there's not a thought in my head ...
HEADCANONS.
everyone , friends and family , primarily call him santi ! in the media he's referred as both , but most of the time , everyone calls him santi .
his relationship with his father is extremely complicated . on one hand , he wants to be completely rid of him , but his father unfortunately knows that santi has always craved to have a relationship with him . whenever his dad is in trouble , he knows he can call santi and worm his way out .
santi has made a name for himself outside of the realm of racing , with brand deals and sponsorships ranging from alcoholic beverages to high fashion . for the past few years , he has been a common staple during fashion month ( it doesn't help that he has had a lot of short term flings with models over the years as well ) .
he currently resides on west 23rd street in chelsea , having bought a condo there when he moved to new york . considering that santi has a mind for business , he has made successful investments over the years which has led to him owning homes in southampton , monaco , and back home in atlanta ( specifically in the buckhead area ) .
one of his proudest moments is being able to buy a home for his mother— although she profusely refused , santi surprised her with a new home after winning his first professional race .

with the top half of a petronas branded suit tied around his waist , santi's hands are greased and his skin is covered with a thin sheen of sweat as pops the hood of a vintage mustang gt350 . he leaves the car to grab a few wrenches from the craftsman tool box when an all too familiar silhouette comes into his peripheral . " juno ! " santi grins , making his way over to her . " glad you could make it— " he pats his hand on top of the car beside him . " i'm almost done with this one , and all that's left is a paint job . wanna take it for a spin ? "
the blonde didn't blame him for his rude response , knew that was what she deserved . natasha hated the public slander , being canceled , exposed . months had passed , people should have got over the scandal already . but not santiago , possibly the only innocent person in that whole scandal . he didn't deserve to have been cheated , much less to have found out the way he did . but what could natasha do ? sure , she liked santi , he helped her make her good girl facade to be more believable , but she couldn't be faithful . not to him , not to anyone . femme loved the thrill of being sneaky , being flirty and secretive . ❛ i know you probably hate me , but i want to talk to you when you're ready . when you're open to me and hear my apologies , ❜ she had media training and it showed , trying to find the right words so as not to cause a scene in the middle of the restaurant . ( @overloadeds )
santi was sure his mother would not be pleased to hear the way he's spoken to natasha , even if he was hurt by her actions . there was a small vulnerability to him , one that he never tried to reveal to others out of fear of ending up in situations like this— where he was exposed and left to pick up the pieces . natasha meant a lot to him , and even if he carried such disdain for her , he cannot deny that he wished her the best . " don't give me that . " santi exhales with an eye roll and slight clench of his jaw . " let me guess , you learned that when your pr team made you go to media training so you can become little miss perfect all over again ? " his tone is harsh , and santi knows it . " it's been a handful of months— forgive me if not everyone is able to move on as fast as you can . " @natashasfm
" no . " truthfully , piper doesn't even recall having any romantic nor intimate relationships with anyone . she did hear from her friends that she was in love at one point , years ago . but with her newly operated brain and memories , it's just hard to remember who it was nor feel butterflies at the thought of love . " i just haven't really thought about those stuff ! i'm more focused on my self-healing . " that's been going on for years and years now . @overloadeds
homme was the last person on the planet who should be questioning anyone about their love life . his last relationship left a stain on his perception of relationships and romance , so he really had no room to do this , but he enjoyed teasing piper . " there's gotta be someone— you know , someone who makes her heart beat real hard . " he mimics a beating heart with his hand . " self healing ? the only self healing that anyone should do is either drowning themselves in alcohol or getting under someone . there has to be someone ... even if you don't wanna remember their name afterward . " @ghostlined
it felt like everything was finally getting back on track with natasha , her album was almost finished , brands that had dropped her were reaching out again and the world seemed to have forgotten about her cheating scandal . well , not the whole world . hues meeting her ex boyfriend sent a chill down her spine . cheeks heating up until blonde remembered that shame was no longer part of her ' brand ' . ❛ i couldn't said it better myself , ❜ chuckled , even if there's nothing to laugh about . had only seen each other a few times after the breakup , femme doing her best not to run into him . until now . ❛ how are you ? ❜ ( @overloadeds )
avoidance was easier said than done in such a hellscape . homme was always true to his word— when he said he'd back away , or that he was done , he meant it wholeheartedly . with natasha , there was no bigger embarrassment than being cheating on so publicly , when he was over a thousand miles away in monaco . new york was too small . draws in deep breath , unsure of what emotion is beginning to rake through his body— he thought he worked through this shit in therapy . " how kind of you to care about my feelings now that you've been cancelled . " sharp gaze flickers down to shorter woman . " in all honesty , nat ... i didn't want to see you then and i don't want to see you now . "
" santiago león , my favorite f1 driver ! " yohan has put aside his past night life , at least by a little bit . though , it was difficult to say no when santi was involved , which is why he didn't hesitate to stop by . truthfully , he felt out of his element— this was a different atmosphere & his driving skills were limited to his aston martin . " you ? i never thought i'd step foot on a race track . " he looks around , overwhelmed with excitement . " you think i could play you in a movie ? would i get the part ? " yohan teases , shaking his head in amusement . " that's a question i don't hear everyday— i'll take the ferrari . "
" your favorite ? aw , babe— you spoil me . " santi sets palms over heart , and releases laughter while shaking head . the duo shared at minimal of one brain cell when they were together , and santi easily considered yohan as his best friend . having such a high octane career was certainly not for everyone , but there's no way anyone could pass up driving some of the most prestigious cars on the market . " hmm , i think so . we're damn near twins ! we'd just have to get your hair permed so it's curly like mine . " homme is joking , and tosses arm around friend's shoulders . " up for a race ? i promise to go easy on you . "

" oh , come on , pipe . " homme drapes self dramatically on luxurious couch , snatching up a handful of barbecue chips . " new york's the size of my fist— our circle somehow manages to be even smaller . " dark hues cut over to her , and squints ever so slightly . " there has to be someone you're interested in . not even for a long - term thing ... what about someone you wanna hook up with ? i'm a good matchmaker ! "

it's the end of another long day— eight full hours of photoshoots , interviews , and training . homme simply wanted to end the day , to enter home and not emerge until the mid afternoon . instead , he'd been dragged out for dinner by some members of his racing crew , packing out the small restaurant . homme had excused himself for a brief moment , and it's on the way back to table when frame physically collides with another . the scent of her perfume makes it easy to determine her identity . " this night just keeps on getting better , doesn't it ? "

with brisa and alma on their leashes , santi had taken them on an evening run . both puppies were as energetic as ever , often enjoying their walks and runs around the city . after an hour , he stops for a moment to let the pups rest— they're typically well behaved . brisa , the seven month old samoyed , breaks from santi the second he stops running . " brisa , para ! " homme chases after the puppy with alma in his arms , catching up with the puppy upon seeing her with another . " i'm so sorry , she got away from me . "

" am i wrong for questioning the cost of this shit ? " homme only wants to make pasta— cart is already full of what he needs for dinner and a few extras , but goddamn . all he wanted at this point was to go home , especially after an exhausting press junket , but picking out which pasta he wants is bound to drive him insane . " which one would you pick ? i'm not opposed to shapes at this point . "

" yohan ! " fist bumps assistant on standby while pulling off helmet , a wide grin taking over features . " never thought i'd see you on a race track . " tone is teasing , helmet and gloves taken as he rounds the car . could never run away from the pure adrenaline that comes when behind the wheel of a car , which explains extending the invitation for yohan to join . " put on a suit ! we have the track all to ourselves— do you want the porsche or the ferrari ? "
gaze shifts toward femme , brows quirking at posed question . " what would this be for ? " gestures toward phone . " it wouldn't be the first time someone wanted to capture my likeness . "
" doesn't mercury go into retrograde or something like that ? " brows knit together in slight confusion . " or , it could be because the summer's when we're having the most fun— although i'd say the winter is equally a good time . "
