Pop star reader headcannons w/ Zane Maloney, Nyck De Vries, Alex Albon, Logan Sargeant, and Arthur Leclerc

Love you mwah 😚😚😚

-🦊

i love you too hehe

gn!pop star!reader

zane maloney:

your music is his new favourite thing and he will proudly tell any and everyone about it

can always be found at your concerts, silently mouthing all the words to your songs as he stares lovingly at you and no one else

appreciates the fact that you make subtle merch that can easily be incorporated into day to day life because you know it's what he prefers to rock when repping you

will sometimes brag about owning limited edition merch or special editions of your albums until someone reminds everyone else that he's your boyfriend and that's why (this doesn't happen often tho!)

nyck de vries:

uses your music as a way to motivate himself before a race - your brighter, poppier songs are his favourites for that purpose

before f1, nyck could always be found front row of your concerts, cheering you on, but post-f1, he sticks to backstage, still cheering you on but in a safer place, away from peering eyes

posts about your new music on his instagram story to hype you up to his followers because he believes you deserve all the attention

does silly little unboxings of your new albums when you are on instagram live because he actually loves interacting with you fans in all the ways he can

alex albon:

plays your music at full volume in his driver's room, annoying everyone who gets too close to it

loves interacting with your fans so will be in the crowd of any of your concerts that he can attend, hyping you up and cheering you on with the rest of your fans

gives his friends specified song recommendations from your discography as a way to get them to listen to you more

if you release a new album during the f1 season, he'll get a custom helmet made for the next race that is inspired by your album art to promote you

logan sargeant:

everyone is so tired of hearing about you and your music because logan does not shut up about you ever

hides backstage at your concerts because he wants to support you but the media is still totally down to pick on him so he prefers to stay backstage where he considers it safe

gets a small section of your lyrics tattooed on him, especially if you write a song about him, because he loves your music and wants to support you

won't admit it but he carries a copy of your newest album with him everywhere he goes because it brings him comfort

arthur leclerc:

LOVES to promote your music - treats it like it's his fucking full time job considering how often he talks about your music

loudly and proudly in the crowd of your concerts - everyone knows he's your man and will happily interact with him because he's so fun to talk to

always ready to sing your songs - he knows them all off by heart, no matter what language you sing in, and can easily win those "guess the lyric" games when its your songs

brags about all the limited edition and signed stuff of yours he has but everyone knows he's your boyfriend so they won't take him seriously at all (doesn't stop him though)

triple 22 + cuddling hcs?? (like fav positions, do they overheat, whatever else ur wonderfully amazing brain comes up with?)

my faves line!! triple 22 my BELOVED :D

gn!reader (cuddling headcanons)

jenson button:

will never admit it but he's a clinger (and everyone knows it)

doesn't really care what position you fall asleep in as long as he's got some physical contact with you (prefers it when his arms are around your waist though)

gets super cold in the night and ends up turning you into a human blanket - nine times out of ten, you wake up on top of him

loves to cuddle you during movie nights because he can use you as a human shield to hide his emotions behind

if you don't wanna cuddle, he'll might be a bit upset, but he'll respect your feelings (you might wake up with him glued to your back though)

sleepy kisses whilst cuddling? oh yeah, jenson loves this. it's his favourite thing in the world

yuki tsunoda:

doesn't seem like a big cuddler and before you he wasn't, but he loves you so much and craves the physical affection now that he's with you

has to sleep with one leg on top of both the duvet and you because he gets both too warm and too grumpy if he doesn't

doesn't mind if you can't have him cuddled up too close but he does have to have his leg somewhere on top of you

doesn't really like to cuddle outside of sleepy times but will display cuddle-like behaviour when you sit on his lap or he sits on yours

if you literally cannot have any physical contact at all when you sleep, yuki is gonna make you sacrifice a pillow or a plushie for him to snuggle up to

if he comes home and you're asleep, he's taking the opportunity to cuddle up behind you, caging you in his arms as he dozes off

zane maloney:

not a big cuddler but is very weak for you and will acquiesce to your requests for cuddles every single time

prefers it when you sleep on his chest because he finds the weight of you on top of him to be very grounding and calming, like you're a weighted blanket

despite this, he overheats insanely quickly but rather than sacrifice your cuddles, he sacrifices his clothes - why go without cuddles when he can just sleep half naked?

refuses to cuddle with you if it isn't nighttime because he gets too shy about doing it and he worries he'll fall asleep during it

if you don't want cuddles, zane is totally okay with that! he literally doesn't need cuddles to sleep so if you don't need or want them either, that's perfect

loves how peaceful you look when you're fast asleep on his chest and that's the big highlight of cuddling for him

hi, I just wanted to say that I really love your writing!

I was wondering if you could write a genderfluid reader coming out to zane maloney, yuki tsunoda, paul aron, mick schumacher, liam lawson and logan sargeant?

ofc! friendly reminder that i'm not genderfluid so this might not be entirely accurate

genderfluid!reader coming out

zane maloney:

when you first tell zane you have something you need to tell him, he's gonna be nervous but very patient, letting you take all the time you need

when you tell him you're genderfluid, however, zane is gonna be supportive but confused - he's honoured you've trusted him with this information because it clearly means a lot to you, but he's not entirely sure what it means

if you're okay with it, he'll ask you some questions so he can better understand you and your identity and once he's finished, he'll kiss you softly to assert that he still loves you and he's not leaving you

he's quietly supportive with small pieces of pride imagery here and there, but he can also be fiercely protective when someone does something to upset or insult you

yuki tsunoda:

yuki is gonna jump STRAIGHT to depressing conclusions when you say you need to talk to him - are you breaking up with him? are you cheating on him? are you dying!?

when you shyly stutter out that you're genderfluid, however, yuki is just gonna go completely blank and practically reboot because he doesn't know what that means due to english not being his native language

once you've explained everything about your identity, what it means and who you are, you'll shyly ask yuki if he wants to leave you now and ath that, he stares at you with a very angry expression because "why would that change how i feel about you? i love you?"

he's very angry and rude towards anyone who disrespects you and your identity but he's the softest bean ever if you're experiencing dysphoria

paul aron:

he's very peaceful and calm on the outside when you say you have something to tell him, but on the inside? paul is freaking the fuck out like.. full blown stressing

he's probably more educated on queer topics than some other drivers, so paul might recognise the term genderfluid when you come out, but he'll probably still have a few respectful questions to ask you just to clarify the details

it's a very smooth, easygoing and, at points, funny conversation and paul never once makes you feel unloved or unsupported

subtly shows his support for you via colour choices & emojis and pronoun usage even when he's not talking about you

mick schumacher:

clear head, open heart, rational mind - that's mick when you ask him to talk

when you shyly tell him you're genderfluid and you understand if he doesn't want to be with you anymore, mick feels bad because he does love you, and he wants to be with you no matter what, but, well, he's not sure what genderfluid means

once you've explained everything, however, mick is giving you a soft kiss, promising that he loves you all the same, and then asking what you wanna do for dinner - this changes nothing to him when it comes to his feelings, tbh

very open about queer rights/safety/pride and many fans pick up on how often he mentions genderfluidity when talking about queer stuff

liam lawson:

a bit concerned about why you wanna talk but he's acting really calm about it (he isn't, but let him think he is)

when you tell him that you're genderfluid, though, liam is just like "okay, cool. is there a different name i should call you? does it change? what's the right pronouns to use for you? and what should we get for lunch? im thinking..." like... he's educated and he's ready to make you feel comfortable in your identity

you're stood there in shock and liam just smiles at you softly before he kisses you and says that you can answer his questions when you're ready and if any of your answers change, that's okay too

liam is really chill about slowly but surely incorporating more queer rights activism into his life and he might even rock the genderfluid flag colours on his helmet

logan sargeant:

pookie boy is traumatised and probably never wants to hear the words "we should talk" ever again but, well, you're in your own head and didn't think that line through when you spat it out

well you tell him you're genderfluid, logan's response is both a) relieved ("that's it?") and b) confused ("i mean... i don't know what that is but you're not leaving me so!")

you'll explain it to him whilst trying not to cry over the second part of his response, and once you're done educating him on your new label, logan will pick you up and spin you around, delightfully celebrating you and your braveness

like i said in my fluffy non-binary!reader post, logan will definitely rock a friendship bracelet in the genderfluid flag colours that has your name or initial on it because it's all about the simple things tbh

in the heat of your electric touch

⎇zane maloney x gn!reader - it's his first formula e weekend (oneshot) ⎇author's note: thank u fox for sending my own idea to me so i had an excuse to write it. this is legitimately so self-indulgent lol. (kofi for first formula e fic) ⎇content warnings: reader suffers with migraines and deals with one in this fic ⎇word count: 1.5k

The air seemed to buzz with excitement and anticipation. Cameras shot every angle of the paddock as media personnel and drivers and staff zipped back and forth between garages and the track and other areas that littered the small paddock.

Y/n had been in both the F2 and F1 paddocks before, but they'd never really gotten used to the pure chaos and busyness of them. Formula E's paddock was no different. A few people smiled at them as they passed, but no one really paid them much mind.

After all, why pay attention to the complete and utter rookie's partner, when you could pay attention to the complete and utter rookie?

Speaking of Zane, where was he? Y/n looks around, trying to spot familiar tattoos and a familiar blue & yellow polo. No such luck. Y/n sighs before unlocking their phone again. As much as they hated it, it made sense why Zane wasn't there - he was busy prepping for free practice one. Y/n supposes they'll see him later.

"What's with the frown, my love?" A familiar accent fills Y/n's ears as tattooed arms snake around their waist. They smile and turn their head slightly, catching sight of Zane's face.

"Just missing you, that's all." Y/n says, locking their phone and leaning back into his embrace. The familiar feeling of a race suit zipper digging into their back softens their anxieties. "You ready for FP1?"

"As ready as I'll ever be. You sure you don't wanna stay in the garage with my parents?" Zane asks, pressing soft kisses over Y/n's neck and cheek. They hum at the feeling, a soft smile filling their face before a sigh slips from their lips.

"It'd be an awkward first meeting, that's for sure." Y/n chuckles before pulling away from Zane's grip and spinning to face him. They lean forward and kiss him softly, only pulling away when someone coughs behind them.

A blue and yellow clad member of staff smiles apologetically at the pair and Y/n sighs, understanding that this is the moment where they'll have to say goodbye for over an hour. With one last soft kiss, Y/n allows Zane to leave. As he walks away, they call his name one last time, smiling when he turns back to face them with wide, hopeful eyes.

"Good luck, you got this!"

Y/n's eyes roam over the screen, watching the small section bars fill up to show Zane's progress through each one. Eventually, after finishing a complete lap without skittering off on that one dodgy corner every seemed to be struggling with, Zane places 20th. Not the quickest, but also not the slowest.

After a few extra minutes, the free practice session comes to an end and Y/n flicks the screen off, relishing the respite from the blue light. With a sigh, they fall back against the couch in Zane's driver's room, taking slow measured breaths.

The silence and stillness of the room allows Y/n to soak it in all. Zane hadn't made it to Formula 1, like he'd always wanted. But he'd made it Formula E, and he seemed so happy and at peace here. The team treated him like the future champion Y/n know he is and really, could they ask for anything more than that?

With another heaving sigh, Y/n sits up, eagerly counting down the minutes it would take for Zane to finish his debrief meeting and come and save them from boredom.

If Y/n thought day one of the weekend was chaotic, it had nothing on day two. Thousands of fans had poured into the stands to watch the twenty-two electric cars race around the streets of Sao Paulo. It made Y/n shiver with anticipation.

"You sure you wanna stay in my driver's room?" Zane asks, a mirror from the day before. His blue and yellow race suit sits snug on his frame and Y/n leans forward, tugging him into a hug. They sigh softly.

"I'll be okay. Be better for my head, anyways. Good luck, baby, you got this." Y/n says. Zane was due to be stolen away for qualifying any minute now. Free practice two had gone well - Zane finishing P20 once more - but qualifying was a whole different beast.

"Thank you, my love. I'll try my best for you." Zane says, gently pushing Y/n's hair back from their face. Y/n smiles and pecks his lips once before sighing when they spot familiar staff members over his shoulder.

"You could crash out of every race and I'd still happily call you mine, baby. Now go on, before we get properly interrupted again." Y/n says, smiling. Zane kisses them once more before walking off, turning back with a smile when Y/n yells good luck at him again.

With a weary sigh, Y/n heads over to Zane's driver's room, ready for some peace and quiet.

P19. Zane had qualified P19. Y/n is happy about that, despite the pained expression on their face . It's not last, and isn't that all that matters? Zane gives them a quick kiss on the cheek as he checks in on them before rushing off to head to his debrief. Not a lot of time stood between the end of qualifying and the beginning of the race and Y/n knew it'd be pretty minimal amounts of contact with Zane until after the race.

Y/n's head throbs slightly and they wince, laying back against the soft couch. With a shaky hand, they lift their phone up and quickly shoot Zane a message, letting him know that they're taking a nap and that he should wake them before the race.

No response comes after five minutes, so Y/n locks their phone again before sighing and closing their eyes. Just a small nap to hopefully get their migraine to disappear.

Hopefully.

Y/n feels blessed right now. The nap had shifted the migraine away and now they could watch Zane's first ever race in Formula E without constantly having to squint against the bright lights of the screen.

After the delay from Frijns' car not starting, the race was off and Y/n found themself constantly sipping from their drink, anxious and nervous about what was happening not only to Zane, but to all the other racers out on the track.

Y/n's migraine threatened to peek back into existence after watching Wehrlein's crash, but still Zane continued on, creeping closer and closer to the points with each lap around the Sambadrome. When, at last, he crossed the finish line in P12, Y/n couldn't help but tear up, hands clasped in front of their face.

Without thinking about their previous migraine or any awkwardness from encountering someone who didn't know about them, Y/n darts out of Zane's driver's room, eagerly scrambling to get to the pitlane, ready to greet their boyfriend.

As the cars pull up, Y/n spots the blue and yellow Lola Yamaha ABT - the only one to finish the race - and darts over, joining Zane's team and parents with a soft smile. No one seems to mind their presence, so Y/n waits for Zane to notice them as he walks over.

Zane smiles and thanks his team first before getting hugs from his family members. He's about to walk away when Y/n calls out his name, causing him to spin on the spot. He rushes over instantly, wrapping them in a tight hug.

"Y/n, my love! Did you watch the whole thing? How's your head? Are you feeling any better?" Zane fretfully asks, his voice muffled through his helmet. Y/n laughs and nods, cradling his helmet with both hands.

"I feel a lot better and yes, I did watch the race. I'm so proud of you, baby. So fucking proud." Y/n says, tears pricking the corners of their eyes. They remain faintly aware of the eyes on the pair of them but Y/n continues to smile softly at Zane for as long as he lets them.

At last he has to leave, his eyes relaying his frown as he slowly shuffles away to do his post-race cooldown and his debrief. Y/n smiles after him before turning to face his parents, a light blush on their face as they meet his parents' interested stares.

"It's nice to meet you two..."

Y/n sighs sleepily, pressing closer to Zane's side. Zane huffs out a soft puff of breath, tightening his grip around Y/n's waist.

"'M so proud of you, you know that, right?" Y/n sleepily murmurs. Zane kisses their temple, fingers deftly squeezing their side to show a small part of his love.

"I know. You're my biggest fan, aren't you?" Zane says. His voice is gruff with sleepiness and Y/n smiles softly to themself. Perhaps they should shut up and let him sleep, but just a little extra conversation wouldn't hurt, right?

"The biggest." Y/n responds. Zane chuckles softly before tucking Y/n even closer into his side. Y/n hums happily, eyes slipping closed as warmth washes over their figure.

"You're the best I could ever ask for, my love."

F1 driver Zane Maloney (DESERVES) x teammate male reader getting a little freaky in the paddock 🫣

-🦊

he so fucking deserves an f1 seat

f1!zane maloney x male!f1 driver!teammate!reader (paddock smut headcanons)

sauber took a risk hiring two rookies for their 2025 season, but you and zane were an amazing duo

dragging your cars into point scoring positions, having a very good connection with the team, and great camaraderie between you two as well

little did sauber know, you and zane were much more than friends or teammates

you'd been dating since zane's second year in formula 2 (your first)

you two were somehow just as horny back then too

more than a few formula 2 drivers had walked in on you and zane making out, your hands down each other's pants

poor miyata got an eyeful basically every weekend during the 2024 season

when you make it up to f1, you and zane are automatically thinking the same thing - driver's room shenanigans

you didn't even make it through pre-season testing before the two of you were at it

during the lunch break, before you would get in the car for the pm session, zane all but pounced on you

his hand was down your pants instantly, your hand soon slipping down his in retaliation

you two made each other cum in your pants, sharing smug grins

and then you realised you had to rush to consume food and clean up otherwise you were in a position of having to go out with dirty pants and an empty stomach

each and every day you're in the paddock, zane will seek you out and give you a blow job before letting you give him on in return

because of how insatiable he is, you've gotten used to carrying lube around with you

you had a lot of difficulty explaining the four bottles in your driver's room when your fucking team principal found them though

you got away with it but zane has never let you live it down

which prompts you to remind him that he like.. eight bottles of lube in his room, so he's not any better

due to the unstable nature of sauber and their car, each time either of you get points, you two end up fingering each other until you're both panting messes

bad race weekends usually end with you two just sleepily grinding against each other, wanting to make love but too tired & distraught to do anything proper

zane once blew you behind the sauber hospitality and it was very dizzying knowing you could get caught any minute

the looks you got from the other f2 rookies when they saw zane with tousled up hair and you with a smug grin on your face was so fucking funny

you and zane had burst into laughter after seeing their looks and it was so random that you two became a meme

(if you have a home race) zane will ride you so hard at your home race, hidden away in your driver's room

his philosophy is: why do i need to be able to drive my car when i can ride the hometown hero until he's calling my name instead?

you two are so fucking horny, it's insane

Zane meets reader who has the same soulmate tattoo as him

-🦊

me 🤝 zane 🤝 being tatted baddies (he has a full sleeve, i have... one squiggle lol)

zane maloney x gn!reader (soulmate tattoo au)

zane spotted his soulmate tattoo rather quickly after it appeared

the small lightning bolt was on his left wrist

not that anyone could tell that it was his soulmate mark anymore

his entire left arm was covered in tattoos now, all because the small, simple soulmate mark had enchanted him so much he'd wanted similar things lining the rest of his skin

you had an easy time as well

after all, soulmate tattoos appear in the same place for soulmates

the small bolt of lightning made you smile

you'd become a fan of thunder & lightning and storms after that

it was thundering as you wandered around the town you'd found yourself in during your random adventures/travels

most people were ducking for cover or peeking out from under it and out of doorways, biting their lips in anticipation and concern as they awaited the torrent of rain that was sure to follow

you, however, continued to stroll forward

and you weren't the only one

zane wasn't going to let a little bit of rain disturb his free time

the next formula e race was coming up soon and zane wanted to enjoy the calm before the storm

well... not the physical storm

zane found he rather enjoyed that one

he hadn't even registered the other person freely walking around in the rain until he bumped into them

you were looking at the shops around you, too distracted, and ended up bumping into someone

both of you hiss at the same time, clutching your left wrists as shoots of pain sizzle along your skin

you look up, meeting his widened eyes, and your own widen in shock

he gently reached out for your wrist and you let him take it, bringing it alongside his to show the matching lightning bolt tattoos

you met his pretty eyes and smiled softly

"hi, i'm y/n."

Power Bottom Zane Maloney X service Top male reader

-🦊

i gotchu !!

power bottom!zane maloney x taller!service top!male!reader

cw: this is lowkey very filthy

has complete and utter control over you in the bedroom

you do exactly as he says because his punishments are way too lethal otherwise

loves riding you because he gets to a) control the pace, b) stare down at you with a cocky smirk on his face and c) drive you totally insane

claws at your chest as he does so, loving the way it makes you whine and arch your back

he also loves to see you try and hold your hips down, knowing he doesn't like it when you fuck up into him

loves choking you whilst riding you as well

if he ever decides to lay back and let you fuck him, you will have to follow his every command and, even though it happens every time, he will sneer and make fun of you when you cum before him

he takes ages to cum and can cum multiple times in a row without major reductions of cum amount between each round, meaning you will probably be milked dry by the time he's satiated

rarely makes noises in bed because he'd rather hear yours

when he does make noises, however, he makes sure to lean in close and make them right in your ear because it winds you up

loves cockwarming you because he uses it as a another way to control you and let him do what he wants, plus he likes to make sure you don't squirm too much (another test of your control)

will force you to cockwarm him with your mouth whilst he does meetings because he thinks the sight of you on your knees for him is fucking brilliant, especially given your height difference

one noise from you, no matter how quiet it is, however, and he will fuck your ability to talk away the second he gets off his call

has a fascination with cumming on you, especially your face and your cock

he thinks the former is hot and the latter is humiliating for you

will take pictures of you struggling and squirming underneath him

loves to tie your arms up and watch the way your biceps bulge as you try and break free to touch him

will grab your tie or the collar of your shirt and tug you down to be level with him because he loves the way it flusters you and makes you squirm

loves to cum in your pants before you go out so you end up all sticky with his release

he likes the idea of it because he knows it'll constantly reminds you of him, plus he finds the humiliation of it all so hot

unless you are legitimately telling him to stop (clearly upset or having a bad day, using your safe word of the traffic light system, etc.) he will make you fuck him whenever he wants it

into free use as a concept but rarely does it because he wants to get consent from you in the moment (he's not the best with your emotions sometimes and would hate to upset you)

rarely ever gives up control to you but when he does, he notices that you don't treat him meanly

instead, you just your time lovin' on him and it makes zane's brain all fuzzy and foggy :(

Can we get some head cannons (hurt/comfort??) with ftm Zane 🙏

i can try my best :D

trans!zane maloney x gn!reader (hurt/comfort headcanons)

cw: suggestive ending

zane gets major dysphoria about his height

its like no matter where he goes, he's the shortest man there, and he can't help but blame himself for not being a good enough man as if his height is what makes him a man or a woman

it's hard for him to get out of these dysphoric episodes because he knows his height doesn't mean anything and he knows he's made it as far as he did whilst being the height that he is, but he can't help it

you will have to either leave him to get over it himself (don't you dare, you monster) or spend a couple of hours helping him fight the dysphoria

loves a big, oversized hoodie to avoid having to acknowledge the way his upper body looks, especially pre-surgery

gets shy when you randomly praise him in the middle of convos or just when you pass him

he knows you do it to encourage him to get more confident in his appearance, and even though sometimes it doesn't work, he does always smile at it

you two end up having lazy yet depressing arguments all the time

you call zane a bunch of overly cutesy yet masculine nicknames and he tries so hard to fight back against you, even going so far as to misgender himself over and over

he always loses because you say something that makes him flush and giggle and give in to your love and affection

loves when you brag about him because you do it in a way that is subtly gender euphoria-inducing and that makes him happy

is both scared & excited about getting gender-affirming surgeries and will often express both these emotions to you in a very rapidly switching manner

very clingy after he gets surgery and will cry if you leave him alone which scares you because he rarely cried before his surgery

suffers with internalised misogyny and transphobia that you'll have to combat and slowly help him unlearn

sometimes, when showering with you, he gets really dysphoric and asks you why you love him

the best way to respond to this is not with words but with actions

take him out of the shower and to your bed before lavishing all the attention you can upon his body

touch up his chest, map out his abs with your tongue, eat him out until he's shaking and crying and make him cum over and over until all he can say is "i love you" and "y/n" on repeat

he gets very clingy after sex and will try and stay awake to talk to you but he finds it too difficult and often gives in within twenty minutes

will fall asleep smushed into your side, happy and content with the knowledge that you love him no matter what

Best friend reader who has a crush on Zane but doesn’t know that Zane has a crush on them too

-🦊

love thissss!

zane maloney x bff!gn!reader

zane has had a crush on you for a year or so but he's never really considered it a crush

the big tipping point was when you cheered so loudly for him after his first formula e race that his ears rang and the smile he had never shifted once

it's not painfully obvious that zane likes you, but many of the drivers think you two are together

when, after a night of celebrations, zane confesses to the group that he likes you, everyone is lowkey confused

"we know? you're dating?"

this baffles zane and he quickly tells them all the truth

sam is quick to figure out that you like zane too and he tells zane one day, but zane absolutely refuses to believe that

there's absolutely NO WAY you like him

nuh uh

nada

no shot in hell

zane tries not to focus on his feelings for you for a while, instead deciding to focus on his racing career

with valentine's day coming up, however, he finds himself thinking of you again

the first of the jeddah races falls on valentine's day and zane mentally curses himself because he forgot he'd invited you as his guest for the jeddah weekend

a couple of the older drivers tell him to confess but he can't do it

until you show up to the paddock on thursday, ready to watch the rookies free practice and free practice 1

you look so bright and happy and you have clearly already been given a gift if the small, heart-adorned bag in your hands is anything to go by

zane feels SO DEJECTED

and then, in a shock turn of events, you shyly creep up to him and hold the bag out to him

"i really like you and i want you to be my boyfriend."

zane is stunned into silence

of course, you assume this means he's rejected you and you go to walk away when zane regains his voice

"i love you- i mean! i'd love that. i'd like to be your boyfriend."

you both end up so shy and blushy but you're both happy that finally something has come of your feelings for each other

Zane with teammate reader, he has a massive crush on his teammate and it’s obvious to everyone except the reader, Zane confesses after they both get a double podium

-🦊

am very obsessed with this idea hehe

zane maloney x formula e teammate!gn!reader

it was a very well known secret that zane had a massive crush on you - ask any of the other drivers and they'd all say you

but you didn't know that or think that

you didn't see how someone as wonderful and charming as zane could have feelings for you, of all people

you'd heard the rumours about zane crushing on a fellow driver and assumed it was taylor or dan, not even considering yourself an option, as much as it hurt to say that out loud

you were really focused on proving yourself to the team, showing that you deserved your seat and that they didn't make a mistake by hiring you out from under envision

you and zane were fierce rivals, fiercer friends and the fiercest teammates on the season 11 grid

the only thing that you two really kept from each other were your feelings

things were picking up for you and by mid season, you and zane were steadily creeping closer and closer to getting your first podiums each

when it happens, you aren't expecting it to be both of you on the podium

you'd finished second and zane had finished third and you were elated

the first thing you did when you got out of the car was run over to him and tackle him in a hug, cheering and hollering as loud as you could

the way zane looked at you, as you pressed your helmets together, made your heart skip a beat and you pulled away, your cheeks far too warm considering all the cameras around

when you were in your driver's room after the podium, a small luxury of ten minutes being afforded to you between that and your team debrief, you heard a small knock at the door

you called for whoever it was to enter and were greeted by none other than your lovely teammate, zane

you eagerly smiled at him and patted the seat next to you

zane sat gently and it was quiet, but not at all awkward, until you both spoke at the same time

"you did amazing out there, zane"

"i think im in love with you"

it was awkwardly silent for a few minutes until you sat bolt upright, eyes wide

"YOU WHAT?"

zane flushes and stumbles his way through a confession of his feelings, promising you that its okay if you don't return them and he'll try not to plague you with them

you stutter and stumble over your response before giving up and clambering into his lap, kissing him

he tenses up before kissing back, his hands slipping under the hem of your fireproofs

this is how your team members find you ten minutes later

Zane Maloney who is sighted finding reader who is not sighted at a formula E race

-🦊

princess!! i love you! thank you for giving me both zane & red sight verse ideas!

for more information about the world within red sight 'verse, please read this post

red sighted!zane maloney x gn!non sighted!reader

just another formula e weekend is all zane really thinks when he arrives at the paddock on thursday

he goes through media and track prep like normal

he absentmindedly twirls the few physical inches of his soulmate string around his finger throughout the day but thinks nothing of it

its comforting but he's not absolutely obsessed with finding his soulmate like some people back in formula 2 were

free practice 1 starts and all is well

until about 20 minutes in

zane's string finger sharply tugs, his wheel spinning under his grip and sending him flying

he manages to stop himself from colliding with the wall, but just barely

he can hardly believe it

you're here. his soulmate. you. finally. after years of nothing, he finally feels the tug.

he can vaguely hear his team asking if he's okay and he shoots them a quick response before moving his car back onto the track again

free practice continues on as normal but when he gets out, he's clearly distracted

he's sent to medical but the doctor doesn't see anything wrong with him

the doctor tells the team its shock and that he'll be fine, he's just a tad shaken up

zane, however, knows the truth

when the drivers ask him what happened later on, he confesses everything

taylor is immediately on board for helping zane hunt down his soulmate bcuz he knows the joy of finding his and he wants to spread that joy

dan ends up being roped in

after one whole night of looking around and barely feeling the tug, zane gives up

he's never gonna meet you

it's as he sipping his drink sadly in the corner of the bar that the rest of the formula e drivers had camped in whilst him and taylor and dan had been out searching that he realises something

"oh shit"

everyone turns to him confused

"my soulmate is either string or non sighted"

everyone comforts him, promising he'll find his soulmate soon, but he can't help but feel a little bit dejected

the next day, zane arrives to the track early, and feels the tugging again

he follows it and it leads him to an all but empty grandstand

except for you

you're sat there, alone, and zane can see the string laced around your pinkie, red fizzing through the air all the way towards him

its you

and you're stunning

he knows he shouldn't - what if you're a crazy stalker fan - but he has to. you're his soulmate. and surely the universe isn't that cruel?

he steps forward, catching your attention and in that moment he's glad he decided to take the leap of faith and follow the tug

you say hi, and that you're a big fan and zane, well...

"hi, um... i think we might be soulmates."

Prince Zane x Prince reader where they are an arranged marriage, at first they hated it but they actually have a lot in common and fall in love

-🦊

prince!zane maloney x male!prince!reader (arranged marriage au)

as the heirs to your thrones, you and zane both knew you'd have to marry well and produce or adopt heirs

you didn't want to, but you knew it was the way of your worlds

zane and you both refused until it was agreed that you two could take other lovers whilst in the marriage

even after this agreement, you still refuse to meet him until the day of your wedding

it was a big affair - your two kingdoms were uniting - but you and zane awaited the end of it all

you were stunned when you first met him, finding him striking

his sharp jawline, crisp tattoos & gummy smile warmed your heart and you figured that maybe... it wouldn't hurt to get to know him better

little did you know, zane felt the exact same

the way your hair framed your face, your sweet melodic laughter, the tightness of your suit, all of it made zane dizzy

you had agreed to sleep in separate rooms on your wedding night, much to your family's chagrins, but you slipped into his room when no one was looking

maybe without all the eyes on you, the two of you could make an attempt at being friendly

zane was shocked at first but soon glared at you, telling you to get out, even if he didn't actually want you to

he was trying his best to ignore the thumping of his heart as you stared at him, cloaked in the softest of sleep clothes with your soft hair all tousled

with a sigh, he acquiesced, gesturing to the chair across from him

you sat down before drumming your fingers against the table, the words you wanted to say dying on your tongue

zane normally found the noise annoying, but with you, that familiar rage didn't bubble up in his chest

you finally blurted out that you wanted to get to know him better because it would make things easier for you both

zane sighed before agreeing and you two fell into easy chatter

it was actually rather fun, the two of you finding you had plenty in common in the most unexpected of ways

when you made him laugh, you felt victorious - not only was his laughter bright & bubbly, but you felt like you'd broken through one of his layers

a yawn broke forth from your mouth eventually, prompting zane to usher you into his bed

"we can share for one night, it won't hurt"

when you woke up, it was to plenty of zane's personal staff staring at the pair of you with wide eyes

to be fair, you had accidentally started cuddling him in the night

and you weren't supposed to be in his room either

you gently slipped away, thanking the guard who offered to escort you back to your room but ultimately rejecting his offer

the day went by gently, you and zane exchanging soft & shy smiles as the two of you caught each other's gazes

that night, you were curled up on the windowsill, reading a book as the rain fell hard and fast outside, when a knock sounded out

you gently called for the person to enter, a smile lighting up your face when zane shyly walked in

without hesitation, you jumped down from your seat and stopped in front of him, a large smile on your face

"fancy seeing you here"

zane snorted with laughter at that before he blushed softly, gently picking up your hand

he brought it up to his mouth, kissing the back of your hand softly

you blushed sweetly before watching as zane dropped to one knee

he gave a big apology for how your relationship had been so far and he asked to make things up to you, husband to husband

it was so sweet and you fell to your knees with him, cupping his face and kissing him square on the mouth

you hadn't kissed on your wedding day, you refused to, and that made this kiss much sweeter

zane's hands gripped your waist, softly squeezing as you kissed him with all the passion you had

when you parted for air, you smiled at him softly

"i think i might just be able to fall in love with you, zane."

zane maloney + first (dates, kisses, etc) headcanons!

zane maloney x gn!reader (firsts headcanons)

cw: suggestive ending

your first meeting happened during the 2024 f2 season

you met him during silverstone after he'd got on the podium for both races

he was celebrating with a bunch of other drivers and you were just enraptured by this handsome man

you exchanged numbers and spent a good couple of months just texting back and forth before finally, zane asked you out

your first date was very sweet and charming

zane knew you weren't a fan of all the super flashy stuff so he took you out for a picnic that contained all your favourite foods & drinks

it was the best first date you'd ever experienced and he made you feel loved and listened to

he made sure to drop you home after the date had finished and he kissed your cheek before wishing you a good night and saying he hoped to see you again soon

you also held hands for the first time on that date, zane gently picking your hand up at one point and playing with your fingers before you linked them together

he even did the hand hold over the console thing when he drove you home that day

very swoon-worthy, but you won't admit it to him, even after years of being together

your first kiss was somewhat unplanned

it was your fourth date, things were going well, and for this date, you were sleeping over at zane's & having a movie night

you were really excited to spend more time with him

it's during the third movie of the night - a silly romcom you'd only suggested as a joke - that it happens

the couple kiss, zane cracks a joke about wondering when you two will do it and you just... lean over and kiss him

when you pull back, his eyes are wide and you worry you've fucked up until he pulls you in for another kiss

when you part again, zane cracks another joke about finally getting the first kiss over with which causes you to hit him and playfully threaten to leave

your first time making out was also pretty random

you'd been passing the time in an abandoned corner of the f2 paddock when, next thing you knew, the two of you were making out, messy and uncoordinated

when you part, you both have wide eyes before zane laughs and jokingly says you two should do that again sometime

you decide to do it again right then

your first time having sex happened in a similar circumstance to your first kiss, weirdly enough

you were at his house, a movie was playing, but really, you didn't intend for it to go anywhere

the two of you had decided to have an impromptu date that night to celebrate zane's seat in formula e being announced

you didn't know the movie you were watching was gonna drift into sexual territory but it did

and it got to you

you weren't sure why but before long, you were making out with zane, the two of you working up a sweat

you didn't intend for it to go further but then you felt how hard zane was and you knew you were ready

shyly, you asked him if he wanted to carry on and he said yes

he carried you up to his room and the two of you had sex for the first time

it was slow and loving and you both made the other feel lucky and treasured

when you cuddled up in bed afterwards, clean and sleepy, zane said i love you

that was the first time either of you had said it and so, with a quiet giggle, you said it back

you two fell asleep with smiles on your faces and woke up feeling content and peaceful and oh so happy
