Lancey and his Lilybug – ls.18
stepdad!Lance Stroll
word count: 2990
summary: The day Lance realised he will never be dad to his baby.
Tumblr media
Lance knew Lily wasn’t his. He knew. He reminded himself of it every day to see if, by force of repetition, he would memorize it.
But nothing seemed to work when he came back home to her steps running down the stairs.
So he forgot. Or maybe he ignored the truth.
He forgot while he was playing dolls with her. He forgot during bathtime when the whole bathroom was covered in bubbles and marks of the Bathroom Crayons they had just bought. He forgot when the food her mother had cooked for them was her least favorite –even if it was her favorite last week– and they had to play flights with it so she would eat it. He forgot while he was driving and could only think about home. And he forgot when she would wake them up at night time so she could sleep between them, even if he had an early morning waiting for him.
He forgot most of the time.
However, he couldn’t forget it this time. At that moment, Lance couldn’t pretend to ignore the truth any longer.
Lily wasn’t his daughter, she would never be.
Even with his ring on her mom’s finger and their names in the housing registry he bought.
Even if he was the one she called when she was sick.
Lance wasn’t her real dad. His name wasn’t on the list. And nothing will change it. Not even his father's last name.
“I am really sorry Mr. Stroll, but only the immediate family can enter the intensive care unit. I understand your frustration, but there is nothing I can about about it” said the nurse again.
“Listen, if this is about money…” his father kept going but Lance was no longer listening.
The corridor that separated them, which became increasingly endless, was now his only breathing space. As he walked through it he could only think that Lily was not his. Which was curious when he thought about how much time he had spent ignoring that detail.
Lily was in there and he could only be out there.
When only a door separated them, Lance stood in front of the small glass. Through it, he could only see another white hallway and a doctor passing by, but he still didn't dare to look away.
He knew if father was calling him, but he couldn’t take his eyes off the crystal. The nurse had allowed him to stand them as long as he didn’t try trespassing and he was going to take advantage of that piece of mercy as much as he could.
“Son”, his father tried again.
And that word made Lance want to fall to the ground and stay there till it all stopped.
Son. He was someone’s one. Just like Lily was someone's daughter.
But not his. Never his.
She was the daughter of someone who wasn’t even going to come see her. And he was the son of someone who would have to live with the knowledge that his granddaughter would never have his last name.
“She will be alright. You heard your fiancée. She will be fine.”
But his father hadn’t seen the state the car was in.
He had not had to drive faster than the legal speed to reach a car that was destroyed and from which his family was being taken.
He had not been separated from his family at the door of a hospital because they were nothing of his.
His father had always been there with him. He had always been at the foot of his children's beds. He had always held their hands when they needed him most. Even when it was just a chipped tooth.
Lance couldn’t even see her through a window.
He could just stare at an empty hallway and wait.
And wait he did. He waited for hours standing there. Just moving once to let a doctor open the door and enter the area he could never pass into. He waited until his father had to sit and he waited until the nurse clocked out and a new one came by. He waited while his father tried again without any result. He waited while his cell phone didn't ring.
And when he thought he couldn’t wait any more a door opened in the hallway and a nurse appeared pushing a bed.
A bed too big for such a small body.
And he knew like he supposed any father would. He knew that was his baby.
His fiancée was the first to see him as she walked out of the room. Her head and one of her arms had been bandaged and a slight limp made him realize that one of her legs must have also been injured, but she had not been the one who had received the biggest blow from the drunk driver.
She slightly smiled at him with a sorry expression and she silently turned to the nurse, who also gave him a look before turning the bed and directing it towards the door so that he could see the little girl.
He tried calling his father, but nothing came out of him when he saw her there.
She had a few scratches on her face and arms –the only parts of her that weren’t covered by the sheet– but she seemed to be healthy despite everything.
The ambulance had taken her directly to the intensive care unit of the emergency room after removing her from the back of the car, which had been completely destroyed. Everything had happened so fast that he hadn't been able to see her for even a moment when he arrived. Afterward, Lance had only had a second to talk to his fiancée before she could come in to see her daughter.
When Lily saw him, Lance could have sworn his heart stopped completely. He damned the door when he couldn’t hear her little voice saying his name or reach her and touch her like he had been praying to.
She waved her small hands as she hadn’t expected him to be there. And he couldn’t stop the tears from falling.
His fiancée grabbed her phone –which was cracked and didn’t function completely fine– and he copied her almost knocking it to the ground.
“Lancey!” shouted Lily as soon as the call connected. The video didn't work, but he didn’t need it to see them through a screen when he had them in the flesh before his eyes.
“Baby!” he cried back almost colliding with the glass.
“Lancey! I missed you!”.
“So did I baby, so did I. Are you ok? Does anything hurt?” he asked her without taking his eyes off the small window.
“A little. They are going to put a bandaid on, but they don’t have the dinosaurs ones” she explained like nothing had really happened, as if a car driving at more than 100km on a conventional road had not crashed into her door at a red light.
“They said she is fine. The car seat you bought her stopped most of the blow. She only has some injuries from the flying glass. They still have to do an MRI, but they believe that everything will be fine. Now they are going to do the test and if everything goes well they will move us to a room to spend the night under surveillance.” His fiancée explained with tears in her eyes, still in shock from the crash.
Lance could only nod at that while trying to process everything. He didn’t even feel his father's presence behind him.
“You may not be in here but you saved her” she whispered while her daughter threw kisses at him from her bed. He nodded again, remembering the car seat he always made them carry when they visited him. It was crazy expensive and a hulk to carry, but a traffic safety expert had told him it was the best on the market and Lance had refused to drive any car with Lily that didn't have it. He had even bought one for his father’s and sister’s car and another one for Lily's biological father for a car she had never been in Still, he would have preferred never to need it.
His father pressed his head to his son's so he could see the little girl through the window, who immediately began calling him on the phone.
While they spoke, Lance's fiancée moved closer to the window and put her hand in the crystal. Her ring crashed in the process, making the glass vibrate. Lance quickly followed her.
“I’m sorry. I love you” she muttered the words making him repeat them instantly.
Before this, they knew how things worked. Of course they did. It took a while for Lance to be able to pick up Lily from daycare because of the paperwork both parents had to sign. They knew that the relationship they had did not magically make Lance a legal guardian of the little girl. Even so, the hospital's refusal to let Lance in despite the couple's requests had been like a bucket of cold water for both of them.
“We love you” she repeated and he just nodded in tears watching them leave again.
However, this time the wait seemed shorter.
Even though his fiancée's phone had completely died, Lance knew that they were both safe and well and that he would soon be able to see them and hold them in his arms when they were taken to one of the hospital rooms.
So he tried not to focus too much on what had happened. He tried again to ignore the fact that he was still behind a door and think about how soon everything would return to normal.
He tried hard enough, but the door was still there and when the nurse told him he could visit them in their room, she referred to him as a visitor and not a family member.
His father didn’t seem to mind, but he knew he did. Of course, he did. He was just trying to keep his composure for the sake of his son.
But how could he not mind? How could he be okay with his son having to see his family secretly while the girl's real father hadn't even bothered to call?
How could he be okay when his son had called him desperate because his fiancée and his little girl had had an accident on the way to the paddock? No matter what last name they had, they were his family.
When Lance arrived at the room he felt like he was going to pass out. The wait had been long and exasperating. The not knowing had been almost worse than receiving the news in the first place.
But now nothing mattered anymore. Now he was there and so were they.
“Lancey!” the girl shouted from the bed when she saw the driver at the door.
His fiancée turned around immediately and when she smiled letting him know that everything was fine they both breathed for the first time since the accident.
He almost felt dizzy when he started to breathe normally and his muscles relaxed for the first time in the last two hours. But he walked anyway to the bed, almost running, and to the little girl in there.
He didn’t mind he was still in the team wear, he didn’t care about anything else as he held Lily in his arms.
“Are you ok, baby girl?” he whispered in her hair “Are you ok?” he said as he checked her again and again without letting go of her as he had done with his fiancée before.
“Yeah! They gave me candy because they said I was very brave. But look! They did hurt a lot before” Lily explained while showing Lance the scratches the doctor had already disinfected.
“I am sure you were, baby. That was scary, right?”
“A little. But mommy was with me and she said you were coming to save us”
At that, Lance’s fiancée finally approached them again, letting Lance have his moment with the little girl.
“And he was,” she confirmed while stroking Lance’s back “Lancey was there the whole time”.
But Lily wasn’t happy with that answer. Even if she was well-behaved for an almost six-year-old, she still was a child who didn’t fully understand the grown-up's problems.
“The doctor said you couldn't be with me because you are not my daddy. Is it because I don't call you dad?” Lily asked while she hugged him tighter.
Lance pulled away a little to see her face while they were talking and, from the corner of his eye, he saw how his father moved away from the foot of the bed to let them talk more privately.
“No baby, this isn't your fault. At all.” Lance let her know, firm but loving “You are my good girl, aren’t you?”.
They had already spoken about the “dad” thing before. Her biological father had told her that only he could be dad the last time he saw her a year ago when the girl innocently told him that her mother was going to marry the driver. And Lance hadn't pushed her when his fiancée told him what had happened.
He wanted to, obviously. He dreamed about it most nights. But he understood. And then he forgot he wasn't really her dad. Even when she called him Lancey and he heard her call dad someone she only spoke to once a month over the phone if she was lucky.
Lily left his embrace completely and immediately started crying “I lied” she confessed between tears and whines “I told the doctor I would call you dad but I don't want you to be my dad. I just wanted you with me”.
She cried so hard that a nurse had to come in. Not even her mother could calm him as she cried the same again and again. “Please don't be my dad. Please”.
Lance felt stuck there. He felt like he was again before that door. Useless. Unable to do anything to change the situation over which he had no control.
Lily was high on meds. He could see some still being pumped into her through an IV. That's what he said again and again to himself as he heard his girl begging him to not be her dad.
Lily loved him deeply, almost as much as he did. He knew, he felt her love every day. He knew her love was real even if he didn’t see her some weekends because he was working. He knew she trusted him enough to wake him up when she had a nightmare. He knew she would sleep with them every night if her mom let her. He knew.
However, her cries were there, rejecting him again and again, almost knocking him down with each tear.
“I won't be your dad, Lily. I promise, baby” he said as tears also streamed down his cheeks.
She was holding his hand tightly and used it to wipe her face before speaking again. “I don't want you to be my dad. I want Lancey!” she cried stronger if that was possible.
Her mom got into bed with her as her last effort to calm her down. She was looking at him as he imagined he was looking at her.
However, this was not the time to think about himself. Nothing about that day had anything to do with him. Now he had to think about Lily and her fiancée. He would have time to lick his wounds later.
When the nurse came back again he knew he had to leave before they showed him the door. He may not know how, but he was the cause of her distress. Which was a little bit funny considering he always was her protector before.
“Everything will be alright, Lily. I will let you rest now, baby. I love you” he said kissing her temple and letting go of her hand.
Nevertheless, that didn’t work as he hoped.
“Lancey!” she screamed as she watched him leave.
Even though her mother was holding her, Lily tried to get out of her arms to get out of bed, pulling on the IV and causing the nurse to have to hold it to prevent her from accidentally tearing it out.
“You are not my daddy!” she cried one last time. A scream so heartbreaking that Lance was holding her before he was even aware was going to do it. “Please, don't leave like my dad. I want you to be Lancey forever. My Lancey.”
With that, his fiancée silently cried as she made space for him in the small hospital bed, finally understanding everything. So did Lance’s father, who always knew she was his granddaughter without needing a last name or a title.
Lance didn’t say a word as he lay in bed holding Lily in his chest minding the IV and grabbing his fiancée's hand.
“I will always be your Lancey, Lilybug” he whispered as she finally relaxed in his arms.
“We are going to be alright, love” his fiancée said as she caressed his hand “We don’t need titles to be perfect”.
He just nodded, forgetting everything that didn’t really matter. He forgot the door and the wait too when Lily fell asleep in his chest, safe and sound.
He only let go of them when he remembered the thing he always carried in his wallet close to the picture of the three of them they had taken last year.
Without waking her up, Lance put the dinosaur bandaid on her arm on the tape that held the IV.
His fiancee hugged tighter as he did and he forgot the rest of the day and the fact that Lily wasn't his daughter.
Because he was her Lancey and she will always be her baby. And that was more than many fathers could say.

something new - l.stroll
masterlist | pairing: Lance stroll x inexperienced!fem!reader
summary: exploration is key to a relationship, and Fernando is a helpful hand for lances significant other.
warnings: smut (18+) + mentions of Fernando + oral (m receiving) + fingering (f receiving)
a/n: idk what it is with inexperienced reader! x Lance it is just a pair I like to write. shoutout @monzabee for being the motivation to write and being the reason I retouched this draft after MONTHS of not writing.
Tumblr media
you were sheltered well as a child. you went to bed at 9pm, you didn’t drink, you didn’t party, and your homework was always finished before midnight. you were a good girl in your parents eyes, but something changed when you went off to college abroad.
Monaco was the home of the infamous race track, it was also well known for its parties and its celebrities who occasionally visited.
you had all plans to stay the good girl you were and keep to yourself, but those brown eyes, and devilish smile screamed to you. how could you say no to that?
however, you didn’t take things far with Lance. he knew you were rather protected from the world, and it was obvious when the first time he made a move you were shocked at everything. so Lance knew, you were far from inexperienced. you’d never once touched yourself or even explored your body in the ways he, or many women, did.
which leads you here. to asking the bold questions you would be too shy to ask Lance to now asking Fernando.
“princesa, while I do enjoy your company,” he starts rather quickly, shoving you into his drivers room so the engineers would stop from overhearing you ask about cocks, precum, and much else, “I think you should ask Lance.”
“but he’ll just laugh and tell me I’m not ready.” you pout, a rather convincing argument for the elder gentleman to begin talking.
“what do you wish to know?”
permanently scarred, you make your way out of Fernando’s drivers room almost thirty minutes later. every question you’ve ever had was fulfilled and weirdly enough, you wished those questions were to have stayed in your brain.
but now you know everything— well mostly everything, Fernando left you with the task of buying a vibrator and finding ways to pleasure yourself before allowing Lance to do so.
“you look,” Lance pauses, his eyes dramatically scan your body, “pale? what happened?”
“oh nothing!” Fernando intrudes carefully slipping you a piece of paper written in a horrid scribbles, but it’s merely everything you’ve talked about with bullet points on how to pleasure Lance.
the color returns to your face rather quickly and brightly, and before you could shove the paper into your jean pockets, Lance is plucking it out of your hands.
“ay, cabrón!”Fernando gently slaps the side of his teammates head, “not for you… well not yet.” Fernando smirks handing the paper back into your hands and leaving quicker than he arrived into the discussion.
“not yet?” Lance quizzes, and he looks so adorable with his eyebrows knitted close together. you’re so lucky the engineers were calling him to get ready for testing before he could dare ask a question you immediately would fold to the pressures of answering.
you quickly steal a glance at the sheet, seeing what exactly was put on there
1. relax jaw
2. wrap mouth around tip
his scribbled handwriting was barely eligible to read, but the two bullets were all that you could get yourself to read before feeling like all eyes were on you. sweat was glistening across your forehead as you fold the paper into tiny squares and decide to divert your attention on lances pre-season testing and leave this topic behind.
“do I have to pry it out of you?” Lance crosses the room, a giddy smile on his face as he climbs across the mattress to where you sit reading. his lips connect with yours and they trail down your neck. you feel the comfort of the paperback book swiftly removed against your thighs, his palm racking up your side, “come on tell me, what’s nando telling you?”
“Lance,” you attempt to whine, but it turns into a giggle when his facial hair tickles a sensitive spot against your neck. you end up folding, attempting to push him off your body, but you can’t help but love his lips lingering against your skin, or the warmth of his hands on your hips.
you definitely weren’t ready for sex, but you were certainly ready to dive into that list Fernando had given you. you’d wanted to see how all of it would play out based off the first two points.
“well?” he pulls away, collapsing his body beside yours, his head rests against your shoulder, “you were gone for thirty minutes and when you came back, it was like you’d seen a ghost.”
he hadn’t worried about you and Fernando being alone. if the age gap wasn’t the thing to not worry him, it was you coming back shell shocked that did.
biting your bottom lip you move to close the gap between you and Lance, delicately placing a kiss against his lips, “can I try something?” you whisper, carefully pulling away, “you can say no.” you quickly add nervously knowing Lance would turn you down anyway.
he cautiously nodded his head allowing whatever desires or wants you had take over. your acrylic nails ghost his skin as you work his shirt up off of his body revealing an area you so dreamed about.
“why’d you ever hide this from me?” you gasp practically pushing yourself off of him to stare at the beauty of his glowing golden skin and how his body curved perfectly like an hour glass.
rather than replying with words, he forces his lips against yours to get you back on track. thinking straight once again, your trail down to his pants and swiftly remove his shorts around his thighs, “can you stand up for me?”
nodding he gets up off the mattress allowing his shorts and boxers to fall into a pile beside his other dirty clothes. alas, there he is. all of him, everything Fernando ever described was right in front of you.
from his shaft to the tip, Lance was hard. you’d expected this, and climbing off the bed to your knees was the last thing he expected.
“woah,” he backs up carefully, you tilt your head upward, brows knitted in confusion, “are you sure you’re ready for this?”
“yes.”
Lance steps forward again and watches you ready yourself. you’d only read the first two points, but by relaxing your jaw and wrapping your lips around his tip, you did what you’ve only ever read in books.
“f-fuck that’s good.” Lance’s hands quickly fly into your hair, his hands are like a guide for what he wants and it’s easy to follow based on the tugging and the moans that escape his lips.
you take the chance to explore what your tongue feels like against him. it’s smooth and slick, but he tastes just as you had imagined.
you explored all sorts of things down there in the two minutes you had before Lance prepared you for his cum. you racked your teeth gently across the skin, you slurped his pre-cum, and you even had a small taste of cum before Lance drew back from you.
“where did you learn to do that?” he asks walking off to the bathroom to find a towel to clean himself.
it’d be awfully embarassing and weird to admit his name, so you simply shrug and tell him about the books you’ve been reading and how they guided you through this process.
“awfully naughty books.” he chuckles to himself throwing his boxers back on.
“how do I do that to myself?” you quickly ask halting lance in the process of re-dressing himself.
“how do you do what?” he asks playing dumb even though he knows damn well what you’re asking.
“how do I get myself to cum?”
red flushes his whole face, words fail to form at his lips as he watches you, doe-eyed and innocent. absolutely painful for his cock.
“well? tell me or I’ll ask Fernando myself—“
“this is how you do it.” he cuts you off watching a smirk lift to your lips, “when you’re alone and no one is watching, you can touch yourself in all sorts of ways you’ve desired.” he finds his answer pretty satisfying, though looking across at you, says otherwise.
your mind still races. alone? why’d you have to be alone?
“but what if I want you watching?”
you watch him bite his bottom lip, running his hand across his face, “cause then you’re just torturing me.”
“and you didn’t think that wasn’t just torture?” you ask moving across the mattress and into his lip, your legs straddling him, “you think it wasn’t pleasurable to listen to you moan, yet I couldn’t do a single thing about it?”
you can feel his heartbeat, your hand rummages across his chest, “let me,” you move off of his aching cock and swiftly remove your shirt, “show you how you make me feel.”
a soft groan escapes his lips as he takes the chance to look up at the ceiling hoping maybe god could interfere, but there’s no use. no praying could stop the twitch in his dick when he saw you were already pantyless when he turned back.
“fuck.”
a smirk seems to be your response of the day. you gracefully move your fingers down your chest that’s covered in lace and travel them all the way down to your pussy. Lance parts your thighs for him to see, “now take your finger,” he instructs, placing his cold hands against yours, and guides your index finger into your entrance, “and feel yourself.”
a soft moan escapes your lips, feeling your slick folds. he guides your finger until you can’t reach anymore and it’s his turn to take control. he slips two fingers inside you and you feel your body clench around him. he begins to pump his fingers slowly, the feeling aches, but pleasure arrives at a certain point.
“that’s your clit, baby.” he mutters and his finger does it again. he watches your back arch up, your eyes fall towards the back of your head and you can’t hold back the gasp that just keeps escaping each time he touches it.
“atta girl, let it out. come on, don’t be shy.” he encourages you, your legs visibly shake until you can’t hold it any longer and warmth exhales onto his fingers. you’re unsure if it’s normal to watch him, but he takes them into his mouth and licks them clean, “not so innocent are you now?” he smirks.
“Fernando’s a good teacher.” you sigh content with the nights work and couldn’t wait to ask more from his elder teammate.

Best Secret Santa - The Grid x Driver Reader Part 2
Plot: in which everyone wants to have Y/N as their secret Santa because she is the best gift giver and never fails to make peoples day going above and beyond for it!
A/N: A Part 2 was heavily requested! I know it's very far from Christmas but still vibes :)
Credit to f1-stuff for the GIF
Tumblr media
2024
You smile happily at the camera messing with Max and his cap changing the angle that it was sat on his head.
"So we've got you and Max opening your gifts together this time because of scheduling struggles etc. What an amazing year it has been for Red Bull again. P1 for Y/N the first woman in motorsport to be a World Champion and P3 for you Max. Amazing year, amazing team mates and we look forward to having you together for the next few years!" she smiles and you both nod, Max indicates for you to talk first and you nod.
"Yeah, I'm in shock. It was a difficult year. So many people were strong this year, Lando coming in 2nd. Mclaren had an amazing car this year and the battle was continuous for the whole year and you know I think it was way more enjoyable for fans this year" you smile knowing that some people last year didn't appreciate Red Bull's and Max's domination.
"Yeah you know I agree, I think it was a more difficult year this year as we can tell. I think we'll come back stronger in 2026 with Ford as our partner. But the disparity in race wins this year i can imagine was more enjoyable" Max admits with a nod and a smile at you, pulling you into a side hug, he'd become like your older brother in the time you'd raced with him.
"Yeah of course, and it was a crazy year. Even before the season started we had silly season begin with Lewis confirmed move to Ferrari, then the confirm of the Fredrick Vesti move to Mercedes in 2025. We then had Andretti finally be confirmed in the summer break after being rejected in Feb as a 11th team and Liam Lawson and Theo Pourchaire would join the grid, so for a year that we thought would be solid it really wasn't!" the F1 presenter exclaims looking between the two of you.
"Yeah i think everyone was shocked with everything that went on in February, and how the 2025 line up is looking but you know its a fast paced sport both on and off track" you smile and she pushes yours and Max's presents forward.
"Okay here we go, Secret Santa for Y/N and Max!" Max opens his gift first from Oscar, thanking him.
"Okay my turn! I'm kind of scared!" you say looking at the bag in front of you.
"Well theres another present to come as well but because of what it is, we have to wait to give it to you" the presenter asks and Max side eyes you, looking at your reaction as you reach into the bag.
You reach in pulling out a bag of cat treats and a little fluffy mouse toy. After a second of looking at the camera and presenter confused you turn to your team mate.
"I feel like this is from you..." you laugh, observing the treats and mouse toy. However, next second another F1 team member comes up next to you with a ball of fur in their hands making you flinch in shock.
"Oh my gosh, is that?" you ask looking at the little kitten now being placed in your lap. You look over at Max with tears in your eyes before you fully start to cry.
"Oh Y/N!" Max exclaims pulling you into a hug, not realizing you'd have this kind of reaction.
"I've been saying to Max for so long that I'm really lonely these days when i go home from races!" you smile holding the little grey British short hair cat up to observe him.
You hold him against your chest which he happily nuzzles into falling back to sleep.
"What are you going to call him!" the presenter ask and Max looks over in curiosity.
"My immediate thought was Red Bull, but I think that sounds a little silly. Hmmmm I'll call him Perceval" you smile, kissing the small cheek of the sleepy kitten.
"Is that a shout to Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc?" she smirks and your face reddens a little realizing you have in fact used Charles' middle name for your new cat.
"No, No! He's a British Short Hair, and I feel like Lord Perceval suits him as he's grey and knights wore silver armor!" you explain yourself giggling a little at the end as Max nudges you.
"Thank you so much Max, I don't think I'll be able to part from him so he'll have to come to all of my races with me!" you grin, pulling him into a hug, careful not to squish Perceval who is now rested in your lap.
*Flip*
"And here we have Mclaren driver Oscar Piastri who along with his team mate Lando Norris has had a fantastic year in 2024 and has managed to come P5 this year!" the presenter exclaims looking at Oscar.
“Yeah it's been a great season for Mclaren, you know and I'm really proud of Y/N for everything she's done this year you know not just as a driver but as a woman, she made absolute history today winning and taking the championship. I cant wait for 2025, i think with the new rules its going to be interesting to see how the grid changes up" Oscar smiles.
"Okay, so this is your second secret Santa. Here are the said presents!" the presenter says as a large Christmas themed bag is pushed forward.
He reaches into the bag trying not to spoil it by looking in there taking out the first nicely wrapped gift. He carefully unwraps it seeing a Papaya shampoo and conditioner set.
"Love that we are keeping on brand, it's actually very funny because my girlfriend has this exact shampoo set i think" he says observing it, looking to see if it was in fact Lily's choice for hair wash products.
"That wouldn't shock me, its a good brand and her hair always looks so smooth and shiny!" the presenter offers making Oscar blush a little and grin.
"Mmmm next gift feels a little heavier! Oh wow, a whole cricket set! This is between three people now, this is either Yuki, Lando or Y/N because they are the only people I've told about me getting into this again recently! My trainer and I when we go back to Australia normally will play as part of training!" he says observing the painted bat that was fully personalized to Oscar and what he liked.
"Wait, did Y/N paint this?" he asks looking at little things across the bat, everyone knew Y/N loved art in her free time and would always draw or paint for the drivers and the mechanics.
"You secret Santa did yes!"
"Then is has to be Y/N, i don't think anyone has the level of skill Y/N does!" he exclaims before placing the bat down lightly and moving onto the next gift.
"No way" he laughs pulling out a shirt that has that one smiley beluga cat meme on it that everyone compares Oscar to and a picture of Oscar smiling next to the cat.
"This is 100 percent Y/N, she is always saying i look like this damn cat!" he laughs.
"Okay final present is a bit of a odd one because we actually have to show you an announcement video... to show you the present. You've really got into Valorant recently correct?" the presenter asks and he nods with a confused look in his eyes, having no idea what's going on.
"Yeah, I've played COD for as long as i can remember with Logan, and I started playing with Lando. But Lando suggested Valorant with his friend Max who started to play it more. It's my fav game now!" he explains.
"Okay well here is the official announcement Riot will be posting in 3 weeks, first teaser to come tomorrow!" she exclaims before turning the laptop round to him.
On the screen it shows the head of riot talking about partnerships of 2025.
"As Red Bull very kindly sponsor us and our championship competitions, we are giving back by collaborating with Formula One Red Bull driver Y/N Y/L/N. She has created an agent with help of our graphic design team" he says and Y/N smiles.
"This is the second Australian Agent to come to the Agent Line-up and I'm very excited to be able to dedicate new Controller agent Ozzy to my close friend and fellow driver Oscar Piastri, he has been playing Valorant for quite a while so the character design is based off him" you explain after a cut in the video.
"Now please enjoy some gameplay footage of the new Australian Agent!" you say before it cuts to the reveal of the agent. And to Oscar's shock, the character does look a lot like him, its actually uncanny.
"This is such an amazing gift, I honestly don't know where she pulls all these ideas from... its insane how much she cares and listens to people. She's actually the sweetest person ever and I'm so happy to be able to drive with someone like her" Oscar smiles before the video moves to the next person.
2025
"Now unfortunately this wasn't a great season for you, or for team mate Max was it!" the presenter smiles sadly. You'd come P6 in the constructors while Max had come two above you in P4.
"Yeah I mean Ferrari really flew this season with two great drivers like Lewis and Charles, coming P1 and P2, obviously the Mclaren was just as quick if not quicker than last year so Lando is P3, Obviously Max in P4, the Mercedes was very quick this year hence George in P5. It was a risk with the new rules and using Ford as the supplier and the things we've got wrong we know what they are and we've fixed them for 2026 and I think we'll have better year" you sigh. Max was more consistent than you this year, but you were the only Red Bull driver to take a win this year, it was a rough year considering your 3 years of victories prior, but like Christian had said to the both of you, you live and you learn.
"That's amazing to hear! How do you feel Lewis getting his 8th?"
"I think his time in Mercedes had come to and end and I don't find it shocking that he's changed Ferrari for the better and will pave the way for Charles to become a World Champion!" you explain and she nods before pushing a bag lightly towards you.
"Onto more fun things, its that time of year that we all cannot wait for, its Secret Santa 2025!"
The bag was large but as she pulled the presents out she could see that they were wrapped awfully. She tried not to laugh as she separated out the gifts on the table observing each one.
"Okay, I'm liking the choice of paper, it's very festive. I'm going to have to give the person who wrapped these a wrapping lesson at some point though!" you giggle a little before tearing into number one.
"Omg! tickets to go see Captain America: Brave New World!" you exclaim.
"This either has to be my good friend Esteban Ocon, as a fellow MCU enjoyer or its my little brother on track, ie Mr America himself Logan Sargeant!" you ask looking up to the presenter who just giggled.
"Okay, next present is holy shit, tickets to Disney World!" you look up in shock.
"Look on the back who you are going with" she smiles.
"Tickets for me, you, Oscar and Lando! Logan oh my gosh you are so sweet you are literally the best person ever! Merry Christmas and I'll see you behind me on track in 2026!" you exclaim before the cameras cut out.
*Flip*
"George it's been a fantastic year for you coming in P5, and beating last years world champ! How does it feel?" she asks.
"Yeah, i think Y/N is a brilliant driver and its unfortunate Red Bull had as many faults as they did but that just goes to show how with her and Max it's not just the car its the driver as well. I think i would have quit half way through the season if i had as many issues as they did. But that just goes to show their resilience!" George says politely.
"Okay well, It's gift giving season and your secret Santa has most defiantly treated you!"
"Holy shit" he says turning to his left seeing the massive wrapped box and then a smaller bag next to it.
"I'm going to open the big one first!" he exclaims looking at it greedily.
"Of course you are" the interviewer laughs shaking their head.
"This is like, really expensive. No way!" he scans, after having torn the cardboard away from the state of the art bike sat in front of him, everyone knew George liked cycling, so this was a very nice gift.
"Oh and LOOK! It has mine and Alex numbers added together on it" he observed running his hand over the cyan colours, making out as though its a piece of art!
"Okay next one, is these two in this little bag, we have... ooo this is pretty heavy! It's oh okay its a book, The Art of George Russell: Every Shirtless Photo of George Russell!" he introduces before flicking through it showing the book to the camera, there was little personalized annotations on each photo inside.
"I love this so much, I know its Y/N whose got this for me because she has such a unique and interesting sense of humor, hmmmmm there's got to be another joke" he says before reaching further into the bag to pulling out a smaller and lighter gift.
"A Williams hat, and a .... Brazilian Flag Key Chain. Even though these are Y/N's joke presents they are always still so thoughtful. My time in Williams taught me so much that I carried through into Mercedes with me and Brazil was my first Win in Formula One, and it was really just special to me!" he exclaims smiling, placing the hat on his head before adding the key chain to his set of keys that he fished from his back pocket.
"Okay, last present George!" the presenter exclaims shoving a bigger bag towards him that had a bow tying it together.
He pulls open the bag spotting a few different unwrapped items.
"OH! This is a glamping set! Carmen has been begging and begging me for ages to take her camping in the Lake District as I used to do it all the time when we were kids, I tried to explain to her she wouldn't like camping as it gets kind of dirty. So this whole set is perfect!" he admits, looking through the tent, the air mattress and all the other little bits and bobs alongside it.
"Thank you so much for all of this Y/N i really really appreciate it all. I cant thank you enough!" he grins.
2026
"What a phenomenal year its been, we've had Lewis gain his 9th WDC, Y/N 2nd, Charles 3rd, Lando 4th and Max 5th!" the presenter smiles over to you.
"Yeah, I think we majorly fixed the issues we have last year, but I think we've still got some way to go and you know progress doesn't happen in one season so the on look for 27 is gonna be great!" you grin.
"Okay now it's all our favorite time of the year! It's secret Santa!" she comments and hands you the bag.
"Hmmmm, okay first gift these are..." you says as you pull out a wooden box with a carving on the top. You open it pulling on the metallic latch in the edge and spot inside custom chopsticks that had a red dragon going up the length.
"Oh woah, these are so beautiful, this has to be Mr Zhou Guanyu!" you grin holding them up to the camera holding your hand behind them as if you were one of the beauty influences showing of a blush or lipstick.
"Influencer era" you say making sure they could see every angle of them!
"Wait, can you guys get me anything I can test try them with?" you ask and you wait a little before some brings you out some dishes you could use your new chopsticks with.
"Mmm this is delicious!" you exclaim, and quickly finished up the food they'd provided you with.
"Omg these are crystals! Zhou and I were talking about these and the differences in meanings of the minerals"
You would always wear a good luck necklace in your races that got approved by the FIA when you first started racing. Everyone on the grid knew that you were into crystals and zodiacs, you'd have long conversations with Lando about the western Zodiac signs, and how him being a Scorpio worked well with your Y/S/S.
"These are really beautiful gifts, thank you Zhou! I absolutely love them and I will be sure to use the crystals at every race!" you grin smiling into the camera.
*Flip*
"Liam... Liam this will be your second secret Santa, you've had an amazing year in Racing Bulls and we cant wait to see what you do next year!" the presenter smiles looking towards the younger male.
"It's been a great second season in F1, I think after my years as a reserve driver i was starting to doubt myself but I'm glad that I'm here and racing!" he smiles back at her.
"Okay, so with your secret Santa, it's a little complicated. We're going to have to take you somewhere else to show you one of your presents. But here are the first few!" she smiles handing him a medium sized bag.
He reaches in taking out the first present which is a Lightening McQeen plushie.
"Ahhh, i think a lot of the drivers know my love for the man and legend himself, the reason i got into racing so this could be anyone” He reaches back into the bag to pull out a Red Bull team member top and water bottle.
"Oh!" He looks up in shock before laughing.
"This is definitely Y/N! She's helped me a lot through out the season and is helping me to progress each day! Thank you so much Y/N"
“Okay now if you’d kindly follow us, with this blind fold on we will lead you to the next present!” The presenter says offering him a blind fold. Off camera they walk him to the hotel elevator and out to the car park.
In front of him stands a red Chevrolet, with the number plate LM95 RBR which could either stand for Liam or the initials of his idol Lightening McQueen, with the cars number after it and then RBR for Red Bull Racing. Little did people know that you’d pulled a Lewis Hamilton 24.
Lewis was retiring after 28 season. He’d told you earlier, as it still wasn’t public knowledge. And Ferrari had come to you about the replacement, at first you were thinking you didn’t want to leave Red Bull, but a chance at Ferrari was everyone’s dream in this sport.
So you would be driving for Ferrari from 2029 onwards with Charles Leclerc as your partner, who also wasn’t aware about the move.
Obviously you had to tell the red bull team you were leaving and had pushed them to sign on Liam Lawson as their second driver, push him to be the new Max Verstappen and eventually take that number 1 seat when Max retires.
This is why you’d done the tease of the red bull merch towards Liam, and that’s why he looked shocked in the camera because you both were some of the only people aware.
“Okay you can take the blindfold off” the presenter says and he does, and tears build up in his eyes as he sees the custom painted red car in front of him. It was an older model, one that he could modify and make better which made it such a good gift as Y/N new he liked fixing cars as a hobby.
“This is probably the best gift and most thoughtful thing I’ve ever received! Oh my gosh I wish she was here right now” he says a little overwhelmed as he looks at the car.
“But I am, get in loser we’re going shopping” you shout sticking your head out the passenger side window of the car before you open the door getting out.
Liam runs over to you, pulling you into a huge hug thanking you for the gift. Cameras cut as the two of you inspect the car, pointing little details out that he may have missed.
2027
“What a season it’s been phenomenal we’ve had Charles Leclerc get his first WDC, we had Lando come 2nd with an insanely quick McLaren and he gave us a further contract extension till 2030 in his Papaya team! And you Y/N in 4th just a point behind Lewis Hamilton and a point ahead of George Russell. Great season! How do you feel!”
“Yeah I’m feeling great, there are so many names on the grid right now that it’s really spiced up the races and is having some great battles for podiums out there causing all kinds of wins! I’m proud of what we’ve done in Red Bull and can’t wait for another year!” You grin.
“Okay as usual onto presents, now this is an interesting one and I think you will enjoy who your Santa is!” She grins leaning in her hand as she watches you open it.
“Lots of Ferrari Merch, so it’s either Lewis or Charles, I want to lean towards Charles as the WDC this year! But you never know, is Lewis even in it this year? Oh my gosh did he rejoin?” You ask in shock!
“Okay what else have we got here, oh my gosh it’s a fucking Birkin bag!” You scream looking at the camera in shock. Obviously you were friends with everyone on the grid, it was just in your nature. So obviously you got talking to people about what you did and didn’t like. And when you were taking to Lewis, Carlos, Lando and Charles before a post race interview panel, you all got talking about fashion trends you liked. Hence the very expensive Birkin in front of you.
“This has to be from Lewis, but Charles was at the conversation where we talked about this bag, oh my this is difficult” you exclaims before you finalise its Lewis and you make a gesture of excitement for getting it right.
“Thank you everyone and a goodnight, I’m going to sexily walk away with my Ferrari merch tucked inside the Birkin” you whisper up close to the microphone before they capture you walking off in style.
*Flip*
“Carlos Sainz, you’ve been phenomenal in Audi this year how is the car staring to feel?” The presenter asks.
“Yea, I think you know in one season you cannot expect to get it right, but now that it’s our second year it’s coming along really nicely and I can see us being difficult for the 2028 season ahead” he explains well PR trained and ready for anything.
“Okay Secret Santa time! Let’s go” they say after continuing the small Audi on the ride debate.
“Yes I’m excited I see lots of presents for me, which can only mean uno persona, mi Amiga Y/N!” He exclaims and the presenter just rolls her eyes knowing people at this point know if they’ve been lucky and got you or if they have anyone else because of the vast presents around them!
“Okay well let’s see what Y/Ns got for you”
He proceeds to open a medium sized gift which is a jar of chilis that makes him laugh, as he observes the jar carefully.
“I shall give these to mi madre for cooking, she makes the best food with these chilis you’ll have to come try some time Y/N” Carlos says sending a wink towards the camera that fans would later go wild over.
“Oh this is heavier oh, oh it’s golf clubs and shoes, these are mmmm how does Lando say it, ‘lush’? Is that the word im looking for?” He asks coolly as he inspects the present.
He looks behind him, to see what looks to be just cardboard wrapped around something, he deems it in his head to be a canvas.
As he tears of the cardboard and bubble wrap, he’s met with a paining by you that he looked at and assumed must have taken you hours, of him stood by his race car for each year he had in F1. It was a huge canvas, one that looked like it belonged on a wall in a museum, the art on it did too.
“This is, wonderful. I don’t think I’ve seen something so good since Picasso himself” he admits continuing to look over the painting.
“Thank you for all of these gifts, I truly love them!” He admits.
2028
“So this year felt like 2024 all over again, we had the retirement of Lewis, and you are taking his seat in 2028 alongside Charles Leclerc in Ferrari, how does that feel Y/N!” The presenter asks and you smile.
“I think if you ask any driver what team they’d love to drive for before they leave it will always be Ferrari so the fact that I have the opportunity to drive for them in the next few years and try to win a championship again with them, I’d be honoured” you admit smiling.
“And now we know what last years secret Santa really meant for you when you gave Liam Lawson Red bull gear knowing he’d be driving for them in 2029 and last year, no wonder Lewis gave you his Ferrari merch, it’s because you are taking over his seat!” she asks and you just laugh and nod.
“We’ve had a fantastic year we’ve seen Lando take his first WDC, with Y/N coming in 2nd really trying to show her new team she is ready for them! While her team mate Max Verstappen didn’t have an amazing season coming in 7th” they answer and you clap and praise Lando saying how far he had come and how proud you were on him and how it was such an honor to drive on track with him.
“Okay anyway onto secret Santa Y/N!” She exclaims pushing a small bag towards you.
You grin opening it up, to be met with …. A bottle of WKD…
Very random.
“Okay so WKD is like a teen/young adult alcohol in the UK, so my thoughts would be on Lando, or like George maybe??” You ask before the interviewer has an evil and mysterious giggle on.
“So your secret Santa when you found out it was you, got a little nervous. So he prepared this recording for you, and one final present” the interviewer says before turning the laptop to you and shocking you see …
“Charlie?!! He’s my secret Santa?” You ask in shock.
“Hello Y/N, I will admit I panicked when I was given your name in secret Santa, I’ve had a crush on you since way back in the karting days when I first met you. So, as your secret Santa, my other gift to you, is a date with me! I also hope you like the final present I made for you! I cannot wait to be your team mate, and maybe more if I’m lucky in the future”
The camera pans back to you and your face in bright red, an unflattering blush in your already sun kissed face.
“Here’s the other present” the presenter says tentatively pushing forward a neatly wrapped presents, the work for sure of Pascale Leclerc.
You open up the contents finding the original CD case you’d give him, for his secret Santa back in the day. You open it up seeing a cd and a slip of paper fall out. On the paper we’re all the song titles which had something to do with you, or your career.
He’d quiet literally placed your life inside songs …. And that was quiet the gesture.
“What a whirlwind of a year 2029 will be huh!” You joke before the cameras cut off!

All smiles - Lance Stroll
Tumblr media
Y/N x Lance Stroll Theme: Smutish; light touching, not explicit spending time with Lance before the Japanese Grand Prix x word count: 1250+ taglist: @game-set-canet open for requests :)
Gif by me
The buzz of anticipation fills the air as the Japanese Grand Prix approaches. In the heart of the Aston Martin garage, excitement crackles like static electricity. You stand by, wearing Lance's green Aston Martin shirt and a pair of dark jeans, feeling a mix of nerves and pride as he prepares for the first training session.
Lance, clad in his racing suit, stands by his car, a vision of determination and focus. His eyes dance with excitement as he watches the mechanics fine-tune every detail of his racing machine. You can't help but admire his passion for racing, radiating from every pore.
Lost in the moment, Lane's gaze drifts, his mind undoubtedly wandering to the countless laps he would soon embark upon. You watch him, captivated by the raw energy he exudes. It's obvious; he is in his element, a true racer at heart.
Breaking the silence, you speak softly, your voice cutting through the hum of activity in the garage. "What are you smiling about?" You ask, your eyes alight with curiosity.
Lance turns to you, his grin widening as he meets your gaze. "I'm just happy to be here," he replies, his voice filled with genuine joy. "To be living my dream, racing in Formula 1, it's everything I've ever wanted."
You feel a surge of warmth wash over you at his words. Knowing how hard Lance worked to reach this point, the countless hours of training, the sacrifices he made along the way, and all the comments he had to endure just for following his passion.
"Lance." You breathe, and you can't help but be drawn to him. With a tender smile, you reach out, placing a gentle hand on his chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his breathing deeply beneath the palm of your hand.
"Hey," you murmur softly, your voice barely above a whisper, "that smile looks good on you."
A blush creeps up Lance's cheeks, his eyes meeting yours with a warmth that sends shivers down your spine. He opens his mouth to reply, but before any words could escape, he finds himself leaning in, drawn to you like a magnet.
Your lips meet in a soft, gentle kiss, a moment suspended in time amidst the chaos of the garage. In that instant, the world falls away, leaving only you two, lost in each other's embrace.
As you pull apart, Lance's smile lingers, a beacon of light in the dimly lit garage. You can't help but return it, your heart swelling with love for the man beside you.
"Let's go, Lance." A mechanic pats his back; it's time for the first training session to begin.
As he gets ready, you can't help but admire him once more: his racing suit hugs his form flawlessly. His hair, tousled just so, gives him an air of effortless charm, reminiscent of a Disney prince brought to life.
With each movement, his suit seems to accentuate his physique, highlighting the scuplted lines of his body in all the right places. You catch a glimpse of the white fireproofs beneath his unzipped suit, a tantalizing hint of what lies beneath.
Lance meets your gaze with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. He knows the effect he has on you, reveling in the tease as he toys with the zipper of his suit.
You can't help but play along, a smile dancing on your lips as he strokes himself subconsciously, his hand running across his chest once, then twice, before gently brushing over his crotch and along his waistline.
As Lance settles into the cockpit of his Aston Martin, the anticipation thrumms through the air like electricity. With a quick adjustment of his helmet and a tightening of his gloves, he is ready. With the roar of the engine, he pulls out onto the track, the familiar rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins.
You watch from the sidelines, your heart racing in tandem with the car as it speeds off into the distance. Slipping on your headphones, tuning into Lance's radio channel, eager to hear his voice as he navigates the twists and turns of the circuit, you stand next to his mechanics as they feel the same.
As the crackle of the radio fills your ears, you can't help but smile. Every word that comes through is laced with excitement and enthusiasm, a testament to Lance's love for the sport. You can picture the grin on his face as he tackles each corner with precision, pushing his car to the limit with every lap.
And then, amidst the static, you hear it—the unmistakable sounds of laughter, bright and infectious. Lance is giggling; the sheer joy of racing evident in every note of his voice. It is a sound that fills you with warmth, knowing that your boyfriend is living out his dreams on track.
As the session draws to a close, Lance's radio falls silent, the final moments of the session ticking away. But you know that his smile will linger long after he steps out of the car.
Lance emerges from the cockpit, and you sense the adrenaline still flowing through him, his body taut with excitement. You watch him with a mixture of pride and admiration, knowing just how much he loves being behind the wheel.
As he approaches his mechanics, their handshake is filled with a silent understanding, a shared bond forged through countless hours spent working towards a common goal.
With a deft motion, Lance removes his helmet, revealing a sweaty but smiling face beneath. His cheeks are flushed with exertion, his eyes sparkling with the thrill of the ride. Your heart skips a beat as you meet his gaze, feeling the warmth of his smile wash over you like a wave.
Lance turns to you, his smile widening at the sight of you. As he approaches you, you notice the confident swagger in his step, a testament to the exhilarating session he just completed on track. Before you can say a word, he pulls you into his arms, his lips meeting yours in a soft, tender kiss.
You melt into his embrace, savoring the warmth of his touch and the taste of his lips against yours. Steadying yourself against his body, you start to stroke him. 
Your hand moves with purpose, gliding over Lance's chest, relishing in the taut muscles beneath the fabric of his racing suit. As you apply a firm stroke, you feel a low growl reverberate through his throat, a primal sound that gives you gossebumps.
Caught off guard by your touch, Lance meets your gaze with a mixture of surprise and desire. "How did I do?" he asks, his voice husky with anticipation.
You smile, your eyes sparkling with joy. "You were phenomenal," you reply, your words filled with genuine pride.
A smirk tugs at the corner of his lips again when you lean in, kissing him gently.
"You really should smile more." Your lips brush over his own. "I'm just so happy for you." As you run your hand through his messy hair, you marvel at the way it frames his face, tousled and wind-swept from the intensity of his time on track. Each strand feels like silk beneath your fingers.
Lance leans into your touch, his eyes fluttering closed as he savors the sensation. With a soft sight, he opens his eyes, meeting your gaze with an affectionate smile.
"I will smile more, just for you, I promise," he murmurs, his voice filled with warmth.

friends? (ls18)
summary: you had fallen for your childhood friend lance. but when he shows up to his family's party with his girlfriend, you are forced to confront your feelings.
i apologize in advance if your name is bethany, just the name i picked. but i hope you enjoy my first lance fic!
no warnings that i can think of :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lance captivated any room he stepped into. All eyes turned to the billionaire’s son, the racecar driver, and the worldwide star. But even with her on his arm, his eyes turned to you, his best friend.
You had grown up together, both starting karting around a similar age. You had gone from competing against each other to cheering when the other did well in races. Then you were hanging out at each other's houses outside of racing, playing video games or running around outside. In your teenage years, you continued to be friends even as the racing got more and more competitive.
The years blurred by until you got to where you were today, Lance racing in Formula 1 and you in Formula 2. You got to see him less often now, mostly when the F2 schedule aligned with the F1 schedule. He was always busy training, and frankly so were you. Apart from the occasional chat, you were now living separate lives.
So it had surprised you when Lance had posted a few pictures to his Instagram with a woman. They were holding hands in one photo and he had his arm wrapped around her waist in another. You had stared back in disbelief. Of course he was an adult, he was allowed to date someone. It was just the fact that he hadn't told you that hurt. And maybe the fact that you had fallen for him years ago.
Yes, you were hopelessly in love with your best friend. Lance Stroll, the Formula 1 driver.
And it seemed he now loved someone else. When they had walked into the party that his family was hosting, everyone in the room had turned to look at the driver and his new girl. You couldn't blame them. He looked stunning in his tux. And she looked like a goddess in her flowing red dress.
In the crowd, his eyes found yours and you felt your breath stop. Those soft brown eyes that you had looked into for years. His face shifted to a grin and the couple made their way over to you.
"Hey, you," he said, pulling you into a friendly hug once he made his way through the group of people. "Long time no see."
"Yeah," you replied, your voice like a sigh.
"Oh, and this is Bethany," he said, introducing you to the woman he had arrived with. "We're dating."
You plastered a smile onto your face and shook Bethany's hand. "It's so nice to finally meet you," she had said. "Lance talks about you all the time."
He did? Even though you two had fallen almost out of touch? This caught you by surprise.
"All good things I hope," you had replied with a chuckle.
"Of course!" she had laughed, smiling at you.
You looked over at Lance and saw he was no longer looking at you, but at the ground. Almost as if he were embarrassed. You flashed her a smile again and looked over at Lance.
"Well I'll let you two enjoy the night," you said, trying to excuse yourself from the conversation. You turned to leave them alone, before you heard Lance stop you.
"No, why don't you come eat at our table?" he asked. You saw Bethany's smile falter a little bit. And as much as you didn't want to have to watch Lance with his girlfriend, you couldn't exactly turn down your best friend, could you?
"If that's okay with you," you responded, looking between the couple.
You found yourself sitting on Lance's right while Bethany was to his left. You all had engaged in a bit of conversation, Lance talking about how his season was going in Formula 1 and you talking about how Formula 2 was going well for you. Bethany seemed a little zoned out of the conversation, a lot of the intricacies of racing not familiar to her. Racing was something that would always tie you and Lance together, whether you liked it or not.
But as the conversation went on, you saw her reach for his hand and grab it. You didn't deserve to be mad, as you had never decided to voice your feelings in fear of ruining what you had. But watching that simple act of intimacy between the two broke you.
You had always enjoyed his family's parties in the past, but now? Now that you couldn't sneak out early with him to go drive around aimlessly and listen to music or that you couldn't bribe him to grab you an extra portion of dessert, things were different.
As you distracted yourself with a refill of your drink, you didn't notice how his eyes lingered a little too long on the back of your dress or how he released her hand after he saw the way you looked sad.
A few more awkward moments in conversation with the couple, you decided to make a break for it. Being questioned by Lawrence for leaving early would be better than any more moments watching your childhood best friend and crush being romantic with someone else.
"I- I'm sorry," you mumbled. "I have to go..."
"Are you okay?" Lance asked, looking concerned.
"It's fine..." you sighed, quickly getting up from the table. "Enjoy your night. You both deserve it."
Quickly making your way to the parking lot, you held back tears. Even though you had drifted apart, a small part of you had held onto hope that maybe he would feel the same. That he could love you back just as you had loved him for so long. But clearly that was an illusion.
You staggered through the door of the venue in your heels, kicking them off and picking them up before running into the parking lot. You didn't care if there was media watching, all you needed was to get away as fast as possible.
Finally getting to your car, you fished around in your purse for your keys. You mumbled a few curses, unable to find where they had gone. A few tears pricked your eyes, this was the last thing you needed right now. You leaned up against the car and slid to sit on the ground, shutting your eyes against the world.
"Hey," a familiar voice said. "Forgot your keys."
You peeked open your eyes to see Lance standing in front of you. He looked concerned upon seeing you in such a disheveled state.
"Are you okay?"
You barely nodded. "Not really... it's stupid..."
Lance sat down on the asphalt next to you, wrapping his arm around your shoulders. "You can talk to me. I know we haven't been as close lately, but I'm always willing to listen."
"I don't want to ruin things..."
"What could you possibly ruin? Look, I care about you. Just tell me what's going on."
Him saying he cared about you was all the motivation you needed. Maybe if you just got this over with, you could move on and things would go back to normal.
"Lance... I've always liked you... as more than a friend. And seeing you tonight... so happy with her... I guess it hurt."
The look on his face went from concerned to shocked and then to sad.
You cleared your throat. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to put you in this position. You and Bethany... you look good together. You deserve someone like her."
Lance was silent for a minute. "I... you never asked me how I felt?"
"I never thought you would feel the same. Didn't want to ruin our friendship.
"Well... for the record I did love you. I... still do."
Your heart skipped a beat at the answer. "You do?"
"Yeah. I do."
You both sat in silence for a minute. "What do you want to do about it?" you asked quietly.
"I broke it off with her," Lance said simply. "Before I came running after you."
"Why would you do that?" you asked, genuinely confused. "You seemed so in love with her."
He looked you in the eyes. "Because coming to this party made me realize. It brought back so many memories. All the years we goofed around in front of dad's rich friends. All the times we left early to go have fun just the two of us. And then I saw you in that dress... and the way you looked at me after all these years. And I realized what I had with her would never compare to the years I've had with you. Even if you had said no... I couldn't just let you leave like that. Thinking our relationship didn't mean anything. Even if we just ended up being friends tonight."
"Lance I..."
"You mean a lot to me, you know? Just took a year apart and a girl I didn't truly love to realize how much."
You took a chance and reached over to grab his hand, just like she had a few hours earlier.
"Wanna get out of here?" he asked. "Speed away like we did as teenagers?"
"Yeah. I'll drive and you get the music."
"Deal," he said, cracking one of his smiles that just made your heart melt. He tossed you the keys to your car that you had forgotten on the table. You caught them with ease and stepped into your car. You looked over at your best friend, and now possibly lover in the passenger's seat and your heart was full.
"Lance..."
"Yeah?"
"I've wanted this for a while. Just me and you again."
"Well if you want to... we can spend a lot more time now just the two of us. Now that we're both on the same page."
"I can't imagine anything better," you said with a smile. You shifted the car into drive and pressed down the gas pedal, speeding away into the night. And as your favorite song came on the radio, you knew your life was about to get so much better.

My girls (Lance Stroll)
Lance gave Juno one job: to make sure his girls were looked after while he was away at a triple header
Note: english is not my first language. My baby fever has been through the roof lately, and while I was working on this, another blurb came through for dad!Lance, so I joined them.
Thank you so much to everyone who likes and reblogs, your feedback is appreciated 🤍 and I'm taking requests so if you have any ideas or concepts you want to share, feel free to do so as I'll try to get to them the best I can!

Tw: reader is pregnant
Tag list: @myloverjk-blog @hiireadstuff @c-losur3
"Have you seen Juno?", Margot asked her older sister while she did her homework, "where's mummy? She usually is where mummy is", Addalynn smiled, "I just need to finish this question and then I can go downstairs with you, wait a bit for me, please", she asked.
Margot waited for her, standing by her desk and watching curiously as her older sister wrote on her notebook until she finished, tidying her desk and storing the notebook back in her backpack, "we can go downstairs now", she smiled, holding Margot's hand and going down the stairs with her, the patter from Luna's paws and nails on the floor telling them you were in the kitchen.
You had only read about it in books, and since Luna had only been in your family for a little over a year, you never experienced being pregnant while having a dog. So far, besides your two daughters, you also had a four-pawed shadow following you around, "Luna, you can't get all tangled between my ankles, okay? Mummy can't see you that well anymore, only your tail every now and again", you giggled as you looked for her snout, hearing the girls approaching you.
"I knew she'd be here", Addy whispered to Margot as she called the dog, sitting on the floor to play with the dog.
"Are you hungry, girls? I can make you something before we sit down for dinner", you offered, figuring that dinner would still take a while to be ready.
"No, we just wanted to play with Juno", Margot said, pulling on the rope material so Juno could pull back.
"I finished my homework, too, and we knew Juno would be where you were", Addalynn added as you blushed slightly, "she's following daddy's request to look after you!", both girls giggled.
"She's looking after all of us - but I think she does come to stay with me whenever she wants a rest", you winked, "she knows I won't go too far too quickly", you offered.
When you finished dinner and tidying up with the girls' help, they were quick to go to the living room, turning on the TV and finding the channel.
"Is daddy on track yet?", you asked, ushering Juno to her spot on the sofa by your left before you sat down next to the girls on your right.
"Lizzie was saying they're going to start soon", Addy added as she unfolded the blanket on top of her and Margot's legs, "do you want some of the blanket too?", she asked.
"I have mine here, love, thank you, though", you smiled, arranging it under your bump carefully as you stretched your legs on the footstool, "Oh, forgot my pillow", you mumbled, changing your position.
"I'll get it, mummy!", Margot offered, getting the pillow you needed and placing it under your feet, "is it good?", she checked.
"It is, sweetheart, thank you", you smiled at her attentiveness as she climbed back on the sofa.
"Daddy is going really fast!", Margot pointed out, "is this the one where he could win?".
"This is practice still, the one where he can go for the pole position is much later and you will be asleep by then", you stated, not wanting to bend their bedtime routine even more than you were already doing.
"Okay", they said in unison, respecting your orders. Overall, they were pretty good at following what you asked them to do, usually only throwing tantrums when they were really tired and understanding what could and couldn't be negotiated pretty well. Of course they were still kids and had their developmental needs and challenges, but you also had an inkling that Lance had spoken to them about how they needed to behave extra well since he wouldn't be coming home for three weeks.
.
You rolled to Lance's side of the bed, finding Luna already looking at you, "the girls are not up yet?", you mused, rubbing the sleep out of your eyes.
Getting up gently, allowing your back and hips to stretch properly and readying yourself to go back to spending most of the day in a standing position, "Good morning, baby girl, you're up too, at least, you can keep me and Juno company", you smiled, rubbing your bump softly as you felt her movements, little feet kicking your ribs gently for now.
The silence didn't last for too long as when you were getting yourself dressed, Juno's ears popped when she heard noise, leaving you briefly to go to the girls' bedrooms. Putting on your lounge wear set and making sure it would be stretchy enough around your bump you stepped into the corridor to find your two curly haired girls petting Juno.
"Good morning, mummy! Did you sleep well?", Addalynn asked, coming close to give you a hug.
"Good morning, my loves. I did, did you?", you kissed the top of her head before kissing Margot's as well, hugging her too, "I'm going to let Juno out in the garden so she can do her business, are you coming down now?", you wondered as you picked out comfy clothes for them.
"I'll go in a bit - I need to pee!", Margot let you know before speeding to the bathroom.
You opened the back door for Juno first and then started making breakfast.
The doorbell rang, making Juno go up to the door with you, and once you opened it, she barked loudly at the man holding a box, "Juno, it's okay!", you assured her as she took a protective stance in front of you, "she's harmless, really, but she will bark at anyone she doesn't know, I'm sorry if she scared you", you told him.
"It's fine, no worries, I used to have one just like her when my children were younger", the delivery man, "Y/N Stroll, right? These two boxes are for you, may I?", he asked, wanting to help you by at least putting the package on top of the table near the door.
"Sure, thank you! Juno, come here!", you called the brown labrador so she wouldn't get in the way.
"There you go", he said, "I hope you have a good day!", he waved as he walked back to the car.
"Thank you, you too!", you waved back before closing the door.
The girls walked down the stairs, Addalynn in the outfit you picked out and Margot holding her clothes on her hand, "who was that, mummy?".
"A delivery man - we got two packages. Do you need help getting dressed, love?", you asked Margot, who nodded as she looked at the smaller box.
"Can we see what's inside?", Addalynn quesioned.
"Sure, you girls do that one while I do this one", you encouraged, ripping the tape on the box on the table to see a beautiful bunch of flowers along with a card.
I can't wait to be back home, I miss you girls so much!
There are some flowers for you and the girls and a little treat for Juno, too - figured she wouldn't be the most gentle with a plant!
I love you!
- Lance
"Mummy, this one has flowers, too!", Margot showed you two smaller bunches of flowers and a bag with some dog treats.
"These are from daddy! This one is for me, each of those is for you and then some treats for Juno", you explained, showing them the card so Addalynn could read it out loud as you carried the flowers to the kitchen so you could put them in water.
"Let's take a photo and send it to daddy, okay? Smile big, my loves!", you cheered, snapping a cute photo of the girls, Juno and the flowers and sending it to Lance.
Even though it was late where he was, your husband still sent you a text with many heart emojis and then another one reading "these are three of my favourite girls, and I would like to see the other two 👀".
Taking a selfie in the mirrow on the hallway, perfectly showing your baby bump, you sent it back to Lance, earning the same reaction to the first one you sent.
After having breakfast, you sat on the sofa to watch the qualifying session, the girls laying out their Lego sets, "daddy didn't tell you in which position he was starting?", Addy mused.
"No, I told him we would watch it today and I stayed away from the news, too, so I have no idea what's going to happen", you offered, pressing play on the remote to start the program.
Juno was quick to recognise Lance, getting up from her spot where she rested her head on your legs, tail wagging, "yes, Juno, that's daddy!", Margot squealed.
"Does that mean daddy got P3?", Addalynn asked as the voice over as they filmed the paddock spoke about a penalty, "yes, he goes up a place", you smiled.
Later on the night, your baby girl couldn't seem to settle so sleep wasn't coming by easily, "if your sisters find out that you're keeping me up so we can watch daddy's race, we're going to be in trouble", you spoke, fluffing the pillows as Juno looked up at you, "you can't tell anyone either, okay?", you warned the dog as you set up you iPad on your bedside table.
Lance ended up in second place, the podium celebrations showing his happiness as he sprayed the champagne on the other drivers, "mummy's tired, baby girl, and daddy is flying back soon", you tried to soothe her by rubbing your bump, hoping she would slow down enough for you to sleep once you turned off the streaming channel.
.
Lance couldn't wait to be back home, getting his luggage from the plane as soon as he could before he walked to his car, putting all his belongings inside and driving home to his family. Triple headers were hard as it was, but now that he had his family waiting back home, they were even harder.
He closed the garage door and parked the car, taking his luggage to the laundry room before expecting to meet the girls at the corridor but finding the whole floor empty.
Lance found you napping on his side of the bed, the girls napping on your side and Juno by the feet of the bed.
Smiling at the view, he walked up gently to you, Juno alert as she sensed someone else in the room and barking before noticing it was Lance, stepping closer to him to rub her snout on his legs, "hey, Juno, you did a good job here from what I can see!", he scratched her ears.
The girls stirred in their sleep, blinking their eyes a couple of times before looking at him, "hey, girls", he whispered.
"Daddy!", they yelled, making him kneel on the floor so he could hug them closely, "I missed you princesses so so so much", he said, inhaling their scent and squeezing their bodies closer to his.
"We missed you too, daddy", Margot said, kissing his cheek while Addalynn nodded, snuggling herself closer to Lance.
You turned on your side, opening your eyes to see Lance and the girls, "you're home already?", you croaked out, a sleepy smile on your lips.
Lance climbed up on the bed so he could hug you close, "I am, love", he greeted as his arms wrapped around your body.
"Hello, my love", you whispered against his lips before kissing him, feeling his hands rub your bump
"Hey, darling", he said once he let go of the kiss, "baby girl has grown so much these past weeks, hm?", he smiled, pecking your lips, "you're so beautiful, Y/N - isn't it true, girls? Mummy looks so beautiful", he added as they nodded, "I have all of my beautiful girls with me", he pulled them into the hug, squeezing you together for a family cuddle.

Business as Usual - LS18
You walked through the woods, heading towards the isolated little river that you sat by whenever you felt overwhelmed. As you approached the opening in the trees, you saw a figure, someone sat down on the rock next to the one that you normally say at. You shrugged to yourself, not really caring if someone else was there, he seemed quiet and you could still unwind. As if he could sense a presence, he turned, looking at you. You sent him a gentle smile, walking over and sitting on the rock that sat beside the one he was on.
“Do you mind? This is my spot,” he said, sounding rather frustrated at the new presence.
“Well it's my spot too, so I'm going to quietly enjoy it,” you responded, not really in the mood for another argument that day. He seemed to accept that, groaning rather dramatically before accepting it and going quiet.
You watched as the river flowed gently, the crystal-clear water meandering gracefully between rocks. You could see the pebbles below the water, laying contently on the river bed, some adorned with moss which had slowly covered more and more pebbles over time. The sound of running water and gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze subdued the loud sounds in your brain, allowing you to shut everything that you were feeling out. The fragrant scent of wildflowers and mud filled your senses as you breathed in, causing a sigh of content to leave your mouth. The natural canopy provided by the trees above allowed you to sit there calmly, shading the sun from your face and body as you watched the ripples of the water. 
You heard a gasp and sudden movement from the man sat beside you. You looked in his direction, looking into his eyes and following his eyesight to the creature that had landed by him and startled him so much. You started laughing softly. “It's not funny, don't laugh.”
“You're scared of a tiny little frog?” You asked, leaning over to pick it up. “Hi little buddy.” You spoke gently to the frog as it sat contently in your hand, bringing it up to eye level with you and looking at it. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw the man sit back down. “Do you want to hold him?”
He was silent, so you looked up at him, seeing the anxious look in his eyes. “What if I hurt it? I don't want to do that.”
You smiled softly. “You trust me?”
He thought for a moment before gently nodding. “I guess, why?”
You signalled for him to hold out his hand, which he did, before gently moving your hand over so the frog could move onto him. You watched as his brown eyes softened, his mouth turning into a grin as he held the tiny creature in his hand. “It’s kind of cute…”
“I hope this doesn't sound weird but may I take a photo of it in your hand? Your face won't be in the picture, of course, but I like infodumping about animals, plants, buildings and history on my Instagram pages that I'm an admin on.”
“Pages, plural?”
“Yes, I have 2. One for nature and history and I have one where I post personal stuff.” He nodded, before allowing you to take some photos. You did, answering his questions about the type of frog as you took photos, him offering to take one of you holding it afterwards, which you gladly accepted. Placing your camera back in your bag after turning it off, you looked back at him as he spoke again. You placed the frog on your knee, luckily having chosen to wear shorts so your clothes weren't getting dirty from the little creature that rested contently on you. 
“Why do you come here?”
“It's… an escape.” He looked at you, his expression unreadable so you continued talking. “When everything gets too loud, when family gets overwhelming, when work is stressful, it's nice to be able to escape here and just listen to the breeze and the water, the trees. It's all just so calming. What about you?”
He nodded, understanding exactly where you came from. “Same.”
“You wanna talk about it?”
He pondered your question for a moment before he decided to explain. “Where I work… people can be quite harsh sometimes. It's like I can never do anything without people hating me. They call me a nepo baby.” He paused, chuckling bitterly. “I know that it sounds stupid, getting frustrated over it, but people always say I don't deserve my job, that the only reason I'm here is because of nepotism. It's mental.” He sighed, looking in your direction, eyes scanning you. “What about you? What's going on with you?”
“My dad, well, step dad's trying to convince me to give him my business now that it's successful. Just like handing it over to him willingly. He invited me over to ask me to willingly give up the thing I built from the ground up.”
“Really? Why would he do that?”
You lifted your hands up, making quotation marks with your hands. “Women shouldn't run businesses, they should marry, have kids and stay at home doing housework.” He snorted, thinking you were joking. “I'm serious.”
“People still think like that?” He looked confused, watching as you nodded, sighing in response to that. Unfortunately, some people were still like that. And it pissed you off a lot.
“Unfortunately, I always wondered why mama willingly gave up working despite absolutely loving her job after they got married.” You shrugged. “He won’t be getting my company though. No way in hell. He only wants it for the money.” You paused, checking your phone. “Speaking of my business. I’ve got a business meeting party thing tonight so I will have to go.”
“It was lovely meeting you.” He smiled at you as you placed the frog on the rock, picking up your tote bag and heading out. 
You went straight home, thinking that he looked familiar but you couldn’t quite put your finger on it. Sat in your hotel room, you decided to paint a bit before you headed for the business event. You wore quite a basic smart casual outfit - some white pants with a green shirt and matching blazer. Your hair was left down and you wore some basic makeup, not feeling like going over the top. 
Stepping into the venue, you sighed. This was something you didn’t love about running a business. Sure, you enjoyed the small delicacies and the free wine you got all evening, but you couldn’t stand the large handful of males who decided that you, a woman, couldn’t understand basic terminology so would spend the entire time mansplaining to you. Usually, you’d bring a friend, but being in Canada, away from your main place of residence, you didn’t really have anyone to bring. So you wandered around the venue quietly, other than stopping to say hi to people as you passed them, champagne in hand. That was until you saw a white-haired man approach you. 
He smiled, seeming rather friendly. He held out his hand. “Hi. Miss Martins, yes?” You nodded. “It's lovely to meet you, I'm Lawrence Stroll.” You shook his hand, smiling back. “Your step-father said that you're here on behalf of his business?”
You shook your head. “Martins Associates?”
“That's my business, not Anthony's,” you said, leading to a look of confusion on his face. “He's been trying to convince me to hand over my business to him willingly now it's doing well.”
“Oh, well I am very sorry if I insulted you there, dear. I genuinely had no idea.”
“No, it's perfectly fine. Has he been telling everyone this?”
Lawrence nodded. “Want me to go have words with the owner of this?”
“I’m meant to be talking later, so I’ll just bring it up then.”
You and Lawrence continued to talk, making friendly conversation. He talked a lot about his son, you realised. You didn’t mind, though. You didn’t usually know what to talk about. He explained about how his son is a Formula One driver and how he was super proud of him and how far he’s come over the years. He then looked around before waving somebody over. Your eyes turned from Lawrence to the person who was being waved over. When you glanced at the familiar man who you had spent time with earlier that day, you smiled. His face twisted from a look of boredom to one of relief, likely at someone he had noticed, someone who wasn’t an old man. “Y/N, this is my son, Lance Stroll. Lance, this is Miss Martins, she runs Martins Associates.”
“Miss Martins. It is very lovely to see you again.” Lance lifted your hand gently, placing a kiss to your knuckles.
“Please, call me Y/N, Mr Stroll.”
“Alright, and you can call me Lance, of course.” His dad excused himself so he turned back to you, a gentle smile on his face. “May I get you a drink?”
The rest of the night went by pretty quickly. You had done your little talk, making it very clear at the start that you owned your business, not your step-father. You then spent the rest of your evening with your new Canadian friend, who you found out also lived in Switzerland, relatively close to you as well. However, eventually, your conversation wrapped up and you had to head home to catch your plane back.

These small tree frogs from the Hylidae family are found in woodland areas of the Eastern states of the USA and Canada. They are usually grey, tan or olive brown with an x-shaped, often irregular, brown mark on it's back. They grow to a length of between 2.5 and 3 cm in size!
This little guy was found by the river on slide 5, when it jumped up onto a nearby rock and I couldn't resist getting a photo of it! Feel free to follow for more history and nature facts!

It was getting annoying, how every driver on the grid noticed your shared feelings for Lance with his mutual feelings being just as telling, and yet not either of you noticed, being too much of a coward to ever tell the other. It started with one driver noticing, Charles, seeing how much you would giggle and blush at the near mention of your teammate, then he spread the word trying to see if there were any chance of Lance liking you back. 
It didn’t take long to notice, seeing the way Lance would always laugh extra hard at your nonsensical jokes and lean into your presence. So, it was meant to be easy enough to convince one to share their feelings that were so obviously mutual. He quickly gathered it wouldn’t be so easy. 
“I’m not ruining my friendship with her just because you have this silly theory of her liking me back” Lance rolled his eyes, gathering his things to depart having just finished practice for the race on Sunday. Charles groaned for the 100th time this month of trying to convince him to just tell the girl. 
But he couldn’t possibly understand how scared Lance truly was, you two met once you signed for Aston Martin. He was excited to have a new teammate, a chance to make a new friend but the second he saw you with a bright smile, he fell. He couldn’t stop stumbling over his words as he tried to make conversation and you only giggled at his attempt. You two got close over time and while many thought you two were already in a relationship, with flushed cheeks you would deny all the rumours. 
“It’s not silly, it's quite irritating how you don’t notice her smile whenever you are around” Charles attempted to explain but he just received a shaken head as Lance walked out, leaving Charles to come up with a plan his own to get him to finally tell you. 
Originally, he tried telling you Lance held mutual feelings but you immediately denied those thoughts, seeing no point in it as it would just gather too much media trying your best not to get your hopes up about some silly teenage crush. He saw your point in it so now he wanted Lance to do something about it. 
The next morning was qualifying, you said your good mornings to the team of engineers, making sure you smiled confidently. You finally arrived at your garage, having your race suit already placed on, just needing to zip it up before you heard the voice behind you that send your heart on a marathon spree. 
“Good morning” he simply said with his welcoming smile, you could feel your insides get giddy somehow getting a wave of nerves as you just whispered a simple greeting back with a small smile, already hating the way your cheeks were starting to burn and your confidence that was there long before seemed to vanish. “Good luck out there” he patted your side, a friendly gesture that made you tense at the contact but Lance didn’t notice, you only nodded saying the same before zipping up your suit and getting ready for qualifying. 
You ended up at p5, not bad, seeing Lance be right behind you. You congratulated the other drivers, getting to Charles and giving him a quick hug like the rest but noticeably, it seemed more like an embrace. From afar, Lance noticed as well practically feeling his heart pound against his chest as he observed the extended conversation between you and Charles. Normally, seeing your happy state would send his heart on overdrive making his own mind dizzy but knowing who it was directed to made his own smile drop at the sight. 
“You okay?” one of his engineers took him out of his daze, taking a final glance at Charles who had his hand on your shoulder with increasing intimate eye contact before finally being able to take his eyes off you. The engineer took note of this, as well knowing of the mutual feelings, telling him “You should just tell her before it's too late”
“I think it already is too late” he simply shrugged with a small frown ignoring the way he could feel his own heart tear. His engineer held sympathy for the driver, patting him on the back before he could get his smile back on his features for interviews. 
On the day of the race, Lance couldn’t help but look for you, asking around until he finally received information that you were in the Ferrari garage catching up with Charles. He stopped looking for you after that, just getting to his own garage and trying to ignore the lingering thoughts he held of you in order to not get too distracted on the race. 
“Heard you were looking for me?” your voice made his heart spike up, he turned to you seeing your soft smile with your helmet in hand. He tried to think of an excuse quickly enough but was unable to as he just brushed it off saying with little care in his tone
“It’s nothing, I’ll tell you after the race” You just nodded, stepping back kind of disappointed by the cut-short conversation. 
The only reason for you being at the Ferrari garage was because Charles kept trying to tell you about his plan and how he was able to spot the jealousy in Lance's eyes. You just told him it was impossible, you didn’t even see Lance after you bid your farewell to Charles after qualifying trying to look for your teammate but not seeing him anywhere. 
Starting the formation lap you disallowed any thoughts of Lance to enter your brain not needing to be distracted after having such a close shot of going into the podium last race. Lance attempted to do the same, he had always done it before, but seeing you with Charles was something he couldn’t process out. 
Lights out. The race started with a great reaction time from you, immediately going forward. You passed George who stood at 4th, gaining a position. You meant to congratulate yourself for that fast process in the future, the first half lacked any interest as you tried to gain another position, trying to get in front of Checo. 
But a red flag caught your eye. Being worried, you connected yourself with the engineer attempting to ask if anyone was hurt. 
“Just a crash, please stay focused” is a bit strange. They always told you who was involved, unless. No. 
“Who was it?” you tried to keep calm, trying your best to focus on the race already spotting George not long behind me. Receiving no answer, you grew irritated throwing a threat to them “Tell me who it was or I will eliminate myself” 
“It was Stroll, he is fine” they finally told you, your heart ached wanting to see if he was alright but you knew that wasn’t possible. 
The race finished and you came out in P3 after having a last-minute overtaking Checo. You couldn’t care less about the celebration, counting down the seconds before you could check on Lance. 
Right after the celebration, you pushed your way through the crowd and interviews wanting to talk to you about your first podium, refusing to acknowledge your engineers telling you to go back there. 
“I need to check on Lance” you kept repeating to yourself, trying to search every room until you finally saw him laying rather comfortably on the couch. You barged in and he immediately sat up but calmed down at your presence before giving you a confused look,
“What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to have interviews?” he asked and you immediately sat down next to him, analyzing every little detail to ensure he was really alright. Your quiet state worried him but then he remembered the news “Heard you got P3, congrats”
“I don’t care about that right now” you dismissed it, leaning your hand to touch his face. “Are you alright?’ 
“I’m fine” he bluntly stated now remembering who you were with not too long ago. “Shouldn’t you be with Charles?
“Why would I be with Charles?” you asked, confused by what he was stating. He couldn’t have possibly thought you held any romantic interest in the Ferrari driver, did he?
“Aren’t you two together?” now he was the confused one. This only made you laugh, now being able to see a little part of him get jealous you said, 
“No, you fool. I like you” you finally confessed making his own lips curve up into a small smile before enlarging seeing that you were being quite serious about the entire thing. 
“Really?” he just needed a confirmation and you nodded with a shy smile. He grabbed the two sides of your face and pushed himself to meet with your paired lips catching you surprised before melting into his embrace.

Part Two: Keeping It Professional
---- 
Saturday 
Being an intern for Aston Martin was the dream. You were traveling the world doing what you loved. You worked with the PR and media department for the team and you couldn't be happier. You had gotten to know everyone on the team pretty well, from the mechanics to the factory crew, to the PR team and the drivers; Sebastian was always nothing but kind to you, stopping to have a conversation whenever he saw you, asking how you’ve getting along there. Lance was sweet too, the two of you closer in age than you and Sebastian. He wasn't all the most talkative but he was always nice to you. 
The Canadian Grand Prix was Lance’s home race and it just so happened to be yours as well. Lance had grown up in Montreal and you were from Toronto which was only a few hours away from there. 
You were sitting in the garage watching the qualifying session when your phone rang, you stepped into the hallway to answer the call; your mother. 
“Hello ?” 
“Hi darling! How are you?” Your mother's voice came from the other end of the call. “Are you coming home this week? I know you have the week off.” She asks and you already regret telling her about the week between the Canadian GP and Silverstone. 
“I suppose I am. Why ?” you ask her, glancing over to see Lance pulling back into the garage. Has qualifying ended already ? 
“Your dad and I were wondering if you were bringing that boyfriend of yours. He's there with you, isn't he?” She asks and you sigh.
“I don’t know, we’ll see. I’ve gotta go, mom.” 
“Oh, of course. Call me before you come down!” She says and it’s like you can see the smile on her face. 
“Yeah, no problem.” You end the call and tuck the phone in your pocket. 
You’re hiding in the hallway, trying to figure out how to explain to your mom that there is no boyfriend in the picture and that you’ve been lying to them this whole time. 
There’s a hand on your shoulder, pulling you from your thoughts. You assume it’s Sebastian before even looking up because he’s the only one who stops in the hallway to chat. Imagine the surprise when you look up and find Lance in front of you. 
The driver smiles at you, leaning on the wall across from you. “Any plans for this week?” He asks, small talk was his specialty you’ve learned. 
You shrug, “maybe back to London after the race.” 
Lance's brows furrow, sipping on his water before he speaks. “How come? Aren't you headed home for the week? You live like.. a few hours from here, no?” 
“Yeah but my mom is really getting on my nerves. She wants me to come to my cousin’s wedding and bring my boyfriend but I don’t have a boyfriend and she doesn’t know that but she’s really pushing me, it’s just irritating.” You sigh, but then realize you've bared your issue to the last person who probably wants to hear it. 
You give him an apologetic look. “Oh god, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to drop all that on you.” 
Lance waves you off, smiling. “It’s fine.” Lance is quiet for a moment, as if he was thinking before he speaks. ‘If you want, I'll go with you.” 
You’re looking at him, part confusion and part shock which he can tell based on the look on your face. “What?”
“I’ll go with you.” He nods. You shake your head, “no, you won’t.” You’re laughing now and Lance is looking at you like you’ve lost your mind. 
“You said your mom is expecting you to bring a boyfriend. I’ll go with you and pretend to be your boyfriend.” He’s so nonchalant about the whole thing. 
“I’m leaving on Tuesday and I won’t be heading to London until the following Monday. Do you really want to spend a whole week with my family ?” 
“If they’re anything like you, then yeah.” He smiles. Your heart flutters at his words; he really thought that about you? That he’d be willing to spend a week with you? 
“Lance, you really don’t have to do this. They’re kinda crazy.” You laugh, shifting from one foot to the other. “Plus I’m sure you have better things to do. Don’t you want to spend time with your family ?” 
“Everyone’s coming for the race tomorrow. My parents are headed on their anniversary trip next week and Chloe is going out with Scotty so I'll be here by myself. I was just going to hang around here anyways. I don’t mind.” 
You hum, debating if you should let him. “Why are you so insistent on coming with you?” 
“Because I want to be nice, and I know how many times you’ve covered for me without me asking.” He smiles.
“I don’t cover for you.” You did; you always covered for Lance. 
“So why did Julia ask about my car troubles the other day?” Lance's brows raise when he looks at you. You just shrug, picking at a thread on your shirt. “Had nothing to do with the fact that you covered for me while I had a hangover?” 
“When'd you have a hangover?” You ask, a smile on your face. Lance chuckles, nodding. “Right.” 
“But if you’re absolutely sure you want to come with me, you can pick me up Tuesday.” You glance at him and he nods. “Bright and early, Tuesday morning.”
You begin walking down the hallway back to the garage when you turn and shout to him; “you’re driving!” 
“I wouldn't dream of anything else!” He shouts back. You pause, “you’re dreaming of me? How sweet.” You rest a hand on your chest. 
Lance laughs and blows you a kiss just for the heck of it before heading into his driver’s room. 
---
Tuesday 
As he promised, Lance was at the hotel to pick you up bright and early. The two of you decided that Tuesday would be best simply because Monday would be a madhouse of traffic with people leaving from the race, plus you could both use the day of rest. You were lugging two suitcases out the front door of the hotel and a duffle bag over your shoulder. He comes over and takes one of the suitcases and the duffle bag. 
“Did you pack your entire apartment ?” He laughed, lifted the suitcases into the trunk, rearranging the stuff to fit your stuff inside. 
You roll your eyes, “we’ve been on the road for 2 weeks, a girl needs her stuff, okay?” 
Lance lifts his hands in surrender. “Let’s go before we hit traffic.” He gets in the car as do you. 
“I need coffee.” You tell him when he pulls out of the parking lot. 
“There’s a Starbucks before we get on the highway.” He’s fiddling with the settings on the dash screen, trying to set the GPS. You push his hand away and set it yourself, “Starbucks ? We’re in Canada. Pull into the Tim Hortons.” You point to the one coming up. 
“Do you see that line? We’re definitely gonna hit traffic.” 
“Lance, please. I cannot make it through this trip without coffee and I cannot bear to deal with these people. I’ll help you drive.” 
Lance sighs, turning into the parking lot before finding his way to the drive thru. You quickly learned that Lance would give into you if you give him a please and some puppy eyes. 
The Tims’ wasn’t extremely busy, it was more so that they were slow. After what felt like the world’s longest 30 minutes, you both finally managed to get onto the highway. Lance refused to let you drive even though you had offered before he pulled onto the highway.  The traffic was building but it was still moving. It’s half past 9 in the morning and the sun is starting to peek through the clouds. 
About an hour into the drive, the traffic comes to a total standstill and you’re sitting in the car, avoiding Lance’s glare. “What did I tell you?” He asks, brown eyes fixed on you. 
You shrug, sipping on your coffee. Lance shakes his head before propping his elbow on the window and resting his head on his hand. 
The car’s in park because you haven’t moved from your spot in the last 40 minutes. Between Montreal and before you reach back towards the residential areas, consisted of a lot of forest area and the occasional farm house. Something moving in the trees to your right catches you attention. 
“Lance?” you call and he hums, his eyes on his phone. “Lance!” You smack his arm and he looks at you. “What?!” He groans, rubbing his arm. 
You point to shadow in the trees. “Something’s moving.” You whisper, as if it could hear you. Lance looks out your window, “there’s nothing there.” 
“Look!” You point to the trees, there’s clearly something large moving between them. 
Lance unbuckles and leans over, his arms resting on your thighs as he peers out your window. He even rolls it down to get a better view. He smiles to himself, turning to look at you. 
“It’s a moose.” He says casually, still in the same position. 
Your brows furrow, but you can feel how fast your heart is beating. Lance’s face is inches from yours, his eyes meeting yours. There’s a honk, startling the two of you and he sits up, back in his seat now when he realizes that the traffic has started to move. Lance takes the car out of park and starts driving. 
“So uh,” you clear your throat. “My mom is sorta hell bent on me staying at home for the week. You’re more than welcome to join me, well, she wants you to stay with us. She insisted on it; but only if you’re comfortable! I know it’s gonna be hectic with all my aunts and uncles, and their kids.” 
Lance doesn't answer so you look over at him, “but if you wanna stay in a hotel, that’s totally fine too. There’s one not too far from the house. I’ll change the GPS-” you go to change the GPS but Lance grabs your hand to move it. He doesn’t let go when he puts his hand back on his lap. 
“I’m staying with you.” 
“You really don’t have to, if you don't want. The house is gonna be hectic.” You mumble, looking anywhere but at your hand on his lap. 
“We’re dating, aren't we? Gotta make it believable sugar plum.” Lance lifts your hand and presses a kiss to it. 
“Did you just call me sugar plum?” You laugh and Lance nods, smiling. 
Over the course of the drive, you tell him about your family and what to expect from them. You also tell him how there’s gonna be a lot of you staying in one house because your parents are the only ones living close to the venue. After the brief stint of traffic, it was clear the rest of the way. You two stop 3 times; once for food, then for gas and then the final stop before you get into the city, you just need to mentally prepare yourself for them. You offered to drive each time you stepped but Lance refused to let you behind the wheel.  
You must have dozed off at some point because when you opened your eyes, the car had stopped. You sit up, looking out the window. “How was your nap?” Lance asks, unbuckling. 
“Fine- wait.” You grab his hand, stopping him from getting out of the car. “Are you okay?” His hand in yours, eyes studying your face.
“I’m sorry but can we leave? We’ll stay somewhere else.” 
“I would love nothing more than to whisk you away y/n, but I think it’s a little too late for that.” He nods towards the couple standing on the porch. 
You sigh, “my parents.” You mumbles, and he nods.��“You look like your mom,” he smiles, getting out of the car. You follow him, the two of you standing by the trunk and Lance lifts the suitcases out. 
“I’m right here,” He gives your arm a squeeze before rolling the luggage towards the porch. 
“Seems like an awful lot of stuff to bring when you’re meeting your girlfriend’s parents.” Your dad tells Lance, eyeing the 3 suitcases opposed to your one duffle bag. 
“Oh no, sir. Two of these are your daughter’s plus her bag. This one’s mine.” He points out the smallest blue one of the three. The older man laughs, “that makes more sense.” 
You were being smothered in a hug by your mom before she moved onto Lance, squeezing him tight. “Oh, you two are the cutest things I've seen.” The woman grins, eyeing the two of you side by side. 
You glance at Lance who’s smiling at your parents and he slings an arm over your shoulder. “Got lucky with this one,” he smiles, pulling you into his side. 
Lance and your father take the luggage inside, the 4 of you met by an entire living room of people. Most of your family had arrived on Sunday and would be staying there until the following Sunday. You introduced Lance to everyone; all 4 sets of aunts and uncles, along with the 7 cousins of yours that would be staying. 
“We’re all headed out for dinner in a bit, I hope you two will join us.” Your aunt says, smiling at you and Lance. “We’d love to but I think y/n is going to want to freshen up a bit, we’ll meet you guys there?” He offers, knowing you’ll want some downtime before dealing with all of that. 
“Of course, I'll send y/n the address.” She smiles at Lance, before you lead him down the hallway to your bedroom.  
Once the two of you are in the room, you shut the door and just toss yourself on the bed. Lance quietly sits beside you, his hand rubbing along your back gently. 
“Are you okay ? We can skip dinner if you want. We can get something nearby instead.” He offers, scooting to lay beside you when you roll onto your back. 
“Thank you but no, we’ll go so they can’t say we were ‘up to no good’ as my mother would say.” 
“What’s ‘up to no good’ mean?” He asks and answers his own question the same time you do, “sex.” You both, laughing. 
--- 
You and Lance were sitting beside each other, his arm over the back of your chair as you picked at the brownie in front of you. The conversation was flowing considering that there were 19 of you at dinner. Your group took over a whole section of the restaurant. 
“Is it cold?” He whispers and you look at him, confused. “The brownie,” he says, “is it cold?” 
“Oh no,” you shook your head. “Still warm. Want some?”
Lance opens his mouth which was an answer in itself. You get some ice cream with brownie on the spoon before feeding him. You can feel the eyes on you and you glance over to see one of your aunts looking at you two lovingly. 
“You two are adorable,” She grins, “how’d you meet?” 
Lance smiles at the woman, stepping up to his role as the doting boyfriend when you completely blank. You covered every topic from here to the sun about you and your family and him and his family but yet, you didn't come up with a backstory. 
“Oh well you know how it goes, Marie. She's the new, pretty intern and I drive for Aston Martin. I took a liking to her but her with me? Not so much,” he says, making her laugh. “Your niece kept brushing me off and I eventually won her over with my charm.” He flashes her a smile. 
You lean into Lance, adding onto your image of the perfect couple. 
The waiter comes by and asks if everyone is okay and if you’d like the bill, finding out how everyone would like to split it. After the waiter leaves, Lance excuses himself to go to the bathroom and you think nothing of it. The waiter returns and everyone asks where the bill is, only to find out it had been taken care of. When your father asks by who, the waiter points to the man sitting next to you. You turn to Lance, shocked, as is everyone else at the table. A round of thank you and you didn’t have to do that was sent his way only for him to insist that it was fine, he wanted to do something nice for his girlfriend’s family. 
The men head outside first, bringing the cars up one by one, that way no one would have to walk outside in the chill night breeze to the cars. You were waiting for Lance when the waiter taps you on the shoulder, handing you a piece of paper. 
“I forgot to give your husband the bill.” He smiles and your brows furrow. “My hus- oh right,” you smile, “thank you.” 
You glance at the bill, you assume the tab would have been big but not that big. You tuck it into your pocket before heading out to the car to meet up with Lance. 
About half way through the drive, he finally glances over at you and asks; “why have you been staring me down for the last 20 minutes?” 
“$460.” You say, looking at the man.  He stops at the red light, looking over at you. “What ?” 
“The bill from dinner.” 
“Oh, yeah.” He shrugs. “That’s a lot of money, Lance.” 
“It’s nothing,” he tells you and you shake your head. “I’ll pay you back.” 
Lance rolls his eyes, “dad pays you well but not that well. I’m not letting you pay me back.” 
The rest of the drive was you grumbling about how you’re gonna pay him back because that’s too big of a bill to cover for people he doesn’t even know. 
Once you arrived back at the house, you and Lance say your goodnights only to find a blow up mattress in your bedroom, next to your bed. There’s a knock on the door and you already know where this is going. 
“Dad, you know I'm not a teenager anymore? I’m allowed to have a boy in my bed.” You call out to the man who you know is on the other side of the door. 
Your father sticks his head into the room, “I know but I also know how young men are,” he tossed a glance at Lance. “Sleep well, kiddos.” He smiles and shuts the door again. 
Lance steps out for you to change and somehow manages to get into the bathroom to change himself before returning. You were already on the bed when he came back in, flopping down on the air mattress. You roll onto your side, looking down at him on the little brown bed. 
“Are you regretting saying yes to staying here?” 
“No,” he laughs, “it’s nice that they care enough to do this.” 
“Your past girlfriends’ parents didn’t do this?” 
Lance shook his head, “their parents didn’t care or they weren't around enough to care.” 
You hum, you roll onto your back and face the ceiling. The two of you laying in silence for quite a while. “If you want, you can come up here.” You whisper, unsure if he was still awake. 
“And break your dad’s rule? He’d kill me.” 
You roll back over to look at Lance. “Are you serious ?” “As a heart attack.” He smiles.

Wednesday 
The hangers clattered against each other when you pushed through to search for a dress to wear to the wedding. You didn’t like anything you brought with you from London and you could not find anything in the stupid closet to wear. Groaning, you fall back onto the bed and run a hand over your face. 
When you hear the door open, you sit up; a shirtless Lance walks in, a towel sitting low on his hips and one in his hands as he rubbed his hair, trying to dry it. 
You didn’t mean to ogle at the man but you couldn't help it. 
“Sorry, I didn’t know you were in here.” He says, going about his business. “I’ll step out-” you get off the bed and Lance turns to face you. 
“Why?” 
You point out the obvious. “You’re changing.” 
“It’s your room, y/n. Stay, it’s fine. I heard groaning though, you okay?” He asks, and you turn back to the closet and look through once more. 
“Just looking for something to wear.” 
“You had 2 suitcases and a duffle bag, plus your entire closet; still nothing ?” He calls out and you shrug, looking through once more in hopes of finding something. 
It gets quiet for a moment and you turn around to see Lance is half dressed now; a pair of joggers hanging off his waist, rubbing your chapstick on his lips. 
“Is that my chapstick ?” 
“Oh shit, sorry. I should have asked first.” 
“No, no, it’s fine. I- the smell doesn’t bother you?” eyeing the green tube in his hand, he shrugs. “No ? I love mint.” 
You turn your attention back to the closet and Lance walks over, stretching out on your bed as he scrolls through his phone before you sit on the bed beside Lance. The driver glances at you before scrolling through his phone. He laughs, lifting his arm to show you the video playing on the screen; a puppy rubbing its nose on the baby's belly, making him laugh. You smile, admiring the man lying beside you; the grin on his face to the crinkles by his eyes when he laughed.  Suddenly, it feels a little too good to be true but you brush the feeling away when you notice the tattoo on his ribs. 
“What does it mean?” You ask, unable to pull your eyes away from the scripture on his side. 
“Fortune favours the bold.” He sits up and lifts his arm, letting you get a better look at it.
Your fingers run along the ink, the raised skin gliding under your fingers. “It’s beautiful.”
“Do you have any ?” He asks, eyeing your bare arms. “Me? No,” you chuckle, “too scared.” 
“I’ll take you, we can get matching ones. Little maple leafs as tribute to home sweet home.” He chuckled and you raised your brows, smiling. “Yeah, if pigs fly, sure.”  
Lance hums, laying back before looking at you. “Did you seriously not find anything to wear? The wedding’s in 2 days.” You groan, laying back beside him, tuning your head to face him. “Don’t remind me.”
“Let me take you shopping.” 
“No, you covered dinner and you’re here. That’s enough.” 
“I didn’t mean foot the bill, dummy.” He rolls his eyes, “I’ll drive you.” 
You sit up and look at him, “you are aware that I know how to drive?” “I would hope so,” he gets off the bed and pulls on a shirt; much to your displeasure. 
“Come on, do you really want to spend the day with your family ? I know you don’t.” Lance grabs your hands, pulling you towards the edge of the bed. 
“Noooo,” you groan, laying back. “I’m lazy plus it's sooo hot outside.” 
Lance gets on the bed, he’s practically straddling you and his arms are on either side of you. “You need to get up to look for a dress.” He tells you. He even offered to stop at Tims for you, in hopes of getting you up but alas, you were laying under him still. 
“Baby, if you don't get your ass up, I'll carry you out to the car.” He says sweetly, a smile on his face. 
You hook your arms over his shoulders, smiling back at him; two can play this game. 
Lance flips the two of you, you’re on his lap and your hands are on his chest. “This isn't very friend like of you, Lance,” you gesture to yourself on his lap. 
“It isn’t?” His hands finding their way to your thighs. The short sundress you had on was bunched at your thighs, just over Lance’s hands. He glances up at you, his hands slowly moving up. 
This is a little too dangerous; the game has shifted to something else. 
Lance moves one of his hands to your lower back, a soft push and you’re flat against his chest. “Friends don’t do this, do they?” He asks. 
“We’re dating, aren't we?” You’re sitting on his lap, his arms around your waist, hands on your ass when he sits up. He pats your butt, “come on, up. We’re gonna hit traffic.” 
“Oh my god,” you groan, getting off his lap. “You and this traffic bro.” You roll your eyes before fixing your hair and grab your purse. “Ready?” 
Lance nods, following you through the house and out to the car. Much to your surprise, you hit no traffic and ended up downtown in maybe 30 minutes plus the extra 15 it took after you made Lance pull in to Tim Hortons to get you an ice Capp. 
--
You are about ready to call it quits. 
It has been 3 of the longest hours of your life, your legs hurt and it’s far too hot to be outside. 14 different stores and you’ve yet to find anything you like. At this point, you might as well go home and call it a day. Lance was not ready to quit; you set out to find a dress, and you will find a dress. He’s so patient, sitting outside of every dressing room, zipping you up or giving his opinions; when asked of course. He even runs back and forth to get you different sizes or different colours.
“Okay!” you call to him, “last one but I’m not sure how I feel about this.” 
“Let's see it.” Lance sets the phone on his lap when you step out of the dressing room. 
His face twists unintentionally; “my thoughts exactly.” You tell him, looking at yourself in the mirror. It was a beautiful yellow, the floral pattern had caught your eye and it looked promising on the hanger but on you, not so much. It was making you look square and that was not what you were looking for. 
You change out of the dress, meeting Lance by the door. He steps out first, holding the door for you. “I’m ready to go home.” You tell him, groaning. 
Lance sighs, putting his sunglasses on. “You need a dress, you’re gonna complain on the day of if you don't find one now.” 
“How do you know that?” you ask him, rolling your eyes at the truth. 
“Because, I do.” He flashes you a smile, the two of you walking down the sidewalk towards a store. 
“How are you so patient though? My exes would have lost their minds with all of that.” You laugh and Lance shrugs. “I grew up with a sister plus dad wasn't always around, so I was there with my mom and my sister when I wasn't karting. I’m used to it.” 
You had been stopped when Lance grabs your arm and pulls you back towards him. “What ?” you ask him, looking in the window. He points to something and pulls you inside. 
“This seems a bit aggressive,” you pull your arm away from the driver, looking at him. Lance ignores you, sorting through the rack of dresses in front of you. You watch as he carefully sorts through, pulling out some and setting them back.  
What was his plan? You have no idea, you were just enjoying the air conditioning because you were boiling even though you two had only been outside for 5 minutes between stores. 
Lance turns to you, a hanger in his hand. You looked between him and the dress. He gestures to the dress with his free hand, a grin on his face; clearly proud of his dress picking skills. The dress was stunning, you had to give him that much. A emerald green satin dress, a low cut front with a slit on side and slight ruching to pull in the shape of it. 
“It’s almost like you want me to look like a walking advertisement for Aston Martin.” You laugh, the colour screaming at you. 
“Humour me, y/n. Plus we both know you look good in green anyways.” He compliments you and your usual green attire around the track.
You can feel the blush creeping up your cheeks when you take the dress from him, Lance following you to the dressing room, sitting outside. The moment you put the dress on, you know it's the one. You didn’t even have to zip it up to know. 
Maybe humouring him did pay off. 
“Ready?” You stick your head out from behind the curtain. Lance nods, sitting up a little more. “Let’s see.” 
Stepping out, you turn to face him. Lance spins his finger and you do a spin for him. The smile on your face was enough to show him that this was the one. 
“You look.. I don’t think there are words to describe how stunning you look right now.”  
“Oh shut up, Lance.” You laugh, smoothing the front of the dress when you look at yourself in the mirror. “It’s true,” he nods, “you look beautiful.” 
“Thank you.” 
He waves you off. “Go change, I’ll take it to the front.” He tells you, waiting for you to change and hand the dress off to him which you do. 
After a few minutes, you find Lance by the register, talking to the sales girl. “Alright, how much- Lance what the hell!” You exclaim, your brows knitted when you see the man with the dress bag. 
“I know you didn’t buy that dress for me.” “I did, did you have something to add in?” He feels his pocket with his free hand to find his wallet. 
“No!” You shook your head. You thank the sales girl and you and Lance head out. 
The two of you walk back towards the parking lot, Lance carries the bag and you’re on your phone. You bump into someone, causing you to look up. “Sorry! I wasn’t- Ben ?” you pause, looking at the man in front of you. 
“Oh hey y/n! How are you?” the blonde asks you and you shrug. “Fine, you?” 
“Good.” He smiles, “Who’s this?” he glances at Lance, the driver has a scowl on his face and you could see the glare he was giving him through his dark sunglasses. 
“This is my-” “boyfriend. I’m Lance.” He cuts you off, introducing himself. “You are?” He asks the other man. 
“Ben, her ex boyfriend- well, we’re friends, aren't we?” Ben laughs, nudging you. Lance shifts closer to you, his hand reaching for yours and interlocks fingers with you. 
“No, we’re not.” You give him a tight lipped smile. 
Ben awkwardly chuckles, glancing at you and Lance. “Ready, sweetheart? We’ve got reservations, remember ?” Lance asks you, already ready to pull you away from Ben. 
“Bye Ben!” You shout back to the man who was still standing there when you walk off with Lance, crossing the road to get into his car. Lance sets your dress on the backseat before opening the door for you, tossing one more glare in Ben’s direction before getting in. 
“We have reservations ? Nice one.” You chuckle, checking your phone. 
Lance smiles, pulling off and heading down towards the lakeshore. Even on your week off, you had work to do so while Lance drove, you replied to some emails on your phone. It was another 15 minutes before the car came to a full stop. 
You look up and to your right, was the lakeshore and on the left, was your favourite restaurant. “What are we doing here?” 
“We have reservations. Didn’t you hear me?” He smiles at you, getting out of the car. 
Lance kept surprising you. 
Once you two are seated, you make small talk and order. Lance turns to you, “do you have jewellery for the dress?” 
“I do, but I didn’t even ask what you’re wearing.” 
“I have a few different shirts, but black pants and maybe a black shirt? I’ll let you pick, but I need a tie.” He tells you, sipping on his water. 
“There’s a place a few doors down from here, they sell nice ties if I remember correctly. We can check after if you want.” 
“Sounds like a plan.” 
The two of you had a quiet lunch which was nice after the hectic house you left and all the shopping so you two relaxed for a bit. The restaurant wasn’t busy either so you practically almost had the whole place to yourselves. Lance was good company even away from the fake dating thing you two found yourselves in. You quickly learned a lot about him because it turns out that quiet Lance actually loves to talk when in the right company. 
Afterwards, you both head towards the store down the road and sort through the various shades of green before settling on two of them that could match either of the shirts that Lance has with him.
Lance glances at you, “aren't you glad I dragged you out the house?” 
“I think you did almost everything but drag me out the house but sure, whatever you say.” You smile at the man, swatting his hand away when he pinches your thigh. 
Thursday
Half past 9 in the morning and Lance was still snoring quietly on his little bed. He refused to break your dad's rule and come sleep on the bed with you. 
There were still last minute errands that needed to be done and you had gotten up early to meet some of your cousins to help out. 
It would be rude to leave and not tell Lance so after you showered, you found yourself sitting on the air mattress, gently shaking him. “Hey, hey.” You shook him, he groaned and rolled away from you. 
“Lance, come on.” You nudge him, peeking over his shoulder. Lance barely opened his eyes and grumbled something before shutting them again. 
“I’m heading out to help my cousins, are you gonna be okay?” 
Lance hums, his hand reaching for you and pulling you back to him. You sort of tumble and end up beside him. “Are you awake?” You look over at him. 
“Too early.” he whispers, his voice laced with sleep. 
“I have to go, will you be okay?” you lay on your side, looking at him; Lance had shifted, one arm tucked under his head and his eyes shut. He looked so peaceful and handsome, it was making it hard for you to leave. 
Lance only wrapped himself about you and tightened his grip on you when you went to get up. He wasn’t sleeping - he was being difficult. 
“C’mon, I gotta go.” 
“No,” he hums, kissing your shoulder. “Who’s gonna warm me up?” 
“The AC is off and you stole my comforter from me,” You sigh, leaning back against him. “Okay but I want my sugar plum.” 
You shift to fully look at him; was he awake or half asleep? 
“Are you delusional ?” “What ?” Lance finally opens his eyes to look at you, an offended look on his face. 
“Never mind,” you shook your head, “are you gonna let me go?” 
“No, we’re going back to sleep.” He snuggled into your side. “Can we at least move onto my bed?” You glance back at him and Lance is already up and jumping onto your bed. 
“God,” he stretches, relaxing into the mattress. “This is so comfortable.” 
You toss the blanket on the bed, crawling next to him as you settle into his side, your head on his chest with his arm around you.  “I told you to come sleep up here.” 
“I thought you were trying to seduce me,” he joked, pulling the blanket over the two of you. “Me?! What about the other day? You were feeling me up.” 
“Oh please, you sat on my lap.” Lance mumbles, eyes closed. 
“Fuck off,” you give him a shove, rolling to face away from him. You weren't mad but you wanted to irritate him. 
Lance presses a kiss to your shoulder, “sweetheart, I know you’re not mad.” 
“I am.” 
Lance rolls his eyes, pulling you onto your back. He hums when he sees the look on your face; “Grumpy.” He mumbles, kissing your shoulder and up to your neck. You didn’t say anything, wanting to see if he'd be bold enough to finally do something. 
From the moment in the car to now, you couldn’t stop thinking about what it would be like to kiss him and yet, Lance kept making moves with zero pay off. 
Your hand finds his face, holding his jaw between your thumb and fingers. “Are you going to kiss me or what?” 
Lance doesn’t hesitate, his lips finding yours the moment the words leave your mouth. Your hand lets go, resting on his jaw instead while you pull him closer with the other hand. You tug on his shirt, he gets the hint and sits up, pulling it off. 
Surely, you had seen him shirtless countless times, even yesterday, but this was different but you barely had a moment to process before Lance was taking off your shirt, his hands snaking down to your hips when he kissed down between your tits and to your stomach. Before he could go further, the door swings open. Both of your parents were standing there and neither of you could say anything because the door shut as quick as it opened. Lance sits up, looking at you and the panic on his face was evident. 
“Are we-” he looks between you and the door. 
“No.” You sit up, “I wouldn’t touch that with a ten foot pole.” 
The two of you end up getting off the bed, getting dressed as quickly as possible before heading into the kitchen. “Morning,” you hum, pouring a cup of coffee for yourself. 
Your mom slides a plate over to Lance who sat at the counter, watching you. Your father was staring down Lance, who shifts in his seat. 
“Will you two be joining us to decorate ?” Your mother asks, giving your father a shove so he stops staring at Lance. The driver ignores your father’s gaze by focusing on his pancakes, pouring the maple syrup onto them. 
“Yup, Lance needs to take a quick shower and then we’ll meet you guys there.” You glance around the empty house when you sit beside Lance. 
“I bet he does.” Your father grumbles, making you gag. “Ew!” You groan, Lance’s face is as red as a tomato. 
“Leave them alone!” Your mom smacks your father’s arm, pushing him out of the kitchen. “We’ll see you guys there, don’t be too long!”
When the front door slams shut, Lance groans and buries his face into your shoulder. “How am I ever going to face your parents after that?” 
“Who decided to be all horny this morning? Grow up, Lance.” You get up, walking around to set the empty coffee cup in the sink. 
Lance gives you a glare, “me? Who asked me to kiss them?” now getting up and walking over to you. 
You’re leaning the counter looking at him, your arms folding across your chest. Lance’s hands are on your waist, hoisting you up onto the counter before he finds his way between your legs. “Might I add that I didn’t say to get me naked.” You say, smiling. 
Lance kisses you, “shut up,” he mumbles against your lips. 
At some point, you two let go of each other, probably after Lance’s phone starts buzzing incessantly in his pocket. His sister calls him about something, you sneak a few kisses in while he’s on the phone and you manage to wash the mountain of dishes in the sink before he gets off the phone. 
When you finally left the house, you had to make a stop to pick up some stuff from your cousin’s place before heading to the hall. It was all hands on deck at that point because when you two arrived, everyone had stopped for lunch. 
It was now half past 4 in the afternoon and you guys needed to get out of there by 6 because the hall on the other side had an event coming in.  
Lance was helping your uncles and dad build the arch your cousin wanted while you and your aunts were setting the tables and the centrepieces. 
Where were the bride and groom, you ask? Relaxing at home. 
Your dad called you over to hang the flowers on the arch the way your cousin wanted because you were the only one she trusted with the decorating. You were standing on a chair under the arch trying to loop the stems though the top, standing on tiptoes to peek over a little more. There's a hand on your waist the moment you start to feel yourself wobble and no surprise when you look over, you find Lance smiling at you. 
“Can you two stop ogling each other and finish this?” Your other cousin, Micheal groans. “Fuck off, Mikey,” you toss a flower in his direction. 
---- 
Friday
Wedding day; the house was in total chaos mode. 
Everyone had been getting up since 9am, trying to get all 19 of you out the door and to the venue for 6pm which is starting to look more and more impossible as the hours go by. 
Lance had left you in bed, showering first and coming back to wake you up around 11. 
“Sugarplum,” he peppers your face with kisses, you hum and roll away from the man. “Baby, come on. Your cousins’ are gone, better get up before they come back.” 
“Noooo,” you groan, burying your face into the pillow. Lance lays beside you, rubbing your back softly like the first night you two were in there. 
“Fine, keep sleeping but I’ve got to run out and get something after I help your dad drop some stuff off so I'll be gone for a while, okay?” He whispers to you and you finally roll over and face him. “You’re leaving me alone with these crazy people ?” 
“By crazy people, you mean your family?” He laughs, brushing the hair from your face. You hum, burying your face in his chest. 
“You smell good.” You mumble and Lance chuckles, you can feel the vibration of his chest against you. 
“I’ll be back in a few hours, okay ?” He pulls away slightly so he can look at you. “Don’t forget to eat.” He reminds you, knowing how you were; most of the time you were running around the track so busy that you usually didn’t eat until the end of the day. Lance always found you in the dining hall after hours, watching Netflix on your phone and munching away on whatever you found. 
You nod, puckering your lips which earns you a smile. Lance leans down and kisses you before getting up, “I’ll see you when I get back.” 
“Be safe.” You call, sitting up on the bed. 
---
It was 5:23 when Lance walked back into your bedroom. “Where have you been?” you turn to face the man who’s now flopping down onto your bed. “We have to leave in like.. 20 minutes.” You turn back to the mirror, doing your eyeliner. 
“I have been outside since 4:30, babe.” Lance sits up, looking at you. You stop and turn to face him once again. “Your dad needed help loading the last of the stuff in the car and then somehow your aunt managed to wrangle me into tying the.. corset? I think, on her dress but I didn’t know how to, so I had to find your mom, who sent me to find your cousin.” Lance gets off the bed, stripping off of his shirt.  
“But I managed to sneak back in here to get dressed without anyone noticing.” He reaches for the shirt you ironed and hung in the closet for him. 
You finish up your makeup while Lance gets dressed. Now he's standing beside you, fixing his hair when you turn to face him. It was starting to feel a little too domestic to be fake. 
“How do I look?” you ask, gesturing to your curled hair and make up. 
“Hot.” He says, a half smirk playing on his lips like a horny teenage boy.
You can’t help but laugh at him. You manage to get your dress on without tripping, turning so he can zip it up for you. You turn back around and fix his shirt collar for him, straightening the tie. Lance ended up going with white shirt and the darker green tie so it matched with your dress. 
Lance reaches into a bag that he brought into the room with him. You were putting your earrings on when he walked back over with a box, a jewellery box to be exact. 
“What’s that?” You eye him in the mirror. 
Lance opens the box to reveal a beautiful silver chain with an emerald in the middle. He takes it out of the box and you move your hair so he can hook the clasp for you. Your fingers reach up to touch the stone, admiring it in the mirror. 
“Lance,” you turn to face him and from the look on your face alone, he knows what you’re going to say. “Don’t worry about it.” He waves you off.
“This is too much, Lance. Something like this is expensive.” 
“You're worth every dollar spent.” He tells you. 
“You walk around with this on you?” You ask and Lance laughs, “no, I asked Chloe to pick out something green from her favourite jewellery store. She's passing through with Scotty, I met them up earlier. That’s why she called yesterday.” 
You hum, turning back to look at the necklace; it’s exactly what was missing. “It’s beautiful.” Lance hugs you from behind, your eyes meeting the mirror. “I’m glad you like it.” Your hands came to rest on his and his chin was on your shoulder. 
“We look good, don't we?” You hum and he moves his hand to interlock fingers with you. 
“It’s starting to feel real.” Lance whispers the words that had been lingering in his mind the last few days. 
You felt the same way but reality scared you; what would happen after this week? Returning to work for there to be a power imbalance ? Lance would always outrank you in the track, you were an intern and he was a driver; his father literally owned the team. 
You opt to smile at the man, untangling yourself from his arms to get your heels. “Switch the light off when you come out.” You call to him, stepping out of the room. 
Lance stands there for a few moments; regretting the words that left his mouth moments ago. Nonetheless, he grabs the car keys, turning off the light and shutting the door behind him, finding you outside by the car. Everyone was getting into their respective cars and began heading towards the venue but you were standing by Lance's car, one hand on the hood and the other trying to hook the strap on your shoe when he walked over. 
He crouches down to help you, “it’s fine, I'll put them on in the car.” You pull your foot away but Lance wraps a hand around your calf, holding your leg in place when he loops the strap through before slipping the other heel on your foot and doing it again. 
---- 
The ceremony was short and sweet, the vows exchanged left not a single eye dry. Lance sat beside you the entire time, an arm over the back of your chair, occasionally glancing over at you. 
Dinner was set to start in a few minutes and everyone had found their tables. One of your cousin’s bridesmaids comes up to you, tapping your shoulder and telling you that she needs you to help her with something. 
“Will you be okay?” you whisper to Lance and he nods, “nothing I can’t handle.” He smiles at you, you press a kiss to his cheek before leaving him at the table. 
It didn’t take you long to help your cousin, a few minutes to help her change into her second dress of the evening and to pin her veil in her hair before returning to the table. When you get back, Lance has got all of your aunts gushing about how sweet and funny he is, telling you that you have a good boyfriend. 
After dinner, your younger cousins along with your nieces and nephews have surrounded Lance, all fascinated by the driver and the stories he told them. He even promised to let them all come to the next GP in Montreal so they can see him drive in real life. You admired the way he was with the kids, you would have never pegged him for the type of guy who loved children. 
Most of the kids disbursed after that, running off to do their own thing but one of your nieces held out; sweet little 7 year old Amelia, who took a liking to Lance. 
She sat on your lap as she spoke to Lance, the two of them talking about every topic that filled her little head. He sat and had full conversations with her about everything from unicorns to race cars to her favourite ice cream flavour. 
Lance stands, lifting Amelia off her lap. “Your aunt told me she won’t dance with me, so I need a dance partner.” He looked at the girl in his arms, “will you dance with me, Milly ?” 
She grinned, nodding at the man. You watched the two of them make their way to the dance floor, Lance putting her down and her little hands finding his before he spun her around. 
Your heart swells at the sight and Amelia’s mom, your older cousin, finds her way into Lance’s seat. “He’s good with her.” She tells you, and you nod. 
“You two thinking of your own?” She teases, making you nearly choke on your drink. 
You shook your head, “no! We’re.. too young.” You smile at her and she nods. The two of you catch up while Lance and Amelia dance and at some point, he brings her back and hands her back over to her mom. 
He crouched down in front of the little girl, “you’ll always be my favourite dance partner.” He smiles at her and she hugs him, kissing him on the cheek. 
Lance turns to you now,  he sticks his hand out to you, “may I have this dance?” 
“I don’t dance,” you tell him, Lance leans towards you, his lips brushing against your ear. “You owe me,” and you roll your eyes, your hand in his as he leads you back to the dance floor. 
The two of you end up spending the whole night on the dance floor, the drinks flowing; well just for you cause Lance was driving and he wanted you to have a good time. After a long day and an even longer, teary goodbye from all you guys to the couple heading out on their honeymoon, you were ready to go home. His jacket is wrapped around you and your heels are in your hands as you two head towards the parking lot. Lance stops and scoops you up in his arms, earning him a shriek from the sudden action. 
“What’re you doing?” 
“Carrying you.” 
“Why?” 
“You’ve got no shoes on.. plus your feet hurt.” 
You hum, letting Lance carry you to the car. “You’re so cheesy, it literally hurts.” You tell him when he bends to open the car door, finally putting you down so you can get in. 
“You love it, shut up.” Lance leans in, giving you a kiss before walking around to get in. 
He drives back towards the house but makes a detour, a route you know all too well. “Are going to-” “McDonald's, yes.” he hums, turning into the driveway. 
“I know you didn’t eat much today,” he pulls into the surprisingly long drive thru line. 
“Says who?” you fold your arms over your chest. Lance glances at you, “says your grumbling stomach while we were getting ready and the fact that you picked at your dinner. Can't have you passing out on me.” 
You roll your eyes, letting him order before pulling up to the window. It was another battle between you two, trying to figure out who's going to pay before finally letting the cashier decide between the cards. She settled on the green one, meaning you finally paid for something. The two of you stopped in the parking lot, deciding to eat there before heading home. You dipped your nugget in the sauce before turning to see Lance eating his ice cream. You wiped the little bit that missed his mouth off his lip before going back to your nuggets, the two of you sitting in comfortable silence. 
“Lance?” 
“Yeah?” 
“Thank you.. for everything. I hope it wasn’t too much.” 
“No need to thank me, sugar plum. I had a good time.” He smiles at you. 
About an hour later, you two head back to your parents’ house, pulling into the driveway. Lance hits the brakes when something runs in front of the car just as he was pulling in; “fuck! What the hell?” you look over at him, your ice cream nearly falling on your lap. 
“Sorry babe, something ran in front of the car, didn’t want to run it over.” He tells you, pulling up behind your dad’s car. The two of you get out, Lance looks around the dimly lit driveway, the porch light reflecting onto the asphalt. 
“What was it?” You were more focused on your ice cream than Lance and his mystery animal. “A possum, maybe?” He says, unsure. 
“Did you see what colour it was?” You ask, walking up onto the porch, Lance follows you, holding the ice cream for you while you unlocked the door. “Brown I think ?” 
“Groundhog.” You hum, stepping inside. “There’s a lot of them back by the school ground, cause of all the trees and stuff back there.” You tell him, Lance shuts the door behind you two. 
The house was quiet, everyone already in bed, finally getting the rest they’ve been desperately needing while you two made your way to the bedroom. You shut the door behind the two of you, locking the door. 
He hangs the jacket on the hooks on the back of the door and you’re standing in front of the mirror. Lance hugs you from behind, chin on your shoulder. You reach up to unhook the necklace but he stops you, “leave it on.” His hands reach up to undo the zip on your dress, letting the straps hold it up now that it's unzipped. You turn to face the man, loosening the tie around his neck before pulling it off and tossing it on the bed. The two of you are looking at each other while you unbutton his shirt, your fingers barely grazing over his torso. 
There’s a quietness to the room, almost a stillness, as if you said something, it would break.
Lance lifts you onto the dresser, his lips finding yours. At some point, the straps of your dress are being pulled down, his mouth moving to leave a trail of kisses down your jaw to your neck and then to your shoulder. You push his shirt off, dropping it on the floor before you pull him back to you, your fingers in his hair. 
“Bed.” He mumbles against your lips, helping you off the dresser. 
He watches as the dress falls to the floor, pooling around your feet. Lance takes a breath, his eyes fixed on you. 
He looked at you like you held the stars and the moon. 
It took him a second to stop his mind from spinning, between the love he was starting to feel and how beautiful you were, he was at a loss. 
“Did I break you?” You ask, looking at the man who was staring at you. “No,” he laughs, pulling you by the waist to him. 
“Just admiring you.” He lifts you up, his gold band tickling along your side when he does, making you laugh. He drops you on the bed and gets on top of you, his arms on either side of you.
You pull him down for a kiss before flipping you two over, you’re on his lap like you were the other day. Lance pushes his hips up for a moment, his hands rubbing along the side of your thighs as he stares up at you, his eyes showing nothing but adoration for the woman on top of him. 
“Can I say something without you running away?” He asks you, his grip on your thigh a little stronger now. 
You sit up a little straighter, “okay..” 
“This.. this feels too real to be fake.” He whispers, unsure how you’d react. You’re quiet, looking at him before you nod. “I know,” you whisper back. 
“Well..” he starts, looking at you. “Well?” your eyes meet his. 
“Are we going to... keep going ?” He asks quietly, “I don’t want us to just be over. I like you, y/n.” 
You thought you had been living in some delusional world in your head, that you had been imagining the way he looked at you, the way you felt the sparks when he touched you or how you yearned for his touch when he wasn't with you. 
“I like you too, Lance.” 
Lance can’t hold back the grin on his face, looking like a school boy who confessed his crush. 
“I think.. we’ll take it slow. Keep it professional ?” You ask when Lance sits up, his hands sliding from your thighs to your butt. He gives it a squeeze before leaning up to kiss you; “professional, of course.” 
Well, there's no denying that it was real now.

You're a dick Stroll! - Lance Stroll x Engineer! Reader
Plot: You created the best car for the 2024 season however after some harsh comments from Lawrence Stroll about a female engineer having been the reason his son crashed out in Bahrain turns out after investigations from the FIA people owe you an apology!
A/N: Obviously this is fanfic so its dramatized so in no way does this portray anyone in a realistic light and is just for the drama and the vibes.

Tumblr media
"You innovations have been amazing this year Y/N all thanks to that brain of yours!" Mike Krack the team Principle for Aston Martin tells you, holding either one of your shoulders shaking them in delight at the new car in front of him.
You had been at Silverstone working as the lead mechanic/ designer on the new car throughout the last half of the 2023 season.
"Thank you, but you know it was a team effort right?" you smiled back, it really was a team effort.
"Well, we actually wanted to offer you a promotions of sorts!" he exclaimed a look of shock crossing your face.
"Excuse me?"
"We figured that you know the car the best and we want you travelling with us to make adjustments as and when needed. Last year was a struggle when we didn't have you here, you are the quickest we've seen and having you on the road with the team would really help.
"This is amazing, yes I'll do it!" you exclaimed happy that you were finally able to travel around the world with Aston Martin.
A month later and you were in Bahrain for pre-season testing of the 2024 year, everything was looking good on both the car, they were running well and the data figures looked good to you and your team.
You'd stayed late with a few other team members making sure everything was ready for the most important Sunday of the year, this race was the one that usually set the drivers mentality for the year. Nobody wanted to crash in the first race and no-one wants to not make it into the points.
You left, once you'd finished your checks on both cars, some people still working around.
"Okay, I'm off guys and ill see you for the big day tomorrow!" you smiled at them before heading back to the hotel that Aston Martin had placed you in. It wasn't a long ride, and you splurged on an Uber considering how much overtime you'd just done in the garage.
You did share a hotel with the drivers, as one of the lead engineers in Aston Martin you got the privilege of the nicer hotel compared to some of your colleagues.
As you entered, you could see some of the drivers sat in the bar, Lando Daniel, Max and his girlfriend Kelly were all sat together taking pictures, obviously for the .jpg accounts.
Charles, Pierre, Carlos and Lewis were also there sat at the bar, drinks in hand. However, with your attention directed elsewhere you felt yourself bump into something.
"Oh my gosh I am so sorry" you exclaimed looking towards the person you had bumped into that was now holding your forearm as if to steady you so you didn't fall back.
"It's er okay, you seemed distracted are you... okay?" you hear the person ask and look up to see your teams youngest driver.
"Oh Lance I'm so so sorry!" you say noticing it was him.
"It's okay" he says awkwardly before shuffling off. You watch as he walks up to Alex and George who were also sat with one another. You continue up to your floor before showering and passing out in your bed.
The next day your alarm was set extremely early, you came straight to the track having gotten ready in a record speed time. Your hair was whipped up in a ponytail and you'd nearly put your green Aston Martin team top on back to front.
You got to the track for when Mike told you to meet him there, he wanted you the radio engineers and the strategists to all talk before the race. Considering it was only 7.30 in the morning there were already loads of people in the paddock, from all different teams.
Where it was your first time you didn't know the protocol or anything for greeting other teams, so you just stayed your typical friendly self sending a smile and wave to everyone that you passed and made eye contact with.
Once you'd got into hospitality Ben Mitchell, Chris Conin and Peter Hall were all there, Peter held a coffee out to you with a small smile.
"Thanks" you smiled before you all started to talk about the race ahead, you guys checked the weather patterns and the track temp before trying to plan the race for both drivers.
By the time you'd done your final checks it was time for the race. Lance had placed P7 the day before and Fernando had placed P10 which was an amazing start to the year for Aston Martin.
"How's the car looking?" the social media girl asked, she was looking at the screen of data rolling in from the car but not understanding what the figures actually meant.
"It's performing phenomenally. Its definitely better than last year. Its also original and completely initiative, I've heard Horner and Vasser talking about it!" you explain having heard them interviewing about the grid and a little season preview.
She nods, and you talk a little before she leaves to go and try and film some social media stuff while there isn't too much excitement on the track.
However only 2 laps later Lance was reporting his breaks being stiff, which from the figures looked to be impossible. Before his race engineer could even ask for your advice, Lance went into a turn too quick skidding off the side taking Gasly with him. You looked up at the screen in shock, a hand covering your mouth.
Lance's car had gone sideways before flipping over Gasly's car. Lance and Gasly were both out of the race.
"What the hell happened!" Lawrence screaming coming over to you, all the pit crew who had just pulled Fernando's car in stopped what they were doing and came over to you.
"Sorry?" you asked pulling the headphones off genuinely not having heard him.
"What happened! Your the engineer who was here late last night. What did you do to my sons car, he's an impeccable driver and he has DNFed because YOU cant do your job" he screamed and you flinched taking a wide step back.
"Look i didn't do anything, I wasn't even the final engineer here last night. I think he was just unlucky sir" you tried to explain, but his face like thunder had you a stuttering and stumbling mess.
"Yes you did! Just admit you either sabotaged the car on purpose or your so damn incompetent at your job that you didn't build the car right! You know you should be fired for this, its completely unacceptable and I'll be speaking to Mike about having you removed because you clearly" he starts but one of the crew members behind decided enough was enough and stepped in front of you.
"Hey, sir with all dew respect there are camera's everywhere in here recording so just think about your image" he directs and Fernando having finally got out of his car and having seen what happened to you.
"Lawrence, i think its best that you take a step back" Fernando advises seeing how close he had gotten to you.
Instead he just storms out of the paddock, you release a breath you didn't even realize you had been holding in everyone swarming round you take make sure you were okay.
BREAKING NEWS: FIA LAUNCH INVESTIGATION INTO HEAD OF ENGINEERING AT ASTON MARTIN AFTER STROLL CRASH VIDEO OF LAWRENCE STROLL RIPPING INTO Y/N Y/LN HEAD OF ENGINEERING AT ASTON MARTIN INTERVIEW WITH LAWRENCE STROLL AND MIKE KRACK GETS HEATED AFTER INVESTIGATION LAUNCHED
It only took 4 hours for the public to find out who you were and your social media handles as you had a few people following you. One of which was McLaren who you had worked for under an apprenticeship scheme.
The only thing you really wanted right now was have a drink, so the hotel bar where you were certain would be safe from the public eye. You came down from your hotel room, you weren't in anything fancy and felt out of place the minute you sat down at the bar. Most of the drivers were there celebrating wins, or drinking away the loss.
It was like you had this beeper on you, as when you entered the room and walked to the bar all the drivers seemed to notice you. I mean it wasn't hard, your hair was thrown up in a ratty bun and your eyes were red from having read all the hate messages sent to your inbox.
"She's the one they're investigating because of Stroll's crash! His dad went in on her after the race"
The whispers all around you from people in the bar had you shrinking in your seat.
"So your the one that made me crash!" Lance exclaims from behind you, you turn round seeing his face, angry and upset and expression nobody liked.
"Look, I didn't do anything to the -" you start but are slowly interrupted.
"No you did, you know nothing and you shouldn't be in this job! Everything they are saying about you online is true, you could have killed me and Pierre because of that accident. So careless!" he shouts, which shocked the other drivers as Lance wasn't really one to raise his voice.
"Please Lance, I've already had enough..."
"No, you haven't had enough! You shouldn't be in this sport if you cant build a car properly, it's shit! It's not powerful and you clearly cant build a car like Andre last year!" he says, you could tell he was getting frustrated and it made you take a step of your seat.
"You're a dick Stroll! Andre didn't build the car. I did that's why i took the position this year as he wasn't performing as Head Mechanic so yeah. I didn't do anything to the car, the data was fine maybe you just are as good as a driver as you seem to think you are" you say before storming out of the bar.
Two weeks later, where you'd lazed around all day at home was when you'd got that expected call. You were currently on suspended leave where you were still under investigation. Mike had been facetiming you on and off asking for help to try and speed up the pace of fixing the car before Saudi Arabia GP.
It was in fact Mike calling again, however this time he was telling you to open up any socials and see what the FIA had posted.
CHECKS HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED INTO THE ASTON MARTIN CRASH SHOWING HEAD ENGINEER IS NOT LIABLE AND HAS SERIOULSY BEEN MISSTREATED - FIA FIA COME OUT WITH EVIDENCE THAT ASTON MARTIN HEAD ENGINEER IS NOT TO BLAME FOR STROLL'S SAKHIR CRASH - SKYSPORTS CLEARED FOR DUTY Y/N Y/L/N TO MAKE RETURN AT JEDDAH - F1
"Are you serious?" you say, the first piece of enjoyment in your life in the last few weeks has just occurred.
"Yes, we need you on the first flight out to Saudi, someone's waiting for you at Heathrow to bring you" he exclaims, you jump up cutting the call short and start to rush, packing a bag by slinging clothes in it not bothering to fold. You make sure your uniform is all packed as well as the essentials before running out the door and running to the train station.
You came into the terminal, shooting a text to Mike, not knowing who to be looking for. You look around to see if you can see one of the other mechanics or maybe Mike's personal assistant but you come short.
"Come on Mike" you whisper to yourself looking at your phone.
"Y/N?" you hear from behind you. You knew that Canadian voice all to well.
"Lance?" you ask with a slight sneer to your tone, you were still angry and upset with him and his father for jumping to such outrageous conclusions.
"Mike wants you there asap, so I suggested you come with me" he says guiding you down a secure back path to where it leads out to the jets.
"Your kidding me right?" you ask as he walks you out onto the den where his dad's private jet is waiting.
"We needed you there as soon as possible the car is in literal pieces without you there!" he exclaims, having heard from his father than things had been slow in the garage.
"Well, do you now trust me to build you an effective car?" you ask halting your steps, you didn't want to work with him anymore if you didnt have his trust. Throughout your suspension you had both McLaren and Mercedes reach out to you offering you a job with them once it all blew over.
"I do trust you, I just got angry when i crashed the car in the first race of the season, my dad blamed it on you and to me that seemed the most logical. I am sorry for what its worth" he says awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.
"For what its worth... you're still a dick. But i think i can put up with that" you smile, before following him over to the pane ahead.

cozy - Lance Stroll
Tumblr media
Y/N x Lance Stroll Theme: Smutish, light touching you spend the day cuddling with Lance x word count: 1260+ taglist: @game-set-canet open for requests :)
As the soft glow of the bedside lamp casts a warm ambiance in the room, you and your boyfriend, Lance, find yourselves lost in the blissful cocoon of your shared intimacy. The comforting embrace of the bed seems to cradle you, and you can't help but lean your head against his chest, savoring the soothing rhythm of his heaving chest with every breath he takes.
Wrapped in the tranquil silence, he holds you close, and the world outside your haven fades away. There is an unspoken language in the way your bodies intertwine, creating a sanctuary of intimacy that words could not capture. His arms around you feel like a shield, protecting you both from the uncertainties beyond the bedroom walls.
However, as time passes, a subtle chill begins to permeate the air. Sensing your discomfort, Lance breaks your embrace with a tender smile and reaches for his hoodie.
In one swift moment, he takes it off, revealing another, thinner shirt underneath. "Here." He smiles softly and hands you the hoodie.
The fabric is soft and oversized, enveloping you in a cocoon of warmth as you gratefully accept his offering. It carries the comforting scent of him, a familiar blend that instantly makes you feel at home.
"Thank you," Blushing slightly, you enjoy how its fabric glides across your skin.
With the borrowed garment hugging you, a few sizes too big but perfectly cozy, you resume your cuddle. His gentle caresses trace patterns on your back, a rhythmic dance that mirrors the beating of your hearts.
You rest your hand on his chest, relishing the warmth and subtle rise and fall beneath your touch.
In that shared place, where the world is reduced to the proximity of your intertwined bodies, Lance leans down to kiss your forehead.
As you continue to bask in each other's presence, you express your anticipation with a gentle smile: "I can't wait to see you racing again."
You lift your head when his eyes soften and a subtle warmth of gratitude illuminates his gaze.
"I will do my best to get on the podium again," he promises, a commitment that resonates with the passion he holds for racing.
"I know, Lance." You smile, lean in, and kiss him softly. He embraces your lips on his own, and his stubble tickles.
As your hand continues to traverse his chest, you cannot help but smile again.
"I cannot wait to see you in that beautiful green suit again." You giggle as his body reacts to your gentle touch.
A playful spark flickers in his eyes, and he teases you with a raised eyebrow and a mischievous smile.
"Why is that?" Lance shakes his head slowly, his voice carrying a mixture of curiosity and enticement.
Leaning in closer, your lips just inches away from his, you bite your lower lip, holding back another giggle.
"You just look so good, babé." You say, kissing him in between words, making him smile so brightly.
He knew the answer already, but it makes him feel better hearing you say that. His arms wrap around you, pulling you in a little closer.
"You know we've got the fitting soon." Lance growls deeply, tilting his head slightly while still looking right into your eyes. His eyes are shimmering in the dim light, drawing you in closer, and you couldn't pull away even if you tried.
A playful glint dances in his eyes as he shares his plans: "I'll make sure to take plenty of pictures." He lifts his chin slightly and narrows his eyes as his hands run up and down your back.
"Especially in my fireproofs." His words carry a teasing undertone, and a warm smile tugs at the corner of his mouth. "I know you'll love that."
The idea of capturing those intimate moments, even in the context of a fitting, adds a new layer to your conversation. You always love seeing him in those tights, flattering his athletic physique. Especially those white ones are your weakness, and he is fully aware of the power he has over you.
Remembering the first time you saw him gives you goosebumps.
It was a few months into your relationship when he invited you to a race weekend. You had seen pictures of him, videos, and interviews, but it was nothing compared to the real thing. When he finally emerged in his racing suit, a wave of admiration washed over you. The sleek fabric clung to his body in all the right places, clinging to the contours of his athletic form.
You couldn't help but marvel at how good he looked—a vision of strength and determination. The suit not only encapsulated the essence of his sport but also added a touch of allure that made your heart race.
The fireproofs beneath the racing suit further emphasized his athletic build, creating a silhouette that exuded confidence and power. As he stood before you, ready for the upcoming race, you felt a surge of pride and admiration for him. With a swagger in his step, he approached you, hugged you, and kissed you. Since that day, he knew how much you loved him in that gear.
"You know me too well." With a sly grin, you intensify your gentle strokes across his chest, feeling his muscles, his pecs, and his abs tense slightly at every move of your fingers.
Carefully, you let your hand linger on his tummy, stroking him for a few moments before you trace his treasure trail further down his body to his crotch.
Lance leans forward, resting his head against yours with a soft smile.
As you stroke him, he starts to purr contently, embracing you in an even tighter hug.
Your hand runs up and down his thighs teasingly, while he places kisses on your forehead, your nose, and right on your lips.
"Lance, your beard is tickling me." You pretend to pull away, a giggle escaping your lips, but he persists, the teasing twinkle in his eyes growing more pronounced.
The two of you get more into the moment, and you feel his excitement growing against the palm of your hand. Once you intensify your strokes, he lets out a soft yet guttural moan, resting his head against the pillow underneath the two of you.
"Mhmm." He growls deeply, and while you keep on stroking him, you find yourself drawn to the details of his features. Your fingers trace the delicate path along his jawline, reveling in the subtle texture of his beard; it feels fluffly and soft, and you're glad he is growing a beard again.
"This looks so good on you." You express your admiration for his beard, as it has grown on you as much as it has grown on him.
"Thank you," Lance smiles, a blend of contentment and appreciation, as your fingers continue their exploration.
Now, you let go of him and run both of your hands across his firm chest—his training is paying off—before they slide underneath his shirt. Lance keeps working out in preparation for the season, as he must be physically and mentally ready for that many races, some under volatile conditions.
You're seeking the warmth of his skin; the touch of his soft skin beneath your fingertips sends a shiver of intimacy through you. As you wrap your arms around him in an intimate hug, Lance reciporates, embracing you fully.
His chest presses against yours, his arms hold you close, and he proceeds to kiss you again and again, so softly and lovingly.
Lance is humming quietly, taking many deep breaths, while you close your eyes, enjoying this moment.

Hi!
I love your writing so much!
I would love to request an angsty Strollonso fic where Lance gets into a crash and the team doesn’t tell Nando how bad it was and he finds out later from another driver and freaks out and goes to the hospital to see him. Maybe Lance has to calm him down and keep him from going after his dad or something.
This is my first time requesting so I hope it’s okay lol.
If you don’t get to it, no worries! Thanks!
'didn't get the call' - fernando x lance
masterlist
Tumblr media
It’s race week. Things always get real during race week.
One would think that a couple decades of seasons of Formula One racing would prepare Fernando Alonso for the frenzy of a long weekend spent overseas, but he’s had ample time to determine the contrary. Sure, he’s gotten better at shaking off the nerves a little, sloughing off like an old scar the urge to run or lash out, but part of it still remains inside his lungs, rattling the tissue more than he feels is necessary. It’s race week. What’s the worst that could happen?
That same sentiment, however, doesn’t seem to apply to the rest of the paddock. Everywhere Fernando goes, he seems the same sort of tension bubbling to fury underneath everyone’s skin. The few gazes that dare to lift to his are strained, the undereye bags larger than usual. Even his race engineer seems skittish, and after a year of dealing with Fernando watching live race broadcasts while making overtakes and other various misdemeanors, Fernando has assumed that nothing could shake the guy.
Fernando tries to think about what could have possibly gone wrong to demand this level of response, but nothing comes to mind. In the end, it was, truly, just another weekend. Fernando had done reasonably well– a fourth place result, while frustratingly shy of a podium, is still a good result. Aston Martin as a whole has been down as of late, and even though they would rather appreciate the points boost of a podium, fourth position is still better than the points of sixth, or eighth, or not even getting points at all.
All in all, it had been a relatively decent race from Fernando’s point of view. He’d had some good overtakes, and provided some good defense against the challenging Red Bulls until they passed him like they do against every other car on track. It wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t mediocre, either. That’s Aston for you. That’s life.
In fact, Fernando had even felt so satisfied after the race that he’d gone ahead and asked how Lance had fared while he was turning his car towards parc ferme. It’s been a little indulgence that Fernando has allowed himself out of late, caring about his teammate. Call him overly cavalier, but this is, actually, quite a sign of change in Fernando, especially after the past two years at Alpine. Fernando hasn’t always been in the business of viewing his teammates as more than obstacles.
Perhaps that’s just a sign that he’s getting old, Fernando thinks fondly as he meanders towards his driver’s room. The apparently advanced age of entering his forties is making him sentimental. How charming. Then again, it’s something altogether different when one’s teammate is, well, Lance.
Lance.
Fernando had been careful when he first arrived at Aston Martin. Lance was the boss’ son, for one thing, and Esteban’s close friend, for another. Of course he would have to be careful. It’s not as if Aston Martin would be dramatic enough to fire Fernando if he let slip a critical comment of his teammate in yet another drawn-out press conference, but they’d probably retaliate with something below the belt, like a pay cut.
So he’d watched his tongue, and watched his temper. The only thing Fernando hadn’t kept in check was his heart. Maybe that was because he assumed he wouldn’t have to, that years of experience would have made him as cold as his teammate’s home country, but as it turns out, even a two time world champion can be wrong on occasion, and Fernando was wrong about Lance.
Fernando isn’t quite sure that he could put into words what Lance means to him. He’s not sure that he wants to try. Some things are best kept secret, hidden under the protective cover of supposedly forced team bonding and aggressively proud post-race interviews. Overcommitting to an overtake before you know you’ve got it can ruin a race. Spelling out in precise, heart-stopping red syllables what Lance Stroll means to Fernando could ruin his whole enterprise.
Even still, small things slip through the self-imposed barrier. Fernando squeezes Lance’s shoulders when they run into each other in the media pen and pretends he doesn’t notice how Lance’s entire body wracks the second Fernando touches him. He certainly doesn’t store that information away for later use. And, his latest vice, Fernando keeps asking his race engineer how Lance has done in the race, making it public that Fernando is interested. People know now. How daring.
This time, though, his race engineer had been surprisingly tight-lipped, mentioning only that he would have to get back to Fernando on that front. Usually, the background chatter from the pit wall is quiet so as to not distract the driver, but this time an uproar of static had cut through the engineer’s words, making it more difficult to make him out. There had been rumors of a red flag coming out on the last lap, but as it happened most cars would be able to clear without trouble, so nothing had been mentioned. His race engineer had also been silent on that front.
Who is Fernando to worry, though? If something bad had happened, he would have been informed. Fernando makes it a habit to stay aware. It wasn’t him, it couldn’t be his teammate, and thus Fernando’s capacity for caring is significantly limited. He’ll put out a somber Instagram story later if his PR agent reminds him. All will be well.
The further he travels through the Aston Martin motorhome, though, the more uneasy Fernando feels. Everyone is rushing around, all speaking to each other in terse whispers that he can’t quite pick up. Fernando feels as if he’s the eye of a hurricane, surrounded by restless whirlwinds of deep green water.
This doesn’t make sense. Eventually, Fernando’s impatience gets the better of him and he stops one of the trainers, who’s been parked in a corner of the room and frantically texting so he doesn’t get in the way. The man practically jumps out of his skin when Fernando nudges his arm, he’s so keyed up. Strange. Also unsettling.
“What’s going on?” Fernando asks. The confusion makes his voice terse, it sounds like he’s a soldier out on a battlefield. He doesn’t even feel that worried, not yet, but from the way everyone else is acting, he feels as if he should be.
The trainer avoids his eyes. “Nothing,” he says evasively.
“Oh, and that’s why you look as if someone just shot you in the leg?” Fernando deadpans.
The trainer grimaces. “Alright, but I’m not supposed to tell you. Lance, uh, got in a crash. Last lap of the race. The engineers wanted you to focus on reviewing your data so you aren’t supposed to know about it.”
This is the part where Fernando should assure the trainer that they’re both on the same page and of course he won’t say a word about it, but a complete blankness has settled over his brain, erasing the ability to think anything at all other than the same question over and over again:  Lance crashed?
“What happened?” Fernando asks. He hardly recognizes the sound of his own voice. “Was it bad?”
“Not bad,” the trainer says, but he’s still not looking directly at Fernando. “We’re still checking him out, obviously, but he should be good to go for the next race.”
He coughs pointedly, and this is when Fernando knows it’s time to move on. He’s been assured that his teammate will be fit to race next weekend, and as a hardened driver, that’s all he should care about. Still, as he walks back down the hall again, Fernando can’t convince himself to let it go. Would everyone really be this worried if it was just a small collision? They would tell him, surely, if it was worse. They would have to tell him.
Maybe they just don’t know yet, Fernando reasons with himself. Maybe they legitimately have no clue until Lance returns from medical testing. Even the most insignificant fender-benders can have lingering damage if your hands aren’t in the right place or something else goes wrong. Everyone could just be stressing until they hear back for sure that everything is fine.
Fernando returns to his driver’s room and shuts the door. He sits down absentmindedly in a chair. After about five minutes, it registers that he forgot to turn the light on. He’s not in total darkness, a window is half open, but Fernando can’t quite convince himself to try and flip the switch. Lance was in a crash. Lance is hurt, maybe.
It unravels Fernando down to the last stitch. Lance had been in the bike accident in January, Fernando is not unused to being in a situation in which Lance is hurt, but for some reason this feels far, far worse. He doesn’t like knowing that Lance isn’t alright. It unnerves him, like a car running with a mismatched tire. All of Fernando’s systems are off-kilter.
His phone pings by his side, and now Fernando’s the one who feels like he’s leaping several centimeters out of his chair. Running an absentminded hand through his hair to calm himself down, Fernando reaches for his phone to check the notification, but the message he reads does little to steady his spirit.
Mick Schumacher.
Why aren’t you at the hospital?
Fernando responds immediately.
What are you talking about?
Mick’s answer is swift and to the point.
Lance.
Instantly, Fernando’s blood chills.
They told me he was fine. Why is he in the hospital?
This time, Mick takes a while. Unable to take the pressure, Fernando gets up and starts pacing back and forth in the confines of his driver’s room. At last, Mick responds.
Bad crash. He’s been unconscious but just woke up.
Fernando is out the door before he even finishes reading the text. He’s still in his disgusting race suit, but the sweat will just have to keep cooling, because there’s no way Fernando is sparing so much as a second for anything but getting to Lance. He manages to ask Mick what hospital Lance is occupying while fishing around for his keys, and then he’s off, breaking what he’s sure are several speed limits and a myriad of traffic violations while he’s at it.
Fernando bursts through the door, feeling eerily like a guy out of a rom-com his older sister, Lorena, used to watch. He’s buff enough for the role, certainly, but nothing about this is movie material. Real life is ugly. People get into crashes and don’t miraculously walk out. Beautiful boys with dark eyes lie unresponsive in hospital beds and no one talks about it until it’s too late.
Mick is already in the waiting room and stands up when Fernando arrives. He takes in Fernando’s bedraggled appearance with a raised eyebrow. “Well, I did ask you to get here fast, but I appreciate your dedication to it.”
“Of course,” Fernando says distractedly. “How is Lance?”
Mick nods, again, the raised eyebrow. “He’s been asking for you. There are a couple of Aston Martin guys here, but they just kept ducking the question whenever he brought up where you were.”
Fernando makes a low, ugly sound in the back of his throat. “They did the same thing to me.”
Some of the tension leaves Mick’s face. “They really didn’t tell you, did they?”
“Not at all,” Fernando makes out. “Where is he?”
Mick tells him the number and points him in the right direction. “Be careful,” is all he says before Fernando is too far gone to hear him.
Fernando hurries down the hall. Some of the nurses make an attempt to stop him, but he just ducks around their questioning gazes until he’s knocking on Lance’s door. He can see a vague silhouette through the half-closed blinds, but it’s not until a faint, groggy voice tells him to come inside that Fernando can decide for sure that yes, this is Lance, and yes, Fernando should have been informed of this immediately.
Fernando shuts the door quietly behind him. He walks quietly to the chair, and he sits quietly, breathing quietly, looking quietly, until Lance rolls his eyes and says, “I’m not going to die if you act normally, you know.”
Fernando relaxes a little bit. “Who said anything about dying?”
“Not me,” Lance says, that smug smile starting to surface even despite the IV in his arm, the bandages across his chest, the–
“Stop looking at those,” Lance says unexpectedly, cutting off Fernando’s train of thought. “I’m fine. Honestly.”
Fernando looks at him askance. “You sound like half your car is lodged inside your ribcage. Is that fine?”
Lance pulls a face. “Okay, I’m a little less than fine. It’s alright, though.”
“Tell me what happened,” Fernando says. He didn’t think it came out as an order, but instantly Lance straightens up even despite the constraints of the hospital bed and starts speaking, a faint blush on his cheeks. Interesting. Another thing to remember for later.
“There was a crash,” Lance begins somewhat uncertainly.
“So I’ve heard,” Fernando says, somewhat bemused. Humor is easier. It distracts him from the fact that Lance is lying here, practically lifeless, looking no more likely to move a muscle than get up and start running laps. It kills him, the inability to do anything other than sit here and crack jokes. This is not who he was supposed to be. Nothing about this is right.
Lance looks at him, playfully annoyed, and then continues again. “There was a crash. I don’t remember most of it. I was coming out of a series of turns, I think. Someone hit me. I don’t know who, steered right into me. Not their choice, I’m sure, but it took both of us straight into the barriers.”
His face contorts with confusion as he attempts to remember what happened. The lapses in memory startle Fernando more than he would like. “You must have gotten a serious hit to your head,” he says, unable to keep a grim tinge out of his words.
“That’s what the doctors said,” Lance confirms, grimacing. “I don’t really remember a lot between the crash and waking up here. They said I was out for more than half an hour.”
Fernando presses a hand to his face, dragging it roughly across the skin to try and wake himself up out of this terrible nightmare that has somehow become his reality. “All of this, and no one saw fit to tell me?”
Lance’s brow furrows. “Dad was going to make sure you knew. He told me that himself.”
All of Fernando’s grief leaves him a swift rush, replaced with blind fury. “Lawrence said that?”
At last, he has a culprit for why so much time passed before Fernando heard about this accident, and it was Lance’s own father. Disgraceful. As if Fernando hasn’t spent all of his time at Aston Martin trying to get in Lawrence’s good graces to promote the wellbeing of the team. As if he hasn’t held back on what he really wants with Lance in the name of good faith in the face of the team owner, and now this? Well. Maybe Fernando should have pulled his favorite card and simply done what he wanted in the first place.
He stands up before he realizes it. “Where are you going?” Lance asks, confused.
“I’m going to have some words with your father,” Fernando announces.
Lance’s face falls, and he starts trying to pull himself more into a seated position on his elbows. “Wait, no. He didn’t– he wasn’t trying to hurt you, Fernando, he just didn’t want you to worry.”
“The only thing I want to do right now,” Fernando informs him, “is worry.”
“Charming,” Lance says, then, in a voice verging on panic as Fernando nears the door, “Seriously, don’t. It’s not worth it.”
“What wouldn’t be?” Fernando asks, deceptively calm despite the inferno boiling between the bars of his ribcage.
He’s already at the door. Fernando can see Lawrence talking on the phone in the waiting room, where Mick is eyeing him icily– he’s on the phone while his son is in the hospital, what an asshole– and he’s about to go out there and tell Lawrence exactly what he thinks of this, bystanders be damned, but then Lance’s voice comes again, soft and quiet, and Fernando stops, fingers resting on the cool metal of the doorknob.
“Stay with me. Please.”
That’s all it takes to slow Fernando’s insatiable temper, as it turns out. Who knows how many managers and PR officers would have killed to get that information, and they’re only four words. Four words spoken by Lance Stroll, which makes the difference.
Fernando returns to his seat by Lance’s side. Lance looks distinctly pleased with himself. “I didn’t know you were so open to receiving instructions. I think I’m going to remember that.”
“You’ll forget this by tomorrow. Strong painkillers do that sometimes,” Fernando insists.
Lance’s lips curl into a catlike smile. “Sure thing, Fernando.”
Maybe he’s right after all. Fernando thinks that he might not ever forget the peace of a room when it’s just the two of them, how the heart monitor sharply upticks when Fernando reaches over to take Lance’s hand and both of them pretend they don’t notice it. Lance will be alright eventually. Wounds will heal, scars will fade, and a ferocious driver named Fernando Alonso will accept that the biggest chink in his forged-by-fire armor is a young man named Lance Stroll, and there is nothing wrong about that at all.

Time off the track (Lance Stroll)
Lance and Y/N enjoy having a long weekend off
Note: english is not my first language. I get all fluttery when I write these pieces! Had some trouble finding friends names (they're very private, and I respect that) so I just made up my own.
Thank you so much to everyone who likes and reblogs, your feedback is appreciated 🤍 and I'm taking requests so if you have any ideas or concepts you want to share, feel free to do so as I'll try to get to them the best I can!

Tw: mentions pregnancy

"Sweetheart", Lance called from his spot on the sofa once he heard you arrive back home from work. "In a minute, just need to take these things off my feet", he heard you chuckle before the small creek from the cabinet where you stored your shoes.
"I'm here!", you walked inside, Lance's eyes doing his overall check-up. He didn't notice he was doing it until Henry pointed it out for him in the last race weekend you went to, but apparently the minute you showed up after being somewhere out of his sight, your husband's eyes checked you out from head to toe, looking for any signs of discomfort and then focusing on your babybump, usually bringing a smile to his lips.
"Sit here, I want a cuddle while I tell you my suggestion", he opened his arms, letting you wiggle around and into a comfortable position.
"Oh, what suggestion?", you wondered after you pecked his lips.
"The guys want to have spend the next weekend doing something fun together. It's a long weekend and it would nice spending time together", he explained, hand coming up to your bump and rubbing the skin under the cotton fabric of your shirt.
"That sounds good, actually. A weekend away that doesn't involve racing", you mumbled.
"There's actually a race, still. They want to go to Texas and watch", Lance offered, not wanting to keep you in the dark.
"What I meant was you wouldn't be racing, so we will be travelling all together and I have you to myself still", you wiggled your eyebrows, "and Texas is a really good idea, me and baby have been craving BBQ", you smirked.
"Other than seeing the race, we can just explore the area a bit, see what comes up and what people recommend we do", Lance added, "it will be good to take a few days off".
"Yes, enjoy the sun, good food, good company. Sounds good to me", you smiled sweetly, kissing his cheek and carrying on talking about each of your days.
.
The group consisted of you, Lance, Anna and her partner Michael, Mark and his wife Evie, Benjamin and Theo, arriving on time like scheduled to the airport, "how are we all feeling on this fine early morning?", Benjamin was the first to speak once you found yourselves by the gate.
"Could've done with a little bit more sleep, if I'm honest", Evie groaned into her husband's shoulder, "but otherwise very excited".
"Me too! Can't wait to feel some sun in my face", you smiled, taking off your jacket since you were feeling hot and giving everyone a show of your baby bump.
"Oh, it's so cute, Y/N! You look great!", Anna gasped, hands in front of her mouth as she got closer to you, "you're glowing!".
"And I also have these sexy things", you lifted your pants to show the compression socks the doctor recommended you wear whenever you boarded flights. You always travelled in comfy clothes, having learned over the years that any other way was simply not the way to go, so you had on a loungewear tracksuit, the flowy pants matching the equally roomy sweater.
"Doctor's orders?", she wondered and you nodded, "I already have issues as it is before getting pregnant, so it wasn't like I didn't expect it. You get used to them after a while", you said, checking to see if everyone was ready to walk to the plane once they checked your passports.
"Would you like something to drink before we take off?", the flight attendant wondered, taking orders from everyone, "could you please get us a bottle of water?", Lance asked, knowing you would forget about it.
"I was going to drink it", you teased, accepting the cup and drinking its content, "I remember what the doctor said", you smiled.
By the time you had been flying for a quarter of the expected time for the whole flight, you got up, walking along the small corridor while rubbing your bump.
"Is this a runway competition? Because we don't stand a chance when you look like that", Theo hyped you up, making you giggle as you exaggerated your walk for a few seconds before feeling your daughter kick.
"Doctor said to keep moving, since the socks can only do so much, and she's been kicking like crazy", you added, tapping the spot over your bellybutton where she seemed to kick harder.
"Hey! If she's kicking, I get privileges!", Lance called, making you stop in front of him as he places his palm where your hand was.
"Do you guys want to go get ready for the pool? I don't feel like doing much else today", Anna suggested, earning nods from everyone before you split into your rooms.
"Lance!", you called, seeing your husband come back from the balcony, "I think I need help taking these off, I can't bend properly", you blushed, not feeling strong enough to pull the socks away from your legs.
Chuckling, he bent down, kneeling on the floor so he could help you, massaging the skin and kissing your calves, "do they feel good?", he asked.
"Thank you", you groaned, wiggling your toes, "yes, it's a nice feeling, I might actually take these up after little one joins us, but they're a pain to get out", you offered, kissing his forehead and helping him get up, "let's go and enjoy the sunny day!", you cheered.
After getting ready, you met the rest of the group by the pool, the guys already in the water while the girls preferred to stay in the sun.
"Are you going us or joining them?", Michael wondered, "I'm going in the water, I've had enough of cold, gloomy days", you said, finding the steps so you could ease into the water. Taking off the cover up and throwing it to your chair, everyone's eyes travelled to your uncovered bump.
"Come here", Lance stretched his arms and beckoned you to approach him, chest and hair dripping wet since he had jumped in. Wrapping your arm around his waist, his right hand went to your bump immediately, "does he ever unlatch from your bump? Or is he always keeping his girls within arm reach distance?", Benjamin chuckled. It was all friendly banter and he was genuinely happy for his friends.
"A good mix of both", you confessed, "It's all new territory and we're going through all of this together. Besides, I've been feeling very clingy and wanting to start nesting, so I'm probably the one attached to him", you blushed.
"I want to float for a bit, your sister said that the best thing she did for her back pain when she was pregnant was relieve the pressure by being in the water", you held your husband's hand, getting ready to let yourself fall on your back.
"We're standing by here just in case you start sinking down like a nail", Mark noted with a giggle, making the boys do a circle around you and Lance as you kicked your legs up.
After a few moments of finding your balance, gravity and all things physics worked as your bump and chest rose up, poking out of the water while you floated, "Y/N! This is such a cute pick! Little one with all her uncles protecting you both!", Evie exclaimed, getting her phone and snapping a few pictures at the moment.
"Now move away, I want to snap a few of just Y/N, she looks glorious", she complimented as the boys swam away, "gorgeous, mama, absolutely gorgeous".
"It feels good", you moaned, "I feel so light weight, like, feather-light", you smiled when you saw Lance look back at you, "we can look into it when we go back home, anything to make you more comfortable, sweetheart", he said, kissing your lips before he held your ankles, moving your body as you giggled, not noticing Evie recording the video she claimed was "for when the little princess grows up and wants to know what love is". Her parents would be the best example and this one of the many moments to show it.
When you got back to the lounging chairs, carefully rubbing sun protection cream on before laying down, the boys started playing Padel in the court the house you rented had, shouts and groans heard while you and the girls got some colour on your skin.
"They're just little boys sometimes, aren't they?", Anna noted, seeing Lance and her boyfriend bicker about a foul.
"In some ways, I guess, but it's good they have eachother to spend time with, Goodness knows I won't play that", Evie sneered, "would you, Y/N?".
"What? Play Padel?", they nodded, "I've played with Lance before, with the other drivers and their partners. I'm not that great, but I'm not nearly as competitive as them, so I just play for the fun of it. Lance was kind enough to invite me out of it when he Charles were fighting for the first place in their Driver's Padel Championship", you chuckled.
.
"I love these dresses on you", Lance complimented, his hand grabbing yours and twirling you around, smiling when you faced him again and kissing your forehead.
"Thank you, my love", you added, seeing Michael return with the passes for the race, "we're all set guys, c'mon!", he nudged, handing everyone their pass before you walked to the entrance, a couple of photographers taking pictures and a group of fans asking Lance for autographs.
"That's where we will be", you pointed to the hospitality, walking in and choosing somewhere to sit. While you, Evie and Anna enjoyed this racing series, you were planning to stay on sofas while the boys were standing against the balcony railing so they could watch the race.
Throughout the weekend, you couldn't help but notice how Lance had been having so much fun with the boys, making a mental note to do these things more often when you had the opportunity.
He said something and loudly laughed, bringing your attention to him before your daughter made herself known, "it's daddy, I know", you smiled, rubbing your bump.
"She always kicks when he laughs?", Evie cooed, "My goodness, if you two don't stop being so cute, I'm next", she let out a groan.
"Yes, or when he speaks to the bump very closely. The books say she's able to recognise his voice, and it's very cute", you smiled, "although the bigger she gets, she'll soon start kicking my bladder".
"Wooo-ooh!", Lance said as you assumed the race was going well, looking back to check on you and blowing you a kiss.
.
The vineyard was truly stunning and, despite not taking part in the wine tasting for obvious reasons, you were having a great time.
"Are you also having lunch here? Our chef has done an excellent tasting menu", the young woman offered.
"We already have BBQ booked", Lance stated, "since my wife can't drink right now, we're giving her one of her pregnancy cravings. Maybe next time we visit", he nodded.
When you arrived at the restaurant, you were guided to the table, placing your things down and looking at the menu.
"Can you order for me, please? I really have to go to the bathroom", you wondered as Evie said she was going with you.
When the waiter came back, to the table, he started taking everyone's order, tapping on the iPad as they went along the table, "Can you just make sure the meat is cooked through, please? My wife is pregnant", Lance told the waiter, "absolutely, sir", before he left.
"You really get a kick out of it everytime you say she's pregnant, don't you?", his friend teased, "don't get me wrong, I think it's cute actually", Mark smiled.
"Of course I do, the woman I love is having our baby", Lance cooed, seeing you walk to the table back from the bathroom.
"And she looks incredibly gorgeous while she does it!", Anna said, "she's glowing, really. You guys are going to be such great parents, can't wait to meet the little princess".
"Neither can we, but soon enough", you smiled, accepting Lance's hand and holding it in yours, "soon enough".
