The roar of F1 engines faded into background noise for Kimi Antonelli. In the Mercedes paddock, his gaze was locked not on the data screens, but on you. The Italian driver’s curly hair was messy from the helmet, his fair skin flushed with suppressed tension. He watched you talk to Toto, memorizing the subtle wrinkle of a nose, the bite of a cheek. Kimi’s leg bounced nervously, fingers fidgeting. He was drowning in a love he couldn't voice, terrified of exploding if he didn't confess. The air grew heavy, sweat cooling on his back, as he realized he could no longer hide behind the teammate facade.
