A/N: EDIT/UPDATE (August 2016)
The parts in italics are meant to be flashbacks and occasionally flash forwards of the future. It is or was a fanfiction convention that I have seen, I forgot to mention it in my haste or just assumed people knew; it is also used for present dialogue I believe, but I don't think I do that.
- The later chapters are much longer, hopefully better written, and slightly varies in structure/style, check it out if you haven't. And if you still don't care for it, then that's totally fine.
I'm adding the playlist links to this update, add the 2 separate links after youtube . com [no spaces between the period, links aren't allowed because of spam]
/watch?v=d82zxqZHUo8&list=PL7W4sk9ECWMOsr1FoVMtFISJA1NPBX-dV
/watch?v=jHikBS81DNI&list=PL7W4sk9ECWMPoi7JdulDhUOrDb23jADu6
(the playlists make more sense when chapter 6 comes around, go to chapter 22 for the explanation, there's other explanations near the later chapters as well)
A/N:
Let's Go, I'll Drive – A series of mostly drabbles about Han and Gisele, the most kick-ass duo in the Fast & Furious franchise. Lengths and styles will vary. I hope to write some AU and I hope you all like it.
Disclaimer: Universal and/or its properties own The Fast and Furious Series. (Don't sue me, Universal.) The title is my favorite line from Fast Five. Variations of the film dialogue also appear as well as references to other media/songs/properties that I also do not own.
*I don't do the POV thing, because it's mostly Han or Gisele, and short enough to distinguish, I hope.
*I feel like I base a lot on Han in Better Luck Tomorrow, directed by Justin Lin (Fast and Furious 3-6), so I feel like it's not too OOC. Maybe a few OOC moments from Gisele because there is less to work with in canon.
*Transferred from my Archive of Our Own account. I do tweak some of the notes and end notes, since this has been posted already; as wells as some formatting and more clarity, but the content is the same.
*I get really rant-y on the author end notes, if it really bothers you guys I'll leave most of it off of this website, but it will be at my archive account.
Summary:
The first time they kiss is the night before the heist.
Set during Fast Five.
Chapter 1: Speechless. Breathless. Brilliant.
The first time they kiss is the night before the heist. They're joyful from the announcement of a new addition to the family, and a little buzzed on the alcohol.
She likes the puzzle he presents, but decides that this loose-tongued version of him is just as interesting. His whispered breaths as he tells her of his plans for driving the autobahn, and of Tokyo, sends chills down her spine as he leans in closer with every word.
She rears her head closer to whisper in his ear, "I'm going to get some air," eyes lingering on his as she walks pass him.
He follows her outside with the stars above as their only audience, the voices of their friends inside, muted. Once he's outside, she gently grabs his hand to lead them further from the building. They stop near a tree, and then he drums his fingers slowly along her exposed forearm.
"So what are your plans after this?" he asks.
"Maybe I'll come along, teach you a few things," she dares.
"Like what?" he counters playfully.
"Like…other ways to keep your mouth and hands busy," she says seductively as she kisses him slowly and softly, moving his hands to her waist, then running her hands along his neck.
It's sweet and tender, and not what he expected after all the tension they've been harboring around each other.
Afterwards, she gives him a sly smirk as if to prove her point.
Game on. He'll play along.
He answers with an intense gaze, cupping her face with his hands as he kisses her hard and deep. When he finally pulls away from her, he sees the dazed look on her face, and he thinks this is the first time that she seems out of her element.
Speechless. Breathless. Brilliant.
It might be the alcohol, but he'll take this win.
"Took you long enough," she stumbles, trying to regain the upper hand.
"Didn't want a gun pointed at me now, did I?" he grins.
"Who says that's not still a possibility?" she retorts firmly, her hands running along his back now.
Silent stares illuminate the darkened Rio sky until she starts kissing his neck.
"Tell me about yourself," she murmurs, "What did you say the other day, about life before we met? What did you do, besides the obvious?"
"The past is what it is, I don't look back," he replies.
"How would I know if I'm running around with a dangerous person?" she teases.
"How do I know that you're not the same?" he fires back.
"That's a fair deal," she says, echoing his words from earlier in the night.
"Fair deal," he repeats, kissing her again.
A/N:
I hope I captured their personalities well. I based this part on the fact that they were kind of nervous-shy when opening the vault in Fast Five with their missed glances and what better catalyst for nerves than kissing, first kisses, first kisses when a little drunk?!
