Summary:

Arvid and Dino have been inseparable since their days at PREMA.

Now, Arvid is racing in Formula 1 while Dino is still fighting his way through Formula 2, but being in different championships has never stopped them from staying close. Between race weekends, university, and the chaos of life in the paddock, they've always found their way back to each other.

They're the kind of friends who come as a package deal. Everyone knows that if you find one, the other probably isn't far away.

Their friendship has survived different championships, endless teasing, more than a few questionable decisions, and even helping Kimi and Ollie find their way from friendship to something more.

And they've never needed anything more than that.

At least, that's what they tell themselves.

Because somewhere between the late-night conversations, shared laughs, unexpected visits, and years of knowing each other, something begins to change.

Neither Arvid nor Dino is quite sure when their friendship started feeling different.

But maybe the person who's been beside you all along can become the person you never expected to fall for.
