[link to video]
if anyone ever needed proof that lewis has always been catnip to catholic men this video is IT. long before pierre gasly on the grid was even a concept, we had sergio "checo" perez putting his entire face in lewis hamilton's neck at a club in mexico in 2015. what in the omegaverse is this... stop scenting him in public checo have some decorum???
i dont know what it is abt lewis .. maybe its the whole lapsed catholic thing idk. who am i to judge ive never been catholic a day in my life, i come from a religion that believes in contraception. but anyway. if u believe in quantum whatever (and i do bc i like the concept of alternative universes and realities existing) then there's definitely one where these two did the do and someone got pregante. who that is? up to u. but Something happened that night in mexico in 2015.
we should also talk abt checo's lil jokes abt kidnapping roscoe and their weird twt flirtation and the fact that checo was on the podium for lewis's record 7th championship... lots to discuss... more lore than many thought possible. people are sleeping on this pairing lydia. no one Gets the vision and it's my favorite thing in the world to annoy people about. just wait until the drivers parades this year. we're abt to see so much touching and giggling and flirting with any and all combinations of lewis and the cadillac boys. right in front of everyone else's salad. it'll be FUN.
I have a bunch of great prompts in my inbox and this wasn't one of them! Sometimes writer brain be like that. Enjoy.
âMonaco,â Lewis says.Â
Checo scoffs, his shoulder blades shifting with the movement. âFuck Monaco,â he says.Â
Lewis tries to hide the smile that curls against Checoâs back. âOkay,â he says. âLondon.â He can practically feel Checoâs eyeroll.Â
âGuadalajara,â Checo counters.Â
Lewis hums, tightens his grip on Checoâs waist. âColorado,â he says. âDenver.âÂ
Checo doesnât say anything at first. His fingers dance over the bones of Lewisâ wrist, slide forward to curl over Lewisâ hands.Â
âColorado,â he concedes. âNot Denver.âÂ
âNot Denver,â Lewis agrees, and presses a kiss to Checoâs shoulder. His skin smells like the sea, warmed with the sun that chased them indoors and out of the midday heat. Thereâs a light sheen of sweat coating both of them that makes the thin sheet cling to their legs like plastic wrap. âSomewhere in the mountains,â Lewis says.Â
âYes,â Checo says. âIn the mountains.âÂ
~*~
Lewis doesnât buy the Colorado property for Checo, but heâd be lying if he said he wasnât thinking about him when he signed the papers. Checo doesnât come, anyway. Thereâs no reason for him to be in Colorado, and Lewis isnât going to invite his wife and children along. Heâs not that kind of martyr, thanks. Checo never asks him to, heâs not that kind of martyr, either.Â
~*~
Monaco, then, though Lewis is constantly paranoid that Nico is going to know, somehow, even with all the steps Lewis takes to make sure he and Checo never cross paths. Even though theyâve sworn each other to secrecy a hundred times, their own private fucked-up confession, prayers panted into each otherâs skin, secrets that could destroy them both. Thereâs always a pit in Lewisâs stomach for days after Checo comes to the apartment in Monaco.Â
After Nico, they donât fuck in Monaco again.Â
~*~
Who needs Monaco? There are beds everywhere. Hotel beds in Asia, in the US. Their trailers anywhere else - Lewisâ trailer, usually, because itâs easy enough to joke heâd stopped by to see Roscoe. Nobody needs to know that Roscoe was politely exiled to the living room for the duration of the visit. Checo does the fucking, unless heâs a little bit drunk and things are a little bit worse than usual at home. Lewis always expects to regret giving in, but he never does. Itâs too sweet, even with the way Checo will go strange and silent for a while after. Lewis doesnât chase; Checo always comes back.Â
~*~
Checo goes to Red Bull, and everything goes to shit. Itâs not his fault, but that doesnât matter. He tries playful, tries conciliatory, but Lewis canât separate Checo in-his-bed from Checo in that godforsaken team polo. He makes him change out of team kit before he comes to the room. After Silverstone, after the response, Lewis tells Checo they canât fuck anymore.Â
âLewis,â Checo says, a curl of laughter around the unsteady tone of his voice. âCome on, are you for real?âÂ
âFor real for real,â Lewis says. He shakes his head. âI canât do it, man.â He canât look at Checo, either, his mouth hanging open slightly, the blank hurt of his wide brown eyes. âItâs fucking me up.âÂ
To his immeasurable credit, Checo simply nods, curls his fists in his jacket, and leaves.Â
~*~
So many times, Lewis thinks about reaching out. Then he closes his eyes and sees Checo in the Red Bull polo. Itâs not fair, he knows. The team is awful to Checo, demeaning, racist. Itâs a job. He canât blame Checo for taking the best seat available, but he does.Â
~*~
2021 passes, 2022. Max wins again, again. Mercedes missed the window and Lewis is drowning, the good captain going down with his ship. He hears the paddock rumors about Checo and some woman in Monaco and feels an irrational sting of guilt. It shouldâve been them together celebrating Checoâs win. He wouldnât have let Checo end up in the papers. He wonders, briefly, if maybe Checo was trying to make him jealous. He doesnât enjoy the thought.Â
~*~
Itâs November 2023 and Lewis is tired. Heâs tired of the stupid games, the gimmicks, hoop after unending idiotic hoop to jump through for Liberty or Netflix or Mercedes admin. Theyâre in Las Vegas, and it should be cool to race on the Strip, he knows. This kind of thing is good for the sport, thatâs what everyone keeps saying. But Lewis is tired. There are two races left and he knows, with a sick kind of certainty, that heâs going to go another season without a win.Â
Maybe thatâs why, when theyâre finally let down from their hunger games pedestals, he lets himself bump into Checo. Itâs the kind of slightly-too-long contact that used to be an easy, immediate signal.Â
âSorry, man,â Lewis says, for the show.Â
âNo problem,â Checo replies, perfunctory. He doesnât even look at Lewis.
And why should he? Lewis chides himself. Lewis is the one who cut when things were bad, who let two years pass without anything.Â
Then Checo glances back, a thin furrow between his eyebrows. Itâs a question, and Lewis canât tell what he wants the answer to be. Lewis flicks his tongue out to wet his lips, gives Checo what he hopes is a lopsided smile, something apologetic and wanting all at once. He probably looks like an idiot.Â
Checoâs jaw tightens, the line between his eyebrows smoothing away. He tilts his head, almost like heâs about to roll out his neck, and then he smiles.Â
~*~
Itâs nothing at all like riding a bike. Checo kisses up each of Lewisâ finger tattoos. âIâve wanted to do this for so long,â he murmurs. He kisses each letter of the word blessed behind Lewisâ ear. âI want them inside me,â he says. âI want you to fuck me.âÂ
Heâs sober, clear-eyed. Lewis wonders what changed, if Checo spent the last two years broadening his horizons. Checo never used to be so at ease with his hunger. Lewis asks him about it, when heâs fully inside and Checo is staring at him like heâs seen God. Checoâs laugh sounds punched out of him.Â
âJealous?â he asks, pushing up on his elbows. His body is strong but not showy. Itâs capable, human. Thereâs fat layering the obvious muscle that has never seemed to bother him, even when the muscles were less obvious.Â
Lewis doesnât want to admit to it, so he rolls his hips instead, to watch the way Checoâs breath stutters, the way his fingers flex against the sheets.Â
âThey didnât fuck you like I do,â Lewis says. He knows that much is true.Â
Checo rolls his eyes. âThereâs no one else,â he says, like itâs obvious. âWho could I trust?âÂ
~*~
After, tangled together with a blanket pulled awkwardly over their bodies in the rapidly-cooling hotel room, Checo turns until heâs on his side, reaches out and traces shapes over Lewisâ stomach.Â
âWhy now?â he asks.Â
Lewis takes a while to answer, and Checo lets the silence breathe with them.Â
âIâve missed you for two years,â he says. âIâm tired of missing you.âÂ
Checo rests his palm flat over Lewisâ heart. âIâve missed you, too,â he says.Â
Lewis twists so he can kiss Checoâs shoulder. âCome to Colorado,â he says. âIâve got a place in the mountains.âÂ
