WIP snippet (rainy day)
Will sat at the table, silently watching his brother crack eggs into a bowl.
“Jonathan…”
“Toast?” Jonathan asked, as though he hadn’t heard. But his shoulders were practically up under his ears, tense and pulled in.
“Sure.” He paused before he tried again. “About what happened…”
“You want to try coffee?”
Will blinked. “Huh?”
Jonathan shrugged as he shuffled over to stick bread into the toaster. “You’re not really a kid anymore, right? I was drinking coffee at your age. Younger, even.”
Will thought it over. Not so much whether to try the coffee, but about what it meant. If there was one thing Jonathan wanted, aside from Will’s safety and well-being, then it was for him to get to have a childhood. What did it mean that Jonathan was calling it on that count? Will didn’t want to be treated like a kid, and he certainly didn’t feel like one anymore—even if part of him did still desperately want to cling to those days when his biggest concern was the current D&D campaign.
Careful, uncertain, he said, “Alright.”
Wordlessly, Jonathan poured him a mug. He picked it up to sniff it suspiciously and maybe take a sip, but Jonathan held up a hand.
“Hang on,” he said. He turned away for a moment, returning to plunk a carton of milk and a jar of sugar on the table. He grabbed his own mug from the counter and took a long gulp before he went back to the eggs.
Will watched him some more. “You take yours black.”
Jonathan shrugged. “Give it a shot?”
He held out his mug seemingly without thinking. Will could see the moment Jonathan realized what he was doing—something as simple as offering his brother a sip from his mug. Something that never would have warranted a first thought, let alone a second. His Adam’s apple jumped, eyes flicking down to the floor. But he didn’t take his hand back.
Will was careful not to let their hands touch as he accepted the mug. Jonathan turned to watch him over his shoulder, the ghost of amusement pulling his lips at the corners. He raised his eyebrows.
Will took a sip and immediately made a face. He shook his head, shuddering, as he handed it back.
Jonathan huffed a soft sound that last week would have been a laugh.
“Try it with sugar,” he said.
Still smacking his lips at the overwhelming bitterness coating his tongue, Will poured sugar with one hand and milk with the other. Jonathan reached over to stick a spoon into his mug and stir it a few times.
“I usually make it strong,” he said, apologetic.
“It doesn’t taste like it smells,” Will noted. He’d always kind of liked the smell a bit, or maybe he just liked the feelings he associated it with—Jonathan making breakfast, Mom kissing his forehead while she accepted a cup. Safety. Warmth. There was a strange aftertaste of cigarette smoke; he was pretty sure that was some kind of phantom association from his parents.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. It smells nice, but it tastes like pencils.”
Pausing with a slice of toast in each hand, hovering over the plates, he raised an eyebrow. “And when it’s light and sweet?”
Will drank again. The milk and stirring had cooled it slightly, but it was still pleasantly hot. “Big improvement.”
Jonathan hummed in acknowledgement. “Thought so.”
Will parked the cup against his sternum, letting the heat seep through his shirt. It was plenty warm outside, but the heat soothed a phantom chill inside of him that he hadn’t even noticed until it started to ease. As though that evil was still inside of him, needing to be burned out.
He blinked. There was a plate in front of him; Jonathan was sitting across the table.

Hey I don't know if you were still looking for the footage of Jenson camera kiss from brazil 2009 but through my intense research I found a video of it!!
right here https://youtu.be/J1z_3iNFxM0 at round 8 minutes I believe. I've been looking for it myself for a while so maybe this helps some other people too!? :)
OH MY GOD THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! LEMON YOU ARE MY HERO 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕(x)
I love how blind I am. Like I literally glanced over that video when I was searching, but because it was a compilation vid from F1, I foolishly thought: "surely they won't have any footage that's not from the race archive itself!", but nope okay they just randomly drop that clip on us in a random vid okay thank you f1, I guess!!!!
I genuinely don't understand why they do things the way they do. Like on F1TV, they have the race archive, right? But then they have the highlights video....which includes footage that's not even in the original archive so I'm like huh????? And then of course they randomly release clips like that into the wild, like thank you, but jfc would it kill you to put them all in the same place??
