As the Sun remains as bright as ever in the nice baby blue sky, under them is a racing car tire laying in the blue grass, glancing the area around them.
As he continues to enjoy the area that surrounds him, he feels content inside. He takes a breath in and lets it out.
For once, he has a soft small smile on his usually grumpy face, he feels.. Relieved and calm for once when he normally feels different.
Wheel removed himself from the other contestants, he was already in quite a mood and he didn't want to get into any fights or arguments.
No Way saw him walk away, confusion and worry striker through their face as they saw Wheel walk away from the others. They had a thought to go on and chase Wheel but thought he was in a bad mood and they don't want to seemingly get into an argument with them.
As the day drag on, he reminds there, he closes his eyes. Until a familiar voice grows in the distance. It sounds like that voice is calling out his name.
“Wheel!” The tone was loud and filled with slightly worry, it continues to get louder, much louder.
Wheel's calm facade cracks a bit, he's slightly irritated on the fact that his moment was ruined.
As he sits him and turns to see who thought it was nice to ruin his moment, that thought goes away slowly when he sees who it is.
It's No Way.
His eyes shine when he sees them approaching, it's like Wheel wanted them to come along all this time.
Wheel turns back around and wait for No Way to sit next to him. Once he does, he clears his throat out, thinking it might be raspy since he hasn't used it in quite awhile.
“Hey, No Way.” Wheel's voice seemed softer, it seemed softer around No Way but No Way was to oblivious to notice that.
Wheel puts one of his legs up against him. He turns his eyes to see the view in front of him. He takes that deep breath again, he feels calm and content inside once again.
“... So, why are you here? With me?” Wheel turns his towards No Way when he speaks that last sentence, his eyes dart around slightly around No Way.
“I noticed you left earlier.. I just wanted to check in on you, especially since we finished that challenge earlier.” No Way simply reply, though something shifts inside of them. He grows this lump in their throat.
Wheel on the other hand shifts his posture, remembering on how No Way is up for elimination.
“Ah. Okay.” Wheel's voice seems distant. Something seems to be wrong with him, he keeps shifting while sitting.
“Clock seemed.. Different.. After the challenge, eh.. Do you know why?” No Way turns to see Wheel, their eyes are filled with worry and slight confusion.
Wheel looks at No Way and meets their gaze, Wheel can't help but grow a soft flush at their eyes. Wheel subconsciously shifts closer to No Way without them noticing.
Wheel just ends up shrugging.
The silence between the two of them grows as they continue to look at try scenery around them.
“I'm gonna head back.. Are you gonna be okay?” No Way looks at Wheel once more before turning and going towards the group.
Wheel turns to stare at No Way. His heart clenched slightly, he wanted them to stay just a bit longer.
