Can you guys tell that I love drawing Margo hehehe THATS MY GIRLY RIGHT THERE GIVE MARGO SOME MORE LOVE
Anyways, the idea is: After both movie events, Driver has found himself stranded in the small town where Margo and Lars live. His car ran out of gas, and the nearest gas station was too far. He was sure he was gonna bleed out, but thankfully, Margo and Lars find him on their way out to the lake they now frequently hang out at. They take him back in town and hospitalized him. After he woke up, Lars and his kind family offered to let him stay at their home in the garage, and Driver hesitantly accepted, and the rest was history. Driver is now a mechanic for hire in town, but also helps all across the small town to repay his "debt" for all their hospitality. Lars and Margo become friends with Driver, with Margo always trying to find ways to make him included and Lars helping Driver adjust in the town. Driver, at first, was standoffish towards everyone in town and didn't want to stay long for fear of ruining the peaceful town, but he quickly became attached to it and especially towards Margo and Lars.
They were two of the kindest and earnest people he's ever had the pleasure of meeting. He becomes very protective of them and slowly opens up to the both of them in small ways that count. They never pried for answers, they just listened and cared for him. So when they giddily told him they were both together now, he couldn't help but feel happy for the new couple despite how much he wanted to tell them how he actually felt for them both. He couldn't do that, not to them. It would utterly ruin the peace he had carved for himself in the town and his relationship with Margo and Lars. So, he kept it to himself like he always did.
Well that is until Lars and Margo notice the change in his demeanor. Driver grew colder and distant. So much so that one fateful night, everything became a disaster. Lars catches Driver running away and he picks up Margo to go sort it out. It ends with all three of them by the lake where they first found Driver. The two gently bring Driver back to his senses and he finally tells them the truth, all of it. It shocks them both, of course, that was exactly what Driver wanted, to push them both away by revealing how much of a monster he really was. But instead, after the initial shock, they both just hugged Driver and accepted him. They know he is more than the violence he is capable of and that deep down he is a good person.
They all return home, feeling said out loud, felt, and mutually shared between the three of them. That night, they all stayed in the garage, talking endlessly until they all fell asleep together. Driver still felt unsure of himself, but eventually warmed up to the idea of becoming part of Margo and Lar's relationship, after much time passed where the couple tried to open Driver up more and more. It was rocky at first. The townsfolk were little judgy, but after a good ol' scold from Mrs Gruner, the town welcomed the couple soon enough. Driver felt like he finally belonged and had people to rely on.
