Forever my ride and die

Chapter 1: Meet the Familia

A blonde man, wearing a plain black T-shirt blue jeans and converses exits his red pick truck and walks towards the Toretto market and cafe. When he reaches the counter, he sits down on one of the stools that has become his home for the last week, opens up the car magazine he had brought with him, and waits for the young women who was studying on the bench opposite him to notice him.

The young women pretends to study the book she has in front of her but can't help to be distracted by the blonde man who had suddenly been showing up at the market for the last week. As the man sits down, she is fighting the smirk on her face as she begin their usual banter.

"Let me guess, tuna on white with no crust?" asked the young women, Mia Toretto, still looking down at her book. The blonde man slightly laughed, "How is it?" still pretending to be reading the magazine that was in front of him.

Mia loudly signed and stood up from the bench she was leaning on to face the blonde man, crossing her arms over her chest, "As you may have noticed, since it has been what you have ordered for the last week, the tuna is horrible and will continue to be horrible no matter how many times you come here and order it." The blonde man, finally looked up, giving her his signature smile, "I will have the tuna."

"No crust?" Mia confirmed.

"No crust." Mia nodded and turned around to start making the sandwich.

Now that Mia's focus was on the sandwich, the blonde man turned his attention towards the office located at the back, where he notices a bald man get up from his chair and walk towards the fridge. The bald man, who was Mia's older brother, Dominic Toretto, felt eyes on him, causing him to look towards the front of the market, and connected with piercing, familiar blue eyes, making the man smirk. Dom continues to stare back, with a slight sparkle in his own brown eyes, towards the blonde man, whom he had only known for a short period but could feel himself falling hard for.

He winked at the blonde man and walked back to his chair, breaking the connection. The blonde man smirked back but quickly diverted his eyes, not wanting to draw any attention to what had just happened, towards the young women as she placed the sandwich in front of him. As Mia placed the sandwich in front of the man, she noticed that he was looking through a car magazine. Smirking, she asked the man if he was into cars, which plunged them into a conversation about a cars.

Their conversation was interrupted when they heard the loud noises of cars approaching the front of the market. Mia stepped back from the blonde man as the team walked in, greeting each of them with a smile. The blonde man realising who they were, only had eyes for one particular member, who he knew as Letty, walking directly to the back where the office was.

He couldn't help but feel slightly jealous; this was the first time he was seeing her, and she was undeniably attractive. The blonde was concerned that for Dom this was not serious but just a phase, and the potential of getting back with his ex, despite what happened, was a real possibility.

As Letty approached the office, the blonde had to physically stop himself from sneering and staking his claim. He couldn't hear what was said, but whatever Dom replied Letty was not happy. The blonde man's thoughts were interrupted when he felt the salt shaker hit his elbow. Unimpressed, he looked up and found a member of Dom's crew, Vince, Dom's childhood best friend staring coldly at him. The man was not intimidated in the slightest and gave the man his own cold stare.

Mia, who noticed that Vince was trying to intimidate the blonde decided to intervene, yelling the man's name until the man diverted his eyes towards her instead. Once he was looking at her, she sarcastically said, "Can I get you anything?"

"You look good," Vince said as he flirtatiously looked Mia up and down, causing both Mia and the blonde to roll their eyes.

The blonde man rose from his stool, deciding that he better leave before things got complicated. Taking out his wallet he dropped some cash on the counter to cover the sandwich, "Thanks, Mia. See you tomorrow." Mia smiled at the blonde man, who she had been getting a little crush on since he started showing up, "Sure, see you then."

Vince slapped his fist on the counter, not appreciating that the man would be showing up again to flirt with Mia, followed the man out of the market. He aggressively walked towards the blonde man, "Try Fatburger from now on. Get yourself a double cheese with fries for $2.95, faggot."

Brian looked back at Vince over his shoulder, "I like the tuna here" he quickly stated while still walking towards his truck. The man scoffed, not believing those words for a second, "Bullshit! No one likes the tuna here." Vince having enough of the man, push's the blonde causing him to face plant onto his car window. The blonde man, surprised by the aggression but was not going to let the man get away with it, whispers, "sorry baby" before he turns around to punch Vince.

Mia, who is still at the counter, notices the commotion between the two and runs towards Dom's office, concerned that Vince may hurt the man. "Jesus Christ, Dom! Would you get out there? I'm sick of this sh*t."

Dom ignores Mia.

Frustrated that Dom was not doing anything or even concerned for his friend, "I am not kidding, Dom, get out there!" Mia screams. Dom finally gets up from his chair and looks outside to see the two men fighting. Dom couldn't say it out loud, but he is slightly impressed and aroused by his man taking Vince down. He turns towards Mia and says, "What did you put in that sandwich?" Mia scoffs, "Really funny, Dom."

Looking up again towards the two men who were fighting, Dom notices that Vince now has the upper hand and is on top of the blonde punching him. Without even realising it, Dom springs into action, running out of his office towards the men, with the rest of the team following except for Mia.

Once he is close enough, he grabs Vince, throwing him towards the team, and goes straight to the blonde to make sure he is okay. He bends down and whispers, "Are you okay, B?"

Slightly out of breath, the blonde whispers back, "Yeah, I'm fine, baby." Dom helps the blonde off the ground and ensures he is stable before letting him go again. Both men miss each other's touch instantly.

Vince, still angry and agitated, tries to get away from the team that is holding him back from the blonde. Vince manages to get away from the team however, doesn't make it further than Dom, who pushes him back towards Leon. Once Vince is back with Leon, he yells across the market where Brian and Dom are standing, "Why the fuck are you helping him, Dom? This faggot deserved it." Dom's anger flares again, and he turns around and points towards his childhood best friend, saying, "Relax, don't push it! You embarrass me!" Leon pushes Vince further away from where the blonde and Dom are standing, pushing Vince further inside the market. Dom turns towards Jesse, noticing that he had picked up the wallet that fell out of the blonde's jeans during the fight. "Jesse, give me the wallet." Jesse, doing what he is told, hands the wallet to Dom to look at the blonde's photo ID and walks back to where the team is all standing outside the cafe.

Dom, already knowing his name, pretends that it is the first time he is hearing it read, "Brian Earl Spilner." Slightly snorting at the ridiculousness of the name, he teasingly says to the blonde, "Sounds like a serial killer name. Is that what you are?" Brian rolls his eyes, saying, "No, man."

Both unknowingly stared at each other for longer than they should have. Especially if they are trying to keep their relationship a secret. The moment is interrupted again by Vince yelling, "Don't come back here again!" Both turn towards Vince, with Brian the first to react by yelling back, "I didn't do anything, man; shut your fuckin mouth!" Dom pushes Brian back from approaching Vince again and whispers to Brian, "Baby, just go. I will deal with him. I will see you tomorrow." Brian shoots one last cold look at Vince before he walks back to his red pick up truck. Dom watches him go before he angrily storms back to the cafe, where his family is waiting for him.

Vince is the first to approach Dom once he is close to the entrance of the cafe. "Dom, you need to call Harry and tell him to fire him for what he did?" Dom, exhausted by his best friend, responds, "And what exactly did he do? Besides, coming into the cafe and ordering a sandwich." Vince, about to angrily respond back, stopped when he saw the deadly look that Dom was giving him. "Enough. Let's pack it up; we have a race to get ready for."
