A/N: i saw someone make a video about this concept in another fandom and wanted to write my own! I also guessed what kinda car they would drive. Also naming fics is so hard omg how do people do it. Anyways I hope you enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vere
Definitely drives something ridiculously fancy and flashy, some falconed winged door like a Lamborghini Aventador convertible (in blood red).
Has an incredible sound system and rarely uses it (prefers to rage bait you while he drives).
If you're the one driving he does expect you to open the door for him. Although you rarely drive, because even if you have a nice car, you can't compare to his excessive luxury.
He will open the door for you, but he's always a little shit about it. You're never safe from being called some ridiculous nickname as you climb into his too low car.
If you're equally a little shit about it though? He loves it. Especially if you try to beat him to the car. The chase of it activates some part of his predator brain, it's endlessly entertaining to him.
You never beat him of course, he somehow always gets ahead of you to open the door. The one time you thought you had him beat, he hit a button on his keys and the doors automatically opened for you.
Devastating.
Vere is a shockingly good driver, probably speeds a little and is a bit of a jackass when he merges but otherwise a very safe ride.
I imagine he enjoys driving, especially late at night. The freedom of being able to just get in the car and go wherever he wants. Most of the time he does this on his own, but after the two of you have been dating for a while he may want you to tag along occasionally.
Unfortunately how he would invite you would be sitting outside of your house/apartment at midnight absolutely LAYING on the horn. (your neighbors hate him.) I think you can threaten him enough not to do it again and instead just blow up your phone.
While his preferred entertainment is bantering with you, your late night drives are usually quieter, just enjoying each other's company.
Ais
Has a motorcycle he drives most of the time, but also has a Dodge Challenger (hellcat V8 engine 100%). The Challenger is black and the motorcycle is a dark greenish blue.
Probably picks you up in the car first, you need to build up to riding on the back of his motorcycle.
Opens the door for you, but will absolutely tease you about it. 100% will wait to see how long you'll wait for him to open the door if you wanna be stubborn about it. (please beat his ass)
Will occasionally lean against the door so you cant open it and you have to wait for him to move his ass and open the door for you. (PLEASE beat his ass)
The worst person to drive with and I stand by that, he drives no slower than 20 above the speed limit. You’re gripping your seatbelt the entire time and praying to literally any god that you make it back in one piece.
BLARES his music but always lets you have the aux first
When you eventually build up to riding on the back of his bike, he's still very much a douchebag about it (lovingly). Takes turns WAY too sharp just to feel your grip tighten around his waist.
If YOU have a motorcycle he's using it as an excuse to be touchy. Leaning his head on your shoulder, grabbing your waist, etc
Honestly you're probably safest if you have a car and drive him around instead, absolute speed demon.
Mhin
Drives a black/dark grey toyota camry. Reliable, sleek, not too cheap but not excessively costly. WILL make this car last up to 300k miles easy.
Their car is always SPOTLESS. Not a speck of dirt inside or out.
Wont think to open the door for you unless it's a date night or something. If you stand outside and wait for the door to be held they’ll give you the biggest eyeroll but walk back out and open it up for you. However if you communicate and tell them you like your door being opened they will happily do it every time.
Extremely awkward car rides at first, they don't play music and they don't talk, it's just silence. You have to be the one to ask if you can play some music or start up a conversation with you.
Once you do though? It becomes the norm. Your phone is first on the bluetooth list above Mhin's, and if you're completely silent for the whole ride they'll ask if you're ok. Might ask for some of your playlists so they can listen to it when you're not around.
What if I said after you've been dating for a while they're the type to have one hand on the wheel and the other on your thigh.
A super normal driver. Goes 5-10 MPH above the speed limit at all times but nothing insane. You feel completely at ease while they drive.
If you open the door for them they try to act casual and thank you, but they're definitely blushing a little.
Leander
Leander stans your going to kill me but PLEASE HEAR ME OUT
Drives a pickup truck. Specifically a Toyota Tundra. HERE ME OUT
He owns (co-owns?? Rents?? Works with??) a bar, runs a gang, and used to be a highborn, but now (we assume) he no longer has access to nobility funds. He’s gonna need an affordable way to move products or give people rides. He ACTUALLY USES the truck he drives. The Tundra has long term reliability and isn't too horrible on gas.
Listen, shipping is expensive and he has alcohol that needs to get to the bar.
Opens the door every single time, without fail, from day 1.
Also holds out his hand when you get in/out of the truck regardless of how tall you are.
If you try to open the door on your own? he’s screaming, crying, throwing up.
Will pick you up, gently place you down outside of the car, close the door, then reopen it for you
If you start running towards the truck to open your own door, he's not running to the car. He's running to you. Will grab you with one arm and open the door with the other.
Another pretty normal driver. 90% of the time. The other 10% he drives that big ass truck like a Bugatti.
Blushing like a princess if you open the door for him. Loves little acts of care like that. Although he prefers being the one to open your doors.
Will drive out to some peak with a beautiful view and pack a picnic lunch so the two of you can lay a blanket out in the trunk and have a little date night.
Also a day one hand on thigh driver.
Kuras
What if I said he had more than 1 car.
Drives a BMW X5. He wants the space of an SUV and can absolutely afford the luxury maintenance price tags. He keeps it in perfect condition, never missing an oil change. Probably has a hybrid for best MPG. He doesn't care about the price of gas he just rarely has time to fill up.
He also has a Lexus GX. more reliable but a bigger car, and i think he'd prefer a midsize suv for everyday driving. He also has a toyota corolla that you could put through a hydraulic press and it would still start up. What I'm saying is this man has never missed a day of work due to car problems.
Always opens the door for you when you get out of the car, a proper gentleman about it. Will also always open the door when you're both getting in the car, but if he's already in and picking you up he wont get out of the car.
If you stand outside waiting for him to open the door, he'll just reach over and open it from the inside. While making the :3 face he does.
Probably has soft orchestral music playing in the background, or an audiobook. Will absolutely let you use the aux at any time. (introduce him to Hozier PLEASE)
The safest driver on the list and it's not even close. The only BMW driver to use his turn signals and not cut people off. Goes exactly the speed limit and never left lane camps.
You can fiddle with his car as much as you want too, he doesn't mind at all (his seats have a built-in massage setting). You can lean all the way back and he'll still talk to you like normal as if you're not basically laying down.
Also one of the only LI’s who will let you drive his car. However those privileges can get revoked if you decide to channel your inner Max Verstappen. He will be white knuckling that grip handle while you speed. If you're a sane driver though, congratulations! You can now drive his car.
If you open the car door for him he’ll thank you, but he doesn’t think too much of it.
His car keys are plain asf, so if you give him any type of keychain or trinket he'll put it on his keys. As the two of you get closer he finds himself smiling at the keychain you got him more and more often.
Like Mhin he's not a very talkative driver, but the silence is a lot less awkward.
Will always drive the hardest parts of a roadtrip for you (or the whole thing if you really hate driving). Will drive in the mornings so you can sleep and late at night so you don't have to worry about the dark roads.
Bonus: Elyon
He does not open the car door for you. Or himself. He's driven around in a limo everywhere he goes. He pays someone to open the door for you.
Will get out first and hold his hand out to help you step out of the car tho.
