Song for this chapter: Long Live - Taylor Swift (Taylors Version)

As the sun dipped beneath the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow over the karting circuit, the air buzzed with excitement and the unmistakable scent of burning fuel. Ollie Bearman stood by the pit lane, heart pounding as he observed the final laps of the race. The sounds of engines roaring, tires squealing, and the jubilant cheers from the crowd enveloped him. But his attention was solely on one individual—Kimi Antonelli.

Kimi expertly maneuvered the kart, focused and intense. Ollie couldn't help but admire the way Kimi commanded the vehicle, every movement seamless and assured. The way Kimi gripped the wheel, his brow knitted in concentration, made Ollie's heart race. They had been friends for years, but recently, Ollie's feelings had transformed into something more thrilling and profound.

When Kimi crossed the finish line, a wave of cheers erupted from the stands, and Ollie felt a swell of pride. Kimi had done it; he had emerged victorious! The crowd erupted in jubilation, and Ollie joined in, his voice rising above the rest as he enthusiastically shouted Kimi's name.

Kimi removed his helmet, a triumphant smile lighting up his face as sunlight caught the sweat glistening on his forehead. He waved to the fans, then spotted Ollie in the crowd. Their eyes locked, and in that instant, everything else faded into the background.

After the race, Kimi sprinted over, still buzzing from the adrenaline. "Did you see that? I can't believe I actually won!" he exclaimed, his voice brimming with excitement.

"I knew you could do it!" Ollie beamed back. "You were phenomenal out there!"

Kimi's cheeks flushed slightly at the praise, causing Ollie's heart to skip a beat. "Thanks, Ollie. That means a lot coming from you," Kimi replied, his tone sincere.

As Kimi stood triumphant, hoisted onto the shoulders of his team, trophies gleaming in the sunlight, Ollie felt like he was living in a fairy tale. Kimi was the reigning champion of the track, and Ollie was lucky enough to witness it all.

Once the celebrations began to wind down, Ollie managed to catch Kimi alone, leaning against the barrier with a view of the track. "I can't believe this is happening," Kimi said, a dreamy expression lighting up his face.

"It's surreal!" Ollie agreed, glancing at Kimi. "You deserve every bit of this. All your hard work paid off."

Kimi turned to face him, a serious look settling on his features. "You've always been there for me, Ollie. I wouldn't be here without your support."

Ollie's heart swelled with warmth at Kimi's words. "I'll always have your back," he promised, feeling the weight of their connection.

"Do you remember that night we stayed up late discussing our dreams?" Kimi asked, a hint of nostalgia in his voice.

"Absolutely! You told me you wanted to be a world champion, while I just wanted to be your number one fan," Ollie replied, chuckling lightly.

Kimi laughed, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "And look at us now! I'm one step closer to my dream, and you're still my biggest supporter."

Ollie's heart soared at the thought. He loved being Kimi's fan, but deep down, he yearned for something more profound. He wanted to be more than just a friend or an admirer; he wanted to be Kimi's partner in every sense.

"What if one day I could be more than just a fan?" Ollie ventured, his voice barely above a whisper.

Kimi's expression shifted, curiosity piqued. "What do you mean?"

Ollie hesitated, the weight of his feelings pressing down on him. "I mean... I want to be there for you, not just as a friend. I want to share everything with you."

Kimi's gaze softened, and for a moment, Ollie thought he saw a flicker of understanding in those deep eyes. "I want that too, Ollie. More than you know."

The air thickened with anticipation, the moment charged with unspoken words. But just as Ollie was about to lean in, the roar of the crowd surged, breaking the spell. Kimi's team was celebrating, and the moment slipped away like sand through their fingers.

"Come on, let's join them!" Kimi said, his bright smile returning.

As they rejoined the throng, Ollie couldn't shake the feeling that something had changed between them, a promise lingering in the air. The celebration was vibrant, confetti cascading down like rain as Kimi accepted his trophy, the crowd roaring in approval.

"Long live the king!" Ollie cheered, his voice blending with the crowd's enthusiasm. Kimi turned, eyes sparkling, and for a brief moment, it felt as if the world had paused just for them.

Later that evening, after the festivities had settled, Ollie found himself at Kimi's apartment. The atmosphere was relaxed, filled with the remnants of their earlier celebrations. They lounged on the couch, surrounded by snacks and drinks, talking and laughing as if they were the only two in existence.

"Can you believe how wild today was?" Kimi asked, his eyes bright with excitement.

"It was insane! I'm so proud of you," Ollie replied, his heart full as he watched Kimi's animated expressions.

Kimi stretched, arms raised above his head. "You know, it's moments like these that make all the hard work worthwhile."

"Absolutely," Ollie chimed in. "And to think, we used to dream about this together."

Kimi turned serious for a moment, considering his next words. "Do you remember our pact from when we were kids?"

Ollie laughed, nodding. "Of course! We promised we'd make it big together and never forget our roots."

"And here we are! Look at us now," Kimi said with pride. "But I want more than just this, Ollie. I want to keep making memories with you."

As they sat in comfortable silence, Ollie felt an irresistible urge to close the space between them. With a deep breath, he leaned in slightly, his heart racing as he searched Kimi's eyes for any sign of hesitation.

"Kimi, can I ask you something?" Ollie said, attempting to keep his voice steady.

"Anything," Kimi replied, curiosity shining in his eyes.

"What if we made it official? You know, us? It doesn't have to change everything, but..." Ollie's voice trailed off, his heart racing in anticipation.

Kimi's gaze softened, a smile slowly spreading across his face. "You mean... like a couple?"

"Yeah," Ollie said, feeling vulnerable yet exhilarated. "I want to be your boyfriend. I want to be there for you, to share everything, just like we always talked about."

Kimi's expression turned serious, the weight of Ollie's words sinking in. "Ol, I've wanted that too. For a while, actually."

The confession hung in the air, and Ollie felt a rush of warmth at Kimi's admission. "Really?" he asked, disbelief coloring his tone.

"Yeah! I thought it was just me being silly, but... I can't imagine my life without you," Kimi replied, his sincerity evident.

Ollie's heart soared at Kimi's words, and before he could overthink it, he leaned in closer. "So, what do you say? Let's make this official?"

Kimi grinned, the brightness of his smile illuminating the room. "I'd love that, Ollie."

Their lips met in a gentle kiss, the world around them fading away as they embraced the moment. It was soft and sweet, a promise of what was to come, and Ollie felt a surge of joy that he had never experienced before.

As they pulled away, breathless and smiling, Ollie felt a sense of elation wash over him. "Long live our kingdom," he whispered.

"Long live us," Kimi replied, eyes sparkling with happiness.

In that moment, with the memories of the day still fresh and the promise of many more adventures ahead, Ollie knew that they were destined to create a lifetime of magic together, side by side, as kings of their own extraordinary realm.
