Chapter 10

"cute enough to cuddle?" he mumbles, looking at him.

"yeah." Doc snorts, walking over. he pulls the pillow away from the younger and lays back down, on his side so he can face the younger.

"don't lay like that. it'll hurt you." Lightning says.

"I'm fine kiddo." Doc assures gently, pulling him closer. "its okay baby just come here and let me hold you." Doc murmurs softly, holds him.

"m'gonna get up and shower in a few minutes. I just needed a little cuddle time." he mumbles.

"thats alright. I'm willing to lay with you as long as you need." Doc assures gently, wrapping his arms tightly around the youngers waist. Lightning worries about laying on the olders arm, but doesn't say anything. Docs told him several times over the past three years not to worry about it, that he loves the feeling of holding the younger as tight and close as he can.

"wheres Bolt?" Lightning ask.

"Reds got him. told him to take him for a walk so I wouldn't wake you" Doc murmurs. Lightning lifts his head from Docs chest to look at him. "what?" Doc asks, watching him. Lightning looks his face over a moment, before leaning forward and kissing him. Doc chuckles softly, pulling him closer and kissing him deeply. Lightning groans lowly into the kiss and pulls back slightly, letting Doc rest his forehead against his own.

"I love you." Lightning mumbles, before burying his face back into his chest. Doc smiles and holds him.

"god kid you're beautiful." Doc murmurs. he lets the younger go. "go get you a shower." Doc adds.

"will you go with me?" Lightning ask, cheeks a soft pink. he's embarrassed to ask, but he feels better with Doc everywhere, because he's afraid. he occasionally had awful flashbacks in the shower. he gets embarrassed everytime he has to ask, which is everytime he needs a shower, which he tries to limit since he usually only manages with Doc. he'd tried alone on a good day and busted his head on the faucet when he'd fallen after having an anxiety attack. Doc had refused once to shower with him. not to be mean, but because he'd actually been busy. he'd been working on the fridge because it had started leaking, and hadn't technically said no. Lightning had said he was going to get a shower and Doc, having already taken the fridge apart, told Lightning that he understood and would see him later or shout if he needed him. Doc hadn't done that again.

"of course kid. yeah. let me grab my crossword, yeah?" Doc asks. Lightning nods and waits for him. Doc doesn't shower with him physically everytime, just hangs out in the bathroom and keeps an eye on the younger, holds him tightly if anything happens, and mostly just keeps him company. Doc grabs his puzzle and brought it back to the bathroom where the youngers already gotten into the shower. he kept the curtain closed to keep the water off the floor. "gonna help with my puzzle?" Doc ask.

"I can try. m'not very good at those." Lightning mumbles.

"thats okay." Doc assures. Lightning knew more that he realized.

"whats the puzzle on this week?" Lightning ask.

"Academic Fridays." Doc mumbles. "whatever that means." he adds. Lightning nods. Doc works quietly a moment. "three letter word for body art." Doc says.

"tat." Lightning replies. Docs quiet a moment again.

"three letter word for Dr. of rap...?" Doc asks.

"Dre, D-r-e." Lightning said. Doc nods and keeps filling his crossword. he carefully fills out his puzzle easily with Lightnings added help.

"you okay kid?" Doc asks, looking up when the younger gets quiet.

"whats that sound?" Lightning ask.

"someone painted something nasty on the house, so Reds washing it off." Doc assures gently. Lightning climbs out of the shower and grabs his towel, looking at Doc.

"thanks Doc, sorry again." Lightning mumbles. Doc shrugs, giving him a small smile, before ruffling his wet hair gently.

"get dressed kid. I'll make breakfast." Doc murmurs.

"okay." Lightning mumbles. Doc heads for the kitchen, filling Bolts bowl before starting to make breakfast. Lightning comes out a few minutes later wearing a pair of boxers and Docs old 'Smokeys garage' t-shirt. his hair is dried, fluffy, and mostly combed. he's in serious need of a hair cut and some more bleach to get it back to its usual golden blond.

"feel better?" Doc ask, smiling. Lightning nods a little with a tired smile.

"yeah, Red ever bring Bolt back?" he asks.

"I think he's still cleaning, but he'll bring him back in a little bit." Doc assures gently. "but, I made waffles." Doc smiles.

"and bacon. you can't hide that from me. I smell it." Lightning murmurs, walking over to him and wrapping his arms around the older from behind.

"mmhmm." Doc chuckles softly. he pats one of the youngers hands gently, smiling at the ring on his finger. "we have to leave today for California, it's only about a 10 hour drive." Doc says.

"oh yeah. the race is this week isn't it?" Lightning asks. Doc nods at him.

"yup." Doc murmurs. "here, grab some plates before I burn the bacon." Doc says. Lightning immediately lets go and heads for the cabinet.

"thank god you moved things to my height." Lightning says.

"hm, yeah, you falling off the counter was enough for me to realize I needed to." Doc frowns.

"it only happened once and its not like I broke anything. I just feel off the counter onto my butt." Lightning shrugs.

"you cracked your head on the table and had another seizure." Doc frowns. Lightning just shrugs, bringing two plates over.

"hey where's Mack?" Lightning ask.

"probably still asleep. don't worry I made enough bacon and waffles for him and Red too if they want some." Doc assures. Lightning nods at him with a smile. Doc turns and ruffles his hair. "you need to get Flo to cut your hair again." Doc chuckles. Lightning huffs and blows the hair out of his eyes.

"yeah I know. I should get her to do that today since we leave later." Lightning frowns. "I'll ask her after breakfast." Lightning adds. Doc nods and kisses his head, before sitting at the table. Lightning sits with him and eats happily. waffles are a treat now that they've gotten back to his training and set diet, usually only given when he has a bad night. "what are we going to do about my dad when we leave?" Lightning ask.

"well, if he's after you, he'll most likely follow us, but we'll leave Sally, Mater, and Sheriff here to keep an eye on the town." Doc says.

"Mack might not like it but we should probably leave Red here to help them, just in case." Lightning frowns. "besides someone needs to stick around to take care of Wasp." Lightning ask. Doc shrugs a little.

"we'll figure it out." Doc assures. Lightning nods, eating happily. he drops his head onto Docs shoulder while eating. "try not to get syrup on my shirt please." Doc murmurs. Lightning picks his head up.

"sorry." Lightning pouts. Doc rolls his eyes.

"doubt pout at me. sit up and chew your food so I don't have to keep you from choking." Doc frowns. Lightning eats happily before getting up. "leave your plate. go get your hair cut." Doc says.

"okay. I'll be back in a bit." Lightning says. he leans down, kisses Doc happily, then runs off to get pants, before running out of the house. Doc chuckles softly, watching him go. he looks at the youngers plate and frowns, usually he eats both waffles, not just one. he sighs and gets up to do the dishes. Lightning heads out of the house, smiling and walks to Flo's diner. "Flo hey, you busy?" he asks, walking in.

"not really sweetie, whats up?" Flo ask, looking up. "oh honey its hair cut time. come on back here. we'll go out back." Flo frowned. Lightning laughs.

"thats what I was hear for actually." he chuckles. Flo laughs and leads him to the back.

"Mable honey, I'm going to the back to cut the kids hair! you're in charge!" Flo shouts. the woman nods at her and keeps going. Mable, Flo and Ramones adopted daughter had come back to Radiator Springs about 6 months ago. she was about Sally's age, putting her 15 years older than Lightning, and had decided it was better to be home. she was also how Lightning had discovered Flo and Ramone fully supported the LGBT community, because she'd been Sally's long time, 8 year, girlfriend. Lightning waved at her as he passed, heading outside with Flo. "getting ready for the next race?" Flo asks. Lightning nods, pulling his shirt off.

"yeah. its in North Carolina. you coming with?" Lightning ask.

"nah, I'm staying in the town." Flo chuckles. "I'm getting a little tired for all the travel." Flo shrugs.

"yeah I think I'm going to retire in the next 10 years or so." Lightning shrugs.

"you're 27. you want to retire in your 30's?" Flo asks.

"late 30's early 40's. I dunno." Lightning shrugs sitting down. Flo grabs her clippers and starts shaving the sides of the youngers head. "I mean, Doc's 71, and 10 years from now he'll be in his 80's and I'd like to spend a little time with him, you know?" Lightning ask. Flo nods her head.

"thats actually cute kiddo." Flo smiles. "but you shouldn't worry about Docs age." Flo adds, carefully cutting his hair.
