It started as just a hobby of yours. You loved to read, so you started uploading videos of your book review. You never expected your following to get this big. However, nearly 9 million followers on TikTok and 3.5 million subscribers on Youtube later, you were able to convince your parents that this could be a possible career for you. It's not like you would ever stop reading.
Granted, they were already upset that you decided to start dating an up-and-coming race car driver. Never mind that you were childhood friends, and started dating when you turned 16. Never mind the fact that you two had been dating for going on three years at this point too. They would never fully approve of your choices.
When you graduated secondary school, instead of going straight to university like your parents wanted, you did what your heart wanted and began traveling with Arvid full-time. You had your camera with you constantly, and there was never a shortage of books. You had all the time in the world to do what you loved while he did what he loved.
On this day, it was particularly hot, and you could not find the words you were trying to say. You had already read the book, and you knew everything about it. You were just struggling to put your thoughts into words. You were sitting in the Prema trailer between sessions, trying and failing at this video more times than you could count. You decided you just needed a break. There was no point in forcing content when you knew you just needed a minute away. Well, not a minute. Maybe an hour or two. Either way, you decided to head out of the trailer and to the garage where you knew Arvid was getting ready for the sprint race.
You walked out to the grid where Arvid was standing with Dino between their cars. They were starting ninth and tenth since they locked out the front row for the feature race. You showed your pass to the security on the grid before running up to wrap your arms around Arvid's waist from behind.
"How's my boyfriend and his teammate doing?" You asked when his attention turned to you immediately.
"I'm just the teammate now? Rude," Dino complained before turning to talk to his race engineer.
"I'm doing alright, ready to get this race started. How's my bookworm doing?" Arvid replied as he turned in your arms to face you and wrapped his arms around your shoulders. Then, he planted a kiss on your forehead. "Not overworking yourself, right?"
"Maybe a little," You chuckled shamelessly as you hid your face in his chest. "I just needed a break, and I knew you were about to get in the car, and I wanted to see you before then. Is that a crime?"
"Not exactly," He laughed lightly as he swayed the two of you around. He moved one of his hands from your shoulders to tilt your head to look at him as he gently tapped against your temple. "What's going on up here?"
"Everything and nothing, if that makes sense," You sighed. Arvid always had that calmness to him that made it easy to talk about your feelings. Even now, it was no different despite the fact that he should definitely be focusing on the impending race, but no. He'll always give you his full attention. "I just can't seem to get the words right. I just needed a brain break."
"Well, you're in luck," Arvid replied enthusiastically as some person started gesturing for him to get in the car. He pulled you with him toward the car before leaning against the halo. "You are about to witness 22 cars go in circles for 32 laps. Nothing screams 'brain break' like watching things go in circles. Tell me I'm wrong."
"I wish I could," You snorted. You noticed a few people of the team kind of eyeing you two, trying to get Arvid in the car sooner. "You need to get in your car. Like now. I don't need to be the reason you get a penalty."
"I don't get a kiss for good luck? Wow," Arvid pouted as he turned to grab his helmet, balaclava, and Hans device from his race engineer. He disregarded you as he listened to some last-minute info from his engineer. Then, he turned back to you after putting his balaclava and helmet on. "Can you still do the ritual?"
"Of course," You comforted as you took the Hans device from his hands to put it over his shoulders and click it into place as you spoke to him. "Drive fast, and don't crash. I don't want to be in a hospital today, so be safe. Think twice before going on the inside, and most importantly," you paused before holding his head between your hands. You left a kiss on top of his helmet before adding, "Have fun," and flicking his visor down.
"Okay, you two are cute, but can you both please stop simping before I have to get in a car?" Dino butted in, completely ruining the moment.
"You're a cock block, Beganovic," Arvid groaned as he pulled you in for one last hug before he climbed into his car.
"He's just jealous, don't let him get to you," You gave Arvid one last pat to the top of his helmet before being dragged off the track with his engineer. You were pulled up to the pit wall and given a headset. You pressed the button to talk to Arvid one last time before lights out. "Radio check."
"Loud and clear," Arvid smirked. It was always part of the ritual.
"Good, now give 'em hell for me," You smirked as you watched him go out on the formation lap. "I expect nothing less than 10, you hear?"
"I hear you," He chuckled. "I expect nothing less than 22."
"Alright wise guy," You laughed, looking at his engineer who was listening to the whole conversation. "Focus on the lights and keep it out of the wall."
