Adam & Eva (Oban Star Racers, Eva/Molly x Male OC) [On Hiatus]

Grave like Groor

Adam narrating: "Hello, my name is Adam. You probably know me as an 'engineering prodigy' or something along the lines. I'm the son of two best star racer engineers on Earth. Sadly, when I was five a reactor explosion took them away from this world, leaving me as an orphan. The only family I have left is my mom's sister, aunt Ophelia. She couldn't take care of me alone, so she decided to leave me at Stern Boarding school where I met with Eva Wei, the daughter of my idol, Maya Wei. During the time in school I took part in some science fairs, earning a medal or two... or sixteen... Heh, like parents like son. This also allowed the star racing world to learn about me, one company particularly. On Eva's fifteen birthday I got a letter with a job offer from Wei Racing. I swear, Don had time to scout me out, while not having time to call Eva even once! Later that day, me and Eva escaped the school and went on our way to reunite her with her dad. And things got a lot worse later. Instead of a family reunion, Eva, now known as Molly, and me got a job, and later I also got chosen as a mechanic for team Earth in a Great Race of Oban along with Stan and Koji. Of course, Eva being a stubborn girl decided she won't let her dad leave her again and sneaked her way on the truck. Now, our team is after the first race, in which our star racer exploded, getting Rick Thunderbolt, our pilot, in no condition to pilot. Don said that I was supposed to be his replacement, but I don't think I can do it. This will be a hell of an adventure, won't it?"

*Adam POV*

I'm sitting on my bed, as lighting illuminates the night sky on Alwas. I couldn't sleep, every time I closed my eyes I got a flashback.

*Flashback*

I was sitting in my family's house, playing with my star racer model while aunt Ophelia was cooking us some dinner. Someone ring the doorbell

Ophelia: "Adam, sweetie, can you answer the door?"

Adam: "Yes, auntie!" I eagerly get to my feet and open the door only to see two policeman looking down at me

Policeman #1: "It's their kid? Oh shit, I hate doing this" he whispers to his partner

Policeman #2: "It's a part of our job. Someone has to tell the family" he whispers back before turning to me "Hey, little boy. Is there any adult here" I nod

Adam: "Aunt Ophelia. Mr. Policeman have something for you!" auntie exits the kitchen and looks shocked at the policeman

Ophelia: "Gentleman, something happened?"

Policeman #1: "Madam, we wish to tell you this in private, can you get the boy out?" aunt Ophelia nods

Ophelia: "Adam, go upstairs and see if your engine is working. Wouldn't want it to fail, are we?"

Adam: "Sure, auntie!" I run upstairs, not knowing the news will change my life... forever. After checking the engine, I got downstairs to get my toys, but I heard sobs coming from the couch "Auntie Ophelia...?"

Ophelia: "Adam... I'm sorry..."

Adam: "Auntie, something happened?" she nods, getting tears away

Ophelia: "Your parents... your p-parents died in an accident today..." she hugs me tightly "I'm sorry Adam" I start to cry on her chest and the flashback ends

*Flashback ends*

Two weeks later another tragedy happened.

Adam: "Dammit... Did Rick's crash start some PTSD in my mind?" I look out the window to see the first sunshine getting through. "Guess I got a sleepless night... better get some coffee" I get changed and walk past Eva's room, knocking on her door "Star! You better wake up! Don said he'll have some news today!" I get on my way, grab a cup of coffee and walk towards the common room
