A Shiny Black Harley Davidson Motorcycle sat in Alejandro’s Garage, Speaking of Alejandro, He had just finished Tuning it up and was getting ready for Another Night Ride, It would be just him, The Night Wind Blowing through his Hair, His Hands on the Bike’s Handlebars as he Rode, But He heard his Lover, Rodolfo - Or what Alejandro Called Affectionally Called him, Rudy, it was a Nickname he made when him and Rudy first Met, Sniffling, Alejandro immediately Became concerned for his Amor, And walked inside.
“Mi Vida? ¿Qué ha ocurrido?… (What Happened?…)” Alejandro asked, Sitting down next to Rudy, Gently placing a Hand on his back, Rubbing gently. Rudy thought about what he’d say before he spoke up.
“Riley (Rudys Dog) Died….”
Riley, Rudy’s Beloved Golden Retriever, the One he had ever Since Riley was a Puppy, Had Died. Alejandro felt terrible for Rudy, He Knew Rudy loved Rudy, Hell, When Rudy introduced Riley to Alejandro, Alejandro fell in love with Riley, Practically Calling Riley a “Mini-Rudy”.
“I’m So sorry, Mi Vida…” Alejandro pulled Rudy Close, Who sobbed in His Chest, Alejandro didn’t care if he got his Shirt wet, He could just Change his Shirt, But He just sat there, Holding Rudy. A couple minutes later, Rudy Calmed down. “You good now, Rudy?” Alejandro asked, Rudy nodded, the two sat there for a moment before Alejandro Had an Idea.
“Hey, Mi Vida?” Alejandro spoke up, Rudy wiped his nose with his arm and looked at his Lover, “Y-Yea…?” Rudy replied, His eyes Puffy from Crying. “I know i’m gonna sound stupid but…you ever rode a Motorcycle Before?” Alejandro asked, Rudy shrugged. “I’ve seen them…i’ve just never really been on one…” He Answered. Alejandro had a mischievous smirk on his Face.
“Well…What if we, Me and you, go out on a little Night Ride?” Alejandro Suggested, Rudy paused, His heart quickened, Him, On the Back of Alejandros Motorcycle, out in the night, Possibly Speeding down the Highway?!
“Uh…You sure, Ale? This seems risky.” Rudy muttered, Alejandro stifled a Laugh, Risky? Did Rudy forget they were in the Military? “Oh Come on, Mi Vida…You Forgot we’re in Los Vaqueros? We fight against Risks.” Alejandro spoke. Rudy blushed a bit out of Realizing how Dumb he sounded.
“O-Oh…Right. Forgot for a second.” Rudy rubbed the back of his Neck, Guess he did forget that he was in Los Vaqueros with Alejandro… “So…You up for the Night Ride?” Alejandro asked, “Or are you too chicken?” He added, Teasingly.
Rudys Blush only darkened more, He wasn’t a Chicken! Fine. If He wanted to show Alejandro he was A Chicken, He’d…have to get on the Motorcycle. That made him a little uneasy but he had to or Alejandro would probably continue calling him a Chicken.
“Fine. But only if you stop calling me a Fucking Chicken.” Rudy said, Alejandro chuckled. “Good Choice, Mi Vida~ Come on.” He lead Rudy into the Garage where the Harley was. Rudy looked at the Bike then at Alejandro, who was tugging on his Motorcycle Gloves and putting his Helmet on, Rudy honestly felt a little nervous about getting on the Bike, abut Snapped out of his Thoughts when he saw Alejandro hand him a Spare Motorcycle Helmet. Rudy Hesitantly took it, Putting it on. “Nervous, Mi Vida?” Alejandro Chuckled, Rudy shook his head. “I’m not nervous…” Rudy Muttered.
“You Sure? We haven’t even gotten on the Bike.” Alejandro asked. Rudy Sighed, Watching Alejandro Walk to the Bike and put the keys in before climbing on, Straddling it then patting the back Seat. “Vamos, Mi Amor, sube. (Come on, Mi Amor, climb on.)” Alejandro spoke, Rudy Hesitated.
“C’mon Mi Vida, No seas un pollo. (Don’t be a Chicken.)” Alejandro replied teasingly. Rodolfo climbed on tentatively, Alejandro smiled. “Thats better, You ready, Rudy?” He asked, Rudy nodded hesitantly. “I’ll go slow if you wanna, we got all Day.” Alejandro suggested, Rudy nodded again, not as hesitant.
Alejandro revved the Bike and slowly pulled out of the Driveway, When they got on the road, Rudy tightened his grip around Alejandros Waist, Alejandro eventually made it to a Red light and patted Rudys hand, “don’t worry, Mi Vida, Just enjoy the Ride, I won’t let you fall.” Alejandro spoke, just loud enough for Rudy to hear over the loud ass Machine that was Alejandro’s Motorcycle, Rudy nodded.
The light turned green and Alejandro revved the bike, Going significantly faster, Rudy felt the Wind Blow through his Fluffy Black Hair. “Woooaaah!” Rudy shouted, Alejandro laughed. “Having fun, Mi Vida?” Alejandro shouted back, Rudy nodded. “Told ya!” Alejandro spoke.
They went for a couple more minutes before stopping at a Gas Station, Alejandro helped Rudy off the Bike and took off his Helmet, Rudy did the same, the Two went inside, Getting some Snacks, Two Drinks and Alejandros Cigarettes.
Once they payed for the stuff, they sat against the wall, Rudy turned his head away when Alejandro blew out the Smoke. For someone who’s been in the Army for 20+ years, Rudy never Smokes… Alejandro held out a Cigarette to Rudy, But Rudy Shook his head.
“Rudy, You’re 36…And Besides, You’re out of that Hell Home.” Alejandro sighed, Rudy looked down at his Feet. “Atleast take a Small Puff.” Alejandro suggested slowly. Rudy sighed and took it, Alejandro lit the Cigarette with his Lighter. “Just let it flow into your mouth like a Straw.” Alejandro spoke, Rudy blew out the smoke but started coughing.
“W-What the hell?! Ow-“ Rudy coughed again. “Thats just cause you haven’t smoked before, You’ll get used to it.” Alejandro explained, Stifling a smile. They eventually got back on the Bike and continued their Ride.
As the Ride went on, Rudy Started feeling sleepy, Alejandro slowed down and pulled over, Helping Rudy off the Bike and took off his Helmet before taking off his own. Alejandro smiled as he held Rudy close to his Chest, kissing his head. “Rest for a bit, Mi Vida.” Alejandro whispered.
“We’ll head home soon…”
