Chapter 6: When We Realised Everything
A/N: I don't own Cars! Not any part of the trilogy, either the shorts! Look, we're having some fluffy moment down there and maybe some angry Sally stuff. Find out ;)
"You're acting like your first kiss with Cruz happened like it was a needed to happen. When you didn't realize that you've already dated with someone." Sally said in a bored tune.
"Well, Sal. You're just about to realize these things, how these happened." Lightning informed her.
"I want you to tell me every single stupid stuff, every single said word. Please. Not for the jury, for me. I'm founding about how you've cheated on me." Sally speaked up again, about this, again.
"Then lay down, Sal, and listen what happened after Manchaster Spinner." Lightning sighed.
/Flashback/
It was a day, after they've returned back to Radiator Springs, after Manchaster Spinner. A day after, their first kiss happened. They didn't speak up about this, after all. They left it open, and closed at the same time.
Yet, it happened since a day, it opened up themselves like they've never felt before…
"Hey, Lightning." Cruz welcomed him.
"Hey, Cruz. How's it going?" Lighting asked.
"There's something we need to talk about… I guess, we need to." Cruz continued.
"Oh, I don't want you to feel sad, maybe we should move somewhere, we have more, uh privacy?" Lightning asked. Cruz just nodded as an answer.
They went out for the place, where they used to practice, whenever they got some race upcoming. Sure, they had the third place to get ready, but Manchaster Snipper just happened a day ago, so they had like two week to get ready, and the first day, where they should relax, they're opening up some open lefted scar.
"I can't thank you enough, for having faith and trust in me, you know. But, there's something inside me, what controls the feelings, and making me… Feel like… I want something more… More of this care. More of this feeling. More of… you." And it went out of her. She wanted to press her feelings out, to him. (A/N: My psychiatrist told me I've fallen for my TC because of reasons like. The care.)
"Look at me, Cruz…" He sighed, as she looked him. Her eyes were full of tears. She thought, he's going to hate her. "I feel the same. We went from nothing to everything. I thought I shouldn't feel like this, but, oh my god, Cruz. You've maked me feel like I'm on heaven, because every moment with you saved me from hell. I think this was enough to tell…"
As soon, Lightning's word got into Cruz head, her tears from sadness turned to tears from happiness. She couldn't keep, but being happy, she heard what she wanted to hear.
"I thought you're going to hate me forever… Like, you wouldn't even care of me, not to notice me, the way I did… I just, can't believe it, I'm so happy for it all, happy for…" She got breaked.
"For us, I guess…" He smiled at her. After his announcement, Cruz fell into his arms, forcing him into some deep hug. But she didn't feel any sadness, because he got her, and it was… Everything.
"You know, I never thought I will fall really hard for my childish crush…" Cruz admitted.
"What do you exactly mean?" Lightning asked.
"I mean, it was pretty common, when I was teen, that we all had crush on you, but my crush grow more when I've finally met you, in person, then it all confessed to some deep deep love, I guess." Cruz explained.
"Well, it was sure to pretty weird to hear. I guess." Lightning laughed.
"Hey, I told you my story! Don't dare to laugh me off, you jerk." Cruz hitted his arm playfully.
"Don't dare to hit me, I take it as a bad word." Lightning laughed, again.
"I dare to do something, better, I guess." Cruz smirked, as she looked up at him.
"Dare to do something better then, as you guess." Lightning smiled at her, as she leaned up, to lock their lips. And now, it didn't felt guilty.
/Flashback end/
"Wow, it felt pretty real to be hurtable." Sally said.
"Sal, I told you, stop being here. Change yourself, because more of these are about to come." Lightning warned him.
"No stopping, Stickers. Almost the end." Sally smirked, what reminded him, whenever Cruz smirked at him. And it felt pretty bad for him. It just, breaked his heart, really bad.
