I'm so glad you made time to see me/ How's life? Tell me, how's your family?/ I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever/We small talk, work and the weather/Your guard is up and I know why
So this is me swallowin' my pride/ Standin' in front of you sayin' I'm sorry for that night/ And I go back to December all the time
#pierresteban lore#don’t mind me y’all I’m simply webweave prepping LOL#but as an aside…. if there’s one pierresteban fic I would want#it would be set at the end of 2019. when este is out of a seat. and Pierre’s well. you know.#and Spa happens. and they don’t speak. they don’t talk about it.#but maybe they’re on the same flight home to Paris from Abu Dhabi.#and look. both of them have seen their dream come true and come crashing down around them.#and they had to do it without each other.#was it worth it? to lose the dream and lose the love?#not that they ever called if that. they’re never had the chance to try. but they both knew.#Pierre’s parents come to pick him up at CDG.#when he finally manages to haul his stuff out of baggage claim the doors to the arrival terminal open to a sheepish Esteban#standing with his hands inside his pockets where his parents are running to hug him#Pierre’s mom insists they drive him home. it’s not so far out of their way and cans are much too expensive these days his father bemoans#who are either of them to say no to that.#Esteban all gangly limbed in the back seat of their Renault. making himself as small as possible between the luggage stuffed around his feet#it’s almost like it was when they were younger#backseat backed with race suits and spare helmets#amd the sound of the two of them arguing over who gets the last peice of pascales chocolate cake when they get home#Pierre still today can only manage to get through half a piece until he gets full#Jean Pierre passes back the box of chocolates he always has stashed in the front of the car to them in the back.#Pierre takes it popping one into his mouth and handing Esteban the black cherry one.#Pascale tells Esteban she was so happy to hear that Esteban will be back next year. that they miss him in the paddock. that everyone does.#and Pierre didn’t know. he’d heard the rumours about nicos seat of course. but he didn’t know.#has to swallow his surprise#‘he was always in the paddock mama’ he says instead.#‘well you know what I mean darling. back where he belongs’#and Pierre does know. maybe better than anyone else.#when he turns Esteban is looking out the window.#‘I know what you mean. she’s right. it will be good.’
