***

• one afternoon, the two of you were on a drive. you wanted to go to this huge park that few people had only gone to, with a cemented road leading to it.

• alex agreed, of course, because he has always loved to drive long roads with no traffic.

• on the way there, you kept asking questions about him and his driving. questions like: "is the steering wheel heavy?", "how do you focus on the things on the road?", "what does that mean when you push the lever forwards?"

• the two of you got there, and you immediately stepped out of his car, breathing in the strong, fresh air as you stretched.

• alex does the same, yawning a bit before the two of you met up at the front of the car, coming together to look at the gorgeous landscape. whilst you leaned against the bumper, crossing your arms comfortably, alex was still stretching his arms.

• "was it that long of a drive?"

• he chuckled at your question. "i'm getting old..."

• "you're only 21, dumbass," you replied without missing a beat. after a moment of silence, "i've never learned how to drive..."

• "okay! let's go then!"

• "wait really?"

• alex didn't say anything else, only going inside the driver's seat so you went in your side. he drove off to a wide road and turned off the car.

• you suddenly felt nervous but you were still excited because you're about to drive for the first time!!

• "okay, so-" you began, "turn the key-" you did so and the car roared to life. "push the handbrakes down-"

• alex was humming in approval as he watches you. clearly, you have been watching him doing this start-up routine every time you're in his car so you already know this.

• "okay, so this car is manual so you have to push down the clutch pedal first before moving this shift." he motioned to the lever in between the two of you. he pointed at the first pedal to your left in which you stepped on it.

• alex told you to step on it firmly before shifting the gear into a primera, which means first (duh). he guides your hand that was placed on the lever towards the left and then upwards.

• "slowly, okay? slowly let go of the clutch pedal... okay good. and then just a teeny-tiny pressure on the gas pedal."

• some times you can do it, but other times you fail to measure how much control you have on your feet.

• you let go of the clutch slowly but the amount of kicking the gas pedal needs more work because the car sends you into a sudden push before it turns off. and your boyfriend had to turn it on again.

• alex was not having a good time right now. you keep flashing him an apologetic smile every time you fail to move the car. he tries not to scream in frustration.

• another one where you failed to make the car go forward because you let go of the clutch too easily.

• alex silently grabs his beanie and pulls it downwards until it covers his eyes.

• "it's my first time, okay!" you whined, but you were laughing at him trying not to explode. you try calming him down by asking questions to clarify something.

• he stares at you shifting the gear before stepping on the gas and the car moved slowly. "okay, put on a bit more."

• you did, being as gentle as possible. the car was moving straight and slow.

• "okay, so i'm gonna turn right, right?"

• "yeah, yeah do a right." he said softly.

• you steered right. the wheel was a bit heavy so alex assisted you by placing his own hand and turning it.

• when the car was finally turned, alex cheered. "y/n! you did good!"

• you smiled at him and you continued driving. the first time you had to stop and do the brakes though, you pushed the pedal so aggressively, not knowing the impact of it. so the two of you lurched forward. "not that hard!" he exclaimed.

• the two of you were turning around the same road, doing laps. he assists you in turning the car around, making sure no other vehicles were passing by that might intervene.

• for the rest of the drive, the both of you were smiling so widely.

• eventually, you step outside of the car for a stretch. "man, that was actually tiring! i don't know how you do it."

• he only shrugged in reply, coming over to meet you by the bumper. you didn't notice that the sun was setting by the time you had finished.

• "i feel like i'm gonna fail if i ever took those driving courses." you laughed.

• alex slung an arm around you and held you closer. "it's only your first time, and you already did well. i'll still teach you, don't worry."

• he flashed you a smile and you smiled back, placing a hand on his chest and kissing his cheek as thank you.
