*on the phone*

stranger: i have your daughter

lewis: what? all of my kids are boys

stranger: then who the fuck is this princess-

lewis, screaming to seb : OH SHIT THEY HAVE GEORGE

[verstappenalty]

they call max mother bc he's actually present

[f1llolst]

I need a fic where Nico Rosberg is the grid dad of all the younger drivers (Lando, Oscar, Logan, Alex, Lance etc. (+Max because who wouldn’t adopt max???) without the older drivers knowing (Jenson knows because he and Britney are bestieees). And the older drivers think they are their grid dads. So Charles (he isn’t Nico’s grid kid because seb) thinks Oscar is his grid kid and Lewis thinks max and lando are his and Fernando has lance and Logan (in my head it makes sense).

So one day they all hang out in someone’s drivers room and Max is having a panic attack and their Lewis and the other grid dads can’t calm him down and Oscar is like “I’m going to get mom” (it’s what they all collectively call Nico to tease him) and the grid dads are confused because why would Oscar get Nicole piastri? And suddenly Oscar walks in with freaking Nico Britney Rosberg in tow who quickly calms down all his kids ( they all started to freak out because they couldn’t stop max panic attack)

And that’s how they all found out they share the custody of their grid kids.

Kimi, Yasmin, Jack and Liam: (all beaten and bruised, trying to sneak into their rooms unnoticed)

Max: (turning on the lights)

Yasmin: Ahhh! Hi Max

Max: Where have you been

Kimi: ...... Nowhere?

Max: How did you get so hurt?

Yasmin: Oh, that! W-Well, you see, we were um.....

Kimi: Hit....

Jack: By a....

Liam: Bus?

Max: (unimpressed silence)

Jack: (whisper shouting) hit by a bus, really

Liam: What was i meant to say? Cow? Meteor? Flying car?

Niki lauda, the grid dad with his kids ✨️

[1337wtfomgbbq]

Niki: All of your existences are confusing.

The grid: How so?

Niki: Your presence is annoying, but the thought of anything bad happening to any of you upsets me.

In which Jak has to learn how to properly take care of curly hair

It turned out that the king of the Wastelanders was a little less intimidating when he was arguing with Sig. For all that he retained his commanding presence, with or without his armor, the low stakes of the disagreement seemed to soften him into something more human.

"I'm just going right back to the city again tomorrow!" Sig complained, "I'll do Wash Day when I get back."

"The rot you will," Damas retorted, pointing a comb menacingly at him, "We both know you'd rather shave your head than bother with Wash Day. Just get it over with and you won't have to deal with it for another two weeks."

"Come on, man!"

"You're setting a bad example for Jak," Damas said smugly.

Sig's nostrils flared. "Ohhh you rotsucker. That's not fair."

"I don't have to play fair on Wash Day."

Jak and Daxter watched the back and forth with growing amusement, especially when the indomitable Sig capitulated with some very creative expletives. Why was he making such a big deal out of washing his hair? Daxter washed twice a week if they could get the soap for it. Jak...didn't wash as much, but he tried to at least rinse off the sweat.

"It's just washing hair, how long could it take?" he snorted as Sig dragged out a low stool in front of the sink in the corner.

"An hour at least," Sig grumbled.

"An hour? For hair?" Jak sputtered, "Why would you spend that much time on it?!"

Sig looked at him. Damas looked at him. After a moment, Damas sighed.

"Well, that tracks."

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

Damas reached up and fiddled with the crown piercings, sliding them out of tiny metal ports in his skull with a soft click one by one. He set them on the table and distractedly waved Jak over.

"Hair like ours requires more care than your friend there," he explained. "I somewhat doubt you like running around with your curls all knotted and broken together like that. Hasn't anyone ever showed you how to care for them?"

Daxter scoffed. "Self-care was never high on Samos's priority list of subjects to teach us."

Curious but cautious, Jak edged closer to the table to look at the jars Damas had set out. Oils, creams, some kind of soap. Were Damas and Sig really going to use all of these? He picked one up and examined it closely, smelling coconut.

"That's the last step," Sig said, plucking the jar from his hands unexpectedly.

Jak blinked. Without his hood and armor, Sig looked...weird. His hair was close-cropped, but not shaved; olive green coils somewhat smashed into the shape of his helmet. Daxter snickered from behind him.

"Hat hair!" he whispered.

Sig was not amused. He yanked open the first jar of oil and applied it liberally to his hair. "Just do as I do, cherry. No commentators from the peanut gallery."

Damas followed suit with an impish smile altogether out of place on his stoic face. "This is why I don't do helmets."

"Because your head is too fat for them?"

Damas paused in rubbing the oil into his locs to narrow his eyes at Sig. "I know how to override your door lock, you know."

"Oooh I'm so scared. Whatcha gonna do? Shampoo me to death?" Sig taunted.

"I could do that. Or I could add something to your ammunition pouch."

"Add what?"

"I'm not telling you."

"Add what, Daym?"

"You'll find out."

Jak raised an eyebrow at the two grown men behaving like, well, like him and Daxter. They seemed distracted, and he was curious, so after a moment he gave in and poured a handful of oil into his own hair. Presumably they'd wash it out next.

He was wrong.

Thirty minutes he had to sit with the oil soaking into his hair, bored out of his skull. No wonder Sig hated doing this! He couldn't even leave the room, because he didn't know where to find another sink! Equally bored, Daxter started rifling through Jak's jacket pockets until he came up with the bag of trail rations.

"Wanna play Kill-Grid?" he asked, holding up the bag, "Nuts versus beans?"

"We don't have a grid," Jak pointed out.

Sig leaned forward. "Kill-Grid? What's that?"

Jak shrugged. "It's a game we played a lot back in Sandover. You make a grid of sixteen squares. Twelve pieces on each side, the middle row stays empty."

Daxter opened the bag to see if there were enough nuts and beans to even play as he added, "It's...kinda like checkers. Except the board shrinks if a whole row gets cleared out."

"Yeah! If every piece in one row gets captured, you erase that row and make the grid even smaller. Whoever has the most pieces left when there aren't any more open spaces is the winner."

Just speaking about the game seemed to lift a weight from the boy. Damas saw life returning to his eyes, and he actually sounded like a fifteen year old ought to for a moment. Sorrow clawed at his guts like an animal trapped inside. This was his son, his firstborn, and a complete stranger. A young boy who seemed to only barely remember that he was meant to have a childhood. Who didn't even know basic self-care.

"Time's up," he said, gently interrupting the explanation, "Time to shampoo."

"Finally!" Sig huffed.

The chamber fell silent save for the sounds of water splashing and soap squishing into curls. Jak watched Sig with wide eyes, earnestly mimicking every step as best he could. Cross-legged on the rug, barefoot and barefaced, he looked...he looked like he belonged there. Like he always should have. Damas watched his lost-and-found child's face morph into surprise as he discovered how easily his fingers slipped through the tangles now. It wasn’t so very different from teaching Mar to wash his own hair. Just how neglected had Jak been? Damas couldn’t help wondering if Jak and Mar were on equal footing in their knowledge of how growing up was meant to be. It wasn't right for a boy to be so unused to kindness. It wasn't natural.

"Y'know," Daxter remarked, "I really didn't think your hair was that long?"

Jak shrugged helplessly and fumbled with slippery, wet hair, trying to put yet another round of oil into it. Before, it had brushed against his shoulder blades, bulked out with matts and snarls. Now it hung nearly to his waist, and he was getting tired of it sticking to his fingers.

"Ugh," he groaned after having to return to the oil jar yet again. "Sig, can I borrow your knife? I'm not doin' this."

Damas shot Sig a dirty look as the taller man snickered.

"What, ah, whatcha gonna do with it, cherry?"

Jak raised a brow. "Cut it??"

With some effort, he gathered up the thick hair into one fist and gestured to about three inches. "Look, that's gonna get tangled in my holster. I don't wanna deal with that."

"We have scissors, you know," Damas pointed out.

"Knife's faster."

Damas paused and blinked. Somehow, Jak had turned out more like Sig than Mar had, and Mar was the one who actually shared blood with him! As grateful as he was -- overwhelmingly, shatteringly relieved and grateful -- that of all the people to have taken Baby Heart under his wing, it was Sig, he could have done without Sig’s impatience for hair care being passed along.

Even so, there was no bite in his voice when he muttered to Sig, "He gets this from you, doesn't he?"

"I apologize for nothing," Sig joked.

He pulled his knife out and handed it over to Jak.

"Let Daxter do it, kiddo. He can see the parts you can't."

"Fair enough," Jak agreed easily.

"If I get buried in this stuff, I demand financial compensation," Daxter warned as he was passed the knife.

"That's going to bounce up shorter than you think, you know," Damas commented. "Especially with the extra weight taken off."

"Hey, as long as it's not in my face or wrapped around my gun, I don't give a crap," Jak answered. He leaned back on his palms to give Daxter better access to the long curls.

"What was I supposed to do after the second oil soak? Is that it?"

"You can stop there," Sig begrudgingly admitted, "But in your case it...probably would be better to do one last thing of cream, since you don't wear a helmet like me. It'll protect your hair later."

Jak made a face, and Sig didn't blame him. As a boy, Sig had never been the most patient individual. He'd learned plenty of patience over the years, but when he was off-duty? He couldn't help some of the old instincts to just get it done and over with.

It was a good thing his mama couldn't see him right now. She'd box his ears and hold his head in the sink to finish the Wash Day herself. Selda had never let him get away with neglecting himself. Sig supposed he would have to start channeling his mother to ensure that Jak didn't continue to neglect himself.

Daxter set down the knife and examined his handiwork critically.

"Mm...well, it ain't stylish, but you don't look like you let a blindfolded batfinch style your hair, at least."

Damas made a little harrumph in the corner as he wrapped up his own application of a heated oil.

"Oh. Right. I need to change the batfinches' water tonight."

"Come again?" Daxter asked.

Sig picked up a wide-toothed comb and shrugged. "Damas keeps an aviary. He's got- what are you up to now, seven different species in there?"

"Ten, actually," Damas corrected. "The tavus eggs finally hatched. I had to get a pair of rock hens in order to hatch them, though."

"Rock hens? From the mountains?" Daxter asked, wrinkling his nose, "What's a rock hen got to do with peafowl?"

Damas’s eyes lit up with the prospect of actually talking about his birds.

"Rock hens will brood over anything even vaguely egg shaped," he said.

With a click he began setting his crown piercings back into their ports, gesturing now and then as he did.

"The incubators were hatching the peafowl eggs, but without other galliformes, the tavus chicks weren't surviving."

"You got them foster-moms," Daxter guessed, "Right?"

"I did!" Damas smiled. "They're doing quite well, so far."

Daxter stretched up over Jak's shoulder with a serious look. "We're gonna go see those birds, right?"

"After the flut-flut thing?" Jak teased him.

"They're already hatched! I don't gotta worry about gettin' mistaken for anybody's Ma this time!" Daxter argued. "Besides, I'm only goin' for you."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, mister "I'm just good with animals"!"

Jak wasn't sure yet. Going to this guy's aviary -- which he talked about with the same enthusiasm Jak used to feel about his bug collection -- felt like it would lead the man to start acting more buddy-buddy with him. Jak wasn't interested in that. He wanted his little brother back, and then maybe they could talk boundaries. But...there were baby animals. And...

He really liked baby animals.

They didn't shy away from him, even when he was in his dark form. If it weren't for animals like the city yakkows and the crocadog, Jak would probably have believed what everyone said about his dark side being some kind of mindless animal.

"Hhh. Okay. We can see the tavus chicks," he agreed, rolling his eyes.

Damas looked so pleased that whatever was left of his intimidating image dropped and shattered on the floor.

If he could find something in common with this boy -- something other than their mutual protectiveness over Mar; a boy his age had no business being made a parental figure to his sibling -- then perhaps they could start over on a better foundation than "I thought you were in danger so I had you kidnapped from Haven City". Even if that had definitely been the right call at the time.

Reader is secretly married to Lando, and she starts using his sim, she misses him and she wants to feel closer and also really wants to learn (even if she is not ready to admit that she always had a thing for learning how it would feel to be in an actual f1 car). She creates a profile for herself for fun: Mrs Norris (which of course no one thinks it’s actually her). She becomes so good at it that she ends up beating the whole grid one time, and everyone is just wondering who the hell is this person…

👀👀👀👀

Very unrealistic, but well… 😂😂😂😂

Mrs Norris (Oneshot)

Lando Norris x Verstappen!Reader

Summary — It was only supposed to be a bit of fun, but really, what did she expect? Her surname might be Norris now, but she was born a Verstappen.

Notes — This was so fun!!!!!! Em, I will never not appreciate your cute ideas.

Lando had been gone for exactly twelve hours when she caved.

It wasn’t boredom—the Verstappen family didn’t do boredom. Her schedule was packed with gym sessions, influencer brunches, and brand events she had no real desire to attend.

But the apartment felt off without him. Too quiet. Too tidy.

And the sim rig—God, it just sat there. Smug. Taunting. Like it knew she’d eventually give in to its silent, high-tech seduction.

She told herself it was just curiosity. Racing was in her blood, even if she’d had zero interest as a kid. She used to stage silent protests just to get out of karting, sulking until her dad finally let her quit and focus on gymnastics instead.

Still, one harmless session wouldn’t hurt, right?

Just a few laps around Silverstone. Just something to do before bed.

Two hours later, she was red-faced, sweaty, and yelling at an AI Williams for brake-checking her into Turn 1.

She was terrible. Hilariously, painfully terrible.

But she was hooked.

—

By day three, she was watching tutorials, scribbling notes, and fine-tuning the seat and wheel setup like her life depended on it.

She texted Lando under the guise of checking in.

Hey handsome, you okay? Totally random, but what’s the best braking point for Eau Rouge?

He didn’t even question it—just sent a smug voice note with a full breakdown like she was a rookie on his team.

It made her want to destroy his time.

That night, she created a profile.

She debated using her real name, but that was a quick no. The username had to be anonymous… but also funny.

So she picked the most on-the-nose option possible.

@Mrs.Norris

It was meant to be a joke. A bit of fun. She never expected it to go anywhere.

She definitely didn’t expect to get good.

—

Two weeks in, she was holding her own in online lobbies. Four weeks in, she was winning. All of them.

Six weeks in, she entered a public charity sim race and beat George, Charles, and Alex.

The stream chat lost its collective mind.

Who TF is Mrs. Norris???

Actual alien pace.

Lando alt??

Plot twist: it’s Max Verstappen in disguise.

That last one made her laugh so hard she nearly fell out of the rig. The idea that they thought her brother was racing under her married name? Unhinged enough to make her cry.

Then came the text from Lando.

Lando:

Baby, are you using my sim under the username Mrs. Norris?

You:

Yep. And I beat them all.

Lando:

No. Shut up. You did not.

You:

Duh. I might be a Norris now, but I was born a Verstappen.

—

When he finally got home after the triple-header, he walked in to find her mid-race, cursing like a sailor, laser-focused, fire in her eyes.

He leaned against the doorway, arms crossed, smirking.

She crossed the finish line five seconds clear of second place.

Slowly, she removed the headset. Even slower, she turned to face him, cheeks flushed pink.

“Hi,” she said softly, suddenly shy.

He didn’t say anything.

Then he grinned.

“Mrs. Norris,” he drawled, walking over to kiss her forehead, “we are so screwed if this gets out.”

She smiled. “It won’t. They think I’m Max.”

He leaned in, voice low. “You beat my Silverstone time.”

“Your fault for sounding all smug about Eau Rouge.”

He kissed her properly then, holding her like he hadn’t seen her in months.

And neither of them mentioned the way his hands trembled slightly at the thought of her in a real F1 car.

Because if her dad ever found out?

He’d have her in one tomorrow.

ᡣ𐭩 a/n : im still ctfu at the fact they had carlos at fucking home depot 😭 bro was regretting his life choices in that moment deadass...

ʚ・max verstappen

you warned max. repeatedly.

“my family’s loud,” you said. “they ask personal questions. they hug. a lot.”

and max, ever the picture of calm, just nodded and said, “it’s fine. i’m fine.”

he was not fine.

not when your aunt opened the door mid-sentence about how “finally, this one brought home someone decent-looking.”

not when your cousin asked him five minutes in, “so how much do you really make?” followed by, “can i sit in the car?”

and definitely not when your grandmother cornered him in the kitchen and asked, “do you believe in marriage?”

you found him on the patio, clutching a glass of water like it was holding him together. he looked at you with wide, desperate eyes.

“are they always like this?” he whispered.

you fought a grin. “it’s not personal. that’s just how they love.”

“i think your uncle’s trying to set me up with your mom.”

you laughed and reached for his hand. “you’re doing great.”

“your dad just asked me if i’m ‘emotionally stable.’ i think i failed that one.”

you squeezed his hand. “you’re fine. my dad asks everyone that.”

he sighed, finally relaxing a little. “okay. okay. i just… i didn’t expect the aunties to ask when we’re having kids before i even got through dessert.”

“oh, they will be asking that until the end of time,” you said with a smile. “you’ll get used to it.”

he looked at you, really looked at you, then nodded. “worth it,” he muttered, pulling you closer. “barely survived, but… worth it.”

you rested your head on his shoulder. “you sure?”

“yeah.” he smirked. “just maybe don’t leave me alone with your grandma again. she’s terrifying.”

“she’s 4’11”.”

“and somehow scarier than my father.”

you laughed into his neck. he pressed a soft kiss to your hair and added, “next time i’m bringing dutch snacks. bribe tactic.”

smart man.

ʚ・lewis hamilton

lewis showed up to your parents’ house holding a neatly wrapped container of homemade banana bread and the kind of bouquet that made every woman in the room pause. he greeted your mom with a warm “hi, ma’am,” and your dad with a firm handshake and a perfectly timed “sir, it’s great to finally meet you.”

basically? he was ready.

and yet… you could still tell he was a little nervous.

you caught him straightening his sleeves and glancing your way when your dad started asking him about “career plans” and “future intentions.”

“so… do you ever plan to slow down?” your dad asked over dinner, raising his eyebrow slightly.

lewis smiled, totally composed on the surface. “i think when you find something that makes the fast pace worth it… slowing down becomes part of the dream.”

your dad paused. your mom swooned. you kicked lewis under the table.

later, you found him in the kitchen helping your mom do dishes — sleeves rolled up, casually chatting about travel and vegan recipes while drying plates like he lived there.

you leaned on the counter beside him, smirking. “so… you good?”

he glanced at you, voice low. “your dad’s got that i’ll bury you in the backyard vibe.”

you laughed. “he does.”

“he asked if i knew how to fix a leaky sink.”

“you don’t.”

“i said yes.”

you blinked. “you lied to my dad?”

he grinned. “no. i’ll youtube it later. if he tests me, i’m passing.”

you stared at him, speechless.

he leaned in and kissed your cheek. “i told you — i came prepared.”

that night, when you finally got a moment alone, he wrapped his arms around you and whispered, “they’re lovely. you’re lovely. i’d do it again.”

you looked up at him. “even the interrogation?”

he smirked. “especially that part. made me realize just how serious i am about you.”

you kissed him slowly, smiling against his lips. “my mom’s already planning a second dinner. just so you know.”

“cool,” he whispered. “i’ll bring more banana bread.”

ʚ・george russell

george showed up early. like… twenty minutes early. dressed in a collared shirt that made your aunt whisper “he’s posh” and holding a bottle of wine that cost way more than necessary.

“be cool,” you whispered as you opened the door.

“i am cool,” he said through a smile that was clearly three seconds from cracking.

inside, it began.

your dad sized him up with a handshake that lingered just long enough to be a test. george passed with a polite smile and a crisp “sir.” your mom offered tea and he accepted it with a “thank you, ma’am” like he’d been trained by royalty.

you watched him like a hawk as dinner started. he complimented the food (twice). asked your grandmother about her garden. said things like “actually, i read something about that recently” to your uncle’s conspiracy theories.

but you could feel the tension in his shoulders every time someone said “so tell us about formula 1.”

by the time dessert hit the table, he leaned over to you and whispered, “i don’t think i’ve blinked since we arrived.”

you giggled, squeezing his knee. “you’re doing amazing.”

he gave you a dry look. “your grandfather just asked if i know how to use a shovel. what does that mean?”

“it means he likes you.”

george blinked. “i’m terrified.”

after dinner, your dad pulled him aside. you watched from the kitchen, heart thumping, as they stood on the back porch talking. george nodded. smiled. laughed once — nervously. you bit into your lip.

ten minutes later, he walked back in and said casually, “your dad invited me golfing next weekend.”

your jaw dropped. “he what?”

george looked proud, smug even. “told you i was cool.”

you snorted, pulling him into a hug. “you over-prepared for this, didn’t you?”

“i rehearsed answers on the plane.”

you laughed. “you’re ridiculous.”

“and you’re worth it,” he said simply, kissing your temple.

that night, when your mom whispered, “we really like him,” you just grinned and said, “yeah. me too.”

ʚ・carlos sainz

carlos was already charming before he even said a word — all polite smiles and “thank you for having me” as he handed your mom flowers and shook your dad’s hand with that practiced ease. but the moment he opened his mouth with a soft, “hola, mucho gusto,” the entire room changed.

your aunt leaned across the table. “did he just say ‘moo-cho goost-oh’? that’s beautiful.”

you blinked. “he said ‘nice to meet you.’”

“still.”

carlos shot you a look that said, what’s happening, and you just gave him a helpless smile.

the questions started flowing over dinner — about spain, about racing, about how you met. carlos answered each one with that smooth, careful english he used in interviews, his accent thick enough to make your cousins nudge each other every time he said something as basic as “pasta.”

but then your mom asked, sweet and innocent, “can you say something to us in spanish?”

carlos paused. “like… what?”

“anything!” your aunt chirped. “it just sounds so… passionate!”

you nearly choked on your water. carlos blinked once, then raised an eyebrow and said, voice low and syrupy, “esta cena está deliciosa. gracias por prepararla.”

your aunt gasped.

your mom blushed.

your uncle muttered, “i gotta learn a new language.”

carlos sat there, looking like he wanted the ground to swallow him.

later, when you pulled him aside in the kitchen while your family was still swooning, he leaned into your ear and whispered, “they think i’m some kind of telenovela star.”

you snorted, trying not to laugh. “that’s what you get for having a sexy voice.”

“i said dinner was good,” he hissed.

“and you could’ve said it in english.”

“they asked!”

you leaned up and kissed his cheek. “welcome to my family.”

he sighed, but smiled, hands resting on your hips. “i like them.”

“they love you.”

he grinned. “yeah, well… tell your aunt i’m taken.”

ʚ・charles leclerc

charles fidgeted the entire car ride there. fixing the sleeve of his sweater. checking if the wine bottle was still wrapped right. asking if he should’ve shaved more closely even though he looked perfect.

you reached across the console and squeezed his hand. “you’re gonna be fine.”

“i just want them to like me,” he said softly, glancing over at you with those too-honest eyes. “not as ‘charles leclerc,’ just… as me.”

“they will,” you said. “because you’re exactly what i hoped they’d see me with.”

the second you walked in, your family swarmed, not in a bad way, but in that loving, slightly overwhelming way that made charles laugh nervously and tighten his grip on your hand.

he greeted everyone politely, warmly, his accent curling gently around every word. when your dad reached for a handshake, charles brought a second hand up to cup it, respectful. present. real.

dinner started slow. questions flew... racing, monaco, “is ferrari really like the movies?” and charles answered all of them humbly, brushing past the fame and turning everything into a story about his teammates, his brothers, or you.

“you must be under a lot of pressure all the time,” your mom said gently, passing him a serving spoon.

he nodded, smile soft. “sometimes, yes. but being around her makes it quieter.”

you kicked him lightly under the table. he winked at you.

after dinner, you found him in the living room — sitting beside your dad, deep in conversation. they weren’t talking racing. they were talking about piano.

“i used to play, too,” your dad said. “nothing like you, of course.”

“i bet you were good,” charles said. “do you still play?”

your dad smiled. “not in a long time.”

charles nodded, thoughtful. “you should. music… it’s like breathing when the rest is too loud.”

you watched your dad nod, quieter now, eyes warmer.

later, walking to the car, charles exhaled like he’d been holding his breath all evening. “so?”

“they love you,” you said.

he blinked. “really?”

you wrapped your arm around his. “really.”

he let out a soft laugh, head tilted slightly as he looked down at you.

“i’m glad. because i think about doing this a lot. showing up. meeting the people that made you… you.”

and he said it so simply, so sincerely, that you stopped in your tracks and kissed him right there.

just him. not charles leclerc, the driver.

just your charles.

ʚ・lando norris

“stop adjusting your hoodie. you look fine.”

“i’m not adjusting it. i’m…should i have worn this?”

you smirked as lando ran a hand through his hair for the fifth time in the last two minutes. “you race literal cars for a living and this is what’s got you sweating?”

he shot you a look. “i can’t crash in front of your mum, can i?”

you rang the doorbell and he visibly tensed. “babe, i swear to god, if your dad pulls out the dad-jokes or the shovel metaphors…”

you just grinned. “too late.”

he did surprisingly well at first, polite hellos, a slightly-too-firm handshake with your dad, handing your mom flowers with an “i googled what mums like, is this okay?” that made her instantly adore him.

then your little cousin asked, “are you famous?” and everything started unraveling.

lando laughed nervously. “uh. no. i mean. some people think so. but i’m just lando. not that cool.”

“is he always like this?” your cousin whispered not-so-quietly, and lando turned bright red.

you pulled him into the kitchen under the pretense of “helping with drinks.”

“they’re judging me,” he hissed.

“they’re watching you,” you corrected. “it’s different.”

“i made a joke about tires and your uncle asked if i think i’m top gear. i don’t even know what i meant.”

you giggled, handing him a tray of cups. “just be yourself.”

“okay, but myself just accidentally called your granddad boss man.”

you stared. “you what.”

“he looked powerful!”

he ended up winning everyone over, slowly but surely, making the kids laugh with stories from karting, helping your mom carry in dessert while balancing a tiny dog in one arm, and nodding along with whatever your dad was saying even though you knew he didn’t understand half of it.

later, as you sat together on the couch, your cousin whispered to you again, “he’s kinda weird.”

you smiled, watching lando lean his head on your shoulder, eyes already drooping. “yeah,” you said. “he really is.”

then: “but he’s our weird.”

lando blinked up at you, dazed. “was that good or bad?”

you kissed his forehead. “you passed. barely.”

he grinned. “i’ll take it.”

ʚ・oscar piastri

oscar was calm the entire way to your parents’ house. calm like it was a race day morning. smooth posture, clean shirt, holding a bottle of wine like he rehearsed it.

“you good?” you asked.

“yeah,” he said. “just… mentally preparing for polite interrogation.”

the door opened before you could answer and your mom greeted him like she’d already decided to adopt him.

oscar offered the wine with a soft smile. “thank you for having me. it’s really nice to meet you.”

polite. perfect. predictable.

for the first thirty minutes, he was quiet and courteous. said all the right things. yes sir. no ma’am. thank you. that’s lovely. you watched your family size him up like he was made of glass.

then your uncle tried to make a dad joke.

and oscar just… blinked. “i think i lost brain cells hearing that.”

the whole table froze.

oscar took a bite of salad like he hadn’t just murdered a grown man’s punchline in cold blood.

your dad laughed first. then everyone followed.

you stared at him.

oscar glanced at you and said under his breath, “you warned me about questions. you didn’t warn me about that.”

from then on, it was like your family unlocked a new version of him. still calm, still respectful, but sharper now. teasing replies. dry sarcasm. perfectly timed reactions. he was roasting your cousin gently and complimenting your grandma’s cooking in the same sentence.

later, as dessert was being passed around, your mom leaned toward you and whispered, “he’s quiet, but he’s funny. like sneaky funny.”

you just smiled. “he does that.”

after dinner, your dad pulled him aside to talk. you watched from the kitchen as they stood on the porch, oscar nodding thoughtfully while your dad talked animatedly about something you could not make out.

when he came back in, you raised an eyebrow. “what did he say?”

oscar smirked. “he said if i ever mess up, you know where he keeps the shovel.”

your eyes widened. “you took that well.”

“i told him i know how to drive fast and disappear.”

you blinked.

he shrugged, then leaned in close. “relax. i smiled when i said it.”

and you knew, then and there, that your dad was probably already planning to invite him back.
