Driven by Desire

1.10 ~ Lusail

The heat and humidity of Qatar immediately pounced upon Oscar as he stepped off the plane and headed onto the tarmac at Losail International Airport.

As he finally took his phone out of airplane mode, out came through the notification.

BREAKING NEWS: Williams 'considering all options' as question marks remain over the final seat on the grid

The news hit Oscar like a train. He loved Logan and knowing that his rookie campaign had been far from ideal, he had to confess his feelings sooner rather than later. But he was in Qatar. One of the world's most dangerous countries for homosexuals.

He arrived at the hotel half an hour later and managed to check-in without too much fuss. Oscar hated when fans found out where the drivers were staying and breached their privacy.

After a quiet face-time call with his mum, Oscar finally tucked himself into bed - just as a notification popped up on his phone.

1 NEW MESSAGE

Odd. It was nearly 2am.

Logan: Hey. Can we talk? x

Oscar jumped up in surprise. What on Earth was happening? Logan messaging him at this time? Why?

Within seconds, Oscar replied.

Oscar: I'm awake :) What's up? x

And eagerly... he awaited a response.

Logan: I think I like you...

Oscar's heart froze in that moment. LOGAN LIKES HIM?! What does he reply with?

Oscar typed out dozens of responses, not knowing what to say at this moment in time... he was genuinely speechless. He wasn't ever prepared for this moment of confession from Logan. He isn't the sort of person to ever confess feelings like this. He was a quiet and solitary figure who stayed with himself.

Oscar: I think I like you too x

As Oscar pressed sent, his heart stopped once more... and he waited for a response again from Logan to confirm that everything is actually okay. Oscar stared at his phone screen, waiting for the three typing dots to appear...

Until three knocks hit the door.

Oscar jumped up and practically ran to the door. He swung it open.

It was Logan.

"Hey," said Logan, "I'm glad you're still awake."

"Hi." Oscar replied.

Almost instantly after that word escaped Oscar's mouth, their lips crashed against one another. A moment they had longed for. They had confessed their feelings finally and now they can share a moment they can both enjoy without worrying about upsetting the other person.

Oscar took Logan's hand and lead him into the bedroom, before pushing him onto the bed and falling onto his crush, once again kissing in a moment of passion. They continued kissing each other as Logan ran his hand through Oscar's famously unbrushed hair. Eventually they are lay on top of each other, breathlessly panting for air, casually staring at each other in a peaceful moment of silence.

"I think I enjoyed that... a lot." Oscar spoke softly.

"I can tell you did." Logan replied.

"I'm glad you told me. I wanted to tell you myself but couldn't get the courage to."

"Since we've been in F1 together, I genuinely think we're meant to be."

Oscar smiled as his crush lay on him. The pair continued to lie there all night, enjoying each other's company before drifting off to sleep in each other's arms. Safe from the terrors of the world, secure from the outside world. Loscar... where they were meant to be. Safe, together.
