Hi, Esi!
I just read the tags of your omegaverse reblog and I'm really 👀 thinking about maxiel and sounds. Who's the omega? Daniel or Max? And I'd like to know if you have any idea about them crooning when the other one is stressed or feeling bad kkfheiahgiwhs It seems something so sweet!!!!
Hello friend!!!
This is in reference to this post and my tags and I haven't had the occasion to properly brainstorm about it yet but !!!
This could change if i actually write this (maybe i could even switch it up for different sounds? who knows what the inspiration will bring) but I am partial to omega Max.
I think Daniel doesn't really care about being an alpha. His parents raised him to think everyone is important as a person first and their secondary gender is just that: secondary. But he still has alpha instincts, especially when he is in the paddock, surrounded by so many other alphas, when the emotions of the weekend run high. There have been times when he has growled at someone and times when he had to retreat to his own driver room to not get too aggressive with someone else.
He is more susceptible to those feelings (the aggressive posturing ones) than the protective ones, but those still exist.
And then Max happens. Max, who people thought was an alpha for the longest time because of the way he drove, the way he held himself, and the way Jos interacted with him. Max who is just a kid, and an omega. One day after a bad qualifying, Daniel gets back into his driver room and finds him all curled up in a corner, purring to self soothe.
Daniel takes a second to just. process. Because Max is clearly upset and came to him, to his driver room, permeated by his alpha smell, to feel better. He doesn't know what to say, but when he steps closer, Max flinches and whines and Daniel instincts take over and he croons a little. And Max settles. Lets him come closer until Daniel can tug him up on the little couch with him to tuck him under his arm, still crooning softly. Max hides his face against Daniel's side until he comes back to himself.
He is a little embarrassed afterwards, but Daniel tells him it was nice and to always come find him if he needs to.
And Max does. Not much, he's very independent and hates being seen as a weak omega, a combination of his personality and his upbringing, but sometimes when he is overwhelmed he hides in Daniel's room. Sometimes steals a hoodie. Even when things get rough around 2018, he still turns up, maybe even more than before.
And then Daniel leaves, and Max stops looking for him.
Daniel's alpha side feels bad for a while, feels like he's abandoning his omega, but Max isn't his omega, and Max doesn't come to him and they move on.
Until 2021 when Max starts really feeling the pressure of the championship battle and one day (maybe some time after silverstone?) Daniel comes back from a debrief and finds him curled up with a hoodie held close to his chest, half asleep and purring like crazy, and he feels so happy to see him that for a second he doesn't even know what to do.
They end up cuddling and it feels like old times, even if Max doesn't really fit under his arm anymore and his smell has changed a little, more settled and mature now, and Daniel croons and scents him until Max starts purring out of contentment instead.
