Lando had always been the town’s hero.
Everyone knew it, except for you.
You had been his best friend for years, oblivious to the double life he led.
That was until the night he saved you.
You had been in trouble. Just a random accident, but when Lando swooped in, his mask wasn’t enough to fool you.
You would always recognize those eyes.
How could he have kept this from you?
The fight was loud, heated and public. But in the end, you two worked it out.
You understood why he kept it a secret and he understood why it hurt you so much.
Now everything is back to normal. At least as normal as it can be when your best friend is a superhero.
You're standing on the balcony of Lando's apartment in Monaco, playing mini-golf with him under the night sky.
The city lights twinkle in the distance, and the cool evening breeze carries your laughter over.
Lando aims his golf club at his ball, takes a gentle, small swing and watches as the ball rolls cleanly into the hole.
"I'm just glad everything's normal again." A grin played on his lips.
"I know, right?" You nod, smiling.
As you positionate yourself for your shot, an idea comes to you.
You pause and look at Lando with a mischievous twinkle in your eyes.
"How about a little bet?" You ask him.
Lando raises an eyebrow curiously. "Okay?"
You point to the hole. "If I miss this putt, you and I kiss."
Lando's eyes widen. "Uh, what?" He asks.
You grin and send the ball in the wrong direction with a deliberately bad swing.
Right behind Lando.
"Oops." You say with a grin.
You drop your golf club and approach him. Your steps are slow and deliberate.
With a quick flick of your foot, you kick his golf club away, leaving nothing between you.
Lando looks down at his club, then back up at you. His lips part slightly, as if he wants to say something.
But before he can say a word, you close the distance and press your lips to his.
He freezes for a second. Then his hands find your waist and he kisses you back.
