a hug from you ꨄ oscar piastri

oscar piastri x afab!reader

warnings: reader dealing with period pain, long-distance relationship, mostly fluff [1022 words]

request: heyyy could you do "you look like you could use a hug" + "it will be better in the morning" from the 💗 list? with oscar piastri please!

The heating pad was pressed against your abdomen, the warmth radiating through your body as you clutched it closer to you. The cramps were heinous, they always were the first two days of your cycle. The headaches and back pain that had started to accompany the cramps just an extra frustration.

The pain had started earlier in the day, after an already-nightmare start to the morning. From the coffee that had slipped off the counter early in the morning, mug shattering across the floor, to the package of paper that had flown off your desk later in the afternoon - it felt like everything was slowly getting worse and piling up as the day progressed.

This agonizing pain radiating from your uterus was simply the icing on the cake. Tears had already been irrationally shed, junk food consumed. All you wanted to do now was curl up on the couch with the heating pad and a blanket, maybe a few snacks, and the television on to whatever sad show you could find.

Physical comfort from your favourite person, would also be a plus. The only thing you actually wanted, too.

Unfortunately, Oscar was still on a plane. He was coming home from London for winter break, the Formula 1 season having finally come to an end.

It was the only thing you were looking forward to now. Even if the pain radiating from your uterus had you clutching the heating pad closer to your abdomen every few moments, a grimace so evident on your features - all you could think about was the fact Oscar would be walking through the apartment door in a few short hours.

Oscar had texted you from his layover in Singapore hours ago, advising he was about to get on the plane and would message you when the plane touched down in Melbourne. Having taken the same flight more times than you can even count, you knew it wouldn’t be much longer til he was back home in his home country.

The ding from your phone minutes later being exactly what you thought, Oscar had landed and was just grabbing his luggage. He’d likely be home in the next hour.

Knowing how late it was, Oscar wasn’t expecting a response from you when he messaged you to let you know he was on his way home. The surprise of receiving a response almost immediately prompted a small smile to curl up on his lips.

He hadn’t seen you in almost a month in a half, both schedules being too hectic to make time for him to fly home, or for you to fly out to a race. He had been dying to see you from the moment he stepped on the plane in London, excited to get the chance to curl up around you and simply sleep after such a long flight. He would be the first one to admit how much he detested sleeping alone.

You were thinking the same thing, except all you wanted was to be wrapped up in his arms, his warm body helping to alleviate the never-ending cramping that felt like it was overtaking your body.

It didn’t take him long to get to your shared apartment once he finally hit the road, the late hour making it a smooth drive; no other cars on the road to impede his heavy foot that was currently pressing down on the gas pedal. 

The click of the lock had your head whipping towards the door from your spot on the couch, your face lighting up as the door swung open. Oscar had bags hanging off all his limbs, a backpack on his back, two suitcases beside his legs, a duffle swung up on his arms. But you could still see the smile on his face once your eyes connected with his.

It took him a moment to register you in the dark of the apartment, the only light being from the hallway and the television. He instantly clocked the heating pad pressed to your abdomen overtop of the blanket, the packages of snacks laid out on the coffee table in front of you, and the show you only ever watched during this time of the month replaying on the television - his own grimace overtook his features once he wrapped his head around everything.

Dragging all his belongings into the room, he made his way over to you. Internally groaning as you sat up, Oscar was quick to place a soft peck to your lips, your cheeks, and then your forehead.

“Hi, baby,” he said, a soft smile etched on his cheeks.

“Hi, Osc. Missed you,” you murmured.

“Missed you more. You look like you could use a hug,” the words left his lips, his eyes following your movements as you shrugged, a small nod following.

He knew you like the back of his hand, knew that all you wanted was affection and cuddles from him when your body was hurting like this. Which, after almost an entire day of flying, he was more than happy to grab your hand and drag you towards the bedroom, his bags a problem for another day as he flopped down on the bed, his jacket, shirt, and pants having already found their way to the floor. 

Eagerly dragging you into bed with him, he was quick to wrap his arms around you, tugging your body into his as he nestled his face into your neck. The exhale that fell from your lips was one of content. Happy to finally be wrapped in Oscar’s arms again, the warmth radiating from his body soothing the ache in yours.

“Missed you so much, Osc. Hate being away you for so long. Hate being alone when my body is trying to kill me.” 

You felt him press a kiss to the exposed skin of your neck.

“Well, I’m home now. Everything will be better in the morning, my love.”

You hoped he was right. Really, you knew he was right. Your cramps wouldn’t be as bad, everything that had happened today would be yesterday’s problem. You got to wake up next to Oscar, had the opportunity to finally spend another day with him.

It was all you could ask for, really.

i don't love this, but i rewrote it so many times i needed to get it out??? all i want is oscar to comfort me when i'm dealing with this tho sooo

[elementalwife]

Hamilton counting down the days until Mercedes upgrades arrive after fighting his way up to P6 in Miami

Lewis Hamilton says he had "a lot of fun" fighting his way through the field in Miami – but added he's "counting down the days" until he gets his hands on the new Mercedes upgrade package in Imola. The seven-time champ managed to come home in sixth place in Florida despite starting down in P13 after a difficult qualifying session on Saturday. Starting down the order, Mercedes opted to gamble with the hard tyre off the line, hoping a longer first stint would pay dividends later on. With Hamilton stuck behind Alex Albon in a DRS train, it looked as if traffic would wreck his strategy – but once those around him pitted, he was able to extend the life of his tyres and run long enough to swap to medium tyres much later on. On fresh rubber, Hamilton picked off Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc to climb to sixth – running out of laps to chase down Carlos Sainz in fifth. MONDAY MORNING DEBRIEF: The rain never came, but the weather still proved decisive in Miami – here’s why “I think to get from 13th to sixth I’m pretty happy with that," he said. "Unfortunately, we started so far behind, but I enjoyed the race. “Saturday was difficult, but I always try to turn negatives into positives. I had a lot of fun making my way through; it was great to have several battles, so I enjoyed it. This feature is currently not available because you need to provide consent to functional cookies. Please update your cookie preferences Hamilton explains he 'had a great time' battling from P13 to P6 in Miami “It wasn’t spectacular at the start as we were stuck in a DRS train and struggling to overtake. I had to bide my time and then eventually, I was able to start attacking. The car was much better on the medium tyre and came alive midway through the race.” After a breakthrough performance for the W14 in Melbourne, the last two races have been more challenging for Mercedes, with Red Bull’s dominance clear to see. But the Silver Arrows have those much discussed upgrades coming for the next race in Imola – something Hamilton couldn’t hide his excitement for. READ MORE: 'We are very, very far away' – Sainz and Leclerc exasperated by ‘incredibly difficult’ Ferrari SF-23 “Definitely been counting down the days for it,” he said. “I’ll find out this week what we are expecting. What kind of trajectory that puts us but I’m really hopeful that helps us take a step forward. I think others might bring upgrades as well, so it will be really interesting to see where we are with the lay of the land but I’m excited.” Mercedes remain third in the constructors’ championship, just six points behind Aston Martin. via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Land prices in Drouin have seen a steady increase over the past few years, reflective of its growing popularity as a semi-rural retreat close to Melbourne. As of early 2024, the average price per square meter in Drouin sits around AUD 650-750. However, this can fluctuate depending on proximity to key amenities, such as schools, transportation links, and the town center.

For example, properties closer to Princes Freeway, offering quicker access to Melbourne, tend to command higher prices, whereas land on the outskirts of town may be priced lower. In comparison, the median price for land in Melbourne's outer suburbs can range from AUD 900-1,200 per square meter, making Drouin a more affordable alternative for those seeking both space and value.

Investors looking to purchase larger plots for future development will find that Drouin offers better price flexibility compared to metropolitan areas, but prices are steadily rising. This upward trend suggests that now may be the time to invest before costs mirror those in Melbourne's outer fringe.

How Does Land Pricing in Drouin Compare to Nearby Towns?

When looking at towns neighboring Drouin, such as Warragul and Longwarry, it's evident that Drouin's land prices sit in a competitive range. Warragul, for instance, which is just a 10-minute drive away, typically sees land prices slightly higher, averaging AUD 800-850 per square meter due to its larger population and more developed commercial center.

On the other hand, Longwarry to the west offers lower land prices, with averages around AUD 500-600 per square meter, as it is further from major transport links and amenities. Buyers who prioritize proximity to Melbourne’s CBD, and who want to capitalize on the future development of the region, may find Drouin a balanced option.

Drouin offers the advantage of a lower price point compared to Warragul while maintaining access to similar infrastructure, making it an appealing choice for both investors and families. This strategic pricing positioning is likely to continue as more people look for affordable alternatives outside of the metro core.

What Are the Zoning Rules for Residential Land in Drouin?

Zoning regulations in Drouin are pivotal for determining the potential uses of a land plot. Most residential land falls under General Residential Zone (GRZ), allowing for a variety of dwelling types, including single homes, townhouses, and low-density apartments. The Baw Baw Shire governs zoning, and they often promote medium-density housing developments due to population growth.

For example, if you purchase land within the GRZ, you will have greater flexibility in building, including possible subdivision, provided that minimum lot size requirements are met. However, rural and low-density areas around Drouin may fall under the Low-Density Residential Zone (LDRZ) or Farming Zone (FZ), restricting subdivision and limiting building density to preserve the semi-rural character.

It's essential to consult with the local council to understand the precise zoning of a particular plot, especially if your intention is development. A misstep in zoning comprehension can lead to costly adjustments later on. Therefore, early understanding of these regulations will streamline your planning process.

What Factors Affect the Investment Potential of Land in Drouin?

Several factors determine the investment potential of land in Drouin, including future infrastructure projects, demand for housing, and local amenities. The town’s growing population is a primary driver of increasing land value. According to Baw Baw Shire, Drouin’s population is expected to grow by over 20% in the next decade, driven by both local migration and Melbourne residents seeking affordable land.

Another key factor is the ongoing improvement of transport links, including the expansion of Princes Freeway and the enhancement of V/Line rail services. These projects reduce commute times to Melbourne, making Drouin more attractive to those working in the city but preferring a quieter lifestyle.

Moreover, as Drouin continues to develop, more businesses and services are moving into the area, increasing demand for both residential and commercial land. Investors looking for mid to long-term gains can benefit from this continued growth, especially as the area begins to resemble more urbanized communities.

What Utilities Are Available for Land in Drouin?

Access to essential utilities is a crucial consideration when purchasing land, and Drouin offers well-established infrastructure. Most residential plots within the town are connected to mains water, electricity, gas, and NBN (National Broadband Network). However, land on the outskirts or in more rural zones may require additional setup, particularly for gas and high-speed internet.

New developments often come with pre-installed utilities, while older or more isolated plots may necessitate further investment in connecting to municipal services. For example, land buyers in areas like Jindivick or Labertouche, which border Drouin, may find that while water and electricity are readily available, connecting to gas mains could involve added expense.

Ensuring these utilities are either available or factored into your budget will save time and unexpected costs later in the building process. Given that utility connections can significantly influence the value and usability of land, it is a crucial consideration in the purchasing process.

How Has Drouin’s Land Market Changed in the Past Five Years?

Over the past five years, Drouin has experienced significant growth in its land market, with an average price increase of 8-10% per annum. This surge has been driven by several factors, including regional migration, affordability compared to Melbourne, and improving infrastructure.

The median land price in 2019 was approximately AUD 150,000 for a typical 600-square-meter plot. By 2023, this figure has risen to over AUD 200,000, reflecting not just increased demand but also heightened competition for prime locations within town. This period has also seen a noticeable shift in buyer demographics, with younger families and retirees moving into the area, further driving demand.

Additionally, the pandemic accelerated regional growth as work-from-home flexibility encouraged city dwellers to relocate. Drouin’s rise as a semi-rural haven has thus solidified its position as a hot market for those seeking both residential and investment opportunities.

What Are the Growth Forecasts for Drouin’s Property Market?

Drouin’s property market is expected to continue its upward trajectory, with forecasts suggesting steady growth over the next decade. According to Baw Baw Shire's Strategic Plan, the town is projected to grow by 15,000 people by 2036, making it one of the fastest-growing areas in West Gippsland. This population growth will undoubtedly spur further residential and commercial land development.

Several infrastructure upgrades are also in the pipeline, including expansions to schools, healthcare facilities, and recreational spaces, which are expected to enhance the town’s livability and desirability. Furthermore, with ongoing improvements to the V/Line train service and faster access to Melbourne, demand for property in Drouin is unlikely to slow down.

While no property market can guarantee perpetual growth, Drouin’s mix of affordability, location, and upcoming infrastructure makes it a strong contender for sustained appreciation in the coming years, both for investors and homebuyers alike.

How Does Proximity to Melbourne Impact Drouin’s Land Market?

Drouin’s proximity to Melbourne, approximately 90 kilometers east of the CBD, is one of its most attractive features for land buyers. Thanks to the Princes Freeway, the drive from Drouin to Melbourne takes just over an hour, making it feasible for commuters looking for a more affordable lifestyle without sacrificing access to the city.

The town is also well-serviced by the V/Line train, with regular services connecting Drouin to Southern Cross Station in about 90 minutes. This combination of ease of access and semi-rural charm has drawn many buyers from Melbourne’s outer suburbs, where land prices can be up to double that of Drouin.

For investors, Drouin’s proximity to Melbourne ensures a steady stream of interest from city-dwellers, especially as the metropolitan housing market continues to push buyers outward. As Melbourne’s population grows and demand for suburban housing intensifies, towns like Drouin stand to benefit from this spillover demand.

How Do New Infrastructure Projects Affect Land Prices in Drouin?

Ongoing and planned infrastructure projects are key drivers of land prices in Drouin. The Victorian Government’s commitment to upgrading the Princes Freeway and improving public transport options, including increased V/Line services, is expected to bolster property values further. Such projects reduce travel times and enhance connectivity, making Drouin a more attractive place to live for commuters.

In addition to transport, planned expansions to local schools, healthcare facilities, and recreational centers will also contribute to land price growth. For example, the proposed expansion of Drouin Secondary College and new primary schools are expected to increase demand for family housing, pushing up land values in nearby areas.

Investors would do well to monitor these developments closely, as early investment in areas benefiting from new infrastructure often yields substantial returns. As Drouin continues to evolve from a rural town to a bustling suburban hub, these improvements will likely drive up both the demand and price for land.

Are There Major Land Developments Planned in Drouin?

Yes, several major land developments are underway in Drouin, reflecting the town’s expanding population and economic growth. The Drouin South Precinct Structure Plan outlines significant residential and commercial development plans over the next 10-15 years, including the creation of new housing estates, commercial centers, and community facilities.

One example is the Jackson’s View Estate, a master-planned community that has already attracted considerable interest from both homebuyers and investors. This development focuses on family-friendly living, offering a range of amenities such as parks, walking trails, and proximity to schools and shops. Similarly, the Ferntree Ridge Estate is a new community featuring over 1,000 residential lots, further demonstrating Drouin’s capacity for growth.

With the town’s continued expansion, new developments are expected to increase the supply of residential land, although rising demand may offset any potential price stabilization. Buyers looking for modern, well-serviced communities will find plenty of opportunities within these new estates.

What Environmental Risks Should Buyers Consider in Drouin?

While Drouin offers a picturesque setting, potential land buyers must be aware of environmental risks, particularly bushfire and flooding. As part of Victoria’s Bushfire-Prone Areas, certain parts of Drouin, particularly those near forested regions or on the outskirts, carry a higher risk of bushfires. The Victorian Building Authority has strict building regulations in these zones, requiring materials and designs that minimize fire risk.

Flooding is another concern, especially in lower-lying areas of Drouin. Although the town is not prone to regular floods, heavy rains can cause localized flooding in areas near Shady Creek and other watercourses. Checking a property’s flood zone designation through VicPlan can help buyers assess this risk.

Mitigating these risks often involves additional construction costs, such as fire-resistant materials or elevated foundations in flood-prone areas. However, many buyers are willing to invest in these measures given the overall appeal and potential for growth that Drouin offers.

How Do Soil Quality and Topography Affect Land Use in Drouin?

Drouin’s soil quality and topography are highly variable, and understanding these factors is crucial for both residential and agricultural buyers. The town’s landscape ranges from rolling hills to flatter plains, with soils varying from clay loams to sandy soils. For those interested in farming or gardening, the region’s fertile soil, particularly in the areas surrounding Shady Creek, is suitable for horticulture and small-scale agriculture.

However, land located on steeper hills or areas with poor drainage may present challenges for construction. Building on sloped sites can be more expensive due to the need for retaining walls or additional earthworks. Buyers should conduct a thorough geotechnical survey to determine the stability of the land and its suitability for their intended use.

For residential buyers, areas with gentle slopes offer scenic views without the complications of steep terrain, while flatter plots may be more suitable for large-scale developments or subdivisions. Understanding these characteristics will help buyers choose the most appropriate land for their needs.

How Accessible Are Parks and Green Spaces from Land in Drouin?

Drouin is known for its abundance of parks and green spaces, which enhance the town’s appeal for families and nature lovers. Most residential areas are within a short distance of parks such as Civic Park and Bellbird Park, offering playgrounds, walking trails, and picnic areas.

For those purchasing land on the outskirts of Drouin, the town’s proximity to Mount Worth State Park and Tarago Reservoir Park provides access to hiking, birdwatching, and other outdoor activities. These green spaces add considerable value to the town’s real estate, offering residents a tranquil environment while still being close to urban amenities.

Investors looking to purchase land near these parks may see a higher return on investment, as properties close to recreational areas tend to attract more buyers. With local councils continuously improving and expanding public spaces, the accessibility to green spaces will remain a selling point for Drouin.

What Legal Steps Are Required to Buy Land in Drouin?

Purchasing land in Drouin involves several legal steps, starting with signing a Contract of Sale. It’s essential to have a qualified conveyancer or solicitor review the contract to ensure that all conditions are met, including zoning compliance, easements, and covenants that may affect land use.

Once the contract is signed, a cooling-off period of three business days applies, during which the buyer can withdraw from the sale without penalty. Following this, the buyer must arrange for financing and conduct due diligence, including title searches and land surveys. Settlement typically occurs 30-90 days after the contract is signed, depending on the agreement between buyer and seller.

For those buying land in Drouin’s rural or farming zones, additional legal requirements may apply, particularly regarding water rights and environmental protections. Engaging a legal professional with experience in Victorian land purchases is critical to navigating these complexities and ensuring a smooth transaction.

Are There Any Incentives for First-Time Land Buyers in Drouin?

First-time land buyers in Drouin may be eligible for several government incentives, including the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) and stamp duty concessions. The FHOG offers up to AUD 10,000 for eligible first-time buyers who purchase or build a new home valued up to AUD 750,000. While this grant is more commonly applied to home purchases, it can also be used for building on purchased land.

In addition, buyers purchasing land to build their first home may qualify for a stamp duty exemption or concession, depending on the property value. For example, if the combined land and building value is less than AUD 600,000, the buyer could be exempt from paying stamp duty, which can result in significant savings.

These incentives are part of the Victorian Government’s broader strategy to make homeownership more accessible, particularly in growing regional areas like Drouin. Buyers should consult with a financial advisor or legal professional to ensure they meet all eligibility criteria for these incentives.

What Are the Financing Options for Land in Drouin?

Financing land purchases in Drouin can differ from financing established homes. Most buyers will need to secure a land loan, which typically requires a larger deposit (usually 20-30% of the land’s value) compared to a standard home loan. Lenders also consider the land’s zoning and potential for development when assessing loan applications.

For buyers planning to build a home, a construction loan is a common option. This type of loan allows funds to be drawn progressively throughout the building process, reducing the interest burden during construction. Some lenders offer combined land and construction loans, simplifying the process for buyers looking to purchase land and build simultaneously.

Interest rates for land loans are often higher than for traditional mortgages due to the perceived risk, particularly for undeveloped land. Buyers should shop around and compare loan offers from various banks and lenders to secure the most favorable terms. Consulting a mortgage broker with experience in land purchases can also help streamline the financing process.

What is the Stamp Duty for Land Purchases in Drouin?

Stamp duty, a tax paid on property transactions in Victoria, is an essential consideration for anyone purchasing land in Drouin. The amount of stamp duty payable depends on the value of the land and whether it will be used for residential, investment, or farming purposes.

For residential land purchases, the stamp duty rate is calculated on a sliding scale. For example, for land valued at AUD 300,000, the stamp duty would be approximately AUD 11,370, whereas land valued at AUD 500,000 would incur a stamp duty of around AUD 21,970. First-time buyers may be eligible for concessions or exemptions if the land and future building fall within certain value thresholds.

It’s important to factor in this cost when budgeting for a land purchase, as stamp duty can add a significant upfront expense. Buyers should also be aware that additional duties may apply to foreign purchasers, making it essential to consult with a conveyancer or tax advisor early in the purchasing process.

What Amenities Are Near Most Land Plots in Drouin?

Drouin boasts a wide range of amenities that make it an attractive place to live. The town has several schools, including Drouin Primary School and Drouin Secondary College, making it ideal for families with children. Additionally, the Drouin Shopping Centre offers a variety of retail outlets, cafes, and supermarkets, ensuring that everyday needs are easily met.

For recreation, Bellbird Park and Civic Park provide ample green space for outdoor activities, while local sporting clubs cater to a wide range of interests. The combination of these amenities makes Drouin a well-rounded community with everything necessary for comfortable living, contributing to the steady demand for land in the area.

What Lifestyle Opportunities Does Drouin Offer Land Buyers?

Drouin offers a unique blend of rural tranquility and urban convenience, appealing to a wide range of land buyers. The town’s close proximity to Mount Worth State Park and Tarago Reservoir Park provides ample opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts, with hiking trails, camping sites, and scenic views just a short drive away.

For those looking for a quieter pace of life, Drouin’s semi-rural setting offers peace and space, with many land plots providing expansive views of the surrounding countryside. The town’s strong sense of community is reflected in its numerous local festivals and events, such as the annual Drouin Ficifolia Festival, which celebrates the area’s heritage and natural beauty.

At the same time, Drouin’s growing infrastructure means residents don’t have to sacrifice modern conveniences. With easy access to schools, healthcare, and shopping, Drouin strikes a perfect balance between rural charm and suburban comfort, making it an attractive option for those seeking a high quality of life.

What Demographics Are Buying Land in Drouin?

The demographics of those buying land in Drouin have shifted in recent years, reflecting broader trends in regional migration. Younger families are a prominent group, drawn to Drouin’s affordability compared to Melbourne and the lifestyle advantages it offers. Many are first-time buyers looking to build their family homes in a safe, community-focused environment with excellent schools and recreational opportunities.

In addition, there has been an increase in retirees and semi-retirees moving to Drouin, attracted by the peaceful surroundings and slower pace of life. Many of these buyers are looking for larger plots of land to build custom homes, with space for gardens or hobby farms.

Investors have also become a significant demographic, particularly those looking to capitalize on the town’s growth potential. With its population set to rise and ongoing infrastructure improvements, Drouin has become a hotspot for property developers and those seeking long-term gains from land appreciation.
