Summary:

Lando takes Oscar to a party, Carlos' party, actually.

Notes:

no beta reader, this is the first time in 4 years i write something so i hope it's at least decent, also english not my first language, pls be nice 😭

i know this might be weird 'cause carlos is such a jerk to oscar and oscar is so unbothered about it but hear me out they're so enemies to lovers coded, i've been thinking about these two since summer break and after zandvoort and monza it got worse so i really had to write something!!!

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

Work Text:

"Come on mate! just come with me for a couple of hours, it's gonna be so funny, i swear."

"No, it's not gonna be. I know you're gonna leave me alone the second we arrive." Oscar took a sip of his cofee and continued to write some kind of stuff on his laptop. "Also, as you can see, i'm a little busy right now, i have a huge assignment for next week, so I'll still pass, enjoy it tho."

"I swear to god i will not leave you alone, i will stick to you all night if you want me to, but please come." Lando grabbed Oscar's mug out of the table, drank a bit of his coffee and made a grimace, he forgot he hates the way Oscar prepares coffee. "Also, you said your assignment is for next week, not for today."

Oscar looked at Lando for a long while and then sighed, if he says no one more time he doesn't know how much Lando will insist until he accepts, so now is better. "Okay, i'll go. Wich friend's party you say is?"

"Great! oh, it's Ca... Charles' party! he and his roommate move in into a new apartment recently and wanted to throw a party." Fuck. That was so close, he almost messed up, if he would have said it was actually Carlos' party, Oscar definitely wouldn't accept go, and he really wanted Oscar to go. He doesn't get why Carlos and Oscar hate each other so much, actually, he didn't see each other even interact before, it was really a shock when he found out his two best friends hated each other, he understands that people didn't always get along but it bugs him sometimes when he wants to hang out with both of them and he can't 'cause in a blink of an eye they would start to fight and he doesn't really want that, so he hopes the party to help a bit at least.

 

They arrived arround 11 at night at Charles' (Carlos) party and rang the doorbell, they could hear the music and laughs from the inside softly until the door was opened and it was louder, but the guy who opened the door wasn't who Oscar expected to, it was Carlos.

"What is he doing here?" both Carlos and Oscar said with a grimace.

"Why wouldn't i be here? is my party!" Carlos said.

"I wasn't talking at you, plus i don't care. Lando?" Oscar said with the most unbothered face he could put and looked directly at Lando.

"Yeah i might forgot to tell you that Charles' roommate was Carlos so Charles' party is also Carlos' party, funny isn't it?" dear god he fucked up this time, he didn't wanna Carlos and Oscar to meet so early, he kinda expected to both get drunk and maybe run into each other then, but of course Carlos had to open the freaking door.

"Yeah correct, i'm leaving, see you home." Or that's what Oscar was planning to do after see Carlos' stupid face but Lando wasn't gonna let him go so easily, so he grabbed him by the elbow and was about to say something until Carlos spoke.

"You can stay if you want to."

"No thanks i-" "He wants to, thanks Carlos! Come on Oscar let's get us a drink" And even before Oscar could say something Lando had already pulled him into the house and neither of them looked at Carlos again.

 

Oscar knew he was right about Lando ditching him but not when he said Lando would leave him alone the first second, Lando even waited arround 30 minutes until he saw George and Alex and went to talk to them, Oscar wouldn't get mad if he would have saw Logan but apparently he wasn't invited neither and didn't want to, so Oscar was all alone drinking some kind of juice and vodka he thought, wasn't sure actually, so he drank, and drank, and drank until the world was kinda blurry, he didn't care anymore.

Even tho he was kinda drunk there's only one thing he noticed very well, Carlos was across the room looking at him ALL DAMN NIGHT, people would talk to him but he wouldn't stop looking at Oscar, it started to make Oscar uncomfortable but at the same time to annoy him, like a lot, so he went to talk to Carlos.

"Ok, what's your problem?"

"What do you mean? also, Why are you talking at me?" Carlos said but he wasn't looking at Oscar anymore, he was looking somewhere over Oscar's head, interesting.

"Do not try to play the fool with me Carlos, you couldn't stop looking at me like a dumb all night and now you can't even look at me. What. is. your. problem.?" Even tho Oscar was a bit drunk he tried to speak normally, if Carlos wants to look like a dumb he can, but Oscar won't.

"Say my name one more time, please." Carlos was still looking at everything but Oscar, he definitely seem pretty drunk but his voice tone was the same as always, he was hiding it so good, Oscar was getting mad at this point.

"I'm not gonna say your stupid name again, just tell me what's your fucking problem with me!" This time Carlos did look at Oscar but was completely different, he didn't look at Oscar like always, like he was weirdo, his eyes had this thing that Oscar only could describe as lust but he decided to ignore that anyway.

"I don't have a problem with you-" And even before Carlos could say anything else Oscar grabbed him by the elbow and pulled him into some room to talk, he wasn't gonna argue in front of a bunch of people, he doesn't care if they're drunk it wasn't the place anyway.

"What are we doing here?"

"We're gonna talk, i'm sick of you and your bullshit and none of us is gonna leave this room until we fix things, Ok? Lando would actually like that." Oscar never let go Carlos' elbow but none of them said anything about it, they were just looking at each other.

"So all of this is just for Lando? I see it now." Carlos took a step closer to Oscar. What the actual fuck.

"What do you mean by 'i see it now'? What do you see?" Oscar mocked Carlos and took a step closer as well.

"We are here to 'talk' and 'fix' our 'differences' just because Lando wanted us to, you don't want this and neither do i, i'm sorry if your boyfriend gets mad but i don't care."

"Pardon me? My WHAT?" Oscar bursted out of laugh, that was ridiculous, Lando his boyfriend? Never, but sometimes he wishes to have fallen in love with Lando and not Carlos 'cause at least Lando is nice to him.

"Your boyfriend i said. Are you deaf or something? Stop laughing, i don't get the joke!"

"Lando's not my boyfriend, at all. Why the hell would you think that?" Oscar stopped laughing and went directly straight face like nothing happened, Carlos doesn't get how he does that but it's scary.

"Because you guys are always together and you look at him like he's holding the sun and stars for you."

"That's so ridiculous, first of all: Lando is my best friend. Second: we are roommates, of course we are gonna be together all the time. and finally: Why are you being so weird by the way i look at him? like i said, he is my best friend and i admire him a lot, just that. Wait are you jealous or something? 'Cause if you like Lando you can have him, you got the way free, buddy." Oscar smiled but he was screaming inside, of course Lando had to be Carlos' crush, after years of friendship between them it was only matter of time for them to date. "Now that everything is fixed i can leave, see you arround i guess."

But Oscar didn't have to chance to leave 'cause Carlos pulled him by the shirt and pressed his lips against Oscar's, it was so shame the way Oscar didn't try to push Carlos and instantly kissed him back because oh dear god it was way much better than he ever thought and he have thought about it several times.

Carlos' lips were so big, fluffy and pretty adictive, Oscar didn't want to stop kissing them but sadly he had to breath. "What.the.actual.fuuuck."

"You know? for someone who looks like a goody you swear a lot." This time Carlos sounded a bit agittated but Oscar didn't know if it was for the alcohol or the kiss.

"You just kissed me and that's the first thing that comes out of your mouth?"

"Pretty much yeah." And then again pulled Oscar for another kiss, this time slower but agressive as the first one and Oscar couldn't take his hands out of Carlos' body, his chest, his arms, his back, his hair, everywhere, Carlos' did the same as well until they had to breath again.

"As much as i like to kiss you i really need you to clear things for me Carlos, you just blown up my brain, twice." He could die in that precise moment, right there and it wouldn't care, he just kissed Carlos Sainz Jr, twice, that's like his biggest achievement ever, he didn't care about anything else right now.

"I was jealous but not because i'd like Lando, i like him but not that way, he's my best friend as well, i was jealous 'cause i like you but you seemed to hate me and being so lovely to Lando, that annoyed me a lot and i started to bother you everytime i saw you..."

"Did i seem to hate you? Really?"

"Yeah you have that kind of face that sometimes looks pretty judgy and i really thought you hated me."

"I've never hated you, i liked you since the first time i saw you, you're such a handsome guy and pretty built, you know?"

"And you're pretty cute and handsome at the same time, Oscar."

They couldn't hold it anymore and both started to laugh, that was such a dumb misunderstanding they could avoid so long ago but didn't have the right chance to, Lando would roll his eyes if he knew everything.

And speaking of the devil, that's just when Lando decided to appear and opened the door. "Oscar? thank god i was looking for you, i thought you left me, and what are you doing here laughing with Carlos? What did i miss?" Lando's smile was huge to see his two best friends finally being nice to each other.

"I think we have fixed the things right here, Carlos is actually such a nice guy." He smiled at Lando turn to face Carlos and winked at him.

"That's what i've been trying to tell you all this time, he's just kinda weird. Anyways, i'm so happy you both guys fixed things, from now we could hang out without a problem.

"Yeah, i think we could." Carlos touched Lando's and Oscar's shoulders and smiled before Lando pulled both into a hug.

"Let's go Oscar, it's kinda late right now and you still have your big assignment, see you Carlos!" Lando had already started to walk out of the room knowing well Oscar was behing following him.

"Like you want then, see you Carlos." He turned arround and smiled at Carlos, it was the most beautiful thing Carlos' drunken eyes had seen that night.

"See you guys then..."
