F1 Oneshots (Boy x Boy / Driver x Driver)

[6](Part 1) Max Verstappen x Lando Norris

[6] "Get out. I want you to leave."

---

Max and Lando had been together for exactly 11 months and 29 days now. Which meant that it was going to be their first anniversary tomorrow. Lando had already been excited for this weeks beforehand. He didn't expect any expensive presents or huge romantic gestures from Max, as he knew his boyfriend wasn't the most romantic guy. He was just looking forward to them finally spending some quality time together again, as they had both been very busy during the last few months.

When the day finally came, Lando almost couldn't contain himself anymore. He had woken up at 6, to spend the entire morning frantically cleaning and tidying his apartment, just to make a mess out of it again when he tried to decide on what to wear and emptied his entire wardrobe onto the floor in the process. Deciding on black jeans and a simple white t-shirt, he tried to get rid of the pile of clothes on the floor as quickly as possible again. Max would be here at 1 PM, so the brit only had one hour left to bake the cake he had planned as a surprise. Needless to say he could have saved cleaning the kitchen until after that complete chaos aswell.

The fact that Max could arrive any second now made him so nervous and excited, that he almost dropped the cake while taking it out of the oven. The icing he had put on top was a little messy in some places but you could still read the "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I LOVE YOU" he had written out with it perfectly fine.

As he had finished cleaning the kitchen and setting the table with the cake on display in the midde, he rushed to the bathroom to fix his hair. He knew Max like his curls all ruffled and messed up like this and most of the time he didn't really mind leaving it this way but today he just wanted everything to be perfect.

When it was 1:05 and Max hadn't arrived yet, Lando was almost happy about it, because he still had time to change his shirt, that had a big stain on the front from the action in the kitchen earlier. Also he knew, his boyfriend was always a few minutes late.

When 1:30 came around, Lando started to get a little nervous. Had they really agreed on 1 or had there maybe been a misunderstanding? He re-read their text messages again. No, 1PM on Friday, everything was alright. Just to be sure he sent Max a short message saying "I'm so excited, hurry up love :)"

When his watch told him it was 1:45 and there still wasn't any sign of Max or at least a reply to his message, Lando began to worry. What if something had happened to him? Maybe Max had tried to read his text in the car on the way and had an accident? He nervously paced up and down the living room now, not knowing what to do.

At 2:00 Lando tried to call his boyfriend for the third time. Mailbox again. His hands were shaking now. He was sure something bad must have happened. Max would have called or texted him if he was running this late. The brit was on the verge of tears now. Max was probably out there somewhere terribly injured or even worse and he couldn't do anything.

When it was 2:20 and he still hadn't heard from Max, Lando went into full panic mode. As a last resort, he tried to call Daniel. Maybe he, being Max' best friend knew something or was able to help.

"Hey Lando, what's up?" he could almost heard the australian's smile through the phone, although his voice sounded deeper and more raspy than usual. Landos voice cracked and could only get out a small whimper. "Lando? Are you okay?" Daniel seemed to realize that something was wrong now. "I...I was waiting for M-Max, but he didn't come, so I texted him and... fuck, I'm so stupid, I shouldn't have done that. I think... I think he must have had an accident or something like that, Dan. He's not answering his phone... I'm so scared. I have to go look for him but I don't know where. I-" Lando's confused stuttering and crying was now interrupted by the older "Shh Lando, everything is fine! Max is here with me, nothing happened to him, he's totally fine. Please stop crying, everything is okay. You did nothing wrong!"

It felt like all the weight fell from Lando's shoulders at once and he was finally able to breathe properly again. Max was okay. Everything was fine. "He...umm, he must have lost track of time and his phone is on silent. So sorry Lando, he'll be there as soon as possible!" Lando wanted to answer and thank Daniel but the older cut him off again with a quick "Bye!" and hung up. Not putting any further thought into this and just laughing it off as Daniel being weird as always, the McLaren-driver slumped onto the sofa, exhaling the breath he hadn't even realized he was holding. He was so relieved. He had already seen Max lying in a hospital bed or some roadside ditch or even worse than that in his mind. He was so glad nothing had happened to him.

When the doorbell rang, Lando sprinted to open the door and leaped into Max' arms. "Thank god, you're okay. I was so worried!" he mumbled into his boyfriends neck, hugging him tightly. "Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry for being late." Max sighed and pushed the other away a little, to stop the bone crushing hug. This made Lando grab his hand an pull him towards the dining room. "No problem babe, I'm just glad you're here now. Come on, I have a surprise for you waiting in the-" Lando's grin fell from his face and he stopped dead in his tracks as he turned around to face his boyfriend again. Properly this time. Since he had jumped straight into Max's arms when he first saw him, apparently he hadn't really looked at him properly. How else could he have missed the dark redish-purple bruise clearly visible on his neck?

Max must have realized where he was staring at, because his hand quickly shot up now, to cover the hickey. Lando opened his mouth a few times to say something, but no words came out. Instead the tears were back in his eyes now. "Lando, I'm sorry! I can explain, Daniel and I, we-" the dutchman stuttered. "You cheated on me while I've been waiting here for you, worried sick, thinking you might be dead? On our fucking anniversary?" Lando interrupted him, tears now streaming down his face and hands shaking again. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to."

"Get out. I want you to leave." Lando's voice suddenly sounded much calmer and incredibly cold. "But Lando, I-" Max tried to take his hand again. "Leave!" the younger one shouted, pushing him towards the door. He felt so betrayed. He had wanted their special day to be perfect. It could have been so amazing. Now everything was ruined. Not just their anniversary, but their entire relationship.

When Lando finally managed to push Max out and slam the door in his face, he broke down sobbing uncontrollably, the horrible feeling of betrayal stinging in his chest. How could the man he loved with all his heart treat him like this? Break his trust like this? Cheat on him with their friend and colleage? It felt like his heart had shattered into a million pieces.
