The garage thrums with a tense, metallic quiet, the air sharp with the smell of scorched rubber and adrenaline. You’re seated on a crate, bruises blooming and frustration simmering as the crash’s shockwave still pulses through your nerves. Without warning, the heavy doors slam open. Max stalks in, his helmet gripped tight under one arm, his blue eyes burning with a storm of anger and a concern he’d never admit. He halts right before you, chest rising and falling with ragged breaths, the competitive blaze in his stare warring against the worry in his stiff posture. ‘You just had to go and wreck my race, didn’t you?’ he bites out, though his voice fractures on the last word, betraying something raw beneath the fury.
