Warning: Akira x Hikaru, do not read if do not want.

Summary: Hikaru's a little on the beginner side when it comes to driving. Asking Akira for help, they nearly get into an accident and Hikaru begs for forgiveness. Akira will give it to him only if… (Btw I'm Canadian so a lot of the driving references come back to my province in my country. Let's just pretend it's the same in Japan :3)

"Jesus Christ Hikaru!!" Akira screamed as the car made a screeching left turn, nearly killing 2 pedestrians in the process. "Are you trying to send me up into heaven to literally find the Hand of God?! SLOW DOWN!!" He screamed as he gripped his seat beat for his dear life.

"Oh God, I'm sorry!!!" Hikaru suddenly slammed his foot onto the brakes; the whole car came to a halt. Both boys were gasping for breath as they wondered how they –never mind the car- were still in one piece.

"…seriously how the hell did you get your G1 Hikaru….it was green light which meant there were bound to be pedestrians crossing when you turned! Did you not even read your handbook once!?" Akira asked.

Cringing, Hikaru nodded slowly. "I swear I did…I just get really nervous when I drive. But if I don't get enough practice, I won't be able to overcome this fear. It's almost like playing Go! I just need to get enough practice to perfect it!" Hikaru mumbled.

"I'm sure it seems the same, except you forgot that you're playing with LIVES here" Akira sighed. He laid his head back against the headrest and allowed his heart to slow from "heart attack" to "normal" beat rate. He adjusted his seatbelt and rolled down the window a bit for some fresh air. Thinking back, he now regretted helping Hikaru with this 'small' favour.

-Some time ago…-

"Ne Akira…I need help with something that I think only you can do…" Hikaru said a bit shyly and gave Akira his puppy eyes, which worked like a charm because Akira melted into a puddle of Akira-goo.

"Sure! What do you need help with?" He enthusiastically replied.

"Well…you have your driver's license don't you….so I was wondering if we could take your dad's car out for a ride…?" Hikaru slyly asked. Akira's heart nearly exploded, if only all the blood had rushed up instead of down.

"NO PROBLEM!!" Akira reached for his dad's car keys and grabbed Hikaru by the wrist leading him out the door.

-Now-

Akira shook his head as he realized how stupid and hot blooded he was. He totally misinterpreted everything Hikaru said. In reality, Hikaru just wanted to have Akira's advice as to how to improve his driving skills. Little did Akira know, Hikaru had ZERO driving experience a.k.a. "skills". He should've sensed something when Hikaru put the gear into reverse instead of drive and nearly ran over his lawn ornaments. His poor Mr. Rabbit was almost turned into Mr. Ceramic Dust.

They had stopped at the side of the road for about 10 minutes before Akira finally mustered all the courage, faith, love he had in order to let Hikaru shift the gear from "park" to "drive".

"Ok, so let's have you to go slowly now, say around 40 km/h?" Akira said slowly, as if he was explaining it to a child. "Understand Hikaru? Nothing hard, just slowly drive on the right hand side and you'll be fine."

Hikaru took a deep breath. "Gotcha" He shifted the gear to "drive" and released the brake. They started slowly, and finally got to the desired speed of 40 km/h. They stopped at a red light and started again when it turned green.

"Very good Hikaru! Amazing! This is major improvement for you…considering how you managed to not break 5 laws in 2 minutes like last time!" Akira said gratefully.

"Really? You really think so?" Hikaru broke into a huge smile. "Thanks so much again for helping me Akira, I knew you were the right person to turn to!" Hikaru looked over at Akira and smiled.

Or rather, that's what should've just happened. You see, when Hikaru took that opportunity to smile, Akira happened to see something else completely. With full blast Akira vision on, all he saw was his sweet angelic Hikaru-chan blessing him with a warm beautiful smile that he was mesmerized with yet blinded by. Out of no where, flowers bloomed, birds sang melodies and the sun only shone brighter.

Unfortunately, since Hikaru can be such a dunce at times, when he saw Akira go from normal mode to drooling-full-face-blushing mode, Hikaru was very worried. Why did his friend suddenly turn bright red? Was he sick? Why did his eyes look unfocused?

Still looking at Akira, Hikaru even boldly took his hand off the steering wheel and waved it in front of Akira to get his attention. "Akira? Are you there? Are you ok?" He asked.

"Uh huhh…." Akira murmured out, having the image of his smiling Hikaru-chan permanently burned into his eyes and memory. Fortunately, since Akira can just sense these things sometimes, he felt something was very wrong. He snapped out of his reverie and looked to see what was wrong. He quickly analyzed the situation but for some reason his brain could not translate what it meant.

He looked at Hikaru; one hand on the steering wheel, his foot on the gas pedal, staring at Akira. He looked at the dashboard; the speed was approaching 70 km/h. He looked at the road; there was as stop sign and people were crossing.

"Shit" he whispered before his reflexes kicked in.

"Hikaru look out!!!" He screamed as he grabbed the handle bar above his head Hikaru finally averted his attention from his friend and looked at the road. He managed to quickly ram his foot on the brakes as hard as he could and the car skidded slightly. Akira could see his life flashing, just like the pedestrian that was crossing the road.

The car swerved a bit to the left and right, and somehow, miraculously Hikaru managed to take control and rapidly turned the wheel to the right. With a screech, the whole car finally skidding to a halt as it made a 180 degree turn.

Nearly losing a pair of clean underwear, Akira thanked again and again anyone who may have somehow, anyhow saved them from such a doomed fate. Hikaru on the other hand looked a bit exhilarated.

THUD

Both boys turned to look at the source of the sound and saw that the pedestrian had fainted, hitting his head on the bumper of the car in the process.

"Hikaru, I'm going to kill you." Akira gritted out. "Get out of the driver's seat. Now." This time, it was Hikaru's turn to see his life flash before his eyes as he unbuckled and slide into the passenger seat.

Akira got out of the car like a gentlemen and called an ambulance to help the poor guy who nearly had a heart attack crossing an intersection. After everything was settled, no charges (luckily) were given and both boys headed back to Akira's house.

The ride home was silent and thankfully less "busy" than earlier.

"Akira…" Hikaru started softly. "What." Akira bit out. It wasn't Hikaru that Akira was really mad at; it was himself. He made such poor judgment during the whole day and nearly caused some one to get injured. And plus, the wheels on the car weren't going to last that long after what they were put through.

"Akira I'm really sorry. I didn't know that would happen and….and I ….I'm just really sorry. I'll do anything to make it up to you. Anything, I promise" He said as Akira parked the car on his driveway.

Akira turned to face Hikaru. He had such a remorseful look on his face, practically begging Akira to forgive him. Akira couldn't take it. He shook his head and sighed. About to give his usual "It's fine, just don't do it next time" answer, he stopped as he remembered something Hikaru said.

"I'll do anything to make it up to you." His lips twitched upward a bit, almost making smirk. "Really Hikaru? You'll do anything?" He drawled out. "Yes I promise! Please don't get really mad at me…" Hikaru murmured.

Akira leaned closely over to Hikaru and practically breathed right into his ear. Hikaru visibly shuddered.

Murmuring in a low voice he said, "In that case, I wouldn't really mind having a slave right about now."

R&R?
