Why is this so true?!
Me af
I love this
so it when you see the picture it pretty much starts out like this
but very quickly turns to this
and then you reach this phase,
because dammit he’s done it again
and we’re all doing this,
which ends in
then very quickly turns into this
and there’s also a lot of
And looking at the picture goes something like this
and whole thing probably looks something like this from the outside
and they probably think we’re all hella crazy, but lets be honest
so basically
request this would be cool if you could do it but if not totally fine!

In Sickness and in Speed
The text comes in at 5:02 AM.
Can’t breathe through my nose. Feel like death. Plz send help 😩
You blink blearily at your phone, barely making out Lando’s name above the message. You’re curled up in your hotel bed, hundreds of miles away from the paddock. Technically, you were going to fly in tomorrow for the race. Technically, no one’s supposed to know you’re dating him—not even his engineer. But technically… Lando sounds like he’s on death’s door.
And technically, you can break a few rules for the man you love.
It had started months ago. The two of you met through a friend-of-a-friend situation—blame it on a birthday party and one too many rounds of “Never Have I Ever.” You hit it off immediately. He liked that you didn’t fawn over his fame. You liked that he listened—really listened—when you talked.
But privacy was non-negotiable. The media frenzy around his life was a hungry thing, and the thought of throwing you into that chaos had his stomach twisted in guilt before you even had your first kiss.
So you made a pact: lowkey, quiet, private. Texts deleted. Social media ghosted. You had your own life, and he had his. But when you could, you met in the quiet in-betweens.
Now, he’s sick. Really sick, judging by the barely comprehensible text messages he’s been sending all morning.
“Head spinning. My bones feel like paper mache.”
“Oscar keeps throwing tissues at me. Rude.”
“They’re making me do press 😩 I might die live on Sky Sports.”
Your heart twinges. You FaceTime him as you speed-pack a bag and order an earlier flight.
When his face appears, your heart practically sinks through the floor. His eyes are puffy, his nose is red, and he’s swaddled in what looks like three layers of McLaren hoodies.
“Oh, baby,” you coo. “You look like a sad little gremlin.”
“Don’t mock the ill,” he croaks, trying to smile. “It’s abuse.”
You grin, soft and fond. “You’re lucky you’re cute.”
“Was cute. Now I’m just a human snot fountain.”
“Hang tight,” you say, grabbing your passport. “I’m coming.”
By the time you arrive at the paddock hotel, it’s early evening. You have your lanyard, your credentials, and just enough insider pull to convince security you’re here “in an unofficial support capacity.”
Lando’s room is a mess of tissues, vitamin packets, and half-empty bottles of water. The TV is playing F1 highlights on mute. The air smells like menthol and misery.
You let yourself in quietly.
He’s passed out on the bed, one arm draped dramatically over his face, tissues stuck between his fingers. He looks like the dictionary definition of pathetic.
You set your bag down gently and tiptoe over.
As you lean down to brush the curls off his damp forehead, his eyes flutter open.
“Y/N?” he rasps.
“Hey, sleepyhead.”
He tries to sit up. “You’re here?”
“I’m here.”
Lando melts back into the pillow, relief washing over his face like warm sunlight. “Thought I was hallucinating.”
“Nope. Very real. And very ready to nurse you back to health.”
“Do nurses usually crawl into bed with the patient?”
You smirk. “Only the really good ones.”
You spend the next few days in a cocoon of tissues and tenderness.
You run to the paddock to get him soup between meetings. You sneak vitamins into his smoothies. You find out that he has a very specific hierarchy of throat lozenges (“the green ones are evil”), and you somehow bribe a hotel chef into making him plain mashed potatoes at midnight.
He groans and whines and calls you his “angel of mercy.” He sneezes on you twice and immediately tries to apologize with sick-boy cuddles. You fake being annoyed, but you wrap yourself around him like a koala every night anyway.
On qualifying day, you wake up to find him sitting up in bed, sipping tea and trying to put on his race suit backwards.
“Lando,” you say, barely stifling laughter. “That’s not how arms work.”
“I’m disoriented,” he mumbles, but he smiles for the first time in days. “Feel a little better though.”
You help him get dressed, comb your fingers through his hair, and press a warm kiss to his cheek. He leans into it like he’s starving for affection.
“You’re gonna be okay,” you whisper. “I’ve got you.”
Later, at the garage, when he pulls off his helmet after a decent quali run, he finds you waiting with a bottle of water and your eyes sparkling with pride. No one questions your presence. You blend in, just another support staffer, clipboard in hand.
But when he looks at you like that—soft, grateful, filled with something unspoken—you know it’s only a matter of time before the secret slips.
And maybe, you think, as he walks past the cameras and sneaks a wink at you…
Maybe you’re okay with that.
