hello friend thank u for this very very important ask. wow ANYTHING?? as you know i have many seb/lewis thoughts but let me share a little dumb story i discussed with @collarboen (who ofc validated me like a good friend and contributed ideas) after seeing this post about lewis the oil painter and seb who does taxes falling in love!!!
so lewis's assistant/manager/publicist (the amazing angela ofc) who has been there with him since the very beginning has always done his taxes for him. but then he starts to make it big as people outside the local art scene start to recognize and praise his work and his collections start being featured in bigger name museums!! and then he starts to get a decent number of commissions too and his artwork is featured in various exhibits and being auctioned off etc. so angela's like, ok this is getting a little complicated for me. you probably need a tax person now that you're making more money and have these different contracts/accounts and you're also donating some of your art/money to causes you're passionate about. lewis says ok, find somebody, i trust you.
meanwhile seb does taxes for like organizations/companies like non profits museums! somehow angela gets his name idk exactly how just go with it but seb says, uh well i don’t really do personal taxes? but she happens to mention who it’s for and seb actually knows and loves lewis’s art so he reluctantly agrees like, i guess i can make an exception. even tho he has to brush up on various tax codes and stuff he hasn’t used in a loooong time. (this could all be entirely wrong bc i know NOTHING about taxes - or art either - so please do not at me about how inaccurate all of this is lolol)
anyway so seb starts helping lewis out and they only correspond via email or through angela. lewis thinks seb is some old boring dude because his emails are very generic and boring. they always start with “dear mr. hamilton, this is sebastian vettel. i am emailing you regarding...” and end with “sincerely, sebastian vettel.” and he always writes in complete sentences with proper punctuation and never uses exclamation points.
and seb has no clue what lewis looks like either! seb likes his art but seb does not routinely google what people look like out of curiousity and now lewis is a client so he figures they’ll meet eventually and lewis will just be another person.
ofc at some point seb needs some Important Documents from lewis and has to meet with lewis anyway to discuss his tax/finance stuff in detail so they set up a time for seb to go to lewis' house for a meeting. as you can imagine lewis is SHOCKED when seb shows up in his suit with his little briefcase and he is not an old man!!! lewis is like ohh OH and immediately notices seb's eyes along with his scruffy beard and floofy hair and finds he's actually quite cute and charming. and seb makes corny tax jokes and roscoe loves him immediately. meanwhile seb is also floored when he sees lewis for the first time. he can't help but think lewis is so beautiful!!! like lewis should be the subject of all the art, someone should be painting lewis!! and lewis is so passionate about his art but also so many other causes, seb finds that incredible. anyway that's how they fall in love the end
