Lando x Oscar Pt. 6/6

+1. Lando's hoodie- Testing

After the winter break, the first thing that drivers do to get back into the swing of things is to do winter testing. Which is where Lando and Oscar were heading.

By this point, a large portion of twitter had a rumor mill going about Lando. And whether he actually was dating Oscar or whether it was some sort of joke.

There were lots of different rumors swirling around, including who had been in Lando's flat. Most people were correct in saying that it was Oscar. There was another large portion though who blatantly refused to even acknowledge Oscar's presence. They all thought it had to be Carlos in Lando's flat despite all the evidence pointing to it being Oscar.

Neither Lando or Oscar paid much attention to the rumors. Or at least they tried not to. It was pretty hard to ignore completely. Both of them had several apology messages from Carlos about the behaviour of some of his fans towards Oscar. They assured Carlos that it was not in any way whatsoever his fault.

Anyway, the rumors were extremely hard to ignore.

Unfortunately for both of them, the first day of winter testing had them on vastly different schedules. At least for the morning they were. Lando was required to be up and out quite early whereas Oscar was afforded a lie in, much to his relief.

On that morning, Lando quietly slipped out of the bed, gently prising Oscar's arms from around his waist. Oscar let out a small whimper in his sleep when Lando left his arms, which made it really hard for Lando to even contemplate leaving Oscar alone. But he had to, so Lando covered a pillow in his hoodie and placed it in Oscar's arms. Lando watched as Oscar immediately snuggled up to the pillow, a content smile forming on his face.

Before Lando threw all caution to the wind and just decided to crawl back into bed with Oscar, he forced himself to go into the bathroom and start getting ready. When he was ready to leave, Lando went and pressed a soft kiss to Oscar’s forehead.

He noticed that Oscar felt quite warm, but put it down to Oscar generally running hot. Whereas Lando ran cold so always wanted lots of blankets, which Oscar put up with.

Quietly, Lando headed out the door, making sure that the door shut softly behind him. That was one of the worst parts about this. Having to leave your boyfriend asleep in bed. At least he could actually spend time with Oscar though, not many other drivers had that luxury.

It was only around lunchtime that day that Lando first saw his boyfriend. And all Lando wanted to do was wrap Oscar up in his arms. Wrap in him a blanket. Put him back to bed. Lando did the first one. Which was the only feasible one to be able to do at that moment. He didn’t care that there were a bunch of cameras on them.

Oscar looked ill. That was the only way to describe it. He was wearing Lando's hoodie that Lando had placed on the pillow earlier, which was one of Lando's beige Vegas hoodies. Lando sweeped him up into his arms, as Oscar looked at him with a kicked puppy type of look, when he was walking towards Lando.

“Oh baby, what's up?” Lando asked as Oscar sniffled into his shoulder. In this state Oscar was small and fragile. All Lando wanted to do was scoop him up and hold him tight. Which effectively he was doing. But Lando would rather be in bed or at the very least on the couch doing this.

“Sick.” This was the only thing that Oscar managed to get out in a half whimper, half sob and a bit of a sniffle.

In that moment Lando's heart shattered into tiny pieces in a way that he didn't know was possible. Note to self, seeing a loved one ill is extremely heartbreaking no matter how mild the illness is.

“Oh baby.”

Lando kept one arm around Oscar's waist as he pressed a kiss to his boyfriend's forehead. Then he led Oscar through the paddock and towards Mclaren, still keeping him close. Not that Oscar would let Lando go anyway, he still had his head tucked very firmly into the crook of Lando's neck and was heavily relying on Lando to lead him.

They passed a few drivers on the way, all who congratulated them. Presumably on getting together. None of them seemed particularly surprised that they were now a thing.

It should also be mentioned that most of what had happened had been caught on camera. Which was now plastered all over, every corner of the Internet. To be honest, pictures would be all over the Internet anyway, Oscar was wearing Lando's hoodie after all. What had happened was just the cherry on top of confirming that Lando and Oscar were an item.

When Lando and Oscar walked into Mclaren, Andrea took one look at Oscar and immediately decided that Oscar was on rest for the rest of the day.

“I'd prefer it if you were in bed. But clearly you're probably more likely to stay here where Lando is. So really it's down to you. But I do require you to REST,” Andrea ordered Oscar. “You are clearly in no state to drive a car.”

Oscar tried his best to persuade Andrea that, no, he was in fact perfectly capable of driving the Mclaren. He gave his best attempt at puppy eyes, but Andrea held firm. Unlike Lando would've done. He'd have caved at first look.

So Oscar grumbled about it, in the midst of a coughing fit, but decided he would stay in the garage. He'd get more cuddles from Lando that way.

The Mclaren PR team were currently having to work overtime to sort out a statement and whatnot to deal with Lando and Oscar basically exposing themselves as being together. They were doing this whilst Oscar sat curled up in Lando's lap in the back of the Mclaren garage.

On a normal day, they probably would've tried to keep their relationship a secret for longer. But they didn't. They still survived though and managed to get through any bumps and hurdles they came across.

In the end, the reactions from the media were mostly positive and if they weren't, they had the backing of the other drivers and teams.

Oscar ended up keeping Lando's hoodie, mainly because Lando had so many of his. Oscar couldn't exactly pinpoint how it came to this exactly. But somehow it did. Not that Oscar particularly cared that much. Except when it came to finding that hoodie that he wanted, and it was never anywhere to be found. But Oscar wouldn't change this for the world. And neither would Lando.
