"This little thing isn't going to try to bite me, is it?" Gage muttered uncertainly, tensely staring at the rodent that was a few meters away.

Turns out that after "defeating" that awesome and trouble-filled car called "Rev", Team Hot Wheels decided to take a break. That's why you and Gage decided to have a sleepover, because Gage had unintentionally left you aside when he had to fulfill his now duty, but obviously you didn't know about that whole thing.

For that reason, now you found yourself on a quiet night in your room, Gage sitting on your bed restless and insecure, since he had completely forgotten that you happened to have a small hamster as a pet, something that Gage was DEFINITELY afraid of, even though they were little things smaller than him.

But now, you had convinced him to overcome his fear a little, having the idea of bringing it a little closer and having him touch the rodent, having his arms outstretched to keep his distance.

"Just... move it away a little, I don't want to touch it at all" he continued, before letting out the most "manly" scream you've ever heard when he finally had the little hamster in one of the palms of his hands.
