Chapter One

Lucifero

Your POV

Ever since my brother, Keiji, moved out of our parents house to move up to Tokyo they have been on my back about moving out once I turn 18 as well, so that's exactly what i'm doing today. Keiji had came over to our parents for the first time in two years to help me pack all of my things up for the big move, using a U-haul he rented instead of his usual Lexus LFA.

It's a pretty flashy car, but that's all we've ever known since we were just little things running around in our dads body shop. We practically lived in that shop, always handing dad tools, helping him upgrade and restore all sorts of cars, including mine and Keiji's favorites, the street racing cars that would roll in that needed tune ups or even just little oil changes.

As we both grew up we got more and more into the cars we would work on in the shop. Keiji's first car being an old orange 1994 Toyota Supra that me and dad had prepped and i painted the details onto the night before his 16th birthday, as my first car on my 16th was an all black 1969 Chevy Camaro, that's when my whole obsession with Camaros first started.

Unfortunately, at mine and Keiji's first street race both of our old sports cars started up for the very last time. His best friend, Bokuto Kotaro, smoked me that night, which also sparked up my very first crush. Not only was i into cars, i was deeply in love with the boy who raced the cars.

another reason i'm nervous to move in with Keiji is because Bokuto is his roommate. They found this beautiful apartment in the middle of Tokyo's first class neighborhood with three bedrooms and two bathrooms and Bokuto and Keiji both agreed for me to stay there since money for me is really tight right now, seeing as i'm paying for college all on my own and putting more upgrades on my newest Camaro i gotten for my 17th birthday. Me and that bad boy have been through so much together, three different paint jobs, four tune ups, and plenty of oil changes along the way.

as we're packing up the last couple boxes into the back of the u-haul and Keiji shoves my mattress into the back along with the other things, his phone goes off in his back pocket while the bed is in his hands. "yo, y/n get that for me." he throws his head in the direction of the phone, motioning for me to grab it and answer it.

i groan, putting a box down and grabbing his phone out of the sweaty ass pocket, cringing as i answer the phone and put it up to my ear. "Hello?" i say as bokuto screams through the phone. "Y/n! are you two almost done?" he says excited as my face goes red and my heart beats through my chest, listening to my crush of like 3 years talk to me through the phone and be all excited to hear from me.

i quickly readjust myself and clear my throat, slicking my ponytail back into my hands. "Um Keiji and i will be on our way in a minute, he just put the last of the stuff in the back." i explain, watching him pull the garage like door down and tie it down to the clasp at the bottom, slapping the truck before motioning us to get going. i hear bokuto audibly pout.

"Damn, i wish he woulda let me go so i could help you." he says and my face turns red again, struggling to find my car keys in my pocket. "w-well we're leaving now bokuto," i say about to give Keiji the phone back so i can drive separate but bokutos next words shock me. "Okay, be safe. i can't wait to see you y/n!" he exclaims as i reply, handing keiji the phone and going to the car, swinging myself in and shutting the door behind me and starting it up.

the roar of the engine startles me, not so used to it being louder just yet since i had just recently upgraded the muffler to make it growl. by the time i'm done with this car there won't be a single stock product on it, not even the paint colors which i mix and paint all on my own. my mom is the artist of the family, so whenever a race car or sports car came in that wanted details on the car, she would be the one to paint that day. obviously me being the curious little kid i was, i would always watch her and eventually she taught me everything i know now about how to do custom paint jobs on cars.
