Summary
What he doesn't tell them is that he's kind of been avoiding his teammate. Not on purpose, not really, it's just every time Lando asks him to hang out, Oscar's heartbeat kicks in his chest and his palms get sweaty and he doesn't really know what to do in that situation so he tells him he's busy. Or when he sees him in the paddock talking to a fan and their eyes meet and Lando smiles at him, he immediately turns in the other direction.
It started a few weeks before the new season was to start. Oscar was at Lando's place for the day, which turned into staying the night and crashing on his couch, to a few days later the two of them realizing he just… never left. It wasn't much different then how they normally spent their breaks if he's being honest, but Lando… Lando was touching him. A lot.
It started small.

Summary
Oscar exhales loudly through his nose, working to set his face in a strict, flat expression. “What? No, you can’t look through my things.”
“Aw, why not?” A whine tears out of Lando’s mouth. His lips even form a little pout. “Please, Osc? You were such a cute kid! I want to see what cute little Oscar collected.”
“It’s not just from when I was a kid,” Oscar tries. “I mean, there’s stuff from school and karting and stuff.”
Lando scoffs a bit. “Ok, well, your mum sent it, so I know there’s not like your weird hentai in there or something. Well… maybe if she’s cool with the bottom eyes. But still, I wanna know what teen Oscar liked too.”
“Ok, I don’t watch hentai just because I learned Japanese, you freak,” Oscar says. “And even if I did, do you really think I would keep that as a keepsake?”
“Well, I can find out if you let me see what’s inside.”
-----
A box of Oscar's childhood keepsakes accidentally gets delivered to Lando's apartment. Somehow, this leads to Lando discovering the full extent of Oscar's fanboy era, watching Heated Rivalry together, getting over lost championships, and learning how to go from pining rivals/teammates to something more.Bookmarked by gregpiastri

Summary
Lando loved events like this enough to begin with, but the added excitement of having Oscar there, seeing him experience it all for the first time, had his heart racing just slightly faster than normal in his chest.
And, maybe reminding himself that this was Oscar's first rave was what planted the seed of what could easily be the stupidest decision he could possibly make.
But - Lando vividly remembered his first time being at a rave. One of his old mates pressing a pill into his palm with an easy grin, telling him to trust him. The music swallowing him whole. The warmth in his chest, how euphoric he'd felt, the impossibly perfect veil that seemed to drape over anything and everything.
He also remembered that he still had a couple of those same pills left hidden in his medicine cabinet that hadn't been touched since then.
Lando swallowed hard, spending a long couple minutes debating how stupid it would be to risk ruining his entire career, his entire life, really, to experience that again. With Oscar this time.

Summary
“I guess we should just pretend to date, then?” Lando says easily.
“What?” Oscar asks. “You’re not serious?”
“Um, yeah I am, mate,” Lando says. “C’mon. It’s not like we can erase the kiss from anyone’s mind or socials. And I don’t want Zak to think you’re like playing mind games with me. I mean, you’re not right?”
“No,” Oscar exclaims, shaking his head. “Of course not.”
“Then, we might as well just lean in, right?” Lando says. “You’d look crazy if we just pretended it was some weird accident.”
Well, Oscar probably is for kissing his teammate like that.
----
Oscar kisses Lando on the podium in front of the whole world. Which might be ok if they were dating. But they're not. Not even close. So now, they have to pretend to date to save both of their careers from Oscar's lapse in judgment. This means cute insta posts, joint interviews, the occasional public date, and shared hotel room.
It certainly doesn't mean exploring his newfound sexuality with his teammate. Or getting to know him on a deeper level. Or falling in love with him. All while leading the championship. Again.

Summary
“We should hook up,” Lando said. Blunt and matter of fact with the end of his pencil between his teeth. They were almost done with their engineering project. Or, more like, Oscar took over, and told Lando to start formatting their paper while he worked on the calculations. Lando was not pouting about it.
Oscar was focused on his notebook. He didn’t even look up at Lando. “Sure.”
Lando stared at him. He had the faint realization that Oscar’s response, or really the lack thereof, made something hot and bitter climb up his throat. “Did you even hear me?”
“Yes,” Oscar said. He finished writing, then finally turned his attention to Lando. His face gave nothing away.
(Alternatively: Lando and Oscar make a plan to hook up, but Oscar's room is a mess while Lando's feelings are a mess.)
