Fics like half a second, half a life

“The crowd was brutal.” Lewis smiles without his eyes. “Didn’t hear a thing.” Nico says nothing. But he knows better. He’s known better since they were kids and Lewis took every karting loss like it was a death. Since the days Lewis would lie next to him in the dark and whisper, I have to win, I have to, it’s the only way they’ll let me in. Since Nico realized that losing cost Lewis far more than it ever cost him. “I didn’t come to fight,” Nico says. Lewis finally laughs, sharp and low. “Sure you did. That’s the only reason you ever speak to me.” - OR: Nico wins, but it’s like breaking the tape at the finish line and realizing you left something important behind at the start.
