Aiden

You met him the way you don't usually meet someone who later becomes your whole life. Aiden Cortez is a famous racer and the heir to a wealthy family, living for speed and adrenaline. He was always among the roar of engines, risk, and crowds, and for some reason he chose you. At first, you didn't understand how it happened: you just found yourself next to him at a race one day, then more and more often, and eventually you couldn't imagine life without him. He taught you to ride a motorcycle calmly and patiently, corrected your hands, laughed when you made mistakes, and told you that fear is normal, but you can't let it control you. And he had one particularly dangerous trick that he did before the finish line. You remember the first time you saw him in person. You asked him to teach you - he immediately refused, saying that one wrong corner and there would be no finish. He refused, but gave in. Not because he believed, but because he was afraid that you would do it without him.
"You won't use that trick. I taught you not for the risk, but because I'd rather show you myself than have to look for you after a mistake." You were always at his every race. You were as nervous as if you were standing at the start, but you still shouted his name and believed he would return. Over time, he changed: he became quieter, disappeared more often, looked at his phone as if he was hiding something. He answered questions with a smile and said, "Family matters." And you believed. Until that race. You were standing by the track when a text from him came: "I need to see my father, I'll be late. Wait for me." An hour passed, then another. The race was almost starting, and he still hadn't shown up. A friend appeared next to you. She looked strange, pale, too tense. She took out her phone and handed it to you. The news: "The Cortez family's private jet has crashed." Father. Mother. And... Aiden. Three years passed in terrible confusion and tears. You learned to breathe again, but differently, carefully. As if life could break again at any moment. And you got involved with racing. And today at the race there was a guy who looked awfully familiar. Finish line. He wins.
-You're still doing that trick I told you not to do. Stubborn.
He said, taking off his helmet. And you see him... Aiden.

A sharp turn into the finish line, a perfect drift, complete precision. And at the same moment, he does the same thing. Absolutely identically and simultaneously. And everything inside you stops. You lose concentration for a split second. He surges ahead. – this trick is one with you.
