A/N: Can you ever forgive me? I'm so damn sorry, it's been YEARS since I last updated! I've had elections, formative assessments, I was locked out of my account for who knows why and the laptop crashed, so I actually searched the house for the different parts of the computer system and then connect it, but still that's no excuse so I hope my readers aren't fed up of me and I haven't angered anyone :(

This is the next chapter…kind of a filler, not much romance, but..yeah.

To Magica Ring- I didn't update earlier this time, sorry! :( I hope you're still there, and thankyou so much for your review!

To both Guests who suggested (uh…I wish I knew your real names or usernames, or whichever) that I make a story of Usui and Misaki in the rain, and the one about Misa teasing Usui…I'm working on it :) Thanks!

Also, thanks to all who reviewed and added this story to their Favourite/Alert's. If it's any consolation, then I promise to update earlier next time :) I hope you're still here. THANKYOU!

Here we go~

Chapter 25- How to Suck at Driving (3rd Person POV)

Screeeeeeeeeeeech...

CRASH!

Misaki opened her tightly shut eyes to find herself nestled against Usui's chest, the impact of their crash having thrown her off her seat. Thank God he had caught her, she cursed herself for not wearing the seatbelt- how could she possibly forget something so important?

"You okay?" Usui asked her, looking down at her from where he lay.

"Y-Yeah..." she quickly jerked up when she saw that he was lying in an awkward angle, half on his seat and the rest of him dangling down.

He gently unwrapped his arms from around her waist.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm so s-sorry!" she gasped.

"It's fine as long as you're alright." he smiled, gesturing towards the dented door "Shall we?"

Smoke reeked out of the car's hood which was crooked, showing the engine clearly. Usui whistled.

"You know your accidents, now, don't you?"

"Shut up!"

She had just rammed the car into a pole. They got out of the car to observe the damage more clearly. People were beginning to gather and point out at them, whispering.

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" cried one of the teenage girls breathlessly, looking at Usui from under her smoky lashes and ignoring Misaki completely.

"He's perfectly fine, thank you!" Misaki snapped, bending over to examine the engine.

Usui smirked as he walked over to her, wincing as he did so "Jealous, are we?"

"Oh God, Usui, I'm so sorry- I swear I'll pay for the damages!" she said ignoring his earlier comment, her eyes horrified at what she had done to her boyfriend's car.

She hated admitting it was her fault, but then, she had hit the speed instead of the brakes and even in their last moments of the crash when she had been yelling at him and he had been trying to calm her down, if hadn't pulled the emergency brakes then could've gotten seriously injured.

"Oh, is the Demon Prez actually apologizing to me?"

"I'll make it up to you" she said, biting her lip.

"Hn." he snorted "How about a kiss, then? That'll pay for the damages."

She blushed "No way!"

She eyed him for a minute, more closely this time. He was a little pale, and sweating.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine, Misa."

"I'm sorry about your car."

He shook his head " At least you're getting better at destroying things. This was your most impressive crash by far."

"What HAPPENED to you?" Misaki shrieked the next morning as she met up with Usui outside her house.

He wore a sling around his neck that was supporting his right arm. There was a plaster on his arm as he grinned at her, every corner of his face glowing with morning freshness.

"Good morning to you too!"

"Oh God, Usui, what did you do to your arm?"

He blinked, then looked at his arm "Oh, this. Turns out I broke my Ulna a little bit during our accident."

"Wha- I don't- but you were completely- AND YOU DIDN'T REALIZE IT?" she shouted.

Usui smiled a little as he saw the concern flash across her stubborn eyes. How cute- honestly- to worry and be angry with someone at the same time.

"Of course I realized it. I just didn't tell you."

"Why?"

"Because I didn't want to worry you."

"I'm not worried"

"Uh-huh"

"I'm not!"

"Okay." he smiled, saying nothing as they began to walk.

"Great" she sighed, looking down, holding onto her backpack "Your car's all blown-up, your hand's fractured and I don't even got a scratch. You really know how to make me feel guilty"

Her hand reached out to his bag impulsively as she took it from him and began to carry it for him. She did it so casually it was as if she hadn't even realized she had done it. Usui smiled down at the road and said nothing.

"I already told you, Misa, I don't blame you. I've done worse for you. The falling off the school terrace still tops my list."

She blushed as he gingerly put his left arm around her shoulders and leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"But this does call for some favors."

She went redder "You can go to hell if you think I'm going to do you any favors, pervert!"

Usui laughed "I was going to ask you if you'd write down my notes for me, seeing as I'm right-handed-" he raised his eyebrows at her as his green eyes twinkled "-what were you thinking?"

Misaki was fuming as she stomped her way on the street, burning red in the face.

"C'mon, Misa-"

"Feed you? WHO AM I- YOUR NANNY?" she shouted back at him.

"But my hand was-"

"THEN USE YOUR LEFT- THE'RE A PAIR OF CHOPSTICKS, FOR GOD'S SAKE!"

"Chopsticks aren't exactly the easiest thing to handle with your left when you're a righty-" he pouted "-and I just wanted my cute girlfriend to feed me with her own hands, is that so-"

"I did feed you! And HOW did THAT turn out?" Misaki was boiling with embarrassment and rage.

That day at school after a blushing Misaki had taken her chopsticks to feed Usui his food (his teasing never ceased), she had been so distracted by...well, by the way he was gazing into her eyes as she slowly put the bit of rice between his parted lips and watched him chew it slowly...she had been so distracted that she had taken a bite with those same chopsticks.

That had been enough. Usui had clasped the chopsticks and proceeded to parade down the school corridors, calling out to whoever who would listen that-"I cantain Misaki Ayuzawa's DNA!".

Of course, with the amount of perverted imagination in the school, several double meanings were taken.

A smirk spread on Usui's face as he neared her and caught her around her waist "But what difference does it really make? If I recall, you loved feeding me"

"I did not!"

She went slightly pink when she felt his hot breath fall on her face. She pushed him off suddenly.

"I want to learn driving. No matter how, or what- and you will have to teach me until I get a license-"

"Ah...but why me? Does Ayuzawa like taking-"

"And one more perverted word out of your mouth and you will regret it for the rest of your life"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Good."

He tilted his head "And what will my pay fee be?" he whispered into her ear.

She blushed.

"We'll see about that."

"You're doing exceptionally well so far." Usui said calmly from the passenger seat "Just keep on going and be clear and calm."

Misaki halted as the red traffic light came up "This is pretty easy." she said light-headedly, gripping the steering wheel.

They had just driven all the way from her house to her school road without one small mistake. Although Usui was relieved and proud of her, he could not bu secretly think that this was just the calm before the storm. He gripped the handheld tightly.

"I mean, if I continue like this, I'll get my license in no time!"

"Misaki-"

"I can drive all the way to Maid Latte without having having to take the train! Although I have no car..."

"Misaki-"

"Usui, would you lend me your car once I get my driver's li-"

HOOOONNNNNNKKKK!

"Hey lady, move on, can't you see the light!" came a shout from behind her.

Misaki jumped "Oh, shoot- Usui why didn't you tell me!"

"I was trying to-"

"I completely, w-whoa!" she fell back as water hit the windshield and wipers began to wipe her glass clean vigorously all of a sudden "W-what did I do? What did I press-"

"Okay, first just release the-" Usui leaned forward to help her out with his one arm.

HOOOOOONNNNNKKKK!

"Woman, are you blind and deaf? Get the hell out of the way!"

"Usui, do something, you idiot! You're supposed to be my tutor!"

"I'm trying to if you would just stop the wipers and take your foot off the-"

Car horns sounded from behind them as several drivers began to yell and complain.

"Take your foot off the brakes, Misaki-"

Usui fell back, Misaki having suddenly released the brakes. The car zoomed forward. The handlebar of the emergency brake hit his back as he jerked back, and pain shot through him as he doubled over.

"What are you doing, you alien? Put your seat-belt back- whoa!"

Misaki swerved the car as a sudden turn came. The car screeched, making Usui who was just recovering, smash his head against the window.

He lost track of what was going on for a minute as stars shone in front of his eyes. God, it really hurt.

She was oblivious to him as she looked around "I'v never been to this part of the town before."

He winced "You might want to keep your eyes on the road"

"What? Oh- what the- HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Misaki's eyes went wide with horror as she saw a car speeding towards them right in front of her. She started waving her free arm madly put the window "HEEEEY!"

"Misaki, you're on a one-way road, drive on the left-"

"It's coming near!"

"Just go lef-"

"What should I do, you alien?!"

"Okay, first of all, move so I can steer, second- calm down..."

"Is the guy BLIND? Can't he SEE us?! MOOOOVE!"

Usui gripped her tightly, trying to take the wheel over "You really think that's important right now?"

Misaki shut her eyes and punched the car horn with all her might.

HOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNKKKKK!

Screeeeeeeeeeeech...

CRASH!

Misaki opened her eyes. They hadn't clashed with the car, but swerved around and rammed into the wall onto the pavement.

Usui coughed and looked at her "Are you okay?"

"We c-crashed..." she squeaked.

He smiled as he pulled her into a small hug before wincing. She looked terror-stricken.

"It's okay- I guess it's written in this car's fate. Barely a day out of servicing and we're back to crashing. You sure you're not hurt, right?"

He glanced at the windshield. The bonnet was destroyed impressively, for the second time. Well, he'd tried to prevent the crash, but it was kind of hard to steer a car with only one arm.

Speaking of fractures, he moved to get out when a pang of pain shot through his leg and he fell, not being able to stand.

"Usui!" Misaki caught him around the waist, almost falling under his weight.

"Ah..thankyou" he smiled a little. Misaki didn't miss the way his hands were shivering. He was sweating, and he clenched her around the shoulders desperately.

"I'm so s-sorry..." she choked, feeling horrible "Oh God...it's all m-my fault..."

He gritted his teeth but under his pained expression, Usui managed a smile "I was wrong. This is your most impressive crash so far."

Misaki entered the hospital room, a bouquet of roses in her hand. She felt awkward and guilty as she saw Usui sitting there in the hospital gown, rght arm and leg plastered.

"I brought you flowers" she said hopefully, holding the bouquet up.

"How unlike you. Thankyou!" he said, green eyes lighting up. He tilted his head to one side and eyed her as she chewed her lip nervously "Before you apologize, it's okay. I love crashing cars with you"

Misaki's eyes softened and she sat down at the side of his bed. He looked adorable in those white clothes- all vulnerable and handsome. It gave her a sense of possessiveness- it was her chance to protect him from everything bad. Well, usually everything bad happened to him because of her, but still.

"Thankyou, then" she said quietly.

She put her hand on his cheek and felt affection flood through her. Before she knew it, Misaki was leaning in and pressing her mouth on his smiling lips.

He leaned forward and caught her with his free arm, hoping so badly he could hold her properly. She ran her fingers through his blonde hair and clutched him closer to her body, as if she desperately needed some of his unamountable warmth.

"Take care, okay?" she said quietly as they broke away.

He smirked "What's up with the sudden kiss? Missed me so much?"

Misaki smiled a little despite everything "That was your pay fee"
