“Sebastian!” Lionel began to protest, watching the city scenes flash by in fascination.

"Relax, I'm not even going over 200 yet," Sebastian snickered, grinning as he switched into the fast lane and began to spiral down a corkscrew-like pass
Lionel yelped and flattened himself against the back of the seat.
Sebastian laughed, loving the feeling of gravity pushing them back a bit in their seats. He sped up, nearly hitting 300 mph as they shot out of the pass and onto a stretch of wide, open pavement
(oh shit I thought I'd replied to this, sorry!)
"Sebastian!" he protested, though it was half-hearted. Even though the experience was mildly terrifying, he had to admit that the thrill made the fear worth it. "We're going to get pulled over!"
(it's all good man)
"I own half the police, love, and I've slept with the other half," Sebastian snickered. But sure enough, sirens began to blare behind him, and instead of being annoyed or afraid, Sebastian began grinning madly. He glanced in the rear mirror, spying a familiar face
(I must have done that thing where I leave the page open on my phone, forget about it, then log in on PC)
Love. A red stain began to seep across Lionel's cheeks. "That's still not reassuring– they're right behind us for god's sake."
(oof yeah, happens to the best of us)
"Don't worry, this one isn't really pulling me over. I've been tugging his strings for a while now," Sebastian hummed. He drove down another corkscrew, the car behind them's lights shutting off. At the bottom was looked like an old, empty arena of sorts, and Sebastian and the cop car both slowed to a stop
(yeah oof
how're you?)
"Tugging his…. ah. Too much information, Sebastian." Lionel suppressed a small chuckle, peeling himself away from the back of his seat once they had stopped. "Where are we?"
(exhausted, but good)
"Old meeting place. Used to be a bot fighting arena," Sebastian answered. He stepped out of the car, grinning as he watched a blonde, nervous-looking guy get out of the police truck as well. "Emilio, baby, how've you been?" he called, gesturing widely now.
"I'd be a lot better if you didn't go 342 on the highway," Emilio muttered. He rubbed at the back of his neck, and through the open door of Sebastian's car he spotted Lionel. "Who's that?" he asked
(I'm glad you're good, at least)
Baby. Something in Lionel's expression soured as he climbed out of the car and came up to Sebastian's side. His hand moved of its own accord to slip into the other man's— was this what jealousy felt like?
Snap out of it, he told himself harshly. It's just some guy. Don't be stupid and possessive.
"Just my new boyfriend," Sebastian hummed, smirking as he wrapped an arm around Lionel, dipping him dramatically and pressing their lips together. This caused Emilio's face to go bright red, and he coughed before looking away
Lionel's eyes flew open, his arms winding around Sebastian's waist. Blushing furiously and caught of guard once again, he allowed himself a tiny smile.
See? Nothing to worry about.
Sebastian kissed him deeply but briefly, coming up for air dramatically before helping Lionel upright again. "Emilio, meet Lionel. Lionel, meet Emilio," he hummed
"H-Hi—" Lionel stammered breathlessly, having trouble with focusing on the officer instead of ogling at Sebastian. "Nice to, um, meet you."
"Nice to…Nice to meet you too," Emilio said, having to clear his throat mid-sentence. Sebastian chuckled almost adorably, and it was clear that seemed to redden Emilio's cheeks on its own
Aha.
Lionel couldn't help a triumphant smirk, though he did feel bad for the guy. "How do you two know each other?"
"He pulled me over for speeding, and I helped him with a drug bust to get out of it. Fun things from there," Sebastian chuckled, giving Lionel another little squeeze. Emilio just nodded, obviously flushed still
Lionel shot Sebastian a look that was meant to be deciphered as ‘are you trying to make me moan in front of this police officer?’
“R-Right.”
Emilio cleared his throat again, his own blush finally receding. "Well, anyways. I know you were speeding, which is part of the reason I pulled you over. But you also said you'd give me some info?" he said, sounding partially unsure. Sebastian's eyes widened.
"Oh, I forgot! Here you go," he hummed, pulling a small packet from his pocket and handing it to Emilio. "Sorry, we're on a tight schedule, so that's all I can do for now. People to kill, boyfriend to tease," he hummed before making his way over to his car
Lionel stared at Sebastian for a few seconds, then turned towards Emilio, then back to Sebastian. After a moment or two, he unfroze, gave the cop an awkward wave, and followed his boyfriend back into the car.
Sebastian was grinning ear to ear at how red Emilio was. The poor cop just got back into his car, and Sebastian slid into the driver's seat of his own vehicle
"Two things," Lionel started as he buckled his seatbelt. "Firstly, 'People to kill'? And secondly, I feel bad for Emilio."
"Oh, don't feel bad, he puts up with it. And I was just joking as far as you're concerned," Sebastian teased, speeding away and back up the corkscrew
"Yeah, yeah, I get that. I just feel bad for him because the hottest guy on this side of town isn't his boyfriend." He grinned impishly, cheeks dimpling.
"Yeah. God knows he's tried. Flowers and everything, nice pretty roses his chief suggested him. Still head over heels for me," Sebastian sighed a bit dramatically
"Wow….." Lionel raised his eyebrows. "Ouch."
"I know. Sadly, he'll just have to deal with me loving you. Though I could always invite him over sometime," Sebastian hummed, a flirtatious hint coming to his tone as he winked at Lionel
Loving…? Lionel blinked, colour flooding his face.
“Oh, uh.. I don’t think that’ll be necessary.”
"Mm, suit yourself," Sebastian chuckled. He turned out of the corkscrew, shooting off towards another part of town
