I thought that writing a fic about F2 drivers (who will then go to F1) is not such a bad idea, so here it is! Happy reading (even if I don't know if this is the only one I will write) 🩵🫂
It was evening and in the beautiful city of Baku (because some bros decided to stay in Azerbaijan before leaving for Singapore), the future Haas driver Oliver Bearman was going to visit his best friend Kimi Antonelli as he did not feeling well: he had caught a bad flu, which forced him to stay at home under the bed sheets...
Ollie is very fond of him, he would do anything to show how much he cares about him, indeed, loves him! But Kimi doesn't know that he has a crush on him and Ollie will continue to keep the secret so far
The hotel where the English boy was staying was not far from Antonelli's rented apartment, so he walked a few steps to reach the house. After climbing a few flights of stairs, he stopped in front of the front door and knocked once...no one answered, maybe he was sleeping, so he knocked again. Nothing. On the third attempt, Oliver heard the slow footsteps of a weak and suffering boy and finally saw the Italian boy in front of him
Kimi: *with a nasal voice (he'll have it throughout the story)* oh...hi Oliver
He had a blanket on his back like a cloak, a red nose and small eyes
Ollie: Hi Kimi! How are you today...
Kimi: mmmh, I feel terrible...
Ollie: oh, I'm so sorry, i don't want to bother you
Kimi: it's okay *sniffles* , come in
The two boys sat down in the living room, Kimi threw himself on the sofa while the other boy sat on the armchair
Kimi: I didn't think you were coming to visit me...
Ollie: in fact here I am! Hehe...look, I have a little present for you ♡
Kimi: oh, what is it?
It was a teddy bear wearing a cute red t-shirt that said "get well soon, little curl. From your teddy bear ;>"
Kimi: oh god, it's wonderful! *hugs the plush in his arms*
Ollie: I customized the little t-shirt
Kimi: did you do it!? *sniffles (I'll write this action down copiously, he's sick after all, what can I do?)* impossible
Ollie: Well obviously I bought the puppet but I made the t-shirt with my own hands, you have to believe me
Kimi: you are really swe-
He could not quite finish the sentence before he sneezed mightily; Bearman immediately handed him (?) a tissue
Kimi: sorry, it's just that I've been like this for a couple of days...I feel like a tower collapsed on me, a tower on fire. *gesticulates* Sleepless nights, medicines, herbal teas...*huffs* I can't take it anymore
At the words of the Italian boy, Oliver felt demoralized: he didn't know what to do to, at least, make him feel better and make him find the smile that the flu had taken away; he sat down next to Kimi and stroked his back
Ollie: don't worry, little curl, it's just a bad flu, you'll see that everything will pass; We've all had it at least once in our lives, I've had it too! I had it a while ago, but if I'm here it means I survived *laughs*. So you have to take your time to heal, rest and be ready for the next race
Kimi: *stanco* yeaaa
Ollie: now do you want something hot? I'll prepare you a herbal tea
Kimi: but Oliver, don't bother yourself, I can do it myself...
Ollie: no no no no no, now just stay relaxed and rest until it's ready
The English boy looked for all the material to prepare a good herbal tea for poor Kimi, who kept coughing
Kimi: *turns to him* Bro, you're too kind...I hope everyone I meet on the grid is as kind as you *coughs*
Ollie: hmhmhm, thank you ♡. Look, the herbal tea is ready *pours hot water into the cup along with the herbal tea bag*, you'll have to wait a little longer, in the meantime I'll sit here *goes back to sit next to him*
Kimi: don't stand too close to me or you'll get ill!
Ollie: don't worry, Kimi, if I were to get ill too I would stay home *laughs*... anyway, are you happy with the promotion to F1?
Kimi: of course! Finally one of the many dreams that I still keep in my drawer has come true. *sniffs again* And you?
Ollie: same, but I thought I was going to Ferrari, then when I signed for Haas I said to myself "ok" *grimaces*
