Caspian
The smell of hot tires in the air and the familiar ring of adrenaline in his ears, Caspian or better know as The Lost One, comes to the sudden stop as always. Taking a few deep breaths to slow his heart and stepping out of his crimson red car to look at who was first cause it wasn't him.
The cheers basically gave it way even before he landed on the deep purple car, The Midnight Racer, of course it was him. Caspian didn't dislike The Midnight Racer, it was just every time they raced together Midnight always won, and he always only ever got second. But his nice person instincts kicked in, so against his better judgement he walk up the his fellow racer.
"Well done", speaking quit loudly as he came up from behind the man in front of him. He always had this odd feeling around him but he just brushed it off as jealousy.
"Thanks, you where pretty close most of it"He spoke softly ok, what is this feeling. It's a bit annoying
"Well, who knows, maybe I'll win one day," a sly smirk spread across his face.
"You can sure try Lost One," Midnight laughed. "You know in all of our time racing together, I still don't know your name." Caspian felt his cheeks heat up as he flushed red with embarrassment.
What is it about standing in front of him that makes me feel like I want to crawl inside myself and disappear?
"Well that's all for tonight's race folks, now let get out of here before the cops come!" someone said of the speakers before Caspian could answer.
"Well looks like you'll have to wait" Caspian grind as turned back to his own car. He could practically feel the other stare in the back of his head, which just made his smirk grow.

Walking into his apartment, he was greeted by a very excited dog and the sight of someone asleep on his couch.
"Hi Atlas, did Momboo fall asleep waiting for me again" he asked as she went back to lay down next to the woman in the living room.
Momboo is Caspian's best friend and house mate. He met her through her younger sister Oceana or Ocie whom runs the races. Actually he met her when practicing racing at the very beginning with Ocie and he made a wrong turn in which led him to crash. They where both very thankful Ocie brought Momboo because at the time she was in med school, almost a graduate and was able to help. She was very dedicated in making sure he was ok, so much she would just stop at his apartment to check up on him even after he was better. She eventually graduated and needed a place to stay as she was living the dorms and Caspian offered and they've been living together since then. That was three years ago. In between then and now she has adopted two kids, Easton and Jamie. Jamie is in high school and Easton is talking mechanics in college. Got a medical degree and is now working as a part time nurse at a kids hospital. She doesn't attend the races but she dose the practices for two reasons, one; practices is when the riders just goof off and do dumb shit that can get them self's hurt and two; practices is usually when they all just hangout so she joins when she can.
Momboo often waits for Caspian to return home from racing but has made much more of an effort in staying awake after Cas came home bloodied up from a fight with a par of racers that don't race with them anymore. The par had always bin pretty rude to any of the other racers but after an attempt to hurt one of the new racers and a kid no less, Caspian had his last straw with the racer, not wanting things to go horribly he just was going to tell them that purposefully trying to hurt a kid wasn't aloud, he ended up getting tag teamed. If it wasn't for the said kid finding and getting Ocie, he has no idea what would have happened.
For the kid, they ended up being close friends with Jamie so the two of them have kept in close contact. They name's Athena and they'er, what they keep calling them self's, Caspian's nephew. If you ask Caspian he would say that its adorable but he would like to meet this other uncle Athena talks so much about.
Sighing, Caspian walks off knowing if he doesn't go sleep now, he would sleep and hes got work in the morning.
