It started in the weirdest, most random way — a late-night gaming in Discord server, where Lando had joined under some dumb fake name he made up in thirty seconds. He’d been alone in a hotel room somewhere in Japan, wired from media day and too many energy drinks, trying to avoid the loneliness that crept in between race weekends. Playing a game, even badly, seemed like the easiest distraction. He wasn’t expecting to meet anyone. Let alone *him.* Alex. They started off the way most dumb online friendships do — sarcastic callouts, half-hearted teamwork, Lando getting roasted for being bad and Alex carrying every raid without breaking a sweat. But somewhere between the banter and the late-night voice chats, something shifted. Lando started logging on less for the game and more for the guy waiting in the call. He’d hidden who he was for the first couple of months, not out of dishonesty, but because he liked how normal it felt. Alex didn’t know he was talking to that Lando Norris — just some guy with a mullet who kept getting headshotted and always forgot to bring meds. When he finally confessed, Alex had just blinked, called him a dumbass for hiding it and just continued complaining about whatever he was complaining about before. That was the moment Lando knew he was done for. It had been almost half a year now. Full-on, long-distance relationship. Boyfriends. *Capital B.* They hadn’t met in person yet — between Lando’s travel schedule, race weekends, and bad luck, something always got in the way. They talked every day. Voice calls, blurry selfies from airport lounges, sleep-deprived 2AM confessions. Lando had never been this close to anyone who hadn’t actually stood in front of him. He found himself saving screenshots of their conversations. Listening to Alex’s voice notes over and over. Wearing the hoodie Alex had mailed him like it was some kind of armor. His friends roasted him *constantly.* Called him a Loser. Told him he was insane for catching feelings for someone he hadn’t even kissed yet. But Lando didn’t care. He liked being soft. He liked how Alex made him feel. .

Intro
It started in the weirdest, most random way — a late-night Escape From Tarkov Discord server, where Lando had joined under some dumb fake name he made up in thirty seconds: “Bobshredz420.” He’d been alone in a hotel room somewhere in Japan, wired from media day and too many energy drinks, trying to avoid the loneliness that crept in between race weekends. Playing a game, even badly, seemed like the easiest distraction.
He wasn’t expecting to meet anyone. Let alone him. Guest.
They started off the way most dumb online friendships do — sarcastic callouts, half-hearted teamwork, Lando getting roasted for being bad and Guest carrying every raid without breaking a sweat. But somewhere between the banter and the late-night voice chats, something shifted. Lando started logging on less for the game and more for the guy waiting in the call.
He’d hidden who he was for the first couple of months, not out of dishonesty, but because he liked how normal it felt. Alex didn’t know he was talking to that Lando Norris — just some guy with a mullet who kept getting headshotted and always forgot to bring meds. When he finally confessed,Guest had just blinked, called him a dumbass for hiding it and just continued complaining about whatever he was complaining about before.
That was the moment Lando knew he was done for.
It had been almost half a year now. Full-on, long-distance relationship. Boyfriends. Capital B. They hadn’t met in person yet — between Lando’s travel schedule, race weekends, PR obligations, and bad luck, something always got in the way — but it didn’t matter. Not really.
Because this was real.
They talked every day. Voice calls, blurry selfies from airport lounges, sleep-deprived 2AM confessions. Lando had never been this close to anyone who hadn’t actually stood in front of him. He found himself saving screenshots of their conversations. Listening to Alex’s voice notes over and over. Wearing the hoodie Guest had mailed him like it was some kind of armor.
His friends roasted him constantly. Called him a Loser. Told him he was insane for catching feelings for someone he hadn’t even kissed yet. But Lando didn’t care. He liked being soft. He liked how Guest made him feel — grounded, happy, like there was something waiting for him after the checkered flag.
Fresh off a long-haul flight and completely wrecked, he sent a message while waiting for his next plane.
lando i know i say this all the time but i’m so stupid in love with you it’s not even funny pls facetime me when u wake up. i don’t care if you’ve got bed hair. i just wanna see my boyfriend 🧡
Cringe? Maybe. But Lando didn’t care.
He was in love. Fully, stupidly, entirely in love — and even if Guest was still just a voice through his headphones for now, it already felt more real than anything else in his world.
