My Brother's Teammate | Lando Norris

Training Days

Now back in London, Alexis was settled in her bed, her attention mostly on the movie flickering on the screen. The room was dimly lit, and the soft hum of the film's soundtrack was a backdrop to her mounting discomfort. Lando lay beside her, his attempts to cuddle her only serving to heighten her irritation.

"Hey Al," Lando said, trying to draw her close with an arm around her shoulders. "You okay? You seem a bit distant tonight."

Alexis shifted uncomfortably, wincing slightly as she tried to find a more comfortable position. "I'm sorry, I know I'm being difficult. It's just... my period cramps are really fucking painful."

Lando's concern deepened, his brow furrowing. "Oh baby, I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Alexis gave him a tired smile. "I don't know. I'm not sure what would help right now."

Lando's face lit up with a playful idea. "Well, there is one way to stop period cramps."

Intrigued, Alexis looked at him. "Go on..."

Lando grinned cheekily. "For nine months."

Alexis burst into laughter, shaking her head. "Lando, you are not getting me fucking pregnant."

Lando pouted dramatically, sticking out his lower lip. "Why not? Don't you wanna have my babies?"

Alexis laughed again, shaking her head. "We've only been dating a few months. I'd definitely be open to talking about babies in the very distant future, but right now? No way."

Lando's expression softened as he looked at her earnestly. "I think you'd make a great Mum, you know. I've seen how wonderful you are with Mila."

"And you'd make a great Dad too I'm sure," Alexis said, her smile warm. "You're so good with kids."

Encouraged, Lando leaned in to kiss Alexis, attempting to deepen their intimacy. At first, she got swept up in the moment; his tongue gliding against her lip and his fingers pulling on the waistband of her sweatpants. But Alexis pulled back, her smile tinged with caution.

"Whoa, slow down there," She said gently. "Remember what I said about not getting me pregnant right now?"

Lando's face fell slightly. "Does that mean we can't have sex at all?"

Alexis reached out to comfort him, her hand brushing against his cheek. "We can. And we will. But honestly, the thought of it right now makes me wanna throw up."

Lando chuckled, though his smile was a bit rueful. "Jeez. I think that's the first time someone's been so repulsed by the thought of being with me that they might actually be sick."

Alexis laughed softly, shaking her head. "It's not you, it's just the cramps. I'm still very attracted to you. Trust me."

"You promise?" Lando asked, his voice almost shy.

"Pinky promise." Alexis said, extending her pinky. They locked their pinkies and stamped the promise with their thumbs, the playful gesture a comforting seal of their affection.

Lando's face brightened, and he offered to help further. "Let me get you some things for your cramps, then."

Alexis looked at him gratefully. "That'd be great. Thank you."

As Lando left the room, Alexis heard the faint sound of Oscar's voice, tinged with mock annoyance. "Hey! What are you doing with those biscuits? I thought I hid them for a reason!"

Lily's voice followed, soothing and pragmatic. "Oscar, let him have whatever he wants."

Moments later, Lando returned, arms full of items he thought might help her. He carefully set them on the bedside table and then slid back under the covers beside her.
