"punch buggy!"

"ow!"

you huffed out in annoyance as you drove.

"that hurt," you said to dino, who was chuckling.

"sorry, y/n," he apologized. "oh, take this exit," he instructed. you looked at the signs and moved into the next lane.

you took the exit and continued driving back home after attending an old high school classmate's wedding for the weekend. however, you had been driving since the early morning and had already stopped twice to grab food and to take a break. you yawned as you kept driving, entering a town that was full of motels and fast food joints, clearly for traveling tourists.

"you okay?" dino asked you, noticing your tiredness.

"mhm," you replied, "oh, i'm gonna fill up the car," you mentioned, noticing a gas station and pulling into it once you were close enough. you parked at a gas pump and unbuckled your seat belt. you turned the car off and almost opened the door when dino held you back.

"hey, i'll drive the rest of the way home," he said and smiled at you.

"are you sure?" you asked him.

he nodded, "mhm. i don't want you to get too sleepy, and you didn't sleep too much either. you should take a nap, the coffee definitely wore off," he suggested with a laugh.

you nodded at him and reached in to kiss his cheek. "thank you," you said and he kissed you back.

"of course." he unbuckled his seat belt and both of you got of his car. you went to the gas pump and starting pumping more gas into the car. "go sit in the car," dino instructed while standing next to you. "oh, do you want any snacks? i'm gonna buy a drink," he mentioned.

you shook your head as you opened the front passenger seat door. your boyfriend nodded and walked to the store. you got into the car and pulled the door closed. then, you immediately reclined the seat back a bit, finally a bit more comfortable.

dino came back out a few minutes later and took the gas pump out of the car and back onto the machine. then, he got into the car, putting his drink into one of the cup holders.

however, he noticed that you had fallen fast asleep in your new seat. he smiled and reached over to buckle your seatbelt. he grabbed his coat from the backseat and draped it over you before turning the car back on.

you opened your eyes and sat up a tiny bit, waking up from the feeling of the jacket over you. dino noticed and put his hand on your thigh, patting it, "sleep, baby," he said to you.

"do you want me to navigate?" you asked and he shook his head.

"no, it's okay. just sleep," he smiled and leaned over to kiss your forehead.

you immediately laid back down and fell right back asleep. dino used your phone to navigate since it still had the gps pulled up and started driving away from the gas station.
