Work Text:
Lando decides to go to a corner store to buy some groceries, at one of the isles, he sees a man, a very attractive one. Wearing a corduroy. He leans onto his shopping cart, smiling. The man turns to Lando, smiling.
‘Can i help you?’
His scent of shampoo trails over to Lando, it smelled sweet, it was probably chocolate. Lando was caught staring, he covers his face with his hands, flushed and embarrassed.
The man chuckles at him.
“um.. I just thought you were really attractive.”
The man smiles.
“well, thank you…”
“Lando.”
“Well, thank you, Lando.”
They both smile at each other, Lando looking at him like he hung the stars in the sky.
“Oscar, Oscar Piastri.”
Lando smiles at the introduction, ‘He’s soooooooooooo handsome omg.’
“Nice to meet you, Oscar.”
He pronounces it kind of like “Oscah”, making Oscar smile.

At home, the living room is filled with a chocolate scent, it seems like the aroma diffuser works really well, paired with warm lighting. Lando lays on his grey couch, thinking about the interaction with Oscar today at the corner store. He couldn’t believe that such an attractive person exists. He smiles even at the thought of him. ‘Yeah, I think I love you.’ ‘I know we just met, but I have to confess, with you I don't see an end.’ thoughts linger in Lando’s head. Creating scenarios in his head,
“Holy shit Oscar, you’ll be the death of me.”
He says, to himself. Smiling uncontrollably every time he thinks of him.
Oscar.

The next day, Lando goes to the corner store again, with no purpose. Actually, no purpose to buy anything, but a purpose to hopefully bump into Oscar ‘accidentally’.
And he’s actually there.
“What a pleasant surprise, Lando.”
Oscar’s smiling at Lando. He completely loses it, ‘holy shit, he’s talking to me, holy shit.’
“Heyyyyy there, Oscarrr”
he says, emphasising the ‘r’ sound.
‘Holy shit, I did not just say that-‘ Lando thinks.
Oscar laughs. ‘Oh my god. He even laughs like an angel.’
“You’re gonna be the death of me.”
“What?” Oscar asks, curious.
“Nothing.” Lando looks away, blushing again.
“If you say so, Landito.”
“Landito?”
“Sorry. My mouth slipped.” They both chuckle. And they both just stare at each other, like the other would disappear if they hadn’t looked away. Oscar was the first to say something.
“Why are you here again, Lando?”
Oh how much Lando loved how Oscar said his name. It sounded so right.
“Well- I.. um..”
He couldn’t just say that he went there because of him, it would be weird, no?
“Well why are you here, Oscar?”
Oscar chuckles, then looks at Lando in the eyes, and said
“To see you, Lando.”
He said it slowly, softly, direct.
Oh.
It made Lando’s stomach turn so much, he blushed.
“Um.. me too..”
Oscar smiles.
“Glad we think the same.”
“Yeah..”
“Want to grab coffee?”
“What? Coffee with you?”
“Who else, Lando?”
‘Oh my godddd the effect he has on me is so unfairrr. He’s sooo sweet aahhhhhhchdhnx’
And so they do. They grab coffee, chatting about quite literally everything.
“Oh my god Oscar—“
I see my life, in your eyes.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
“Comeon, Lando! You can’t just leave me hanging!” Oscar says, playfully. They both chuckle.
“Well, you.. and I..”
“Me and you?”
“Yeah. I see my life in your eyes.”
Oscar blushes at Lando’s comment.
“I’m very flattered, Landito.”
“You with your Landito’s again, Osc!”
“Osc?”
“Osc.” Lando smiles at the nickname he made for Oscar, he feels proud of it. Oscar smiles back, a playful but warm feeling in the air, nothing can describe the feeling they both have. Like a promise. So cute.
Time flies in the cafe, the sun sets.
“Care for a walk along the shore, Osc?”
“I can’t see why not.” Oscar smiles at Lando lightly.
They walk along the shore together, hands brushing each step, Oscar takes his hand and intertwines it with Lando’s. It’s their first time holding hands, but it just feels— right, like they’ve been doing it for years, like it’s nothing, except it’s not nothing. Lando blushes at the hand hold. He stands there. on a deck, Oscar stops beside him. Lando lays his head on Oscar’s shoulder, admiring the sunset view. Oscar smiles at the sight of Lando on his shoulder, turning his head to the view too, such a warm moment, formed by a corner store.
