No thoughts tonight, but holding Levi tight when he had a bad day.
It was unusual that he got defeated by a bad day. Levi had it rough growing up and it made him tough. But some times, when he returned to the safe home you built together, Levi broke down.
And today was one of those days. Levi's face was long. His eyebags looked extra heavy and dark. His shoulders seemed too heavy for his spine to lift. You immediately went to your husband. You pulled his jacket from his lanky arms and draped it on the coat rack.
Levi signed heavily. His fingers worked through the bottons of his shirt. As soon as he peeled his shirt off, you could see the red mark of harness on his skin. You led him into the bathroom and undressed him. You sat him on a stool and went to grab some hot water from the kettle.
Quietly, you washed Levi with a cloth. You knew he was too tired to speak and you wouldn't ask a thing until he was ready to share. You dried Levi with a clean towel and helped him up. You made your way into the bedroom together, and waiting for you was the clean pyjamas you pulled from the closet earlier.
After Levi dressed himself, he sat by the bed. You came back after checking the doors and windows were locked just to find him where you left him. You knew he needed some privacy.
So you climbed behind him and wrapped your arms around his chest. You leaned your cheek on his back, pressing your chest onto his skin, letting him feel your heartbeat. Slowly, Levi started to shake and soft weeps escaped his lips. You held him tighter, kissing his back to ensure him that things will get better.
Levi's soft weeps turned into loud cries. Fat tears dripped from his chin onto your arms. You rubbed his chest to comfort him. After what felt like hours, he finally turned around, allowing you to pull him into your embrace.
You held him close, resting your chin on his head, ruubing his back and shoulder as he cried into your chest. It shattered your heart to see him broken like this. The man you loved being broken by this ugly world, but he always tried him very best to make it better.
You held him and held him and held him until he was dozing off. You laid him down gently and pulled the sheets over his shoulders. You left a kiss on his forehead, and protected your broken angel in your arms while he slept through the night.

A/N: taglist open! also, i wrote most of this at midnight, so please do let me know if i made any mistakes!
“And that's Y/N out!”
“Y/N crashed! Will she ever recover?”
“And the dutch Lamborghini driver is out!”“OH! That must've hurt! L/N is out!”
It hurt hearing those messages, seeing the yellow and red flags around the track, it hurt seeing her so upset.
She won't talk to me, she won't talk to Logan.. It's just been radio silence..
“Lando! Are you coming or not? I can't do this on my own.” I look up, Logans shouting pulling me out of whatever headspace I was in.
I nod and quickly get up from the bench I was on.
“Are we really kicking the door in? It's a hotel, we can just go down to the reception..” I grimace at the thought of what the team and hotel managers will have to say about us kicking down Y/N’s door…
“We'll pay for it, it's just a damn door. And Y/N is more important than that right? She let the comments get to her! Have you not seen the comments?-” “I’ve seen the damn comments! I have not seen Y/N! But that doesn't mean I'll just break down her hotel door!” Logan notices my obvious frustration and nods.
“Fine, we'll go get a room key..” He mutters and turns promptly around to the elevator.
For a moment I'm shocked he actually listened to me, so far, when it's about Y/N, he wouldn't listen to me. I know he's her teammate, but that doesn't stop me from being her best friend on the grid..
Best friend… a term I've grown to hate when it's about Y/N…
“This was your idea! Let's go or I'm actually kicking the door in!” Logan once again shakes me out of my daze and I quickly walk to the elevator.
“Coming.. Coming…” I mumble as I click the button to go to the lobby.
“She shut me out.. Only speaking to her engineer and no one else..” Logan whispers as I nod in response. “She shut me out too.. The comments were horrible, I can only imagine what dms she's received.. The car is made for her, yet she's fighting it with her life.. If she continues this she might actually lose her life..”
We both sigh as my words sink in.
When we arrive at the lobby, I rush to the reception and asks for a room key to Y/N’s room.
“Could we please hurry this up?” I try my best not to rush the receptionist, but I can't help it, Y/N is on the line here..
The receptionist nods and I feel a hand on my shoulder, turning around I see it's Logan, who looks at me with a worried expression.
I watch as his hand moves down to mine, prying my hand open.. Now I notice that I've been digging my nails into my palms, creating small wounds on them.
“Sorry.. Guess I'm stressed, we don't know what we'll find in her room…” I mutter as I take the room key from the receptionist's hand.
Logan nods silently as we walk back to the elevator.
The elevator ride was silent, the loudest sound would probably be my heels clacking against the elevator floor.
“She’ll be fine man..” Logan mutters, his voice sounding not too sure about himself.
I nod, trying to calm myself.
When we arrive at the room, I hesitated to put the key to the lock.
“Are you okay?” I nod, finally gaining the courage to grab the key and open the door.
“Y/N? Are you there?” Logan calls out.
“Y/N? Where-” I'm interrupted by a sob coming from the bathroom.
I look at Logan, who nods and we both hurry to the bathroom door.
“Y/N? It's us, Lando and Logan..” I lean against the door, listening to the sobs, my heart shattering with each one.
“Can you let us in? We can't help you if we're outside and you're inside the bathroom..” Logan also leans against the door, our bodies close to each other as we listened for any new sounds.
After a few minutes the door opens a little, Y/N emerging from the bathroom with mascara streaks on her beautiful face..
Logan opens his arms for her and she rushes into them. I lead Logan to the queen sized bed, where he lays Y/N down.
I run my hand through her tangled hair, even though it is still as soft as ever..
“They’ve never gotten to me this bad…. Never…” Y/N whispers into a pillow, it's nice to hear her voice again.
“I know…” I whisper, looking at Logan for a little help.
Logan lays down next to her, looking her in the eyes, his hand on her cheek.
The second Logan's hand touched her cheek, I felt something course through me..
I quickly lay down next to them as well.
“How are the injuries..?” I whisper a frown on my face as I watch the bandages on her arms.
“Fine… they don't hurt as much anymore..” She whispers back, making me smile. It's been so long since I've heard her voice…
Logan sighs as he gently touches her arm, and on accident a bandage, making her wince in pain. “They do hurt, don't they?” She nods, obviously feeling bad for lying.
“Love… let us help you..” I plead.
In the corner of my eye I can see Logan getting an idea..
“What if we made you forget about those messages?”
What..? Does he mean..? No.. he couldn't..
“We could go to the park, cuddle some dogs and cats, maybe even go out for dinner..” Logan smiles at Y/N.
That wasn't what i expected.. My face turns red, which Logan surely noticed.
To my surprise Y/N nods, making me and Logan smile widely.
---------------🏎️---------------
The next few days are filled with spending time with Y/N, each day her smile growing and growing.
Today was the last activity, going out to dinner.
I had dressed in my best suit and so did Logan.
But once we picked Y/N up I immediately felt underdressed. Her beautiful light blue dress fitting her form perfectly and not leaving much to the imagination…
Logan and I held our arms out at the same time, making Y/N giggle and take both of our arms!
I did my best not to show any jealousy, I really tried, but seeing Logan’s smug face just did it…
But i had to stay calm, this was for Y/N.. to make her feel better.
When we sit down at our table the usual boring conversations start, ‘how was your day?’ ‘What did you do?’ always the same..
This is for Y/N..
Some more talk about data and the next races..
This is for Y/N..
Logans hand on hers..
This is for Y/N..
Longing looks between the two..
This is for Y/N..
How long have they known each other? It seems longer than how long they've been teammates…
This is for Y/N..
“How long have you two known each other?” I didn't mean to ask the question, it just came out.
The two share another look and Logan replies, “Since her F3 days, we used to race together for a short while.”
Knew it.
“Race with or against each other?” they both chuckle, as nice as it is seeing Y/N laugh, i don't want her laughing about this…
“We were on the same team, so it's a nice familiar feeling that we're on the same team again.”
Y/N is my friend..
I smile and nod, hiding my hurt.
Why am I feeling hurt? I've known her for a few weeks at best.
Y/N is my friend..
I shouldn't feel these things for her, she's my friend!
“Are you okay Lando?” Y/N’s soft voice pulls me out of the haze i was in.
I nod, “I'm fine Y/N. ready to leave whenever you are.”
Y/N nods and finishes her dessert.
Y/N is my friend…
Y/N is my best friend even..
Y/N is my…
What is she?
