Find Comfort in Me

Summary:

“It’s something Daniel only does when he’s reached a certain point of exhaustion.” Seb starts and Lando looks at him surprised but the other driver's eyes are fixed at Daniel, a mix of fond and concerned look in his eyes. Lando swallows thickly, feeling like he might regret getting this information very quickly. Sebastian looks at him sympathetically as if reading his mind before continuing.

Notes:

my heart hurt reading the interviews from dan about what his time with mclaren did to his mental and physical health so ,... i read a fic in another fandom with a similar premise but yea i felt like this fit him.. he deserves all the love hugs and cuddles in the world imo

 

I started this fic a week ago and didn't want to post it until it was finished but uhm, this did not end up being the fic I started..
but still, I hope you enjoy <3

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Max

Summary:

“Heya Maxy,” he sighed and Max laughed a little, looking at Lando like they were sharing an inside joke when Lando was still very much trying to reboot.

Chapter Text

Lando is talking with Max regarding setting up a streaming session together when they get some time off again when it happens the first time. One second he was looking down at his phone to double check his schedule for the week and a half they had off and when he looks back up Max is suddenly wrapped up in Daniel. That is to say quite literally. Daniel is hanging off of Max’ shoulder like his life depends on it, eyes barely staying open for a mere few seconds at a time.

“Uhhh,” Lando fumbles, mostly from how annoyingly adorable the other looks all wrapped up, Max has one hand around his waist acting like this is just any other day and Daniel smiles sweetly —tiredly— at Lando before leaning his head heavily on Max’ shoulder.

“Heya Maxy,” he sighs and Max chuckles a little, looking at Lando like they’re sharing an inside joke when Lando is still very much trying to reboot. Not that he has any idea what the joke is supposed to be anyways.

Max must’ve seen the shock plain on his face —he’s never been good at hiding his expressions— because he quickly goes from somewhat amused to outright laughing, making Daniel grumble in annoyance as he shakes along with the other’s laughter.

“You have no idea do you,” Max smirks eventually and Lando narrows his eyes, knowing Max is doing this on purpose since he can hardly ask what the hell is going on when the subject in question is literally right there looking like he’s 3 seconds away from falling asleep standing.

“Don’t worry, it’ll be your turn soon enough.” The other continues unbothered with a small shrug and hoists Daniel up a little, walking them both in the direction of Daniel’s motorhome before Lando can get his tongue unstuck from the roof of his mouth. His turn?? For what??
