Long Drive (Victor)

i adore these two

-

"Hey," 

It was approaching hour three of their road trip. They were driving to one of his Father's older plots of lands, a cabin deep in the woods, which was hard to get there as is. The fact that it was five hours away from Loveland didn't make it any better.

Victor as per usual, took his place behind the wheel. Her voice, almost hoarse from not speaking for the last hour or so, gains a slight reaction from him as his eyes glance her way.

"Let me drive for a while."

"You drive?" he asks.

"Of course I know how to drive." she was sitting back in her seat, a blanket draped over most of her body. As she explains, she lifts up her arms —to the best of her ability— and groans softly. "I just don't own a car."

Victor hums, unlike his usual response. Maybe he was tired. In addition to the time spent driving, the night before Victor had to fix some forms at LFG keeping him up later then he would have liked.

"You look tired." like reading his mind, she says aloud. He hadn't told her what happened, but it seems she already knew.

"I'm fine."

"Even so," she says. Her voice is soft. "There's no harm in switching, right?"

"How long do we have left?"

"Two hours." she says. "Pull over."

"Fine." he yields, and in a few minutes he pulls over. The road is empty, the lands surrounding them are nothing but fields.

Victor steps out of the driver's seat and at the same time she follows. They meet halfway at the car's hood, she's smiling as she approaches.

"Hey, hey," she sings. Victor stops before her. She reaches her arms up, taking his face in her careful hands, turning his head left and right.

"What are you doing?"

"Just getting a look at you." she answers simply. "All I'll be seeing is roads for the next two hours, after all."

"Stop messing around," he says. He could feel the heat rise to his ears.

"But you're cute!"

He covers her hands with his own, lowering her arms. In a sudden, bold, movement, she keeps his hands in hers, and places a kiss on the top of his hand.

"Get some sleep, alright?" he can feel her breath on his hand. She stares up at him with glittering eyes.

"I will." he promises, staring back at her with the same adoration.
