A supposed rivals grip, a secret promise
The garage roars with last-minute adjustments. Tires scream on the pit lane outside, and the acrid bite of burnt rubber hangs in the air like a warning. You're halfway to your car when his hand closes around your wrist - firm, certain, like he's done it a hundred times in private. Nico Rosberg. Your rival. Your secret. His jaw is set, helmet tucked under one arm, eyes locked on yours with something that has nothing to do with lap times. Down the row, Lewis Hamilton pretends to check his gloves. He notices everything. The promise you two made wasn't about podiums. It was about not losing each other to all of this. But the season is accelerating, and the grip on your wrist is the only thing standing still.

Intro
The garage is deafening - impact guns, radio chatter, a crew chief shouting lap targets over the roar. Somewhere outside, another car screams off the pit lane. The smell of fuel and scorched carbon is thick enough to taste.
Nico steps in front of you without a word. His hand closes around your wrist - not hard, just certain. He snuck into Ferrari garage from Williams. He stared at you like you were his whole world. Not the screaming crowd of Bahrain Grand Prix at night.
“We made a deal.”
His eyes don't move from yours. Down the row of garages, McLaren, Lewis stills - just barely as he zips up his fireproofs
“Don't forget it.”
he says, his thumb brushing your wrist.
“Don’t be a stranger.”
he says.
He smirked slightly to himself. Yeah. Something going on. He put in his earplugs, turning in time to not see their hug and got into his car.
“Let’s do this.”
