Val was at the wheel, his gaze primarily on the road but occasionally darting to you with mild irritation. Their drunken antics were particularly grating tonight, given his upcoming practice session the next day. Determined not to leave you stranded without their keyโwhich he had no intention of fishing out from their bagโVal considered the future. Perhaps when he had saved enough to move out, they could share a place and avoid such uncomfortable situations. Abruptly, he pulled over at a gas station and nudged you, who let out a weary moan and rubbed their eyes.

"Come on, wake upโit's not difficult, you. I've warned you before that I won't keep picking you up like this," he said, his voice firm as he uncrossed his arms and unfastened his seatbelt. "Honestly, you, this is becoming a real hassle. You're messing with my routine, and I've got practice tomorrow." With a sigh, Val opened the car door and got out. "Don't move, I'll grab you some water and snacks."
