A/N: I got inspired by someone who wrote a one shot where Cliff is teaching the reader how to drive. Also I was inspired an episode of Bob's Burgers😂😂
***********
I was concentrated on the image before me and couldn't help but feel intrigued. I never thought I'd find myself sitting down and watching sports, if this is also considered a sport.
"How come you became a Nascar driver?" I ask point at the screen without taking my eyes of it.
"I liked the speed! I was the best there was, you could feel your blood rushing through your veins. Fuck do I miss those days." Cliff replies looking at me then the tv.
I felt sort of bad since Cliff was checking what everyone was doing at Doom Manor and it was clear he wanted to talk to anyone. So I decided to be that person and hang out with the robot. It was fun so far and he seems to really enjoy to kiss his old days as a race car driver.
"Well you were amazing I'll give you that." I say looking at the recording and saw him receive his award...he was also handsome. I glanced over and even thought he couldn't feel or show it, I knew he missed being human.
I feel bad for Cliff. "Hey how about you give me a few driving lessons?" I poke his shoulder and he looks at me.
"You have over 30 years and don't know how to drive?"
"I tried to learn and begged Larry, but the mummy said no!" I remember getting angry at him. Larry just kept his stare on me that day and turned around without telling me a word.
"Then hell yeah I'm teaching you! You go ahead and grab the keys. I'll wait for you outside." Cliff almost happily sounded and ran out of his room.
I'm so excited! I noticed Larry was busy talking to Rita and Jane was outside painting. I held onto the keys and met eyes with Jane, "Please don't tell Larry I stole the keys."
Jane looked at me with a bored expression and went back to her painting. "Sure whatever."
I held onto the keys and tossed them over to Cliff and ran inside the black painted bus. "Come on step on it!" Cliff followed and turned the engine on. "Oh no you are the one whos learning to drive not me." He grabbed my shoulders and made me sit down.
I felt myself getting nervous when my trembling hands grabbed the steering wheel. "Go ahead and try move."
"Uhhhh I am moving." I tell him and he looked around.
"Are we even moving?" We were barely moving around the manor. "Why are you even groaning you're doing just fine."
Cliff told me but I could tell he was getting confused as to why I was even barely moving the bus. I began to step on it and the bus started to go a bit faster.
I'm scared I'm scared!
"(Y/N), you're directly heading straight into the only tree in our view. You have plenty of time to turn." Cliff again said when we slowly made it closer to it.
"Turn the wheel." I did as told and began to swirl it on the left and right. Swirl it one way and stick with it, (Y/N)."
I could feel my palms getting sweaty and then, (Y/N), FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST TURN AWAY. USE THE BREAKS (Y/N)! USE THE FUCKING BREAKS!"
I held the steering wheel tighter when Cliff continued to shout at me which only made it worse. I accidentally pressed the pedal and strongly crashed onto the tree. Ashamed at myself I pressed my head down the wheel and groaned.
"Fuck! Will you stop with the groanig?!" A very pissed off Cliff shouted and ran out of the bus before grabbing the keys before I could make some more damage.
"(Y/N), Get your ass out here!"
I slowly got up from the drivers seat and made I out. I made a dent on the front of the bus. "Larry is gonna fucking kill you. Why do you suck at driving? Who even raised you?"
"Niles did." I remember him and the robot man looks down at me.
"No wonder you suck, that man cant even drive. You'll need a shit ton of driving lessons."
******
"Okay make sure to not damage the bus again. Larry held me responsible for your action. Now on your seatbelt and slowly but not too slowly drive."
I held the wheel again and glared back at Cliff who was sitting down behind me with two seatbelts on him. "Why the hell do you even need them?!" I ask referring to his safety.
"Just drive the bus!"
I poured and began to do as told, surprisingly enough I didn't crash. The bus moved slowly but not too slowly like Cliff has told me. I started to drive out of the Manor estate and ignored Cliff who began telling me to head back or stop the bus.
"No I won't! I want to prove to you that I can also drive and become as good as you once were. Maybe not on the whole risking my life and racing other cars but you get the point!"
Cliff took of the seatbelts and stepped closer to where I was. "What the fuck? I'm already proud of what you've accomplished. I didn't suck at driving like you when I first start."
I have him a glare and looked back at the road. "But I'm proud you even let me teach you. No one else at the Manor trusted in me or wanted to hang out, you were the only one who listened to me."
Right when we said that I stopped the bus and heard his curse when I suddenly did and looked at him worriedly. "I-I didn't..thanks for believing in me."
I whisper and felt my face go red. "I don't think I'm cut for driving but thanks for giving me a lesson of it, Cliff." I warmly tell him with a small smile.
Cliff stared down at me and it was kind upsetting since I have no idea on what he might be thinking or feeling. "Anytime kid..Just don't ever step behind a wheel alright?"
I laugh at his joke and nodded my head and got out of the seat. Cliff sat on the drivers seat and we headed back at the manor.
