Motorsport One shots x Y/n

🎶Forever- JW13

Using the song Forever from Euphoria- let Zendaya slay forever more.

I sat in the car next to my older brother, Oscar Piastri. We were going to watch the Formula 3 testing. Oscar used to race for Prema so we were allowed to come into the Prema garages and motor homes.

"Cmon. Let's go. They'll let us in now." He said, opening the car door. I nodded and followed him into the paddock. It wasn't massively busy but there still seemed to be the mist of stress around. I got so lost in my own thoughts of how different the paddock was to normal, I didn't notice James come up behind me.

"HI Y/n!" He said, jumping on my back. I nearly fell over before he caught me and dragged me back up to stand.

"Jeeezzz, it's still what... 8 in the morning?" I laughed.

"Sorry! Can you come help me with something though?" James asked.

"Fine! Let's go. Bye Oscar." I waved and began following James away.

"Oh. Bye then. Ditched your own brother for your boyfriend. " Oscar called after us. I flipped him off. Me and James were the same age and had been best friends for nearly 3 years. I couldn't lie that I had a crush on him but I liked what we had already and I didn't want to ruin it.

We both walked quite quickly and our hands were brushing against each others. I felt James' eyes on me as his hand moved to interlock our fingers. He looked at me again so I smiled to reassure him that it was okay.
"I need to talk to you about something." He quickly said, leading me to a quiet corner of the paddock.

"You okay?" I asked quietly, worried.

"Yeess...." He said slowly, working out what he was going to say. There were a few moments of silenced before I asked again.

"Are you worried about driving an F3 car?"

"Yes. Yes I am. I'm going from F4 straight to F3 testing, no FRECA. And I don't think I've done enough training- I mean the speed will be crazy and I don't think I'll be able to keep up with the car is that makes sense-" James rambled before I cut him off.

"James, you are an incredible driver. Prema wouldn't have moved you up if they didn't see something in you that meant you can do this." I continued. "And so what if you don't do well? The team will probably keep you for another season. And everyone will still like you. Your family will still love you, I will still love yo-"

I bit my lip in frustration of what I had let slip.

"Wha-" James was about to start talking but I didn't let him. I tear welled up in my eye. I had ruined 3 years of friendship.

"Concentrate on the racing." Was all I could get out before I began walking away.

"No, Y/n. Please..." James grabbed my wrist.

He pulled me back to to face him. His hand held the side of my face and the other hand on my waist. James closed the gap. Gently but lovingly his lips settled on mine. It was like a burst of fireworks in my stomach. Everything seemed to slow down, like the world suddenly got trapped in some kind of time vacuum.

" Since the first time I met you I knew that I would fall in love with you. Now look at us!" James smiled after we pulled away. I didn't say anything but rested my head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms tightly around me and rested his chin on my head. I realised how lucky I was to have James.

We walked hand in hand through the paddock to the Prema motor homes.

"Hello you two! James, the engineers want to have a quick chat with you before test start- they're upstairs." Angelina greeted us both. "Oh, and nice seeing you Y/n! How's Oscar?"

"Yea, he's good! He still hasn't cut his nails though. Lily keeps trying to get him to but he never does." I laughed. Oscar's girlfriend Lily, along with Angelina always told Oscar to cut his nails. I never really had a problem with it, but it was another chance to annoy him so I joined in.

"Of course he hasn't. James, the engineers are upstairs." Angelina said to him who was still next to me.

"I know don't worry. I'm waiting for Y/n." James smiled. Angelina smiled back at him confused but nodded and let us go upstairs. At school I studied engineering, physics and languages to hopefully one day get a job as an engineer. James knew I loved to learn about the cars, so whenever he could, he would bring me with him.

"Hey guys!" One of the performance engineers, Mario, greeted. "So, F3 car, little bit different to an F4 car. First major change is pace- it will be significantly faster but you've had enough training for it. Hopefully, the handling and braking will be better. If today doesn't go so well, it's fine, you're still in F4 next season. But you will be great anyway! So, you are all set to go."

James looked at me, smiling, knowing this was all the things that I had reassured him about.

"Testing starts in... 45 minutes so you might want to change in a minute." One of the other engineers said. James nodded and turned to leave. "Anyway, how are you guys?"

"Yea fine I guess! Just eat, train, sleep repeat for the last couple of weeks." James answered.

"And Y/n?" He asked me.

"Oh, pretty much the same but swimming and school with Grand Prixs' in between." I shrugged.

"So what are you two at now?" He asked, smiling, nodding at our interlocked fingers. We dropped each others' hands.

"Oh. No, it's nothing... just someone out in the paddock was being weird, James got me out the situation." I quickly lied. The engineer gave me a look which told me that he would go along with it but he knew it wasn't true as I tried to keep a game face.

"ANYWAY, I need to go get ready so see you guys in a bit!" James switched the conversation and went down the stairs.

"Yea, Uhm, I'll see you guys later hopefully!" I smiled and followed James down the stairs. As I got to half way, I overheard the engineer saying something.

"I'm so glad those two have finally gotten together..."
