fake date + lando norris
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In which Lando helps you piss of your ex boyfriend by acting like your fake new boyfriend.
one shot inspired by something i saw on wattpad a loooong time ago + a bit of a abusive ex & not proof read
masterlist - playlist
“You want to piss him of properly?” Lando asks you. 
You simply nod. Of course you want to piss of your ex. He cheated on you after all. A bit of revenge would make you feel a lot better. When you think about what he did to you, you’re quick to feel annoyed again. Maybe you weren’t together for a long time, but still. You don’t cheat on someone. 
“He hated me you know,” Lando says, “I don’t really know why.”
He’s referring to your ex again. What Lando says is the truth. Your ex hated Lando. He always thought Lando would steal you away from him. Right before the end of your relationship you even started to hope Lando would do so. Your ex didn’t like how close you and Lando are. He didn’t understand the meaning of friends since childhood. Now you think about it, it makes you even more mad. He always accused you of cheating on him with Lando, but the dick cheated on you himself. 
“He didn’t like our friendship,” you explain to Lando, “and he accused me of cheating on him with you all the time.” 
“Why didn’t you say so?” Lando asks you confused, “I could have helped you deny it.” 
“I didn’t want to bring you in my problems,” you reply. 
“Don’t ever do that again,” Lando sighs, “We’re friends y/n. I’ll always help you if I can.”
“Maybe you can help me figure out something to piss him off?” You ask Lando, getting back to your earlier subject. “I know for sure he’s at the same club tonight as we are,” you explain, “and I’m not in the mood for talking with him so I need to show him I’m off limits.” 
When you look at Lando you notice the devious way his eyes start to sparkle. You know for a fact that he’s coming up with a plan right now. 
“What if I pretend that we’re together?” Lando asks you, “That would make him mad.” 
You smile. “That’s a great plan!” You say happily. 
***
Lando is already acting like a true gentleman. When he picked you up for your gathering with your friends, he complimented your outfit multiple times. You’re a bit more dressed up then normally. Although you don’t want your ex back, you do want to show him what he’s missing right now. You’re wearing a tight dark blue dress that’s showing of your curves amazingly. You remember when you brought this dress and your ex was obsessed with it, only to tell you later that you couldn’t wear it because it was slutty. Now you look back at the whole relationship, you don’t even know why you dated him. Maybe it was just easy? Maybe you just wanted a boyfriend? And really maybe you needed a distraction to forget about your feelings for your best friend. Not that this fake dating thing is helping with forgetting about your feelings for Lando. 
Your motives for the relationship weren’t the best, but at least you didn’t cheat. You always gave the full hundred percent for the relationship. 
Before you can open the door of the luxurious McLaren that Lando used to pick you up with, Lando is rushing to your side of the car. Is he opening the door for you? He actually is. You feel butterflies flattering in your whole body. You know for a fact that your cheeks are turning red right now. 
Lando gives you his hand to help you get out of his sport car. 
“Thanks Lan,” you say.
“No problem babe,” Lando is quick to reply, “I’m just doing what a good boyfriend will do.” 
That’s when you remind that everything is fake. Fuck. This is going to be a difficult night, but you’ll enjoy every tiny bit of it. Together the both of you walk inside the club. It doesn’t take too long before you find your friends. Lando is walking right behind you when you’re walking towards them, his hand is on your back. 
“I’m so glad you still came!” One of your friends tells you excited, “I thought you would ditch because of your ex.” 
“Yeah, I doubted for a bit.. but I can’t stop having fun because of that dick,” you reply with a small grin. 
“And maybe we made a small plan to annoy him a bit,” Lando adds, after that he’s quick to fill in your friends of the plan you guys made. Your girl friends love the idea, but you notice that Max is sending Lando some weird looks. It doesn’t take long for Lando and Max to disappear for drinks. 
“What are you doing mate?” Max asks Lando confused, “Do you think fake dating her is making your crush go away?” 
“I know, I know,” Lando sighs, “but I wanted to help her.”
“You’re an idiot,” Max says.
“Maybe she will see me as date potential if I treat her right the whole night?” Lando asks hopefully. 
“Maybe she thinks you have no feelings for her because you can easily fake date her,” Max replies. 
“Maybe she will like me after tonight?” Lando continues.
“This is the worst plan you’ve ever made and I know quite a few other terrible plans of yours,” Max says a bit annoyed, “I don’t know why you just confess to her.” 
“Maybe because her ex just cheated on her and she just got out of a bad relationship?” Lando says even annoyed as his friend, “Besides I think it was a lot worse then we already thought. I don’t want to push her into something new if she’s not ready and I don’t want to fuck up our friendship.” 
Max sighs and shakes his head. “Such an idiot,” he mutters again. 
In the mean time you’re talking with one of your best friends about the plan you and Lando came up with. Without you knowing you’re having a similar conversation to Max and Lando. 
When Lando slides his arm around your waist and hands you a drink, you can’t help to notice that you’re starting to blush again. How would it feel if he was your real boyfriend you wonder. You bet it would be amazing. 
“I think I just saw him,” one of your friends says suddenly. You turn around a bit to the direction your friend is looking. She’s right. You spot your ex boyfriend. 
“Let the show begin,” Lando says with a small smile. He pulls you a bit closer to himself, causing your body to crash into his. It feels warm and comfortable. 
When you finished your drink, Lando is quick to take you to the dance floor with him. You enjoy yourself on the dance floor with Lando. His hands are touching you everywhere. At one point they reach so low that Lando is almost touching your ass. You hope he actually does. Fuck this is bad. At one point a slower song starts, Lando is quick to pull you against himself once again. Together you slowly dance. 
“I fucking knew it!” 
There’s your ex. He grabs your arm and pulls you away from Lando. Lando is quick to react, slapping the hand of your ex boyfriend away and getting you back to himself. You notice the way he’s balding his fists already. When you look at Lando you see his angry glaze. Is this still an act? You didn’t knew Lando could act this well. He actually seems really angry right now. 
“Don’t touch her,” Lando says angrily. 
“Or what mate?” Your ex replies even angrily, “I should hit her for lying to me all this time!” 
“Lying?” Lando asks. You notice his fake dumb tone. 
“She was cheating on me with you!” Your ex exclaims. 
“I was not!” You reply madly. 
“We just got together last week,” Lando states, “and I have to thank you for that mate. If you didn’t cheated on her, it would take me a lot longer to finally convince her.” 
“Oh shut up,” you ex replies, “she’s a cheating whore.” 
“Don’t call her that again,” Lando groans. 
“Oh you’re going to tell me she’s not? You think she’s some sort of amazing person?” Your ex asks mockingly.
“Yeah, actually I am. I’ve been in love with her for the longest time, you know. Do you even realize what it did to me to see how you’re treated her? Do you know how often she came crying to me because of you?” Lando starts to speech towards your ex, “She’s the best thing that ever happened to me and you tried taking that away. Do you know how hard it was for me to see her all sad instead of being her happy self?” 
Is Lando still faking things? His words feel way too real. You feel a few tears coming up. This is too sweet. 
“And now I finally have her back,” Lando continues, “and she’s finally mine. So thank you mate for fucking up the best thing you ever had, so I can treat her properly now. What she deserves.” 
“You don’t get it man,” your ex replies after a bit, “She’s a fucking whore. Just wait till you see it and you will treat her even worse. I was a fucking sweetheart to her.” 
Lando doesn’t react verbally this time. You watch in shock when Lando bals his fist again and throws a punch straight on the face of your ex. Your ex is quick to react. Before you know it you’re standing in the middle of a fight. 
What the fuck is going on?
This was not what you meant with pissing him off properly. 
It doesn’t take long for security to break up the fight. Lando is quickly thrown outside of the club, no one cares about his name or the story. Lando started it, so he needs to leave apparently. You’re quick to follow him outside, but before you can turn your back your ex says one more thing.
“Don’t come back crying to me when you realize I was the better option.”
“Oh fuck off!” You scream annoyed, “I love him you idiot. I never loved you like I love him.”
After saying those words, you’re quick to hurry outside to Lando. When you see him you’re in shock. You notice a small blood stain on his collar. Then you see his nose, which is also bleeding. 
“Fuck Lando,” you mutter, “this went way too far. I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t be,” Lando says, “I’d do it again in no time.”
“You’re crazy,” you tell him, “you didn’t have to defend me like that.”
You sit down next to Lando on the sidewalk. Lando is quick to put his arm around your shoulders.
“I’m so sorry you went through that,” Lando tells you, “I should have noticed earlier that he was toxic.” 
“Don’t say that,” you sigh, “you just got beaten up for me.” 
“It felt great punching him,” Lando says with a small smile. You let out a soft chuckle. 
“You’re the best friend I could have ever wished for,” you confess to Lando, “I don’t know what I would do without you.”
“That feeling is mutual babe.”
You notice the nickname again. You’re not in the same room as your ex anymore, so why is Lando still pretending? 
Before you can say anything about it, Lando tells you it’s time to go home. When you look at him again you see the bruises his face are already covered with. You wonder how it will look tomorrow. Thank god it isn’t race week, the questions about this will be awful. 
You and Lando are quiet in the car. Both of you are thinking about everything that happened tonight. When Lando puts his hand on your thigh while riding, you almost jump up. This is new. He never does things like this. 
When you’re in the parking garage underneath Lando his apartment, Lando is quick to rush towards your door again. He opens it for you and helps you step out once again. 
What’s happening?
Lando doesn’t let go of your hand while walking towards the elevator and walkings towards his apartment after that. He drops it to find his keys inside of his wallet. 
“Are you still pretending that you’re my boyfriend Lan?” You ask jokingly. 
Lando looks at you. You notice his nervous look. Or are you imagining things? 
“What if I was never pretending?” Lando asks you then. 
“What do you mean?” You ask surprised.
“Maybe I want to be your real boyfriend and saw this as a dumb chance to show you what I’d have to offer you,” Lando confesses so quiet that you almost don’t hear him. 
“Maybe?” You ask him.
“Maybe I’ve been in love for you for a long time,” Lando continues.
You can’t stop smiling. 
“Maybe you have convinced me,” you tell him slowly.
Lando looks at you with a big smile.
“And maybe I’m also in love with you,” you confess.
It doesn’t take Lando longer then a second to press his lips on yours. You feel his soft lips on yours. This is a feeling you could get used to.  And you guess, you have every opportunity to get used to this. 
“I love you,” Lando tells you when he pulls back. 
“I love you too Lan,” you confess, “I only dated him to find a distraction from my crush on you.” 
Lando chuckles. “Please don’t ever do that again.”

i was thinking about how i wished leverage had a birthday episode for some of the characters cause that would be sweet, but then i realised something and basically…. okay here’s my thoughts in quotes form, just for fun
hardison: so when’s your birthday? i could plan something for us and the team to do and-
parker: i dont know
hardison: you don’t know… your own birthday?
parker: no, how would i know? pshh, cmon, you’re telling me you remember EXACTLY when you were born? watch this - hey, eliot, do you know your exact birth date?
eliot, innocently passing by, who was canonically anonymously dropped off at a hospital as an infant: no, how would i know?
parker: that’s what i said!
hardison: excuse me?? what is going on right now
sophie, walking into the apartment: whats wrong?
hardison: parker and eliot- well, okay, when’s your birthday? i just have to prove something.
sophie: …….july 12th
hardison: why did you pause? wait, is that your birthday or sophie devereaux’s birthday?
sophie: ………… (guilty silence)
parker: see, no one knows their real birthday! haha you’re so weird sometimes, hardison
hardison:
hardison: what the fuck guys
#leverageposting#wren speaks#leverage#parker leverage#alec hardison#nate knows his birthday i guess so i didn’t include him. if he was watching the whole time he would probably say ‘idk’ to mess w hardison#they’re having this convo in nate’s apartment but it’s like 3am & he’s asleep & they’ve all broken in to hang out#parker doesn’t know either bc of her ridiculously neglectful foster parents or bc she’s parker & her priorities are simply different to most#people. her birthday is irrelevant to thievery. and sadly probably not related to fun happy memories anyway.#sophie obviously is a good enough grifter to answer confidently but she feels a little bad abt lying to her family by now#meanwhile hardison had a normal foster nana who would have known his bday. most kids aren’t safe-surrendered like eliot so assumably#hardison would have a known bday. and he likes birthdays!#and he wants to throw parker a little party even if it’s a very unconventional parker bday that involves rappelling & jumping off buildings#but he is once again thwarted by the leverage team members having the strangest possible lives#he IS gonna give them each birthday parties tho. even if he has to make up some dates & stuff#sophie’s can be the fake date she gives if that’s what she rlly wants. nate’s real birthday is on file somewhere even if he’s being annoying#rn so hardison just has to do some basic hacking. eliot would have an approximate bday such as the day he was surrendered that his parents#would have celebrated throughout childhood. and parker’s would be april 1st bc that’s alice whites bday (and YOURE ALICE!!!)#as in it’s canonically in the online info abt alice white shown in the juror no.6 job & obvs that’s april fools so it’s funny :)#and hardison has a NORMAL bday unlike SOME ppl and yes he DOES expect presents you heathens!!

the thing about romcoms is just- it's never meant to be 'is it believable?' but instead 'do you believe it?' do you believe these two characters are actually falling in love with each other??? do you believe their chemistry??? do you believe whatever obstacle is thrown in their way is legitimately something that might keep them apart for a time and not something that could be solved with one conversation?? do you believe that they believe they need to fake date for this very specific reason??? do you believe the reason why they're 'enemies' at the start, no matter how silly a misunderstanding it may be??? do you believe the grand romantic gesture fits the characters and is actually how one character would show their love to the other?? like!!!! it's about empathy and authenticity and feeling what the characters feel so strongly that even if it's a trope or a cliché it doesn't matter because you believe it

It ain’t fiction, just a natural fact
She nearly choked on her champagne. “You’re going to be on MTV?”
“Sweetheart, we are going to be on MTV,” he corrected her, tilting his glass towards her awestruck expression.

Okay imma say it right now because some people do not get it!!
Being queer is not a choice, but you’re not necessarily “born this way”.
I was a gay man up until the age of 12. I loved boys and I was a boy. Now though? I don’t like people. I’m happier than ever. And it wasn’t a choice I made to just stop liking people. My body just decided not to be attracted to anyone anymore. And that’s okay. If in the future I like boys again, that’s okay too. I was born queer, but my queer identity will never be the same my whole life, and that’s okay :)

favorite steddie trope ?
See, I used to not be a fan of fake dating at all, but the idea of Steve bringing Eddie home for dinner and introducing him as his boyfriend just to piss his dad off just gets me. Because I just know Eddie would not hold back, he would not put on a facade, he would not try to suck up, he would be unabashedly Eddie and that's why Steve would pick him.

hey, wait. i have a distressing thought here.
you know how, in you and i, jason has to comfort peter that It's All Just A Game? and directly after that, peter like, just directly says, "i know he wants to be the american dream. i know he wants a trophy bride, kids, a dog, a picket fence. i don't know how i'm supposed to fit into that."
and it's like... i doubt this insecurity came from nowhere. like, yeah, of course peter knows jason this well, of course he does--but also. do you think ivy was even the first girl jason went out with? you know???
#wynn speaks#bare: a pop opera#do you think jason dating ivy--a Friend TM in their Friend Group TM--was the last straw???#do you think jason's popularity status comes from not only being a Charismatic A+ Jock but also from having dated a couple of girls??#like this changes the whole fucking thing for me. what if jason's relationship with ivy was not his first comphet relationship.#what if for the both of them this was the relationship that shook up the script they were used to when it came to dating. guys#am i going crazy?? am i going crazy???? does this make any sense???? i have no idea this just came to me. help#also the PAIN of watching ur boyfriend be in a Fake Relationship TM that he plays out to be a Real Relationship TM over and over again#and having to be ok with it bc it's jason's way of staying in the closet no matter how homophobically. can you fucking imagine.#just girl after girl filling the role of Girlfriend and peter's here like. playing the role of Best Friend.#and he's like. literally his boyfriend. he's like yeah idk how to feel abt being the queer subtext in ur real-time autobiography jason#ok i need to stop editing the tags repeatedly but like.#the girl saying ''jason--did you lose my number?'' in you and i#and then jason doesn't call ivy back during spring break#there's a terrible implication here that jason doesn't even break up with girls#that ivy is the first time he's realized that the way he treats women as a prop to Perform Straightness is like...#harmful to an actual human person...#heeeelp...

was watching tiktok and a video had the song michael in the bathroom playing and I was vicerally reminded of being in middle and high school and mom always mentioning how much I looked like my dad (his name is michael) and how I slowly was able to start noticing it too and whenever I sang the song it reminded me of him and I felt like we were overlapping too often felt like id never be anyone but a shadow or his mirror and then i began learning i was trans and now the song makes me think of him even more (he’s not a bad dad he tells me he’s proud of me and stuff there’s just two really big moments he unknowingly failed and one long continuous one but he loves me and he’s proud and he supports me and he didn’t mean it and ive learned to make that enough) and the weird flashback I got when I heard that song and overlapping with his face and how if I transitioned I almost fear I’d be his clone and yeah Anywyas banger song
#the moments were that time he told me how he used to want something to be wrong with him and he’d cut himself to try and prove something was#and he showed me his incredibly faint scars and this was after I told them I was depressed and his solution was to tell me he faked it????#and didn’t even see anything wrong or worrying that he’d cut himself or was self destructive or wished something was wrong so he’d have#something to blame for being the way he was and like DAD THATS DEPRESSION but I was too numb and shocked and felt so so so betrayed becuase#it felt mocking at the time like his way of comforting me. his child. was to fucking show me his scars and be like I faked it so I know#it’s real and sorry I don’t understand WTF DAD#Other time was when he gave me his phone to play Pokémon go and I betrayed his trust (he didn’t like anyone going through his phone) and#went looking through and found Grindr and saw some shirtless photos and people messaging before I left#dad had a shirtlesss photo on there. and I had to pretend everything was fine and erase the evidence and give the phone back and help look#for furniture for our new house and never tell mom cause she’s been through so much already (I really shouldn’t have known I wasn’t her#therapist but this is about daddy issues right now not the mommy ones) so anyways I never told him and years later he told me his friends#signed him up for Grindr as a prank and to make friends and that’s why he thinks someone from his work I pranking him by signing him up#for a gay furry dating site and yet I saw him on his bed sometimes messaging people and yeah#oh and the long continous one was not divorcing mom and defending her saying she loves us when she rejected me and my sister for being trans#and being gone for most of my childhood working and never understanding the fucked up dynamic of home that took place and resenting him for#ruining the perfect routine (sharp words scary feelings always wanting to cry)#anyways michael in the bathroom always gives me weird feelings#cause I hate and love my dad and I looked up to him so much and loooking like him would’ve been a dream but sometiems the wrongs he did#come back haunt my thoughts and I want to scratch and tear apart every feature that makes me look like him. I look nothing like my mom so#there’s nothing physical to tear apart (I just act like her sometimes and have to force myself not the throw up and attack myself from the#disgust)
