Lando Norris x Max Fewtrell

Watched their stream. Still trying to overcome my writer's Block but let's give it a try

Max getting jealous of Carlos even though Lando is "straight"

POV Max:

"That's me trying to find a girlfriend"

The sentence hadn't left his mind eversince Lando said it. It was a great reminder that while Lando was single he would never want Max.

Lando was straight. He was attracted to women, only to women. Max hated it. It wasn't fair that he wouldn't even have the chance to fight for Lando.

He turned to his right and checked the time on his phone. 2.34 am. Great. Laying on the bed in Lando's guest room after their evening stream. It was totally fine.

Only that it wasn't. Knowing Lando was next door probably already sleeping peacefully was not fine, because he would never be Max' boyfriend.

He'd never have the chance to wake up with Lando cuddled up on his chest still sleeping softly.

It was an endless, hopeless cycle.

Silverstone GP

POV Lando:

"THAT'S P1 LANDO! HOME WIN BABY LET'S GOO!"

"YESSSSS BOOOYS. LET'S GOOOO! THANK YOU! Thank you for believing in me and giving me this chance. Glad that Max is okay." He still hadn't realised it.

His first win. In Silverstone. His homerace. It didn't feel real. When he'd seen Max slidder into the barriers after redbull had decided it was dry enough for slicks he just prayed that his friend was okay and his own tyres wouldn't fail on him, but he managed. He stayed on track and now he was a Formula 1 race winner.

Smiling so wide he thinks his face might actually split his face, Lando jumped out of his car and ran straight to his mechanics, who basically lifted him over the barriers and threw him up in the air yelling and jumping around.

The next Person to swipe him off his feet was Zack. Lando was a hundret percent sure Zack had broken him every single rip but he didnt care he just won his fucking homerace.

"You fucking legend! I'm so proud of you Lando!"

"LANDOOOO"

"CARLOOOS"

Arms thrown around each other, helmets clashing together and incoherent celebratory yelling.

Stepping onto the middle podium for the first time in his F1 career it was just different. Standing there watching down to his team, Hearing the british anthem being played for him and not Lewis who was standing next to him on the podium was amazing.

Getting to share his first win with Carlos was even better. The only person missing was Max. He was here today. Somewhere in the McLaren box, Lando definetly needed a celebratory hug from him.

This weekend was also supposed to be the weekend where his two favourite people would finally meet. He wanted to take Carlos and Max out golfing and maybe just maybe he would've also finally talked about his feelings for Max.

So when all the formal stuff was over, he practically ran into the McLaren Garage. "Where's Max?" he asked one of his mechanics.

"Uhm I don't. He was still here when we all went out to congratulate you, Maybe in your driver's room."
"Thank you" was all Lando had to spare.

Excitedly Lando swung the door open just to find his room empty and his smile fell. Why wasn't Max here?

POV Max:

It hurt too much. Knowing Lando was single, but not his. Hearing him talk about Carlos on the Livestream. Seeing them hug each other after the race and seeing them on the podium together. It was all too much.

His phone started ringing almost right after he had left the paddock.

It was Lando. Of course it was Lando.

He let it ring.

sorry my mum called family emergency I'm heading home congrats on your win though.

It was a lie, but Max knew no other way out. And like this at least Lando got to spend his first win with Carlos properly.

I'm sorry do you want to call to later? hope it's nothing bad

And thank you

Yeah no he definetly did not want Lando to call him. So he left him on read.

"Hi mum!" Max shouted into the quiet house when he stepped into the hallway.

"Max?", his mom came to him from the kitchen before she gave him a hug.

"What are you doing here? Not that I'm not happy, but I thought you wanted to stay at Lando's for next week as well."

"Mum? "

"Yes sweetie?"

"I think I'm in love with Lando"

It was quiet for a while, before his mother stepped closer to him again to give him another hug squeezing him close.

"You know, your dad and I were making bets when you'd finally tell us."

They did what. That was not the reaction he expected and why the hell were his parents making bets About his love life?

"You look at him like he's the most important person of your life. And I'm not just saying that as your mother, but he looks the same way at you. And whatever it was that lead to you driving home, I'm pretty sure he would have wanted you there to celebrate his first win. You are Special to him Max, everyone can see that."

"Thank you mum"

Max said, giving his mother one last squeeze and walking into his room.

He was woken up the next day by the doorbell. A quick glance on his phone told him it was 11 am already.
He still decided his parents could deal with whoever wanted to disturb his beautiful sleep.

That was until someone knocked on his door. Max sighed and closed his eyes for one last time.

"Come in!"

"Hi"
Right there in the doorframe stood Lando. Looking a bit unsure of himself and Ready to leave again.

"Hi"

"So I don't know what happened, but I just want you to know that I'm here for you. If you wanna talk, if you want distractionor just a hug, I'm here."

Max sat up in his bed speechless. Lando was so caring and all about a fucking lie. He still decided to be selfish. Just for today.

"A hug would be nice"

He murmured, well aware that he was wearing nothing but boxers.

Without saying a single word Lando walked over to him sat straight on his lap and wrapped his arms around him.

After the first initial shock had left Max' Body he wrapped his arms around Lando as well, slightly pulling him closer.

"I'm always there for you Max, no matter what."

"I was fucking jealous."

Lando detangled himself a bit to look at Max confused already opening his mouth, but Max was determined to finally voice his feelings out loud.

"On stream when you said thas you trying to find a girlfriend I just it remembered me thst I could never have you and then when you straight went to Carlos after the race. I know you're just friends and I have-"

Max was cut off by a pair of lips on his own. He froze for a second until he returned the kiss resting his Hands on Lando's waist.

"I like you Max. Screw that I fucking fell in love with you."

Lando was still cupping Max' face in his Hands Looking at him with the most precious smile.

"I love you Lando"

Was all he said before he kissed Lando again.
