⚘ TWENTY NINE ⚘

*CARLOS ANGSTTTT!*

Max woke up so early, too excited to function. He jumped out of bed and started shaking Daniel who was super tired.

"Maxy what are you doiiinggg?" Daniel groaned as Max climbed on top of him.

"We are going to the drop slide place today!!!" He celebrated. Daniel mumbled and sat up.

"Can you get off of me please? You're super heavy." The Australian told the slightly taller Dutchman.

"Jup, sorry!" He got off and helped Daniel to his feet. 

"It's okay! Lets go to Lando and Carlos' room!" Daniel winked.

"Sure!" Max laughed in response. The two got up and snuck in front of Carlos and Lando's room. As Daniel twisted the door knob, he wondered if they were even awake. To his luck, as he entered the room he saw...

*Carlos POV - a minute prior*

I grabbed my shirt, pulling it over my shoulders. When my head slipped through, Lando had moved in front of me and was staring at me.

"What?" I asked in my groggy morning voice.

"Give me a kiss Chilli." Lando spoke in a smooth voice. I felt myself go bright red, not quite sure what to do. He hadn't asked me this before. I was so confused. The next thing I knew, he had grabbed me by the cheeks and pulled me towards him. His soft lips pressed against mine and I felt my whole body go a brighter colour than before. I was dazed so I hadn't reacted yet as he continued to kiss me.

That was when someone entered the room. I pushed Lando away from me and spun around to see them. It was Daniel and Max. I groaned.

*Third person POV*

Daniel's jaw dropped as he stared at the McLaren driver pulling Carlos in for a kiss on the lips.

"LANDO YOU NAUGHTY BOY!" He exclaimed.

"Shut up!" Carlos spat before turning to Lando, "Why did you do that?" He groaned, he had enjoyed every second of it but there was consequences when people like Daniel existed. Surely he would tell everyone.

"Wow." Max looked shocked.

"Sorry Carlos, your morning voice is hot." Lando teased.

"What the fuck? Lando are you high?" Carlos scowled, annoyed that he was continuing this behaviour when Max and Daniel were there.

"I thought you'd like it!" Lando protested.

"I did it's just-" He snapped back but was cut off by Daniel's gasp of joy.

"MAX YOU OWE ME 40 EUROS!!!" He squealed.

"Shut up." Max grumbled, searching for his wallet.

"CAN I TELL EVERYONE?" He shouted.

"They probably know by now because of your screaming..." Carlos groaned, on the verge of tears.

"It's okay Carlos, I'll make sure he doesn't." Max reassured him. Though the Spaniard's breaths were getting quicker at every second. He was freaking out as everything started to become distant to him. He would panic if everyone knew, what if the media found out? What if his family weren't supportive? What if his team weren't supportive? The next thing he knew, Max had run over and grabbed Carlos' hand and put it to his chest.

"Follow my breathing Carlos." Max mumbled, not sure if the guy could hear him.

"Go get Seb!" Lando told Daniel who despite his former excitement had ran off to get the German driver.

Sebastian was just talking to Lewis in the living room when Daniel burst in, Seb thought it was because he had too much energy but it was something much more concerning.

"Carlos is having a panic attack Seb! A really bad one!" Daniel told the room. Luckily, it only consisted of Sebastian, Lewis and Kevin at the time. Unfortunately though, Charles had heard. The Monegasque ran into the room.

"Is he okay?!" He spat out. Lewis sighed and walked over to Charles, making sure to keep him in the room so that Carlos' room wasn't too crowded.

"He will be." Lewis told Charles as Seb and Daniel hurried back upstairs. When they entered, Carlos was in a state on the floor. Max was trying to calm him down and Lando was sobbing. Daniel embraced Lando in a hug and took himself and the Brit downstairs to go with Lewis before they started panicking too.

Carlos was taking quick breaths, tears streaming down his cheeks. He was out of it quite a bit and was trying to follow Max and Seb's breathing. Everything was blurry; he couldn't hear anyone. After around 10 minutes he finally began to improve, he could hear them now.

"Carlos, can you hear me?" Seb said softly.

"Y-- Yeah." His voice was a stammer, taking deep breaths.

"OK, that's good. Just try and follow my breathing now." Seb knew Max was trying to keep calm for the guy, "See? You're safe. What's gotten you worked up like this?" The Aston Martin driver inquired.

"Lando kissed me, Max and Daniel walked in and I thought he was going to tell everyone. Then I thought about what if the media found out and my family weren't supportive and Ferrari.. and and..." He began to trail off as he started to cry again.

"Shh... shhh." Sebastian murmured, despite being shocked at the first part. "It's okay, don't overthink it. We'll sort it out mate. Do you always overthink this kind of stuff?" He said softly. Carlos was yet again on the verge of tears but was breathing calmly now.

"Yeah... I don't know why." He choked out.

"Don't focus on it, focus on your breathing." Seb added.

A few hours later, Carlos had fallen asleep whilst calming down and Seb and Max made an effort to get him back into his bed but he was pretty muscular so it was a bit difficult.

"Daniel can I talk to you?" Seb entered the living room, a look of horror faded onto Daniel's previously smiley face. He nodded and left the room silently. He tried his best not to panic and took some deep breaths.

"I know you probably didn't mean to, but you made Carlos really overstimulated there. I now know that he's got something going on." Seb noticed Daniel's heavy breathing and tried to sound nicer.

"I didn't mean to- I just got over excited." He explained, fidgeting nervously.

"It's okay, we all make mistakes. Just try and think before you say." Sebastian reassured him.

"Yeah... okay..." The Aussie mumbled, entering the living room again in a bit of a sulk.

The rest of the day went quite fast, nothing interesting happened really and Carlos didn't wake up again until later in the evening. They had forgotten about the drop slides but Seb realised and promised he would take everyone tomorrow instead.
