    Summary

    Katsuki Bakugo, or Ground Zero to the racing world, gets stranded in a small town in Arizona after a reckless driver runs into him. With his agent avoiding his calls and no way to pay for his car repairs, he's forced to pick up a job at the diner. Work is slow, and the days drag by even slower. He spends his time driving on dirt roads outside city limits in borrowed cars and picking fights with energetic blonds. Late night drives, spilled drinks, and penny arcades introduce him to a slower way of life, making him question the merits of his fast-paced career.

    As the days drag on, Katsuki starts to worry about what he'll find when he returns home. Has his coach found someone new to replace him? Will he be forgotten after a few months of radio silence? Why isn't his agent returning his calls?

    If only the redheaded mechanic would stop looking at him like he had something to offer, he could focus on getting the hell out of this strange town.

    Or: A cars AU in which Katsuki is a racecar driver and Kirishima is a mechanic.
