This is a piece of writing i've had in my notes for.. I guess two years? I even have a continuation of it for later but for now, enjoy! I adore vernon and rafael with my life (racer oc's with @niku30 ✨).

It was all over the news in the world of racing. Not much on tv just yet, but especially on the races and tracks, people talked. it spread like wildfires. Rafael was checking his car, ready for the upcoming races when he noticed the commotion around the tracks. Of course it peaked his interest.. Rafael was a menace himself and many actually feared him. It wasnt unnatural for him to listen to any chaos there could be and all his actions.. one might say, he'd be feared by the racers, but the news. TV, they're the biggest fan of that exact detail. He had no personal break, the ideal person to follow and get the best of content from.

Paparazzi adored him, since with his long experience, he knows exactly what makes them tick. He loves giving in.. but when it came to his racer group.. they all kept safe distance as Rafael was like a luring leach.. Sucking the energy out of others, yet rubbing it in everytime they'd yet again fail to win from him. An Unpredictable racer that made it a pain in the ass for many. He played dirty, and it slowly seems another would join him on such tracks with that same mindset.. He'd been hoping one would match his energy, rumors even spread that there was a moment where he'd almost broke one to be worthy for him.. yet when it came to him? this loser ran. would there now finally be one that would match his freak.

"Whats all this that I'm hearing folks, no need to keep it to yourselves?" he asked with his confident smirk, noticing several racers glare while they passed the ferrari stand. "wouldnt you like to know." One of the older racers said, making Rafael laugh once, oh pathetic.. They never stood a chance to make Rafael even slightly offended, even if they tried hard enough. "just a friendly conversation, I'm not here to stab your tires am I?" rafael said as he put his hands in his pockets. "You know, being kind to me will give you so many priviliges.. Being mean wont do anything to me. I know what I see. I saw you tremble when I passed you last season. You're missing out bigtime. Your choice" Rafael said so confident, nothing could beat him or make him fold. "Thanks. I'll take the risk and pass." The one said rather pissed, making rafael roll his eyes before he continued to check on the maintanance on his car.. Until perfectly, some of his workers were chatting.

"did you hear? the mccoy is returning.." "What you mean. Carlos is extinct at this rate no? Besides, he's never what he promised to be. I feel like he stopped years ago, because of a woman too?" He said as the other smirked. "Thats the thing. Its the son.. he was known as a rather spoiled brat to say the least. Hard to handle is putting it lightly, hence I feel like he seemed to try and control his son all these years. Remember those trials, where his car got a difficulty or bumped.. and cruze just out-drove him." "Yeah, of course I know, we all saw it." "Get this. he's grown up and done what daddy is telling him. he's becoming a danger and full focused menace for others." He said as Rafael listened closely. "Something must've changed. He went from.. Just some racer with rich background, to actually becoming a threat, unlike his father these days" He said as Rafael raised his head. "not to toot our own horn because of rafael but.. What makes you say what you say. I mean. sounds somewhat believable, and fun to have another troublemaker. But he'd be a rookie.. how come they assume its a danger?" He asked as the ferrari workers loved the way Rafael drove, so it was no surprise they cheer on when things become dangerous like this rookie was giving.

"Hah.. Some say something along unresolved rage issues, but he actually showed dangerous results with the trials earlier last week. He could drift with a lamborgini aventador SVJ. These things normally fall of the tracks like elks on ice. Carlos drove mclarens for that reason I guess, being a 'safe' grip car." the worker said as the others were all listening. "Sounds like the younger days where our boss pulled the most reckless things in his time.. Rafael was so above their shit." one said before another worker came around. "Here.. watch this" One of the workers said, making the whole team run over to the small tv's that they had there.. Grabbing a file as they sometimes record practises on the tracks.. And of course, ferrari guys just kinda 'take' it.. stealing would be rude, but they were nosy people. thats what you get for a dreamteam working for Rafael. They're all having their own ways. "Look.. This is from last week when the track was closed. nothing seems to get to him or at least to see where the limit lies." He said as the watched, noticing the massive speed the lambo went through the corners, no single hesitation in trotting either.. Definitely going above what was adviced.

Having his own style, ignoring everyone's advices.. a familair behavior shared by another. "Being the second italian car racer.. must be interesting. He sure likes to show off. Its more of a luxury car than.. a racer car.. people claim, yet he handles it like its the most safest race car and I can tell you it aint it" he said as all of them got excited. "Sounds like someone has some balls around here next to our guy. Imagine with that style how chaotic it could turn on the tracks.. Finally someone who might join our king on the roads" They said as they all were so 1000% on Rafael's style and doing, despite it wasnt always.. 100% fair. "You got me interested now.. When is the official race?" he asked as the other replied. "in a few days. many said to not assume he'll make it. I call it bluff, Actually. Look at these videos. They make it seem like they're not getting scared because others.. Almost can sense they're getting rather.. tested with this new individual. Imagine Cruze's face too.. He'll be hunted" "Man I cant wait to see that. That kid needs their ass kicked several times more. Thank fuck that Rafael kicked his ass the first drive he took, showing him his place on there". they all laughed like low voiced hyenas.. Always being amused when there's agony involved.. Or fear. "Seems this kid had some build up anger of cruze taking the place.. He might've created his worst danger now". "If I wasnt in this business, I'd pay hundreds just to see Mccoy go after cruze.".

Just as they were chatting, a new matte black trailer entered the areas, passing the ferrari booth.. "speak of the bloody devil. the possible new competitor" they all said being curious as hell with smirks on their faces, their heads poking out above everything to look at what came in. Being nosy, watching the trailer, park in an empty area.. Loading out the car for possible training later today, and they were right.

Rafael listened along, as he couldnt help but love to dive into this fresh new change.. Safe to say he knew the mccoy family quite well.. Watching all these men work for Vernon, and carlos not being included.. Work and set things right.. It was a delight to not see the pathetic father he knew. But saw an uprising son who rightfully should be there, as Rafael already agreed without saying it outloud.. yet. Without any consideration, he made his way over. Entering the new domain that was empty before.

"making yourself comfortable I see" Rafael said as he approached the younger man close. making Vernon who was chewing gum and telling people with no respect what to do, feel the voice hit him.. As he could tell out of a million who it was. "confident you'll get through trials?" Rafael asked another question as the taller younger man turned to where the voice came from. "if you're doing this to scare me, I'd expected far better" "oof. Keep that. They'll hate you for it, makes the job easier" Rafael said as he smirked.. 'Meanwhile I love' he thought while continuing. "I cant recall asking for unwanted 'advice'." Vernon said rather forward, chewing gum as his eyes were set on Rafael, looking absolutely uninterested as usual. Yet his eyes were glued onto the slightly shorter man infront of him, which seemed to be a miracle for Vernon's standards of attention spans.. things often do not interest him at all to begin with.

"I love when you do that. I know you're not a talker but your words, they sure make an impression. You better not loose that when you'll get through trials" Rafael said honest as Vernon even put his phone away that he had in his hand. Somehow vernon's look at rafael seemed judgemental.. But truly, vernon's mind was just trying to figure Rafael bit by bit. 'you seem the be the only one loving that..' he thought as he heard rafael speak. staying distant but responding to the man when wanting to.. which again was a rare sight for vernon. He was a 'go fuck off' kinda guy, and rather not spoke at all. "if you need a hand or two.." Rafael said as he smirked, looking at Vernon's sides for a second.. in which his suggestion could be seen in two ways.. But vernon noticed, yet he didnt go into it. yet. "since when do people that are supposedly enemies.. try and become allies" Vernon asked as he chewed his gum in the most arrogant way, but Rafael didnt mind. "I just feel like it. Sometimes there are such things as exceptions" Rafael said honest, having a feeling this young man will get through those trials, and surely kick many people's asses.. who will be more than pissed about it. "Sure. and you want me begging at your feet for the fact you make an exception?" Vernon said back unamused.. Making Rafael laugh.

"Oh god no. I hate begging.. But you can try all kinds of things if you feel like it." rafael said rather smooth before he looked to the side to appreciate Vernon's car standing there. "After all, our cars come from the same country." "Thats your strongest point?" Vernon said as he rolled his eyes, walking into his own little corner that was to be set up at this time.. Making Rafael smirk with the most ungodly thoughts. 'hard to get.. I'm digging this. more fun for me' he thought as he followed the taller man inside. "Anyone knows, specifically that kind of comparison. Makes the whole Ferrari and Lamborghini rivalry as harsh as anything." Vernon said as Rafael hummed. "And you wanna keep it that way, or make real business?" Rafael said real, making Vernon turn back to Rafael slowly. "I think it would be a dumb decision, creating rages among many" "And you're gonna tell me you dont enjoy that.." Rafael said as he smirked, noticing Vernon who was difficult to amuse or keep attention to.. Kept his eyes on the older man. "Just imagine. People going crazy to hear a new era. A rising new racer with his own voice, along a legendary name, me.. Not bumping heads like all those pathetic assholes always did." He said as Vernon stayed quiet. "So how about instead of bumping heads, make some alignment" "Why." "why not?" Rafael asked as Vernon raised an eye brow. "because I've gotten word you only get 'serious' when people are in the game." Vernon said, as he was still in trial..

Not wanting to be toyed with.. but he already saw himself way higher in society.. and it seemed Rafael saw a spark he just. wanted.. As it got more and more appealing to see the guys' growth.. Making him hungry. "did your daddy tell you that?" Rafael asked as Vernon raised an eyebrow again arrogantly "I'm not stupid" he said direct, making Rafael walk a bit around. "You might be a tad bit right. Seems you pay attention to what you're after.." he said playfully.. "But. You're not like the rest. You know that yourself" Rafael even said to push that ego higher up.. "I used to despise the mccoys for quite some reasons.. Now?... My opinion might've changed. Hard to tell yet when you're in the placement you are right now" Rafael said with a smirk, seeing Vernon very precisely watch Rafael's movements and ways. "whats in it for you." vernon asked.. Having a feel and thought on why Rafael is playing the game he's playing. "I'm not saying you're not wrong for checking.. But.. Baby. you dont even know whats possible if you agree to my ideas.." Rafael said, feeling more loose and free.. "you think the ferrari's prancing horse and lambo's raging bull, having had their eternal competition suddenly lies flat because you suggest so. especially since the rivalry has been there for decades" vernon said as Rafael snorted. "so you suddenly follow people's previous patterns.. Doesnt sound right does it. nor that you want to fit in that stigma. Sure, on an older mccoy's pattern.. But you.." Rafael said as he continued. "i thought we got word of this.. rising racer with his own rebellious ways.. wouldnt that fit the pattern. To break that century old 'rule' and do it our way. whats stopping you" Rafael said as vernon could tell rafael was enjoying this.. But hiddenly, the way the man talked and worded it.. It sure seemed tempting..

But Vernon wasnt vernon to seem unpleased.. Unamused.. but maybe, he'd pick up on it eventually. "the offer will stand. rather you win or not. Just like how you decided to get in your own car and drive me off to where I had to be without question and letting your daddy stand in the cold. Surely i shouldnt be seen as some intimidating rival to you.. Why else would you do that" Rafael said to already pull at the strings, making Vernon just listen and answer rather fast in an almost monotone voice. "peer pressure" "oh please. Give me the blame. Admit, you're enjoying my company.. Barely allowing it, but you do" Rafael said as Vernon just listened.

"I have a feeling we just get along. Thats why I like to, have this conversation with you" "bold of you to assume. Besides, I've heard not many appreciate your company.. They either avoid you like the plague, or just really cant stand you" Vernon said as Rafael laughed. "Thats because they're afraid.. They cant handle the real deal. They know they cant top me.. Nor get a hold of me. Truthfully I agreed.. But.. Someone might be able to get a hold of me with the right behavior. To be the first, and would dare to try doing so as well. Unlike most, who'd chicken out.. And run off for a 'safer' deal" Rafael said vague, but Vernon knew what this man was doing. "You know I can see what your intentions can be" "really? Mind elaborating on that?" Rafael said as he stepped closer, just hearing this displeased hum and no further answers..

"tell you what.. If you rather go racing outside these tracks instead of being stuck at home with daddy dearest.. Let me know" Rafael tested all waters.. Having a new excitement.. On purpose, he decided to step back and go back to his booth.. Making Vernon eventually after some seconds of silence, call. "how" he said as Rafael smirked wide. "Find your way. I'm sure you will. Goodluck with those trials" Rafael said as he smirked. "One more thing actually" he said as he turned around. "you'd look very nice against me and my colors you know. black and red is iconic. Even the paparazzi would be all over it.. I know what they like. They'd finally have something exciting to speak about.. Unlike the pathetic excuse of your daddy" Rafael said as Vernon watched this confident man walk.. seeing his whole posture and rather muscled back too.. Before turning to his own setup.. getting ready to train for that trial.. Being determined in his own way.

But back at Casa del Mccoy..

"I just KNOW.." Carlos said with worry, pacing through the big livingroom as alissa softly sat on the edge of the couch, watching her love unable to sit down. "as soon as vernon gets in there.. Being an official racer. he'll be all over him. Lure him in.. Maybe even become as dangerous, or worse.. Make it hell for cruze. Shouldnt this concern you too?." Carlos said as Alissa sighed. "How can you tell Carlos-" "Because he tried to contact the boy several times by now. I know what he's doing. He's possibly all over the fact at this rate that Vernon is setting up his own corner at the tracks. The first steps he took on those tracks weeks ago, that snake actually managed to get him. In his own car. AWAY FROM ME. God knows what those two discussed." Carlos said, making Alissa try and somehow calm him a bit. "Carlos.. Love, he's mature at this rate. He's not your little kid anymore.. I know its not what you want to hear but, possibly figuring out what they said is a form of interrogating their privacy" Alissa was realistic, despite she knew that Rafael is a different kind of absolute danger in this world.. Carlos even at that was mumbling things out of frustration. "

'I'll make it worth your while unlike daddy dearest' He'd probably say.. God- Why cant he just bother someone else" Carlos said so strong, for alissa stood up gently. "but what if thats vernon's lifestyle. a preference by all means" Alissa softly said as Carlos immediately hammered back. "alissa.. you know about rafael.. He's.. How bad he can be.. How poisionous. Cant you remember what I said.. He said "I guess you're good for one thing".. Cant you see the results thats could come out of this right now" Carlos said as he eventually sat down, swallowing. "he almost got me too.. and it wasnt even my kinda life." he said ashamed.. Feeling a soft pet over his head from alissa who stood next to him. "I still stand by what i said.. if that was your life, I would've let you go" "But it wasnt what I wanted.. Anything BUT. - but he made it so tempting.. twisted the mind. Please dont doubt my words" Carlos said almost desperate, feeling the reassurance from alissa who softly shushed him.. "I dont, love.. Dont fred... But why are you so worries about all of this" Alissa softly nudged as Carlos invited her to come closer.. For she took place on his lap, wrapped by the man's arms as he spoke. "he could tell.. you're my everything. my weakness by all means. he knows everyone's.. and he'll figure out Vernon. Hell.. Just by looking he'll know what makes him tick. I didnt realize how problematic vernon was until I met Cruze.."

"no harsh feelings, but Cruze isnt the most ideal kid either-" "But far more behaved than vernon.. Vernon's been protesting against anything I did from the start. I know that once that fame gets to him, he'll be an unstoppable menace and I know that Rafael KNOWS, I dont want that to happen.. So he's extra keen onto achieving it." Carlos explained as Alissa brushed through the man's hair.. "As much as I'd like to help you Carlos.. Realize, you cant stop him.. the more you'll restrain him the far worse you'll make him. He'll get so angry with you he'll leave sooner or later" Alissa kept saying, but Carlos was somewhere else mindwise. "alissa.. vernon will be unhinged. Far more than he is already" "maybe you dont know him good enough to realize that.. thats how he is. From the few times me and him have been alone here at him.. I can tell its his nature.." "His nature?"

"have you paid close attention, I'm not saying you're a bad dad.. by far.. But he's.. Special in his own way. His ways are not for everyone, and you two are like black and white.. You have different priorities.. He. Because of your rather strict rules, he'll start to protest more and more, rather than ever be on the same page with you.".

"I know what you say, and I.. Accept him as far as I can. But cant you see the danger of this?" Carlos said as he sighed.. rubbing over his own face. "I can imagine the danger, but I'm afraid he's old enough.. to make his own choices". As the silence hit, making Carlos sigh. "I should've known. "He always wanted to linger with racers alone.." "Maybe as well because you were always the person in said races.. I'm not saying i'm not on your side, but you have to view this on a realistic spectrum. You wont loose me.. But keep on restraining your own rebellious son.. and he'll do far worse than what you want him to avoid" Alissa said.. Trying to comfort her husband.. But Carlos sighed deeply.. "I know you're right.. I just.. Need to think this over.." Carlos softly said.. Making alissa gently get up as it was late. "I'll make some tea and follow up to the bed.. Dont make it too late okay?" She said, making the man smile so thankfully. But as she left, his brain went back to his thoughts.. Rafael was more dangerous than the whole track. But it made Carlos make a decision he's had on his mind for awhile.. and this just pushed it.
