Embarrassingly enough I squeled "UY PILIPINS" when I saw the pairings before I even saw the comments😭

filipino!reader x alex albon fc: aiah arceta, lily muni he, others on pinterest smau & slight fic

during a solo trip to manila, alex tried to figure out the city by himself (which wasn't the easiest task ever...) lucky for him, he got a free, unofficial tour guide!

a/n: taglish au i've been ITCHING to make. translations included (not all are direct translations)! some jokes make more sense in tagalog 😭 filo f1 fans wya!!!!! (i would make this on tiktok but it's so hard to get views there)

day 2.

"Hi, excuse me, how much is it to get to..." It felt like a dream, hearing a British accent in the tricycle terminal near Legarda station.

"100 pesos, sir!" The tricycle driver said, cheerfully. 100?! That's unreasonable!

You could've ignored it, you could've walked away, things like this happen all the time. But you didn't.

"Uy, kanina pa kita hinahanap! Andito ka lang pala di ka tumawag." [Translation: Hey, I've been looking for you! You were just here this whole time and you didn't call.] You say, putting on a smile and the thickest filipino accent you could muster up.

Both the tricycle driver and him looked at you "Sorry, who..." He questions as you take him by the wrist, away from earshot of the tricycle driver.

"He was giving you an unreasonable price. 100 is too much, it's usually around 60 pesos." You explain, now realizing how absurd that experience must be for the guy. "I'm sorry, that was random. Wow this is embarrassing. Um, I'm Y/n. I guess. Bye!"

You were about to walk away when he laughed. "Well I should've known better than to ask for the price as a non-local. Thanks for helping me there. I'm Alex."

You both walk side by side, not sure exactly where you're both headed. "This might be a big favor but do you think you could show me around? It's my first time here and I'm just by myself." He asks, avoiding eye contact.

"What like a personal tour guide?" Wow, this man could easily be kidnapped.

"I guess...? Only if you want to, though! Not forcing."

"Deal, as long as I get paid by the hour." He thinks about it. Like actually considers it.

"50 euros an hour, how does that sound?" Euros?!?! Damn, this man is RICH rich.

"NO, I'M JOKING. I'll do it for free." You say even though the idea of getting paid that much doesn't sound so bad. "It's the least I could do for catching you off guard back there."

You spend the rest of the afternoon showing him around the area, eating, talking, meeting some fans in UST (he was apparently famous?), and eating again.

day 6.

It was Alex's last day before his flight at 2am. The past week has been entertaining to say the least.

You didn't know much about tourism but you brought him to all your favorite spots in the area. From the busiest streets, to the quietest museums, he went everywhere with you in this city. Something about him not being with you the next time you went there felt... off.

From that day in the tricycle terminal, you two just clicked perfectly. If Alex Albon could already become a semi-major part in your life in a span of 6 days, what more if he was with you for the rest of your life?

⎯

Alex arrives at your house and he was immediately greeted by your dog and little sister (not the same creature).

"Ate! Andito na si Kuya Alex!" Your sister calls out [ate = older sister; kuya = older brother] [translation: Y/n! Alex is here!"]

He brought a box of ensaymada from Mary Grace and placed it on the table for your mother, who was extremely grateful.

You were on the way down the stairs when you heard your sister talking to him. Her english was broken and he was trying his best to understand what she was trying to say, while he pet the dog who was now lying down on his lap.

You couldn't help but melt at the sight. He fits right in this home of yours.

Lunch flew by quickly. Your mother got to know Alex more and so did you. With every childhood story he shared, you felt more and more drawn to him than ever. Like you just wanted him to stay here forever.

He helped clean the dishes, much to your mother's dismay, and you cleaned the dining table.

This felt right. The two of you in one house, doing something homely of some sort. It made you feel complete. To Alex, it felt natural. Like this is what he was meant to be doing.

And then it was done. You wanted him to stay with you in this house for just a bit longer but that felt like you would be asking for too much.

⎯

The drive to the airport was dreadful. You were trying to delay him leaving as much as you could. Stopping when the light was only on yellow, passing by the route which had more traffic, not going over 60kph. It was painfully obvious you didn't want him to leave.

Yes, it was selfish. Especially because a week ago you didn't even know each other! And now you're praying that he misses his flight just so you can spend a bit more time together.

On the passenger seat was Alex, staring blankly at God knows what, occasionally looking over at you. Deep down he didn't want to leave yet. Maybe if you drove a tad bit slower he could "accidentally" miss his flight? Can he cancel his entire flight for you? Yes. Does he want to? Oh absolutely. The question is: will he?

You arrived at the airport right on time. This is it. You helped him unload his stuff, avoiding eye contact.

"So this is all your stuff?" You said, gesturing to the 3 bags in front of him.

He inhales. "Yeah, that's all."

None of you moved. He was supposed to walk inside the airport but he refused to move.

"So um... stay in touch?" He fidgets with the zipper of his luggage.

"I will. I'll miss going around with you."

"I'll miss you," He pauses then pulls out his wallet. He takes out a 100 euro bill and hands it to you. "Compensation for putting up with me for the past week."

You shake your head. "No, I refuse to take this."

"Take it, think of it as a tip instead of a real payment. Please, I insist."

"And I insist that you board your plane now."

"That's not how that works actually-"

"Well I don't know, I've never been on a plane!"

The time he had left to spend with you was almost up. You check the time then take out a 1000 peso bill. "Here. Although I'm a hundred percent sure the euro is worth way more."

He just smiles at you then walks away. You wanted to run after him but what a stupid move that would be for someone you met barely a week earlier.
