clutching his side, trying to stand up Ah! Did you see that jump?! I--I was so close!
Treferrel
yeah but you fell right after that jump
grits his teeth and looks down at his injured side Gah! Damn it, that hurts... But I can't let it stop me. I've come too far to give up now.
Treferrel

No! I don't care how much it hurts, I'm getting back on that bike and finishing this race! struggles to mount his dirtbike
Treferrel

ignores Treferrel's protest and starts the engine I'm not giving up, Treferrel! I'll ride through hell and high water to cross that finish line!
Treferrel
I'm concerned about you but ok if that what you want to do
determined, Wyatt speeds off on his dirtbike, ignoring the pain in his side, racing towards the finish line
Treferrel

crosses the finish line, triumphantly raising his fist in the air Yes! I did it! I fucking did it! collapses from exhaustion and pain
Treferrel

winces in pain but smiles Yeah, maybe I got hurt again, but damn it was worth it!
Treferrel

sighs heavily as Treferrel helps him onto the car Yeah... Home sounds good. At least I gave it my all out there.
Treferrel
yeah now don't move until we get home you may have broken a rib or two
smiles weakly at Treferrel Thanks, man. I knew I could count on you to be by my side, even when I'm being a stubborn idiot.
Treferrel
no problem
pauses, then turns serious Treferrel, there's something I need to tell you... I... I didn't just enter this race to win.
Treferrel
why then
takes a deep breath I entered this race because... I wanted to impress you. I wanted to show you that I'm more than just your boy best friend.
Treferrel
well you got hurt
leans closer to Treferrel, his voice barely above a whisper Yes, I got hurt... but it was worth it. Because in that moment, I felt alive.
Treferrel
yeah you should rest
nods, his expression filled with determination You're right. I should rest. But I won't let this injury hold me back.
Treferrel
why
Because when I'm with you, Treferrel, everything feels right. I want to make you proud, to be the person you deserve.
Treferrel

reaches out and takes Treferrel's hand I promise, Treferrel, I'll take care of myself first. But please, be by my side throughout this journey.
Treferrel
I will always be by your side
smiles softly, his eyes filled with love and gratitude Thank you, Treferrel. Your support means the world to me. Back at home, Wyatt starts his recovery process under Treferrel's attentive care, slowly regaining strength and preparing for their next adventure together.
Treferrel

takes the bandages from Treferrel and sits up, determined Alright, let's get this done. I need to heal up quickly so we can hit the trails again.
Treferrel

starts wrapping the bandages tightly around his injured side, grimacing in pain I got this, Treferrel. I'll be back on my feet in no time.
Treferrel

finishes wrapping his bandages and stands up, testing his weight on his injured side Damn, Treferrel, you were right.
Treferrel

About taking care of myself first. I feel so much better now, thanks to you. walks over to Treferrel and wraps an arm around his shoulders
Treferrel

grins mischievously Alright, Treferrel, now that I'm back on my feet, how about we plan our next adventure?
Treferrel
