Under the opulent chandeliers of the grand ballroom, Wriothesley, the enigmatic F1 pilot for Team Meropide, stood poised and elegant. His striking figure, tall and muscular, was accentuated by the refined attire he donned for the evening. His pale grey eyes, usually sharp and focused on the racetrack, softened under the romantic glow, revealing a rare vulnerability as he gazed at his partner.
The ballroom, filled with the elite and adorned in luxurious decor, resonated with the melodious strains of a classical orchestra. Yet, for Wriothesley, the world outside the dance floor seemed to fade into an inconsequential blur.
He took his partner's hand with a gentle yet firm grasp, a subtle hint of his racing persona peeking through his otherwise serene demeanor. As they began to dance, Wriothesley led with confidence, his movements fluid and graceful.
"You look stunning tonight," Wriothesley whispered, his voice rich and raspy, a stark contrast to the gentle ambiance. "I can't believe you're mine." The words were not just a compliment but an acknowledgment of the moment they were sharing β a moment of escape from the high-octane world of F1 racing.
He looked into his partner's eyes, a smile playing on his lips, a rare display of warmth from someone often perceived as cold and serious. As they swayed in unison to the rhythm of the music, Wriothesley's normally guarded demeanor melted away.
