a sigh and swallowed hard. "Thank you."

He nodded and fell silent for the rest of the way back to his apartment. He'd resisted moving just in case Murphy ever needed to find him again, and he couldn't bring himself to leave the place that held so many memories of him.

When they arrived, he couldn't wait to get out of the car. The information that Vegas had told him was almost too much to process and he needed to pass out somewhere safe. "Thanks for the ride," he said with a wave and stumbled toward his building.

"You're welcome," Vegas replied, and though he wanted to get out of the car to help Seth inside he had a feeling that was the very last thing the other boy wanted, so he just stayed put. He watched Seth until he got up to his door, and once he was safely inside, Vegas finally drove home. He doubted either of them would get much sleep tonight.
