"Lando, I have a tutorial on Zoom in 10 minutes, so I'll be in dining room all morning," Y/N told Lando over breakfast. The current global climate had impacted both her and Lando's life in numerous ways as not only had the highly anticipated Formula 1 season been postponed but Y/N's university had closed, and she now had to continue classes at home over Zoom. That was the current situation on this particular morning as every Tuesday she had a tutorial meeting with her tutor and tutorial group to discuss their readings and lecture material for that week. Every week, Y/N also had to emphasise the importance of these meetings to Lando, which he understood once Y/N compared them to his engineer meetings, and he'd usually take this time to do some exercise in the garden.
"No problem, babe. I'll be on the sim this morning practising for the V8 Supercars race." He replied while finishing his plate of scrambled eggs that he'd made Y/N and herself for breakfast. Y/N pursed her lips and furrowed her eyebrows as she stared at Lando. She knew he had to practise but he was loud when he was on the sim – that was no secret, and as if he could sense her apprehension, Lando set his fork down and looked up at her, "I won't be loud." Y/N raised her eyebrows as if to say 'Really?'. "Honest." Y/N shrugged her shoulders and a few giggles escaped her mouth, "Ok, I believe you." She stood up and left her plate beside the sink, pressing a kiss onto Lando's head and running her fingers through his hair as she passed.
As Y/N made herself comfortable in her makeshift office (which was really just the dinning room), she could hear Lando starting his stream. She had to give him the benefit of the doubt as he was being a lot quieter than he usually would be, which she was thankful for as she didn't want to have to explain to her classmates why someone was screaming in the background. Though they were her classmates, Y/N didn't actually talk to them outside of class with the only exception being when she didn't understand the work as then she'd message them with her queries. It wasn't that she didn't like them – they were all perfectly nice – it's just Y/N had her friends and the only similarities they all shared was their interest in politics.
It was fast approaching half nine, which is when her tutorial was starting, and as a last measure, she ran to his simulator room, "Lando, I'll be in my tutorial for an hour at least so don't come into the dining room or else," You paused to think of a suitable threat, "or else no sex for week."
Lando's mouth dropped open, "Two things: 1. You're lucky I have this muted or 10,000 people would be hearing about our sex lives, and 2. That's uncalled for. No need for that at all – I'll leave you alone for your uni thing." You slapped a hand to your mouth to muffle your giggles at the thought of this fans hearing you threaten him with sex.
Y/N should've known that it was a lost cause trying to keep Lando quiet. Ten minutes in and you could hear Lando shouting in glee and frustration at his simulator indicating when he had a good or bad lap. "Y/N, from this reading, what is your view on the lasting impact of colonialism?" Y/N's tutorial leader asked her as her classmates watched on through the Zoom meeting, probably thankful that they weren't asked the question. It was quiet as Y/N thought about her answer though her silence allowed Lando's voice to be heard and judging by the confused looks on her classmates faces; they could hear him. Y/N opened her mouth to answer the question when Lando barged in through the door, out of breath from excitement.
"Y/N, you should've saw it! My wheel nicked someone else's wheel and they were flying!" He heaved through laughter wildly with hand gestures as he mimicked the car's movement. Y/N had to stifle her laughter too, but that quickly comes to an end when he approaches her laptop and tried to push himself into view. "Hi everyone!" He says. "Lando out!" Y/N says attempting to shove his arm from where he was leaning against the table and her chair. "How is everyone? I'm Lando! I'm sure you all know Y/N, she's my girlfriend." He says with a goofy smile and without realising, a small smile appears on her face as she watches Lando talk to her classmates.
"How are you all coping?" Lando asks, it's very much a one-sided conversation as judging by her classmates' expressions, they're all very puzzled by this random person invading their tutorial. "I'm quite sad, you know, I was meant to be in Bahrain this week." Y/N watched as her classmates got more confused and after looking at her tutorial leader, she quickly got to her feet and grabbed Lando's ear, dragging him out of the dining room. "Ow... ow... ow," He moaned rubbing his ear once she let go of it. "I told you not to come in. I'll be done soon." She told him and promptly walked back to her makeshift office to continue her tutorial.
"Sorry about that. Where was I? I think that many former colonies still feel the lasting effects of colonisation-" Y/N stopped herself short as she glanced up to see the bewildered expressions on all their faces. "Can you all hear me?" She asked hoping there wasn't an issue with her internet as had been the case on previous occasions.
Her tutorial leader hesitantly nodded and then one of her classmates stuttered a response, "I didn't know you were dating Lando Norris." Y/N rolled her head in understanding at why they were all of a sudden so quiet. "Yeah, it's been about a year or so."
"Where you going to be going to Bahrain as well?" The same classmate asked.
"Yeah. Since Easter holidays start on Friday, I was meant to be flying out for Bahrain, Vietnam and China – I'd be back just in time for class on the Monday morning." Y/N replied with a laugh.
"You're so jammy! Getting to travel to all those countries."
Y/N furrowed her eyebrows as she eyed the particular classmate whom had said that comment. It wasn't the first time she'd said something that had ticked Y/N in the wrong way. "Well no. I've not dedicated over a year of my life to a guy so that I can travel with him." Before the comments could continue, their tutorial leader interrupted and continued their meeting. It was half an hour later when the tutorial finally ended, and Y/N wasted no time in leaving the meeting and charging out to find Lando. She was a woman on a mission. She eventually did find him, he had finished on the simulator and was now outside exercising in the glorious British sun. "Sun's out, taps aff!" He laughed from his position on the ground where he was doing some sit ups.
"You're an arsehole." Y/N said sitting down opposite him. Lando stopped what he was doing and stared at Y/N with an open mouth.
"Wha?"
"You did the one thing I told you not to do."
"B-but it was funny! I had to tell you!" He whined
"You should've waited."
"Would you prefer I make you wait for this?" He smirked and crawled on top of Y/N forcing her to lay down on the grass as Lando balanced himself on top of her with his forearms on either side of her head.
"You're meant to be working out." She mumbled.
"I am. See? I'm doing a plank." He lowered himself and pressed a kiss to her lips before raising again and repeating. "Now I'm doing push ups." He mumbled against her lips. Y/N felt his warm lips on hers and she completely melted into the kiss and Lando lowered himself to lay on top of her and then gently rolled over so that Y/N ended up laying on top of him. She pulled away to take a breath but not without giving him a chaste kiss. She settled on the grass beside him and cuddled into his chest.
"You'll be the death of me." Y/N mumbled into his chest with a sigh.
"What a pleasant death that would be." Lando replied running his fingers through her hair while Y/N gently slapped his chest for his cheeky remark.
"Cheeky bastard."
