Brother vs. love interest -- Max Verstappen, Lando Norris

Brother: Max Verstappen, Love interest: Lando Norris

It was a few days before the British grand prix. This grand prix was a grand prix close to home since you've moved to England for your internship. You decided to invite your brother Max over to stay at your place for this grand prix weekend. He of course said yes since you were his little sister after all and you don't see each other a lot with all the travelling that Max must do for his career. Well he didn't exactly say yes immediately. He said yes on one condition: he could use your racing simulator. Racing was in your blood just like in the rest of the family so your racing simulator was the first thing you brought with you when you were moving to the UK. Max just arrived from the airport at your house and dropped off his stuff. "Max you don't mind that I'm off for a while later today right?" you say to him. "No don't mind that at all, gives me time to race in peace" he says and pokes you. You gave him a sarcastic face expression. "Where are you going? Are you going on a date? Is there a guy I should know about?" Max says fast. "I... I'm going to a friend of mine, nothing special" you say trying to hide the fact that the friend you're talking about isn't just a friend. Lately he's is becoming a little bit more than that. You had met Lando at a few races and started to get to know him more since he spent a lot of time with your brother on the simulator. Since a few weeks Lando and you started to hang out more so he could show you around in England. Sometimes you also raced with him on the simulator. All those meeting ups and racing has let to feelings that were more than just friends. You didn't want to tell Max all about it since he was so close with him. You both agreed to tell him once you guys were official. "You know your way around right?" you asked Max whilst grabbing your coat. "Of course and if not I will call you" he yells from the other room. He already made himself comfortable in you race seat. "Okay, I'm going now see you!" you say and checked if you had everything with you before closing the door behind you. Lando his apartment wasn't far from yours so you could walk.

You walked up to his door and rang the bell. Before you knew it Lando opened the door. "Y/N! It's so nice to see you again! Come in!" Lando said like a very happy little child whilst opening the door. You couldn't help but laugh a little. "It's nice to see you too Lando" you said whilst you walked in. You took of your jacket and hung it up. "So, what were you doing?" you asked Lando. "Oh, you know, just the usual stuff: sim racing." "Exactly as I thought" you said laughing. "You know Max is sim racing in my apartment right now. He's staying at my apartment this weekend for the grand prix" you explained to Lando. "So, you're staying at the Red Bull garage this weekend?" Lando asked and you nodded. "But don't worry I'll pass by the McLaren garage as well" you said and smiled. Lando his smile grew bigger. "So, sim racing?" he asked you. "I thought you'd never ask" you say and you both walked up to his simulator. "Okay so do you wanna go first or?" Lando asked. "Nah, I prefer watching you race, it's kinda hot" you say teasing him. "Hmm, fair enough" he said and got started. At the end of his first race Lando got a call. "It's Max, should I pick up?" Lando asked and you kinda panicked but nodded. "Hi" Lando answered and the conversation started going. "Um, yeah sure... okay... yeah bye" Lando said. "I think I just did something stupid" Lando says and turns to you. "What did you do?" you asked. "Max called me to ask if we could race together and I kinda said yes. But now I realise that you're here and he will notice that you're here too!" he says kinda freaked out. You stressed a little. "You know it's fine don't worry I'll just make sure I keep quiet" you say. "Okay, okay, it's just for a little while I promise!" Lando says. Lando and Max made contact and soon the racing with Max had begun. You sat and watched Lando race, really enjoying your view. That made it a whole lot easier to stay quiet whilst Lando and Max were communicating. After one race Max asked to do just one more race. Lando looked at you and you nodded that it was totally fine. "Hold on, I have to call Y/N really quick to ask her something" Max said and before you knew it your phone started ringing. "Lando? Is your phone ringing too?" Max asked Lando since he heard a phone in the background. "Uhm maybe?" Lando answered. "Wait let me try again"' Max said and he hung up. In the mean time you quickly tried to turn your phone to silent but you were too late. "Now I hear it again" Max says. "This can't be coincidence" he said suspicious. "Y/N, are you at Lando his place?" Max asked and that was the moment you knew you were busted. You sighed "yes it is me." "You two have a whole lot of explaining to do this weekend" Max said and hung up on Lando.

"Luckily we can explain" Lando said laughing trying to make the mood a bit lighter. "He didn't sound really happy" you said and felt kind of bad. "He can't be mad at you for liking me! I mean in the end I'm just a normal guy. I just happen to be one of his friends and a Formula 1 driver" Lando said hoping this would make you feel a bit better. "I should go home... I can't live with the fact that he's there probably mad at me. I mean I have to face him sooner or later, so it better be now" you say. Lando couldn't help but feel really bad. "I'm going with you. I hate to see you like this and I want to make sure everything is going to be alright. In the end I also have some explaining to do" Lando says and grabs his coat as well. You smiled. Lando was the sweetest person you had ever met, you didn't have to tell Max that. The only thing you had to do was to convince Max that nothing bad would happen if Lando and you were dating.
