Sick - Lando Norris

When you woke up this morning, your boyfriend Lando was already gone. There was a small note laying on your phone, saying that he was working out with Jon and would go to the track right after it. You grabbed your phone from the nightstand and saw that you had a few messages from Jon.

Was Lando feeling okay yesterday? He looks a little bit pale...

I just wanted to let you know that we stopped working out earlier and he's now taking a nap. Call me when you get this.

Jon sent you those messages two hours ago. You quickly look up his number in your contacts and call him.

'Good morning,' he said as soon as he picked up the phone.

'Morning. How is he doing?'

'Better, I think. He seems better. He said that he barely slept last night. It's probably just that. The nap did him good. He's now talking to the team.'

'Good,' you sighed in relief. It was probably nothing to worry about, just like Jon said.

'Are you coming to the track soon?'

'Yeah, just going to get ready, grab some breakfast and head your way.'

'Alright, see you then.'

'Bye.' You hung up the phone and started to get ready. You wanted to see for yourself that Lando was really doing better. Of course, everyone had their bad nights, but as a driver, you had to be on top of your came. Bad nights could lead to many other bad things nobody wanted to happen. You quickly grabbed your stuff, quickly ate some breakfast downstairs and headed to the track.

Once you arrived at the track, Jon was the first person that you saw.

'You did that fast,' Jon noticed when he saw you.

'I know. Can I talk to him? Where is he?'

'In the garage, they're working right now. It's better to wait for another hour or so.'

You shook your head. 'I'm just going to say hi real quick.' Before Jon could say anything, you were already off to the garage. You quickly made your way in and saw Lando talking to his engineer. From a distance, he looked fine. Yes, he was a little bit pale. But it looked like he was doing alright.

You made your way over to Lando.

A slight smile grew on his face as he noticed you.

You could see that the smile wasn't sincere. He wasn't doing okay. You could see the bags under his eyes. You walked over to him and greeted him with a kiss. 'Good morning. How is everything going here?' you asked.

'Good. We have high expectations for today,' Lando said and tried to sound as excited as possible.

'Can I talk to you for a second, just us two?' you said.

'Sure.'

The two of you headed out of the garage and stood right outside.

'Are you okay? Jon said that you didn't sleep very well last night?'

Lando sighed. 'I'm fine. Like Jon said, I didn't sleep very well. I woke up with a headache, but I'm doing better. I slept for a while, had some medicine, and I'm okay now.'

'Are you able to drive?'

'Of course, Y/N. It's nothing to worry about. But I do have to get back in,' he said.
