ONE

"You have no idea how much I love you."

Tsung Su grinned in happiness at his best friend as his dark eyes fell upon a signed autograph from one of his favorite actors, which his best friend had managed to get for him.

His best friend, who was currently sitting behind the Asian boy, rolled his eyes with a smirk upon his face, knowing that he had said the exact same thing every single time that he had gotten autographs for him, from the people that he worked with.

Denzel Warren was used to it, which sounded awful and as if he was bragging about his success as an actor, but he wasn't. He was so grateful for every single opportunity that he was given throughout his life and he would never take them for granted.

The most recent actor who had given him their autograph for his best friend, was a very well known one, known as Mark Ruffalo.

Tsung had always been a very big fan of the Avengers movies, where Mark Ruffalo portrayed Bruce Banner, otherwise known as Hulk. Tsung had always pretended that he was the Hulk when he was a child, so to him, this autograph was way better than all of the others that he had.

"Do you love me enough to give me a kiss?"

Denzel Warren grinned as he blew air kisses to his best friend, the pair having an inside joke which nobody else understood but them.

"I love you Denzel!"

Tsung Su lunged at his best friend, his hands grabbing a hold of the Warren boys face, almost managing to kiss him until Denzel dodged at the last second, causing the pair to headbutt one another by accident.

"OW!"

The duo wheezed, water leaking from their eyes from how hard they were laughing, their hands clutching at their foreheads from where they had made contact with one another.

Denzel loved Tsung.

He was his best friend since he was a child, just a young naive boy wanting to become a movie star and live up to the name that his mother had given him, naming him after a successful actor, Denzel Washington. Tsung never teased him for it, in fact he always supported him and would try his best to promote his best friends movies as much as he could.

He didn't have a lot of social media followers, three hundred and ninety four to be precise, but Tsung would promote Denzel's movies and wouldn't stop until every single one of those had seen each and every one of the films that his best friend was in.

Tsung's little brother always told his school friends about Denzel and how awesome he was, especially when the Warren boy would get him the best gifts for his birthday and would always be with the Su's for New Years.

"When are you flying out for the next project?"

Tsung questioned the boy beside him, noticing how his face immediately lit up as if he had exciting news for him.

"I'm not. I've cleared a few weeks in my schedule so I'm gonna chill and see my friends." Denzel smiled from ear to ear, noticing the excitement on the face of his Taiwanese best friend.

"You mean that you're going to spend time with Lewis Hamilton? Can I get his autograph?" Tsung bounced up and down in excitement, the thought of having the seven time Formula One world Champion's autograph being amazing.

"Hell no! You're coming with me, I've already bought three tickets."

"Three? Do I have to bring him with us?" Tsung released a groan at the thought of having to bring his little brother along with them.

His brother, Guang, had ADHD and was very hyperactive and energetic. He knew that his brother would never shut up and would scream every single time that he saw something cool, and since his brother was twelve years old, he was going to be screaming at a lot of cool things.

Whereas Tsung himself, would be screaming as soon as he saw Lewis Hamilton, until he most likely fainted.

"Yes! I'll never hear the end of it if we don't bring him along. Your mom will kill me!" Denzel chuckled, wrinkles forming around his eyes from how bright his smile was.

"Since when were you scared of my mom?"

"Since she convinced my mom to ground me for a month!" The Warren boy shook his head from side to side. "I missed half a season of filming The Walking Dead!"

"True." Tsung giggled, remembering it like it was yesterday. "And it was the best half a season of the show too, because your stupid face wasn't there."

"Hang on, let me call your brother and let him know that he's coming with me to the race and he can bring a friend with him."

"Wait, no I'm sorry! Please don't do this! Don't punish me like this!"

"Too late dumbass!"

"I'm flying!"

Guang Su screamed in happiness as he was sat on the back of famous actor Denzel Warren, who was his brothers best friend, with the actor running as fast as he could with the young boy on his back.

The trio that was Guang, Denzel and Tsung, had just arrived at a Formula One race in Miami, and the twelve year old was incredibly overwhelmed by everything going on around him, but he was so happy to be there.

He couldn't believe that Denzel had got them passes to walk through the paddock, and he also knew that it would mean meeting quite a few drivers on the grid.

The first one to greet them was none other than a famous French man, Pierre Gasly.

"Bonjour, Den."

Pierre Gasly greeted his friend with a fist bump, hearing a gasp of surprise coming from the young boy on his back, with the French man giving him a small wave, which he also gave to the other boy standing beside Denzel.

"Bonjour, Essence." Denzel spoke with a smile upon his face, happy to see his friend after having been very busy with work and filming which meant that he hadn't been able to spend time with anybody that he was close with.

But now he had the time, and he was going to make sure that he spent time with the people that he cared about.

"Hi! Oh my god, you're so awesome!"

Guang Su squealed in happiness, jumping off Denzel's back so that he could charge in to the Formula One driver, who was taken by surprise at how the Taiwanese boy barrelled in to him.

Tsung immediately lunged forwards to grab his brothers arm, pulling him off the Gasly man who could only laugh in amusement.

"You can't do that! Apologise!"

"I'm sorry, I just got excited." Guang apologised to the French racing driver, seeing him shake his hand nonchantly.

"Don't worry about it. A friend of Denzel is a friend of me... just maybe give me some warning next time." Pierre laughed, smiling at the two Asian boys who shot their heads towards their best friend, who just rolled his dark eyes.

"Is he more awesome than me?" Denzel questioned the youngest Su brother, seeing the twelve year old shake his head wildly from side to side, looking as if he was going to break his neck at any moment.

"No! Nobody is more awesome than you! You got me Ryan Gosling's autograph!" Guang grinned as he hugged his brothers best friend, happily noticing how he immediately responded, hugging him back.

"Well, I can't beat that. My autograph is nothing compared to Ryan Gosling." Pierre smiled, loving seeing Denzel surrounded by his lifelong friends.

"At least you're honest about it." The American boy teased his friend, hearing a fake gasp of offence leave the French man's lips.

"Asticot!"
