Thank you for all the votes in my previous one-shot. It really made my day to see close to 10 votes for this book.

Since you guys seemed to like my previous one, I decided to make another Zustin one shot instead of my pre-planned Ziam one.

And also this chapter is delicated to @louvez- for the comments.

Self-made prompt: Justin is a Formula 1 race driver who drives for Petronus which rules the racing world. His number one rivalry is none other than his own teammate David. It's always been like that, David gets the best car and Justin gets the second best one. But no matter what, the Petronus team always claims the top two winning positions: 1. David 2.Justin. So when Justin's car again has some technical failure, it's like it's his bursting point as he locks himself in the driver's allotted room and doesn't open the door until his own manager had to call Zayn.

It was the Singapore Grand Prix. Justin had finished just behind David with the latter having a lead of +0.08 seconds in the qualifiers and claimed the second spot while David got the pole position for the main race day.

It was the race day and a bright warm afternoon in Singapore with thankfully no chance of rain, as it will be unsafe and more challenging for the drivers to drive through the slippery track. There was a lot of commotion near the starting area as the team's were doing the last minute preparation for their cars and giving a run over for their drivers. All the cars were aligned in the starting position.

Justin sat in his sleek silver car with blue on the sides and raised the face shield on his helmet to take a deep breath and get some fresh air. He leaned forward to grab his pale greenish blue gloves which matched his creamish white race suit, from the top of the car's body frame. He looked to the left to see David's car just a little ahead of him in the pole position. He could see at least four people checking on his teammate's car giving him some instructions. He looked up to see only his personal race engineer, Frank and his car mechanic, Fernando going over some paper work, standing beside his car. Frank looked at him to give him a smile and went back to his work. Justin  looked behind him to see Vettel seated in his red Ferrari race car and his pit crew removing the tyre covers. Vettel smiled at him when he saw Justin turn back and look at him. Justin nodded back in reply with a small smile on his face.

Justin was still pissed off from when he had an argument with the head of the team directors about the little setback performance of his car in the yesterday's qualifiers. He had stormed off from the board room when they announced for the drivers to be in the cars.

Justin closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He wanted to clear his mind and calm the nerves down before the race begins which was in a mere 5 minutes. Whenever he closed his eyes he could only see the smug look on David's face when he came to know that he will be in the first row for today's race and his words "Try to beat me, kid" as if Justin was some inexperienced driver. He always seems to tick Justin off with his words and of course when the management always prefers him over Justin just because he brings in more money to the team.

The idea to close his eyes was not doing nothing but increase his blood pressure. Justin shook his head to try to clear all the thoughts about David and the team and tried to recollect the chat he had with his manager, the man who always had Justin's back no matter what.

Suddenly when he was going over the instructions Frank had given him, Zayn came into his mind.

Justin smiled a little thinking about his petit, adorable, goofy, nerdy boyfriend. His hazel eyes which always had a spark whenever he spoke to Justin. His soft, plump, pink lips which tasted sweet whenever he kissed him. He started looking forward to the race, now that he thought about meeting his boyfriend after the finish. Zayn was studying at the NUS, here in Singapore but couldn't come to cheer for his boyfriend like he wanted to, due to the finals going on but luckily it's the last exam and he could spend the rest of the evening with him. Justin wanted to win this race for Zayn.
