[to buzen's credit, he's not taking his eyes off the road but there's definitely this glint in his eyes that is so terribly unapologetic. matsui goes insane in fights but buzen, after weeks of not being able to go as fast as he wants, is also sudden laser-focused on this feeling of exhilaration.]
[HELLO!!!!! This is like being foolish and picking the front seat on a roller coaster and then feeling regret the second the bar clicks into place. HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO GET OFF THIS RIDE, NOW!! He's shifted from gripping the seat to gripping the panic bar at the top of the roof by the window.]
[which he sounds SOOOOOO DELIGHTED BY i'm so sorry matsu your cute date has once again been abandoned because buzen is a goddamn adrenaline junkie. he's really flooring it, the engine roaring in response to the command and he's zipping his way through every single street. it'll probably be another minute before they've made it through an entire lap in unlocked shibuya.
[By the time they get to the end of that lap and Buzen looks like he's about to go again, Matsui's nerves are SHOT.
HE'S IMMEDIATELY THROWING HANDS not literally because he doesn't want to distract Buzen and potentially lead to them crashing, but metaphorically, he is throwing them with all the force of his yelling.]
["I'll have a good time regardless of how many laps you decide on"..... remember that..................
well, buzen is just going to startle a little bit at the wait - but ultimately he's not so lost in the sauce that he can't listen to his perfect beloved sweet matsui? so he'll just bring them to a gradual slow to avoid whiplash, slotting them into an open parallel parking spot with ease.]
[HE REALLY SAYS THINGS AND THEN IMMEDIATELY PROVES HOW WRONG THOSE THINGS HE SAID ARE.
Anyway i aki with my chronic inability to parallel park just sit here like (eyes narrow) but Matsui is too busy trying to reel his heartbeat back down into the normal range to notice what a feat this is. As soon as the car comes to a stop he just sort of folds in half so he can rest his head on his knees.]
...Just give me a moment...
[He loves Buzen so much that he will endure another lap but he has to steel his nerves again first...]
[nOOOOO, HIS MATSUI. buzen truly was on this adrenaline kick and even now his heart's pounding, but in a far more delighted way, but he can put it aside once he notices that matsui isn't feel 110%. so he'll just reach out to run his fingers through matsui's hair, voice softening.]
Got sick? Scared? We can get some fresh air if you want.
[NOOO HE DOESN'T WANT TO RUIN SWEET BUZEN'S GOOD TIME... He shakes his head and, after a few more seconds, he sits back upright and reaches to take Buzen's hand in his instead. It is still very cold but also probably a little clammy at the moment.]
No... It's fine. I just wasn't expecting the fastest speeds to be quite that fast...
[SPORTS CARS ARE HIS ENEMY NOW. BUT HE LOVES BUZEN ENOUGH TO OVERLOOK IT.]
he looks sheepish, but will also absolutely just take matsui's hand in his. he presses kisses to the back of it automatically, turning his hand over and pressing his lips to his wrist too.]
We don't have to keep going... Or I don't have to go that fast. I already had fun, I got to test it out!
[and he will continue to test it out tomorrow when matsui is doing something else. his love and attention will be divided between matsui and this vehicle for the foreseeable graveyard.]
If your blood isn't rushing in a good way, I don't wanna do it.
[HE HAS TO SHARE CUSTODY OF HIS BUZEN WITH A FCKIN SPORTS CAR this sports car is going to be more of an enemy to him than itsuki ever will be.]
It's good to get the blood moving...
[EVEN IF IT'S LIKE THIS. EVEN THOUGH HIS HEART IS HAMMERING LIKE IT THOUGHT HIS BODY WAS ABOUT TO PERISH. Buzen might be able to feel it against his mouth when he presses his lips to his wrist. Very funny.
With his free hand, he'll gently card his fingers through Buzen's hair, tucking some behind his ear.]
He will accept this kiss and give him a kiss back, but the thought of eating does not sit well with him right now, even if it's a beautifully red soup.]
[he'll give matsui's hand another squeeze, and lean over to give him one more kiss too... but then he'll go ahead and just shift. he doesn't let go of matsui's hand thought, just keeping one hand on the wheel.
and he will just start the car again! he drives.... a normal pace!! nice. he lets their joined hands rest in the space between them, interlacing their fingers.]
[Oh... This is so much better than before. NORMAL PACE DRIVING IS SO NICE BY COMPARISON.
Matsui is content to hold Buzen's hand, though as his heart rate begins to climb back down off the ceiling and he's watching the scenery go by at normal speeds where he can actually see the things they're passing, he has to ask...]
[and his answer's sincere enough - he's relaxed and content, instead of losing his mind with delight, but that's still fine as far as he's concerned. especially since matsui's not panicking or sick... he'll guide their hands over to his mouth so he can kiss the back of matsui's without looking away from the road.]
It's still faster than I can run right now, so it's not bad. [his nerf...] I can go faster when you're not driving with me.
[(buzen voice) there's some sights you can only see by yourself on an open road]
[NOOOO IT'S ALREADY STARTEEEEED HE'S BEING USURPED BY THIS CAAAAAR. Matsui tops in the car to establish dominance over the car specifically, not Buzen.]
Ah... [At least he's content, which is good, even if it's not the high adrenaline levels of delight from before. Matsui would be the partner that does not go skydiving with their adrenaline junkie boyfriend no matter how many times they asked (until he eventually gets suckered into it and regrets it the whole way down).]
It's too bad. I enjoy seeing that level of excitement from you...
he doesn't know how to solve this because he doesn't want to go back at that speed when matsui doesn't like it. and if he's not hungry then it could hurt the rest of their date...]
[Buzen has one single braincell rattling around inside his skull and Matsui loves him so dearly.]
...If you would like to.
[He trusts that Buzen won't lose his MIND and start blasting at mach fuck even if he goes a little faster, but he's also not sure how satisfying "a little faster" might be.]
Well... let me know if it gets too fast, and I'll slow down again.
[truly this is something he only says for matsui because he loves so much. no one else is allowed to dictate buzen's drive time except other gou's. but he'll squeeze matsui's hand once before letting go to put both hands on the steering wheel again!
he'll probably get closer to like. 80 or 90 mph. if allowed. this is shibuya.]
[THIS IS SHIBUYA. Matsui will let this happen though. 80 or 90 is still a much more tolerable speed than full tilt 200+ mph in a flashy red sports car.
He's even able to actually peer out the window this time! And see things!! Things that aren't just brief blurs whizzing past while he contemplates the afterlife! Sugoi...
Every now and then he'll peek over at Buzen too, just to look at his expression and see if he appears to be having fun driving nerfed.]
[he's enjoying himself!!! if they were cruising at a reasonable street speed like 40 mph before then this is already double that, and his energy has picked up considerably. it's not him SCREAMING with excitement, but he's way more engaged as they nyoom (slightly less fast than zoom) through the streets.
he can't look over - despite his need for speed he really does try to be safe (while matsui is in the car) - but he'll ask him anyway!]
[Oh no his fondness is spilling over again... Nyooming is tolerable and he always loves anything that makes Buzen happy*, so this makes him feel happier in turn. *almost, exceptions now for both 5am runs and also cars that go over 200 mph]
Mm, it is. Faster than a horse... Faster than a motorcycle, do you think?
[APPARENTLY THE FASTEST MOTORCYCLE IN THE WORLD GOES TO OVER 300 MPH SO,]
Probably not. Haha! You can go way faster when it's just you, an engine, and the open road!
[HE'S NEVER ACTUALLY DONE THIS, HE'S JUST SAYING IT. buzen isn't a flight risk but he's a motorcycle risk because he will want to go on insanely long trips by himself if he had one,]
Ah, maybe one day...! For now, this is good too. It's fun driving with you.
[BUZEN REALLY WOULD JUST FUCKIN DISAPPEAR FOR SO LONG AND EVERYONE WOULD JUST BE LIKE HE'S OUT WITH HIS ONE TRUE LOVE THE MOTORCYCLE AGAIN. GOING 300MPH.]
That's true... Less weighing you down.
[There's a little flicker of fondness in his expression that Buzen can't see because he's being a safe driver. It reflects in his tone too, at least, albeit softer.]
I'm glad that you're having fun. This is nice - I don't mind it.

BUT THEN
THEY START ZOOMING
AND MATSUI'S JUST WHITE KNUCKLING THE SIDES OF HIS SEAT IN LIKE 2 SECONDS. As they nyoom, at some point, he's just gonna be like:]
Buzen-- Should you be going this fast?!
[The car is designed to go fast but SHOULD THEY BE GOING THIS FAST. Buzen seems to have things handled BUT SHOULD THEY BE GOING THIS FAST!!!]
