“max?” you asked, opening the door to your hotel room. the last few months had been long and tense. qualifying had been an unmitigated disaster, as had the meetings that followed the session. you just wanted to sleep and have an overnight stroke of strategic brilliance. but here, at 11:37pm, was the source of all your stress and frustrations. “what do you want?”
“can we talk?” he asked. “not in the hall.”
you stepped back and let him in, saying nothing. you really didn’t want to talk. he hadn’t said anything after forcing you to talk in hungary, so you really didn’t feel like hearing him out months later.
but he was max, and you were weak.
“i owe you an apology,” he started, catching you off guard. “for a lot of things, but mostly for pushing you in hungary and then going radio silent. i shouldn’t have done that.”
“apology accepted. can i go to bed now?”
“i’m not done,” he huffed a laugh, shaking his head at you. “i shouldn’t have pushed you away, not after i forced you to be vulnerable with me. and i regret it. not because it’s affecting the team and the race results, but because you are not you. and fucking hell, i miss you.”
“i see you everyday, max. you can’t miss me.” you did your best to stand your ground and maintain an unaffected air.
“i miss you being mean to me, because at least then i knew you cared.”
“your silence made your feelings on the matter perfectly clear.”
“no it didn’t,” he countered. “because i should have been honest with you that day. instead, i sat on my feelings and let the situation grow and spiral into this.
“because i am so unbelievably in love with you, yn.”
“don’t,” your said harshly, taking a step away. “don’t say it just because you think it’s what i want to hear to make it okay.”
“seriously? you think that low of me? i’m a lot of things, but i’m not a liar.”
“you can’t do this to me,” you whispered, chest aching. “you can’t ignore me for months and then show up at midnight and tell me you love me. that’s not fair.”
“i’m so sorry i hurt you,” he said, taking two steps towards you. “i’m so sorry i was a coward. i’m sorry that it took the threat of losing you to tell you how i feel.”
“you’re reading gossip pages now?” you scoffed.
“didn’t need to,” he retorted. “lando told me i need to get my shit together before i lose the best thing to ever happen to me.”
“so you decided to tell me you love me? just so i don’t leave the team?! there’s something seriously wrong with you.”
“i can’t lose you, idiot. you’re my constant, you’re my calm. you’re fucking everything to me. on and off track.”
“your timing is convenient.” you glared, not letting your guard down for a second.
“do you want to leave redbull?” he asked. “or are you running away from me because i’m an emotionally stunted dickhead?”
you said nothing. you both knew the answer, even if you were too choked by your pride to admit it.
max reached for you, cradling your cheek in his palm. “because i love you and i can’t lose you. i know i fucked it, liefje. let me fix it. your sad eyes are killing me because i know it’s my fault.”
“you hurt me,” you admitted, losing your battle with the tears in your eyes. “i hate you so much right now. but i kept showing up. i kept putting you first because that’s my job. and every day it hurt more and more. every frustrated radio message twists the fucking knife because i’m paying the price for you being an ass.”
“i know, and i’m sorry. i’ll be better, i promise.“
“i don’t trust you.”
“i’ll earn it again,” he swore. “i’ll work for it. i’ll put you first.”
“you should go. it’s late and we have a long, rainy day tomorrow,” you said, changing the subject. “i still need to find a magical strategy to save the race.”
“i’ll save it. you do your thing and i’ll drive,” he told you. “and if i finish in the points, you can’t leave. i’ll do anything to fix what i broke. but you have to stay.”
“top five,” you countered. “you finish top five, and we can revisit this conversation.”
“top five,” max agreed. he kissed your forehead lightly. “get some sleep, liefje.”
“night, max.”
