"Graveyard" of F1 short Fanfictions (boyxboy, girlxboy, driverxdriver)

Daniel x Hülkenberg

Daniel Looked at his friend Max a bit perplex if he had to be honest „You want me to three wheel your date with Carlos??" okay he was stunned „No, man" but the blonde shut him down again „it's not a date" the Dutch signed „at least not when you ask Carlos" The Aussie suddenly felt bad for his young friend and soon to be ex colleague „what do you mean, Maxie?" the younger stared at his shoes „I asked Carlos out to dinner, we'll I think I did, be he understood it as a – hang out as mates and bring some more guys along. So now I have to go to that dinner to meet up with Carlos and his plus one."

Daniel felt really bad „Oh I am sorry, that sucks." He dared to clap the blondes back „fine I'll come but only because I can't see you sad" instantly Maxs smile returned „thank you, and it's my treat." He wrapped his arms around the Aussie crushing him.

The first time Daniel noticed he didn't knew who Carlos plus one was, was the moment he parked his car outside the restaurant. The driver was dressed in a simple look, loose blue jeans and a nice smile sweatshirt. He was late as often, so after locking his car he went straight in.

The staff welcomed him and as soon as he said Maxes name he got lead away to a smaller separated room.

A new wave of pity ran threw him as he thought, that this would have been perfect for a date. Then he could see the people waiting for him Max, Carlos and the plus one - Nico Hülkenberg.

The tall German looked just as surprised as him. Both knew about the others contract and that they would be teammates in nearly 4 months, but until now they never spend any spare time together. Max had seen his frown, immediately jumping up „Daniel, perfect. " Still a bit unsure he just let the Dutch hug him. Max lowly whispered in his ears "I know, but Nico is nice and you can get to know each other before the next season" He had a point but the Ausie still felt a bit uneasy.

The tall blonde man was 2 years older then himself, but the thing that made the other always pause, was the way the German reacted to his humor: unbothered and unimpressed. First Daniel thought they just needed some time to warm up but the strange behavior never changed. In the meantime the Dutch had grabbed him by the hand pulling him to the other drivers, fearing he would break his promise „Carlos, Nico you know Daniel."

The Spaniard smiled warmly „of course mate, nice seeing you here. Max didn't say who he would bring. How are you doing?" Daniel let Max push him onto the empty chair between Nico and himself „Same, same. It was pretty spontaneous, I think. Life is good, I manage. And you? " The next minuets were filled with Carlos ranting about his life, F1, Golf and his family, until the waiter came, getting their drink orders in.

To Daniel's surprise they were already threw the first Half of the meal when he looked at his phone the next time. He had fun talking with the other man, at least Max and Carlos. Nico didn't really say much, he laughed about some stories, never missed a chance to tease the Spaniard but other than that he stayed silent. The Aussie never knew what to do with that kind of person. He needed someone just as hyper as him, like Max, and Nico didn't seem like it at all. A slight worried tug accompanied the thoughts about the upcoming season and the time with the German.

Just then Carlos stood up „I think I need some fresh air, someone wanna come along?" Of course the Dutch jumped at the question, nearly falling as he tried to stand up as fast as possible. Daniel chuckled at his friend, and his antics. And then he noticed what that would mean for himself. He looked to the right to the older blonde. That was the first time he noticed the other drivers eyes. Blue. Or we're the green? Something in between. It looked good on him, they had a little twinkle to them., like some mischief hiding behind the calm Facade.

As he stared into the eyes, his brain stared working again, noticing that he and Nico stared at each other for some time now. Hastily he cleared his throat „Sooo... Renault next season?" The other one nodded „yeah... you too? " Daniel nodded „yes, needed a break from Red Bull." It came out as a sign, and it was true. The German nodded „I can imagine, I am sorry they are treating you this bad mate. I can only promise what I do, but I will promise to do my best and be a good teammate." The sincerity of the others voice, made the Aussie shiver a bit. Nico was more intense than he thought or would have ever guessed. A bit more coated he answered "Thanks mate. I appreciate it. How is your team treating you?"
