Work Text:
Ollie and Kimi were alone in Ollie’s childhood room.
The two boys had spent all day celebrating with Ollie and his family. They had a great time hanging out with Ollie’s younger siblings, and Kimi got to know a lot more about every member of the family.
The Bearman’s invited Kimi over to stay at their house for the Holidays, and as much as he would like to be home with his family, he would love to spend his time with his boyfriend, Ollie.
So, even though Kimi knew he would be homesick, he booked a ticket to the Uk to go visit Ollie.
Everybody could tell Kimi was homesick from the moment he got there. He was acting odd, but everyone was relieved with how happy he was to spend time with everyone. The Bearman’s treated Kimi like family, and they even had a cookie decorating competition (that Ollie was nowhere near winning) They hung out, played games, had a feast, and gave each other presents.
It was safe too say that everybody was tired.
Thomas had gotten a special edition Monopoly, and everyone decided to play. Kimi had been slumped down in his chair for hours now. The taller man excused them both, Ollie pulled him away and asked if he was doing okay.
“I’m just a bit tired, Ollie”
Kimi insisted, a Chesire like grin formed on his face. Ollie gulped lowly, scared as to what his partner was gonna do.
“Aww, were you worried about me, Orsacchiotto?” Kimi teased with a sly grin.
Ollie’s cheeks reddened softly, before he shook away the feeling of embarrassment in his stomach.
“Maybe I was. What, I can’t be worried about how my future husband is doing?”
Kimi’s face flushed a deep scarlet, before he looked away. Ollie grabbed his chin and pulled him to look at him, before he leaned in and kissed the younger on the bridge of his nose.
Kimi’s blush deepened a dark crimson color, before Ollie laughed gently and pulled them back into the room.
They played a full game of monopoly, before Ollie grabbed Kimi’s hand and started to bid their goodbyes to everybody. Kimi was very grateful, if he sat on that couch any longer he was confident he would fall asleep.
The pair made their way up to Ollie’s old room. Kimi looked around his boyfriend’s childhood room.
The walls were covered with old racing posters. There were some of the greats, such as Michael Schumacher, Aryron Senna, Niki Lauda—even some more recent drivers such as Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. (Kimi was positive there was a Max Verstappen poster above his desk.)
Kimi scanned the room more and saw a shelf full of old racing helmets. He looked at how they were organized from smallest fi largest. He looked at the empty spaces that would soon be filled with his F2 and F1 helmets.
He soaked in the feeling of comfort the room gave off, before he made his way towards Ollie. The tall man was placing his own presents into his closet. As if he could read Kimi’s mind, he told the younger to just simply place the presents Ollie’s family gave him by his suitcase. Kimi obliged quietly, before standing up from his knelt down position.
He looked around the slightly cramped room, and saw his boyfriend facing him in his office chair, slightly spinning it from side to side.
“I’m going to take a shower, if that’s alright” Kimi told the tall man. Ollie smiled and nodded before standing up from the chair. He made his way to the shorter boy, who stood up straight slightly to wrap his arms around the other’s neck. The brit wrapped his his arms around his waist.
Even after Kimi pulled away, Ollie kept his arms rested around Kimi. The were only inches away from each other. Their faces so close, Kimi could feel the warm breath coming from Ollie’s slightly parted mouth.
Kimi got into his tippy toes to kiss the taller. They pulled away briefly, just to stare into each other’s eyes. Kimi could see the longing look in his partner’s eyes. The wanting to spend the rest of their lives together. Ollie leaned in again and kissed him passionately. This time when they pulled away from each other Ollie booped the tip of Kimi’s nose, causing both of them to start giggling.
Kimi grabbed his clothes from his suitcase and made his way through the slightly unfamiliar house. He made his way to the bathroom before starting a warm shower. He liked to just stand in the shower and think. Think about his future, or maybe dwell on the past. Lately though, he’s been thinking about Ollie.
‘His perfect curly hair, his contagious laughter, his funny jokes, his muscular body—‘
Sometimes the thoughts got a bit too wild. But nonetheless, Kimi liked to think about Ollie. The brit was always on his mind. When he raced, when he showers—sometimes he even dreams about the older boy.
More times than not, he’s thinking about their relationship. About how he could be with such a perfect guy like Ollie. How he could spend all of his time with him and never get bored, even if they’re doing nothing.
Which brings him to the present.
After Kimi’s shower, he felt a lot more energized. Ollie took his chance to hop into the bathroom to shower before his siblings. When he entered the bedroom once again, he came back without a shirt, in just shorts and a towel.
Kimi looked away, and Ollie grinned dumbly. The british man lifted Kimi up and pulled him into a hug. Any normal person would find that a bit strange, but Kimi was too flustered by the hot shirtless guy holding him. When Ollie set him back down, Kimi was so dizzy from being pressed against Ollie’s bear chest. His heart was racing a million miles per hour.
Ollie giggled as he sat down on the bed criss crossed and kissed Kimi softly. The younger was still flushed, but had cooled from his deep red to a rosey pink. Ollie grabbed his phone from the bedside table and started scrolling through Twitter and Instagram.
Kimi mumbled softly and threw himself face first into the bed, he laid his head down in a pillow and groaned loudly to get Ollie’s attention. Kimi was surprised by how big and comfortable the bed was. The brit ignored him and continued to scroll through his social medias, laughing at some posts.
Kimi wanted Ollie’s attention, but didn’t know how to get it. Annoyed, Kimi sat up and pushed himself into Ollie’s side. The taller luggage’s softly before pushing Kimi gently. The Italian was already fed up, and just wanted to cuddle with his boyfriend. He was already growing tired again.
Kimi whined softly before laying himself across Ollie’s lap.
“Hi Kimi” he laughed, before softly playing with the pile of hair in front of him. He stroked and played with each strand of brown curls gently. He could already feel Kimi grow more tired.
Kimi clear his throat before flipping over, now looking at Ollie from his lap. Ollie placed his hand under his chin once again, this time stroking the side of his face with thumb. Gently moving closer to his lip.
Kimi leaned into the touch, before sitting up abruptly, accidentally bumping into Ollie’s phone. He winced slightly, but acknowledged that it was his fault. He rubbed his forehead softly before moving next to Ollie. Ollie spread his legs out, and Kimi laid his head on his forehead. Ollie put his phone away, and they both sat there with their eyes closed for a brief moment.
Kimi opened his eyes and turned towards Ollie, who was already staring at the side of his face. Ollie giggled after being caught. He leaned forward more and kissed Kimi’s pink cheeks. Kimi huffed before turning away and laying down. He didn’t need Ollie to see just how flustered that got him. Kimi could hear the tall man pout softly, before heading rustling a pair of warm strong arms around him.
Ollie laid down and wrapped himself around Kimi, holding the Italians body. Kimi could feel his cheeks flush deeper, before he turned around and nuzzled his head into Ollie’s bear chest. His face deep in his boyfriend’s warm body.
Ollie let out a low chuckle before placing a kiss on Kimi’s hair. One of the brit’s hands moved to his hair and played with it once more. Kimi loved other’s playing with his hair. His mother used to even braid his hair when it was due for a haircut.
Kimi smiled at the memory as he closed his eyes and let the tiredness surround him. The warm feeling from the person he loves being the last thing on his mind as he falls asleep.
Soft snores are heard from the Italian, and Ollie can’t help but laugh and also feel relieved. With Kimi in his arms, he can go to sleep peacefully as well, without a care in the world about anything but Kimi.
And as Ollie closed his eyes, he only had one thought on his mind. Kimi.
And if anybody came knocking on his door and saw the two of them cuddling, was nobody’s business but their own.
So even though Kimi was originally homesick, everything was worth it in the end because he got to be with the person he loved. Oliver Bearman.
And who knows, maybe they could just spend Christmas Day cuddling. It could be a new Christmas Tradition.
