Chapter Text
It was the start of the 2008 season, and both Nico and Lewis were stoked about it. The morning was cold, as it was still quite dark out. The two had shared a hotel room, which was something they never minded. The sound of the alarm blaring filled the dark room. Lewis slammed his hand across the nightstand, eventually hitting the snooze button on the clock.
The moment the alarm went off again, the two men finally woke. Nico shuffled to the bathroom, turning on the bright lights above the sink. He turned on the sink and splashed some cold water on his face. Lewis on the other hand had started changing out of his pyjamas. He tosses his night clothes onto his bed, and he slipped on a pair of denim jeans and a white and red t-shirt. Nico momentarily closed the bathroom door while he changed. He soon stepped out in a pair of light denim jeans and a blue sweater. Lewis observed the German’s clothing.
“You look nice today.”
Nico smiled softly at the Englishman.
“You do as well.”
The two stared at each other for a bit before coming back to their senses. Nico dug around in his bag, pulling out a plastic comb. He looked t himself in the mirror while he combed through his tangles. Lewis watched on, observing how the comb glided through the German’s blond hair. Nico chuckled when he caught the Englishman staring at him through the mirror’s reflection.
“Do I look okay, Lew?”
Lewis nodded his head slowly.
“I think you look wonderful.”
Nico places the comb down on the nightstand. He quickly runs his fingers through his hair, fluffing it slightly. He turns around, where he’s now facing Lewis. Lewis smiles at Nico’s bright expression. He takes hold of the German’s hand.
“We need to get going. I don’t feel like getting yelled at again.”
Nico slowly nodded his head in response.
“Yes… we should.”
