summary : in which, your boyfriend doesn’t know how much his arms turn you on.
listen up : 18+ thoughts! a quick blurb for my first time writing for paul! lowkey choking kink??
words : 283
⋆｡‧˚⋆
Paul didn’t do it on purpose.
At least, you don’t think so. His arms have always been an obvious attraction for you. Seriously, even if he flexes by accident, it turns you on.
It was when you were talking to some of his engineers that it happened.
It scared you at first, but the familiar feeling of Paul’s hand on your waist made you instantly relaxed. The relaxation didn’t last long because before you knew it, his arm was around your neck.
Wrapping his arm around you, he locks you in place. You lean back into him, your chin tilting up because of how big his arm is around you. His skin is cold against yours, his hold tight as you feel his muscle moving under your chin. You laugh, pretending like your face isn’t bright red and your panties aren’t actually damp already.
He loosens his grip, his arm dropping to swing over your chest and holding your shoulder. He says something to his engineers but you can’t hear… the thought his bicep curled around your face is all that consumes your mind.
The second they leave, you turn around, his arm still around you, “Let’s go to your driver's room.”
He frowns, confused, “Why? I thought you were having fun-”
“I am.” You’re quick to say, “I’d just have more fun with just you…” The second you drag your hand down his bicep, it clicks.
You can see the understanding dawn on him. How his curls bounce as he nods, how his hand takes yours and turns without hesitation… none of it helps your hormones chill out. Luckily, they don’t have to, especially when Paul has you under him.
Hii, you could do something for Paul. where the reader is an Alpine driver, and all the fans start joking that Paul is joining this year's wag. I don't know, I feel like it would be a lot of fun for both of us
wag or reserve driver? -p.aron
summary: the world sees how you respond to paul being announced as a reserve driver

2024 f2 boys when you’re on your period | f2 grid picks! x afab!reader
i tried to keep is as gender neutral as possible, i hope you enjoy! i’m still not over this season tbh, so this is me celebrating all the wonderful we made watching f2 this year! most iconic podiums, best battles and the most amazing lineup. it was a pleasure to enjoy this ride with all of you
pairing(s): ollie bearman x afab!reader, kimi antonelli x afab!reader, zane maloney x afab!reader, paul aron x afab!reader, pepe marti x afab!reader, luke browning x afab!reader;
warning(s): mentions of blood?, periods in general, maybe innuendo?
ollie bearman | prema—> haas f1
surprisingly shy about it!
doesn’t want to hurt you in any way, since you’re so sensitive and sore all over
figures its better to not say anything when you’re having an outburst
just watches you with puppy dog eyes and whisperes “can i do anything for you?”
you either burst into tears or scream at him for being so clueless and then also cry into his chest
so he just makes tea
he doesn't really know how to cook, but the british upbringing made him an excellent tea brewer
or so he tells you, knowing it makes you roll your eyes and chuckle
kimi antonelli | prema —> mercedes amg petronas
so so eager to do anything for you!
but kimi might be quite confused about things, especially if you have some weird cravings lol
he’s going to joke about those brownies or steaks, even if you get mad with him, he doesn’t understand he overstepped until you’re really upset with him
so desperate to get you to forgive him
my boy is panicking
turns into a real-life teddy bear
too scared to say anything and trusts that physical contact with do the talking for him
would put on your favourite movie and press kisses all over your cute face until you pout
"please don't pout, tesoro. can i do anything to make you smile again?"
zane maloney | rodin —> formula e
takes this time as an opportunity to get to know you even better
long talks when you can’t sleep bc of cramps and soreness
makes it a point to ask about everything and anything you might need during this time
absolutely ridiculously in love with you, this guy, i swear
has a list of things to do before you get your period
"why would you have a period tracker on your phone?"
he's totally unfazed if you scream at him, which angers you even more and then burst into tears, because why is he so??
he would kiss belly, especially if you're ticklish, just to make you smile a little
paul aron | hitech —> bwt alpine reserve driver
actually enjoys this immensely
he feels useful and that makes him feel good about himself and your relationship
snack run? watch him storm out of the apartment in seconds
blood stain? more than glad to wash your covers
takes this opportunity to bring more blankets and tuck you in
would go absolutely feral if you're particularly sensitive during this time
has to touch you all the time, just to make sure nothing bad happens to you
right? hm, sure. totally not bc he wants to see you squirm a little, nope
pepe marti | campos, redbull academy
resident boyfriend material
but so so smug about it!!!
would be disgustingly overprepared and proud of himself, bragging about what a great partner he is
especially if you get emotional about it (hormones can be rough ugh)
stops yapping once he realises you’re serious and in need some comfort
you’re in his lap in seconds, his warm arms hugging your frame
i would picture him shirtless, trying to give you as much warmth as he can as you cuddle into the late hours of the night
luke browning | hitech —> f2
that’s, my friends, a classic gentleman
he’s quite known for being close with his family, very down to earth, and mature
so i think that attitude would extend to taking care of you during those few difficult days
i picture him calling his mum to ask how to be there for you
he's very perceptive, any gaps in his knowledge are quickly filled by his keen observations and eagerness to learn
would search the internet for cramp remedies and end up with some oddly specific ridiculous one
it's either a miracle or a total disaster, but he manages to bring a smile to your face every time, so he's satisfied
let me know if you'd like more content like that or any drivers you'd like me to write for
“Even if I tried to change, you’d end up with her anyway”

You’d always been into crafts from painting to crocheting to photography. Any kind of crafts had drawn you in. When you met Paul you were going through your drawing and painting phase again.
You’d wanted to draw Paul of course you did but you didn’t ask because you didn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable. Instead, you subtly included things about Paul in your art. From using only his colours to hiding his number in them as well. You thought he had noticed until one night when you were sitting on the couch sketching your little pup.
Paul was silent for a while almost as if someone had stolen his golden retriever energy and now he was sitting with a little pout on his face watching the TV. You were so engrossed in your sketch of your pup that you didn’t notice.
“Alright” He huffed pausing the TV causing you to look over at him
“You okay baby?” You asked tilting your head a little to look at him. Paul let out a breath turning his body to look at you a little more as he fiddled with his fingers. You’d never seen him look so nervous. Not when he was racing at such high speeds or when he was doing something else that could be classified as dangerously stupid
“What’s wrong?” You questioned with a frown moving one of your hands to hold his own
“You know that I love your art don’t you?” He started to which you nodded
“Of course I do. You get so excited with every piece I finish or start to be honest” You replied to which he nodded looking down at your hands
“I erm. I guess you could say I’m a little jealous of our pup” You frowned moving closer to him
“You want a little more affection? You know I’m always up for a cuddle or sex or literally anything to do with touch” You hummed wrapping your arms around his torso. Paul nodded with a smile
“I know you’re always up for affection however that’s not exactly what I meant. You’re always drawing our pup or flowers or actually anything really cute and you make it look even cuter because you’re drawing it” He explained and you smiled
“Baby? Would you like me to draw you?” You asked and he nodded shyly lifting his head to look at you
“I never asked because I never wanted to make you feel uncomfortable. I wanted to give you that little bit of space away from those kinds of things” You explained and he squeezed your hand
“I’d always love to be your muse even if it includes more photography or drawing but because it’s from you I think I can handle it” He smiled
“You know all my drawings and paintings have a little bit of you hidden in them” You smiled and he frowned sitting up slightly as you grabbed your notebook
“Yeah?” He asked and you nodded flipping through the sketchbook. Pointing out each of his team colours throughout his career, his number hidden within drawings or drawings based around his number
“I can’t believe I never noticed these” He frowned and you smiled
“I thought you had noticed them. It was my way of having you as my muse without wanting you to feel uncomfortable” You clarified and he smiled
“Armastus (Love) I love them even more now!” He exclaimed taking your sketchbook and placing it on the table to turn you around so that you were underneath him. His hands were on either side of your head as he leaned down and pressed kisses to your lips. You hummed into the kisses chasing his lips once he pulled away.
“Please never be scared to ask to be my muse again” You hummed and he nodded with a smile
“I think your first picture of me should be me shirtless” He joked with a laugh and you smiled placing your hands on his shoulders and pushing him up as you sat up. Paul leaned down pressing his lips to your own again.
“Hey wait a moment I was enjoying this” He whined a little with a pout and you chuckled
“But you’ve inspired me” You pouted and he shrugged getting up and picking you up
“You’ve got plenty of shirtless pictures of me. You’ve got a whole album! You can use one of them!” He exclaimed walking to the bedroom.
When Paul finally fell asleep you snuck out of bed and walked towards the spare bedroom that you’d turned into a little art studio considering no one ever stayed with you both and there was no need for it to be another bedroom.
Plugging your phone into your charger and setting it up on the tripod before opening up a new canvas and ensuring it is prepared for your drawing. You took your favourite picture of Paul – He was standing on the edge of a boat on a day trip looking away from you – and set it up so that you were able to copy it onto your canvas.
You weren’t sure how long you had been sitting on your stool drawing Paul before moving on to painting him.
“Armastus” Paul whispered groggily his voice horse from sleep as he walked over wrapping his arms around your waist his head resting between your jaw and shoulder. A hand moved to rest on his head running your fingers through his hair.
“Come back to bed. Please” He whispered and you nodded setting everything back to where it lived
“Come on then baby. Let’s get you some sleep” You smiled and he nodded standing back up to allow you to get up and walk back to the bedroom with him. You cuddled into him his head resting between your shoulder and jaw. His arms wrapped around your torso as you played with his hair.
From that day on most of your art became Paul. Whether it was pictures of Paul or drawings of his car. Anything to do with Paul you drew and he loved it. Posing more often so you could take pictures and in the end draw them.

paul aron is a pretty sleeper.
well, he is pretty at all times. after a race, cheeks flushed and hair messier than ever; curled up on the sofa with five blankets wrapped around him, the flu making his eyes all droopy; and maybe especially when he's standing on the top step of a podium, cap perched on his head and giant smile adorning his lips.
but even when he's asleep, lips slightly parted and nose scrunching up every once in a while, paul looks like god's most stunning creation. he's not just pretty, he's beautiful, with the type of boyish charm that can make any girl swoon.
back in the day, he adored the attention. nowadays, he only needs you to swoon, thankfully.
his light blonde curls are still tousled from the number of times your hands went through them last night, the feeling of his soft strands still lingering on your fingers. his face is so peaceful, a stark contrast to how concentrated it was a mere few hours ago when you were writhing beneath him as he whispered sweet praises into your ear.
the memory of yesterday makes a shiver shoot through your spine. it's your favorite way of getting ready to sleep; there's no better way to tire out than to spend some time with your needy boyfriend who's just come back from a triple header.
however, this is paul's favorite way of waking up.
the first thing he wants in the morning isn't coffee or a good bagel. it's to feel your legs tangled with his, your skin rubbing against his, your fingers intertwined with his. he doesn't really enjoy the sun shining in through the creak in your blinds, though.
"turn off the damn sun..."
the words lure out a sweet laugh from you, eyes fluttering closed for a moment as you relax further into your pillow. "can't really do that," you tell him with a shrug. "sorry, love."
paul groans – at you or the sun, you aren't sure, but the grumble that vibrates in his chest sounds a little like a frustrated whine, and you have to hold back another giggle. despite his sweet looks, he's a grumpy little thing in the morning; a fact you know better than anyone else. "not fair," he huffs. his accent is always a little stronger, a little thicker when he's just woken up, paired with the very melodious and dramatic tone he often uses which always manages to bring out a smile on your lips. "'m really tired..."
you hum in response. it wasn't too long ago that you both finally fell asleep, after all. when he lets out a sigh and finally opens his eyes, your heart skips a beat. or two. or five.
paul's eyes are your favorite things in the world.
they always have been. since the moment they first met yours, you haven't been able to look away. it's not just a common blue – one day, they've stolen the deep color of the ocean, and the next, they've mimicked the light blue sky of a sweet summer day.
they're especially hard to tear your gaze from since they remind you of so many things you love. the waves by the sea you used to visit when you were younger; the dark rain clouds covering the sky during a cozy storm; blueberry-flavored candy, blue raspberry sour patch kids, bubblegum cotton candy. sometimes even a purple nebula, giving birth to butterflies in your stomach instead of stars in space.
even half-lidded like this, sleep still clear in his gaze, his eyes are enough to send goosebumps all across your skin. the effect he has on you is just not fair.
"how are you even already so awake?" he questions, his tone complaining as if there's a personal vendetta against you not being as sleep-deprived as him. you shake your head, letting go of his hand to instead let yours graze his cheek.
"i've been awake for a while now," you say, watching as he pushes his head against your hand like a cat seeking physical attention, letting out a soft hum when your hand slips past his jaw and lands on the back of his neck.
"doing what?" he raises an eyebrow, albeit clumsily as he's still too tired to control his face properly.
his arm drapes over your waist, his large hand finding the small of your back before lazily tracing up and down your spine. "watching you."
"i can't tell if that's kinky or only creepy."
you scoff, tone growing defensive. "how would that be kinky?"
"i never know with you." paul gently pulls you closer so that you're flush against his chest, making it easier for him to bury his face into the crook of your neck. he inhales slowly, drinking in your scent, before letting out a sigh, his exhale tickling the bare skin of your collarbone. "you still smell of me, you know."
"wouldn't be surprised if the whole room smells of us..." his lips begin a journey upwards, trailing kisses all the way from the sensitive skin between your shoulder and collarbone to the underside of your jaw, before stopping to nibble on your earlobe. his callused palm caresses the skin of your naked back, before sliding down to your ass, squeezing it gently.
your eyes close again, body basking in the feeling of his lips and hands working in perfect synchronization. despite how awake you said you were, it's far too early for wherever this is headed. you call out his name once, then twice, but the sole difference is that his hand moves down to trail along your thighs.
the only thing you can think of is tilting your head down to meet his lips, your toes curling at the passion with which he's kissing you so even early in the morning. his tongue is already begging for access to your mouth, fingertips grazing the inside of your thighs and leaving you squirming under his touch.
it's all so perfect, exactly like it always is; with him pressed up so close not even a single atom could fit between you, with you finding no reason not to give in.
hips pressed against hips, chests against chests, mouths against mouths. your favorite place, your favorite feeling,
paring paul aron x fem!reader, word count 596, genre fluff, ( masterlist )
the morning sun peeked through the sheer curtains casting an angelic haze in your shared hotel room. the mishaps of forgetting that the balcony door is open letting the curtains dance in the light breeze. children’s laughter as they kick around a ball in a fun-hearted game just across the street.
hair sprawled across the pillowcase. your elbow digging into the plush mattress underneath you propping yourself up. you took the chance to admire your boyfriend something that you don’t get the chance to do often. normally, either you're rushing or he’s rushing not getting a mellow moment. even at times, the other side of the bed is empty and cold when you don’t share hotel rooms or he doesn’t sneak into your hotel room late at night. usually, in the paddock, it’s fleeting glances and very minimal grazes. by this point, you’ve memorized every single part of his features even with the short amount of time that you have to do so.
he lays on his back with his arms underneath his pillow. his blond hair unruly and disheveled. he gained the new nickname "blondie" after a few dates and refuses to reference him as another thing else. your nail lightly grazing on his skin connecting the light freckles that scattered across his back.
you raised your body sitting on the edge of the bed. your fingers fiddling with the buttons to slowly unbutton his shirt that you wore to bed last night to discard to take a shower and get ready for your spontaneous plans.
behind you, the blond shifts underneath the sheets. a frown appears on his lips as he feels disappointed that you're not cuddled up right beside him. normally, when he wakes up your pressed right against him almost entirely on top of him even though you’ve fallen asleep on your respectful side on the bed. his eyes fluttered open attempting to adjust to the sunlight beaming in. though he couldn’t see your face. he is only visible to your unruly hair and his oversized shirt slipping off your shoulders he found you incredibly pretty.
his gaze held so much love and fondness that it would terrify someone who wasn’t sure that he was the one but to you. you knew he was one when they first met eight years ago whilst karting around italy that he was the one that you wanted to marry. now, you never put any thought into your perfect wedding until the first time you saw him smile with sun-kissed skin and rosy cheeks.
you aren’t fond of the tan lines on your arms and thighs, but he was. you got offered a solution by him yesterday morning of just basking in the sun naked on the balcony, but you talked yourself out of that. you always sweet-talked yourself out of situations. you were particularly good at that and though it was quite annoying at times. it’s a quality that he loves.
oh, how he missed so dearly how your freckles adorned your sun-kissed skin that scattered across your slight reddened cheeks due to spending time on the boat more recently during his short period of a break. he missed adoring them in the colder months.
he lifted on his elbow gently moving your hair to the side to press a kiss on the back of your neck which was already littered with love marks from last night's activities that you had a slim chance of actually covering. he pulled you back into his warm arms and underneath the sheets once again.
಄ Paul was definitely the first one to notice the other, left completely mesmerized by you when he saw you outside the meeting room where you were going to be formally introduced as teammates.
— it's that…? no shit, that's my teammate
಄ It was his first year on the team, but somehow he only ever had questions when you were around to answer them—even the dumbest ones.
಄ He hid most of his flirting as jokes, even throwing flirty comments at other drivers just to keep up appearances (leaving a very confused Dino, Zak, and Ollie more than once).
಄ He tried to ask you out many times, but for some reason more people always ended up joining the plan.
಄ It’s not like he gave you special treatment, but if helping you on track meant a chance to hug you on the podium, he wasn’t going to pass it up.
಄ You gave in to the tension at the party after your first win that year—he offered to “get some air” with you and kissed you the first chance he got.
— God I’ve been dying to do that
಄ After that, he was anything but discreet, finding any excuse to touch you, no matter how much you tried to keep it under control.
— Not here Paul
— Yes here
಄ That’s why his favorite place was either your driver’s room or his—one of the few places where the adrenaline was still high and you didn’t scold him for going a little too far, so he always found reasons to go there.
಄ If fans already saw you two as a couple, it only got worse once things started getting more official between you—which amused him at first and thrilled him even more now.
಄ Just in case, he leaves marks on every visible part of your body whenever he can, so no other driver dares get too close.
— They're going to see it
— That's the whole point sweetheart
಄ He “accidentally” swapped your merch for his, which always got him into trouble with you—but it looked so good on you.
಄ There was one time he almost kissed you on the podium—you had to hug him to keep him still because you couldn’t afford a scandal.
಄ Sometimes you two help each other ease the nerves a little before a race (usually his idea, and he’s not above a quiet little plea from the other side of your door).
಄ Once, Dino caught you in the bathroom of a nightclub, and although thankfully he didn’t see anything explicit, somehow—neither of you knows how—you managed to make him believe it was just the alcohol playing tricks on him.
಄ Even during the summer break he managed to meet up with you a few times, slowly breaking down that “casual” label he used to describe your relationship.
