Max quickly mutes his alarm before looking back at Lewis, still sound asleep. His husband rarely wakes up from the sound of the alarm. Max is always awake about a minute before it goes off.
Lewis looks peaceful, soft, warm. It’s a side to him only Max gets to see to this extend. Max can’t help himself when he reaches over. Gently brushing a braid of Lewis’s forehead, stroking his cheek.
His husband grumbles and without opening his eyes rolls closer till he’s on top of Max. Max chuckles softly, “morning sleepy”. Lewis buries his face deeper into Max’s chest. Max strokes his back, “I enjoy this a lot, of course. But we do need to get ready”. Lewis peaks up at him, “hmm no. I have not had my morning kisses yet”.
Max smiles a strokes his cheek, “come get them then”. Lewis laughs softly, before connecting their lips. Max wraps his arms around Lewis’s waist tighter. “mine”, he hums when Lewis pulls away.
Lewis laughs and rolls his eyes, “now I am ready to get up”. Max laughs with him and watches him get out of bed. Lewis in nothing but his boxers is always a sight. Max stares shamelessly.
Lewis stretches a little flexing his muscles before going into the bathroom. Max follows him, in just boxers and an old t-shirt. They get ready for the day, teasing each other and sneaking kisses. At the door, Max pulls Lewis close one last time.
In a minute they will leave through the side door and get into separate cars. Max inhales sharply, “one more please?”. Lewis strokes his cheek. He stands on his tippy toes just a little and kisses Max softly. Max hold him steady. “I love you”, he whispers into Lewis’s ear as he leans his head on his shoulder.
Neither of them ready yet for their bubble to burst. “I love you too”, Lewis whispers back softly followed by a kiss to Max’s cheek. His hand reaches for the door handle, but Max leans back in and kisses him softly one more time.
Lewis laughs softly, “that’s two kisses, my love”. Max shrugs, “I hate missing my husband for a whole day”. Lewis rolls his eyes unable to hide a smile, “you know I miss you too, now let’s go”. Lewis opens the door.
Their bubble bursts. They get into separate cars and arrive at the track pretty much at the same time; not surprising when you leave the same place at the same time. Max grins softly at the camera pointed to him. He can’t help himself when he mentions of course the world champions are the first in.
Lewis texts him as soon as he’s alone. You couldn't help yourself could you. Max laughs softly ready the text. I will take any opportunity to humble our competition. Lewis laughs, even if he feels lost sometimes, wondering if Ferrari had been the right decision, Max would never fail to make him laugh. Max would never let him forget one day they will both be legends, maybe they already are now.
Lewis texts back a bunch of hearts and they probably mean all the wrong things, if he has to believe Lando and some of the rookies who keep popping up at their front door. Max sends back a selfie making a kissy face in his drivers room. Lewis stares at it until it’s time for his engineering meeting.
