INSPIRED BY: Henry and Alex in RWRB, and how they kept there relationship a secret. It'll make more sense when you read it.
--------------
The two had been pining for each other for around 2 years, before Carlos took the wheel and confessed in 2021. Then they started going on dates in secret, and then finally became a couple.
Lando had opted that they only tell people they had to and keep it a secret from others. Carlos agreed, but sometimes he wanted to shout from the rooftops.
'I have a boyfriend and his name is Lando Norris!'
But they both knew that was a bad idea, so for now, Carlos was okay with secrecy. Even though they had agreed to keep their relationship a secret, the Spainard would leave little marks on his boyfriend's neck and chest.
It was like saying that he was taken, but not by who. The fans could speculate, and the reporters could ask all they wanted, but they would never reveal.
They were always stealing kisses from one another and never thought they would get caught. One day, after a particularly good race for the two of them, they were in Carlo's hotel room.
The two of them were just making out, nothing crazy, and Lando was enjoying it so much. While Carlos was devouring his neck, the two of them heard keys jiggling outside of the door.
Lando's eyes widened. "Go hide!" Carlos whispered. The Brit nodded and stuffed himself into the closet next to the bed. The door unlocked and very tired Charles walked out.
"Hello mate." He said. He looked at Carlos's messed up hair, the clothes on the floor, and random phone, immediately realizing what was going on.
Charles smirked. "You sly dog!" The Spainard tilted his head, not knowing what he meant. "Where is she?" Charles asked, looking in the bathroom.
Carlos's eyes widened, suddenly knowing what his teammate was inferring. Charles looked under the bed and out the window. "No one's in here!" The Spainard argued.
There was a bang in the closet and the Monegasque man smirked. "No girl in here my ass!" He said, before opening the closet door revealing a half-naked Lando Norris.
The Brit smiled nervously. "Hi Charles!" Lando said, laughing nervously. Charles pulled him aggressively out of the closet.
"Why is Lando in your closet without a shirt Carlos?" He said, holding onto Lando's shirt sleeve tightly. Carlos looked back and forth between his boyfriend and teammate. The Brit nodded, telling him that he was comfortable with Charles knowing.
The Spanish man sighed. "Lando is my boyfriend, Charles." The grip Charles had on Lando's shirt loosened. "Wait what! Why didn't you tell me?" The Monegasque man whined.
Lando laughed, before shoving him off and jumping on the bed. "We agreed to keep it a secret." The Brit said.
Charles looked at them dumbfounded, before a smirk made its way onto his face. "So, you're the one that's been giving Lando all those hickeys."
Carlos blushed and Lando buried his face in his boyfriend's arm. Now that Charles knew, they had to be sure that no one else would.
Unfortunately, secrets can't stay secrets forever.
Daniel was the next to find out. Carlos and Lando were being much more secretive about their relationship now that Charles knew as well.
But, the nicknamed "Honey Badger" was just too damn attentive. He saw all of the longing glances, the subtle touches.
One day he decided to talk to the two of them and figure out what was going on. He was already sure that he knew what was going on but he wanted to be sure.
And confirming Daniel's suspicions, there were Carlos and Lando, making out in the hallway.
If it had been anywhere else, like in a driver room or a room with a door, Daniel would've blamed himself.
But they were in the middle of the fucking hallway! "What are you two doing?" The Australian said, crossing his arms. The Spaniard reluctantly separated from the Brit.
"Uh... I was wiping something off his face?" Carlos said, trying to lie and failing miserably. Daniel gave him a look. Lando rolled his eyes. "With your lips?" The Aussie exclaimed.
The young Brit stifled a laugh. "You're really bad at lying Chili." He said. Carlos stuck out his tongue at his boyfriend. Daniel snapped his fingers in front of the two, effectively getting their attention.
"Focus! Are you two dating?" He asked, already knowing the answer. Lando and Carlos looked at each other, before nodding.
Daniel pinched the bridge of his nose. "And who else knows?"
"Charles, and some of the engineers." Carlos said, rubbing the back of his neck. The Aussie sighed and looked at the couple. He understood why they would hide it.
But if they had already been caught once by Charles, it wasn't long until someone else would catch them like he just had. And it could be someone worse, like a fan who would out them to the whole world. "You guys have to be more careful about this!" He exclaimed.
Lando looked up sheepishly towards his teammate. Daniel sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Just, try not to make out in the hallways! Unless you want people to find out, than by all means go ahead." The couple looked at each other.
They did want people to know. But no F1 drivers had ever been in a relationship together before, so they didn't know how the public would react.
Daniel stood there, expecting them to answer. Carlos looked at Lando, who nodded. "We do want people to know." The Spaniard said confidently.
The Aussie rose his eyebrow and nodded. "I'll leave you two alone then." He said running off. Lando sighed, before looking at his boyfriend. Carlos gave him a small smile to try and ease his nerves.
"Do you really want to do this?" Lando asked. The Spaniard nodded and kissed his boyfriend tenderly. He wanted nothing more than for everyone to know Lando was his. "More than anything Cariño."
Lando smiled and Carlos wrapped an arm around his waist. "Then let's go tell em'."
