why is it always a photo or a video of carlos looking at lando like that? like is he just hung the stars in the sky with his bare hands. like heโ€™s never seen anything more beautiful in his life. like lando is the center of his entire universe.

the way his eyes soften, the way his entire face shifts when lando talks. that tiny smile. that look.

itโ€™s a confession, a sonnet, centuries of poetry condensed into a look, three seconds of eye contact.

i donโ€™t think i would survive it, being looked at like that. i would be a puddle on the floor. iโ€™d ascend. iโ€™d evaporate and return as rain on race day.

soulmates, thatโ€™s what i always say. two souls pulled toward each other by some magnetic force. canโ€™t write this shit.

the way lando looks at carlos is justโ€ฆ soft.

and itโ€™s so different from how carlos looks at him. carlos is all pride. always the first to speak up, to hype lando, to show just how much he believes in him. you can feel how proud he is. It radiates off him.

landoโ€™s version is more internal. he watches. he listens. and when he looks at carlos, thereโ€™s this quiet softness, like heโ€™s holding something close, something he doesnโ€™t always put into words. Itโ€™s subtle, but itโ€™s full of care. but donโ€™t get me wrong, when he feels like he has to stand up for his man, he definitely does.

the way they look and gaze and stare is not the same, but it matches. like puzzle pieces that donโ€™t look alike until theyโ€™re side by side.
