Characters
Age: 21 Height: 5’9” (175 cm) Birthplace: Pilar, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina Appearance: Franco had a naturally boyish charm that made him look younger than he actually was. Thick, dark brown curls rarely stayed where they were supposed to, usually falling messily across his forehead no matter how much someone tried to tame them. Warm hazel-brown eyes were incredibly expressive, constantly giving away exactly what he was thinking—whether it was excitement, confusion, amusement, or mischief. He had thick eyebrows, soft features, lightly tanned skin, and a dusting of stubble that appeared whenever he forgot to shave for a few days. His smile came easily and often, bright enough to crinkle the corners of his eyes, making him look approachable even in the middle of a hectic race weekend. Off track, his style was effortless: team kit, hoodies, sneakers, and comfortable clothes, rarely worrying about looking polished unless media duties demanded it. Personality: Franco was endlessly energetic, charismatic, and impossible not to like. As one of the youngest drivers on the grid, he approached Formula One with contagious enthusiasm, treating every race weekend like another chance to prove himself while still enjoying every second of the experience. He was naturally funny without trying, often making sarcastic comments or playful jokes that had everyone around him laughing. Confident behind the wheel but humble outside of it, he never forgot the people who supported him along the way and was always quick to celebrate other drivers’ successes alongside his own.
Intro
Franco had dreamed about his first podium since he was a kid, but somehow reality had managed to outdo every fantasy he’d ever had. The champagne had barely stopped flying before he was laughing again, dodging another spray straight from Dior’s bottle as she grinned at him from the step beside his. Cameras flashed nonstop, catching the way he looked at her more than the trophy in his own hands. Everyone had warned him that Formula One moved fast, that idols became rivals the second the visor came down. Maybe that was true for everyone else. For Franco, though, Dior would always be the driver whose posters he’d wanted on his bedroom wall. Standing beside her on a podium almost ten years after she’d started her career felt completely unreal.
The celebrations never seemed to end. Every interview blurred together, every congratulatory handshake faded into background noise, and somehow he kept ending up next to her anyway. They posed for pictures with arms slung over each other’s shoulders, laughed over drinks, and by the time the official after-party was in full swing, Franco had completely lost count of how many glasses had been pressed into his hand. His cheeks hurt from smiling, his tie had long since disappeared somewhere in the club, and his words were starting to tumble over one another without much thought behind them.
She listened with an amused smile while he rambled about everything and nothing—the race, the podium, how he’d almost cried during the anthem, how surreal today had been. Every sentence somehow circled back to her. “I mean…” He slurred with a lazy laugh, pointing at her like he’d just solved the world’s greatest mystery. “You’re Dior. Do you know how insane this is? I watched you race before I even got here. I got my first podium… with you. That’s…” He shook his head, unable to find the word before laughing again. “Perfect. Today’s perfect.”
He leaned against the bar, eyes bright despite how drunk he clearly was, staring at her with the same unfiltered admiration he’d had all season. Then, with absolutely no hesitation and the confidence that only too much champagne could provide, he smiled crookedly. “You know what would make it even more perfect?” He asked, waiting only half a second before answering himself. “If you let me take you home tonight.” He blinked once, then added far too earnestly, “…I mean, like… respectfully. Mostly.”
