Itâs difficult, being a night person in a day peopleâs world. It really is. Especially when you are around morning loving human beings.
âOh, donât you look happy?â Carlos comments, when (Y/N) steps into the breakfast room. Coincidentally, several teams are accommodated in the same hotel during this race weekend.
As she lets herself fall in a seat at his table, the young female whispers an annoyed âDonâtâ. âI wasnât saying anything mean?â He genuinely questions. Is his English failing him again?
âPlease, just stop talking. Itâs only the ass crack of dawn, how can someone be so chatty?â (Y/N) puts her head onto the table, effectively stopping any further conversation with the Spaniard. He looks a little bit lost into his fruit bowl, not sure how to handle this situation adequately.Â
âTop of the morning, my sunshines,â a smiling Daniel Ricciardo strolls into the room. The happiness radiating from him reaches (Y/N) even through her closed eyes.
Just as Daniel arrives at their table, she gets up with the most sluggish motions a sober person can muster. âCoffeeâ is the only thing mumbled, answering to the confused looks around her.
Shortly after, she sits down again with a cup in her hands, not even bothering to try to follow the chatting between Daniel and Carlos. (Y/N) just stares into space, wondering where she went wrong in her life to have to sit in between two morning people. Surely, this is a punishment of some kind.
âOk, what is up with you? You look like you are about to murder everyone in this room if someone just dares to breathe in the wrong direction,â Daniel observes. (Y/N) takes another sip from her coffee. âBecause itâs true.â
Carlos canât wrap his head around it. âBut what happened to the sunshine-in-person-(Y/N)?â âHow am I supposed to be a sunshine, when Iâm barely a person at this moment?â Well, that is not a lie. She does look pretty rough. Not everyone can wake up and look perfect like Florence Pugh. Some people have to look more like Merida herself in the mornings.
âWhy are you talking to this woman during the early hours?â Charles, who just entered the breakfast hall, fears for their lives. âBecause this is what people do? They talk when they sit together?â Daniel is confused. What is so bad about making conversations?
Charles steps closer to their table and (Y/N) immediately latches onto him, burying her face into his stomach.
âDonât you value your life? A tired (Y/N) in the morning needs quiet and some hugs.â The young woman mumbles something, making the Monegasque laugh. âYes, and coffee. This is the recipe to get the sunshine person you know and love.â
Confused, the other two drivers blink. Did they miss the manual that came with the rookie?
âAnd you know all of this, because?â Carlos asks the question that popped up in both their heads. âBecause (Y/N) and Arthur were together in F2 and he had been âchewed out by her like a pack of gum by a class of elementary schoolersâ, his words, not mine. She is not all bark and no bite, isnât that right?â (Y/N) nods, her head still buried into his front.
âDo you want to catch a ride to the paddock with me? I plan on leaving in five minutes.â (Y/N) nods again and quickly gathers her things before waving the other drivers goodbye.
The ride is filled with silence, Charles even leaves the radio turned off. This lets the female drive in and out of a state of half-asleep until they arrive at their destination. At the same time a certain papaya wearing aussie his own car not far away from Charlesâ Ferrari.
âOh, is it still too early?â He asks her with a small smile. Just like Arthur, Oscar is aware how much of a night owl (Y/N) is, having witnessed her outbursts first hand several times during his own career in F2.
The driver nods as she throws herself into his embrace. A tired (Y/N) turns into the most cuddly person. âLetâs get you a cup of coffee, canât have you go around screaming at people. You will scare everyone off.â
Oscar is pretty much the only smiling person she tolerates in the morning. Whenever another human being dares just grinning in her direction during her own waking up phase, she is ready to jump their throats. But Oscar is different. He doesn't do it out of mocking or pitiness. He is genuinely happy and wants to show and share it. Also, he radiates a nice calm aura, which is the complete opposite to what she experiences during the days of a race weekend.
When Carlos passes (Y/N) by later, he walks up to her with caution, keeping his teammates' warning in mind, âHey Carlos, have you heard the rumors about the newest Taylor Swift album? Do you think it will feature a song about Nando?â
The woman in front of him has nothing in common with the one he interacted with just an hour ago. She somehow even looks completely different from her. Itâs the kind of freshness that doesnât come with a shower.
âUhm, no I did not. Are you ok? You seemed⊠a bit out of it this morning.â There is a hesitation in his voice, not wanting to accidentally offset her.
But (Y/N) just laughs it off. âOh yeah, that. Iâm sorry for being a grump back there. Just like Charlie said, Iâm absolutely not a morning person. During the first hour of being awake Iâm an absolute monster. Just, donât talk to me or only when itâs absolutely necessary during that time. I apologize for my behavior, it wasnât nice. Today was particularly bad, because I do my best work at night and I have been pouring over some data until 2 am. Iâll try to give you a warning next time!â
With that she is off, looking for her partner in crime aka her teammate to start some kind of mischief with the social media team.
Carlos is just flabbergasted. The duality of some people and how a small cup of caffeine can bring that out of them is astonishing.
Just remember to never fuck with night owls during the early hours of the morning.
Bonus Scene
During a free week some drivers set a date to play a private paddle tournament together in Monaco. Daniel enters the court with a big smile. After all, it is a fresh, sunny morning. This day is a promise of having a good time with his friends and colleagues, playing their favorite game and having lunch plans together.
What sets the Australian off are the three frowning faces, sitting on a bench nursing each a can of Red Bull solemnly. âWhat happened to you?â
Max answers his question first with a grumpy voice. âI had to leave my cats cuddled up in my bed alone.â âMy alarm woke me up while the first number on the clock was still a single digit.â Landoo sounds about as tired as (Y/N) next to him looks like.
âLifeâ, Daniel answers for the young woman already, who just nods and pulls the strings of her hood closed, hindering someone else to make more conversations with her until the caffeine has kicked in.
Desperate times call for desperate measures after all.

Hi hello it's me again I have another cute scenario
Imagine gekko little buddies keep following the reader like for example gekko is telling them to do something and the moment they see the reader they start coming to them and want there attention
Lmao.
I just love your writing, so feel free to skip if you like :)
OMGGG BRO THATS SO SWEET, thank you!! it means so much to me đ Also hi again! Sorry if this took long.:"c
I love his little baby's they make me so happy đ
Cw: Nothing rlly! Just little babys being little babys!! Also the reader and gekko are just friends, feelings are kind of inplied! âĄ
Song: On & On - Piri & Tommy
Enjoy!!
Your morning routine was always the same, but everything changed when Gekko came along, not because of him barging in your room at 9 to ask if you wanted to go out for breakfast some days of the week, not because of his beautiful smile making your entire day, surprisingly, it wasn't him.
It was the little gurgling sounds coming from underneath your bed at 6 am waking you up. You recognized these sounds now, but looking under your bed, you couldn't find anything aside from some dust and a singular sock you've been missing for a week.
You brushed it off as a dream you were having, deciding to get up and start your day.
Heading to the kitchen you could of swore you heard tiny footsteps behind you, looking around, again, you didn't find anything, thinking it was your own footsteps being too loud, you tried walking as slow as possible, not trying to wake anyone at the protocol. You shuddered thinking of the earful you would get from a certain elderly man.
You started cooking something simple, pancakes. You were in the middle of cracking an egg when suddenly, you feel something clashing with your heel, repeatedly.
You almost screamed at the sudden touch, but fortunately for you, you catch yourself on the act.
Putting the spatula on the counter, you turn around and look down to find a little yellow blob trying his best to hug your leg before he was rudely interrupted, looking at you with a sad expression, tears prickling his eyes.
"OH, oh my god, Wingman!" You exclaimed, picking the little guy up by his... waist? The anatomy of these babys was odd. "Are you the one that woke me up?" He shook his head up and down, clinging to your right hand for some support, like his owner, he wasn't a fan of heights. You relocated the little blob on top of the counter. "Did you want some company, budd? You could of just..." You trailed off, seeing Dizzy and Thrash hiding in the shadows. "Asked."
You went to pick them both up, bringing them to Wingman's side "Why are all of you here? where is Mosh?" They tried their best to communicate with you, but you really couldn't understand them at all, so instead of asking them to repeat themselves, you opted to make a deal with them.
"Okay, how about this" You grabbed the egg you were about to break and gave it to wingman. "You guys help me cook myself some breakfast..." Trash made a excited sound. "Quietly... AND I don't get kicked for disturbing the peace"
You quickly pet Dizzy and soon after, pick up the spatula. "Deal?" The little creatures cheered and agreed to help you.
For what feelt like a good chunk of time, the four of you kept trying your best to make this setup work, these little guys were good at fights, yes, but they weren't 5 stars chefs, either way, the pancakes where finally done, they were nothing near perfect, but yall had fun in the process.
You sat down with too many pancakes on your plate and a bunch of happy, cheering friends at your side, giving some to all of the members of the current squad for them to devour.
After that, you cleaned your plates, put the remaining pancakes on the fridge and went back to your room, with all the little creatures following close behind you.
"Damn" You layed on your bed with the little critters on your abdomen and chest. "You guys don't mind if i steal you a little longer, right?" To your surprise, no one protested. They just snuggled closer to you and you all went back to sleep.
Thank you for reading!! âĄâĄâĄ Also, i didn't include Mosh because it seems like he can't be outside without Mateo, or without being like, held by someone? AND YOU ARE NOT COOKING ONE HANDED, FIRE HAZARD!!!
Can you do one where there was a large breed dog in the track thatâs a stray and everyone is trying to catch it, but then driver reader started talking to it in a baby voice and she begs to keep the dog once she caught it.
Of course I can. That is such a sweet request. đ„°
Enjoy reading and send some requests

It was a bright and sunny afternoon at the Brazilian Grand Prix, and the atmosphere in the paddock was electric. The teams were getting ready for the final practice session before qualifying, and the tension was rising. Everything was running smoothly until, out of nowhere, a large dogâa stray by the looks of itâran onto the track during the break between practice runs.
"Is that... a dog?" Lando squinted from the McLaren garage, pulling his visor up and pointing toward the track.
Charles laughed nervously, leaning on the pit wall next to him. "How did a dog get in here?"
The dog, a huge, scruffy breed that looked like a German Shepherd, darted across the track with a sense of urgency, weaving between the garages and cars. The engineers and staff tried to shoo it away, but it was too fast, dodging everyone and barking wildly whenever anyone got close.
The Red Bull garage, on the other hand, was a bit calmerâuntil Y/N, the youngest driver on the grid and currently Red Bullâs rising star, noticed the commotion.
"What's going on?" she asked, standing up in the car she had just parked in the garage.
Max shrugged while watching the chaos. "Apparently, thereâs a stray dog running around the track. Everyoneâs trying to catch it, but... it's not going well."
Y/Nâs eyes widened, a glimmer of excitement flickering across her face. "A dog?!" She hopped out of her car faster than anyone expected.
"Wait, youâre not seriously going to go after it, are you?" Max raised an eyebrow, half-amused, half-concerned.
But Y/N was already gone, heading toward the pit lane with a bounce in her step, her Red Bull racing suit fluttering behind her.
âĄâĄâĄâĄâĄ
On the track, engineers were stumbling over each other, trying to catch the stray with nets, ropes, and even pieces of food. The dog growled low and deep, showing its teeth whenever anyone got too close, sending them scrambling back.
Lewis was the next to try his luck, cautiously walking toward the dog with a water bottle in hand. "Hey, buddy, come on... let's not make this difficult, okay?"
The dog barked sharply, making Lewis back off. "Yeah, no. That's not happening." He quickly retreated, shaking his head.
Meanwhile, Y/N, standing a few meters away, observed the situation with a thoughtful look. She pursed her lips and bent down, resting her hands on her knees.
"Who's a good boy?" she called out, her voice soft and high-pitched, almost like she was speaking to a baby.
The dogâs ears perked up immediately, and it stopped barking. Slowly, its head turned toward Y/N, who was still crouched down, wiggling her fingers in the dogâs direction.
"Come here, buddy! It's okay!" Y/N cooed, her voice dripping with sweetness. She gave an exaggerated pout and made soft kissing noises, as if she was calling a puppy.
The dogâwho moments ago had been terrorizing a group of terrified pit crew membersâcalmly turned and padded toward her, tail wagging slightly. It stopped a foot away from her, tilting its head.
Everyone was frozen in disbelief.
"Is she... talking to it in a baby voice?" George whispered to Carlos, who stood beside him, equally shocked.
"Mate, I think she is," Carlos replied, eyes wide. "And it's working!"
Y/N extended her hand slowly toward the dog. "Hi, sweetheart! You're such a handsome boy, arenât you?"
The dog, much to everyoneâs amazement, gently sniffed her hand, then leaned in to nuzzle her palm, tail wagging now in full force.
Y/N grinned brightly. "Oh, youâre just a big teddy bear!" She wrapped her arms around the dogâs massive neck and started scratching behind its ears. The dog licked her face in return.
The entire pit lane was silent, the drivers and crews staring in stunned silence. No one could believe what they were seeing.
"Is this real?" Oscar muttered, blinking as if he expected the scene to dissolve like a dream.
Even Christian, who had been watching from a distance, couldnât help but chuckle in disbelief. "Iâve seen a lot in Formula 1, but this... this takes the cake."
âĄâĄâĄâĄ
After a few minutes of cuddles and praise, Y/N stood up, still holding the dog's collar. "Whatâs your name, buddy?" she asked, looking into its eyes as if it might answer her.
The dog barked softly, wagging its tail even harder.
"I think Iâll call you... Ken!" she announced, looking around at the crowd with a proud smile on her face. "He looks like a Ken, donât you think?"
The dog barked again, as if in agreement, making Y/N laugh.
At that point, a track official hesitantly approached, clearly unsure of how to handle the situation. "Uh, Y/N, weâll need to call animal control or find the owner. Itâs probably a stray."
Y/N immediately pouted, pulling Ken closer to her side. "Noooo, but heâs so sweet! Look at him!" She scratched behind his ears again, and Ken looked up at her with adoring eyes.
"Ken doesnât like anyone else, see? He chose me!" she continued, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Max, who had wandered over with a bemused smile on his face, crossed his arms. "I mean, sheâs got a point. Kenâs not exactly warming up to anyone else."
As if on cue, Ken snarled at the track official when he took a step forward, causing the man to back off immediately.
"Whoa!" the official exclaimed. "Okay, maybe heâs... protective of you."
Y/N beamed and looked down at Ken. "See, heâs just being a good boy!"
Christian walked over, clearly weighing his options. "Y/N, you canât just adopt a dog from the track," he said, though his tone was far more amused than strict.
"But why not?" Y/N asked, giving him her best puppy eyes. "Iâll take good care of him! Look at him, heâs perfect for the team. We can put a little Red Bull jacket on him!"
"Ken, the official Red Bull dog?" Max smirked, clearly enjoying the chaos.
At this point, even the other drivers were gathering around, fascinated by Y/Nâs new friend.
"Canât believe it," Charles muttered, shaking his head. "Sheâs like the dog whisperer or something."
"Yeah, and heâs only nice to her," Pierre added, eyeing Ken warily as he stood close to Y/N but growled whenever someone else got too close.
Y/N grinned as she stroked Kenâs fur. "See? He loves me! Heâs just a big softie."
Christian sighed, rubbing his temples, but there was a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Fine, you can keep him... for now. But heâs your responsibility."
"YES!" Y/N cheered, pumping her fist in the air. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Ken barked happily, as if sensing her excitement, and gave her another slobbery lick on the cheek.
The drivers watched in disbelief as Y/N led Ken back toward the Red Bull garage, already making plans for his new life in the F1 paddock.
Max clapped Christian on the back as they both watched her go. "Well, looks like Red Bullâs got a new mascot."
Christian just chuckled. "I suppose we do. Letâs hope Ken likes the noise of the cars, or weâre in for some trouble."
At long last, here is my masterlist! Note for my Supernatural re write: There will be a separate Masterlist for each season after the finale:) I would recommend maybe opening my prompt list in another tab, as there are a few prompt fics here and there. You can find it here.
All the links are under the cut!

Hello, again, I was wondering if you could write about how either Charles or Lando (I donât mind) give the reader water reminders through out the day because they care. Hopefully this makes sense, I donât know Iâm tired ahah.
Hope you have a good rest of your day/evening!
This is so cute, I need a boyfriend who does this bc my chronic dehydration is definitely causing some damage to internal organs ngl.
Summary: A sequence of events when Lando reminds his girlfriend to drink.
Warnings: Slightly aggressive and sometimes accidental injury due to extreme love and care.
"Oooh, you're dressed up. Have the two of you just got back from a date?" Max asks before y/n appears in the stream and Lando stands up.
"Drink, baby-actually I'll get it." Lando states not giving Max or y/n a chance to talk before he's walking out the room.
"Anyway...how was your date? The chat wants to know." Max smiles, though he wants to know too. He is the biggest fan of Lando and y/n, mainly because he loves seeing his best friend so happy and caring towards someone.
"It was good. Thought, Lando should not be allowed in a pottery studio again. Just wait till you see the mug he made. Diabolical." Y/n sighs shaking her head before Lando appears cracking open a bottle of water, handing it to her.
"What's diabolical?" Lando asks with a grin.
"Your pottery skills." Max states but Lando's already ignoring him, noticing that y/n has been too caught up in the conversation to have taken a drink.
"Baby, please." Lando murmurs making her look at him before smiling and taking a mouthful.
"You two are making the chat go insane. Again." Max sighs noticing the chat flood in with users comments gushing over the two.
"More." Lando commands making her take another mouthful before he turns and addresses the camera. "This is not cute, guys. This is my girlfriend being so chronically dehydrated that the doctor told her off-no. No. Do not say that you guys are the same."
"It's not that bad." Y/n argues before earning a look.
"Did the doctor tell you off?" Lando questions earning a small nervous laugh. "That's a yes, for everyone watching. Now, if you'll excuse us. We have a date night to finish."
"Oh no, non PG stuff." Max grimaces then being swatted by y/n making her boyfriend laugh.
"We're making you food for when you're done streaming, you muppet." Y/n states immediately watching Max turn and smile gratefully at her. "Well I'm making food, Lando is probably going to watch and shout at me to drink every few minutes."
-
Lando left y/n for a matter of hours and it was no surprise when he returned to her and discovered she is chatting with Oscar's girlfriend, Lily. The two of them sometimes even team up sometimes to pick on Lando and Oscar when they look a little too alike.
Now usually he'd say something before getting her something to drink. But for some reason he decides to challenge her.
"Baby, catch!" Lando exclaims throwing a water bottle at her.
Unlike Lando and the other F1 drivers, she does not have quick reflexes and the bottle smacks her straight in the face.
"Ah, fuck." Lando exclaims jumping over to see her before she even really has a chance to react beyond covering her face. "I'm so sorry, baby. I thought you'd catch."
"You hit my nose." Y/n whispers, eyes watering from a combination of pain and shock. "Ow."
Lando pulls her hands away kissing around her face while trying to inspect the damage.
"Ok, alright. I'm fine." Y/n states though her red nose nd tears escaping would beg to differ.
"I feel so bad." Lando groans scooping her up onto his lap to just completely surround her in his body. "I'm sorry. I thought you'd catch it."
Lando keeps kissing her temple, then reaching for the water bottle and opening for it.
"Can you still drink something for me please?" Lando asks softly holding the bottle to her lips making her lean forward to accept the drink, though he tips it for her. "I'll never do it again."
"It's ok." Y/n murmurs then sighing as she looks at him before he tips the bottle again to get her to drink some more.
Lando kisses her once more with a heavy sigh.
-
Ending a race Lando is still in the cockpit, heading towards the top three spots when he opens up his radio again.
"Can you tell y/n to drink please?" Lando requests hearing his engineer chuckle.
"Yeah, I'll get the message passed on. She's already waiting for you by the barriers, mate. But someone is getting the message to her."
Lando pulls up and is looking for y/n before anyone else as he gets weighed, he bounces over to her. She's wrapped in his jacket, presumable as a last minute to show her McLaren support.
"I'm so proud of you." Y/n yells into his helmet knowing his hearing is compromised.
"Drink." Lando exclaims earning a very visible eye roll which is definitely caught on camera for the broadcast. "Baby, I wanna see you drink."
Y/n opens the bottle taking a mouthful as he begins to pull off his helmet and once she's swallowed some of the water, Lando kisses her quickly. Moving to celebrate with the team then heading over for the post-race interviews.
Though his gaze continuously flicking back to y/n leads her to making the effort to finish the whole bottle of water by the time he gets up on the podium.
By the time he gets down and has wrapped up all the media. The moment Lando is in his driver's room he's kissing y/n properly, always eagerly making up for time lost between them in the race.
"You need to drink more baby." Y/n whispers breaking a kiss watching him burst into laughter then picking her up and spinning her around till they're closer to the fridge.
He gets out a drink for both of them, opening one bottle before he hands one off to her.

Ekko and heimerdinger are being nerdy while you sleep
requested. by anon
There was always a soft hum of machinery that filled the air in Heimerdingerâs workshop. And with that accompanied by the occasional clink of tools and the professorâs enthusiastic ramblings. The workshop had an oddly calming atmosphere, a mix of glowing gadgets, bubbling contraptions, and the gentle warmth of lamp-lit light. It was perfect for dozing off, especially after a long day of following Ekko around Zaun.
You were sprawled out on the old, lumpy couch tucked in a corner of the workshop, your head cushioned by one of Ekkoâs jackets that youâd claimed for yourself. Curled up against your side was your pet, a small, scrappy Zaunite fox. Its fur was a mix of gray and russet, with glowing green streaks running along its ears and tail. Ekko had found it injured near one of the Sump scrapers, and after some patching up, it had attached itself to you like glue.
Ekko called it âScrapsâ (because of course he would), and Scraps was now peacefully snoozing, just like you.
Across the room, Ekko and Heimerdinger were huddled around one of the professorâs latest inventions, discussing something that involved words you didnât fully understand.
ââŠbut if you accelerate the coreâs energy output without stabilizing the oscillation, itâll implode,â Ekko said, gesturing animatedly at the device.
Heimerdinger adjusted his tiny glasses, nodding. âPrecisely! Which is why you must ensure the harmonic calibrations are syncedâah, but donât forget to account for temporal distortions.â
As the professor continued explaining, Ekkoâs focus wavered. His gaze drifted toward the couch where you were sleeping, your form softly rising and falling with each breath. Scraps twitched its glowing tail but stayed nestled close to you.
A small smile crept onto Ekkoâs face. You looked so peaceful, completely at odds with the chaos that usually surrounded you both in Zaun. Your hand was loosely tangled in Scrapsâ fur, your other arm tucked under your cheek.
He didnât notice the professor had stopped talking until Heimerdingerâs voice broke through his thoughts. âAh, young love,â Heimerdinger said, his tone tinged with teasing amusement.
Ekko snapped his head back toward him, blinking. âHuh? Whatâre you talking about?â
Heimerdinger chuckled, folding his hands behind his back. âThereâs no use denying it, dear boy. The way youâre looking at them, itâs rather endearing, really.â
Ekkoâs ears burned. âI wasnâtâI mean, I was justââ He trailed off, rubbing the back of his neck. âTheyâre asleep, alright? Thatâs all.â
Heimerdinger hummed, clearly unconvinced. âStill, allow me to impart some wisdom, as one who has witnessed countless romances blossom and wither over the centuries.â
âOh no,â Ekko muttered, groaning.
Ignoring him, Heimerdinger continued, his voice taking on the tone of a well-meaning but meddling elder. âWhen courting a significant other, one must always show respect, patience, and attentiveness. Flowers are an excellent gesture, but so is active listening. Communication, you see, is the foundation ofââ
âProfessor,â Ekko interrupted, exasperated. âI donât think you understand. Weâre notââ
âYoung people these days,â Heimerdinger said with a dramatic shake of his head, cutting him off. âAlways so quick to dismiss advice. But mark my words: treat them well, or youâll regret it!â
Before Ekko could retort, Scraps stirred, lifting its head with a sleepy yawn. The movement mustâve disturbed you because you shifted slightly, blinking groggily as the sound of their voices filtered through your half asleep haze.
âMm⊠whatâs going on?â you mumbled, sitting up and rubbing your eyes. Scraps hopped off the couch and stretched before circling back to your lap.
Ekko winced, shooting you an apologetic look. âSorry, Firefly,â he said softly, using the nickname heâd given you. âDidnât mean to wake you up.â
Fireflyâbecause you were always a little light in Zaunâs darkness, buzzing around him with endless energy.
You shook your head, a sleepy smile tugging at your lips. âItâs fine,â you murmured, scratching Scraps behind the ears. âWhat were you guys talking about?â
Heimerdinger perked up. âOh, nothing of consequence!â he said cheerfully, though his smirk told a different story. âMerely enlightening young Ekko on the art of courtship.â
You blinked, then glanced at Ekko, who looked like he wanted the floor to swallow him whole. âCourtship?â you repeated, raising an eyebrow.
âDonât start,â Ekko muttered, shooting Heimerdinger a look.
The professor chuckled, his ears twitching. âAh, youth. So easily embarrassed.â
You couldnât help but laugh at Ekkoâs expression, your earlier grogginess fading. âWell, did you learn anything useful?â you teased.
Ekko rolled his eyes but smiled despite himself. âYeah, yeah, laugh it up.â
He reached out, ruffling your hair gently before pulling his hand back. âFor real, though. Sorry we woke you up. Want me to walk you home?â
You shook your head, leaning back against the couch. âNah, Iâm good here. I like listening to you two talk.â
Heimerdinger beamed. âA kindred spirit indeed! Intellectual discourse is a joy to behold, is it not?â
Ekko groaned, dragging a hand down his face. âAnd now youâve encouraged him. Great.â
You just laughed again, feeling the warmth of the moment settle around you. Scraps let out a contented sigh, curling up in your lap, and Ekko plopped down on the couch beside you. His hand found yours, giving it a quick squeeze before letting go, his usual ease returning.
The three of you stayed in the workshop, for endless hours as the two nerds worked on their projects. Whereas you cheered them on at the sidelines with cute olâ Scraps to keep you company. Especially when they would talk about all the science lingo that you did not understand. Even though ekko would sometimes explain it in more simpler terms. It didnât quite go through your head. Needlessly to say you enjoyed the days you would spend at the workshop.

franco colapinto x teammate!reader
summary: franco is determined to make his teammate feel better with the perfect warm sweater.
word count: 1.5k
warnings: franco is slightly obsessed with reader, not much franco x reader action but still cute! two mentions of âynâ, shameless and jealous franco.
You had seriously underestimated how cold Vegas would actually be.Â
It seemed like everyone had warned you, âBring sweaters, it will get coldâ they said, and yet you chose to ignore them. So your situation couldâve easily been avoided.Â
You gazed at Liam Lawson from the other side of the paddock, wishing nothing more that you were in his position, wrapped up in a blanket sitting right next to a heater.Â
You sighed, imagining what you would feel like if you were in his position, you were so focused that you didn't see or hear your teammate walk up behind you.Â
Franco looked at you with a smile, although he frowned when he realized you werenât giving him his desired attention, he followed your gaze over to Liam, who was in the middle of an interview.Â
âWhat are we looking at?â he whispered in your ear, ignoring your slight jump.Â
âJesus Franco,â you muttered, trying to calm yourself, âLiam looks real warm right now.âÂ
Franco nodded, rolling his eyes slightly, âYes. Because he had a blanket. Do you not see that?â
You gave him a look, âOf course, I see that. That is the whole point. I want to be warm.âÂ
Franco gave you a look over, keeping his eyes on your bare arms, where he could see the cold making your hair stand up, he smiled, âAh. Are you cold?âÂ
âI canât feel my fingers,â you mumbled, keeping your eyes forward, on Liam.Â
Franco frowned, holding back on asking why exactly you didn't bring a sweater, his stomach felt nauseous at the sight of you gazing at Liam with so much want.Â
Now, you werenât exactly looking at Liam, more so his body temperature, but still, Franco would give anything to have you gaze at him.Â
He gasped, his face brightening, if he got you a sweater, there was no way you would be staring at Liam like that, you would be staring at him like that.Â
âI will be right back.â he spoke firmly, starting to back away, âDo not leave.â you watched him over your shoulder, giggling as he fumbled into a sprint.Â
â
âNo, too uglyâŠâ Franco mumbled to himself as he threw the sweater behind him, he pulled another from his small driverâs room closet, âNo, too blueâŠâ He threw this one behind him as well. Not noticing it landed on his trainer.Â
The man in question jumped in shock, pulling the Williams-style sweater off his head, âWhat the..â he mumbled, turning to Franco, who held up a knitted sweater, âPerfect..â he heard Franco whisper.Â
The trainer stared briefly, watching Franco go back scavenging through his closet. The trainer could only roll his eyes before slowly walking out of the room.Â
âI should get her two.â Franco whispered to himself, âIn case she doesnât like one of them..â he nodded to himself, continuing to throw sweaters he didnt deem fit behind him.Â
After ten minutes of back and forth, Franco existed his driverâs room content, he was going to be your night and shining armor, and then youâll look at Franco with all the love in the world because he was the one to get you warm and cozy. Â
Just as he was going to make his way over to the media pen, where he had left you, he was pulled aside by your manager.
â(Y/N) was looking for you.â she informed him, Franco grumbled to himself, âI told her to stay in place, tonta.â (dummy)Â
âShe got cold.â The woman defended you, âYou left her out thereâŠshe waited for ten minutes.â
Franco held up the two sweaters in his arm with a frown, âI got her sweaters, so she would not be cold.âÂ
Your manager eyes him with a smirk, âYou spent ten minutes finding a sweater to give her?â
Franco shrugged, âI wanted to make sure they were warm.âÂ
The woman tilted her head, âYou know we have a merch store full of sweaters, right?â
Franco turned to her in disgust, âMierda, those sweaters are like this,â he held his thumb and index together, âThey are not warm. They need to be warm.â (shit)
âSo you are giving her your sweaters?â
âYes.â
âDo you think that will make her fall in love with you?â
Franco leaned back in offense, âI do not need to make her fall for meâŠâ he paused, âShe is already in love with me, she just does not know it yet.âÂ
The woman nodded with pursed lips, âYeah because thatâs a totally sane thing to say.â
Franco simply rolled his eyes, having had this conversation one too many times. So what if his obsession with you was just slightly worrying? It was all going to work out in the end, he just knew it. âDo you know where she went?âÂ
Your manager thought for a moment. âShe mentioned being hungry, so she probably went up to eat.âÂ
And with that, Franco went off with a sprint.Â
â
Out of breath, and slight sweating, Franco entered the Williams dining room, eyes sweeping over the place with quick eyes. Only to feel a rush of disappointment when he didn't spot you.Â
He let out a deep disappointed sigh as he took a seat at the bar. The bartender watched him as he wallowed in pity.Â
Franco continued to let out deep, soul-searching sighs, catching the attention of those around him, the bartender walked but to him with an awkward smile, sliding over a glass of water.Â
âHey Franco,â she started, he glanced up at her with a small smile, âYou okay?â she whispered, leaning in, there were all different kinds of people around them, investors, fans, journalists, and no doubt searching for a bit of drama to hold onto, the last thing she wanted was for this interaction to be first-page news tomorrow morning.Â
âNo.â Franco was blunt, âWas (Y/N) here?âÂ
The lady nodded, âYeah she just left actually. She got her usualââÂ
âHot chocolate, whipped cream, caramel drizzle.â the two coursed.Â
The bartender leaned back, impressed, âYou really know her.âÂ
Franco shrugged, âSheâll be my wife one day, I need to know what she likes.â
The lady laughed, âOh yeah? Does she know that?â
Franco tilted his head, âNo sĂ©. I don't think it's a secret that I like her.â (I don't know.)
The woman agreed; this was not the first time sheâd heard about Franco being in love with you. It seemed like every time he and she talked, he managed to somehow make the conversation about you.Â
Now, she didn't know if the feelings were one-sided, the way you looked at Franco certainly made her think they weren't.
She hummed, âWell she took her hot chocolate to go, so I don't know where she went.â
Franco nodded, slowly moving off the chair, his sweaters both tightly secure in his clutch, âOkay then. If she comes back, tell her I'm looking for her.â
â
Franco was late to the fan stage, he had been so busy looking for you that he had lost track of time, and now he was being yelled at by his manager through the phone, demanding to know where he was.Â
It took him two minutes to run from the garage to the fan stage, he was recorded who knows how many times, and he was no doubt trending right now.Â
He had thrown the two sweaters in the arms of his manager when he arrived, wasting no time climbing the small steps up to the stage.Â
What he saw made his stomach drop, there you were in all your glory, wearing no other than aâŠmclaren puffer jacket. And you were talking to no other thanâŠLando Norris.Â
God, the smile on your face made Franco want to claw his eyes out, Lando had never been that funny.Â
Franco ignored the fans yelling his name, instead he squeezed in between you and Lando, wrapping his arms around your waist. âHello,â he mumbled, keeping his eyes on you.Â
Lando looked over at you with an amused smile before walking away, shaking his head slightly.Â
âHi?â you questioned, glancing over to the fanâs direction weary, thankfully they seemed to be paying attention to Lando and Oscar, the latter seemingly saying something funny.Â
âI was looking for you.âÂ
You winced, âSorry but I got really cold, and then I got really hungryâŠâÂ
Franco smiled softly, "It's okayâŠâ he glanced down at your attire, âWhat are you wearing?âÂ
You broke out into a smile, âDo you like it? Lando gave it to me, he said I looked cold.âÂ
âI don't like it,â Franco stated simply, you leaned back, an offended look on your face. âOkay. Rude.âÂ
âItâs really ugly, â he continued, âYou should change.âÂ
You huffed, âI didn't bring any sweaters!âÂ
Franco held up a finger before moving away. You rolled your eyes, moving back to the others on stage.Â
A couple minutes later you felt someone's presence behind you, you jumped slightly, feeling someone pulling on your jacket, looking back you saw Franco, a look on his face.Â
âTake this off,â he mumbled, you glanced to his shoulder, where two knitted sweaters lay. âPorfa?â he pleaded, seeing the hesitation on your face. (please)Â
Later that night, as the fan stage was wrapping up, Franco walked up to Lando, handing him the Mclaren jacket with a smile, âShe didn't want itâŠâ he muttered, âAnd she doesn't want you.â he added as an afterthought, shooting the Mclaren driver a smile before walking over to you.Â
Summary : You're always tired, and Paul's always there to make sure that you get enough sleep even if it means missing him race.

A/N: This is for my sleepy people who like me always need a nap or two during the day.
When you first started dating Paul it didnât cross your mind to tell him how tired you actually got because it was never something that got in the way until you started following him to Grand Prixâs. Going with him was rare because your studies came first, and he understood that thankfully, there were times when you could still be together.Â
But this weekend youâd joined him at the Monaco Grand Prix because well itâs Monaco. Youâd decided to stay in the hotel room for practice catching up on the work that youâd missed during your journey to Monaco.Â
For qualifying youâd gone down to the Hitech garage sitting in the dressing room for Paul and his teammate Amaury. Sitting down as you watched Paul getting suited up with your eyes closing due to a mixture of being tired and the jetlag that was still catching up with you.Â
Paul walked over, pushing a couple of strands out of your face as you looked up to him. He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into his chestÂ
âWhy didn't you say that you're feeling tired, armastus?â He asked softly (Love)Â
âI was feeling okay until I sat down and stopped doing anythingâ You explained, and he nodded, pressing a kiss to your templeÂ
âPlease have a nap while Iâm at qualiâ You sighedÂ
âI want to watch you though babyâ You looked up at him as Paul ran a hand through your hairÂ
âI know you do, armastus, but remember what happened last time you stayed up to watch me?â He asked and, you nodded, looking down a littleÂ
âYeah I rememberâ You had gotten overtired at the last Grand Prix that youâd attended and almost ended up passing out, walking back to the hotel.Â
âOkay so please just have a nap, armastus. I promise that Iâll give you a lap by lap when we get back to the hotel room and even though I know youâll fall asleep listening to me but then I at least know youâre safeâ You nodded looking up at him as he leaned down and pressed a kiss to your lipsÂ
âBe safe out there babyâ You smiled up at himÂ
âYou know I will beâ He smiled, kissing you before leaving the room, and you moved to lay down on the massage table in the middle of the room, waving to Amaury as he left.Â
You slept for the whole of qualifying and through the debriefs, only waking up when you heard Paul and Amaury talking about the car as they walked back into the dressing room. You rubbed your eyes as you looked over in the direction of the voices. Both boys placed their helmets and water bottles down, a clear sign they hadnât been there long. Paul looked over a smile forming on his face as he saw you awake.Â
Keeping up his conversation, he walked over sitting on the massage table next to you as he rubbed a comforting hand across your back. You closed your eyes again, enjoying the comforting touch and the comforting sounds of his voice.Â
You hadnât realised that while Paul was sitting there that youâd actually fallen back asleep again under his touch and warm voice. You couldnât help it. He was just so warm in general. Paul had crouched down in front of you once he was ready to leave for the day, gently rubbing your arm and pushing a few strands of hair out of your face.
âArmastus itâs time to go homeâ He whispered, pressing a kiss to your forehead as you stirred awake. Looking about to get your surroundings before setting your eyes on Paul, who had a small smile on his faceÂ
âTime to get you back to the hotel darlingâ He smiled and you nodded sitting up with Paulâs help because he always finds a way to have physical contact with you when possible.Â
âI didnât mean to fall back asleepâ You whispered, and he noddedÂ
âI know you didnât but you did, and thatâs okayâ He hummed, pressing a kiss to your temple as he took your hand and bag, walking out of the dressing room with you.Â
You couldnât have asked for a better boyfriend. He was always so loving and kind about you constantly just wanting to nap and not leave the house. He didnât care because when you wanted to nap, it meant extra cuddles for him, and he loved the contact even if he was meant to be working.Â
There were often times when Paul was meant to be on Zoom meetings however, you wanted a nap, so you came first. Heâd sit in bed while you lay with your head on his chest - where he placed it - and heâd do the Zoom meeting on his phone from bed. It didnât go down well with the higher ups to begin with, but once they realised that he wasnât ever going to change his setup, they stopped caring.Â
Walking through the paddock to the car park felt like it was taking forever. Maybe thatâs because youâd just woken up, and you still werenât quite fully awake, or maybe itâs just because Formula Two really felt like putting their paddock the furthest away from the entrance.Â
Paul kept one arm around your waist and his other hand was connected to yours probably making sure that you werenât just going to collapse to the floor again even though the reason for that had been discovered Paul wasnât having it.Â
âWhatâs the plans for tonight?â You asked Paul, looking up at himÂ
âWell I cancelled my gym session because I wanted to cuddle you. Iâm doing that in the morning now. So I believe that the night just calls for cuddles and my lap by lapâ He smiled, and you couldnât help but smile back at him. It was the perfect night.Â
And thatâs exactly what happened, well kind of. Paul ordered room service with some of your favourite snacks, including fruit, before picking up the blanket and following you around the room with it.Â
âLet me wrap you upâ He chuckled as you stopped turning to face him, raising your hands up to keep him awayÂ
âI donât want to be wrapped upâ You giggled, and he raised an eyebrowÂ
âThatâs not what you said last nightâ He smirkedÂ
âLast night was different!â You argued, and he shook his head, taking a step towards you, so you took a step back.Â
âWas it really?â He asked, taking another step forward, causing you to take one back.Â
âIt was, and you know it!â You exclaimed, and he chuckled. With every step forward he took, you took one back until your back hit the wallÂ
âShitâ You mumbled as he smirked, closing the gap between you both. Blanket thrown on the couch in the hotel room by now.Â
âNowhere to run now kallisâ He smirked, and you looked up at him. His eyes captivating you as you tilted your head a littleÂ
âAnd what are you going to do about me running away, hmm?â You asked with a slight smirk. His hand came up to hold your jaw in place as he leaned down, pressing his lips to yours, starting a make-out session between the two of you.Â
Eventually, Paul did manage to get you wrapped in the blanket like a burrito after your make-out session lying in bed with you, his arms wrapped around you as your head rested on his chest. His hand brushed through your hair as your eyes started to close, listening to him give a lap by lap about quali. The night was perfect. In fact, the whole day was perfect.Â
