Pairing: Dino Brewster x reader
Genres: CARS, and fluff, yeah, angst
‘’Imagine being the one Dino would risk his life for.’’
‘’And the race is on!’’ Monarch pronounced as the six beautiful cars scorched the asphalt. Thousands units of horsepower and over 6 million dollars in cars. Winner takes it all, losers can walk home. This, is De Leon.
Your beloved Dino was behind the wheel of his magnificent Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, one of the three in the whole world. His grip was tightly around the red leather wheel, his eyes focused on the road. Dino had already won De Leon few years back, but now the reason he was racing, was different. He was doing it to save you.
De Leon is know to be one of the most dangerous illegal races in the world. Drivers died with their cars as they were wedged from the road, crashed with other opponents, or stopped by the police. Every year the cars got faster and the drivers more reckless, De Leon’s fame spreading worldwide.
Six cars, six drivers, one winner.
You tried to get your hands free from the ties that held you down. A man called Rogers had captured you and threatened Dino, that if he didn’t win De Leon again, and give 70% of the profit to Rogers, he wouldn’t see you again, ever. Dino didn’t hesitate when he was asked what he’d do. He’d race, and he’d win.
The race was on, a Bugatti Veyron holding the lead. Dino was second. You followed the race from above in a helicopter. Your heart was bounding in your throat as one car after another were left behind. Toby Marshall, who was racing in De Leon for his dead friend, was trying to get his revenge on Dino. Toby’s friend’s, Pete’s, car was hit by Dino’s car. Pete’s car flipped around in the air few times, and as it hit the ground, flames took over the vehicle. There was nothing they could do. Toby was furious, since Dino managed to cover himself from the accident, sending Toby’s ass to jail for two years. Dino was never caught because the car he drove was hidden, but now, Toby Marshall was driving the exact same car. Dino was in big trouble.
Toby passed cars like it was nothing to him. He was doing this for a friend, to get revenge. But Dino couldn’t care less, all that he was concerned about was you. Police copters flew around the route, reporting to the ground of the suspects. Monarch was pleased. This has been the most intense De Leon by far. And it sure was
‘’Your sugar better win this, or I’ll throw you out of this copter.’’ Rogers growled, forcing you to face him by pulling your head back from your hair. You looked at the man with disgust in your eyes, huge urge to spit to his face lingering in your mind. But you decided to remain silent and focused once again to the road. Toby had taken the lead, Dino was third. Few moments passed, the three remaining cars fighting for the price. Suddenly, Dino pushed the McLaren F1 next to him. Dino’s left front tire hit the McLaren’s right back tire, sending the whole car into air. The car flipped around and bounced from the ground before landing to its roof. Driving pass the smoking car, Dino didn’t notice how close to the rock he was driving. He hit the ground lightly but managed to adjust his car just in time. Now there was just him and Toby. And it wasn’t about racing anymore.
The two of them kept racing, fighting for dominance and the first place. The tires left smoking trails to the dark asphalt of California as they got closer to the lighthouse where the goal was. Dino was only few inches behind Toby, eager to push him to the side like he pushed that McLaren. But he didn’t. Toby pushed the breaks, letting Dino pass him. Monarch yelled trough the radio. What was going on?. As the road got more straight, Toby gained up speed, driving now next to Dino, who was ready to shove Toby’s car out. But that was exactly what Toby wanted. As Dino turned his wheel towards Toby’s car, Toby slowed down. You held your breath as you realized that Dino couldn’t straighten his car before hitting the rock.
‘’No!’’ you shouted, tears streaming down your cheeks as the black Elemento flipped around, bouncing from the ground and finally landing to its roof. Flames began to rose from the car, dark smoke rising to the sky. ‘’Wait! Wait!’’ Monarch said as Toby stopped his car and turned around. Also Rogers was heading to the place with you.
As you got to the place which was filled with polices by now, Toby was long gone, driving towards the light house. Rogers was man enough to open your ties and let you out of the copter. You jumped off as soon as the copter hit the ground and rushed to Dino, who had been saved by Toby. Toby Marshall had saved your love. You wrapped your arms around his neck, pressing your body fully against his. He tried to pull you even closer, holding you firmly. His cheeks were dirty, with dust and blood. And he was crying. You looked up at him and let out a desperate, teary laughter before smacking your lips to his. ‘’You’re alive.’’ you whispered ever so gently, like you were afraid that if you spoke too loudly, he would vanish. ‘’Of course I am.’’ he answered, pushing a bit of your hair behind your ear. ‘’I’m not just going to leave you.’’ he continued, a single tear rolling down to his chin. You wiped the tear away as well as he wiped yours. Once again you hugged him deeply, not wanting to let go, but the police had other things in mind.
Dino was taken to jail for illegal racing. For your luck, so was Rogers. He had other kidnapping cases and records which gave him a much longer cake than to Dino. Although Dino was in jail, you were happy. He was alive, and would be back in few years. And you would wait.
He raced the deadly De Leon alone for you, now it’s your turn to race alone for him.
