Chapter Text

It all started with twitter. 

Lando was just minding his own business; lounging on Max’ couch (they were playing FIFA together), waiting for the man picking up their takeaway in the lobby, while lazily doom scrolling twitter when a particular post caught his eye. 

in babygirl max we believe @verStepOnMe

his waist 🤌 

[photo.jpeg]

Attached underneath was a picture of Max taken from the side, still in his white undersuit, the Dutch was lifting up his shirt, showing his lithe waist to the world. Max seemed to not be aware of the camera. 

Lando could feel his face heating up. He has seen that picture before, of course he has. He might have also gotten off to that picture once or twice, or maybe three or twenty times (who's counting? not him), imagining his hands wrapping around Max’ waist; leaving love marks and bruises all over his pale skin. 

Hey, formula one is an intense sport with high tension between each driver. Those tensions are the one that steer their competitive side, pushing them to strive and drive better, it earns him his brilliant performance. 

Sometimes, after the race is all done, a lot of excess tensions are still left. And sometimes, those excess tension just happened to go somewhere else in his case. In Lando’s defence, name one driver who doesn't have the hots for their rivals at least once in their career, you can't. 

Lando turned his attention back to the tweet, opting to read the rest of the thread.

babygirl never looked so good 🫦

pookie wookie maxie padsie @maxi333l

if not babygirl why so babygirl coded? 

[video.mp4]

Babygirl? 

Lando clicked on the video. It was a video of Max crossing his legs as he talked to both Christian Horner and Helmut Marko. The crossing legs, and the way he stood, leaning on the table behind him as he talked with the two men was a bit feminine sure. And he does look very pretty when he smiles in that video. But that doesn't make him a babygirl. 

Wait, what was the definition of babygirl again? He's not really sure he understood this tweet now. 

The Briton quickly switched to an urban dictionary. He had heard this slang sometimes but always seemed to forget the exact definition. 

“A man over 25 years old who is very cutesy in a slightly submissive way.”

“Has a bad boy side but isn't intimidating.”

“Soft and secure in his masculinity.”

Max? They think Max is a babygirl? 

Lando scoffed in disbelief. The dutch is in no way submissive, on the contrary, he's very dominant. On the track that is. 

Lando paused. 

On the track, Max is the most dominant of them all. But outside of racing, Max is more… laidback. He’s firm on his own boundaries, but he's happy to oblige to other's whims. One that is still within reason, of course. 

Or maybe he just figured it would be easier to agree to Lando's whims. Yesterday for example when Max went along with Lando dragging him to a padel match with the rest of the twitch quartet despite having just woken up from his nap. The man grumbled, but he still went. Although maybe the promise of ice cream was the one that got him going. 

Or a few days ago when they met up for dinner with the others and Charles bugged the dutch to try on this adorable bucket hat that has cat ears on it and Max finally complied after the Monegasque gave him a pitiful puppy eyes and they definitely did not miss the small smile Max wore when Charles bought the hat for him. 

The Ferrari driver was unnecessarily proud of that achievement. 

Or maybe last week when Alex forced Max to be his next victim on this new massage technique he learned for Lily, enjoying in pure bliss as Alex fussed about his tense shoulder and took care of him for the whole hour. 

Lando may have gotten a hard on when Max started to moan. But George and Charles did too!

Anyway, two weeks ago George gave Max a ticket to Switzerland saying it would be fun to spend the winter break together since the rest of them already have individual plans and now they're all leaving for Zurich in a week because Max had said, “Why not?” after George begged him (he didn't actually beg, but details) and none of them want to leave him alone with George because they're all worried that the Briton would jump him. Max is oblivious in that regard after all. Very. 

And no, it's not because of the smug smirk George gave them or the burning jealousy inside their heart that makes them tag along, absolutely not. 

'I guess he can be a bit submissive...kind of?'

Max's image is a bit... harsh. People would think the worst when they heard the name Max Verstappen, but in reality, Max is the kindest guy Lando knew. He can be a bit of an arsehole sure, but who isn't? 

The Max Lando knew is the guy who's obsessed over the Grinch because "he's just a misunderstood guy" and wear a dinosaur onesie to their sleepover because "It's so cute! And I like the green."  

His friend Max is the guy who hug every plushie they encounter in the department store because of how soft they are. He talked about his cats every chance possible because he loved them so much and can't stop showing people pictures and videos of them. 

The Max he knew is the one who stayed up late on the phone with him whenever Lando wants to vent and rant about everything and nothing, the guy who made him a delicious creamy mushroom soup the moment he heard him sneezed, the one who caressed his hair and hummed some random dutch song when he's upset. 

Max is the guy who hugs people like he never wants to let them go, the guy who remembers everyone's birthday like the back of his hand, the guy who always pay attention to every little thing about his friends, the guy who-

Lando's eyes widened. Oh my god, Max is a babygirl. 

So Lando did what Lando does best. He made a group chat about it. 

Lando Norris created a new group chat. 

Lando Norris added Alex Albon, George Russell, Charles Leclerc, Oscar Piastri, Carlos Sainz, and Daniel Ricciardo.

Lando Norris changed the group name to MAX IS A BABYGIRL?!

"Lano," Lando flinched as he heard his name being called. He genuinely forgot that he's still in Max's apartment. "Why are you giggling on your phone like a mad man?"

"Just tiktok, Max," Lando waved him off. He quickly turned his phone off, turning his attention to the man in front of him. 

Max looked deli- heavenly.

Sweats were trickling down the dutch's temples, running down his chin. His hair was drenched in sweat and sticking out everywhere, but somehow it adds to his charm. Max's cheeks was red from the heat and his blue eyes has never been clearer.

Dear God, thank you for making summer. Because Max was clad in a ridiculously short shorts that showcase his thighs beautifully and a black Red Bull hoodie, which for everyone else was a normal gamer outfit, but for Max? Lando could feel his own shorts getting tighter. 

"God, I'm roasting in this hoodie," and the man took his hoodie off. In front of Lando. 

"Yeah," Lando licked his dry lips. "It's quite hot today, huh Maxim?" Albeit not for the same reason. 

"Uh huh, I can't with this heat," Max said, licking the ice lolly in his hand. "You want one, Lano?" he asked as he put the whole thing in his mouth. 

Lando gulped. Max has to be doing this shit on purpose. There's no way he doesn't realize Lando's crush on him right? Right?! 

And then Max did the wildest thing Lando could ever imagine.

He put his head under the kitchen sink and soaked his head through. When he's done, with water still dripping from his hair down to his shirtless body, he leisurely walked towards Lando, ice cream still in his mouth. 

So Lando did the only thing he could think of.

Chapter Text

‘Curse Lando and his stupid group chat,’ Oscar thought as he watched Max from where he stood. 

They were doing drivers parade and the only thing Oscar could think of was the way Max's throat moved when he gulped those cans of Red Bull he loves so much. The way the soda that spill from Max's mouth traced down his bobbing adam's apple, the pale neck that's begging to be–

Jesus Christ, he almost got a hard on. 

Oscar watched back as Max opened a new can of Red Bull. 

The dutch has this adorable habit where he would sip his newly opened Red Bull just a little with both of his hands wrapped around the can, it was as if he was test sipping the manufactured drink to see if it tasted any different than the one he drank before. 

It's so cute it sends an electric shock directly to Oscar's cock. 

Damn Lando and his stupid group chat. 

Oscar turned his body around in resignation, hiding his hardened cock behind the banner that covered the side of the truck they were on. 

What a shame, he still wants to stare at Max's neck.

“Did you get a hard-on during the drivers parade?” was what greeted Oscar as he entered his side of the garage. 

Oscar's eyes widened as he immediately shushed Logan and dragged him into a quiet corner. The American was visiting him in the paddock as WEC was on break. “Why the fuck were you staring at my crotch?!” he whisper-yelled. 

Logan rolled his eyes, “I saw you keep staring at Max so I did too and I kinda got hard when he's drinking. Since you got the hots for him, I figured you got hard too when you turn your back and hide your cock behind the banner.” He's not wrong but Jesus, can he be more crude? 

Oscar sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose in exasperation, “I really don't need to know about your hard-on too.”

“I know,” Logan grinned. “I just wanted to let you know that now I understand the appeal.”

For fuck sake. 

Why are all his friends so crass?

Oscar Piastri

🖕🖕🖕

Oscar's opportunity to admire Max, again, came sooner than he expected. 

They were in the briefing room, Lando sitting on his right with Carlos one seat over. George, Alex, and Charles in front of them. 

The five of them were talking about some TV Shows that Oscar didn’t watch as they waited for the rest of the drivers to arrive. Oscar himself was occupied by answering Logan's text as well as entertaining Daniel in the new group chat when he felt someone sitting on the chair to his left. 

The Aussie looked up, only to find a sweaty red faced Max smiling bright at him, he gulped. 

This is not fair. How can someone be that hot and adorable at the same time? His cock started to hurt. 

“Hey Ozzie,” the man greeted him, the new nickname Max gave him doesn't help with his wood at all. Why did he suddenly decide to give Oscar an adorable nickname like that?

Oscar tried to keep his expression cool. He gave Max a little smile and greeted him back, “Hey Maxie,” and Max fucking giggled. All sheepish and shy, the corner of his eyes crinkling. Jesus, his laugh sounds like a melody to Oscar's ears. 

Oscar could feel the phone in his hands vibrating, but he couldn't care less. Instead, he started to converse with Max, “Are you okay, Maxie? It's unusual that you're late to the briefing.”

Oscar absolutely relishes the shy expression on Max's face when he is called Maxie, his eyes wide before he turns his attention downwards, a modest smile on his lips. He watched as Max tucked his growing hair behind his ears, glancing shyly at Oscar as he softly replied, “I'm alright, GP forgot to wake me up.”

“Did you run here?” Max wordlessly agreed with him. Oscar hummed, he reached for the handkerchief in his pocket and started patting Max's face dry, “No wonder you're drenched.”

Oscar could hear Max's breath hitched, but the Aussie pretended not to notice it. He admired upclose the way Max’s teeth bit his now redden lips, how the red that had left the dutch face slowly came back, creeping up his neck. 

Oscar brushed his hand on the corner of Max's lips, “Don't bite your lips like that, you're gonna hurt yourself.”

The world felt like it stopped for a moment, Max’s ocean blue meeting his own chestnut coloured one– until Christian Horner's voice entered his ear that is. “Piastri, if you could please let go of my driver's face that would be very much appreciated, thank you,” Horner's annoyed voice broke the tension between them followed by a series of laughter from the other drivers. 

Oscar let go of Max, who coughed and immediately turned to Checo for water. He leaned back onto his own seat, a smug smirk on his face as he saw his friends' apparent burning jealousy.

“Loge,” Oscar called out to his best friend. The driver's briefing just finished and Oscar immediately fled the crime scene as soon as Max left with Checo– "See you later, Ozzie!” –to avoid Alex's wrath. The Aussie went to sit on the chair next to Logan. 

“Hm?” The American was still busy with his phone. 

“I think I'm in love…” he confessed, remembering the pink hue that covers Max's cheeks. 

“With Max?”

“Ye- wait, how do you know?!” Oscar whipped his head to a grinning Logan. 

“It's about time you realised, Osc,” his best friend fondly flicked Oscar's forehead.

Chapter Text

Carlos and Max's relationship in Toro Rosso were somewhat… strained. Some would say that they were borderline toxic but Carlos would have to disagree. Because it wasn't them that was toxic, it was their fathers. 

But Carlos liked Max, and Max liked Carlos. 

So sometimes, when both their fathers were nowhere to be seen, the two Toro Rosso boys would sneak into Franz' office and spend the rest of their free time together– Max reading the book he brought out loud to Carlos, who would sit between Max’s legs on the carpeted floor, head laying on the dutch's thigh. Those were one of the memories Carlos held dear in his heart. 

When Carlos left Red Bull, their relationship naturally drifted apart. It tooks a lot of effort from both of their sides to repair it, to start from where they left off. They didn't really have much of a relationship to begin with, with what their fathers going for each other's throats for each second past, but every moment they managed to steal to learn about one another was still something. 

“Lalo?” Max's concerned voice brought him back. Azure eyes met honey brown, the faint creases between those eyes led Carlos’ hand to delicately ease those worried lines away. 

“Carrlos?” Carlos could see Max’s brows furrowed, the boy must be feeling frustrated about his lisps. It was one of those days where Max's lisps were worse than ever. 

“You know,” Carlos started. “My mom used to call me Lalo when I was little.”

“Lalo?”

“Yeah, I really love that nickname,” Carlos smiled at his teammate. “You can call me Lalo if you want, Máximo.”

Carlos’ hands were steady as it found the curve of Max's pale cheeks, his fingers gentle as they cradled the line of his jaw. Max let out a satisfied sigh, leaning in ever so slightly as his eyes fluttered closed. 

They were in Max's driver room, Max laying down on the sofa with his head on Carlos lap as the Dutch man read a Christmas book out loud to him. 

The qualifying has been postponed to god knows when because of the heavy rain, and if Carlos has to judge by the look of the dark grey cloud, quali would probably be pushed back to tomorrow. 

“Yes, Máximo?” Carlos finally replied. 

Max's eyes flickered open. “Are you okay? You were zoned out, Lalo,” the man reached out to cup Carlos' cheek. Max's finger was warm and tender as he traced out the curve of his cheek. 

“I'm alright, Max,” Carlos gave him a small smile, his fingers playing with Max's blonde locks, twisting and caressing it with care. “Just remembering our times in Franz office,” Max smiled at that. 

"I miss Franz..." the atmosphere around them turned a little somber. 

"Me too, Max, me too."

“Speaking of," Max quickly changed the subject, "How did you manage to sneak into here?”

“Once a Red Bull family, always a Red Bull family,” Carlos jokes, winking at the Dutch man. Max giggled at his words. 

“No but seriously Carlos, how did you get in here?” Carlos could spot the mischievous glint on those striking blue any day. And sure enough, the blonde suddenly started to tickle his waist, laughing as he said, “Did you come to steal our strategy, you Ferrari thief!”

Carlos couldn't stop the laughter bubbling on his chest as he tried to get away from the Red Bull driver. The two of them were now circling around the small room, laughing as they chased one another, the book Max was reading abandoned on the floor. 

Between the 4 gray walls, their booming laughter bouncing off the wall, a rich and joyful sounds that seems to fill every corner of the dimly lit room, mingling with their hurried steps against the tiled floor.

Finally Carlos managed to get ahold of both Max's arms and pulled him in, tackling him into the ground. Max broke into an uncontrollable laughter as his back hit the ground, Carlos’ hand on the back of his head, protecting his skull. 

Gasping for breath, Carlos managed to let out, “Ha- stop laughing, scoundrel! Christian was the one who let me in…ha- stupido.” He rolled his eyes when Max turned into another giggling fit. But he couldn't help the laughter that erupted from his chest. 

The both of them; sweaty and still a gasping mess, finally lay side by side, the quiet warmth of each other's presence a comfort in the stillness of the room. Carlos could feel the subtle shift on his arm, the slight movement of the other as he turned, Max's gaze now directed at him. 

The air between them seemed to hold its breath as their eyes met, the silence hanging as the tension between them changed. 

“Max-”

"Carl-"

“What are you guys doing?” Max immediately sat up at the new voice, his head whipping at the door. 

Carlos sighed, clicking his tongue at Checo and Alex who interrupted them. The Mexican has the gall to look amused, as if he just caught them sneaking off with each other. 

Maybe they were.

Max playfully slapped his thigh as he looked at Carlos' annoyed expression. “What's up, guys?” he asked. 

“Christian is looking for you,” Checo helpfully answered, he went to help the both of them get up from the floor. 

“Oof- I'll see you later then, Lalo!” the dutch said, already walking down the corridor. 

"Lalo?" Checo turned back to him, the corner of his mouth turned up into a teasing smirk, “What were you guys doing anyway?”

Alex, meanwhile, looked nauseous as he shook Carlos’ shoulders. “Carlos,” his tone was dangerous. “Tell me you didn't just do perverted things to my little brother.” 

Jesus, Alex and his secret brother complex to Max that somehow only the Red Bull Family noticed. 

“Of course not!” Carlos dramatically threw his arms in the air. “We were just talking before you guys-”

Alex visibly looked better.

“Good, that's a plus point from me,” the Thai driver winked at him before turning back and leaving the room, following his grid brother.

Carlos swears the Williams driver is just messing with him. What the hell is he doing in Red Bull anyway? 

Carlos turned towards Checo, “Don't tell anyone about this.”

“Sure sure,” Checo clapped his shoulder before whistling off down the hallway.

“Halo, Vati?” 

“Maxi, are you keeping secrets from your vati now?” Max could hear the amusement in Sebastian’s voice. 

“Ugh– fine, fine… but don't tell isä and dad! And especially not papa. Both of them.”

“Would I ever?”

Max facepalmed, who is his father fooling honestly? “Yes, yes you would.”

buddha pls give alex strength

🙃

The alarm clock George set has been blaring loudly for the past ten minutes, deafening the Briton's eardrum. He groaned, snatching the vibrating phone on his nightstand and finally putting the alarm to rest. 

George sat up groggily and rubbed his throbbing head, why did he book a 7am flight again? Right, cause it's the cheapest. Call him a cheapskate, but it's a wise financial decision in his book. 

He downed the water bottle by his bed before stepping out of his room, leisurely approaching the occupied guest room. 

“Max?” He knocked on the door. “We have to get ready now, Maxy. Our flight at 7, remember?”

He heard a whine from inside the room. Vaguely, George recalled the conversation he had with Max last night, “Georgie, don't bother knocking on the door multiple times, I won't wake up with that. Just open the door and shake me awake, I won't lock it.”

“Max, I'm coming in.” The doorknob turned with ease. 

George stepped into the dimly lit room, spotting a tangle of sheets on the bed. Max was soundly asleep, laying on his chest with both his arms tucked under the pillow. 

His hair was a mess, tousled blonde mane rested against the pillow, curls falling in lazy waves over his forehead. His pink lips were parted just slightly, the faintest sound of breathing, steady and rhythmic, like the hum of an engine settling after a long race coming out of it. His expression completely relaxed, none of the tension he carried on race weekends visible, none of the sharp edges that came with being who he was. 

Right here, right now, sleeping in the guest bedroom in George house, was just Max. Not the Dutch lion, nor the four time world champion. Just Max. 

Smiling to himself, George slowly propped himself down by the Dutch's head, careful not to josled the bed too hard. 

“Maxy,” he murmured, running a hand gently down the other’s cheek. Nothing. 

He leaned in, lips tracing the tip of Max's ears –almost kissing it, “Come on, Maxy, time to wake up.”

Max stirred slightly, brows knitted together, but he didn't open his eyes. “Mm… ten more minutes,” he groaned voice raspier than usual, still thick with sleep. 

George chuckled, “Not even five?” He ran a hand down the Dutch's back, gently squeezing his waist. 

“C'mon, Maxy, wake up,” he tried again, sing-song this time. 

Instead of waking up, Max turned towards George, arms moving to hug the Briton’s waist, pulling him onto the bed, before curling in on himself, trying to resume his sleep. Max wasn't lying when he said he's a heavy sleeper. 

Jokingly, George said, “If you don't wake up, I'm gonna bite your cheeks.”

“Try it,” Max dared, voice muffled by his arms. 

Oh, it's on.

George smirked. Without any warning, he bit the blonde's plump cheeks with his lips, careful as to not use his teeth, and softly pulled the soft skin and stretching it, earning himself an annoyed whine. 

“Okay, okay!” Finally Max rolled onto his back, gazing blearily at him. He pouted, “I'm still sleepy, Georgie...”

“I know, darling,” he brushed the blonde's curl back. “But we'll be late for the flight if you continue to sleep.”

Max grumbled, “Help me up then.” 

The Dutch stretched out his hands, blinking expectantly at George. The Briton couldn't help but chortle at the gesture, what a babygirl.

“George, look at that dragon.”

“The doll?”

“Yep.”

“What about it?”

“It looks soft.”

George's mouth twitched as he stared at Max; mouth curving into a bright smile, happily skipping down the rest of the duty free aisle, fingers intertwined with George's, and a noticeable sized dragon plush in his arms. 

Let's just call it George's apology for waking Max up too early. 

Chapter Text

There are rumours in the paddock. 

Whispers of “Wow, he is a babygir!” or “I never realized he’s that adorable” or “Is it just me or is Max getting prettier by the day?” could be heard throughout the pits and hospitalities. 

Now, Lewis doesn't have a problem with people– whether it's the Mechanics or Drivers –admiring their fellow colleagues of their beauty. What he has a problem with is the term ‘babygirl’. 

Now, Lewis has googled the term babygirl; and what he found was zero, zip, zilch, nada. Then he went to twitter and that confused him more! (They keep posting pictures of male actors and captioned it with babygirl without any context, what the fuck does that even mean?!) 

It took Bono to accidentally hear him venting about this ‘babygirl’ term to his brother on the phone for the man finally gave him some clue (he has truly been enjoying Lewis’ suffering in benightedness). 

“Try urban dictionary,” he said, and Lewis finally understood the slang. 

“A man over 25 years old who is very cutesy in a slightly submissive way.”

“Has a bad boy side but isn't intimidating.”

“Soft and secure in his masculinity.”

The definition stated and Lewis just has to disagree. 

Max?! 

That Mad Max?! 

The guy who drive like he's downing fuel for breakfast, the guy who has no problem pushing the rule to the limit, the guy who give zero fucks and filters during the press conference, the guy who– that Max?! 

Which part of him is cutesy ?! 

In what way is he not intimidating?! 

In what world is he a babygirl?! 

So Lewis does what he did best, he observes. 

The first opportunity came to him without much trouble. He was sitting in the corner of the Ferrari garage, his legs stretched out in front of him. The low hum of the track in the distance was drowned out by the music in his ears, the familiar beat of his playlist flowing through his AirPods. The sprint race had been pushed back to tomorrow and everyone in the paddock is just enjoying their free time now– he had heard George planning for a grid dinner with everyone after the rain subsided a bit and Lewis was just waiting for when they would all go to the restaurant. 

He was relaxed, letting the rhythm of the music carry him through the stillness of the moment, as the rain outside began to fall heavier, a soft patter against the garage roof. He wasn’t expecting company, not really.

But then, there was a shuffle of movement to his right. He turned slightly, finding Max coming to the Ferrari garage in search of Charles, saying that the Monegasque had borrowed his earphone in the morning and forgot to bring it back. 

“I think he went to snack in the cafeteria with Carlos and Lando,” Lewis helpfully answered. 

Max pouted and Lewis had to rub his eyes to see if what he's seeing was real. He couldn't help but stare. 

“Aw man, I'm too lazy to walk there,” the Dutch muttered, a light frustration in his voice. “What are you doing here, Lew?”

“Just watching the rain,” Lewis replied, not thinking much of it. 

Max's eyes lit up immediately, “I love watching the rain! Can I join you?” 

That was– The way Max’s eyes softened, the way his lips curved upward just a little, Lewis didn't know if his brain was messing with him but Max's reaction was so adorable . Not that he would admit that to anyone if asked, they would have to beat him to the 8th Championship before they could pry that information out of him. 

“Uh– sure?” Lewis said, unsure what else to say. 

And Max beamed. For a moment, the world felt a little warmer, a little softer. 

Lewis watched as Max dragged a folded chair from the corner of the garage, unfolded it and sat it down beside Lewis without hesitation, smiling sweetly at him. He could feel a flutter in his chest, but he couldn’t let it show.

Lewis doesn't know what to make of the sudden proximity. They sat side by side in silence, the rain outside beating against the roof in a steady rhythm. Max didn’t say anything at first, just leaned back, looking at the rain with quiet interest. And then, out of nowhere, he reached for one of Lewis’s AirPods, tugging it gently out of his ear.

“Mind if I join the music too?” Max asked, grinning, his voice playful, as he settled the AirPod into his ear before Lewis could even say no. 

Lewis felt his pulse shift—he hadn’t been prepared for Max to just... take his AirPod like that. And that smile. That smile, playful and slightly mischievous, made something warm stir in Lewis’s chest.

He cleared his throat, trying to brush off the sudden flustered feeling that had taken root in his chest. "Sure, go ahead,” because what else can Lewis say? 

The next time Lewis found his opportunity was when Lewis was walking through the paddock, the buzz of the other drivers and team personnel surrounding him as he made his way to the garage. His mind was focused on the upcoming race, the usual pre-race jitters kicking in. But then, something stopped him.

He noticed a small crowd gathered near the trackside, and among them, the unmistakable figure of Max. He froze, his gaze immediately drawn to the scene before him. Max was sitting on a bench, wearing a ridiculous yellow bucket hat with a cartoonish duck face embroidered on the front. His eyes were wide, animated, and completely lost in whatever story he was telling the group.

Max was gesturing wildly, his hands slicing through the air with each exaggerated point, clearly caught up in whatever conversation was unfolding. It was impossible not to watch. Lewis found himself unable to look away. Max just looked so... endearing . His mind couldn't find any other words that fit better, too occupied with those blue eyes filled with life. 

Then, Max paused for a moment and Lewis stood still as he watched Max open his mouth wide, ready for the spoonful of yogurt that touches his lips. There was something about the way Max's lips parted, so effortlessly and without a second thought, that made a heat stir in his stomach down to his cock. The sight was simple, innocent even, yet it hit Lewis harder than whatever porn he was watching last night. 

That was dangerous. 

Lewis turned his attention away, focusing instead on what the crowd around Max was doing. 

To Max’s right sat Oscar, who was feeding him yoghurt with a spoon as Max continued to talk, pausing only to accept the yoghurt. Oscar looked amused, watching Max with quiet affection, the corners of his mouth curled in an easy smile. On Max’s back, Lando had his head resting on Max’s shoulder, both of his hands curl around Max, his eyes half-closed as if the conversation wasn’t enough to keep him awake. 

To his left, Pierre watched Max with a grin on his face, occasionally cleaning the corner of Max’s mouth with his thumb, clearly enjoying the spectacle Max was putting on. Max’s leg was a support for Carlos, who had his head resting on Max’s thigh as he listened intently to whatever wild idea Max was passionately maxplain. And across from them, Charles and George were leaning forward, laughing along and hanging on to every word, as if whatever Max was saying was the most important thing in the world.

Lewis stood there, mouth agape, and stared. What is going on and how is this even real?

The third time Lewis stumbled upon the opportunity to observe Max ‘babygirl’ behaviour, Max had stolen a bite out of Lewis’ ice cream. 

Lewis was leaning against the pitwall, enjoying the ice cream in his hand. He had just finished his race debrief with Ferrari and needed a moment to himself. He should've listened to Sebastian's warning about Ferrari. 

As he took another lick, Lewis felt a shuffling to his side. He glanced and saw Max, grinning mischievously, as he approached Lewis. Before he could react, Max had leaned over and stole a bite from his ice cream, a cheeky gleam in his eyes as he pulled back, licking his lips, clearly pleased with himself.

“Hey!” Lewis laughed, though the words felt weak against the sight in front of him. He couldn’t help but stare at Max’s lips, still smeared with remnants of ice cream. The way Max’s tongue flicked out, trying to clean them off, the way he hum at the taste of the ice cream, the way he looked so innocent with the smeared vanilla that looked entirely like something else in his mind– it sent a jolt straight to him right to his cock. 

Then Max laughed, carefree and genuine, so unguarded and free– it made Lewis’ mind filled with desires he wasn't ready to confront. All he wanted, in that very moment, was to kiss that grin off Max's face and eat him alive. 

Lewis was blind. 

Max is a babygirl. 

Max is a babygirl and Lewis had lost a championship to him. 

Max is a babygirl and Lewis has caught feelings for him. 

Sebastian’s gonna kill him. 

That night, Lewis woke up to a nightmare where he got chased by his in-laws. The terrifying dream reminded him of one fact that he had forgotten: Sebastian married Fernando and Nico. (And the rest of his husbands aren't any better either.) 

He shudders and pulled his blanket tighter– trying to forget about the dream and get back to sleep. But there’s one thing in this whole debacle he’s now sure of: 1) He’s not gonna go on and ignore his feelings for Max, 2) There's no way he would survive that in-laws meeting. 

Unbeknownst to him, a couple of people on the grid have, unfortunately, noticed his growing feelings for Max. And they could not possible have him think that he could have Max only for himself.

Is it just me or does anyone see the way Lewis looks at Max too? 

Max's Charlie

I do not like the way he stared at Max.

I do not appreciate the way he looked at Max as if he wants to devour him. And it's not only him, other people are starting to see Max like that too.

No one can look at him like that except us.
