Chapter Text
His phone blared the familiar tone of his alarm, it was his father's theme song made by that dutch EDM band. He groans as he turns on his bed trying to reach the phone.
“Kimi turn off your alarm for God's sake!” he heard the loud muffled voice of his dad from downstairs. He opened his eyes and sat up, finally turning his alarm off. He laid back down, opening his phone to check his socials.
A message pops up, he knew who it was
Papa
Papa: Happy Birthday mijn liefste ☺️
Kimi: Thanks Papa, how are you?
Papa: I'm fine, I should be asking you that
Kimi: How's your boyfriend?
Papa: Oh, Charles?
Kimi: Who else?
Papa: Yeah actually we broke up
Kimi: WHAT?!?
Papa: Yeah, it just didn't work out, he went back to Carlos
Kimi: WHAT ABOUT LEO 😭😭😭??
Papa: He took him, but hey at least the cats are here 😃
Kimi: No thanks 😒
Kimi: What about Oscar though?
Papa: Oscar will go with Charles, we'll co-parent him like what me and your dad did with you
Kimi: Awww, no more play dates then?
Papa: Both of you are adults schat
Kiml: So?? You said you'd co-parent him with uncle Charles but he's older than me!
Kimi: that's kinda not fair papa
Kimi: But will he come to my birthday
Papa: Yep
Kimi: YESSSSS
Papa: Anyway when will you come here?
Kimi: Later, dad will drive me to the airport
Papa: Ok that's good, send me your flight details, see you soon schat
By the time Kimi went down his dad was already in the living room reading some boring financial book of his. “Hey dad, what's for breakfast?”
“You mean lunch? It's 12:30 Kimi” Kimi heads to the kitchen spotting the lunch George had prepared.
“So dad...I know you and Papa don't talk a lot anymore except when you're in races but…will you come with me to Monaco?” Kimi asked in between bites.
George had moved back to King's Lynn with a younger Kimi after he and Max had split.
George looks up from his book, his glasses slightly slipping down from the bridge of his nose. “Why? I thought you wanted a few days with your papa alone for your birthday?”
“I do…but I'd like it if you were there too…please?” Kimi made sure to show his sweet puppy eyes that George always melts over.
“Kimi…. don't do that” Kimi then uses the wobbly lip tactic
“Kimi please don't…” Then Kimi used his ultimate ‘how to get his dad to agree to his stupid plan’ tactic. The whine and slouching technique.
Kimi slouches down from his seat in the kitchen while whining like a little boy. “Daaaaaad pleaseeeee…” Kimi was now crawling towards his dad in the living room with his pouty face. “Daaaad”
George sighs finally caving in while cupping his son's face “Jesus why'd you have to be cute like him”
“Like who?” Kimi furrowed his brows
“Nevermind” George ruffles his hair as he stood up heading to his own room.
“Sooo….does this mean you're coming with me?” Kimi smiled while giving George the puppy eyes again.
“Yes fine I'm going” George rubs the bridge of his nose.
Kimi stood up raising his hands in triumph shouting “YES! YES! FINALLY!”
Papa
Kimi: At the airport papa! I'm by the gate 😃
Papa: Yeah i see you
Papa: Wait, why is your dad with you?
Papa: Kimi?
Papa: Kimi i see you looking at your phone
Papa: Kimi
Papa: Kimi i know you're reading this
Papa: Kimi for God's sake
“I can't believe you convinced me to come with you” George says as he spots Max walking towards them, they've only ever seen each other in races but even then it's limited but seeing his ex wearing clothes other than his Redbull kit, it made his pants tighten.
“Kimi, you little rascal come here” Max pulled Kimi in a bear hug, squishing the boy. “Papa i can't…b-breathe” Max laughed as he let go squeezing his son's shoulders. He looked behind him to find George awkwardly standing with their bags.
“George…nice to see you” Max scratches the back of his neck “I thought Kimi was going here alone, I didn't realize you'd come”
“Well your son wanted me to come…ask him” George replied defensively. Both of them looked at Kimi who was smiling mischievously. “Cheeky bastard” George pinches his cheeks red.
“Aahhh da shtop” he grabs George's hands
Max laughs at the display making George freeze. “Fine, I think you've had enough” he says as he puts his hands down.
“Sooo….can we go now?” Kimi rubbed his cheeks looking between his parents, his smile wide.
“Come on then mijn schats, we have a long day ahead of us” Max took one of their bags at the same time as George, their hands touching briefly. A beat passes before George speaks.
“I can do this….Max, you just help Kimi with his” Max's name came natural on George's mouth, Max noted—it still felt sweet and warm.
“Uh yeah sure..”
Ollie 😚
Kimi: This was easier than I thought
Ollie: What's easier?
Kimi: Getting my parents back together duhh, you and Oscar were supposed to help me remember??
Ollie: Oh yea right, i forgot 😃
Kimi: 🤦♀️
Ollie: But have you ever wondered if it's weird we share the same brother and we're dating
Kimi: It's not, we're not related
Ollie: But like, we have the same brother
Kimi: Half brother, there's a difference
Ollie: But like it's so weird our parents were dating too
Kimi: You're the only one who thinks it's weird
Ollie: 🥺
Kimi: Will you be at my party though 🥺
Ollie: Of course I'll be, I asked my Maman and dad too, they said it's ok and to have fun but not too much fun whatever that means
Kimi: Beats me
Kimi: We're almost home btw!
Ollie: Don't tell your papa I told you but we actually set up a surprise for you
Kimi: Then it wouldn't be a surprise then 😀
Ollie: Oh….fuck
They reached Max's Fontvieille apartment a few minutes later. Kimi couldn't hide his excitement, making Max raise his brow. “Why are you so happy? We haven't even gotten inside yet?
“What? I'm just happy to be here, yeah that haha nothing else, haha” his voice shook but Max and George didn't push more as they reached the door.
George and Kimi heard shuffling from inside making Max groan. “Must be the cats—”
“Olllie you muppet that doesn't go there!” Oscar's muffled voice could be heard from inside. Both George and Kimi look at Max, George who looked confused while Kimi looked like he was going to blow.
Max sighs as he opens the door, all three head inside to find the whole living room decorated in birthday decorations, there were streamers and balloons everywhere and in the center was a three layered chocolate cake decorated in Redbull and Mercedes cars—of course it would, Kimi thought.
Around the cake—decorating the rest of the house was Oscar, Ollie, Lando, Daniel and even Alex.
“Oh…..uhh suprise?” Daniel let out a loud laugh as Ollie lunged at Kimi. George was caught off guard, stunned but was soon brought back by a warm hand on his.
He looked down to see Max gently holding his hand, rubbing circles in his palm like he used to do when George was pregnant with Kimi.
They both let go when Daniel came up to them, grabbing them by the necks in a hug.
“Don't just stand there! We have a party to start!” Daniel pulled the two with him. As the adults resumed fixing the decorations, Kimi and Ollie moved to the side.
“You get the feeling something's going to happen later?” Ollie whispered to Kimi.
“Don't jinx it, it's my birthday!” Kimi punched his shoulder but Ollie was right, Kimi did feel something was going to happen.....and it wasn't good.
