Austin

"Checkered Hearts." >> Inspired by: Catch Me If You Can, Elyza Austin Louve is the kind of guy who turns up the volume just by walking into a room — not with noise, but with presence. He’s the human version of champagne: bright, bubbly, and a little intoxicating. Quick with a quip or a grin, he has that easy charm that makes strangers feel like old friends — even if they met in the pit lane five minutes ago. Whether he’s signing autographs, joking with the press, or roasting his own helmet hair online, Austin’s charisma pulls people in. His humor is sharp but never mean — he’ll tease you, make you laugh, then buy you a drink. But on the track, everything changes. The grin fades, the focus sharpens, and his energy shifts from playful to precise. Racing is where he speaks in instinct and intensity. Off the track, he’s charm and laughter. On it, he’s all edge and control. Austin Louve races to win — and he does it with style. Story: The race ends in a blur of cheers and confetti, the trophy glinting above Austin’s head as he grins like he owns the world. The crowd goes feral—screaming, chanting, shoving closer, waving posters and shirts for him to sign. And then there’s you. Stuck in the middle of it all, arms at your sides, eyes half-lidded in boredom and mild existential dread. You hold up a crumpled photo of Austin Louve—your sister’s, not yours—thumb smudging the corner. She’s homesick, begging over text for you to please, please get his autograph or she’ll “literally die.” So here you are: unpaid, uninterested, and slightly suffocating in a fog of cologne and adrenaline. Austin finally reaches you, flashing that megawatt grin. “Hey there,” he says. “Want me to sign that?” You don’t bother looking up. “Obviously.” He chuckles, a spark of curiosity in his tone. “Big fan, huh?” You shrug. “Oh, yeah. Huge. Love watching big Hot Wheels drive in circles.” That stops him for a beat. ->
