"You need to turn your indicator on before you make the turn." he reminds her for the hundredth time, unable to hide his annoyance in his voice.
YN bites her lip to hold back a smile. She is starting to understand why Gojo always found it entertaining to annoy her. Now it's payback.
Again, she forgets to put the indicator on.
"Oops." she says and notices him turn to look out the passenger window, as if to hide his face away from her.
"YN-chan, you can't actually be this bad. You're pulling my leg now." he says once he turns his head back.
"I'm not, and this is no joking matter. Car safety is nothing to make light of." she deadpans, though there is a smile threatening to break through. "I'm just terrible–"
"You really are,"
She shakes her head. She may be a terrible driver, but he is a terrible teacher. As soon as they had sat in the car he expected her to know what she was doing. She didn't even know how to start the car, especially one as modern as his. He sucked at explaining that her foot had to be on the break at the same time as when she presses the start button. She had been repeatedly tapping against the breaks, wondering why nothing was happening. She argued that he hadn't said to hold it down. It was all downhill from there.
"Alright, now drive to the bakery down the road. I could really go for an almond croissant."
Her eyes widen in disbelief. "You're kidding, right?"
"You're never going to learn if you don't get out there and do it."
"I could kill someone!"
"You'll be fine. I'll intervene if I feel like you're about to, uh, endanger someone."
She can't help but start to feel anxious. Her knuckles whiten as she grips the steering wheel. "I don't know about this, Gojo-kun."
"Just follow my instructions and you'll be fine." he says, and she turns the car around and heads for the parking lot exit. She breaks hard once she reaches it, making both their bodies jolt forward. Gojo decides to ignore that.
Cars pass by quickly, barely making any space for them to go. YN can already feel the beads of sweat trickle down her back. "You should've gone," he mumbles under his breath. She can't help but mentally disagree. She definitely would not have made it.
