To say Daniel was happy when he saw Hamilton pulled off at the side of road was an understatement. Yeah he was a bit disappointed he didn't get to fight Hamilton for the win but he was in the lead. Engine failure he got told. All Daniel had to do now was fend off his teammate Max. He was praying they wouldn't crash for the teams sake.
When he finally got the chequered flag and crossed the line he was over the moon. Max was too. Even though Max didn't win it was a great battle between the team mates and he was really happy for his teammate.
When all the team celebrations and media duties at the track where finished Daniel went to find Max. He really wanted to speak to him. To tell Max how he felt. He saw Max leaving the track with some of the team and was just about to go running after him when he felt people jump him, dragging him to the floor. When he got up he saw Jenson and Mark laughing. While they were congratulating him on the win and blabbering on about this and that Daniel was trying to come up with the perfect plan, the perfect way to tell Max just how he felt. That's when it hit him. He knew exactly what to do. He just had to find Max. Like asap. Mark and Jenson started walking towards the hotel and he just followed. They didn't leave him alone till Dan got to his room. Finally in private Dan sent Max a text.
'Meet me at 10 on the roof'
'Erm... ok but why?'
Daniel didn't reply. Too busy arranging everything to make sure it would be perfect.
A few doors down Max was stressing out. Why did Daniel want to meet up with him? Probably just to celebrate the 1-2. He was hoping it was for something else. He wanted to celebrate with Daniel but was secretly hoping it was for something more. But then why would a guy like Dan fall for someone like him. Max quickly dismissed the thought as him reading too much into it. Dan just wanted to celebrate nothing else.
When Dan was ready he quickly checked his phone 9:30. He had time to go up and check on everything. When he got up there he saw it pretty much how he wanted it. There was a blanket laid out on the far end of roof with fairy lights leading up to it in a sort of path way. There were candles in the middle of the blanket and a bouquet of flowers, 33 Orange tulips to be exact. A basket of snacks and drinks was next to the blanket. Dan started getting nervous quickly texting to make sure the surprise would be ready.
Even though they were always hanging out and Dan could swear there was something between them he was getting more and more nervous. He was so hoping he wasn't going over the top with this. What if Max didn't like it? He had to shake the thought from his head trying to calm down.
Max checked his phone and saw that it was already 9:58. He was running late again. He quickly raced to the elevator and took it to the top floor where he had to take the stairs to the roof taking them two at a time. It was 10:05 when Max finally opened the door to the roof. He was shocked when he saw the lights. What was Dan up to now?
He slowly followed the lights and saw Dan stood there with some flowers in his hand and a nervous smile on his face.
"Hi. These are for you," Dan smiled handing the flowers to Max.
"Orange tulips really Dan," Max laughed still thanking him and blushing a little.
Dan gestured for Max to sit down and they both did. He then got two glasses and a bottle of champagne out of the basket. Dan poured the champagne into the glasses and handed one to Max. He then got all the food out of the basket and they both tucked in, talking about anything and everything for a while.
It was at around 11 that Dan got a text saying it was ready when he was.
Max looked.at Dan and saw him staring back.
"Hey so there was a reason I invited you up here. I wanna tell you something. So... erm... I erm... really erm... how do I say this," Dan mumbled, blushing a little.
"Come on you can tell me anything Dan you know that," Max laughed at him.
"This is hard to say but I erm... I... oh fuck. Ok. I really like you. In fact I think I'm falling for you," Dan almost shouted in frustration. He hated that Max made him nervous. He couldn't even look at Max.
"Oh" was all Max could say. He was trying to find the right words to say. What could he say. The man he was falling for just told him he felt the same. Trying to form a sentence somehow.
Daniel sighed and stood up. He knew this was a mistake. Why did Dan have to ruin this? Why did he have to tell Max how he felt? Dan started walking away tears starting to form in his eyes.
Max quickly grabbed his arm. "Wait, Dan just wait. I-I-I-I-I like you too," Max stuttered.
Dan turned around and gave the Dutch man his famous smile. He grabbed Max's arm and pulled him closer. They locked eyes before leaning in close and kissing him.
That's when the first firework went off. Max pulled away the sound starting him a little. He looked up at the fireworks in awe. Dan grabbed Max's hand squeezing it a little and looking at him. His face was cute lit up by the fireworks and the fairy lights. Dan let go of Max's hand and pit it around his shoulders pulling him in for a side hug while they watched the fireworks together.AUTHORS NOTE
