sunshine! 𝜗𝜚⋆₊˚ln1
summary: when lando starts posting a new mystery figure to his instagram with no warning, fans get rabid trying to find their identity. but aside from lando's obsessive posting, the target of their hunt doesn't exist. in your cozy monaco world, you and lando agree to one thing: private, but not secret. the world will never know your name, but they will know that lando loves you.

clip — i saw lando and sunshine at fp1!!
The clip starts with muffled words as the fan takes their phone out. The phone catches Lando and a mystery figure walking into the paddock, hand-in-hand. You're speaking in low tones, heads bowed to avoid the cameras. from behind the camera, the fan shouts "SUNSHINE!" and you turn to look, your attention drawn by the loud sound of the name the F1 fandom has chosen for you.
The fan locks eyes with them and their hand raises in front of the camera to wave. Eagerly, you start waving back with a wide grin. The bandana on your head catches in the wind as you wave, framing your face like a movie poster. Faintly, the camera picks up the word "hi!" being hollered over the roar of the crowd. Almost invisible, but heard by those who turned their volume up loud enough. There's pure happiness in your voice, something that can't be faked. You're happy to be there, happy to be known, even if it isn't the real you, but a nickname the world had given you.
Lando tilts his head up, a grin spreading on his face as he drinks in the way you lets go of his hand to make a heart at the camera with both hands. Your smile never fades, and seems to grow as the fan zooms in on you. The fan behind the camera squeals and it suddenly cuts.

INTERVIEW — Lando Norris on new partner!
"So, let's address the elephant in the room. How long have [you and sunshine] been together?"
"We've been together for about six months or so, and I asked about going public, and they were fine with it [ Laughs ]. They have no social media so you won't find them. Wish I could be that brave, you know?"
"How did you two meet?"
"I, uh, got a padel ball to the face and got rushed to ER, and they fixed my face up. I don't even remember asking them out! It just happened. They said yes, too, which was crazy enough. Don't know why they agreed, but I won't question it [ Laughs ]."
"You said they've got no social media, does that hinder your relationship, since your job requires so much presence?"
"That's actually a good question. **** I'm not good at academic sounding ones. But, no, it doesn't make things hard. They've made me go analogue, which is crazy because social media is my life when I'm not racing. We call instead of text, and they wrote me letters if they couldn't come to a race. I have a screen time limit now, for Christ's sake! { Laughs ] But it's been ... really good for me, I think. Been in my head a lot less, focusing on the now and stuff."

clip — Lando and Sunshine on the train to Suzuka!!
The clip starts on a train in the early hours of the morning. The sun paints the train a gentle shade of pink and orange, dousing the couple in a soft light. Lando and you are both packed into a corner of the train, him standing and blocking the view of you, and then sitting and reading something that can’t be identified. Every so often, you silently chuckle and turn the book to Lando, pointing at a line that made you smile. Lando reads it, and his laughter can be heard as an announcement of the next stop blares. Your hands brush and you lean your head against Lando’s stomach, and his free hand wraps around your shoulders, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of your head.
The clip cuts again to show you and Lando playing rock-paper-scissors in silence. You win, and the camera captures your small victory dance as Lando pretends to be devastated, but he's smiling like he won the best prize of all. Your hands intertwine as you lean into each other, humming a silent melody only the two of you know. The train goes over a bump and you both giggle as Lando sways, holding you in your seat.
"You okay?" He asks, his voice quiet and gentle as you nod. You're staring at him him like he hung the moon and painted the universe.
"More than okay," you whisper back, and the camera barely picks it up. Lando chuckles, and the redness in his cheeks is barely caught by the camera as you tap the end of his nose.
He looks so in love it hurts.
Lando’s scrolling on his phone when you headbutt his stomach and point to the fan. He looks up and offers a gentle smile and wave. The fan scrambles to put their phone away, apologizing.
Vaguely, sunshine’s voice can be heard. “Do you want a photo with him?”
Lando groans. “I look like shit!” To which sunshine laughs quietly and the video switches to selfie mode. Sunshine’s eyes widen as they scramble to end the video. The last shot is a clear frame of their face, a beaming smile on their lips as the clip ends.

clip — Lando got a podium!!!
The clip starts with the crowd celebrating the podium lineup, the Miami air thick with cheers and the smell of alcohol. As Lando walks out onto the podium, a cheer unlike any rips through the crowd. The camera cuts to you, standing just past the fan zone with the largest smile plastered on your face. You're the source of the sound, that much is obvious. You're jumping up and down, waving frantically to Lando on the podium. The camera moves to Lando, who is mimicking you, jumping and waving like a child winning their first race. The camera picks up your voice screaming his name with a reverence found only in myths, dedicated to the gods above. Only now, it's dedicated to him. And you don't care about anyone else, only about showing him how in love with him you are. Likewise, Lando doesn't notice anything else, even when champagne covers him, he turns the bottle to aim it at you. You squeak as you dodge it, laughing with an open mouth and bright eyes.
The camera cuts to after the race as Lando rushes the parc ferme, colliding with you like atoms in a fusion reactor. He's dripping with champagne, but neither of you cares, because his arms are warm and safe. He spins you, both of you laughing and smiling like he'd won the whole fucking thing. It was P2, not the top spot, but it was the best result he'd achieved all season, and you made sure he knew it. You're pressing kisses across his face while he soaks in it. He doesn't even bother pretending to be nonchalant. You're it for him, and he doesn't care who sees it.
You nuzzle your noses together as you exchange silent words, but they're words that make Lando kiss you in the way reserved for movie stars under dreamy lighting, and it feels like the universe is colliding in ways never thought possible as you touch the ground but never separate.
The camera captures his lips moving. Everyone is sure he says "I love you".
