After another straightaway and a smoother corner, WR would abruptly pull to a stop into the same alleyway they had ejected from. They would tilt their head at him with a toothy grin and say,
"Well?"

He would turn to WR with a large Grin.
"I have GOT to get me one of these!"

They would chuckle.
"Shoulda prefaced this with 'don't try this at home', but yeah. Get yourself a set'a wheels and with enough practice, you could beat... well, not me, but somebody I'm sure."

He raised an eyebrow.
"That a fact?"
He would say challenging.

They would return his challenging question with their own smug stare.
"What, think I'm wrong?"

"Yeah, I don't stop until I'm the best. So, if you think you're the best then that means I gotta be better than you, and if you aren't the best, then I gotta be better than those better than you."
He would say with a sly smile.

WR would just shrug as they pulled the keys out of the ignition and pocketed them. "Respect the hustle, kid. Really do."
They would pause as they closed the door, a wide smirk growing on their face. "Alright, tell ya what," They would pause for a moment to ensure he was listening, then continue, "Got another ride stowed away say... 'bout two miles from here. You can find it, it's yours."
They would dig around their pockets for a moment and stare at a cluster of metal in their hand as they pulled it out, plucking out what seemed to be a key before tossing it at him, pocketing the rest of it.

"What color is it?"
Drake said snagging the key out of the air perfectly and effortlessly.
"I'll find it and..."
He paused before turning way.
"I... Don't know how to drive..."

"Sky blue," They would say, leaning over the hood.
They would chuckle at his follow-up comment. "Finishing a vague task with little insight shows dedication. Might be willing to teach ya if that's the case here." They'd wink to accompany their grin.
Honestly, the kid had potential, in far more but just street racing, but it was a good place to start. He seemed to need another outlet anyway.

"I-"
He seemed to struggle getting the next words out... as if he didn't know how to say what he was thinking.
"I... would really appreciate it if you could teach me..."
He finally said.

They would raise a brow as they searched for the cat that stole his tongue.
After he finally got it out, they would scoff. "Gotta find the car first, hotshot! But I guess you'll need this too." They would fish around in their pocket again, only briefly this time, revealing a business card with both their email and phone number on it.
"Call me at 4am and I'll kick your ass. Otherwise, feel free." They would say, dead serious in the former half.

Drake would take the card and chuckle.
"Psh, if you try I promise not to cripple you, I'll still need someone to teach me how to drive after I hand you your ass after all."
He would say with a shit eating grin.

WR would scoff a laugh. They... weren't going to combat that, even though their arrogance really wanted to. WR could tell when they were physically outmatched, which was weird when it was someone blatantly younger than them. If anything, he lacked technique. They would test the waters on a later day.
"I take promises to heart, ya know. And hey, if ya uphold, I promise not to kick your balls into your stomach."
Yeah, there was the shit-eating grin. They couldn't help it sometimes.
"But anyway, it's gettin' dark and you got somewhere to be. Go go go!" They'd root him on, half sarcastically and half sincerely. They were honestly curious to see how fast he could find it.

Drake chuckled as he waved.
"Yeah yeah, maybe after you teach me to drive I'll teach you to fight."
He would say snarkly as he ran off to go find his new car!

"I'm holdin' ya to it!" They would shout as he ran off. Now they would wait for their phone to ring. Until then, they were gonna head off on a sunset drive...
