------------------------

It was now time for the Spanish grand prix., Carlos' home race. No doubt the Spaniard wanted to do good in qualifying and also in the race, especially since his whole family was going to be there, watching him.

He wanted to show the world, his country, his fans, and his team on how talented he really was. On how special they were to have him on the Ferrari team. That's why when the first qualifying lap began he pushed full flat-out.

But something went wrong.

Half way done with Q3, Carlos lost control of the car, causing him to spin out and it sent him flying towards the barrier ending his qualifying session early. It was so severe that the red flag had to be pulled out, putting everyone's qualifying session to a halt.

Lando who was P4 at the time was undoubtedly pissed. He angrily radioed to his team.

- "what the fuck! What happened?"

- "Carlos is in the barrier at turn 3, please be cautious and careful." His strategist warned him, "He is okay and out of the car."

The Brit felt his heart skip a beat, Carlos crashed? As he passed turn 3 he saw the half destroyed car in the barrier. His heart ached for the spaniard, knowing how hard it's going to hit him, specifically because it's his home Grand Prix.

Since the Marshalls had to fix the barrier and bring the car back to the Ferrari garage, Lando decided to go check up on the Spanish driver since it would take an hour to fix everything.

He asked his team if it was okay to go check up on Carlos and they allowed him. Lando walked up to some of the Ferrari workers he saw outside of the facility and asked where Carlos was. They kindly told him he was in his driver room at the moment, getting some rest.

Lando thanked them and made his way throughout the Ferrari facility, the workers didn't mind having him there since they know how close he was with Carlos. As lando found Carlos' driver room he knocked on it gently,

no answer.

The Brit was confused, he knocked again. Then he heard some shuffling movements going on in the room. Lando just waited outside the door hearing the odd movements still happening inside.

He didn't have to wait long before the door opened and a shirtless Carlos appeared in front of him.

Lando looked at Carlos and Carlos looked back at him. The McLaren driver studied the Ferrari driver's face, something was obviously wrong.

- "can I come in?"

Carlos didn't reply, he just moved to the side a bit allowing the Brit to enter. As lando entered the room he heard the door close, he turned around to see Carlos, but the spaniard was already looking at him.

- "Are you okay.? I saw the crash, it looked bad."

Carlos sighed and nodded,

- "yeah, I'm fine. Just shaken up, y'know.?"

The Brit nodded and sat down on the spaniard couch. He patted the seat next to him, wanting Carlos to sit down. Carlos did obey and sat next to the McLaren driver. The spaniard looked at the Brit, his eyes by no means we're watery. Lando's heart broke by the sight of him so broken.

Carlos gaze soon fell to the ground, his hands in his lap. He knew Carlos was devastated with the crash. I mean who wouldn't? It's his home Grand Prix and he's starting 20th on the grid tomorrow. What luck that is, huh?

- "Carlos.." he called out to the spaniard. "Please look at me.."

The spaniard looked up at the Brit next to him. Carlos looked so exhausted, physically and mentally. Lando felt his eyes soften by the sight of the Spanish driver. He didn't think twice before reaching out and holding his hand.

Carlos didn't mind, he practically melted by the way Lando held his hand. The spaniard looked at lando and smiled weakly at him.

- "uh..can I ask you something.?"

Lando nodded his head gently, his gaze never leaving Carlos'.

- "can we.. cuddle? I just need some comfort.."

The Brit smiled at the Ferrari driver request.

- "of course, you deserve it. Just promise me you'll rest."

- "I promise."

Lando pulled Carlos on top of him and rubbed circles on his back gently. Carlos snuggled close to Lando, his head close to the Brits neck. Both of them didn't mind on how close they were by this point. Lando just had one job to do right now and it was to make sure Carlos gets some rest and that his comfortable.

The spaniard melted on top of lando. Slowly releasing his emotions little by little. By that time Lando felt some tears roll down Carlos face.

- "hey, hey, it's okay.." lando reassured him. "Don't cry Carlos, its going to be okay.."

Lando continued to rub small circles on Carlos' back, trying everything in his power to soothe him.

- "I'm sorry.. its just.. it's..it's not fair.-"

- "shh.." he cooed, "I know..life isn't fair sometimes, but I know you'll regain positions tomorrow. Just let it out."

Carlos stayed quiet and so did lando. The only thing that was heard in the room was silent sobs. The spaniard couldn't hold his emotions in anymore, he held the Brit close. Lando didn't mind Carlos pulling him closer, he actually loved it.

Lando placed a small kiss on Carlos' head and that somewhat helped the Spanish driver calm down. They stayed there, holding each other like it was normal.

- "feeling better?" Lando asked Carlos causing the spaniard to look up at him a bit.

- "yeah, just need you."

Lando smiled softly at Carlos and continued to soothe him, but all that was heard was the sound of Carlos breathing, his breathing was slow and steady, meaning he drifted off to sleep.

The Brit held him close and let out a sigh of relief. He's glad that he was able to make Carlos calm down and rest. He sent a quick prayer to the gods, hoping he does a fantastic job tomorrow.
