Leon Wang was hallucinating. There was no other explanation for it. How could it be in his driveway? He had begged and pleaded with his elder brother and caretaker, Yao Wang, time and time again for it, but every time he received the same answer. "Not right now -aru. It's much too expensive, and besides, it's not even Chinese made!" Tentatively, Leon reached out to touch it. His normally stoic features morphed into excitement and wonder as his hand met cool metal. He quickly glanced up towards the numbers on the door, sure, this looked like his house, but then again, every house on the street looked the same. Leon smirked, not for the first wondering whose bright idea that was. 6089*. Yup, this was definitely his house!

Suddenly, he began feeling slightly panicked. What if the beautiful, red Ferrari 458 wasn't his? It could've easily been Mei's or Yong Soo's, or even Yao's. Just as he was about to go into a state of panic, he heard a light laugh from behind him.

"Like it? I figured you're old enough to have your own, so..." The slim, almost feminine, Chinese man stood behind him, a small smile gracing his features.

"Are you, like, sure?"

Yao rolled his eyes." Completely -aru. But if you get into any accidents, you're paying. "

"I understand." His brother's words flew over his head, Leon was so elated, nothing anyone said could bother him. You probably could've ripped up his treasured panda plushie and not have even gotten a response! Actually, that might be a bit too far-fetched. The kid seriously loved his panda.

As his brother turned and began walking up back to the house, Leon was struck with a thought.

"GēGē!"

Yao quickly turned, an inquisitive look on his face.

"Thanks."

Such a small word, but to the two brothers it meant quite a bit.

Leon quickly jogged up the pavement to his brother's side. To his complete surprise, Yao wrapped his arms around him. And to his further disbelief, he found himself hugging back. They broke apart, and continued their walk back into their home, where sounds of an excited Korean boy blasting away on his video games, and a happy Taiwanese girl humming to herself and stirring the soup could be heard.

And for the first time in a while, the two brothers felt close. And all because of a stupid red car, that Leon decided didn't matter that much anyways.

That being said, he was still going to drive it. Who would let such a beautiful car go to waste?

A/N

Hi there! This was my first ever fanfic, so I'd really appreciate any feedback. Please R & R, and provide what you liked about the story, what you hated, and how it could be improved.

This was actually meant to be chapter one of a fanfiction I'm currently working on called Slick Roads. I got a bit carried away with the scene, and decided to scrap it from Slick Roads all together.

This is a Human AU, assuming that Mei, Yong Soo, Leon, and Yao all live together, Yao being their caretaker.

I picked the Ferrari 458 because it looked cool, and it seemed a bit like something Leon would like.

For all you more perceptive readers, you may have noticed my little references in the beginning. "every house on the street looked the same", This is referencing China's past communistic state. Also, the numbers on the door, 6089, are all numbers considered to be lucky in China. :)

GēGē : Elder Brother

Mei : Taiwan

Yong Soo : Korea/S. Korea

Leon : Hong Kong
