♡ max verstappen
he's talking about you to charles, the dreamy look on his face and his voice completely different from his usual attitude
"haar ogen zijn de mooiste die ik ooit heb gezien"
"her eyes are the prettiest ive ever seen"
you happen to overhear their conversation and giggle to yourself as you walk past.
you confront him when the both of you are alone back at the redbull hospitality
"kun je herhalen wat je zei over mijn ogen?"
"can you repeat what you said about my eyes?"
he takes a few moments to process what you said, then his mouth drops into the shape of an "o"
"you understand dutch... you understand dutch?!"
♡ charles leclerc
talking about you to his brothers, Arthur and Lorenzo
"son sourire, oh mon dieu c’est si beau"
"her smile, oh my god its beautiful"
you watch from a distance and eventually Lorenzo and Arthur catch on. you wink at them and they give you the "he's obvious, we know" look
you muster up the courage to walk over, putting a hand on his shoulder
he jumps and turns around quickly "wha-what? yes?"
you flash a smile at him and whisper "je sais" "i know"
his face flushes so red, both his brothers and you burst out laughing immediately, which only leads to the flush spreading further down to his neck
he laughs it off but is still embarrassed and his brothers cant stop teasing him about it
♡ franco
ofc he's talking about it to pierre, right? one's a yapper and the other's a gossip king
"aahh, ella es TAN hermosa, todas las noches antes de irme a dormir pienso en ella y todas las mañanas cuando me despierto pienso en ella ..."
"aahh, she's just SO beautiful, every night before I go to sleep I think of her and every morning when I wake up I think of her..."
he'll go on and on and on, staring into the sky dreamily before pierre bursts out giggling and points to you standing behind Franco with your arms crossed, a sly smirk on your face
"SHE'S LITERALLY STANDING BEHIND YOU AAAHAHAHAHAAA YOU JUST EXPOSED YOUR DEEPEST DARKEST SECRET" pierre almost falls over laughing
"ah, ¿piensas en mí todos los días?" you tease, trying to cover your surprise with nonchalance
"ah, you think of me everyday?"
he scratches the back of his head as he tries in vain to stutter out an excuse
you step closer to him, wink, and walk away like nothing happened
franco almost combusts, his face turning pale, then deep red
afterwards, he somehow musters up the courage to ask you out—in spanish, of course ;)
♡ kimi
you heard him on the phone just 20 minutes before his first home grand prix, talking to a close friend
"se finisco in zona punti, le chiedo di uscire"
"if i finish in the points, im asking her out"
like you expected after the race, he approached you with a shy but ready smile
"will you—" "sí, kimi, voglio uscire con te"
"yes, kimi, i want to go out with you"
he gasps in surprise, eyes widening as he cups a hand over his mouth, staggering back dramatically
"WHAAAAA—" he says, unbelieving of your fluent italian
you just smile and reply "i'll see you tonight at eight. be ready."
♡ zhou!! (chinese is my second language so yea)
"我好想她呀……"he sighs sadly to his cat, Sweetcorn, while on mute in a voice call with you
"i miss her so much..."
Sweetcorn seems to catch on to her owner's rantings and pawed the "unmute" button silently
zhou, of course, doesn't realise that his talking to both Sweetcorn and an open mic, so he goes on and on and on until
"冠宇,我能很清楚地听到你!"
"guanyu, i can hear you loud and clear!"
zhou stares into the camera, then at the "mute" button on his screen, then finally at Sweetcorn
"玉米粒,是你把我害了我!!"
"Sweetcorn, it's you who sabotaged me!!"
Sweetcorn just meows once, as if mocking zhou, as you laugh in the background :)
