Lance Stroll as Your Boyfriend – Who’s Been in Love with You for Years

---

He’s had a quiet thing for you for years. It wasn’t some loud, dramatic crush—it was the kind that lingered. The kind that made his heart ache a little when you laughed at someone else’s joke or smiled at someone who wasn’t him.

He’s the kind of guy who’d remember the little things. Your coffee order. The way you hate socks in bed. Your favorite song from a playlist you made two summers ago. He never forgot, even when you were just friends.

When you finally got together, it felt like everything just clicked. Not fireworks, not chaos—just… peace. Like, of course it’s you. It was always you.

He’s so soft for you it’s unreal. Like, he’ll try to act chill around others, but the second you hold his hand or kiss his cheek, he melts. Full-on boyfriend goo.

He gets genuinely happy just being around you. Like, you could be talking about the most boring thing, and he’d still be staring at you like you’re the best part of his day.

He talks about you in interviews without even realizing. “Yeah, I was watching that show with my girlfriend…” and suddenly everyone’s like so he’s in love, huh?

He loves slow mornings with you. Bare faces, messy hair, sharing breakfast in silence or with music playing low in the background. That’s his version of heaven.

He’ll randomly hug you from behind. Especially when you’re distracted. It’s like he’s reminding himself you’re really his now.

He doesn’t get super mushy with words, but his actions speak volumes. Picking you up even when he’s exhausted, cooking with you at 11 p.m., sending a “landed safe” text because he knows you worry.

You’re his calm in the chaos. Life in F1 gets hectic, but he always says the best part of every race weekend is coming home to you.
