Chapter Text
Two days after their first call
Oscar was buzzing like crazy so happy he got his friend back now more than ever. He hoped he could gain the confidence over these days to tell Lando how he really felt. He wanted to be way more than friends but Oscar was worried Lando may not feel the same and he would ruin their friendship once again.
Either way Oscar would have to push those thoughts away seeing as he had a full day ahead of him. That day he was asked to head down to the location sent because he had some new merch dropping soon and had to get some promo photos for it. Lando teased him saying even if he was on break he isn’t escaping pr work.
Oscar was a couple hours into the shoot, the pieces looked nice. Though he never really liked anything pr related but alas it was apart of his job. After he was free from the shoot he decided to take a small break and try something he never thought he would try.
He drove past the golf course many times before but never tried it like ever. He knew he would suck at it also if he was being frank it never really interested him but last time he was on call with Lando the other night and Lando wouldn’t stop talking about golf. If Oscar was being honest, he was starting to fall asleep but Lando enjoyed it and enjoyed talking about it so Oscar didn’t mind if it made Lando happy.
Either way Lando recommended this course for beginners and Oscar thought it would be some good posts for his page and to get his PR manager off his back. He saw the way she was looking at him during the shoot, the look said everything he needed to know like she was telepathically yelling at him to get some type of post on his page. At this point she wouldn’t even care if it was a blurry photo of a sunset, just anything. So Oscar thought he would get two tasks off in one. Get some content to post and try a new sport, mostly for Lando but he didn’t need to know that.
Oscar hired a small area for a short while and asked to rent some clubs. Once he reached the area he rented out he tried and failed so miserably at this entire thing. He was so close to giving up feeling stupid but then he realised he could just call a pro about it. A pro who definitely won’t shut up about the sport and clearly knows what he’s talking about.
The FaceTime rang three times then four and on the fifth ring Lando answered.
Lando’s face filled the screen and it looked like he was still asleep. “Oh shit did I wake you? Sorry!” Oscar started, almost bursting out in laughter at the fact it was 2pm and he was still asleep.
“Oi I have you know I was doing some very important things last night. God forbid a man decides to catch a lie-in before the day!!” Lando stated with utmost seriousness.
“Okay sure Lan get your beauty rest I shall call you later” Oscar replied trying so hard not to laugh at Lando’s seriousness.
“No wait Osc, you don’t call for nothing like ever!” Lando started confused why Oscar would call him during the day “what’d you need?”
“Oh nothing, just thought I’d try something new and needed advice from a pro. From what I hear you are a pro at this type of stuff!” Oscar started.
Lando’s face was so confused about what Oscar could possibly mean by that. As Oscar flipped the camera Lando went silent for a minute before opening his mouth and a sound (very screech like) escaped.
“OSC OH MY GOD! YOU’RE AT GOLF COURSE?!” Any fatigue Lando felt was gone within seconds.
Lando continued before Oscar could say anything “Like the Oscar ‘I hate golf so much’ Piastri is at a golf course I recommend might I add! Is today my birthday?” He was gloating now about how he got Oscar to go to a golf course.
“Oh now I am sad. I am not there with you! How dare you Osc why would you go without me I am miles away! Ughhh” Lando was pouting at that fact.
Oscar couldn’t hold his laughter any longer. The way Lando jumped from his sleep and now is pouty due to the fact he isn’t here made him laugh so hard he started crying.
Lando missed hearing his laugh and Oscar missed being this happy with Lando. They both missed each other more than they thought and they were glad to see each other like this again.
“Ah don’t worry Lan we can go golfing together once you're back home.” Oscar felt his chest tighten while saying home. He was trying to gain more confidence to ask Lando to be his lan. He smiled while he was lost in thought.
“Earth to Piastri come one I need to talk you through getting your first hole in one” Lando’s voice brought Oscar back to where he was.
Oscar propped his phone on a metal pole on the floor making sure the angle is perfect so Lando can see. “See my osc perfecting the angle for me what an angel.” Oscar halted hearing ‘my’ and quickly regained himself to speak “Ah well if I am going to get critiqued for my form I might as well perfect the angle so you can see.”
After 2 hours of absolute chaos Oscar was tired out and Lando was all giggles. To sum up the entire game all Lando was doing was taking the piss out of Oscar’s form.
“Well I am glad I managed to give you a comedy performance.” Oscar huffed out. Tired and exhausted from golf
“Yup you did perfectly, I had a free show.” Lando was grinning ear to ear as he continued on “I mean if you listened to me maybe you would’ve actually been good! Just a suggestion though!” Lando recounted happily
“Yeah, maybe you should’ve been here to help, no?” Oscar raised an eyebrow with a small grin and Lando’s ears went pink and suddenly his voice caught in his throat. A small sound escaped Lando and Oscar was in a fit of giggles again.
That evening.
It was half past 7 when Oscar was scrolling his phone again. He got home around 3pm after taking a much needed lunch break after golf.
He took a shower and was now sitting in his lounge, a soft glow from his phone screen lighting his face as he scrolled through his camera roll looking at what photos would be appropriate to post.
This time he didn’t consult with his PR manager because he knew anything he posted, within reason, would be perfect for her because normally she has to remind him to post.
After opening instagram and getting all his pictures ready he decided on a caption to put on his post. He quickly decided and typed it up.
‘Any tips @Lando?’
Oscar quickly added a song before he lost the confidence to post. Once he hit the post button, there was no turning back like at all. Oscar chucked his phone across the sofa and dragged a hand over his face. Why did he even try doing that? Well no good sulking now because his phone notifications were going off.
Lando’s POV
Lando was laying on the sofa in the communal lounge surrounded by his mates. He wasn’t paying attention to Max who was avidly arguing with their other mate over FIFA.
Gasp “OH MY GOD?!”
@Oscaspiastri mentioned you in a post.
Lando screamed out a tad over the top as everyone turned to look at him and he smiled slightly, turning back to his phone.
“So who’s funeral are we planning?” Max joked as Lando jabbed at his arm.
“No one’s I just got a mention on insta.” Lando said, trying to sound casual as he looked at the post smiling now.
“Mate don’t even pull that bullshit. You get mentioned in about 50 posts a day?! And this, this post specifically has you this dramatic and smiley?” Max replied and Lando was right he had no excuse because he does get mentioned in many posts most by fans and the McLaren team page.
“It’s just Osc he tagged me in his post.” He said trying his hardest not to sound too excited about it.
“Ah right yeah I forgot you call him Osc and what’s so special about this post eh?” Max enquired now, sounding very curious.
“No reason um well I am going to go out by the pool for a tad see ya later and let me know who’s wins I have a tenner on Max!” Lando quickly dashed off to the back door where the villa had a wide pool.
Max looked around the room with his mates and then looked at where Lando was sat next to him and just shrugged but now determined to win the tenner Lando betted in him.
Lando was in the pool, his top half dry as he had his phone propped on the edge so as to not get his phone wet. He went to Oscar’s contact and hit call. Lando wanted to confess how he actually felt and maybe now he could finally do that now. A couple rings later and Oscar’s face filled the screen.
“Hey Lan, how are you?” Oscar was grinning.
“Hey Osc I am well and you? Hope you feel better after golf but don’t forget I am still to beat you when I get back!” Lando teased
“Ah yeah as if I ever want to step foot at a golf course ever again I’ll just watch you” Oscar smiled warmly but knowing Lando would definitely find some way to get him to play.
“Well we shall see ‘bout that won’t we?” Lando grinned as he continued “I saw your post on insta.” Lando tried to sound casual.
“Did you like it? I didn't know if I did the right thing by tagging you. I am sorry if I did.” Oscar sounded worried.
“No Osc it was really great and about that.” He paused ‘Lando you have to do it just say it’ he thought to himself "Would you like to come to Greece with me?” Lando blurted out. He shocked himself with that one.
“Um Lan I mean if you want me there sure I wouldn’t mind.” Oscar said, taken aback by Lando’s request.
“Yes! I would love you here! Pack a bag I’ll get you a ticket and I’ll meet you at the airport tomorrow?” Lando said enthusiastically.
“Yup perfect I guess I shall go pack then see you tomorrow lan.” Oscar said before cutting the phone.
“Yeah bye… GOD WHAT IS WRONG ME ME UGHH!” Lando groaned, dropping his phone and submerging himself in the pool water.
After he dried off he walked back into the villa making a b-line to his room before he quickly paused to speak “oh by the way Oscar’s on his way! Enjoy FIFA.” And with that Lando ran straight to the stairs and into his room.
Max dropped his controller on the sofa beside him and ran after Lando after hearing that. Max walked into Lando’s room without announcing himself.
“Yo Max what the fuck! What if I was naked?” Lando retorted as he saw Max.
“Mate I have been your best friend for years. I don't care. What do you mean by ‘Oscar’s on his way’?” Max questioned.
Lando huffed and explained everything that has happened since Hungary to now. In grave detail as Max just listened. Lando loved that about Max whenever he needed Max to listen he was there for him. He was the first person Lando came out to and til this day is the first person he tells things to.
“Ah no wonder you were a pissy pants at the start of our trip.” Max teased as Lando pushed his shoulder.
“Seriously all I wanted to do was confess how I fell and now he’s coming to Greece. Gosh I am pathetic.” Lando huffed out and Max gave him a hug.
“Not pathetic, just thick sometimes and Lando you never know what if you both feel the same about each other this will help let those feelings out.” Max smiled; he enjoyed feeling wise and all knowing.
Lando huffed a small yeah maybe your right left as he picked his phone to get Oscar’s ticket. After he sent Oscar the confirmation email and his online boarding ticket he locked his phone and laid down. He has a long day ahead of him. After Max made sure he was okay he said “Aye you owe me a tenner now mate cough up.” And Lando did exactly that, coughed up a tenner from his wallet and passed it to Max “god your jarring I hope you know.” Lando said. “Yeah I know but still your best mate so you're stuck with me!” Max chirped as he skipped out of Lando’s room.
The next afternoon.
Oscar just landed in Greece grabbing his bag off the turn table in the airport and made it to the main airport area. He spotted Lando quickly. He was more tan and in loose linen clothing he looked hot Oscar thought but pushed that thought away as Lando gave him a hug.
“Glad you could make it, Osc! I am really excited to show you Greece tonight.” Lando recounted his recent activities in Greece as he took Oscar’s bag and entered the driver's seat of his McLaren 756LT that he rented for this holiday.
Lando was speeding as he slightly drifting on the corners of the hill that the Villa they were at was on. The gates opened automatically and Lando turned the engine off.
He showed Oscar his room, conveniently next to his own, and let him settle in.
It reached dusk as Max and their other mates left for town. Max wanted Lando and Oscar to have some alone time together to hopefully work out their feelings and then he would get bragging rights for the rest of his and Lando’s life.
“Right we are gone you two don’t mess the house up too much.” Max said, raising an eyebrow at Lando and grinning.
“Mate we are also going into town to stop being a dick and just leave.” Lando replied with an almost warning tone compared to Max’s playful tone.
As Max left, Lando turned to Oscar and apologised for Max’s stupidity. Shortly they both left and were back in the car again.
“Mate if you keep on going this fast I don’t think we will survive to see tomorrow.” Oscar jested as Lando sped up a bit.
“Come on Osc live a little and plus I am a great driver I have a wdc to prove it.” Lando replied, teasing Oscar back then realising what he said.
By the time he turned to look Oscar was just giggling and that’s when Lando drowned everything out and realised tonight will be the night.
They reached the restaurant and took a table for two on the deck outside that overlooked the beach.
Oscar and Lando sat for two hours joking, laughing and having the time of their life. They both missed this they way they joke so easily. At one point Lando dropped his glass after laughing too much and they both went to pick it up at the same time hands softly grazing each other’s fingers and then looking at each other. Lando was taken by Oscar’s deep brown eyes and Oscar was taken by Lando’s grey blue eyes. They sat there for a moment, just looking at each other.
A few feet away stood their waitress chatting with another waiter before she said “Gosh look at that couple. I need to find myself a partner that is mesmerised by me like that man is mesmerised by his boyfriend.” They laugh a bit after that to only then realise how cute they looked with each other.
Once it was time for the bill the waitress came back to their table but Lando had stood to go to the toilet. Oscar didn’t mind paying and he pulled out his card before the waitress gave his card back she said “Your boyfriend is a very lucky man to have you pay for this quite large tab.” They racked up a large bill and then Lando convinced Oscar to get dessert with him. After she said that she gave Oscar’s card back and he shocked himself because he didn’t even correct her just smiled warmly as Lando came back.
After they left and Lando whined a bit that Oscar paid when I was the one who dragged Oscar to Greece with him they ended up on the beach.
It was fairly empty now that it was night and the stars were shining. Lando gave himself a small pep talk in his mind and went to take Oscar’s hand. Oscar looked as he felt Lando grab his hand and he just smiled at Lando.
They decided to take a small sit down on the sand after walking the coast a bit. Lando was looking at the water with the stars above glistening down on the sea but Oscar was looking at Lando.
“What? Do I have something on my face?” Lando asked innocently but before he could ask again Oscar cut him off.
“I always wanted to do this.” Oscar said as he looked at Lando. Cupping his free hand on Lando’s cheek leaving his other hand intertwined with Lando’s. This kiss came soft and delicate as it deepened. They let go of each other's hand and Lando had both his hands in Oscar’s hair slowly kissing him back as Oscar hand both his hands cupped around Lando’s cheeks.
They stopped for air and let their foreheads rest on one another’s. Lando could feel Oscar’s breath and thought this was everything he wanted.
“I was waiting for you to do that.” Lando said with a small grin.
“Oh yeah, were you?” Oscar asked with a soft and calming tone.
Lando nodded proudly and Oscar huffed a laugh. They sat there for a minute taking in each other's presence. Lando grinned before saying “I am glad you came.” And all Oscar could do was nod in agreement.
Oscar asked the question he had been waiting to ask ever since he met Lando.
“Lando, will you be my boyfriend?” Oscar asked patiently waiting for an answer.
“Is that even a question? Of course I will be you numpty.” Lando laughed at the question but it meant Lando’s whole world.
Once they reached the villa no one had come home yet so they had the villa to themselves.
The next morning.
Lando woke up to see Oscar just looking at him. He was blushing so hard at the site of his Osc lying in bed just looking at him. Oscar was kissing his jaw softly. Light was softly spilling into their room.
After 10 minutes of them just being entangled within each other Max just barged in as normal.
“Hey Lando, breakfast is ready and get ready. We all want to go on the yacht together.” Max paused at the sight and just laughed “Ha hey Oscar! Enjoying yourselves are you?” Max was laughing so hard now.
“Hey max we sure are. Aren’t we love?” Oscar replied, grinning as he looked at Lando’s bright red face.
“God Max get out what the fuck did I say you dick!” Lando screeched, god this was so embarrassing.
“Alright calm down I am gone but both you get ready we wanna be gone by 11am!” Max was ecstatic as he left before yelling to one of their mates ‘Oi you owe me forty quid mate’ They made bets on if Lando would actually let his feelings be known.
They stayed for a couple more minutes entangled in each other. This was paradise for sure.
Lando finally has and he couldn’t be happier.
What a life.
