Chapter Text
In a state of shock, Oscar had been guided to sit on the edge of the bed, Landos hands gripping either side of his body as he directed his frozen form to sit down. Oscar could have sworn his entire body turned to jelly just from feeling Landos hands on him. He sat with a thud, eyes never leaving Landos.
Oscar had never seen Lando this nervous as he stood in front of Oscar, shifting from one foot to the other as he idly fiddled with a bracelet that was no doubt given to him by a fan, he couldn't quite make out what the beaded letters said but he noted how pretty Landos decorated wrists looked. Oscar couldn't bring himself to speak, hands starting to sweat as he wiped them on his jeans awkwardly. Lando looked about 3 seconds away from passing out.
"I-" Lando began, but couldn't quite find the words he was searching for. Frustratedly, he let out a groan, plopping himself down beside Oscar, but not close enough that they were touching. Oscar almost wanted to shimmy closer but his body seemed to have shut itself down. Only now, did Oscar realise that Lando was shaking.
"Are you okay?" Oscar asked, desperately wanting to reach a hand out to touch Lando with the intention of calming him down, but he just couldn't will his body to listen to his brain.
That's when Lando turned his head to look at Oscar, eyes welling up with tears as his lip wobbled slightly in an effort to avoid crying. Oscar's eyes widened in alarm.
"Are you okay, Lando?" He repeated, except this time his body finally decided to kick into gear as he reached a hand out to cup under Landos jaw. Lando seemed to lean into the touch, sighing lightly.
"It's just- this is so stupid" He whispered, closing his eyes as he let Oscar hand rest on his face.
"What's stupid?" Oscar asked, shuffling closer to allow his other hand to cup Landos face aswell. Lando let out a shaky breath, eyes still screwed shut and hands clasped together in his lap.
"I-" He began, body still shaking as it was before. Oscar felt a pang in his heart at not being able to subdue Landos anxiety.
Oscar stayed silent, letting Lando decide what he wanted to say uninterrupted despite the achingly long moment of silence. Lando took a large inhale of breath before shooting his eyes open abruptly to look at Oscar. Oscar noticed that Landos eyes were still glassy, but the tears were no longer threatening to fall down his rosy cheeks.
"I like you" Lando said hurriedly, as if he didn't want Oscar to hear it. Oscar was confused for a moment, of course Lando liked him, they were teammates...he was just about to voice his thoughts before it clicked for him, with Lando staring at him with big eyes as he worried his bottom lip between his teeth expectantly.
"Oh..." Oscar said, almost hitting himself for not thinking of something less lame to say. Lando flinched slightly at the response, breath hitching.
"I-if you don't feel the same..." Lando started but Oscar cut him off immediately, surging forward to connect their lips in a kiss. Oscar swallowed the startled gasp that came from Lando whose hands were now gripping tightly onto Oscar's shirt. Oscar could barely breathe as he felt Landos lips against his own, teeth nipping at Landos bottom lip in an encouraging manner. Lando opened his mouth with a pleased hum, letting Oscar kiss him how he wanted.
When they pull away for air, Landos eyes were wild and his cheeks were a dark shade of red, Oscar doubted he himself looked much different as he panted for breath, hands still connected to Landos face.
"I like you too" Oscar said, letting a soft smile span itself across his face. Lando seemed to let out a sigh of relief as he pulled Oscar by his shirt, forcing him on top of Lando who had tried to shuffle himself backwards on the bed to lay down.
Lando ended up flat on his back, hands still fisted in the Aussies shirt as Oscar lay on top of him, legs on either side of Landos waist, keeping him trapped below him. Lando looked up at him, blatant intention in his eyes as he ran his tongue along his lip seductively. Oscar let out a light laugh.
"You don't have to do that you know?" He said, swiping a thumb over Landos, now damp, lips. Lando took his thumb in his mouth briefly but let it go almost immediately.
"Do what?" He asked, feigning innocence. Oscar had to admire the confidence Lando had in every situation he was in.
"Lando...I'd burn down the whole world for you, no matter what you ask me to do, I'll do it" Oscar said, potentially a little too passionately. Lando broke eye contact and turned his head to the side, a blatant flush spanning down his neck.
"D-don't say things like that" He stuttered, a small chuckle escaping his lips. Oscar leaned in to place a kiss on his neck, one of Landos hands immediately going to grab the nape of Oscar's neck.
Lando let his other hand drift down Oscar's torso, pulling at the hem of Oscar's shirt. The Aussie took the hint as he pulled back to get rid of the garment. Lando did the same, shimmying out of his own polo before throwing it somewhere to be found at a later date, much like the many socks that lay around the room.
"Do you want to...?" Lando asked, looking back at Oscar, eyes a little unsure. Oscar blinked at him disbelievingly.
"Is that even a question?" Oscar asked as he made a move to unbutton Landos jeans. Lando went with him, immediately pulling Oscar by the waistband of his trousers to unbuckle his belt. They made quick work of it, the pair of them now in nothing but their boxers.
Lando was blinking up at Oscar through his lashes, cheeks all rosy and eyes sparkling.
"Um...there's condoms and lube in that drawer" He said, a little embarrassed as he pointed towards the small desk that was tucked into the corner of the room. Oscar leant down, planting a quick kiss on Landos warm cheeks which did nothing to help the glowing blush.
Minutes seemed to pass like seconds, all that Oscar could see was Lando, the background nothing but a blur as he was pushing into him. Lando locked his arms around Oscar's neck, pulling him in for another kiss as the younger bottomed out, pushing his hips until he was fully inside. Oscar swallowed the pained whimper that Lando unwillingly let escape.
Oscar was panting, cock twitching inside the tight heat of Lando. Lando looked up at him, face scrunched up in pain but eyes pleading for more.
"Are you alright? Is this okay?" Oscar questioned, resting his forehead on Landos. Lando let out another soft noise in response.
"Just- give me a minute" Lando said weakly, as if he could focus on nothing besides Oscar. Oscar who looked he he'd bottle up the earth just to keep Lando safe. Oscar who looked like he'd find the cure for an incurable disease just to see Lando smile. Oscar who looked like he wanted nothing more than to wrap his arms around Lando and keep him there for eternity.
Oscar started slow, dragging himself out of Lando to push back in at a decreased pace. Landos face had eased slightly, pleasure taking up his features as he let out a quiet moan.
"You're so beautiful" Oscar professed, hips picking up pace as he leaned down to kiss Landos cheek.
"Stop that" Lando reprimanded, a small smile tugging at his lips.
"Stop what?" Oscar questioned, fucking into Lando with a little more force, causing the older to whimper out another moan.
"Stop being so...romantic. You're literally inside me" Lando said, letting his hands drift down Oscars back to push against his ass, forcing him further inside. Oscar croaked out a moan in surprise.
"What? Would you prefer dirty talk or something?" Oscar quipped, hips still snapping at a steady rhythm.
"No, just- I don't know. Just hold me" Lando said, taking one of his hands to grab one of Oscar's. Oscar kissed Landos knuckles before resting their intertwined fingers on the bed.
"I've wanted this for so long" Lando gasped out after a particularly hard thrust that just missed his prostate.
"I-I left out my laptop on purpose" Lando admitted, moaning louder as Oscar picked up the pace again, his free hand gripping harshly to Landos waist.
Oscar looked at him, confused.
"What? As in-" Oscar began but cut himself off as his thoughts caught up with him.
"Oh...um" Oscar said, a deep blush of embarrassment forming on his cheeks. Lando let out a weak laugh.
"Yeah...I kinda asked Daniel to help me out a bit. He planted the laptop and I asked him to stage...y'know. That's why you caught us together" Lando said.
"Wait, how did you even plan that I was gonna look through the computer and be in your room?" Oscar asked, halting his thrusting momentarily but Lando just shrugged.
"It was a long shot, but we saw you with the laptop and kind of just hid in the hallway and waited to see if you'd try and return it...I just wanted to make you jealous"
Oscar was staring at Lando in disbelief.
"I- what about the other times? With Carlos? Or Max?" Oscar asked, jealousy building up inside him suddenly. He started moving again which shocked another whimper from Lando.
"T-that wasn't planned. You just happened to be there" Lando said, eyes glazing over with tears when Oscar finally nailed his prostate.
"And Charles?" Oscar asked, the jealously bubbling aggressively as he thrusted hard and fast, revelling in Lando whimpering below him.
"That was a moment of weakness, have you seen him?" Lando responded breathlessly.
"Fair enough" Oscar responded, leaning down to kiss at Landos jaw.
"From now on, no one else" He whispered and he could feel Lando shiver beneath him.
"Y-yeah, okay"
Oscar continued fucking into Lando, thrusts becoming shallower and he knew he would last much longer.
Looking into Landos eyes almost sent him over the edge but he managed to hold on, grabbing Landos cock in his hand and timing his strokes with his thrusts. Lando screwed his eyes shut, crying out as he came almost instantly from the contact. Oscar wasn't far behind, spilling into the condom as he buried himself inside Lando.
They lay panting, Oscar slumping on top of Lando momentarily before he pulled out, collapsing next to Lando who was also trying to catch his breath.
"So...are we like, dating now?" Lando asked, looking over at a shocked Oscar who obviously hadn't expected that question.
"Yes!" Oscar all but exclaimed, clambering back on top of Lando to kiss him with all his might, cupping his cheeks to pull him closer as Lando let his hands rest on Oscar's waist.
When they pulled apart, Oscar couldn't focus on anything except Lando and the ear to ear smile on his face.
Oscar decided then and there, that he would swim across oceans if it meant he could stay with Lando forever.
Epilogue
5 years later…
“Look Oscar! I think that’s a dolphin!” Lando exclaimed, pointing out into the distance towards the horizon where the sun was beginning to set.
Oscar could barely focus on the words Lando was saying, nor what was happening anywhere around him as he stood on the beach, feet buried in the sand as he clasped onto one of Landos hands.
Lando was practically vibrating from joy as he pulled Oscar a little closer to the sea, cupping a hand over his own head to block out the light to get a better view.
“It’s definitely a dolphin!” He said, basically ignoring Oscars silence as his gaze stayed unwavering from the water ahead.
Oscar tried to keep his breathing level as he reached behind him, a weight heavy in the back pocket of his shorts.
When Lando finally turned his gaze to Oscar, his face dropped immediately, smile turning into a look of complete shock as he saw Oscar down on one knee, a box in the hand that wasn’t holding him.
“W-what are you doing?” Lando stuttered, fully turning his body to look at Oscar now as the sun sank further behind the ocean, disappearing from view.
“Lando…I don’t even know what to say that I haven’t already said to you a million times over but one thing I can do is ask a question that I’m pretty sure I haven’t asked you before” Oscar said, and Lando was smiling at him now, a small chuckle escaping from his lips.
“Will you marry me?” Oscar asked, hands shaking and heartbeat erratic but Lando was practically jumping into his arms immediately, chanting the word ‘yes’ before he drew Oscar into a kiss.
“Of course I’ll marry you, Osc” Lando said, reaching one hand into his jacket to grab something before he was pushing it into Oscars face.
It was a ring.
“But will you marry me?” He asked, smile impossibly wide as they knelt together in the sand.
“It’d be an honour” Oscar replied, pulling Lando into him, wrapping his arms behind his back and squeezing him tightly. Oscar knew that from now until forever, Lando would be by his side until the end.
