(Oscar's POV)

I took a deep breath in and out, in and out, before finally hitting post. I turned my phone off and slid it across the room, not wanting to be near it anymore. It's going to be fine Oscar, stop worrying.

In an attempt to take my mind off it, I pulled out my list of exercises that my coach had lined out for me. Now that the start of the season was nearing, he had decided to take a short holiday. Something about knowing he was going to have to deal with me for way too long. Not really sure why that would be a bad thing but he was clearly very excited about going.

I stretched before beginning the fairly long list. Squats, sit-ups, push-ups, jumping jacks. That's as far as I got before I gave up. I wasn't thinking straight, and I knew if I kept going, I would hurt myself... or at least that's what I'm going to tell my trainer. I began to walk in the direction of my bedroom, knowing that showering would be an equally good distraction.

Just as I was about to walk into the hallway, I stopped. My eyes found my phone still lying on the ground, waiting to be picked up. Not yet Oscar. I shook my head and kept walking.

I stepped out of the shower and grabbed my towel. That was exactly what I needed; to wipe my mind clear of all my thoughts and just relax. I dried myself as best as I could, ran the towel over my hair and hung it back up. I twisted the door handle open, the cold metal a sharp wake up call against my warm hand. I pulled my ensuite door open and placed one foot out the door before looking up... straight into Logan Sargeant's eyes.

Logan's eyes widened and he jolted into a sitting position from where he had been stretched out across my bed. I, on the other hand, handled it much worse. I simply screamed, turned around and slammed the door shut behind me. I grabbed the towel back down and wrapped it tightly around my waist before re-entering the room.

"Logan! What are you doing in my room? Or my house for that matter?"

"You gave me a spare key. Don't you remember?" Logan frowned at me as I ducked into my closet.

"Yeah. For emergencies. Not for you to lie on my bed." I called back.

"Ok, fine. I'm sorry. I did knock but you didn't answer so I let myself in. I feel like this is an emergency anyway. I have to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Are you gay?" I chuckled at his bluntness.

"Now what would make you say that?"

"This," Logan thrust his phone out for me to look at, so I moved towards him. I hadn't had time to put a t-shirt on yet, but Logan seemed eager to find out my answer so it could wait.

I took the phone from Logan's hand and studied the Instagram post he had open. I skipped over the photo at the top before moving to the caption.

This is a big thing for me. I know it isn't exactly the norm for F1 or the feeder series, but I think it's time I announce it. Hi, my name is Oscar Piastri, I'm 19 from Melbourne, Australia, I'm a Renault Junior Driver, I'm driving in F2 this year for Prema Racing and I'm gay. I've known this since I was a teenager, but I was always told that I would never get to F1 if I came out. I want to be honest with my fans and stay true to myself so that's why I'm saying this now.

-Oscar✌💛

I scrolled up to the photo of me of waving my pride flag and smiled gently. I looked away from the phone and back at Logan whose eyes were quite happily roaming my torso.

"Logan? You good there?"

"Y-yes," His face turning bright red didn't exactly convince me of his answer.

"Firstly, why would I post that if I wasn't gay? Second, I thought you already knew?"

"I don't know. Maybe you got hacked. Either way I wanted to check with you, and you weren't answering my calls."

"My phone's off. But yes, I'm gay. Can we go back to the part where I thought you already knew?"

"Why would I have already known?"

"Are you kidding Logan? We've been flirting for the past year. Unless I seriously misunderstood..."

"No no no. We have. But I thought you were just doing it in a platonic way," Logan tried to reassure me but failed miserably.

"Logan. Do you think I say those things to everyone?" Logan slightly hesitated before nodding his head.

"Do you think I walk up to Marcus and say, 'Hey baby', then hug him?"

"I mean not really but he's dating Callum so that doesn't count," Logan argued.

"Fine. Do you think I say to Guanyu and say, 'You know, I like your outfit, but it would look much better on the floor', wink and walk away?"

"Ok, ok, I get your point. I'm an oblivious idiot. I think I just kinda refused to believe you would return my feelings."

"Wait. You have feelings for me?" My whole body tingled with happiness.

"Uh, yes? I thought that was obvious...."

"Then I guess I have to repeat nearly your exact sentence. I'm an oblivious idiot. I didn't think you felt the same way."

Logan smiled gently at me before stepping closer until he could wrap his arms around my waist and pull me close.

"We're both oblivious idiots." I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his head down to mine. I nudged his nose with mine.

"Then let me make it clear. I'm Oscar Piastri and I'm gay. I also have very strong feelings for a certain Logan Sargeant." Logan's face lit up like a kid at Christmas.

"I'm Logan Sargeant and I'm very happy right now because I'm holding my future boyfriend in my arms."

"Future boyfriend, hey?"

"Yep, I just have to take you out on a date first."

"Or you could kiss me right now and we could organise this later," I smiled cheekily at him. He didn't reply. Instead, he moved his head down and joined our lips. His lips against mine felt like heaven. This should have happened a long time ago. Logan pulled away and whispered slightly out of breath,

"I've wanted to do that since we first met."

"Me too," I muttered back before kissing him once more. This definitely wasn't what I thought was going to happen today but I wasn't mad. 

Author's Note:

Sorry updates haven't been very regular. Life is absolute chaos at the moment but I'm trying my best. I don't think this is quite what the requestor wanted but once I got this idea I just couldn't get it out of my head. I hope you like it! Thanks for reading :)
