@mecachrome posted a thing about fennec fox lando and it gave me the brain wigglies so!!! here we are lmao
There’s some kind of cat in Oscar’s drivers room. It’s small and white, with giant ears and a pointy snout, and curled up in a little ball on top of Oscar’s discarded ‘Good Times’ hoodie. Oscar raises an eyebrow at it, tries to remember if he missed some kind of memo about service pets or something.
He must make some kind of noise, because the cat-something suddenly cracks open an eye and lets out a panicked screech noise when he spots Oscar, jumping up and beelining for the door, knocking over three water bottles and an entire side table in the process before disappearing into Lando’s driver’s room across the hallway, leaving a bewidlred Oscar behind in his own upturned driver's room.
And that, more or less, is how Oscar finds out his new teammate can shapeshift into a fennec fox.
--
Kim’s eyeing Oscar warily when he makes his way into McLaren hospitality that morning. “Uhm,” he says, eyes flicking down to the obvious bulge in Oscar’s hoodie pocket.
“Don’t ask,” Oscar says. “He’s refusing to get out of there.”
Lando chooses that exact moment to poke his pointy little snout out of the pocket, and blearily glares at Kim before tucking himself back in. He’s had this strange obsession with Oscar’s hoodies that Oscar’s long since given up trying to figure out. Nowadays he just accepts all his clothes are perpetually covered in white hair and that he sometimes ends up playing Taxi Piastri all weekend, especially when Lando’s having a bit of a rough one.
Which he’s been having a lot of, with the whole championship thing.
“Do I, uh. Does he want breakfast too?” Kim asks, still eyeing Oscar’s hoodie as Oscar sits down on the chair across from him.
Oscar shrugs. “Lando? Breakfast?”
His hoodie lets out a pitiful squeak. “Just a chicken wrap, if they have it,” Oscar translates.
“Right,” Kim says, and with one last wary look, makes himself scarce. Inside Oscar’s hoodie pocket, Lando lets out a content little noise, and snuggles ever so closer to Oscar’s abdomen.
--
There’s two giant ears poking out of Oscar’s suitcase. He squints at them as he walks into his hotel room. “How did you even get in here?” He asks, as he shucks of his McLaren branded hoodie and throws it in the direction of the suitcase. A singular paw emerges from the mess and drags the hoodie closer, so the ears are now covered.
“Just because I can see you doesn’t mean you’re not there,” Oscar says, shaking his head fondly as he flops down on the bed. “Also don’t think being cute will get you out of explaining how on earth you got into my hotel room.”
His suitcase squeaks. Oscar rolls his eyes and turns on something on the TV, propping the pillows of his bed up and settling in against them.
When he startles awake, roughly two hours later, he has a bundle of happily purring fennec fox curled up in his arms.
--
Lando has the zoomies. Oscar can hear, through the thin wall of his driver’s room, the telltale patter patter patter of Lando’s paws, the occasional crashing sound when he knocks something off something. Oscar sighs, hoists himself off the couch, goes to see what’s going on.
“Wanna talk about it?” He asks, leaning against the doorway as fennec fox Lando zooms over the couch and faults over the massage table. “Come on, bud. You can’t go into the car like this.”
That seems to do the trick. Unfortunately fox Lando decides to change back into human Lando halfway his jump towards the closet, and so he ends up flinging himself bodily into it. Oscar rushes forward and only just manages to catch him when he stumbles back. “Careful,” he says, softly, looking down into Lando’s greenbluegrey eyes as Lando smiles a little bashfully at him.
“My hero,” Lando says, bites at his lip.
“You want to tell me what’s going on?” Oscar asks.
Lando rights himself, steps away from Oscar’s arms. Oscar tries not to be too sad about that. “I, uh. It’s kind of. It’s stupid?”
“Okay?” Oscar asks, trying to sound as non-judging as possible. “You can still share.”
“Right. Uh. Hey, so. Remember how like. I love your hoodies?”
Oscar snorts. “Vaguely,” he says.
“Well, okay, turns out I uh. Also love. You.” Lando stares at him with those big eyes, hopping from foot to foot.
“Me,” Oscar parrots.
“You,” Lando says. “So, uh. That.”
“Ah,” Oscar says. “You know, that does like. Explain a lot.”
“Does it?” Lando asks, chewing on his hoodie string now. Actually, on further inspection, it’s totally Oscar’s hoodie.
“It really does,” Oscar says. And then, because it’s rude to keep someone waiting, kisses Lando square on the mouth.
Lando, clearly surprised by the move, squeaks, and promptly turns back into his fox form.
Right. Okay. That’s going to need some work, probably. But that’s fine. Oscar’s got time. Their whole lives, if Lando lets him. For now, he’s content with kissing the little fox between his giant ears, and trying not to laugh too hard when it turns back into a very disgruntled yet slightly embarrassed looking Lando.

(Happy 5k followers -> Have some ✨LUNCH✨)
Did a 20 minute drabble sprint with my speedy gentlemen buds and came out with this!
Prompt: “There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for you.”
I chose to do some Landoscar fluff :)
Under the cut!
It starts out quiet.
Like Lando isn’t even sure anything is even different. It’s casual. It’s normal.
But something has shifted in the way Oscar Piastri looks at him. And Lando doesn't know how to deal with it other than internal flailing and alarms screeching in his head.
“Here,” Oscar offers with a small nod, handing Lando his forgotten water bottle he had left abandoned in the hospitality an hour earlier.
Lando takes it from Oscar’s outstretched hand and feels their fingers brush just the tiniest bit from the pass. Lando shivers. He hopes it was internal shivering that is imperceptible to others, imperceptible to Oscar.
“Thanks.” Lando says mutely. And then Oscar does the damndest thing.
He winks at him.
Lando melts into a puddle. What is wrong with him?
—
Lando really should have the couch of his driver’s room facing the door and not facing away from the door. It was a tragic mistake in strategy on his part.
So it shouldn’t come as a surprise when he feels warm breath ghost over the back of his neck and a soft thud against the back of the couch.
He drops his phone. The traitorous device snaps into his chest and bounces onto the floor.
“Hey.” Oscar breathes down the back of his neck.
Lando makes a slightly mangled noise in response and scrambles to the floor to look for his phone. Nevermind it being a traitorous device, it’s now his savior to get Oscar’s breath away from his neck before he does something stupid like turn around and pull his face to Lando’s.
Lando finally grabs his phone and looks up at Oscar, who is now leaning over the top of the couch and tilting his head in a way Lando would die before he admits he finds cute. He’s smiling and waiting for Lando to get himself together.
It strikes Lando then. Oscar’s always waiting for him. Never pushy. Never impatient. Just. Waiting. Like he’s got all the time in the world for him.
He clears his throat. “Is it a habit of yours to frighten men in their own driver’s rooms?”
Oscar laughs, quiet and jerky, like he’s trying to bend over the front of the couch. He shakes his head. “Nah, just thought you’d appreciate these.”
At that, Oscar reveals a bag of stroopwafels he had been hiding behind the couch.
Lando gasps and climbs back up the couch to Oscar’s space.
“You dog. You did not get me stroopwafels.” Lando says in disbelief, trying to paw them out of Oscar’s grasp.
He hands them over with no issue, and Lando notices Oscar’s fingers linger just the slightest bit over Lando’s.
“Hopefully they make up for scaring the living daylights out of you?”
Lando nods his head hastily and starts tearing the package open before someone can come take them from him. Before Jon can take them from him.
“How did you get these past security?” Lando says with awe while offering Oscar a warm stroopwafel.
Oscar takes it and pops a corner of it into his mouth.
“There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for you.”
And Lando feels like the air has been sucked out of the room at the absolute sincerity in Oscar’s tone.
And then Lando finally looks up at Oscar, really looks at him. And he finds something unwavering in his eyes.
“Oh.” Lando gets out quietly.
“Yeah.” Oscar agrees, nodding his head a bit and then scratching the back of his neck.
“Would you get me chicken nuggets too?”
A laugh punches out of Oscar at that. And Lando appreciates the warmth that spreads through his chest at seeing Oscar like this. There’s something there. Lando just has to figure out what it is.
What Lando would find out later, is that Oscar already knew what it was. He would just wait a while longer for Lando to catch on.
