Chapter Text
There was nothing out here but the dark of the night rushing forward.
Except this time it wasn’t just the night, it was everything. Nothing. The moments between destinations.
Douxie had taken Krel on a midnight drive on an empty stretch of highway. The Akiridion had ridden in a car before, but never like this he was sure of it. This was special. He wanted to show Krel something he could never forget.
They sped along the highway, no one could be seen for miles, it would be perfect.
The only lights were the stars above them, and the headlights tracing the path before them. The sound of rhythmic rock music blaring from the speaker wasn’t just gracing their ears with it’s tones, but their whole bodies felt the vibrations.
It took a few test runs but Douxie had managed to time everything out perfectly. The straightest stretch of the road was just before them, and just as the music neared it’s apex Douxie opened the sunroof and turned off the headlights.
Krel was clearly caught off guard by what was happening, but he trusted the wizard.
Soon they found themselves sitting atop the speeding car, screaming at the top of their lungs into the wind which carried their voices away. It was the most exhilarating thing Krel had ever done.
They had only spent a few moments there since the car threatened to lose its course, but it was definitely a moment they would remember for a long time.
“I think you owe me a ride in a spaceship next,” the raven haired boy said as he flicked back on the headlights and drove them back to civilization.
