A double length drabble (198 words) about Axel's love for his car. Please make a girl happy and review?
Disclaimer: Has Axel ever talked to his car in the show? No? Exactly.
Axel ran his hands over the smooth, polished hood of his car. He leaned over the body work almost protectively, his shadow falling across the shiny black bonnet that had previously been reflecting the muted lights of the garage.
"Are you ok baby?" He crooned, his lips inches from the metal and his breath clouding the surface slightly. He retreated slightly, his blue eyes tightening in concern. "Did Garret treat you well?"
He turned, not forgetting to wipe away the almost unnoticeable smudge of his breath from the hood with a shirt sleeve. "I'm glad you're back girl." Axel said his voice barely audible. His fingers curled around the door handle and he tugged the door open gently.
Axel slid into the driver's seat and immediately relaxed into the comfort of such a familiar surrounding. His feet found their way automatically to the pedals; depressing them slightly to feel them out. His palms caressed the steering wheel, fingers running across the leather covered circle before one hand reached down to turn the key in the ignition. The car roared to life around him, settling into a constant purr. Axel closed his eyes for a moment.
This was bliss.
