What's their relationship? Definitely not lovers.

Can the relationship they built to satisfy their desires continue forever? Or will their craving for what they cannot have destroy them both?

McLaren's Australian driver, 𝐎𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑 𝐏𝐈𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈, is struggling with the fact that he is gay; the only people who know are his three nosey sisters.

Oscar grins, oblivious to the storm inside Lando, the smile that lights up his face like a knife to Lando's chest. Oscar: "Couldn't have done it without you, mate." Yet every time Oscar pulls out his phone to text Lily, it cuts deeper. The woman who's stolen the place Lando secretly wanted for himself. He can't compete with her. He doesn't even want to try-he just wants to keep Oscar in his life, even if it's at a distance. Lando (to himself): "He's happy with her. I can't ruin that. But God, it hurts so much." As Oscar heads off to meet Lily, Lando smiles through the pain, burying his feelings even deeper. The ache of unspoken love becomes unbearable with every passing day. But he hides it all-because being close to Oscar is the only thing keeping him together. Oscar (calling late at night): "Hey, I miss hanging out with you. Lily's great, but we haven't had a proper hang in a while." Lando's heart skips, but he knows the truth. There's no room for him in Oscar's life, not when Lily is already there. Lando: "I'm good, man. Don't worry about me." Lando is caught between the love he'll never have and the friendship he's too afraid to lose. Between Shadows and Sunlight is a poignant story of unrequited love, loyalty, and the price of silence.

Lando is a florist in Harlow Street, a close community town, and Oscar is the new tattoo artist that caught his attention. Or, "Hello." An accented voice came from behind Lando. "Hello," Lando responded meekly, like a child caught drawing on the walls. He didn't turn around just yet, already eager to plan his escape before the unknown figure could see his face. "It doesn't bite, by the way- the bike, that is- although, it was entertaining to watch you jump a mile. It won't hurt you." He recognised the accent immediately; there was only so much hanging around Daniel you could do before you became accustomed to an Australian's way of language. "Could've fooled me," Lando scoffed. "That orange is enough to scar someone's eyes. Someone could probably claim against that." "I don't know about that, but sure." The man gave a small laugh.
