“This is so cool! I’ve always wanted to do this.” You squealed, but you could hear the nerves in your own voice, which you couldn’t really seem to hide. Right in front of you was a shiny and dangerously looking motorcycle. Completely in black, just like Nate had been looking the first day you had met him. Suddenly the picture seemed complete, he fitted perfectly with this vehicle. A car wouldn’t suit his personality, today you’d even find it strange to see Nate showing up with his own car. “You said that, so I thought this was the perfect time to make your wish come true.” He stated, standing next to you in his black vest and motor boots which made him look even ier than usual. Honestly, just standing here and looking at him was one of the best gifts he could have given you, but now that you finally had the chance, you surely didn’t want to waste it. From the moment he had mentioned that he had a motorcycle you had wanted to try it, and of course you had been disappointed when he had told you that his mom had sort of forbidden him to bring it with him. Honestly you’d just wanted to see it once, you hadn’t really thought you’d have the chance to climb on top of it. Yet, here he was, extending a helmet to you as if he had always wanted to see the look on your face that he saw right now. 
 

For a moment you could only stare at the helmet in his hands, wondering if it wouldn’t be a very stupid idea to accept his offer. Your mom would tell you it was a ridiculous thing to do, that you could die in a matter of seconds. But you could feel the adrenaline rushing through your veins because of the thought you were really going to do this. “You really know how to ride it do you?” You asked as you finally grabbed the helmet and pulled it over your neatly combed hair. It was probably be a mess once you’d take it off, but who cared about that? Nate chuckled and took a step forward as he helped you attaching it and making sure it fit to the size of your head. Each time he got this close to you, your heart skipped a beat. The transparent lit was still up, so you were able to hear his breathing hit on top of your face when he spoke. He smelled like mint and something manly, but you weren’t really sure what it was, though you liked it. “You doubt that?” He asked, teasing you and you rolled your eyes as you watched him put on his own helmet and take place on the bike, behind the wheel. He looked so hot while sitting there, you were sure he could see the way your tongue traced your lips as you stared at him. “Now hop on, and you better hold on real tight.” He said as he watched you swing your leg across the vehicle before sitting down beside him. 
 

“Yeah, you’d like that wouldn’t you?” You stated and he laughed, a sound you had grown to adore over the past few weeks. Being with Nate was as easy as breathing, everything just happened natural, you didn’t have to work for it, you didn’t have to think about it. All the things you did around him were just flowing right out of you and he accepted all of it. It felt weird, sitting on this thing instead of crawling in your car and driving to school. Ever since that one night he had picked you up from practice you had allowed him to drive your car a little more often, and that was a big thing. You never let anyone drive your car, just as he didn’t let anyone drive his motorcycle. “Are you comfortable? Not too cold, dressed warm enough?” He asked and you loved it when this slightly worried side inside of him came towards the surface. There were moments he liked to ask you if you needed anything, if you were alright. It was one of the things you liked about him, that he always gave you the space to do what you wanted, the way you wanted to do it. But when you felt like you couldn’t handle it alone and you needed someone, he was right there beside you to get you through it. “I’m fine! Just don’t go to fast and please don’t kill us.” Every single nerve inside of your seemed to be filled with electricity as he started the engine and the motor came to live underneath you. It grumbled like an angry old man, and before you could stop yourself you quickly hit your arms around Nate’s middle, holding onto him as if your life was depending on it. 
 

“But wouldn’t that be romantic, dying together?” By the sound of his voice you could hear he was smiling, but before you were able to scold him for it he drive off. The first five minutes of the ride you were terrified, not that you were ever going to admit that to him. Though he could probably feel it by the way you almost squeezed him in half. You kept your eyes firmly closed and pressed your head against his back until you finally opened one and dared to look up. It was obvious he was holding back and he wasn’t using his usual speed. Every single movement he made was fluent and you could tell that he had been using this monster for quite a while. He was good at it and you finally understood why he could never get used to driving a car again after riding his motorcycle for so long. This was much more refreshing, the wind was blowing straight through your clothes. Normally it would have frozen you to death, but actually you were really enjoying this. It was as if every single worry that had been sticking to your skin before was being brushed off, taken with the wind. You enjoyed the way his body shaped perfectly with yours, how warm he felt against you. The only thing that bothered you about this trip was that you weren’t able to talk to him, because there was no way he’d be able to hear you over this noise. By the time the two of you reached the school grounds your muscles were stiff from clinging onto him, but still you felt as if you had just done something absolutely amazing. As soon as he stilled and shut down the engine you hopped off and somehow you felt lightheaded as you put both your feet back onto the solid ground. 
 

“That was amazing!” You laughed as you tugged the helmet back off your head, ignoring the fact that your hair was probably pointing into every single direction and your cheeks were all red. The smile on your face seemed permanent when his face appeared again as he took off his own helmet and laid it safely in between his legs. A grin was tugging on his lips, smug because of your reaction but you didn’t care. He had done you a huge favor because he did all of this effort for you. You didn’t fight him as he wrapped an arm around your middle and pulled you closer to him, making your legs hit the iron of the vehicle. instinctively your arms wrapped around his neck and you fooled yourself it was just because you needed the support. “What was? The rid
