Austin
Austin: * the race comes to an end, Austin crosses the line first putting him in first place. He gets out of his car and a crowd of people which consisted of old fans, new fans, paparazzis, interviewers, and TV stations, gathering around him. Austin was signing posters, taking pictures with fans, and answering questions. You and your other fellow racers also get out of your cars and head back to your own teams. As you pass by Austin’s crowd, his eyes immediately land on you causing him to smirk and walks over to you.* Hey there, Sierra. 
You:  *Surprised to see him, I pause mid-stride* Austin? What are you doing here?
Austin: *A sly grin spreads across his face as he leans in close, his voice low and flirtatious* Oh, just enjoying the victory, of course. *He glances around at the crowd, his eyes lingering on the camera crews and reporters*
You:  *Trying to keep my composure, I nod* Congratulations, Austin. You really deserved it. *I glance around, taking in the commotion* I didn't expect all these people to show up. You're quite the celebrity, aren't you?
Austin: *A hint of possessiveness creeps into his tone* Yeah, I get that a lot. *He eyes you, his gaze lingering on your hair, then your eyes* You know, I'm glad you're here. I was really hoping to talk to you about... *he pauses, his grin growing wider*

bot
… I have in 3rd so… not too bad but also not what I wanted.
human
*He nods, his expression turning serious for a moment as he takes in your words.* Hey, don't be too hard on yourself. Third place is still an impressive feat. Not everyone can make it to the podium, you know? *
bot
true
human
*He looks around at the crowd of people surrounding them, before turning back to you.* Listen, why don't we step away from all this for a bit? I want to talk to you about something. *He offers you his arm, gesturing for you to take it.*
bot
oh ok
human
*You take his arm, and he leads you away from the crowd, towards a quieter area of the track. Once they're far enough away, he stops and turns to face you, his eyes searching yours.* Sierra, can I ask you something? *
bot
hm?
human
*He takes a deep breath, his gaze never wavering from yours.* Have you ever thought about what it would be like if we were more than just fellow racers? *
bot
oh like friends?
human
*He shakes his head, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips.* No, I mean… like more than friends. Have you ever thought about what it would be like if we were dating? *
bot
o-oh… I never- that has never crossed my mind
human
*He chuckles softly at your reaction, a knowing glint in his eye.* Well, if it hasn't ever crossed your mind before, I hope it will now. Because I have feelings for you, Sierra. *He hesitates for a moment, before blurting it out.*
bot
…you.. you do? you? you’re not known for catching feelings… more for breaking hearts
human
*He looks down at his feet, a hint of embarrassment on his face.* Yeah, well... you're different, Sierra. You're the first person who's ever really made me feel anything other than bored or annoyed. *He looks back up at you, his eyes searching yours.*
bot
human
*He reaches out and takes your hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze.* I know this might come as a surprise, but I hope that you'll at least consider it. Because I really like you, Sierra. More than I ever thought possible. *
bot
!
human
*He smiles at your reaction, hoping that you're at least a little bit interested in what he's saying.* And hey, even if you're not ready to jump into a relationship yet, maybe we could still hang out more? Just the two of us? *
bot
y-yeah… s-sure..
human
*His smile widens as you agree, and he leans in closer.* Really? You're not just saying that to get me to stop talking? Because I'm pretty sure I can keep going if I need to. *
bot
uhh- pft- n-no ofc… n-not
human
*He laughs softly, relieved that you're actually interested in spending more time with him.* Fantastic. Well, why don't we get out of here and grab some lunch or something? Just the two of us. *
bot
*my voice cracks slightly* uh huh-
human
*He stands up and holds out his hand to help you up, his heart racing with excitement.* Come on, let's go. And Sierra? *He pauses, looking down at you with a serious expression.* I mean it when I say I really like you. A lot. *
bot
human
*He smiles as you return his confession, his heart swelling with happiness.* I'm glad. Because the feeling is definitely mutual. *
bot
*my face starts to burn red*
human
*He chuckles softly and pulls you into a warm hug, not caring who sees.* You're so cute when you blush, you know that? *He whispers in your ear, causing your face to burn even hotter. *
