St. Edwards is a world of golden opportunities and silver spoons. For Oscar, it's a battlefield. Armed only with a scholarship and a dream to change his life, Oscar tries to stay invisible. But invisibility is impossible when your roommate is Lando-charismatic, popular, and the person who inadvertently turns Oscar's life into a living hell by leaking his secrets to the wrong people. What starts as a cruel game of social survival quickly turns into something far more dangerous. As the bullying pushes Oscar to his breaking point, Lando begins to see the cracks in the boy he's supposed to hate. Between shared silences in their dorm room and stolen glances on the soccer pitch, a forbidden connection starts to spark. Lando was the one who started the fire, but now he's the only one who wants to put it out. To love Oscar, Lando will have to betray the only world he's ever known. To love Lando, Oscar will have to find the strength to forgive the boy who almost destroyed him. In a school built on status, their love is the ultimate rebellion.

<^ Oscar piastri moved to Britain when he was 15. However, in this school was different. It was almost like an American tv show in there. You had the football team, the captain who was a man whore and just so happened to be named, Lando Norris. Oscar didn't speak much. Mostly because he was an Aussie in a British school, he got bullied a lot. Mainly by said football captain. IN OTHER WORDS THE LANDOSCAR BULLY/NERD WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR ^>

Oscar Piastri was never supposed to matter. Quiet. Precise. Sharp. He moved through the world like a straight line-disciplined, steady, predictable. He didn't chase anyone. He didn't flirt. He didn't smile unless necessary. And yet, he kept finding Lando. A chocolate bar left on a desk. A sticky note in looping handwriting. A soft voice beside Lando's ear. "This is for you. Eat, please." Lando hated it. Hated the way Oscar seemed to anticipate his next move. Hated the hand that appeared just to shield him from bumping into corners. Hated the look in Oscar's eyes-slow, deliberate, almost gentle. One afternoon, under a sunlit tree, Oscar said, "Your star hairclip suits you. You look cute today." No one had ever watched Lando that closely. No one had seen past the showmanship, past the bravado. He pulled away. Snapped. Ran. Heart pounding, throat tight. And Oscar? He stayed. Patient. Quiet. Collecting the pieces of Lando's chaos like it was natural. The strangest thing, when others got too close to Oscar, Lando stiffened. His tone sharpened. "Why him? He doesn't even look at you properly." Oscar's voice was soft, patient. "Lando, why do you care?" "I... I don't. Just forget it," Lando muttered, looking away. He didn't care. But Oscar kept choosing him. In small ways, unnoticed ways, the kind that made Lando's chest tighten. If Oscar was pretending, Lando's heart might not survive. But if he wasn't, then maybe Lando was already falling. Hard. And he wasn't sure he wanted to stop.

Oscar has two rules: Protect Amelie at all costs, and never let anyone close enough to leave again. At twenty-four, Oscar Piastri's life is a routine of silence and survival. Abandoned by his partner shortly after their daughter was born, he has built a fortress around his heart. He is a brilliant lawyer and a devoted father, but inside, he is frozen. When his old friends Charles and Max offer him a lifeline-a job and a fresh start in sunny Monaco-Oscar accepts, desperate for a change. He expects hard work and a quiet life. He does not expect Lando. Lando is Amelie's new kindergarten teacher. He is loud, chaotic, overwhelmingly affectionate, and wears his heart on his sleeve-everything Oscar is not. And while Amelie instantly falls in love with her colourful new teacher, Oscar finds himself terrified by the warmth Lando tries to force into his life. Lando is determined to melt the ice around the single dad's heart. But Oscar is convinced that everything good eventually leaves. Can a preschool teacher with too much energy teach a broken lawyer that some people are actually meant to stay?

In Formula 1, everything is measured in tenths. Wins. Losses. Mistakes. The space between holding on and losing control. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri know exactly how thin that margin is. On track, they are teammates, rivals, and the two strongest weapons McLaren has in a title fight that demands everything from them. Off track, they are something far more dangerous: unfinished, unspoken, and already too deep in something neither of them knows how to survive cleanly. What begins as reckless chemistry becomes impossible to contain once it starts meaning more than either of them wants to admit. Because wanting is one thing. Letting it change you is another. And in a sport built on control, precision, and public image, there is no room for the kind of feelings that throw everything off balance. But distance doesn't fix it. Winning doesn't drown it out. And every race weekend forces them back into the same rooms, the same silences, the same impossible choice between protecting themselves and giving in. Because when everything is measured in tenths, it doesn't take much to ruin a life. Or fall in love.

Fast Hearts, Faster Hands - A LandOscar Story In the high-stakes world of Formula 1, milliseconds decide everything - reputations, rivalries, world championships. For teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, speed has always been simple. Feelings are not. When the new season begins, the pressure is suffocating. The team needs results. The paddock whispers about tension in the garage. But somewhere between late-night debriefs, lingering glances over telemetry screens, and hands brushing in the rush before lights out, Oscar realises his biggest risk isn't Turn One - it's Lando. Falling for your best friend is complicated. Falling for your team mate and rival? Dangerous. As victories slip through their fingers and the title fight tightens, every overtake feels personal, every radio message loaded. Team orders threaten to tear them apart. Sponsors demand perfection. The world watches for cracks. Loving each other could cost them everything they've worked for - or become the very thing that makes them unstoppable. Because in Formula 1, you need fast hearts to survive. But do you need faster hands to hold on? Can love and ambition share the same cockpit - or will one of them have to lift?

This story focuses on Lando and Oscar, on their relationship and on what develops between them-through tension, unspoken thoughts, and moments that are not always easy to interpret in a simple or straightforward way. There won't be alternative dynamics beyond this: everything revolves around the two of them, and the way they observe each other, avoid each other, and come closer without ever fully understanding one another. "LANDO'S POV" My breathing changes slightly. I notice it immediately. Shorter. More conscious. His eyes stay on me. Steady. Then they drop, just for a moment. Too quick for me to be completely sure... but enough for me to notice. His lips. I swallow lightly. I shouldn't be thinking about it. I shouldn't even register it. And yet I do. I take another half step. And the thought comes, clear and unfiltered: Kiss him. And right after it, almost overlapping: Push him away. I stay still. Stuck exactly at the point where I don't know which version of myself to choose. Oscar is still looking at me. And for a moment, I have the distinct feeling that he knows. Not what I'm thinking. But that I'm thinking something I'm not saying. And that awareness tightens something in my stomach that's hard to ignore. I don't look away. I don't want to. And I remain there, still, suspended between what I should do... and what I actually want to do.
