#I am unwell #LandOscar #papayaboys #lookatyou
it's always "look at how oscar looks at lando" and never "look at how lando looks at oscar"
54 for omegaverse please and thank
54. "P-please scent me, I don't want to smell like them, I want to smell like you..."
It starts innocent enough, Lando popping his head around the door of Oscarās driverās room somewhere between press responsibilities on Thursday. āHey,ā he says, glancing at where Oscar is sprawled over the couch, scrolling through his phone. āCan you scent me?ā
Oscar raises an eyebrow. Theyāve been teammates for a while now, long enough for Oscar to know Landoās nose is sensitive. He particular, about who and what he does and doesnāt smell like. Borrows hoodies from friends and family to be wrapped up in their scent, gets antsy when things smell wrong.
So this. This means Oscar⦠His inner Alpha, the one thatās been screaming mine mine mine ever since he first laid eyes on Lando, rumbles happily. Oscar firmly tells it to shut the fuck up and turns to Lando, reassuring smile on his face, determined not to make this weird. Lando wouldnāt ask him if he wasnāt feeling uncomfortable, so.
āSure,ā he says. āGet over here.ā
Lando makes a happy noise and instead of waiting for Oscar to get up so they can do the whole cheek rubbing, neck nosing thing thatās normal between friends, flops down square on top of Oscar and snuggles in.
āOof,ā Oscar wheezes out, when Landoās elbow ends up somewhere in his abdomen. āOkay.ā
āHm,ā Lando says, shoves his nose into Oscarās neck. Oscar stares up at the ceiling, tries to think of Normal and Sane things that arenāt his teammate currently lounging on his chest, fitting into his arms like a puzzle piece sliding into place.
After about five minutes of Oscar trying to name every single part of the MCL60 in his head and not thinking about shoving his nose into Landoās soft curls and taking in his chocolate cookie sweet scent, Lando lets out a happy noise and gets up again. āThanks, mate,ā he says, and then disappears before Oscar can utter as much as a āNo problemā.
--
It happens again, after that. And again. Lando has clearly added Oscar to his roster of āPeople Who Smell Goodā, and makes grateful use of the fact that Oscar is just around, like. All the time. It reaches a point where Lando just follows Oscar into his driverās room between obligations, sprawls all over his couch, steals his hoodies.
Like he belongs.
And thatās. Thatās when it starts becoming a problem. Because the more and more Lando inserts himself into Oscarās space, the more Oscarās stupid instincts scream at him that heās his, that he belongs to Oscar, that he is his Omega. Which is stupid, because Lando doesnāt belong to anyone. Least of all Oscar.
The moment Oscar realizes heās gotten in way over his head is when him and Lando make it onto another podium, and when Max gives Lando a congratulatory handshake, Oscar actually growls at him.
Nobody catches it, over the sound of the celebrations and the general F1 post-race ruckus, but Oscar realizes that if he doesnāt put a stop to this now itās only going to get worse and that isnāt fair to anyone. Not to Lando, not to any Alpha that comes close to Lando, not to himself.
He doesnāt tell Lando, doesnāt know how to explain without putting his heart on the table and making it gratingly awkward for everyone involved, and so he keeps quiet, pulls away bit by bit, slowly disappearing back into the shadows he existed in before Lando put him in the spotlight.
Lando, for the most part, lets him. Frowns, when Oscar closes the door to his driverās room before Lando can follow, when Oscar moves away from his touch. But he doesnāt say anything, seems to accept the distance Oscar is trying to create. Doesnāt push.
It hurts, only a little bit. Oscar had fooled himself, at one point, that maybe it meant something, to Lando. But the way he lets Oscar pull away so easilyā¦
Oscar puts his head down, focuses on the car. Heās here to race after all.
--
The whole weekend has been shit. Qualifying was garbage for the both of them, and then thereās a sprint on Saturday that goes completely tits up, too. Lando ends up in the gravel somewhere halfway, and Oscar watches the screens, watches him climb out of the car, sulk back to the garage.
Lando gets subjected to a million interviews that all ask him the same questions, and Oscar can see the exhaustion on his face, from his end of the media pen. Something in him wants to reach out, pull Lando close, shade him from the rest of the world. He pushes that something down, and answers the fifteenth question about how theyāre expecting the race tomorrow to go now the car seems so spectacularly shit this weekend.
He doesnāt expect there to be a knock on his hotel room door later that night, revealing Lando in all his jittery, exhausted glory. āOscar,ā he says, mouth tight and eyes downcast. He looks so small, and Oscarās Alpha whines at the sight. āOscar please. I know Iāve been asking way too much, making you all uncomfortable but please, please scent me. I donāt, I donāt want to smell like them, I want to smell like you.ā
Oscar wants to give in immediately. Pull him close, press his nose into Landoās scent gland. Take off his clothes, because skin to skin scenting is always better. Wants to cover him until Lando smells like nothing but Oscar, so everyone else can smell who he belongs to. But thatās not. He needs answers first. So he restrains himself, tries to keep his face neutral as he says. āWhy me?ā
Lando makes a frustrated little noise. āDonāt. Donāt be mean, Oscar. You know. You know why.ā
āI really donāt,ā Oscar says, genuinely confused.
āBut,ā Lando says, āYou pulled away. Because you realized I was in love with you. Thatās why⦠You needed space.ā
Oscar blinks. Tries to process fifteen things all at once and comes up completely blank. āI needed space because I realized I was in love with you,ā he says, a little dumbfounded.
Lando frowns. āWhy would you need space, then?ā
āI, because I didnāt think you wanted me?ā
āWell, thatās stupid,ā Lando says, frown deepening. āOf course I want you. Why would I scent you all the time if I didnāt want you?ā
Oscar wants to bring up the nose thing, how he just thought thatās how Lando kept himself comfortable. Want to bring up how Lando never said anything. But itās details, really. Details that donāt really matter, not when Lando is standing in front of him, saying heās in love with Oscar.
So instead, he grabs the front of Landoās hoodie, pulls him close, presses their lips together in a searing kiss. Lando yelps, but then melts into it immediately, making a happy little purring noise in the back of his throat.
(Later, with his arms wrapped around Landoās naked, sleeping form, Oscar presses his nose into the place where Landoās neck meets his shoulder. He smells like LandoOscarLandoOscar, and itās the most beautiful thing Oscarās ever smelled. Heās falls asleep only seconds later.)
