PITBABE - ENGLISH - Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Since Charlie started his journey as a professional racer, there have been many things that have made him understand more about the world of racing. The boy developed his skills by training and competing to gain experience with every mile he covered. And what makes him proud is his latest record which is the second highest ranking since the first season of competition.
But on the other hand, it was heartbreaking because up to now he was still in second place since no matter how hard he trained, he still couldn't beat Pit Babe, the King of Hollow.
Therefore, today is another day that Charlie calls a fateful day.
Of course, this wasn't the first or second day that was fateful. But how many times? He himself didn't know. He didn't want to count it. All he knew was that every time he competed with Babe, the young Alpha would always consider it his destiny. Even though they were lovers and he loved Babe very much, things on the field and in real life were different things. In real life, he would be the boyfriend who would uphold Babe's happiness. But on the field, can he beat Babe just once?
When his mind was always filled with the same thoughts as this time, he had to win. So his foot continued to step on the accelerator with eyes filled with greater determination than before. Therefore, he needed to focus his eyes with all his might and drive in the middle of the night like this
Yes, this is the Midnight Race
He had decided that if he couldn't win on the field, he should at least win off the field once.
Tonight, Billy holds a final race at midnight to give the racing pairs another chance to duel. The reason is, Charlie always shows strong determination to beat Babe. So Midnight Race provides a full opportunity. Of course, the betting value on this race is very high because of the story of rivalry and love, attracting spectators to bet. But for the two drivers, neither has officially placed a bet, and it seems like this is more of a battle of honor.
The route used in today's match was quite long and quite chaotic because at that time it was a match between two famous racers. So Midnight Race can arrange a special track to show their skills to the fullest. The track distance this time is almost double the normal race distance. With each turn on a block that has an intersection, the number of valuable cards on the field doubles, revealing cars driving all over the street. But on this route, there were only two cars chasing each other intensely. The two of them took turns leading and following along the way. It could be said that the distance was very close and it was not at all clear who would win.
The shiny blue and black Bugatti was back on par, after the black car had been half a block behind for some time. When the two cars were put back together, things got better. It makes the picture look good in a strange way, but it seems like it would be unique to this odd couple. The reason is, even though they are on the same track, Pit Babe and Charlie will always use the same car model but different colors to race.
People speculate in various ways, one of which is saying it is for the sake of fairness in this competition. Some said it was a self-declaration to show that they were lovers, but no one knew the real reason.
The fact is that Babe deliberately chose the same model car as Charlie just to annoy his young boyfriend. Whatever the race, Babe will let Charlie choose his car first. After that he will choose the same model of car because he knows Charlie will be annoyed if he continues to choose the same car. And out of a desire to annoy him, Babe has to keep buying the same car as Charlie and using it to compete with the stupid kid, until other people start to notice and it becomes as thought-provoking a theory as it seems.
The black Bugatti that Charlie was driving had slightly overtaken Babe's blue Bugatti, but the distance was not too far. But he had to step on the gas pedal because Babe overtook him again at the next intersection. The young alpha slapped the steering wheel in annoyance. Whatever happens, Babe won't let go. In fact, they always train together and Charlie thinks he is starting to be able to read Babe's movements and will beat him. But when he actually took to the field, he still couldn't do it. Even though he knew more than before, he didn't know what made him predict wrongly or what because Babe always changed his driving style continuously, making him feel like he could never keep up with his opponent.
"Calm down, Daddy. You seem really upset."
Babe said to himself while laughing in his throat. He noticed Charlie's car losing a bit of rhythm when exiting the corner. It seemed like the kid was starting to get annoyed now, because he hadn't had time to overtake him. And even if he knew how difficult it was, Pit Babe definitely wouldn't budge. If Charlie really wanted to win, he could win in second place even if he used all his strength. That means, in every race he competes in, if someone can beat him, it means his opponent has real potential.
Honestly, Charlie is a kid who has a lot of racing skills, maybe even more than himself because that kid can beat professional racers. (Even though at that time there was a little luck that helped, but luck also counted as ability) and that was able to lift him to second place.
Since competing in the first season until now, the big boy has been able to carry himself to be able to compete with him. As Babe's personal trainer said, Charlie is a student that Pit Babe would be proud of.
"Okay! Just drive on the sidewalk!" Charlie shouted after seeing Babe forcing the car to drive on the sidewalk instead of on the road with him. Since there were no people living in this area, it was no different from a deserted city. And because of that, riding to your heart's content is possible because Midnight Rage is like that.
The tall Alpha exclaimed loudly when the person driving on the sidewalk suddenly drove in front of him, before turning the wheel, swinging back onto the road, and deliberately cutting in front of his car. Charlie flinched because he couldn't speak. He wanted to scold his so badly, but he knew Babe probably wouldn't listen when he scolded her, and he felt that other people were probably laughing at him right now because he managed to taunt her.
"He must be upset." And that's true. Babe laughed with satisfaction when he saw Charlie starting to turn his car to the side and trying to speed up to pass him. "When he comes home, he'll definitely complain."
Despite knowing that, that doesn't stop Babe from having fun. The skinny Alpha stepped on the accelerator and fought back, even though they had to turn not too far. Charlie didn't give up either. The young man stepped on the gas pedal as hard as he could until he was able to equalize again. Now Babe really wanted to see his young boyfriend's face because he could tell that Charlie must be furrowing his eyebrows in annoyance. That was one of Charlie's sexiest facial expressions in his eyes. Unfortunately, he couldn't turn around and see his expression while racing.
They finally reached the final round. The two Bugattis drove past the buildings and entered the main road zone which was the direct route. And this is the final part to decide who will win the game. However, until now, it is still not certain who will become champion. The reason is, the two luxury cars were walking side by side from a distance until they were less than one meter apart.
Various luxury cars were ready at the finish line and motorbike convoys began to arrive. They start screaming and horns sound rhythmically to signal to the teams waiting at the finish line that the contestants have headed to the final round.
'No, I can't lose today.'
There was only this thought in Charlie's head. The distance between his car and Babe's car wasn't that big, but if it continued at this rate, eventually, Babe would win, and he didn't want it to be like that. No matter what ranking, he would be defeated. But this time he must win.
Just have to win. There is no other choice.
The desire to win kicks in at full speed. This made Charlie feel like his ears were closed for a moment and he couldn't hear anything anymore. His eyes just stared straight at the finish line, not seeing anything around him. The palms of his favorite gloves gripped the steering wheel tightly. The sole of his foot pressed the gas pedal all the way. He felt like he would jump out of the car if it wasn't for him wearing his seat belt. This situation lasted for a few moments. And at that time Charlie himself didn't know what happened, when he realized it, he heard loud cheers. That's when he realized that he and Babe had crossed the finish line.
'Who won?'
As soon as the car came to a complete stop, Charlie then took off his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car in a daze. The young Alpha looked around confused because everyone who saw him, all ran towards him and they looked different. Bebe's car was parked next to him, and the owner of the blue Bugatti got out of the car with a neutral expression on his face. Charlie didn't dare to guess what happened. But, what does this mean...?
"Amazing, Charlie! You can beat Pit Babe!"
The voice of someone in the cheering section shouted. Then followed by the voices of other people congratulating him enthusiastically. Everyone in the field gathered around him, and everyone talked until he no longer understood the meaning. He just realized that he was now looking at Babe, and Babe, who was leaning against the car door outside the circle, was looking at him with a smile before he opened his mouth and said something that he couldn't hear but that he could understand by reading the other person's lips.
"Choose your present...."
~Oh, when you walk by every night, Talking sweet and looking fine... I get kind of hectic inside....~(Mariah Carey - Fantasy)
Charlie moved his mouth to the lyrics of the song playing in the car. The boy swung his shoulders back and forth while snapping his fingers rhythmically with a look of extraordinary happiness, until Babe took the role of driver while pursing his lips in annoyance. He thought this might be Charlie's happiest day in months. But, it's not surprising that Charlie is like this because today is the day he will receive the award.
~ Mmm, baby, I'm so into you... Darling, if you only knew... All the things that flow in my mind...~
But is this really that happy?
"This is the first time I've seen a boy sing a Mariah Carey song so passionately," Babe said in the driver's seat with a confused expression, glancing at the giant boy dancing wildly.
"When at home, the housekeeper likes to play it," Charlie answered with a bright smile as he looked out the car window and waved cheerfully at the person sitting in the car next to him. "They say this song makes homework more fun."
"Are you that happy?"
"Sooo happy!!" answered the young man cheerfully. "Even when I called Jeff and said hello, he asked, did you win the lottery ?"
"I thought, even if you won the lottery, you wouldn't be this happy."
"That's right. I want your prize more than winning the lottery."
"Yeah, as long as you are with me, have you ever looked happy like this?" Babe pursed his lips in annoyance.
If babe was asked if he was happy to see Charlie so excited about his gift, he was honestly happy. Just seeing the child happy made him happy too. But now it's hard to see him a little too happy. He looked more average than when he was with her. Will he be dumped like this?
"Oh... I'm always happy."
"But not as much as now."
"Right now I'm just excited. It'll go away soon," Charlie answered, before leaning over and kissing Babe on the cheek to reassure her. "Anyway, you're still number one. Don't be afraid."
"You said it!"
"Really! Ah, once you finish giving my present, I will give you too."
"Oh?" Babe smiled when he heard that. "What present will Phi Babe get?"
"Next time, I want you to say those words when we have sex."
"Ha ha ha!" Babe exclaimed in joy, even happier than when he was racing, while Charlie couldn't help but smile because Babe looked happier than he thought, and that made him realize that the person who wanted to hear those harsh words were his words along with the accompanying hardsex. . Previously, Charlie said that having sex like that was too rough and was afraid that Babe would get hurt, but he knew that Babe liked it, so in the end Charlie had to choose to take it as a gift. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure."
Charlie answered, before reaching his hand out the car window and quietly backing away. He exhaled slowly, as if he was accepting that strange wish. The oddity of his beautiful boyfriend.
"Are we there yet?" he asked while craning his neck to look out the car window, surprised because the place he was going to looked very different from what he thought.
"We've arrived, come down." Babe answered, before opening the door and getting out of the car. Charlie, who was still a little confused, couldn't do anything but get out of the car and follow the person who came out, still looking left and right, observing his surroundings in surprise. .
This place is far from the condo. There are no tall buildings and no crowded cars on the streets like in the city. The first thing he felt was a state of peace and calm. The large area is covered with short grass and filled with large trees scattered around it enough to provide shade. There are ornamental plants and flowers along the fence. And in the middle of this area stood a house, neither small nor big, it looked like a house in a European village. It wasn't anything fancy. but it felt strangely warm and inviting, even though what he saw as he stood in front of the house seemed like it would invite a bit of conflict.
"Come here, what makes you stand and look so confused?" Babe motioned to the young man who was walking like a lost child to hurry up and come towards him. And until now, Charlie still doesn't know where this is? And why did Babe take him? And he has to find out.
"Really? here?" Charlie asked with an expression that showed he was still shocked. "Why don't I see anyone?"
"There will be soon."
"Hah?"
"Well, in a moment..."
Bang!
"Shiaaaa! Naughty dog!"
Before Babe could finish speaking, the door of the house he thought was suddenly closed opened with a bang before being followed by someone's scream which made him have to take a deep breath to suppress his anger.
"Oh!"
And it seems, everything he prepared failed because now the naughty dog that came out of the house ran around and caught his leg until the boy fell onto the grass. But, he didn't seem annoyed or surprised at all. Charlie, on the other hand, was still smiling broadly, after seeing his new friend come running to greet him. A pale yellow Golden Retriever puppy of kindergarten age.
"I told you to wait for the signal first, Alan!" Babe turned around and shouted at the X-Hunter team captain. He let go of Charlie's gift before he gave the signal. And he just stood there, smiling at his annoyingly.
"Sorry, I thought I had closed the door tightly," said Alan with a guilty expression. "And this kid doesn't know what's going on. He was running all over the house, Jeff was scared and he went to hide in his room."
"This isn't what I planned!" Babe grumbled in annoyance because the surprise plan for Charlie didn't go according to plan. But when he turned around and saw the stupid child sitting and playing with a puppy that looked like himself, his annoyance seemed to have disappeared in a wonderful way.
"Hello, smart boy... What's your name? Hmm?"
Babe raised his hands to his chest as if his heart was going to break with excitement at the cuteness of Charlie and his new four-legged friend. The young man smiled broadly and picked up the puppy, hugging him and kissing him many times until he squeezed him. Babe believed with all his heart that Charlie really liked the dog.
According to him, it would not be wrong to allow him to keep a dog.
Look, look at the smile of his young boyfriend.
"Your eyes are heart-shaped now, Babe!" shouted Alan who was standing next to him to remind him in case his friend didn't realize how childish he was.
"So sweet..." Babe said softly, before turning around and shaking Alan's arm as hard as he could
He was so mesmerized by the sight before him that he couldn't stand it. "Did you see how my boyfriend played with that dog? Damn, I could die watching that."
"Oh, you can die, but not now."
"But what I saw really threatened my heart. Good choice, Alan."
"Oh, Jeff, who helped me choose," Alan said with a proud look on his face, "He said this dog looks a lot like his big brother."
"That's true. I'm starting to doubt whether that dog looks like my husband or whether he actually looks like a dog."
The two adults stood up and looked at the young man who was playing with the puppy while using small voices while talking affectionately. And because two pairs of eyes on the field were looking straight at him, it caused Charlie to realize that he was so excited about his new friend that he forgot about everyone else.
"Is this child the gift you are going to give me?" Charlie looked up and asked Babe, still holding the puppy and not wanting to let go.
"Yes, I asked Alan to find it for you. I think this kind of puppy looks like you."
"Thank you. You're so sweet." The boy smiled, his eyes closed. Then he leaned down to kiss the pup on the head once more. "Thanks for choosing him, Capt."
"Yeah, I'm glad you like it," Alan replied casually before adding, "Actually, Jeff helped me choose."
"Is it true?"
"Yes." Alan nodded and directed his gaze into the house. Charlie followed that direction and found that the little boy was standing peering out of the window. Jeff waved his hand lightly in greeting, to which Charlie responded by waving without thinking to send Jeff out because he knew how afraid Jeff was of dogs. "When the dog chased Jeff all over the house, he almost cried."
"Oh, why are you teasing Jeff, hmm?" Charlie bent down to talk to the dog in a friendly voice "Next time you want to play, let's play with Daddy. Don't bother brother Jeff, okay?"
"Daddy?" whispered Alan mockingly.
"Well, I'm a horse rider," said Babe in a small voice with a very annoying expression.
"I was wondering why this place was so strange. I thought you were going to take me to the farm..." Charlie slowly got up, still holding his new friend and not letting go. "Why do we have to come here?"
"I took you to see the dog," Babe answered in a calm voice. "And I took you to see the house too."
"House?"
"Yes"
"This place?" Charlie asked, raising his eyebrows, not quite understanding, "Why do I have to see this?"
"This is our home. Would you like to go around and take a look?"
Charlie froze. The young man blinked his eyes and looked around. To the grass field, garden, and house in front of him as if processing what Babe said. What does it mean?
Our house?
This warm garden house is his and Babe's home?
"Why are you silent?" Babe asked. As Charlie just stood there with a blank expression on his face. He refused to answer anything back. "Don't you like it?"
"No, I really like it," Charlie answered with a confused expression still visible on his face. "How about you?"
"Why?"
"Do you like it?"
"I like it. If I didn't like it, would I buy it?" The older man frowned slightly and turned to look at Alan's face, as if to ask, ~ What's wrong with Charlie ?~ to which Alan could only answer by shrugging his shoulders because he didn't know.
"I only..."
"What?"
"I thought you didn't want to live like this. I thought you would prefer to live in a condo in town." Charlie's answer made Babe wince, before laughing out loud, then walking over to the kid who was thinking so much that he couldn't choose to do something he couldn't do himself. "Are you doing this to please me again?"
"I don't have a specific place I want to live," Babe answered, raising a hand to gently rub the head of the small dog Charlie was holding, "I'm attached to people, not to a house."
"Does that mean you did it for me?"
"Who says it?"
"You said it!"
"I did it for myself," Babe said in a firm voice, before moving to hug Charlie, including the puppy in the tall man's arms. And while the couple were talking, Alan took advantage of the moment to sneak back into the house because he thought his job as a dog guard was finished.
"Can I believe that?"
"Why don't you believe it? "I really did it to pamper myself," Babe answered with a smile. "I want you to get a dog. And if we want to get a dog, we have to have a place for the dog to run around and play, so I bought a house so we can live together and keep the dog."
"No matter how you say it, but this looks like what I want."
"I just do what I want and what makes me happy."
"But..."
"But, do you want to help me?"
After hearing this Charlie didn't dare complain any more. The young man looked at Babe's face. He was silent for a moment, before sighing softly and he nodded with a small smile that said that...if it was really Beb's happiness, he was ready to make him happy too.
"Thank you," Charlie said with a sweet smile that made Babe's heart swell. "I do not know what to say. Saying the word love every day doesn't seem like enough."
"But you really are everything to me, Babe."
"Now I am very happy that I chose to return to you." Charlie loved seeing Babe smile and received every heartfelt word with the same satisfaction he felt. He was sure, apart from this person, no one would make him feel like this again.
"You can always come back." Babe kissed the little puppy's head, then moved on to petting the big puppy's head. He said in his heart that from now on, he would have to work harder and take more responsibility because he had two puppies to look after.
"I will wait to receive you in the same place every day...forever."
That was Babe's solemn promise to Charlie. From now on, it doesn't matter what will happen between them. Babe will be the only person who is ready to give every chance and accept Charlie's every mistake unconditionally. Because, Charlie was the only person who never questioned his identity even once.
"I love you," Charlie answered with an expression like he was crying.
"So, do you have to say it like this?"
"Well, because I love you very much."
"Oh, I know. You tell me every day."
They both laughed together, before Charlie leaned down and kissed Babe on the lips, then he kissed the round head of the new member of his family.
"I'm glad you kissed this dog too. But will you promise that you won't love him more than me?" He said with an expression that he was starting to fear that he would soon become a wasted dog.
"Oh, how can I love a puppy more than my giant one?"
"I'm grateful..."
"I will also love you fairly. I'll make sure I won't let anyone feel offended."
"Damn Charlie!!" Babe looked at the young man displeased because this little creature with a silly face would receive Charlie's love as much as Charlie loved him. "It's okay, you've started."
"Don't say things like that," Charlie said as he rocked the puppy in his arms and hugged it gently as if he was comforting it. "This child will be surprised."
"Child?"
"This... he is our child." The tall alpha smiled with a look of obvious joy on his face. "You should stop being so impatient now."
"Oh..."
"What shall we name this child?"
"Charlie, can you pay attention to me first?"
"Is Bibi good?" Of course, that wasn't the question Charlie asked Babe. But the stupid kid asked about the puppy he was holding. "Papa's name is Charlie. His mother's name is Babe, so our child's name is Bibi."
"Damn Charlie!"
"Oh, it's so noisy in here. Let's go for a walk there, Bibi."
From the perspective of Alan and Jeff standing on the terrace looking at the strange couple. They saw Charlie, who was holding a puppy, walking around accompanied by Babe's loud screams not far away. The picture looked so chaotic that they could only look at it and shake their heads lightly because they felt tired. But even so, they couldn't deny that what seems so happy is the chaos itself.
It's hard to believe that there are two people who are unlucky in their lives, but when we met, they turned everything into this kind of luck.
If everyone could find their own Charlie or Babe, that would be awesome.
