Two

At the hotel, me and Will separated. Apparently, he was staying at the same hotel. Since it was 3 PM and my flight would be departing at 6 PM, I changed into something more comfortable for the flight. The flight was only 3 and a half hours so I didn't have to be prepared that much. I walked downstairs and put on my sunglasses. I checked out of the hotel, and guess who I saw. Yes, Will again. "We keep running into each other, don't we?" I said with a light chuckle. He nodded. "I think we're just attached to each other or something. Which airport are you flying from?" "Newark! You?" "Same! I called an uber already. Do you want to go with me?" "Yeah sure! Which terminal do you have to go to?" "Terminal A, and you?" "Same! It would be funny if we had the same flight... But I don't think you're going to an F1 race, or are you?" "No way... I actually am!" "WHAT?" "Yeah I got invited to play some music but honestly I'm very nervous..." "If you would want to, I could go up there with you... And I'll ask the Ferrari team if you or we can practice for them!" "I'd like that... Thank you! But why Ferrari?" "I got asked to be with them for the weekend." "That's great! I got asked to stay with McLaren!" "That's so cool! Oh look, is that the Uber you called?" I said pointing to a Toyota RAV4. "Yeah! Let's get going then!" We went outside and felt the sunlight beaming on our faces while we walked and talked. The car was nice. The driver had some pretty good music on so I was grateful for that. He even asked WIll if he was from the band Lovejoy, and after Will confirmed his assumptions, he blasted 'The Fall'.

When we arrived, it was extremely hot outside. We decided to just go straight through security and grab a drink and a bite. At security nothing really happened, except for me being nervous and WIll comforting me by singing 'Jubilee Line', my favourite song of his and overall my favourite song. We got ourselves a bag of M&Ms and shared it (Tbh I need to do this sometime...). After Will freaking out over the brown M&Ms we had a hot chocolate and walked to the gate, to see we could already board. Our flight was booked by the teams we were staying with, and at the gate I saw a lot of Ferrari and McLaren employees. Ferrari waved me over and I gave Will a hug and said a quick goodbye. I saw Mattia Binotto going over to me. "Your highness L/n, it's truly a pleasure to meet you." He said and the whole team bowed for me. "It's a pleasure to meet you too mr. Binotto. You all can drop the formalities, I'm not into that stuff," I said with a smile, "just call me Y/n." "Well, okay Y/n, you can call me Mattia. YOu're probably wondering who you're sitting next to. You're sitting next to Charles over there!" He said. He waved at me and I blushed. Of course, I've seen him on TV before, but he's so cute! I waved back and made my way over to him. "Hi, I'm Charles, nice to meet you!" "I'm Y/n, but we both already know each other's names, so why not drop that?" I said and he laughed. "Well, let's get on the plane!" He said and we boarded the plane. We walked to our seats. I walked past Will and he saw me blushing so he gave me a wink, and I hid my face. I had the window seat, Charles was next to me and Mattia was next to Charles. "Mattia, I have a question." "Shoot." "Will, my friend, is staying at McLaren and performing a few of his songs post-race. He asked me to join him, so could we give a fews small concerts to you guys to practice everyday?" I asked. "Of course, I think it would really lift the team spirit!" 'I should tell Will, we have WiFi in the airplane anyways.' I got out my phone and texted Will we can practice everyday. He replied with a simple 'Okii thanks!' and I put my phone away. Charles just listened. "What instruments do you play?" He asked. "I play guitar and I sing! I can also drum a little bit and play the piano a little." He looked impressed. I chuckled. "Could you sing a song for me?" "Of course! Which song would you like to hear?" "Heat waves..." "Of course... WAIT A SEC NONONONONONO DNF NO WILL HELP!" Will looked over at me immediately. "What?" "Dnf is haunting me for life." "NOOO" (For the people who don't know, DNF (Dreamnotfound) is the ship name of the Twitch streamers Dream and GeorgeNotFound. Heat Waves is their theme song. WIll knows Dream and George personally). Will turned around again and I began to sing.

Charles and Mattia applauded once I finished. I gave them a soft smile."That was amazing Y/n!" "Thank you, Charles!" "Yeah I agree with Charles, I can't wait to see you and Will perform!" The plane started driving. I gripped the armrests. I like flying, but I hate taking off. Charles noticed. "What's wrong?" He asked softly. "I love flying, I just don't like taking off." I said, my voice cracking a bit because of the nerves. Charles nodded understandingly. "Does it help if I hold your hand?" He asked. I blushed and nodded. My mom used to do that and it always helped a little. But this time, when Charles grabbed my hand, I felt calm and safe. I looked him in the eyes and noticed how beautiful they were. "Thank you." I said with a small blush. "Anytime!" After taking off, I felt how exhausted I was. I felt my eyes close and suddenly I was in Dreamland.

Short 3rd person POV

When the plane was about to land, Mattia saw his driver and his soon to be employee fell asleep. Y/n's head was resting on Charles's shoulder while Charles's head was resting on Y/n's head. It was too cute to not make a picture of, so that's exactly what Mattia did. He sent it to Y/n and Charles (he got Y/n's number from her school) and to the group chat with his wife and kids with the caption 'Look at my driver, he's growing up'. He decided that, after all, it would be best to wake them up.

Back to Y/n pov!

I woke up in an airplane. For some reason I felt safe. I saw Mattia towering over me. "Was about time you woke up. Wake Charles for me, will you? He doesn't wake up." He said. I looked next to me and I blushed. I had fallen asleep on Charles's shoulder! I looked at him. He looked so peaceful! I almost didn't want to wake them up. Snapping out of my thoughts, I shook him a bit. Guess Mattia wasn't lying. He really was a heavy sleeper. "Hey, Charles, wake up!" I kind of shouted at him. And again, I saw him move, but he didn't wake up! I decided to do something. I laid my head on his chest. I heard his heartbeat wasn't steady. 'So he IS awake!' I felt a hand wrap around me when I wanted to sit up again. "Noooo don't sit up! This is comfy!" He said. "I know, but we're landing soon!" I said. He hestitaintly let me go.

At the airport we walked to a few cars. Mattia explained that me, Carlos Sainz, The McLaren Drivers, Will and Charles would go to our hotel, while he and the rest of the team would go to the paddock to quickly set a few things up. We nodded and walked to the car. "So, you're Y/n?" Carlos asked. "Yes I am! Nice to meet you! Carlos Sainz jr. right?" "Yeah, just call me Carlos!" "Alrighty then!" We got in the car. "I always wondered, what's it like to be training this hard every day?" "Well, you get used to it. At the beginning it was hard, but I think that after a while your body is used to the amount of pressure." "That's interesting!" Will sat down on the other side of me (Charles was already next to me). "Hiiiii Will!" I said. "Hi Y/n!" I smiled. "How was your flight?" I asked him. "Okay I guess. Yours?" "Well..." I looked at my phone, hoping something popped up that would give me words to describe it.. I saw a message. I looked at it and it was a picture of me and Charles sleeping. "Well like this." I showed him the picture. He burst out laughing, getting the attention of the drivers who were talking to each other. "What?" Lando asked. "Uhm well..." Daniël was quick to grab my phone. He laughed his ass off. He showed it to Lando and Carlos. They also cried of laughter. "Aweee our Charles is growing up!" Carlos said. "WHAT?" Charles said, grabbing for the phone. Daniël gave it back to me. "Good luck holding him off Y/n!" "Oh gosh..." I decided to just show him the picture with a blush. He blushed as well. *Insert Charles's accent* "WHO DID THISSS?" "Well I got it from Mattia." "I swear to god I'm gonna kill him." We all laughed and had a good time in the car.
