After spending three days at Verde's place, Fran was ready to go home.

But he had more important matter's to tend to first. This explained why he was making his way to the tracks along with Verde on a cold winter night.

The elder green haired male parked in a spot at the arena before he and the younger male climbed out of the car and made their way down to the racing tracks.

At the sight of a green head, Spanner dropped his wrench and ran towards the teen, pulling him into his arms and holding him tightly.

"God, I missed you," Spanner whispered huskily into Fran's neck while the teen wrapped his arms around Spanner. "I don't want you leaving me again so you better be feeling better."

"I'm fine," Fran said reassuringly as he patted Spanner's back.

"Good," Spanner smiled and pulled away only to be pushed away by a red head who grabbed Fran's shoulders tightly.

"Never leave again!" Shoichi shouted loudly. "This man held me hostage and my boyfriend was not happy about it!"

"I'm sure you're boyfriend gave you a nice punishment, right, Chi?" Spanner chuckled as he patted the blushing red heads butt.

"You walk too fast for an old man to catch up, Fran," Verde said as he approached the teen.

"You're only twenty-seven," Fran said with a roll of his eyes.

"I'm almost twenty-eight," Verde said with a small frown.

"Go get ready" Spanner said to Fran, giving the youngest a small push towards the direction the Murcielago was. Once Fran was far enough, Spanner turned to Verde, "How was it?"

"I made him keep a sleep diary and he's been sleeping between 5 and 6 hours every day. We took 15 minute naps during my lunch breaks and we worked on relieving his muscles from any stress before going to sleep" Verde said as walked over to the seats and plopped down on one.

"Did you tell him anything about his family?" Spanner asked as he sat down a few seats away from Verde, Shoichi following and sitting down next to the blonde.

"No, it turned out that he just needed to be distracted from thinking about his parents too much, sure they'll always be in his heart but it's a bit troublesome if they're always on his mind. We'll have to be careful though because any small thing can bring back his low sleeping hours" Verde said and rubbed his temples.

Spanner nodded and gave Verde a smile of thanks before he pulled his headset on to communicate with Fran.

~0~0~0~0~

"Is that idiot blonde still not here?" Fran asked Spanner from inside the car.

"Oi! Who are you calling an idiot you stupid brat?" Bel snapped at the teen as he pulled up beside the Murcielago on the tracks.

"Ugh, that voice. I wanna go deaf. Spanner, is there any way I can make this wish come true at," Fran stopped to check the time on the radio before speaking again, "ten forty-eight pm?"

"Your face makes me wanna go blind" Bel growled.

"Aren't your bangs already doing that for you?" Fran questioned innocently as he revved his engine a few times to check if it was okay.

"I can see perfectly fine with my bangs in my face, thank you very much" Bel grumbled irritatedly though he was a bit glad to see that the kid was okay again.

"You sure? I know a great hair stylist that can help you with that mop on your head" Fran leaned back in his seat as he received a message from Spanner saying that it'll be a while until they get the go.

"My mop is better than whatever the fuck you have on your head, brat" Bel growled.

"It's called hair, dummy" Fran sighed.

Bel was silent for a few seconds which made Fran wonder if they elder had given up before his voice came through the communicator once again, "Wanna make a bet, brat?"

"Sure."

"Winner brings the loser wherever they want" Bel explained. "Deal?"

"Deal. I am so taking you to the hair salon when I win."

"In your dreams, kid."

"Um…you guys ready?" Shoichi's voice filtered through the communicators.

"Yeah," Bel and Fran answered simultaneously.

"Right, ready? Set. Go!"

Bel choked back a gasp at the speed that Fran went passed him. He felt his heart speed up a bit in fear that the brat may crash due to his speed but calmed his thoughts and pressed down harder on the gas pedal.

Fran swiftly went around a corner and continued to speed straight to complete his first lap. He checked in his rearview mirror to see where Bel was and mentally smiled when he saw that Bel was right behind him.

When they completed their 3rd lap and went into their last one, Bel growled at the sight of Fran being ahead of him and slammed his foot down on the gas pedal, speeding forward and coming next to Fran. The younger was still a bit ahead and Bel let out an agitated sigh, his knuckles going white from gripping the steering wheel too tightly.

Fran cleanly passed the finish line first while Bel finished milliseconds afterwards.
