🎀🎀🎀

he knew he couldn't leave without asking her out on a date.

although shy, he did manage to ask her out which leads us to where we are today; lando and y/n's very first date.

the two 18 year olds sit on a hand knitted checkered blanket that they had laid down on the grass. a woven wicker picnic basket placed in the middle of the blanket stored all of the food and drinks that lando had prepared early in the morning.

"i hope you like lasagna, that's what i decided to cook." lando says as he takes out the tupperware full of lasagna and two plates from the basket.

y/n gasps excitedly, "it's my favorite food ever!"

lando mentally pats himself on the back, proud of himself for guessing correctly.

the two get to know each other as they eat the delicious homemade lasagna. lando talks about his racing career and y/n talks about her life as a new university student.

as she speaks, lando can't help but look at her with pure adoration, not knowing how he managed to meet the most incredible soul in the entire planet. the way she spoke so intelligently and how passionate she was when talking about her interests made him deeply admire her.

as lando spoke, y/n wondered what she did to deserve such a romantic and respectful young man, something she thought was rare to find these days. the way he opened the car door for her and complimented her in the most reverential ways made her insides feel like jelly, her heart nearly exploding.

after finishing their food, lando begins rummaging through the picnic basket again before pulling out a grey camcorder, showing it to y/n.

"holy shit! you have one of those?!" she exclaims as she stares at the vintage camera.

"yes ma'am, just bought it last week. i haven't filmed anything on it yet? would you mind being my muse?" he raises an eyebrow.

"go ahead," she giggles.

lando presses on some buttons on the camera before beginning to film the gorgeous picturesque scenery. he then points the camera at y/n, she smiles shyly.

"here i am with a beautiful girl named y/n y/l/n, on our first of many dates." lando speaks into the camera, y/n grins and nods along to his words.

he scoots closer to y/n, flipping the camera around so it could film the both of them. "we could show this footage to our future kids." he shrugged his shoulders, turning to look at her.

y/n could feel her cheeks heat up, she was sure the camera would pick up how red they were. "talking about kids on the first date, norris?" she tries to keep a cool demeanor, attempting to conceal the fact that she was going crazy on the inside.

"of course, i'm sure about us." he speaks confidently.

"so am i." y/n smiles.

lando stops recording and places the camera down, reaching for the fork on his plate wiping away any leftover sauce on it with a napkin.

he picks up the camera and the fork before walking towards a nearby tree, beckoning y/n to follow him. she blinks slowly, still processing what had just been recorded but manages to stand quickly and follow him.

"whatcha doing, lando?" she asks once she reaches where he is kneeling.

"this is a special day, we need to remember this." he shows y/n how to record on the camera, asking her if she could film what he was about to do.

she complies and films as he grasps the fork like a makeshift chisel, beginning to etch something into the tree's bark.

L.N. +

is what was revealed as he steps back from the tree, handing y/n the fork. "write your initials." he instructs with a small smile, making him look so adorable.

and so lando films y/n as she carves her own initials next to the plus sign, adding a little heart under the date, for good measure, she thought.

"this is so cute!" y/n says as she pulls away. "we have to visit this in a few years time." the two nod proudly at their work.

lando makes sure to film the finish product, happily smiling at the mark that they've made.

L.N. + (your initials)

the first kiss

tap tap tap.

y/n sits up in bed and begins to look around her room, wondering what could possibly be making such noise this late at night.

she reaches over and turns on the lamp that sat on her nightstand.

what she sees scares the living daylights out of her.

it was lando, wearing a black hoodie and grey sweatpants, tapping his finger on her window.

y/n shakes her head as she chuckles, quickly getting up from the bed and walking towards the window. as she opens it, she’s greeted with chilly air and a giggle from lando.

“what are you doing here, lando norris?” she questions the young boy.

it had been a few weeks since their first date and the two couldn’t get enough of each other. they had gone on some more dates and they texted and facetimed constantly, simply talking about their days or any random deep subject that came to their minds.

he shrugs his shoulders. “did i scare ya?”

“of course you did!” she laughs. “answer my question now.”

“sorry for scaring you,” he smiles sheepishly. “i just wanted to see you.” he confesses.

“sure, come on in, we just have to be quiet my parents are asleep.”

as she opens the window more to let lando in, he stops her. “actually, i was wondering if you’d like to go watch the stars with me.” he timidly says.

y/n grins at his words. “oh yes, of course! let me put on a jacket and my shoes.”

lando watches as she slips on a pink hoodie and her dirty white converse before she makes her way back to him.

with the help of him, y/n successfully managed to exit the window safely, avoiding any injuries big or small.

once she closes it, lando interlocks hands with her and leads her down the road, the street lights illuminating their path.

after a few minutes of walking, they finally made arrived at an empty field, where the stars were shining beautifully in the night sky, the full moon seemed to brighten up the field.

lando lays down on the grass, y/n following his lead.

“guess what i brought?” he speaks up after a few moments of silence.

“chocolate?” she crosses her fingers.

lando chuckles, “well yes that, i know how much you love it.” he pulls out a chocolate bar from the pocket of his sweatpants. she happily takes it and begins unwrapping it.

“but also this,” now he reaches into the pocket of his hoodie, taking out the very familiar camcorder.

y/n laughs as she sees it. “how fun, our kids are gonna know we were stargazing.”

“of course, they need to realize that we’re living like the romance movies.” lando continues the playful conversation.

the two continue staring up at the stars in awe, wondering how twinkling white specks could be so endearing and relaxing.

“i think you’re the most gorgeous star in the galaxy, y/n.” lando quietly says, looking over at her and admiring her beautifully sculpted side profile and her perfect plump lips, lips that she’s caught him staring at multiple times.

“you’re so cheesy, lan!” she giggles, attempting to hide how flustered she was.

lando flipped onto his side, facing y/n. she copies his actions and turns her body to watch him.

“i’m serious.” lando says, his eyes flickering down to her pink lips.

he feels himself begin to lean in and y/n can’t help but lean in too.

their lips meet in the middle, the two feel as if fireworks have erupted in their stomachs. hearts pounding in their chests as they finally take another step forward in their relationship.

lando forgets all about the stargazing. of course he would, when he’s got the most perfect star right in front of him.

breathlessly, they pull away, quickly missing the feeling of each others lips.

“oh my god, we just did that!” y/n exclaims as she stares into his eyes.

“hell yeah we did!” lando grins too.

he grabs the camcorder that he had left in between their bodies, pressing the record button and outstretching his arm to begin filming the both of them.

“guess who just kissed for the first time?!” he practically hollers, pulling y/n closer to his body.

“christ, lando!” y/n laughs as she buries her head into his chest, breathing in the smell of laundry detergent and cologne that lingered in his clothes.

“our kids need to know the very day when their parents first kissed.” he claims before stopping the recording and setting the camera down.

the two couldn’t keep their lips off of each other and there under the night sky adorned with scintillating stars, they find their own celestial connection.

the first time moving in together

“this is the new apartment!” y/n exclaims as she opens the front door and films the interior of the stunning apartment, located in the breathtaking city of monte-carlo, monaco.

lando and y/n decided it was time to officially live together after three years of dating. they had been pretty much living together at each others apartments back in the uk, but now they wanted a single place to call home.

lando had brought up the idea of moving to monaco, claiming it was more convenient for racing along with the amazing weather and city life. after researching the country and the university, y/n agreed to moving with him.

lando walks in behind her, a little puppy cradled in his arms.

she was a tan cocker spaniel named betty that the couple adopted at a local animal shelter. her sweet gaze behind the kennel bars immediately caught their eye and they knew they couldn’t leave without her.

“this is your new home, betty-boo.” lando says gently as he places the puppy down, she runs down the hallway and begins exploring the place, y/n making sure to film her.

lando takes the camera from y/n’s hands, recording her as she walks into the kitchen.

“look how big it is in here! imagine all of the things i can bake!” she claps her hands excitedly.

betty runs into the kitchen after hearing all of the commotion, barking happily at y/n’s enthusiasm.

lando places the camera down on the kitchen island before opening one of the boxes that had been placed on the floor. he pulls out two wine glasses and an expensive looking wine bottle.

“charles had gifted me wine this past race,” lando informs y/n as she stares, mesmerized at the pretty bottle. “he said that it was a ‘welcome home wine’, and i somewhat trust his taste in alcohol.” he shrugs as he pours the red wine into the glasses, sliding one of them towards y/n.

he reaches for the record button, pressing it and making sure y/n and betty, whom she had picked up from the floor, were in frame.

“here’s to a new chapter in our lives, baby.” lando says as he raises his glass.

“i hope to keep turning pages with you, lan.” the two smile lovingly at each other before clinking their glasses and taking a sip, a look of amazement on both of their faces at the rich tasting beverage.

“i love you.” lando says before pressing a long and tender kiss on y/n’s lips. “you too, little muppet.” he scratches behind betty’s ears, she cheerfully licks his palm.

“i love you too.” y/n sighs contentedly. “now we need to decorate and make this place feel like home!” she places the puppy down on the floor before skipping towards the entrance hallway, where the rest of the boxes were set down.

the camera manages to capture the way lando watches her adoringly. he had adopted a new puppy and moved into a new apartment in a new city, all with the love of his life by his side. in his mind, he already found his happily ever after.

the wedding day

to say that both lando and y/n were nervous is an understatement.

today was the officially their wedding day, the one day they looked forward to the most when they were those young 18 year olds on their very first date together.

y/n picks up the well known camcorder, pressing record and filming her professionally done hair and makeup.

she lets out a deep breath, “i’m so excited but so nervous at the same time.” she says to the camera as she films her ethereal white dress in the mirror. the dress stunningly made of ivory silk and lace fits her body perfectly, making her look like a goddess. delicate, beaded embroidery adorns the dress, shimmering like diamonds in the light.

“lan, i know you’ll be watching this footage back and i just wanted to say that i love you so very much and i’m the luckiest girl in the entire world to be marrying such an amazing man.” she blows a quick kiss to the camera before shutting it off.

she passes the camera off to lily, oscar’s girlfriend and one of her bridesmaids, asking if she could please take it to where lando currently was.

lily fulfills y/n’s wishes and successfully gives the camera to lando in the room where he was getting ready.

lando stands confidently as films his perfectly tailored suit. the jacket skims his broad shoulders, accentuating his strong physique. the crisp white shirt contrast elegantly with the suit’s dark hue, the tie adding a splash of color, drawing attention to his bright smile.

“holy fuck, i can’t wait to see her.” he grins at the camera, showing just how eager he was. “who would’ve thought little lando norris would be marrying the most amazing woman in the universe?” he chuckles as he straightens out his tie.

a knock is heard on the door. “fuck, okay, it’s time!”

the camera is passed to lando’s mom, cisca, and luckily, she perfectly filmed y/n being walked down the aisle by her parents. cisca also catches a few seconds of lando wiping his teary eyes.

soon come the vows, the part that lando and y/n have been waiting for the most.

lando starts with his vows first. “y/n y/l/n, from the day i saw you in that little old coffee shop, i thought you were the most beautiful woman to ever exist. luckily, i didn’t chicken out and i asked you out on a date, sure i was awkward but it was worth it. on that very first date, i knew i wanted to marry you.” he clears his throat and wipes his wet cheeks.

“your sense of humor, your taste in music, your kindness, and just you being yourself made me fall harder and harder for you. i couldn’t have asked for anyone better, thank you for putting up with me and my hectic lifestyle for over seven years now. you’ve been my rock, my shoulder to cry on, the person i can count on the most when times get rough. i promise to love and adore everything about you for as long as i’m alive. we’re doing it, angel, we’re finally getting married and i can’t wait to spend the rest of my life making memories with you. you are my forever home, my soulmate, and my everything, let’s grow old together, my love.”

y/n quickly composes her crying self before clearing her throat and beginning her vows.

“lando norris, from day one, you have been the most respectful man i have ever met. when you carved our initials into that special tree in the park, i knew you were the one. you’ve showed me love and affection that i have never in my life experienced and i thank you so much for that. i promise to continue supporting you in any possible dream that you have just like you have supported mine all these years. i will stand by your side through all of life’s joys and challenges, to laugh with you, cry with you, and build a life that will be full of so much love and adventures. i will always love you without condition. you make me a better person. i love you now, and i will love you forever. as you said, let’s grow old together and allow our souls to stay forever young.” she finishes her vows, the couple wiping their cheeks wet with so many tears of happiness.

next, the rings are exchanged. cisca makes sure to zoom in on the beautiful bands that gleam with a luminous polish, symbolizing their everlasting love and commitment.

“you may now kiss the bride.” the officiant says when all is said and done.

lando has zero hesitation in cupping y/n’s face in his hands and smashing his lips against hers. finally, kissing his wife.

“ladies and gentlemen, please meet mr. and mrs. norris!”

y/n and lando walk down the aisle hand in hand, their eyes crinkling as they grin brightly at everyone who sat in the crowd and joined them on such a special day.

short bits of the rest of the party were filmed until the couple could finally plop down onto their hotel bed once the night had come to an end.

the two were showered and in their pj’s by the time lando picks up the camcorder from the nightstand, filming both him and y/n as they lay in bed.

“how’re you feeling after this amazing day?” lando says with a smug smile on his lips.

“i’m feeling great, how are you feeling?” y/n giggles as he agrees with her words

lando presses a chaste kiss to her lips, “i truly can’t wait to grow old with you, mrs. norris.”

y/n reciprocates the kiss, “and i can’t wait to grow old with you, mr. norris.”

betty comes running in from the other room, jumping onto the bed and snuggling into her parents.

the newlywed couple laughs and kiss the dog’s head before falling asleep, pure happiness radiating off of all three of their bodies.

and the small one growing inside of y/n…

finding out y/n is pregnant

y/n hadn't been feeling good at all, her stomach was not happy with her for some unknown reason.

it was so bad to the point where the honeymoon had to be cut a few days short due to y/n not feeling the best.

she felt extremely bad for being the reason that they couldn't enjoy the honeymoon completely, but with lando's understanding and reassurance, she somewhat felt better.

so, she did what her gut was telling her to do, and that was take a pregnancy test.

lando was at a meeting with the team, doing some testing and talking about some potential upgrades for the car. it was the perfect opportunity for y/n to take the test.

she sets the familiar camcorder down onto the bathroom counter, deciding that, if she was pregnant, it would be cute to capture the moment on camera and show her child when they were older.

"okay, so i just did what i needed to do with the test," y/n says into the camera as she sets a timer on her phone. "i'm really excited, i honestly want it to come out positive." she grins.

she hears a light scratching at the bathroom door, quickly knowing who it was, she opens up the door for betty.

y/n picks her up from the ground. "you ready to see if mommy is going to be a human mommy, betty-boo?" she coos at the dog, kissing her head a few times.

as she does that, the timer on her phone goes off, indicating that it was time to find out if she was pregnant or not.

"okay betty, you look first," y/n shuts her eyes to show betty first, and while betty didn't pay much attention to the test, it's the thought that counts.

she exhales, "okay, my turn, my turn. three, two, one..." she opens her eyes, the test showing the word 'pregnant' clearly.

y/n gasps loudly, tears immediately filling her eyes. "betty i am going to be a human mommy!" she exclaims as betty licks at the salty tears on her cheeks, y/n puts her down quickly after.

she shows the camera the pregnancy test, covering her mouth with her hand as she cries into it. it was pure happiness, no sad tears coming from her.

"oh my god, i can't wait to tell lando!"

she stops recording and runs to the small storage closet in the closet, pulling out the photo book that her and lando created when they first started dating. throughout the years, they've filled it with all kinds of pictures and memorable items. the most recent pictures were from their, short, but lovely honeymoon.

y/n places the pregnancy test into one of the pockets in the continuing page from the one they had just finished before closing it up.

finally, after three hours of y/n buzzing with excitement, lando arrives home. she greets him with a long and sweet kiss to his lips.

"i'm gonna go shower, then we can order some pizza and continue watching love island, yeah?" lando says against her lips, causing her to nod her head.

"i have something to show you after your shower." y/n says which causes lando to gasp.

"ooh, a surprise, how exciting!" he exclaims. y/n laughs and slaps his butt as he walks to their shared bedroom.

lando looks back with a cheeky smile, winking at her.

y/n shakes her head as she giggles. she sets the camcorder up behind the tv, making sure it would perfectly get the two of them in frame before grabbing the photo book from the kitchen counter and sitting on the couch to wait for lando.

he quickly comes walking out of the bedroom in comfortable clothing, his slightly wet curly hair drips small droplets onto his white shirt.

betty jumps onto the couch as soon as lando plops down next to y/n. "i just ordered the food. what did you want to show me, beautiful?" he pulls betty closer to his side, beginning to scratch her belly.

"i added some more things to our book, take a look at it." she places the photo book onto his lap.

lando retracts his hand from betty's body and starts to flip to the page where they last left off at. he pauses as soon as he sees the pregnancy test, turning to look at y/n.

"you're lying, angel!" he says, a look of shock on his face.

y/n shakes her head, biting her lip. "i'm not lying, i promise. i just took the test today."

"holy shit!" he throws the book on top of the coffee table, before pulling y/n onto his lap. she was now straddling him as he wraps his arms around her waist, hers instinctively going around his neck.

"we're going to be human parents!" he exclaims into her neck, pressing a quick kiss to it.

"i know, my love." y/n pulls away from the hug to kiss his lips, he practically melts into her lips, sighing contentedly.

“ha!” y/n cackles. “we were probably in this position making the baby.” she rubs her stomach.

“fuckin, hell, y/n!” lando groans as he throws his head back to laugh.

showing their kids the footage

fourteen years have passed since y/n and lando’s wedding, the couple now reaching 40 years of age.

fourteen years have passed since their daughters were born.

it turns out that y/n was having twin girls during her first pregnancy. their names were nadia and nailea. the two girls were extremely easy to care for as babies and even now as teenagers, they haven’t caused y/n and lando much trouble.

because the two girls were such a breeze to raise, they decided to have another baby once the girls were four years old. he was a boy named, malachi.

malachi wasn’t bratty or a bad kid, no. he was just extremely chaotic, somehow always managing to hurt himself and never seeming to run out of energy.

lando noticed that it wasn’t going to be easy for y/n to raise such an energetic kid alone while he was away for races, so he made the decision to retire from formula one at the age of 36.

on top of that, he simply wanted to spend more time with his family. after missing so many of his kids milestones because he was away racing, he realized that he didn’t want to leave them anymore.

“mom, can you tell me what you and dad’s first date like?” nadia asks as she eats her dinner at the kitchen island, her green eyes, that she got from her father, sparkle with curiosity.

y/n chuckles as she finishes wiping down the counter, recalling all of the memories her and lando have made. “well, sweetie, i don’t have to tell you, i can just show you.”

nadia furrows her eyebrows. nailea, who sits besides her sister, also looks at her mother with confusion.

“you know that super old camcorder that we have, the one that we use to film you guys sometimes?” y/n asks as she covers the pot on the stove with its lid.

“oh yeah!” the twins say at the same time.

“your dad and i have had that thing since we were eighteen years old.” y/n explains, laughing at their eyes going extremely wide.

“eighteen?!” nailea exclaims. “that was years ago!”

“what was years ago?” lando asks as he walks through the front door of the house, malachi being carried on his back.

the two girls jump from their seat, greeting their dad who had just come back from playing golf with his friend carlos; someone who he had raced alongside with and remained good friends even after both of their retirements.

“i told them that we’ve had the camcorder since we were eighteen.” y/n explains as she walks over to lando, kissing his lips.

“oh yeah! that thing’s been through a lot, i’m genuinely surprised it still works.” lando exclaims as he sets malachi down, he quickly runs to the living room

“can we watch all of the footage?” nadia asks as she sits back down on the counter stool.

“sweetheart, it’s hours of footage.” lando tells her as he makes his way to the stove, grabbing a plate to serve himself food.

“that’s okay! it’s summer, dad. it’s not like we have school tomorrow.” nailea gives her best puppy dog eyes, something that neither y/n and lando can say ‘no’ to.

“fine, let me eat dinner and shower, okay?” the two girls squeal before washing their dirty dishes and making their way to the living room.

“guess we’ll be rewatching our life together, my love.” lando smiles. “fuck, this is good.” he exclaims as he eats some of the food.

y/n giggles, “thank you, lan. and yes, we will be rewatching our life together, i’m surprised we haven’t done this sooner.”

an hour later, the family of five was gathered around the living room. lando had done some technical stuff to get the tapes to play on the tv. neither y/n nor the kids knew what he did to achieve that, but it wasn’t very important, they cared about the footage.

“okay, you guys ready?” lando asks as his finger hovers the play button on the controller.

he heard a chorus of ‘yes!’ before pressing down on the button.

the first video comes up, the date marking ‘07/09/2019’, it was the day of their very first date.

“oh my god! 2019?! that was billions of years ago!” malachi exclaims from his place on the couch. the family giggles at the ten year old’s words.

“that tree engraving is so cute.” nadia says.

the videos continue changing, until they reach the one about their first kiss.

“guess who just had their first kiss?!” lando’s holler comes from the tv, the twins laugh the hardest out of everyone.

“dad, you really haven’t changed.” nailea says, her attention still on the screen. lando can’t help but smile at his daughter’s words, at least they found him amusing.

a video of the sweet cocker spaniel puppy soon pops up, y/n and lando pouted. “oh, little betty-boo.” y/n says sadly. unfortunately, betty had passed away from old age a few years back and y/n and lando have never thought about getting another dog since.

“hey, i remember her!” nadia gasps. luckily, the twins did get to meet the dog, but it was in her final years.

lando and y/n quickly wipe their tears away as the footage of their wedding day appears.

“you looked so gorgeous that day, i’m so lucky to have married you.” lando whispers into y/n’s ear, causing her to smile and kiss his cheek.

“oh my god! the vows were so cute!” nadia cries into her hands, she had always been the most emotional out of the three kids.

nailea quickly wraps an arm around her shoulders. lando and y/n watch proudly at how fast nailea is at consoling her twin sister.

the video of y/n finding out she was pregnant for the first time plays next, everyone coos at betty who appeared on the screen.

“ha! we were probably in this position making the baby.” y/n’s cackle is heard from the tv. her eyes immediately widen, forgetting she ever said that.

lando snorts right next to her, she hides her face in her hands.

“wait what’s so funny?” sweet little malachi’s voice speaks up.

“nothing, my love, just ignore it.” y/n quickly says, causing lando to laugh even harder now.

as the videos of the kids’ life start appearing, the three slowly fall asleep. they were seemingly more interested in learning about their parents life before them than they were over footage of them as babies.

“look at the life we’ve built together.” lando squeezes y/n’s shoulders as he speaks quietly.

“i can’t believe how far we’ve come.” she looks up at her husband, the love and adoration in their eyes remains the same even after so many years together.

“i love you so much.” she whispers.

“i love you more.” he kisses the lips of the love of his life.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

30 years later…

lando and y/n continued to love each other for so many more years.

their kids had grown up, starting families of their own and living in different places around the world.

the couple decided to move back to the uk, deciding that it was much more calm and peaceful here than monaco.

they lived in a small cozy house, near the park where they had they first date, decades ago.

y/n sits at the round dining table, flipping through the pages of the photo book of their life together.

lando walks into the dining room, his walk a little slower but still as cheerful as when he was a youngster.

“what are you looking at, my darling wife?” he asks as he sees his wife flipping through something.

“just the book of us.” y/n says as she looks up at her lovely husband.

lando’s face was a map of their journey together, every line and wrinkle was a testament to the laughter, tears and adventures they’ve shared. his once curly dark brown hair was now silver and wispy, it continues to frame his face with a distinguished grace. yet in y/n’s eyes, he continues being the most handsome man ever, his elder face was a reflection of the beauty and depth of their love.

“oh wow.” he whispers in amazement at the pictures of their young selves. “what if we visit that park, huh?”

y/n gasps, “yes, we must!” she slowly stands from the chair, grabbing her knitted sweater from the hook on the wall.

the elder couple make their way to the park. the walk should be a short one, however it was hard to be quick at their age.

when they finally arrive, lando immediately makes his way to the special tree, holding on to y/n’s hand so she can follow closely behind him.

“do you think our engraving would still be here?” he asks as he reaches the tree that holds so much importance to them.

“let’s hope it is.” y/n smiles.

to their surprise, the engraving is still perfectly intact.

y/n inhales shakily, “it’s still here.” her voice cracks as tears begin welling in her eyes.

“oh my...” lando lets out a deep breath, he can’t help the tears that also fill his eyes.

memories of their life together, from when they were tiny eighteen year olds to now in their seventies, come flashing through their minds. so much devotion and happiness shared between them. of course, there were a few bad parts but any problem was resolved by the power of their love and respect.

“we did it, sweet girl, we grew old together.” lando says as he wraps and arm around y/n’s shoulder and pulls her closer to his side, the two couldn’t seem to shift their gaze from the engraving.

“we did, lan. we grew old together.”

lando presses a kiss to y/n’s gray hair.

the single kiss shows the love he always had and will have for her. it was also a thank you for such an amazing life, and demonstrating what true love is.

y/n kisses his cheek.

the kiss is her saying thank you for being such a kind and respectful gentleman. a thank you for always showering her with love and affection all of her life.

sure, many people would want to stay forever young,

but to lando and y/n, growing old together was always their goal and they’ve accomplished it.

the two lived their happily ever after.
