Vegas woke up and smiled at still sleeping Pete before he carefully got out of the bed, making sure to not wake him up. Well... he probably didn't have to be that careful to not to wake Pete up, since Pete was quite the heavy sleeper but still... Vegas had plans so he really didn't want to risk waking up his husband. It was Pete's birthday and Vegas wanted to start the day with making Pete his favorite breakfast but when he walked in the kitchen he saw someone else had the same idea.
"Venice? What are you doing?" Vegas laughed a bit when he saw the flour that was scattered all over the counter where Venice was trying to do something while standing on a stool so he could reach the counter
"Today's Daddy's birthday" Venice reminded him
"I know that" Vegas nodded and stepped in the kitchen and went to his son and kissed his cheek, and smiled when that made Venice giggle a bit
"I am doing him a breakfast in bed" Venice said
"I see... and what are you cooking?" Vegas asked curiously, having no idea what was his son trying to cook
"Pancakes!" Venice said happily.
"Pancakes... that's... you don't need sugar when you're making pancakes, Ven" Vegas said when he Venice picked up a pack of sugar and began to pour the sugar in a bowl, adding it to the flour that was already there
"But I want them to be sweet, daddy... like the one I am having for breakfast" Venice explained
"But those are sweet because of the thighs you put on the pancakes, Venice. Because of the chocolate, fruit and cream" Vegas smiled and took the pack of sugar from Venice "Are we using sugar when you're helping me make the pancakes?" he asked while putting the sugar out of Venice's reach
"No... but I don't know how to make cream so I wanted to make the pancakes sweet" Venice said and Vegas chuckled
"Ok... how about this. You and I had the same idea because I came here to make a surprise breakfast for your dad as well, so how about we work together?" Vegas suggested
"But I wanted to do it myself" Venice frowned and Vegas smiled when he noticed the flour smudge on his face
"But if we do it together it will be done quicker. Daddy might wake up soon so you might not make it in time to surprise him" Vegas noted and gently wiped off the flour of Venice's cheek
"Oh... that's true.... ok daddy, you can help me then" Venice nodded
"So you'll let me be your sous chef?" Vegas smiled
"My what?" Venice tilted his head to a side
"Your... you know who the chef is, right?" Vegas said while putting away the bowl of sugar and flour mixture, to take care of that later
"Yes! It's the one with the big white hat!" Venice nodded immediately
"That's right. He is in charge of the kitchen. And sous chef is someone who is helping him with anything the chef needs" Vegas said while gathering the ingredients for the pancakes. It was not what Vegas wanted to make for Pete but he knew Pete will not be unhappy while having pancakes so he was willing to make this slight alteration in his plans.
"So Kai is your sous chef?" Venice asked
"I wouldn't put it that way but... I guess you can say that" Vegas laughed a bit
"Alright so... do you remember how we made the pancakes last time?" Vegas asked when he placed on the table all they will need
"Ehm... we put sugar..."
