let the mice drive

The race ended, and it poured down. Oscar sighed, and tapped his foot along in the debrief; calculating lost downforce and tyre wear that went through the roof the moment that part of his floor went flying into the aether. It was what it was, shit, but he couldn't rage about it now, not unless Charles volunteered his teeth for Oscar to knock out.

Umbrellas went up to shield them from the pouring rain, and, as if attracted by the unfurling of a canopy, he has a lanky body next to his. George still has a straw firmly between his teeth. He considers Oscar.

"Torture city for us, eh?" He raises his bottle a little.

"Lando." Oscar sighed. He took one tentative step closer to Lando, trapping him between the fence and a hard gaze. "You're a sweet kid, really. You're bright and funny and charming. Undeniably good-looking, of course, and I'd be lying if I said I hadn't noticed that."

That smile from earlier etched its way back onto his face, and Lando reached out to touch Oscar. Fingertips brushing over bare forearms, and oh, Oscar's skin was so warm. "I'd be lying if I said I don't like hearing that," he replied cheekily, tilting his head back against the fence to look up at Oscar.

"But."

"No buts." Desperately, Lando's hands reached further up, clawing into Oscar's shirt and pulling him closer. "We don't need buts. You fancy me, I fancy you, this is perfect!"

Oscar resisted the pull. Grabbed Lando's wrists in two gentle but firm holds and pulled the hands away from his shoulders. "Unfortunately, there are buts whether you need them or not, Lando. You're very sweet, and I really appreciate this, but I'm 38 years old, kid. And how old are you again?"

reblog if you believe anon is wrong and writers are writers, no matter what they write about. no matter how they portray these taboo topics.

reblog if you believe art can be about topics that are controversial, taboo or outright disturbing, and artists who create controversial, taboo or outright disturbing art are as valid as artists who create art of conservative values.
