I cannot stress how important it is to me that Pete, despite being held hostage, is the one who makes all the moves in his relationship with Vegas.
Pete is the one who brings up his dad and relates it to Vegas's situation with his own dad, starting the shift in their relationship. He chooses to be open with Vegas.
Pete is the one who chooses to stay with Vegas when his beloved hedgehog dies, and he chooses to return to the dungeon room with Vegas. Pete is then the one who chooses to have sex with Vegas.
When Vegas does try to make a move in the relationship, as he's begging Pete to start over, it doesn't work on Pete.
Later, Pete chooses not to shoot Vegas when Vegas presses the gun to his chest, cementing the fact that he does love Vegas.
During the siege, Pete chooses to save Vegas's life both when he does shoot him, and later by the pool. Pete is the one who tells Vegas not to push him away again. He has every opportunity to leave, Vegas is literally telling him to leave, but Pete won't do it.
Finally Pete chooses to stay with Vegas while he recovers. Vegas makes it clear that, again, whatever happens next is up to Pete. He won't be mad if Pete decides to leave. Everything has always been up to Pete, and tbh that's why they work. Vegas can't manipulate the situation this way.
