how to break every time travel rule in under 5 minutes (lando norris edition)

Summary:

Life is good. Lando Norris has retired 5 years ago, he has 4 championships to his name and most importantly, a perfect husband he could ever dream of.

Too bad said husband doesn’t know any of this. He thinks Lando is just making fun of him to win a bet. The year is 2026, not 2039, right? And time travel is not possible.

It’s time to bring out the big weapons, the group chat, to help him prove he’s not going insane and that he has not accidentally appeared in one of his biggest dreams, in a world where he’s married to Lando.

Notes:

This story is not a continuation of any previous ones so you can read it alone!

Apparently, I only get inspired to write when I need to do some things for school. So please enjoy and pray for me cuz I only got one day to write my whole bachelor thesis due to my procrastination 🙂

I only wanted to write simp Lando, I don't actually know what has this become 😭

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

Lando:

i woke up in our bed and you were gone

Oscar:

Lando:

Oscar:

Lando:

Oscar:

you’re not driving any car either anymore

Oscar:

Lando:

Oscar:

my first season was in 2023

Lando:

love, it’s 2039

Oscar:

no, the fuck it’s not??

let me get some help cuz I’m going crazy

 

business chat (george said)

Oscar:

I think something’s wrong with Lando

Max:

oh, you finally noticed

Carlos:

took you long enough

Ollie:

who are you and what did you do to the real Oscar

cuz he would NEVER speak about him like this

Charles:

I find it suspicious too

Kimi:

he must have done something really deranged to make Oscar react like this

Isack:

maybe he killed someone

Kimi:

no way

my guess would be Max but he texted here like 2 minutes ago

Max:

why me mf ??

George:

we all know why

you’re the on and off track bully

Max:

I’m the bully when your whole team is literally a terrorist organization??

people know who the real bullies are

Carlos:

@Oscar what’s up with him?

did he eat fish?

if yes, that’s not Lando but some clone

Max:

was he on a simulator and after the first turn still p1?

that’s not Lando either

George:

not a bully my ass

Charles:

maybe he just means Lando does not look good

Kimi:

HE would never say that

Lando could look like a homeless person and Oscar would still give him heart eyes

Oscar:

he keeps calling me love, sweetheart and baby

Carlos:

George:

Ollie:

omg the day has finally come

Isack:

event of the century

Charles:

did he really??

Max:

no way

real Lando Norris would NEVER

CLONE CLONE CLONE

Kimi:

confessing to his crush after 100 years

Oscar:

no, I’m like 99% sure he’s either drunk or high

he thinks it’s 2039

Max:

typical Lando

George:

what drugs is he doing

Lando:

guys please tell him that i’m right

he’s hallucinating

he thinks he’s still driving for mclaren

Carlos:

don’t know how to respond to this without losing my brain cells

Max:

@Lando what is 2+2

Lando:

4

Max:

yeah, there’s definitely something wrong with his head

George:

@Max why don’t you actually help us understand the situation instead of being an ass

Max:

why don’t you actually compete against Ferrari instead of just whining after the race about “dirty” driving?

George:

okay, be like this as much as you want

however, some of us have real things to do so please, kindly fuck off

Max:

I also do have real things to do

George:

please, enlighten me

Max:

bts dropped new album yesterday

so I’m streaming

Kimi:

bye not another fake new army

name 3 times jhope mentioned sprite

Ollie:

twitter is dragging that album

Oscar:

thank you so much for your help, guys

am I the only sane person in this chat?

Carlos:

@Lando and who do you think Oscar is driving for?

Lando:

no one, we retired about 5 years ago

Ollie:

what

I have seen you in the paddock yesterday

Lando:

literally how

I was at home with my husband the whole day

Ollie:

no I remember it vividly

Oscar was wearing the slutty shorts again

he dropped something, picked it up

and you got a boner

I remember almost killing myself on the spot after witnessing that

Lando:

thats DOES a lot sound like me

Kimi:

oh my god please stop

I don’t want to even imagine it

Charles:

so no one’s gonna go back to what Lando said?

he was with his husband??

Lando:

yeah, i was with oscar

what’s weird about that

Max:

@Oscar did you forget to tell us something?

Oscar:

that’s what I was talking about !!

he thinks we’re married and live together

Max:

fake it ‘till you make it

Carlos:

maybe he’s from the future

George:

yeah, Carlos, cuz things like this happen all the time

he’s probably just trying to play Oscar into dating him

@Lando please confess like a normal person

Lando:

I already did??

after I won my second championship

Max:

mf just straight up lying

Kimi:

you can barely even start the the race, my guy

Oscar:

sensitive topic

Kimi:

sorry, Oscar

Charles:

I’m starting to believe the time travel theory

Carlos is onto something

George:

yeah, on some cocaine

@Lando look, drop the act rn and we gonna pretend this never happened

Lando:

you win championship

George:

now we can talk

Max:

NOOOOO

I used to pray against times like these

@Lando now me

tell me something about my future

Charles:

guys, this is like violating every rule in the book

have you ever seen any time travel movie??

Lando:

you win championship too

Charles:

oh my god, what year

Carlos:

@Lando so you and Oscar are really married in your universe?

Lando:

yes, how many times do i have to say that

i woke up today and he was gone

Max:

@Oscar I can’t believe you actually let him fuck you

and even married him

Oscar:

obviously I’m not the one getting fucked

Lando:

Max:

Charles:

Kimi:

Carlos:

Oscar:

oh my god, I am???

Ollie:

@Lando wait, if you’re here does that mean younger Lando is texting with older us rn??

Lando:

NO

he’s gonna try to seduce my oscar

I need to go back immediately

Charles:

what’s the problem

you’re literally the same person if I understand it correctly

Lando:

no, you don’t get it

older oscar is hot as fuck and i know myself

if i saw older oscar when i was younger i would most definitely try to fuck him

that twink is not fucking my husband

Carlos:

@Oscar at least you know your future husband is really gonna be in love with you

Oscar:

I think I’m still sleeping

this is not happening

Charles:

that’s kinda romantic ngl

Max:

never happening to you btw

Charles:

never living to the expectations of your father btw

Max:

not winning in a Ferrari for 2 straight years btw

Charles:

losing the championship by 2 points btw

Kimi:

here we go again

George:

PLEASE

just one day without this shit

just one

Carlos:

can you please do this in your private chat

Ollie:

your flirting is obnoxious

and I’m pretty sure you’re doing it wrong

you’re supposed to say nice things about each other

Isack:

they’re currently going through their enemies phase

Ollie:

my parents would never

Lando:

@Max @Charles IM CRYING

drop the act already

please

this is embarrassing

Max:

yeah Leclerc, you’re embarrassing

Charles:

remind me who started this 5 minutes ago

Lando:

great things are happening to you two in the future

Charles:

does he die??

Lando:

something much better

Charles:

my god, am I gonna be the one killing him???

can’t wait

Max:

hardly with that red tractor

Charles:

sweetheart, I’m already in the first turn by the time you’re still trying to start the car

Max:

please remind me who’s the last winner for Ferrari??

Carlos:

TAKE THEIR PHONES AWAY

Lando:

flirting at its finest

Max:

@Oscar come collect you husband

he’s talking nonsense again

Oscar:

he’s not my husband

Lando:

of course i am

i promise you, young lando is dreaming about this every night

sometimes even during the day

what year you said it is now, 2026?

you were quite sexy in that year with that longer hair

i did some embarrassing things because of that, yeah

George:

when did you NOT do embarrassing things because of your crush on Oscar?

Lando:

valid

Kimi:

@Lando you think you ever gonna go back to the future?

Lando:

I HAVE TO

i’m not letting younger me have his fun with my man

Kimi:

he’s probably flirting with him as we speak

Carlos:

losing his mind over older Oscar

Max:

probably even touching himself over all the photos he found in your phone

Lando:

I NEED TO GO BACK ASAP

Charles:

@Oscar you and Lando are gonna be freaky af

Oscar:

are you jealous?

Lando:

don’t be, some other driver cannot wait to do the same things to you

i won’t say names tho

Carlos:

as if it’s not clear enough

Kimi:

watch these idiots act stupid

Max:

@Lando which one?

I need to laugh in that idiot’s face

Lando:

Oscar:

George:

Ollie:

Kimi:

@Max go look in the mirror then
