as a man why are u putting yourself in the hands of two other men . why do you trust them on a subconscious level. why isnt anyone else on your level just the three of you what have you been getting up to with them
ok ok oK BUT !!! i have so many thoughts n feelings about this (are we surprised. no. shut up) so this ended up becoming an essay whatever. also not a surprise. it’s under the cut lol
ok so. like i love the idea of seb n lewis being seb n lewis and then you have fernando around them. dipping in and out. seb being the one to like. draw him in. convince lewis that cmon this could be fun actually. and it’s chaotic as fuck and mental and just the right of awful to work but seb and lewis are the centre. the core of it all
but !! god. what if they weren’t. what if at some point lewis and fernando started hooking up and sort of just. never stopped. and seb and lewis have always been dancing around each other and seb knows. he knows. that lewis likes him. that sometimes. lewis may even love him. and he also knows. in the way that anyone who has eyes and was around during the 2010’s that fernando wants to fuck him as much as he want to beat him. but for all that he knows how lewis and fernando tick individually. he doesn’t get them together. but they are. together. somehow.
(fernando leaves and something settles between lewis and him. or maybe just. settles in fernando bc lewis is still the same. baku happens and for a split second at the end of 2018 seb thinks maybe — but no. no.)
(fernando comes back and the whole thing is so funny sebastian can’t even process it without making a joke.)
(the fact that he keeps making lewis do that hehe giggling hitching laugh is just a bonus.)
(they want you. jenson once tells him. and listen. seb is many things but stupid isn’t one of them. he knows. i don’t think i could share lewis. seb says and it’s not the whole truth but it sits in his stomach and doesn’t taste like a lie. and jenson. the bastard. just laughs. lewis would choose you. and that’s also not the whole truth but it’s maybe not a lie either. seb both wants fernando and loves lewis too much to do that and it’s all so messy so he just. doesn’t do anything.)
(he’s always been good at the flirting part. the pulling pigtails and fluttering his lashes and watching the other person waved between kissing him and punching him. the rest. well. the rest was not as easy.)
and fernando and lewis are almost. soft? some days. and seb leaves ferrari and he wants lewis. god he wants him. lewis who keeps making him laugh during briefings. lewis who calls him and chats about whatever but will sit there for hours and listen to seb talk about anything but ferrari. lewis who stays his constant even when seb isn’t racing him anymore. (seb and mine are my favourite i think. lewis says when asked about rivalries. when he could’ve said anything. anyone. and seb wants to shake him. wants to know where he fits bc lewis keeps saying seb has a place here. with lewis. but seb doesn’t know how —)
and now seb is racing fernando and fernando is racing seb and lewis is so far ahead of them that they’re never going to catch up and seb knows that and is even okay with it most days. fernando hasn’t quite swallowed that thought. seb can see it in his face after some races.
and then seb leaves and lewis keeps saying he loves seb. that he wants him. except he doesn’t exactly say that except he actually kind of does in one of his insta story things that way too many ppl screenshot and send seb and fernando is looking at him and for the first time in years seb thinks that maybe he wants seb in a way that is not connected to lewis and is not connected to racing and oh
personally, i'm convinced that all of this is coming from fernando having listened to seb's podcast episode, like this is his alonsonesque way of reacting to the whole yeah i don't know who fernando alonso is but i know that i love lewis thing that seb told the entire world
fernando was like. i did NOT put up with this twink flirting with all my boyfriends for fifteen years for him to sit here and say who is fernando alonso. he also knew he’d have to sit through seb and lewis being seb and lewis and watch lewis cry over yet another german blond bastard and there was no way !! no way he was going to do that again without being included. in other words the man just wanted a threesome
