━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
you don’t even want to be here.
the email had said volunteers needed, and your overly kind soul had said sure, why not, and now you’re seven hours deep into wrangling children hopped up on fruit snacks and sun. the charity event is cute in theory, music, booths, a little track set up for games, and a bounce house, but in practice? it’s a battlefield.
you’re stationed at the welcome tent, handing out wristbands and juice boxes and fake smiles.
your feet hurt. your shirt is sticking to your back. a toddler is crying because he dropped his balloon into a bush. and some guy just tried to cut the line because he ‘swears his cousin is already inside.’
you’re not proud of how close you came to smacking him with the clipboard.
but then, because life has a sense of humor, he appears.
franco colapinto.
and you know it’s him, because who else shows up to a local charity event in an alpine cap, looking like he walked out of a sports magazine and directly into your personal hell?
you glance up at the exact moment he’s brushing a curl out of his eyes, all casual and oops i’m hot and didn’t mean to beenergy.
he scans the crowd, sunglasses pushed up on his head, mouth curled like he already knows he’s being stared at. and of course he is. a group of teenage volunteers behind you are whispering, one of them literally smacks the other on the arm and goes that’s him. that’s that guy. the car one.
sigh.
maybe if you stay perfectly still, he won’t notice you.
but of course, you are not blessed with that kind of luck.
his eyes land on you. direct. intentional.
and he starts walking over.
great.
you busy yourself with the juice boxes, shuffling them around pointlessly as if they need organizing, as if you’re not seconds away from face to face contact with a walking headache.
‘so,’ he says, leaning against the table like this is his full time job. ‘what does a guy gotta do to get one of those?’
you glance up. ‘a wristband?’
‘nah. a juice box.’
you stare.
he smiles.
you hold one up. ‘take it and leave.’
‘whoa. feisty. is this how you treat all guests, or am i special?’
you blink. ‘i’ve been here since 6am. i have zero patience and less charm left.’
‘good thing i’ve got enough charm for both of us.’
you raise a brow. ‘that supposed to work on me?’
he shrugs, peeling the wrapper off a straw. ‘worth a shot.’
he doesn’t leave.
he just stands there, sipping slowly, watching you like he’s never seen anyone pass out juice before. his gaze trails across your face, not in a creepy way, just annoyingly observant. like he’s trying to figure out what kind of person signs up for this kind of chaos and doesn’t run away screaming.
you try to ignore him. you really do.
but then he starts helping. like… physically taking wristbands from your hand to hand them to kids, leaning way too close to read names off the sign in list, nodding solemnly at the parents like he belongs here.
and the worst part? people believe it.
‘you two are adorable,’ one lady says as she signs in her daughter.
you nearly choke. ‘we’re not—‘
‘thank you,’ franco cuts in, smiling like he just won an oscar. ‘we try.’
you give him a look. he winks. kill me, you think.
it gets worse when a small child asks for apple juice and franco picks one up, does a dramatic gasp, and goes, ‘apple! the superior juice. i like your taste, kid.’
you break.
you don’t mean to. you truly don’t. but something inside you snaps, and the next thing you know, you’re yeeting a juice box straight at him.
it arcs through the air with surprising grace, smacks him right in the shoulder, and bounces off harmlessly onto the grass.
a moment of silence.
he blinks.
then he laughs. hard.
‘okay,’ he says, holding his hands up in surrender. ‘i deserved that. i fully, absolutely, one hundred percent deserved that.’
you cross your arms. ‘you think?’
he’s still grinning as he bends to pick it up. ‘apple again. symbolic.’
‘you’re ridiculous.’
‘you like me though.’
you scoff. ‘i like peace and quiet.’
‘you’re blushing.’
‘i’m hot. it’s eighty degrees.’
‘you threw a juice box at me.’
‘you were annoying.’
he tilts his head. ‘admit it. it was kinda satisfying.’
you bite back a smile. ‘maybe a little.’
he grins, stepping back finally. ‘i’ll leave you to your cone wrangling duties. but don’t be surprised if you see me again.’
‘god help me,’ you mutter.
he strolls away, sipping the slightly dented juice like it’s champagne.
and yeah. maybe your heart is doing something dumb.
maybe you do glance up once or twice, wondering if he’s still watching you.
maybe he is.
you don’t expect to see him again.
honestly, you’d hoped the juice box incident would be enough to scare him off. but two saturdays later, at a completely different event, you’re there, collecting raffle tickets and babysitting the world’s most chaotic face paint station, and there he is.
franco colapinto.
wearing a hoodie this time. hood up. trying and failing to blend in, as if his stupidly nice smile and the way he walks like the world was made for him don’t give him away instantly.
you see him from across the lot.
he doesn’t even try to be subtle. just lifts his hand in a little wave and starts walking straight toward you like this is a planned reunion and not a complete surprise.
you look around. as if there’s someone else he could be greeting. spoiler: there isn’t.
‘you again,’ you say when he reaches you.
‘me again,’ he grins, pulling down his hood like he’s revealing a secret identity.
you sigh. ‘are you following me?’
‘you wish.’
‘so this is a coincidence?’
he shrugs. ‘or fate.’
you deadpan. ‘you’re insufferable.’
‘you say that every time.’
‘i mean it every time.’
he gestures around, like he’s settling in. ‘need help again? or do i have to earn my juice box rights this time?’
you narrow your eyes. ‘don’t you have a job?’
‘i do. it’s off-season. i’m thriving.’
‘this is how you spend your free time? crashing fundraisers?’
‘not crashing,’ he says, very seriously. ‘contributing. i donated five bucks to the bouncy castle. i’m basically a hero.’
you don’t laugh. you don’t.
okay, maybe a little.
he’s already rolling up his sleeves and jumping into whatever task you’re doing, like last time, and suddenly you’re stuck with him for three hours again.
he helps a little girl glue pom poms onto a paper crown.
he nearly gets paint on his nose and doesn’t notice.
he lets a five year old draw a blue lightning bolt across his cheek and calls it his new racing stripe.
and every now and then, he looks over at you like you’re the funniest thing in the world, even when you’re just frowning at a clipboard or trying to untangle a balloon string from a folding chair.
you pretend not to care.
you pretend really hard.
the third time is the worst.
mostly because… you kind of expect him now.
you’ve made the mistake of mentioning your volunteer schedule to a friend on your story. and it’s fine. really. except now, when you show up to the saturday pet adoption drive with a clipboard and a tight ponytail, you scan the crowd. like an idiot.
he’s not there.
you tell yourself you’re relieved. that you don’t need another afternoon of his smug little comments and stupidly good hair.
but you still keep checking.
twenty minutes pass.
an hour.
two.
he doesn’t come.
you keep busy. hand out flyers. try not to cry when a little dog named charlie gets adopted. organize leashes by size.
and you don’t look at the time more than seven times. promise.
at some point, you’re wiping your hands with a napkin behind the tent when your phone buzzes.
it’s a dm.
from franco.
you blink.
sorry i couldn’t be there today. doing actual job things. tragic.
you stare at it.
then another:
but saw apple juice earlier. still flinched.
and another:
still want to hang out sometime. even if you hit me with stuff. maybe especially because you hit me with stuff.
you can’t help it. your lips twitch.
you don’t reply right away.
you finish your shift. take the long way home. drink half a juice box you saved from the cooler, even though it’s lukewarm now.
and when you’re lying on your bed, staring at the message, you finally type:
you’re impossible.
three dots.
impossible but charming?
you:
debatable.
him:
you didn’t say no though.
you stare at your screen for a second too long.
then:
one coffee. you pay. no weird pickup lines.
his response is immediate.
deal. i’ll try to behave. no promises.
you tell yourself it’s just a coffee.
one coffee. thirty minutes, max. maybe forty five if he says something dumb and you need time to drag him for it.
it’s not a big deal.
except it is. because you spend too long picking an outfit. change your shirt twice. then change it again. then panic change it back to the first one and tell yourself to get a grip.
you meet at some small place he picked, half hipster café, half bookstore. it smells like cinnamon and old paperbacks. you hate how nice it is.
franco’s already there.
and of course he looks… stupidly good. hoodie, again. curls poking out. one hand lazily spinning his coffee cup. and that grin, that stupid boyish grin, when he spots you.
‘you came,’ he says, standing.
‘don’t sound so surprised.’
he does a little half bow. ‘welcome to the least boring hour of your life.’
you roll your eyes and sit across from him. ‘don’t flatter yourself.’
‘not flattering. manifesting.’
you try to look annoyed, but the truth is, you’re already smiling. just a little. traitorous.
you talk.
not about anything huge at first. just… dumb things. favorite drinks. worst airport experiences. why he thinks pineapple on pizza should be illegal (you argue passionately against this).
he tells you about crashing a go kart once when he was twelve because he was ‘trying to wave like a champion’ and forgot to steer.
you tell him about the time you accidentally walked into the wrong class and sat through fifteen minutes of astrophysics before realising.
he laughs with his whole chest.
and it’s easy. too easy. every time your fingers brush reaching for the sugar, it feels like something electric. every time he leans in a little, like he’s really listening, your heart stutters.
you should not be this into him. and yet.
you’re both halfway through your drinks when he goes quiet for a second, then says, ‘i almost didn’t message you.’
you blink. ‘why not?’
he shrugs, looks down, spins the empty cup between his hands. ‘i dunno. didn’t want to be annoying.’
‘you already are.’
he grins, but it’s softer now. ‘yeah, but like… in a cute way.’
you shake your head, but your cheeks are warm. ‘you’re such a menace.’
‘you threw juice at me.’
‘because you were asking for it.’
he leans forward, elbows on the table, eyes on yours. ‘maybe i was.’
your breath catches. just a little. just enough.
you clear your throat. ‘you’re not smooth, you know.’
‘i don’t need to be. i just need to make you smile.’
you hate him.
you really, really don’t.
you leave the café two hours later.
two.
neither of you wants to say goodbye yet, so you walk. just… around. your shoulder brushes his once. then again. then a third time, and this time, it stays there. just for a second longer than it should.
he doesn’t let go first.
eventually, you end up back where you started.
he looks at you like he wants to say something. then looks away. then back.
‘can i see you again?’ he asks, soft.
you nod. and for once, don’t try to be clever.
‘yeah. i’d like that.’
the second date happens faster than either of you expect.
you’d planned to wait. play it cool. but then franco sends you a picture of a strawberry smoothie and says ‘looked gross. thought of u,’ and you end up laughing so hard in the middle of your kitchen that you just… cave.
you text him: you free tonight?
he replies in literal seconds: always. pick the time. i’ll teleport.
you meet again at the same café. but this time, he’s not already sitting.
he’s waiting outside. leaning on the wall. hoodie again, he really only owns five of them, he tells you later, and his curls are just barely damp from the light rain that’s started falling.
he sees you and that grin hits his face like clockwork. like he’d been saving it just for you.
‘you came,’ he says.
‘you say that every time.’
‘yeah, but like… every time you do, it messes me up a little.’
you pretend you don’t hear that part.
it’s darker inside. quieter. the same table’s free, but this time, you sit next to each other.
close.
too close.
he smells good. not in an obvious, cologne drenched way. it’s something warmer. shampoo and sugar and the kind of scent that lingers even after he leaves.
your knees touch under the table.
neither of you moves.
you talk again.
about bigger things this time. pressure. travel. burnout. he admits he sometimes feels like everything’s moving too fast, and he’s scared he won’t be able to hold on.
you nod. you tell him about how you fake confidence half the time. how sometimes you feel invisible until someone needs something.
he listens. really listens.
then says, ‘you’re not invisible.’
you blink. ‘okay?’
‘just saying. i notice you. always have.’
you laugh a little. ‘that’s creepy.’
‘yeah,’ he says, smiling into his drink. ‘but like… romantic creepy.’
you don’t mean to stay late. but time’s slippery around him.
by the time you realize it’s almost midnight, you’re both sitting outside the café, sharing a leftover pastry and watching the rain slide down the windows.
you don’t want to go.
he doesn’t want to say goodbye.
so he walks you home.
he stops outside your door.
you both kind of hover there. like two idiots waiting for someone to do something. say something.
‘this was nice,’ you say quietly.
‘yeah,’ he says, and then, softer, ‘i wanna kiss you.’
your breath catches.
he doesn’t move closer. doesn’t touch you. he just stands there, all warm eyes and soft voice.
you whisper, ‘then why don’t you?’
he grins. all teeth and nerves and too much hope.
‘cause the minute i kiss you, i’m not gonna stop thinking about it. and i want you to wanna kiss me back. like really want to.’
you stare at him.
he shrugs. ‘just being honest.’
you nod. heart in your throat.
then say, ‘next time.’
he smirks, already backing away.
‘i’ll hold you to that.’
you tell yourself you’re not waiting.
not waiting for a text. not waiting for a call. not waiting for the memory of him saying i wanna kiss you to stop looping in your head like some kind of cursed romantic ringtone.
but when his name flashes on your screen two days later, your whole face warms.
what if we didn’t do coffee this time?
you stare.
what do you wanna do then?
he replies instantly.
drive. music. idfk. i’ll bring snacks. you bring the vibe.
you: so i’m the vibe?
him: always.
he picks you up at 7:03.
he’s in a black hoodie this time, and his car smells like mint gum and the ghost of bad fast food. there’s a half eaten bag of crisps on the passenger seat, which he tosses in the back when you open the door.
‘you’re late,’ you say.
‘you’re early. time’s fake. get in.’
he drives like he thinks he’s in a movie.
one hand on the wheel. other messing with the aux. windows down. hair wind-blown and wild. he sings under his breath to every second song. raps to the third one badly. you don’t stop laughing the entire first hour.
you don’t know where he’s going, but you don’t care.
being next to him feels like its own kind of destination.
eventually, he parks by the water.
some random lookout. the city’s lights glitter below, far enough to feel small. the kind of view that feels too beautiful to deserve.
you sit on the hood of his car. shoulder to shoulder. knee to knee. the air’s cold, but not too cold. and everything’s soft. quiet.
for a second, neither of you says anything.
and then, gently, he says, ‘i think about kissing you a lot.’
you blink.
he keeps staring ahead, like he didn’t just drop a bomb. ‘not in a creepy way.’
you laugh. ‘do you always think you’re being creepy?’
‘only when i like someone too much.’
the words settle in your chest like warmth. like lightning.
‘franco,’ you say.
he turns.
‘kiss me.’
his eyes go wide. like for a second, he’s not sure if he heard you right.
then, slowly, he leans in.
he kisses you like he’s afraid to mess it up. like he’s been waiting exactly this long, and not a second less. soft, steady, sure.
and when he pulls back, he just rests his forehead against yours.
neither of you speaks for a minute.
you break the silence. ‘not bad.’
he huffs a laugh. ‘that’s it? not bad?’
‘seven out of ten. you’ll need practice.’
‘cool. guess i better keep showing up.’
you’re not sure when it shifted.
when the maybe turned into definitely. when the texting turned into facetime turned into mornings with your feet tangled under his on the couch. when the almost turned into always.
but now, here you are, franco at your door with a half-melted milkshake and a stupid grin, like he’s been thinking about this all day.
‘you’re late,’ you tease, taking the drink.
‘you’re still hot,’ he says, walking in like he lives here.
(he kind of does.)
you’ve been soft ever since the drive.
he kisses you now like he needs to. like he missed you, even if it’s only been a few hours. like kissing you is just a normal part of his day, something between brushing his teeth and ruining your kitchen by cooking you breakfast at 2 a.m.
sometimes, you wake up to his hand resting on your waist, his face buried in your shoulder. like his body forgets how to be without you.
you don’t say it. not yet. but you feel it.
you think he does too.
it’s been weeks.
weeks since franco colapinto got beaned in the forehead with apple juice and decided that was the hottest thing that had ever happened to him.
weeks since he dm’d you with that dumb message: saw apple juice today. thought of you. still flinch when i see boxes. wanna hang out?
weeks since you said yes.
and now here you are, propped up on his couch, socks mismatched, face lit by the glow of a documentary you’re not watching, because franco’s lying with his head in your lap and he keeps dragging his fingers along your leg like he can’t believe you’re real.
‘what,’ you murmur.
‘nothing,’ he says. then, quietly: ‘just thinking about the juicebox.’
you snort. ‘again?’
he nods, sleepy and fond. ‘you threw that thing with intention. it was beautiful.’
‘you’re so weird.’
‘you’re the one who assaulted me with a children’s drink.’
‘you flirted with me for two hours while i was working.’
‘you looked hot with a clipboard. sue me.’
you roll your eyes. he reaches up, brushes your hair behind your ear.
‘you know i really did think about you every time i saw juice after that?’
‘you said that already.’
‘i mean it. i’d be in a store and be like… damn. i miss her aim.’
you swat him. he laughs. kisses your wrist.
later, when you’re brushing your teeth in his oversized hoodie, he pulls you into his arms and rests his chin on your head.
‘should we save the juicebox?’ he asks, voice muffled in your hair.
‘what, like… frame it?’
‘yeah. put it above the bed. shrine to our origin story.’
‘you’re so dumb.’
‘dumb for you.’
you groan. he grins.
he still gets teased by his friends about the Incident.
he still buys apple juice ‘for the bit’ and lines the fridge with it like a threat.
but when he kisses you goodbye before his next race, all soft and slow like he’s imprinting it in his memory, he says:
‘thanks for hitting me.’
and you say, ‘thanks for being annoying enough to deserve it.’
and maybe, maybe, that’s just your love language now.
hmmm so i lowk want sleepy franco, bc i had a dream abt him last night no joke. let's see. okay. we're on a plane, his like travel director guy? idk what he's called, but he books the wrong ticket so franco has to sit in economy class (horror) and he's all grumpy and tired and his curls are peeking thru his hoodie (HEHE) idk if you wanna make us a fan of him or not, i truly don't care ill read it anyway, and then drumroll please, TURBULENCE, and we hold hands and end up talking and then fall in love mwah

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
you’re already exhausted when you get to the gate. the kind of tired that settles behind your eyes and makes everything feel just a little bit blurry. it’s a late flight, barely-full, and you’re silently thanking the universe for that as you scan your boarding pass.
economy. window seat. quiet.
until he walks in.
it’s subtle at first. just a little wave of tension that passes through the gate area like a ripple, the way it always does when someone vaguely famous walks into a space not meant for them. people don’t scream or swarm, but you hear the hushed whispers, the occasional, poorly-hidden phone snap. and then you see him.
franco.
hood up. head down. dragging a carry-on with one hand and a coffee in the other like it might be the only thing keeping him awake.
he looks like he was just pulled out of sleep and shoved into an airport. grey hoodie. black joggers. a duffel slung lazily over one shoulder. and his curls, god, his curls, are peeking out from under the fabric like they’re trying to escape. messy and soft and unfairly pretty.
you try not to stare.
he looks grumpy. not mean, not rude, just tired in the way only someone who was promised comfort but got chaos instead can be. he stops by the flight attendant, glances down at his phone, then mutters something in spanish you don’t catch but feel in your soul. it’s giving: ‘how did i end up here?’
you turn back to your book, pretending you’re not watching him weave down the aisle, scanning seat numbers, getting closer and closer until
he stops. right beside you.
your row.
he double checks his pass. stares at the seat. stares at you. then groans, barely audible, and sinks down into the seat next to yours like it personally offended him.
‘la concha de mi madre… wasn’t supposed to be here,’ he mumbles, more to himself than you.
you don’t say anything at first. you just glance sideways, taking in the way his knees hit the seat in front of him. he’s clearly too tall for this. he exhales sharply through his nose and tilts his head back, letting it thud softly against the wall.
‘rough night?’ you ask gently.
he peeks one eye open.
‘travel guy booked the wrong class. s’posed to be business.’ he sounds like he’s explaining a grave injustice. and honestly, to him, maybe it is.
you bite back a laugh. ‘and now you’re slumming it with the rest of us.’
he looks at you properly now. eyes sharp despite how sleepy he is. ‘you make it sound like i’m gonna die in here.’
‘you might,’ you tease. ‘depends how dramatic you get.’
he cracks a smile, small, sleepy, but real, and pulls his hoodie tighter around him. then it’s quiet again. the kind of quiet that fills a plane before takeoff: muted announcements, seatbelt clicks, the soft shuffle of passengers settling in.
you go back to your book. or try to. it’s hard to focus when an f1 driver is breathing softly beside you, head tilted toward the window, lashes brushing his cheekbones, hands folded loosely over his stomach.
he looks peaceful like that. tired, yes, but soft in a way you didn’t expect. like he’s finally stopped fighting the chaos and just let himself be still.
you’re almost asleep yourself when it happens.
the plane jerks. a sudden lurch. not violent, but sharp enough to pull you from the edge of sleep and snap your heart into alert.
your hand flinches toward the armrest, gripping it tight.
and then another bump, this one stronger. someone across the aisle lets out a small yelp.
your stomach twists.
and then
warm fingers slip over yours.
it’s so casual, so easy, like he’s done this before. his hand is big, firm, grounding. he doesn’t say anything, doesn’t even open his eyes, but the pressure of his palm against yours is enough to slow your breath just a little.
‘just turbulence,’ he murmurs, voice low, raspy with sleep. ‘happens all the time.’
you don’t know why you believe him. maybe because he sounds so calm. maybe because your hand fits stupidly well in his. or maybe because, deep down, part of you likes that this stranger, this famous, hoodie-wearing, grumpy stranger, is the one keeping you steady.
when the turbulence fades, you think he’ll pull away.
he doesn’t.
you glance over. his eyes are open now, just barely, looking at your joined hands with an unreadable expression.
‘you don’t have to keep holding it,’ you say quietly.
he shrugs, thumb brushing against your skin. ‘you looked scared.’
you don’t answer. just look away, heart thudding a little too loud in your chest.
after a beat, he shifts in his seat, turning slightly toward you.
‘i’m franco, by the way.’
you blink. not because you didn’t know. but because it feels strange, intimate, for him to offer it like that.
‘y/n,’ you say back, voice softer than before.
he nods once. ‘pretty name.’
you smile, small and a little shy. and for the first time, you notice how close you are. how your knees almost touch. how your fingers are still tangled like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
somewhere over the clouds, in a cramped economy seat beside a boy who was never supposed to be here, something starts.
it’s quiet. unexpected. but it’s there.
and neither of you let go.
you land just after sunrise.
the light filters through the little oval window in soft streaks of gold and peach, brushing over franco’s curls as he stretches beside you with a sleepy groan. his hoodie’s slipped a little down his shoulder, revealing a white t-shirt and a glimpse of collarbone, and you don’t mean to stare, but also, maybe you do.
‘how’d you sleep?’ he asks, voice gravelly and barely awake.
you smile. ‘not much.’
‘same.’
you both sit there for a second, still tangled in the strange bubble that formed somewhere midair. he shifts, glancing down at your hands, still close, not quite touching anymore, but close enough to feel the leftover warmth. his fingers twitch like maybe he wants to reach back.
you beat him to it, brushing your pinky against his.
he looks over, and he’s smiling.
‘you hungry?’ he asks, suddenly casual. like you didn’t just hold hands for three hours in silence. like you didn’t fall asleep with your shoulder brushing his in the middle of the sky.
you blink. ‘what?’
he rubs the back of his neck, curls wild now, sticking out in soft little tufts. ‘there’s this café i always go to when i fly through here. their croissants are insane. i can… show you?’
your heart does something stupid.
‘yeah,’ you say, voice softer than you mean it to be. ‘sure. croissants sound good.’
you gather your things. he waits for you. and as you walk off the plane, into the cool, early morning quiet of the airport, something about it feels like a movie. the way your suitcases roll in sync. the way his hoodie sleeve brushes your arm every few steps. the way people glance over, eyes widening slightly, not because of you, but because of him.
he doesn’t seem to notice. or care. he’s too busy walking beside you like it’s the most normal thing in the world.
‘so,’ you say, just to fill the silence, ‘did your travel guy get fired yet?’
he snorts. ‘he’s on very thin ice.’
you laugh, and he grins, bright and sleepy and a little crooked.
the café is tucked in a quiet corner of the terminal. tiny tables. warm lights. the smell of espresso thick in the air.
he orders two croissants and two coffees like he’s done it a hundred times before.
‘you bring all your turbulence buddies here?’ you tease as you settle into a table by the window.
he smirks. ‘nah. just the brave ones who hold my hand mid-air.’
you roll your eyes, but your cheeks are warm.
the coffee is good. the croissant is better. and the company, well, that’s the best part.
you talk. about little things. stupid things. favorite movies. airport horror stories. he tells you about the time his luggage got sent to a completely different continent. you tell him about the time you missed a flight because you fell asleep at the gate. he laughs, really laughs, and you catch yourself watching the way his face lights up, the way his eyes crinkle, the soft edges of his tired smile.
you’re both halfway through your second coffee when his phone buzzes. he glances at it, then groans.
‘my ride’s here.’
you nod, trying not to look disappointed.
he stands slowly, stretching again, hoodie riding up just a little, and then looks at you like he’s not quite sure what to do.
you break the silence first.
‘it was nice flying with you.’
he huffs a laugh. ‘yeah. it was.’
you expect him to walk away. just wave, say bye, disappear into the crowd.
instead, he hesitates. looks at you like he’s debating something.
then
‘can i see you again?’
you blink. ‘what?’
he runs a hand through his curls. ‘i mean… if you want. i know it was just a weird flight and some turbulence and coffee, but…’ he shrugs, like he can’t quite explain it. ‘i liked this. i liked you.’
your heart stumbles.
‘yeah,’ you say, quiet but sure. ‘i’d like that too.’
he grins. pulls out his phone. you exchange numbers, fingers brushing as he hands it back.
‘don’t ghost me,’ he says, teasing.
you smirk. ‘only if your travel guy doesn’t mess it up again.’
he laughs again, starts to walk backward toward the exit, still facing you.
‘see you soon, turbulence girl.’
and then he’s gone.
but your phone buzzes thirty seconds later.
franco: next time i’m booking us both business class. just saying.
you grin.
yeah. you’ll see him again.
it starts with texts.
a few here and there. late at night. early morning. sleepy updates and little inside jokes. a photo of his breakfast one day. a screenshot of your playlist the next. nothing dramatic. nothing loud.
just a slow, easy kind of beginning.
and then one day, he sends you a message that says:
‘are you free this friday? i owe you dinner. and business class. but we’ll start with dinner.’
you say yes.
and that’s how you end up outside a small restaurant tucked between quiet streets, heart thudding in your chest as you spot him leaning against the wall, hoodie up, curls peeking out just like that first night.
but this time, he looks up and smiles as soon as he sees you.
‘you came,’ he says, stepping forward, pulling the hood down.
‘you asked,’ you reply.
he holds the door open for you, and it’s something about the way he looks at you, like he’s been waiting to see you again since the second you left, that makes your stomach do something ridiculous.
the restaurant is small. warm. dim lighting and quiet music. you sit across from him, nervous at first, picking at the edge of your napkin.
but he’s soft. all soft.
asking how your week was. telling you how training’s been. joking about how he’s still haunted by the flight. and you both laugh, really laugh, like it’s been forever since something felt this easy.
somewhere between dinner and dessert, the conversation shifts.
you’re talking about the places you want to visit. the little corners of the world that live on your bucket list. he’s leaning in, chin resting in his hand, eyes never leaving you.
‘so what you’re saying,’ he murmurs, ‘is that you’d need a travel buddy.’
you raise a brow. ‘you offering?’
he smiles slow. ‘i already know how you handle turbulence.’
you toss a sugar packet at him. he catches it.
and when the night ends, and you’re outside again in the cool air, he walks you to your car without saying much.
just before you open the door, he stops.
‘can i—’ he rubs the back of his neck, like he’s nervous now. ‘i wanna see you again.’
you tilt your head. ‘another flight?’
he chuckles. ‘hopefully without economy class.’
you step closer. your hands graze.
‘i’d like that,’ you say.
and this time, this time when he leans in, it’s not your hands that touch first. it’s his forehead resting lightly against yours. soft, sweet. the kind of almost-kiss that says everything without rushing it.
his voice is barely a whisper.
‘goodnight, y/n.’
and you smile, feeling weightless.
‘goodnight, franco.’
you fall asleep on facetime the first time it happens.
you’re both in bed, screens glowing in the dark, him in a hoodie again, hood up, hair a little messy from running his hand through it too much. you’re curled beneath a blanket, barely lit by your lamp, yawning as he tells you something dumb one of his teammates said in the locker room.
you’re not sure when you drift off, only that when you open your eyes again, the call is still going.
his camera is angled up now, like he fell asleep too. his face half-buried in a pillow, breathing slow. the little rectangle on your screen shows the soft rise and fall of his chest, a peek of his collarbone, the edge of his hoodie slipping down one shoulder.
you watch him for a moment.
just… watch.
something tugs at your heart. soft and sure.
you end the call before your screen dies, and sleep comes easier after that.
the next morning, he texts you:
‘slept better than i have in weeks. you?’
you type:
‘same. weird.’
he sends a photo. his pillow, a bit messy. the corner of his hoodie in the frame.
‘blaming you. don’t leave next time.’
and you want to tell him you won’t. that you’ll stay on the line until the sun rises if that’s what he wants. but you just reply:
‘no promises.’
he calls you that night too.
and the one after that.
the first kiss comes later.
not during a date. not at dinner. not even with music or city lights or anything remotely romantic.
it’s raining.
you weren’t supposed to see him. just dropped by his place to return something, a hoodie you stole without realizing. but he opens the door and grins like he hasn’t seen you in weeks instead of days.
‘you’re wet,’ he says, brushing a hand over your shoulder.
‘yeah, well, the weather’s rude.’
you’re about to hand him the hoodie when he steps back and says, ‘come in. or you’ll catch something.’
and you do.
you sit on the edge of his couch, water dripping from your sleeves. he disappears for a second, returns with a towel and a mug of something warm. tea. maybe. you’re not sure. you’re too busy watching the way his lashes stick together from the rain. the way his hoodie is half-zipped, revealing the curve of his throat.
he crouches in front of you, drying your hands first.
‘you didn’t have to,’ you murmur.
he shrugs. but his hands linger.
‘you’re kind of important,’ he says, soft. like it’s not a big deal.
you look at him. really look.
his curls are damp. his eyes are tired but bright. his thumb is brushing along the back of your hand like he doesn’t want to stop touching you.
and you lean in first.
not much. just a little. but enough.
his breath catches, and he moves with you. quiet. slow. no rush.
his lips find yours like they’ve been waiting.
just the softest pressure. the rain still pattering outside. his hand resting against your jaw, thumb grazing your cheek like you might disappear if he doesn’t hold you right.
when you pull back, he stays close.
forehead to yours.
‘finally,’ he whispers.
and you smile.
epilogue::
he’s already seated when you get there.
hood up. headphones around his neck. hoodie sleeves bunched up on his forearms. curls peeking out messily. the most him he’s ever looked.
you stop in the aisle for a second, grinning.
‘you’re in the window seat?’ you tease.
he peeks up at you with that sleepy half-smile, eyes already warm.
‘wanted to watch the clouds. but i’ll trade if you want it.’
you shake your head and slide into the seat beside him. ‘nah. wanna lean on you.’
he makes a soft sound, half a chuckle, half a breath, and reaches for your hand almost immediately. it’s instinct, at this point. the way his fingers find yours without looking. the way his thumb brushes over your knuckles like he needs to remind himself you’re here. his.
you tuck your bag away, get comfortable, rest your head on his shoulder as the plane starts taxiing.
‘remember our first flight?’ you mumble.
he hums. ‘economy class. tragic.’
you laugh, sleepily. ‘you were grumpy.’
‘you held my hand during turbulence.’
‘you fell in love.’
he turns his head a little, presses his lips to your hair.
‘yeah,’ he says softly. ‘i did.’
you close your eyes, smile against his hoodie.
there’s no rush. no uncertainty. no almosts anymore. just his hand in yours, the hum of the engine, and the quiet thud of your hearts keeping time.
somewhere in the sky, between time zones and cloudlines, he whispers:
‘i’d sit in economy again if it meant meeting you.’
you don’t open your eyes. you just squeeze his hand and whisper back:
‘good thing you don’t have to.’
and he smiles, forehead resting against yours, while the plane lifts into the sky.

I love Franco fics sooo much
@shitshowblog prompt request #1 - "I like your last name. Can I have it?"
Summary: Franco is notorious for his flirting abilities, but maybe he's met someone who can play him at his own game.
Norris!reader (bc Lando and Franco seemed to be good friends last year and I think this would be a fun pair)
Word count: 903
Lando was the least surprised person to find his little sister was interested in the Williams driver who subbed in for Logan. The two had crossed paths last year a couple times but it never seemed to get anywhere as more than passing flirty banter than disappeared over the winter break and with him not returning as a driver, y/n wasn't sure what to do.
But then he got announced as Alpine's reserve driver.
Y/n returned this year more determined to get Franco's attention and keep it.
"Hey, Franco." Y/n greets as she passes by him in the paddock making his head whip around upon hearing her voice.
"Hermosa, I-where are you going?" Franco asks expecting her to stop for conversation. But y/n has a plan and it doesn't involve making his life easy.
Y/n slows her steps smiling as she turns to find Franco moving to catch up with her.
"I was going to grab something to eat at McLaren." Y/n explains as if she's none the wiser. "Unless you know something better to eat?"
"I could suggest one or two things." Franco smirks dragging his gaze up and down y/n's body which almost makes her stutter but she manages to maintain composure and maintain the energy he maintains with ease. "I think my ideas would fill you up very well actually."
"That's a very bold statement. You should really act on it rather than saying it." Y/n states watching his eyes widen for a moment.
"Come eat lunch with me. I will make sure you are well fed." Franco states making y/n internally celebrate that her mission is so far a success.
-
It didn't take long for Lando to realise his sister wasn't going to be spending more than the journey to the track with him so he just let her get on with it because he actually likes Franco and while he doesn't want to think about what the two might've got up to last night after being caught leaving together.
"Try this." Franco demands holding his fork out with some Korean BBQ chicken on it that he took from the Alpine catering which seems to be providing better than McLaren today. Y/n flinches away from the suddenness of the fork in her face and she hardly has a chance to process what he's trying to feed her before he speaks again. "You did not complain at what I was putting in your mouth last night you can trust me."
"I prefer what you were doing with your mouth last night too." Y/n comments earning a smirk before she leans towards the chicken and finally accepts the bite to try earning a smile while Franco shifts over and kisses her cheek while she chews and nods in defeat of the fact that his food is much better than what she'd been offered. "Can I have some more?"
"Of course, hermosa." Franco laughs nudging his plate towards her for her to have some more.
-
Franco visiting the Norris family home since y/n still lives under her parents roof is already beginning to be more and more of a norm, but Lando hadn't been home during one of his visits despite being a witness to them in the paddock.
"You two are all over each other. Please." Lando groans as he walks out into the garden where the two are "sunbathing" but really are a couple movements away from having sex in the garden with how far their tongues are into each other's throats.
Apparently that was all he came to say so presumably he'd looked out the window and felt the need to speak up, because he disappears back inside.
"I told you we should've gone to your place with Lando coming to visit." Y/n states while Franco hums, his mind very much elsewhere and the lust clouding his eyes is definitely not going to be easy to clear so she has to say something to snap him out of. "You know I like your last name."
"Thank you, mi amor." Franco mumbles slowly coming down from his thoughts while y/n smiles a little.
"Can I have it?"
"Of course you-my name? You want my-oh-OH you are very good." Franco laughs then pausing. "Do you really want my name?"
Y/n had really just stolen the pick up line and put it to use on the Argentine. But in truth neither had actually discussed their long term future, they've sort of been caught up in living in the moment that they just didn't think about the future much.
"I...I mean it would be quite nice to think we'll last that long together." Y/n mumbles earning a grin before she is almost head butted in an excited kiss.
"Amor, you leave it with me I will make sure you get my name and anything else you'd like." Franco smirks then biting his lip for a moment. "If your brother does not want to know what we get up to, I will get us a hotel to have fun in."
"W-Wait, leave it with you? What does that mean?" Y/n questions realising she might've just encouraged a very early engagement.
"Do not worry about a thing mi amor." Franco assures her then muting her second attempt to question him with another kiss. "Let's go find a hotel."
