Adrenaline (Sebastian Vettel)

Fallout

"We're going home," Lewis shouted as he threw your clothes into the open suitcase on your bed. For a fleeting few seconds after you'd rushed back inside, you thought you would maybe get away with it. Maybe the picture was blurry? Maybe it wasn't obvious it was you? You'd taken a shower, finally sobering up. By then it had been about an hour. Surely the picture would have been released by now.

A text.
Lewis.
One photo.
Shit.

"You can't control everything I do, I'm not a child," you huffed, knowing it'll make no difference.
"Oh, watch me," he smiled, zipping your case and motioning to the door.

The flight home passed in silence. You'd never seen your brother so pissed. When your flight landed back in the UK, your dad arrived without a word. Lewis had obviously phoned ahead. As you connected your phone back to the world, a vibration bought a smile to your face.

-Seb- hope I see you soon

You checked your Instagram notifications as you got into the car, wincing at how many posts you'd been tagged in. Maybe that was enough screen time for today, you thought.

*one week later*

You had never had a fight with your brother that lasted this long. Living together, you did tend to fall all quite a lot. But never like this. Over the course of a week, the only progress you had made was that you could now both sit on the sofa when you watched the TV. You hadn't messaged Seb back, for fear of Lewis seeing your phone light up and throwing it out of the nearest window.

"So..." you started one evening where another movie had passed in silence. "Canada. Fun one. You love Canada."

"I'm not taking you" he replied without even a glance in your direction.

"What?"

"I'm not taking you!"

"Oh come on. You've got to be kidding me." You stuttered.

"Kidding you? Kidding you?" He fumed. "Y/N you've completely embarrassed me in front of everyone at the paddock you aren't coming with me."

"How have I embarrassed you? It was only a kiss?"

"He's my rival! Don't you understand. You're supposed to support me. To be on my team. What do you think it looks like if even my own sister doesn't support me? It makes me look like a dick!"
