F1 one shots

Las Vegas 2024

Lando's POV:
I felt relieved he was finally done with this whole championship thing. Don't get me wrong I would have absolutely loved to have won it ofcourse but it was really getting on my nerves. The constant questions about my relationship with Max and how I was planning to beat him at every upcoming race. And then the whole thing with the papaya rules and the reporters pestering me about my relationship with Oscar and with the team. I was just fucking done with it.

"Hey man congrats on your fourth. I'm so proud of you." I said to Max, I had gone over him the second I had gotten out of the car. "Thanks man, I honestly can't believe it." Max responded looking a little floaty. Four championships in a row was a huge accomplishment and I would totally get it if he had to let it sink in for a little while.

I threw my arms around Max's shoulders and his arms wrapped themselves around my lower back. "You truly deserve it Max." I whisper in his ear. "Thank you." Max sounded like he was crying. Which was very much understandable. I nearly had to cry as well from relief.

After minutes of hugging Max still hadn't let go of me. I wasn't complaining at all don't get me wrong, but the reporters would certainly annoy us with other questions if they continued to hold on to eachother. "Max you need to let go now people are starting to think things. We can hug more outside of camera view." I said to him. He whined a bit at the thought but let go of me anyway.

I just loved him so much. I loved the way he didn't care, the way he was content just hugging me like that in front of the cameras. The way he just said what he thought no matter what the circumstances were. But above all I loved Max, sweet and kind and thoughtful Max. My Max, my best friend on the grid since we were in karting.

We had had our fair share of tension over the years, especially this year. It wasn't a bad kind of tension. It was just tension. I always suspected it was because of my crush on the older driver. But it could have just been my imagination. After that hug though I felt like he might return my feelings. And what was a better time to find out than now?

Now that the reporters would finally leave us alone. While doing my interviews I was visibly looser than in my previous interviews. It felt relaxing to just know that this wasn't going to be my year. Now Max and I could just live life again. Safe and sound and most importantly together.

After the interviews Max came up to me. "You coming with us to the club?" He asked me. And who was I to refuse the four time world champion? So on the road we went. Me and Max sharing a cab just the two of us. Very shortly into the drive I felt something, Max grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers. From that moment on I was just trying to not hyperventilate.

Max POV:
I was beyond happy. My fourth Championship win in a row. Damn it felt good. Not only did I just secure another title. They would also finally let me and Lando alone. They would stop trying to ruin our relationship. Or I should say friendship, for the time being. I wasn't planning on being just his friend for long.

As we sat next to eachother in the cab heading towards the club I took his hand in mine. I was a little tipsy already but it felt good to show him my affection and love that I had for him. Because I could not imagine my life without him. I can't live without him.

The reporters had been driving me crazy with all these questions about our friendship, when all I wanted was for them to ask about my relationship. Because that is what I wanted, I wanted him to be my boyfriend. Grabbing his hand was just the first step in declaring that.

When we arrived at the club the bar was our first destination. We went over to friends to speak to them and we just had a fantastic night. Eventually we both stopped drinking, though we were still tipsy while the night was slowly ending.

"Will you have this last dance with me Mr. Norris?" I ask Lando. The club was still very packed. It was just all of the f1 teams and drivers that had already left. Lando looks at me with wide eyes. "I'd love to have this dance Mr. World champion." I take his hand and spin him around. We stumble over to the dance floor without any gracious bone in our body. But we are having fun and that's what matters.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and he wrapped his arms around my neck. We slowly danced in a rhythm of our own. The club was still playing normal club music but we didn't care. I was just happy I got to be myself unapologetically. I'm happy to just hold Lando and to have him here with me. Who cares if there are phones here, who cares if anyone is filming this. I want this so why shouldn't I do it.

Lando yawned. "Hey are you okay?" I ask him worriedly. He smiles at that. "Don't worry Maxie I'm just a bit tired." I nod my head. "So it's time to go then?" We have stopped dancing at this point and are just looking at eachother still in our embrace. It's a look of love, or I'm just completely delusional.

"Can't I just come with you to your hotelroom?" Lando asks. "I just don't want to be alone right now. To be fully honest I don't want to leave you yet. I'm enjoying  together." I am surprised at Lando's words but I also loved hearing them. "Ofcourse you can come with me. I'm not letting go of you yet Mr. Future world champion." Even with the flickering lights of the club I could see the blush on his face.

When we arrived in my hotelroom we were both relatively sober. Which was a good thing because I really needed Lando to remember what I was going to say. I was officially going to declare my love for him. Tonight was the night.

Lando had made himself comfortable in some of my spare chlothes and was currently sprawled out on the bed looking up at the ceiling. He looked absolutely adorable. I was never letting this man go. He was made to be mine I was sure of it. So I went to sit on the bed with him and got ready to pour my heart out.

"Lando can I talk to you about something?" I ask softly. He sits up to meet my eyes. "Ofcourse what is it?" He says equally soft to match the tone of the conversation. "I need to get this out so please don't interrupt me." Lando nods his head in agreement so I continue talking.

"These past few months have been hard for me. I didn't like the way that all those people tried to put us against eachother and tried to ruin our relationship. I could feel the tension between us even if there shouldn't have been any tension at all. I am beyond relieved that this is over now. What I truly want to say though is that... I love you Lando. As way more than a friend. And I was hoping that maybe you loved me too?" Finally all that I wanted to say was out there. Now it was all up to Lando.

"Max, I felt the same way. About the reporters and the relief all of it. I am so proud of you and you truly deserve the championship this year. And I also feel the same way about you. I love you Max and I have for a good while." Lando says with tears in his eyes. I am quick to wipe them away.

Then I lean forward. "Can I kiss you?" Lando doesn't respond he just puts his lips on mine. He tastes like heaven. This kiss was the best kiss I have ever had in my life. Lando slowly moves us so we are lying down, all while keeping his lips on mine. He swipes his tongue past my lips asking for entry which I very obviously grant him.

We both know it is not a leading kiss, we are not going any further than kissing tonight. This night was about the love we have for eachother about finally being able to fully be ourselves and to express ourselves. Finally we can just be happy.

We made out until we got so tired that we had to break apart to yawn. Which is when we decided to get some well deserved rest. Lando curled up into me without hesitation. "I love you Max." He whispered softly. I held him a little tighter. "I love you too Lando.

3 chapters in a row I have officially lost my mind.

I don't actually have any opinions about Norstappen, I don't know if they would be a good ship or not.

Hope you all liked it!

With love,
