Medicine! a oneshot with Daniel Ricciardo

Based on the song Medicine by James Arthur.

Warnings: non other than Daniel struggling with his carrer (fuck mclaren) and Domestic!Daniel.

You're my bulletproof vest when it's getting dangerous

Always make me feel blessed, you're my guardian angel

You are, you are, you are

You are, you are, you are

He sighed as he watched the woman walk towards him with a worried but calm expression on her face. It hadn't been a good weekend on the tracks for the Aussie and she knew it. She could read him like and open book, so she always knew how he was feeling.

Daniel throws his gloves into the corner of the room, taking one last look at the car in frustration. She didn't say anything as she approached, just placed her hands on either side of his face, who quickly gave in to her touch, closing her eyes.

“Hey, it's okay, I'm here!” She said, feeling her boyfriend's arms wrap around her waist, in a tight hug. He knew she wasn't lying, as long as she was there with him, everything would be fine.

You put your body on mine when you're taking aim

You're the pin in my heart, it's a hand grenade

It was yet another frustrating day when Daniel left his team's headquarters extremely angry after thousands of meetings that got them nowhere. His career had seemed to be stuck in one spot for months and the car's condition didn't seem to want to help him much.

He felt like he was lost, he knew he wasn't doing his best on the tracks and much less at home, even if Olivia didn't show it, he knew that somehow it made her sad. He saw her worried look when he got home. He could see how his performance on the tracks was going downhill. He could see the pressure his team was putting on his shoulders. He knew his strength was running low, that it wouldn't last long until he exploded somehow.

You are, you are, you are

The cure for all my scars

I feel like you could save me now

When I'm suicidal

Don't let me spiral

Olivia had been beaming ever since Daniel had warned her about this trip. He had decided to take some time to enjoy life beside her, to take his mind off all that irritating situation that was going on inside the tracks. Those two weeks of vacation that the team had given the pilot had come at a good time, especially with the ideas he had in mind.

A red dress hugged the curves of Olivia's body that night. Daniel also didn't look too badly dressed in his hand-drawn suit and sewn especially for him.

The Australian helped the woman out of the car while covering her eyes with a blindfold, trying not to affect the pretty makeup she had on her face.

“All right, just a few more minutes and I'll get this out of you.” He assured, with one hand holding hers and the other calling for the elevator that would take them to the helipad of the building.

Olivia just squeezed his hand as confirmation that she was okay. She felt her heart speed up with every tremor the elevator gave, then stopped on the top floor.

“Ok, you can walk straight” The brunette laughs loudly when he sees the girl change her feet, almost falling. The cold Monaco night wind whips through the woman's hair, making it fall back down her bare back.

“Do you trust me?” He asked her. Olivia nodding in no time. Indeed, she trusted him with her eyes closed. “I’ll take this off and when I sayyou can open your eyes, right?” He walks away, going to the agreed place where an assistant gives him the small velvet box and leaves through the same door where the two had just entered.

The helipad was covered in rose petals, a few piled up here and there due to the strong wind at that height of the building. There were small lights arranged everywhere, making the mood somewhat romantic, perfect for what would happen at that moment.

“I always thought of myself as an independent guy, I couldn't imagine needing someone as much as I need you in my life since you entered it. I may not be the perfect man you deserve, Olivia, but I promise you that I’ll try every day, to be the best version of myself. For the rest of my life.” The woman opens her eyes, just as he had asked, and then finds him exactly in the middle of the helipad, bending down on one knee while holding the box with a beautiful ring inside.” Olivia, I’m pretty convinced by now that you’re the woman I want by my side forever. Do you accept being my happiness, my calm and my safe heaven for the rest of our lives?

That wasn't even close to being a question for Olivia, there was only one answer for that moment, and thank the Gods, it was the same one Daniel Ricciardo wanted to receive.

You make my heart beat faster than adrenaline

You kiss away the pain of all the hell I'm in

You're gonna make me better than I've ever been

'Cause you're my medicine, you're my medicine

The way home seemed longer than usual, all he wanted was to be able to get home soon and throw himself in the arms of his beloved, knowing that at least for now, all his worries would weight less on his mind.

The small bouquet of flowers was propped up on the side seat, as was the finest wine the convenience of the gas station had to offer.

“Honey?” His voice rang out down the massive entrance hall as he got rid of his shoes.

“I am here!” She replied, appearing at the kitchen door with her prettiest dress and a smile on her face, while wiping her hands on a dish towel.

“Wow, sometimes I forget that I have the most beautiful woman in the world just for me!” He comments, stretching the bouquet to her, who holds it and turns her body, twirling her dress.

“Always the best for you, especially on an occasion like this.” The woman drags him by the hand to the dining room.

The table was immaculately set and the food on it looked like it had been made by the best chefs in the world.

“Special occasion?” He asks as he pulls the chair for Olivia to sit. She nods and indicates the chair in front of her, for Daniel to do the same. Just then he notices a small decorated box on the table.

“I have a surprise for you!” It was clear the physical fatigue in the Australian, as much as he felt he could trade dinner for a good bath and the king size bed upstairs, Olivia had prepared all that for him.

To everyone who could see and hear, to everyone who'd ever had the opportunity to meet her, who'd ever crossed paths with hers, Olivia was the perfect woman. In any way. So much on her physical beauty, and even more on her inner beauty. She was the owner of an inexplicable beauty, a huge heart and the most beautiful smile that had ever passed through Daniel Ricciardo's life.

As he put it, Olivia was the love of his life and the love for his life, the gem-encrusted handmade engagement ring on her left ring finger only confirmed it.

You make my heart beat faster than adrenaline

You take the pain whenever I'm in hell again

I know you'll make me better than I've ever been

'Cause you're my medicine, you're my medicine

Daniel adored Olivia in every way possible, ever since he'd first glanced at the long, dark-haired woman, he'd had no doubt that she was the one he wanted by his side for the rest of his life. He believed it was impossible to feel any greater emotion than when she first said yes during a movie-worthy engagement. But that was about to change. His heart was beating wildly when she handed him the box and he didn't know why, but once again the touch of her hands made him believe that everything was going to be okay.

Daniel stared at the contents of the box in shock, blinking a few times and then looking at his fiancée, who now had her makeup slightly smudged by the tears that rolled down her face.

“Seriously?” He could feel his heart beating fast, so fast thait felt like it was going to jump out.

She nodded.

Daniel took out of the box the small pictures that were inside, intently staring at them.

“I've been trying to tell you for a while, but well.” She shrugged. It was not necessary to complete the sentence.

He laughed, now feeling his own tears rolling down his face. One of the photos contained his face, a calm face while he slept and in front of him the positive pregnancy test, the same one that was in the box. The other Polaroid contained an image of an ultrasound and the third a photo taken at one of the last races, where the two were kissing in front of his car and Olivia had her left hand on her small but slowly growing belly.

“How did I not notice before?” He laughed again, rolling his eyes and standing up in a excited-hurry, he walked to the other side of the table, kneeling beside Olivia and placing his hands on the woman's belly, much more visible now than in the photo.

“That I can't answer you.”  She laughed too, joining her hands with Daniel's, who now had his face resting on the woman's legs. Stroking her belly with his other free hand.

“You are amazing, I don't have enough words to thank you for everything you do for me. I don't know how I lived half of my life without you by my side.” Daniel says, after some time just enjoying that moment. “I can't imagine a life without you by my side anymore.” He completed.

“There's no reason to thank me, I’m just doing my role here.” She wipes the last stubborn tear that insists on running down her face. “But now you're going to sit down and eat, because me and this little being here, we're starving.” Daniel laughs, discarding the bottle of wine that hadn't even been opened. She would be saved for another occasion which, to be honest, didn't matter now. Everything he needed was right there. He had a home, an amazing future wife who now carried another human being, generated by of the love between the two!

“I love you.”She whispers to the brunette who had now pulled the chair next to her.

“And I love you.” He smiles truly, placing one of his hands on Olivia's belly.

And as always, with Olivia by his side, things would always end well.

Hi Anna! I enjoyed reading your thoughts on some of the f1 drivers and their Hogwarts houses and I was wondering in which Hogwarts house you would sort Robin, Nico and Antonio?

Hey Mari!! I’ve been thinking about this ask ever since I got it and to be honest, it’s tough. Friends have been consulted (mostly @k-raikkonen and @robinjuncadella) and lots of sources have been used.

Robin is a Hufflepuff. His friends are everything to him, the way his face lights up when he’s around his friends. He lives in the present, almost week by week, which could be a remnant from the uncertainty in his junior career. He goes with his gut. If he doesn’t like someone, he shows them, but when he does like them he’s one of the nicest people (offering two fans a ride to the train station). He’s not one for ideals, he cares more about whether works instead of it being moral. Him wanting to help young kids in karting after he retires is another great example.  He could be sorted into Gryffindor as well because of most of his defining traits being shared between the two. One big Gryffindor thing he has is that’s he’s not afraid of confrontation. He meets the world head-on. However, he’s not really one to focus on ideals that and him being incredibly loyal makes him a Hufflepuff.

Antonio is a Gryffindor. He wants to experience everything the world has to offer. He has a silly side to him and does a lot to make his friends laugh. He’s incredibly driven and committed. When he was a junior he worked his ass off to achieve his dreams, forgetting to go home. We’re all familiar with the many trips he takes with his many different friends, he’s someone who holds groups together, unites people who wouldn’t know each other otherwise (Mitch joining the LA trip with Toni and his friends is a good example). He goes with his gut and above all, trusts himself.On the other hand, he has some Ravenclaw in him. He tries to develop himself outside of racing, to be more than just a robot driving the car. His creativity (photography, opening a restaurant with his brother) as well. He also tries to break the mould of the average racer, he wants to expand it. 

Nico is a tough one. There isn’t really much to find on him that isn’t in Swiss German. He’s giving me Ravenclaw vibes though, not sure why, a bit of Hufflepuff as well. Maybe I’ll give sorting him another shot once the FE season is underway because we’ll surely get more Nico content then.
