The perfect match

“Hello family!” Oscar said, walking into the appartement.
“Hello mommy!” he heard Lando say back, accompanied by some baby screeching.
*#####################################*
“As I said, I’m not an engineer, I don’t know what it does wrong. It just doesn’t drive fluently, okay!”
His engineer was about to yell something back when James cut the line, telling Alex to come back to the garage.
*#####################################*
“Mr. Stroll” the man said, almost bowing.
“You have influence here.” Lawrence said.
“A little, sir, I –“
“Don’t interrupt me when I’m speaking!” Lawrence thundered, stepping up to the man and grabbing his collar, pulling the way shorter man against the wall.
*#####################################*
“You know, when I was still with – “ Lewis started, then slipped and fell straight on his back. Ollie’s first reaction was wanting to laugh, but then he saw Lewis was laying in a huge pool of blood and there was a body laying just around the corner. Ollie screamed louder than he ever did before, Lewis was crawling away from the body, staring at it in shock, blood all over his body now.
*#####################################*
“You know you can talk to me at any time, right?” Seb said to Lance who was about to put his helmet back on, watching a Mercedes come back into the box.
“I know, but … if I talk about it … it all comes back up.”
*#####################################*
“I’m coming!” Ollie yelled and ran to Lando.
“Get the stuff on!” Lando hurried him to put on the new racing suits “I have an ultrasound appointment at 3 and if I miss it, Oscar is probably going to eat both of us.”
“Oh, I could totally see him do that!” Ollie laughed.
*####################################*
“Sensors are fine, how does the car feel?” Hugh asked.
“The car feels orghsla habshlke fanffna”
“Please repeat, Logan.”
“The fooo threkspala fghrrrrklashbvsla” was all he heard, then the intercom failed, a massive bang was heard at the beginning of the main straight, followed by a fireball shooting past them down the track, making them all look up.
*####################################*
“Duuh dudu du dudu duduuuh DUDUDUH!“ Yuki let out.
“Yuki, we all love you and yes, the Asian continent is called the yellow one, but you do realize you’re not a cartoon character, right?” his engineer asked during third practice.
*#####################################*
“Please turn around and place your hands on your back.” He just ordered and George did as he was told.
“George Russell” the first one said again while putting the handcuffs around his wrists “You are under arrest for grand theft, abduction, sexual assault, physical assault and the murder of Carmen Montero Mundt. You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Did you understand everything I said?”
*####################################*
“Actually, I thought you wanted to go to that theme park?” Pierre asked.
“Oh, we did. It was great. Maya vomited after our third round in the Wheel of Death.” Yuki smiled.
“Sounds like fun.” Pierre said, a little confused.
*####################################*
“Wow. With your behaviour it’s no wonder George didn’t want to have anything else than a quick fuck.” Alex said when they drove up to the hotel.
*####################################*
“Exciting news from lifelong bachelor Lewis Hamilton! After a silence about his private life spanning years, finally we got some news about that. A couple of pictures uploaded on an almost unknown and very new Instagram account showing seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton together with another driver. It is not known when exactly those pictures where taken, but I think it is safe to say they are doing more than just sharing a track!” the host said with a wide smile and then some pictures where displayed, showing Lewis entering the room and starting some foreplay.
*####################################*
“And what about you?” Nico asked.
“What about me?” Kimi asked, mouth already full.
“Don’t talk with a full mouth. Anybody in your life? Girlfriend? Boyfriend? Anyone?”
“No, for what?”
“Everything? Cuddling, shmoozing, making kissy faces, the dirty stuff?”
“No. I can do all of that with myself.” Kimi said and Nico and Ayao just chuckled “What?”
*####################################*
“Really? I thought it would have been quite the good idea, a chef killing someone and then turning them into food!” Yuki said, Pierre looking at him a little scared.
*####################################*
“Well, you know … black guys and their … packages.”
“LANDO!”
“What?! I’m curious and it’s going to be the next question Oscar asks me.”
*####################################*
“Yuki is so different now, so … involved and driven and … grown up.” Pierre tried to explain to Kika while watching Tony more smash and wipe his banana and halved grapes over his face than eating them.
*####################################*
“GET DOWN!” the driver yelled, throwing an arm back and pulling her head down. They got shot at. What started with a single bullet soon turned into a rain, compromising the windows, spraying them with shards and bullets.
*####################################*
“Because he is my husband’s father and you are just some dude getting into my mum’s pants.” Oscar said with a smirk. Max laughed loudly.
“Wow!” Daniel said, fake offended and clutching his chest “I’m feeling deeply hurt by this! You make me feel like being no member of this family at all!”
*####################################*
“Hey, now that you are here, I have to ask you something. You said to Oscar to stay away from Malcolm, why?” Carlos asked.
“He’s not a good guy.” Logan said shortly.
*####################################*
“WHY DO YOU HAVE SEX IN THE KITCHEN?!” Kimi started yelling, rolling around on the floor in pain, holding his face.
“I thought you were already sleeping. It was so silent and the door was closed.” Nico groaned, slowly getting up from the floor, pulling on his underwear.
“It’s 7pm!” Kimi let out, pulling his hand from his face “YOU MADE ME BLEED!”
*####################################*
Liam sat in James Vowles office, his face in his hands. “Just to state it bluntly now. You want to replace a sandbag … with a crash king.”
*####################################*
“It will sound stupid.” Max said.
“I don’t think so.” Charles said, throwing his legs over Max’s lap, turning towards him, intertwining their fingers.
“I’m jealous.”
“Of what?”
*####################################*
“Well, as I started, we will start the main course and while that is in the oven –“ Max started the coffeemaker, drowning out Oscar’s voice completely.
“I’M SORRY! I DIDN’T REMEMBER IT WAS THIS LOUD!” Max yelled over the machine grounding the beans, Oscar looking at the camera exasperatedly.
“YOU KNOW, SOME OF THEM ARE FOLLOWING THIS, BECAUSE THEY ARE GETTING GUESTS LATER! WE ARE ON A SCHEDULE HERE!” Oscar yelled.
*####################################*
“If you cut people out of your life and concentrate more onto your racing, would you win?”
“Maybe … probably.” Max said, unsure.
“And what or who would you cut out?”
“I … don’t know.”
“Is there anyone or anything that you would actually want to cut out?”
“No” Max said almost instantly “But I really love racing and I really want to win.”
*####################################*
“Surprise” Nico said when coming home, lifting up Noemi and cuddling her.
“Why don’t we just open a b&b?” Egle asked when she saw Franco standing in the entrance with Kimi and Nico.
*####################################*
“Hmm? Oh, yeah, all good. Just daydreaming a little.” Logan said, giving him a quick kiss and starting to put away the groceries.
“Are you sure?” Esteban asked, watching Logan’s frantic behaviour.
“Yeah, of course, why wouldn’t it be?” Logan said, taking out some cleaning supplies to clean the already clean island.
*##################################*
“And now stop moping, you got an F40 as a toy at the same time.”
“Yes, I did.” Lando said with a wide and childish smile.
*##################################*
“Well, who ever said that you would have to bottom?” Lewis asked.
“Well … no one … I kind of just … assumed?”
“On what basis?”
“I don’t know, actually. I just … I don’t know.”
*##################################*
“NO!” Chloe yelled into his face “YOU WON’T LOVE ME THEN!” she yelled again and ran into her room, slamming the door.
*##################################*
“Hey, it’s Christian. Little warning, Marko is saying you’re in a deep hole … and that your ‘lack in success’ is the result of the ‘changes in your personal life’.”
“Seriously?! He’s pushing it on that?” Max asked.
*##################################*
Logan stood still frozen, hearing the other’s voice only muffled, until Max touched his shoulder. He aggressively pushed his hand away, punched him in the face and then doubled over, vomiting on the pavement.
*##################################*
“STAY CALM?! YOU LOST MY SON! NO MOTHER WOULD BE CALM!” Kika screeched.
*##################################*
“Eew, what is that?” Yuki asked.
“A ‘hot charcuterie board’ as he said. Kimi saw this amazing recipe on tiktok. Two kinds of cheese, cucumber, grapes, celery, tomatoes, sausage and crackers, heated up together in a pan.”
“Oh, Kimi, no!” Ollie slipped and a little crash and spraying water was heard from the kitchen.
“NICO!” Kimi yelled.
*##################################*
“You test it yourself?” the chef asked while Oscar filled some of the smoothie into a glass.
“Oh no, watch this … Lando! Smoothie for you!” Oscar said a little louder and with a loud laugh, accompanied by even more laughter from the audience, Lando walked up to them.
*##################################*
“I guess you don’t exactly want to ask me to do something?”
“My friend said he doesn’t wants to be responsible if something does happen.”
“I get it. Then … talking to your dad isn’t a crime. You just told me something, you didn’t ask for anything.” Lawrence said with a little smile and pulled the keyboard back towards himself.
*##################################*
“That was well played.” Agent Powell said to Agent Carter.
“Well, after that psych evaluation he would have never believed anything else. That guy is absolutely captivated by his boyfriend.”
“Let’s just hope it’s not going wrong if we’re right.”
“Yeah, that is going to be a rough one.”
*##################################*
“I’m doing good.” Max said, a little bit confused “I’m happy. I could have been a little bit luckier today, would have gotten us some points.”
“Good … as we’re talking about that … uhm … how about … you trying to make a couple more points in the next races?” Christian asked, looking a little uncomfortable.
“Are you putting me on the hot seat?” Max asked after a little silence.
*##################################*
“Your parents are on the other side of that wall!” Logan whispered.
“I’m sure they didn’t hear anything.” Esteban mumbled and Logan raised an eyebrow “They are probably already sleeping.” Esteban smiled at him, about to kiss him, when he heard a moan, which didn’t come from Logan. He stopped moving. Another moan was heard. Logan started chuckling.
“Nooooo” Esteban let out, trying to deny it.
*#################################*
“Awww, look, he rolled over!” Lando exclaimed, showing the phone to Charles.
“Aw, he looks so proud!” Kimi added.
“Well, he managed first, he can be proud of it.” Lando said.
*#################################*
“Run” the man said to him, ripping the grenade from his hands. He turned and ran, hearing a thudding noise behind him. He reached the back door when he was thrown forward, something really heavy pushing him to the floor.
*#################################*
“We need someone in there.” Agent Powell stated.
“How about him?” Agent Carter asked.
“It could work. It could. Let’s work out how this could happen.”
*#################################*
“No rain, huh?” Lando’s onboard was played.
“Well, it wasn’t bleep raining when you said it was!” Raikkonen yelled over the intercom.
*#################################*
“You’re almost like brothers. Don’t fuck it up. If you want to keep that friendship, talk, work on it, whatever, but don’t let it die. The world needs Yuki and Pierre together, alright?”
*#################################*
“You’re scared they are going to break something?” Lando asked.
“I wouldn’t be too sure, Logan is not the … it is better if he does not repair stuff.” Esteban said.
“Oh great, that means we left dumb and dumber in the kitchen alone?” Nico asked.
*#################################*
“He wakes me up and brings me to bed. He brushes my hair and makes my lunch. He brings me to school and plays games with me. He tells me if I am bad but he does not yell at me. He showed me how to ride a bike and he is nice to mommy. He is our daddy Daniel and I want to be part of his family.” Chloe explained and it was silent for a moment.
*#################################*
“STOP! I like my ears.” Nico interrupted them from the front passenger seat and they were silent. Kimi looked at Noemi and pulled a face, wiggling his head in mocking. Noemi giggled.
“Kimi! Stop teaching her bad behaviour.” Egle said from the driver’s seat.
“Uuuuh, Kimi in trouble.” Noemi said.
“Little Lady!” Egle said firmly and they entered the parking lot, the car now silent.
*#################################*
“They want me at work. Simulator work and maybe get a little time on track, although that’s not sure, yet.” Alex said with a wide smile.
“And you think that car will bring you somewhere?” Sam asked cautiously.
*#################################*
“Maybe he didn’t turn after all.” Ollie said, just before a massive hit got them. The car from earlier crashed into their right taillight, flipping them over twice and making the airbags go off.
*##################################*
“I really want to call him now.” Oscar said, wrapping his arms around himself.
“I get it, but he doesn’t want us to.” Lando said, looking at Oscar on his laptop.
“And I will respect that.” Oscar said and they heard a little gurgle “Oh, did someone hear daddy’s voice?” Oscar asked and leaned out of the frame.
*#################################*
Max saw Charles sitting on the couch in their suite, staring into nothing. He sat down next to him, pulling him in his lap, holding him close and kissing his hair.
“I didn’t sense anything. I should … as an omega, right?” Charles asked and let out a pained wail.
*##################################*
“Oh no, what did they do?”
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“The last time they ‘surprised’ me, they misread an advertisement and I got a drag show. Don’t get me wrong, it was a lot of fun, but it was not what they planned for ‘Danny’s 33 – double the number, double the party’ thing they had told me about.”
*##################################*
“That sheep is the love of his life.”
“Well … as long as the sheep consents.” Lando said and Oscar raised an eyebrow “That’s not how I meant it and you know that. You’re a very dirty man.”
*##################################*
“You’re seriously trying to make this a habit!” James Vowles said in fake anger “You can’t keep flying in and scooping up our talents with all your shiny energy drinks you know?!”
*##################################*
“Oh, Jesus Christ!” Daniel exclaimed, seeing Logan and Lewis collide with each other in Eau Rouge, being flung apart and hitting the barrier on each side of the turn. Red Flag.
“Lewis, are you okay?” they heard from the tv, followed by Lewis’ hard breathing.
*##################################*
“Fuck … how much did you hear?”
“Where is Alex?” he asked forcefully after closing the door.
“He is in a safe place.”
“Safe place my ass! That’s a bullshit answer and you know it! Where is he? What is going on?”
*##################################*
“Are you sure you are okay?” Lando asked during their facetime, after a little silence.
“Yes, it just … it started so great, they slept really well, we went over, they played with Chloe and Arti for a bit, everything was fine and the last thirty minutes do not hit your brother” Oscar said, the laptop pushed aside and a baby was wailing.
*##################################*
“There … was a body found at the track.” Yuki said.
“A dead one?” Tiffany asked.
“A live one wouldn’t be an issue, would it?” Maya asked, earning a disturbed look from Kika “What? I warned you I have a weird side.”
