It was a common occurrence that you were in the paddock with Kimi. Ever since you decided to attend school entirely online, you were by his side, and it may (or may not) have been because of the begging you received from Kimi.
It started when he was in karting, and he just wanted someone familiar to talk to. Then, when he moved to championships, he was always one of the youngest ones competing, and it was weird being the odd one out. Around the same time, you were given the option to switch to online school. He begged you to do it, so you could travel with him. How could you say no?
Not to mention, you loved taking pictures, especially of your favorite person, and PR from both Prema and Mercedes would pay you for some of the pictures. It was just easier to pay you since you always took pictures of Kimi.
But that's beside the point. You were doing what you normally did whenever Kimi was a guest on the F1 paddock: sit beside him silently as he listened in on a meeting. Sure, it was not your favorite thing to do, but it was a standard. And most of the time, the meetings did not even concern Kimi; he just had to sit in them because he was their junior driver.
You were sitting in the back of the room, holding his hand and not paying attention at all. That is until Kimi started pulling at your hand to get your attention. You turned your head and met his eyes. The look he gave you was one you recognized immediately, a silent plea for you to sit on his lap. With a joking sigh, you moved onto his lap as he smiled laid his head on your shoulder after giving you a kiss on your cheek.
"You're more clingy today," you whispered to him, "What's up?"
"You're going to leave for two weeks," he complained as his arms tightened around your waist. "I know you miss your family and friends, but I won't see you again until right before the race."
"Don't worry, amor (love)," you consoled as you rubbed his arms, leaning further back into his hold. "I'll be back before you know it, and we'll be back traveling in no time."
"Yay," he chuckled before cutting himself short, "And I'm not clingy."
"Oh come on," you replied in disbelief, turning your head to meet his eyes. "Clingy Antonelli is my favorite."

Despite being with your family for once, Kimi would call you at any chance he could. He just needed to hear your voice and see you before doing anything racing-related. It was one of his superstitions, and you did not plan on standing in the way of it.
Flash forward to when you finally came back. Due to the time difference, it was only 12 hours from the last time you talked to Kimi, but for him, it was nearing 20 hours. He knew that he had to give you space at some points, but this? Nope. He was sure that your plane should have landed ages ago, yet you still were not on the track. You had yet to answer his calls or texts, and he was starting to get anxious.
He was passing around the garage, half listening to his strategy team go over the plan for the race. He half-registered some Mercedes personnel walk into the garage but did not think anything of it since he remembers them saying they wanted to see him in action this weekend. Little did he know it was Toto and Susie Wolff in the flesh. They talked a little bit with the team before they turned their attention to Kimi.
"Is he always this nervous before a race?" Susie asked Toto, knowing that he had seen Kimi racing in FRECA before, but she did not remember him saying that Kimi got nervous.
"Not that I remember," Toto responded just as confused before he turned to Kimi's race engineer with a questioning look, gesturing in Kimi's area.
"He's missing his lucky charm," Anthoine laughed, shaking his head. It's said when you talk about someone, they appear, and that's exactly what happened. Like clockwork, Kimi's head snapped toward the garage door as he heard your unmistakable laugh. Kimi immediately took off, trying to find you. It did not take long because you were right around the corner, about to walk in with Ollie. Kimi wasted no time, picking you up in a tight embrace as he peppered kisses all over your face. Anthoine chuckled again as he pointed at the two, "Oh, look. They're back."
They all let you have your moment in peace. Kimi needed it. His nerves were through the roof, everyone could tell, so despite knowing that he needed to get in the car as soon as possible, they stepped back. The last thing they needed was an anxious driver on the track.
You could not even hear what Kimi was saying, just a bunch of anxious thoughts coming to light. You let him rant as much as he needed before he finally set you down and placed a long kiss against your lips. He pulled away all too quickly for your liking before leaning against your forehead, whispering, "you're never leaving me again."
"My flight got delayed, and my phone died," you whispered back as he went back to placing butterfly kisses all over your face. "I wanted to call you."
"It doesn't matter now," he sighed, hiding his face in your neck and breathing you in "You're here now, and that's what matters."
"Leave the poor girl alone, Kimi," You heard a voice behind Kimi chuckle, causing you to look over his shoulder. It was Toto and Susie Wolff, which caused your eyes to widen and your face grew red in embarrassment. Immediately, Susie's arm came up to smack Toto in the shoulder.
"Oh, leave them alone," She countered, "You were just like that before we were married."
"Oh he's just being Clingy Antonelli," you laughed, nervously. "I'll get him into the car, don't worry."
