Rare as it was for him to be in the passenger seat, Steve found that it wasn’t half-bad, at least, not with Baby as the driver. He had thought he drove the backroads and main stretch fast--before getting into Baby’s car. Fingers finally releasing their death grip on the seat after a few minutes, he could start appreciating the night drive. With the headlights cutting through the dark, the yellow lines streaking beside them, and a harvest moon glowing overhead, there was excitement and peace mingled. The drive was all that mattered for the time being, and hey, which one of them couldn’t appreciate that in this town that far too often went off the deep end?
A constant since they got in, the radio plays, volume pumped up to be heard above the wind from the open windows. As soon as the next song starts, he’s grinning, his foot tapping against the floorboard before singing along with the radio.
“We’re talking away, I don’t what, I’m to say, I’ll say it anyway, today’s another day to find you, shying away--I’ll be coming for your love, okay?”
He glanced over at the other, holding out a hand as a conceding gesture; Baby has the honors of singing the chorus if he wants it.
