You loved your job more than anything- you could even say that you were married to it. Being able to combine your two passions into one singular job was quite literally a dream but it was incredibly demanding and exhausting as well.
It was your first job within F1 and any experiences you had gotten before didn’t prepare you for the amount of work you’d have. The good thing was that work didn’t discourage you when it was something you were truly passionated about.
In all honesty, it felt like you were never stopping, when you weren’t taking pictures during the weekends, you needed to work on uploading them to your laptop, sorting them all, editing them when it was needed and finally, you’d send them to the medias managers.
If you had to be honest, it wasn’t rare to find you awake at 3 am, still glued on your laptop. It was your first season working for an F1 team, while it had been months since you started working for McLaren, you were still struggling to get used to the countless of flights from a country to another.
While it hadn’t been too much of an issue until recently, it seemed like your lack of sleep combined with the jet lags were starting to take a toll on you. But as long as it didn’t affect your work, you could deal with that, at least that’s what you kept saying to yourself.
It wasn’t a rare sight to find you yawning or rubbing your eyes, sometimes you would mix up some words too but that happened only when you could barely keep your eyes open, just like today.
Yesterday had been a good day for both McLarens which wasn’t something the whole team was used to- while it was only two practices, it lifted everyone spirits and made you all hope for a good weekend. The weather had also been good, which allowed you to take a good amount of pictures- you didn’t get more than two hours of sleep that night
And today, it was easily noticeable, showing up with your dark sunglasses to hide your lack of sleep was already a hint at your sleepless night but what truly gave it away was how you were stumbling over your own words. Everyone in the garage noticed it but none of them said anything, they knew how dedicated to your work you were.
However, Daniel wasn’t seeing it this way anymore, he was worried for you and your health- it couldn’t keep going like this, you needed a break and a good amount of sleep. Thankfully, next week wasn’t a racing one, he was hoping to convince you to take a small break to finally rest.
When you saw Daniel coming to you with a frown on his face instead of his big gummy smile, you knew it was going to be about your tiredness, “ hey Danny, that wasn’t too bad for the last practice, how do you feel about quali?”
“ Don’t know, hopefully we can make it to Q3. But that’s not what I want to talk about right now.”
“ I know.”
“ You know I hate when you don’t get sleep, it’s not good for you.”
You sighed, knowing how right he was, but you couldn’t really help it when you were caught up by work, you didn’t see the hours go by, “ it’s okay, i’m fine. I’ll get some sleep tonight.”
Daniel didn’t seem to be convinced in the slightest, hell he wasn’t sure you would be able to stay awake until the evening, “ bullshit, let’s go take a nap right now.”
“ What? You literally have quali in like three hours!”
Daniel shrugged, his smile finally appearing on his face again, “ I don’t care about it, what matters is that you get some rest.”
“ Maybe you can do that but I’m going to be in trouble if someone finds out I was taking a nap instead of working.
“ No one will know, besides my driver’s room is private so there’s no chance of someone seeing us.”
As you were going to argue back again, Daniel loudly sighed, which stopped you from speaking, “ god, you’re even more stubborn than me! But you know what? I’m not giving you a choice, we’re going to take that nap.”
Daniel was lucky you loved him, otherwise you would have kept arguing until he was the one giving up- but with Daniel, it was hard, how could someone resists his smile and lovely personality.
A small nod in agreement was enough for Daniel to grab your arm and lead you out of the garage, heading to the McLaren’s facility- you had barely the time to grab your bag containing your trusty camera and tools you used, you never left it somewhere far from you, afraid someone would accidentally drop your expensive materials.
You had barely secured your bag on your shoulders that Daniel took it from you, insisting that you didn’t have to carry the heavy bag. In the meantime, the hand he hand on your arm slid down until he was holding your hand, leading you to his driver’s room.
It was quite a short walk, especially since no one came in your way to talk or ask questions. As soon as you were in his room, Daniel put your bag in a corner of the room- it wasn’t big but enough to still feel comfortable in the room.
“ Do you want me to leave? Or should I stay? What do you prefer?”
You softly smiled, you were touched that he wanted to be sure you were comfortable with him being around, “ it’s your room Danny and people will ask more questions if I stay here alone.”
“ Fair enough, do you, like, want to change in something more comfortable?”
“ I didn’t bring any change, it’ll be fine like that.”
“ Well, I do have the clothes I came with, I barely worn them and my sweater is very comfortable.”
You laughed at how cute Daniel was but also at his poor attempt to make you wear his merch, “ are you trying to sell me your merch?”
“ Never, I’d give it to you for free.”
You weren’t too sure what to say besides being thankful for him and his kindness,“ yeah, your sweater sounds nice to sleep in.”
Daniel directly went to his locker and took out his white enchanté sweater- as soon as he gave it to you, he turned around to give you enough privacy to change in a more comfortable outfit to sleep.
“ You didn’t lie- it’s really comfy, I love it.”
Daniel turned back to you, guessing it meant you were done changing, the sweater was a bit too long for you but it gave it a cute look that Daniel loved, “ it looks better on you than on me.”
“ I might have to steal it from you.”
“ I don’t mind as long as you go to sleep now, else you won’t have enough time to rest.”
“ Okay, okay,” as you slipped under the blanket of the bed, you noticed how hesitating Daniel was, probably not wanting to overstep, “ join me?”
“ Are you sure?”
“ Of course.”
Daniel didn’t think twice before joining you in the bed, which wasn’t huge but still large enough for two people, yet he almost instantly opened his arms, offering you cuddles to fall asleep.
Basically rolling yourself into his arms, you smiled at how comfortable this was- being able to peacefully fall asleep, safely wrapped in strong but gentle arms, “ thank you.”
Daniel didn’t answer- he didn’t have to. However, to let you know he heard you, he laid a kiss on the top your head, enjoying the moment as much as you did, maybe even more.
Unlike you, who fell asleep minutes later, Daniel stayed awake for a while, smiling to himself at how peaceful you looked while sleeping in his arms. He liked having you in his arms and he would be lying if he denied wishing this could happen every nights.
He knew you couldn’t help it, you had gotten used to prioritize your work over your sleep- he respected the passion that fueled you every single day but it wasn’t healthy anymore. Daniel promised himself to do everything he could to change that.

Hi 🫶🏻 I was wondering if you would be able to please write a Lewis story where you get increasingly insecure about your weight to the point that it starts to put you at mental and physical risk, and Lewis is there to help you through it?
Like I was thinking that you’ve always had insecurities about your weight considering you’re not on the super skinny side of the scale, but it’s only gotten worse since you’ve been dating Lewis. Even though he always made you feel beautiful and loved by him, you aren’t immune to the hurtful remarks you see online or the looks you get when you’re seen with your boyfriend… and the public criticism along with your own self-doubts makes you unable to shake the nagging feeling that he belongs with someone who “looks better than you.” So you start to excessively work out and spend less time taking care of yourself — even if it means eating less, sleeping less, etc. Lewis starts to notice how unwell you’re looking and how much you’ve strangely become obsessed with exercising, but you keep brushing him off and insisting you’re fine… until finally he comes home one to find you either really sick or maybe even injured and barely conscious after passing out on one of the exercising machines. And after Lewis takes care of you, he addresses the issue with you, gives you comfort and reassurances, and ultimately helps you get the help you need 🥺💗
(If you don’t feel comfortable with writing this due to the sensitive topic, then no worries at all! Feel free to just ignore this ask. Either way, I love your writing and always look forward to anything you write <3)
First of all, thank you for enjoying my writing and always looking forwards to anything I post- it means a lot.
I don’t mind writing your request, sadly it’s a topic that I know way too well, I hope it’ll be helpful to someone reading this. <3
