For @sunroki 😏😏

The desperation of it melted away under the upbeat sounds of the anthem. The trophy was bigger than he remembered, massive enough to contain the hopes, dreams and plans for this the second part of his career.

Max was in front of him before he even gripped the neck of his bottle, looking up at him expectantly and with a glint in his bright blue eyes.

Daniel shook his bottle and sprayed Max before he could spray him first. Pierre was already dumping his bottle over Daniel's head, giggling when Daniel let out a shocked laugh. Lewis joined in the spray and Daniel was barely able to keep himself from drowning in the bubbles.

Max watched him hungrily, how the champagne glistened along his skin, mixing with the sweat in his hair and on his brow. Daniel's smile was glorious, Max wanted to spit in his mouth.

Watching Daniel do the first shoey was a religious experience. The way his nose pressed into his boot and the champagne poured out down his gulping throat. Max imagined if he could press his mouth to Daniels Adams Apple and drink his own shoey that way. Imagined it would taste even better coming off of Daniel's skin, washing through his beard.

He accepted the boot eagerly and pressed his face into the opening licking and lapping at the champagne as if trying to show Daniel, to remind him that he could make it good. Make it wet and hot. Daniel watched him intently and Max locked eyes with him.

Pierre drank it quickly, allowing most of it to pour off of him before raising the boot to the delight of the crowd. Lewis drank it with a roll of his eyes and a shit stirring grin.

Max stepped onto the top step and raised his bottle and an eyebrow to Daniel who obediently walked over and opened his mouth, tilting his head backwards in supplication. Max poured the champagne, watching with hooded eyes as Daniel's Adams Apple bobbed with his swallows, the way how the fizzy stuff clung stickily to him, beading in his hair and on his skin.

They took the podium picture at the best of an annoying official and Max followed closely as they made their way back to the cooldown room. Daniel glanced back at him when they put their trophies on the table. The air felt charged.

“Amazing drive guys.” Lewis grinned, grabbing his helmet and gloves. Max and Daniel barely even looked at him. “Oh they kept the winners room in the remodel. I wonder if they still keep the door unlocked.” Lewis mused aloud. Max's eyes snapped to the door he was looking pointedly at.

“Enjoy.” Lewis giggled with a wink and he was gone.

The tension in thickened and Max walked curiously to the door. The handle gave way with little pressure and opened to a small room with a sofa in the corner. Daniel walked up curiously as well and Max grabbed him by his collar and closed the door behind them.
