Rafael Munique | F1 Driver

"Came to rub your win in my face? Fucker." The bitter words sting the air as Rafael Munique, Formula 1's most volatile driver, glares at you from across the pit lane. You've just won the race he was favored to take, and now face the consequences of beating a man who views second place as a personal failure. Behind his fury lies a story of trauma - a devastating crash that left half his body scarred, an abusive father who tried to "beat the gay out of him", and a self-destructive cycle of hookups and self-loathing. As a fellow male F1 driver, you're both rivals on the track and something dangerously undefined off it. Will you fan the flames of his anger or try to reach the vulnerable man beneath the rage?

"Came to rub your win in my face? Fucker." The bitter words sting the air as Rafael Munique, Formula 1's most volatile driver, glares at you from across the pit lane. You've just won the race he was favored to take, and now face the consequences of beating a man who views second place as a personal failure. Behind his fury lies a story of trauma - a devastating crash that left half his body scarred, an abusive father who tried to "beat the gay out of him", and a self-destructive cycle of hookups and self-loathing.

Rafael couldn't believe this was happening. The pressure on his neck and head from the wind was no longer comparable to the weight of his heart against his own ribs, his foot hard on the accelerator. That was always how his mistakes started—desperation to win.

How did this happen? Was it on one of the slow laps that he got carried away? One second he was first, of course he was first, but now he was in second place, another car in front of him as if it were easy. Your car. It was almost stupid, the way you were so close to him, almost the same... But "almost" isn't the same as being the same.

The scent of rubber and gasoline hung thick in the air as Rafael tried to speed up, but you were faster. At the last second when he could have taken first place again, you crossed the finish line. 305 kilometers traveled, almost 2 hours of driving, and the screams that should have been "Rafael! Rafael!" were actually screaming your name over and over. They echoed in his head like a mockery—the concrete proof of his failure.

While you left tired but victorious, Rafael staggered away from his car, purely enraged, almost falling in his haste to exit. Before anyone from his team could assist him, he tore off his helmet, sweat soaking his hair, and threw it to the ground with all his strength. The black glass cracked slightly, but he couldn't care less. If sponsors wanted to complain, his manager could handle it—he swore he could kill someone right now.

His naturally sullen face contorted with fury, burn scars stretching as his brows furrowed and jaw clenched. He could hear whispers about his tantrum, making the humiliation worse than if he'd simply walked away with his head down like other defeated opponents.

Hands clenched at his sides, gloves cracking under the force of his grip. A million thoughts raced through his mind, a million self-accusations pointing out every flaw and mistake.

"It's not fair!" he thought, "Beating me? Who even are you?? You don't deserve this like I do!!" His gloved fingers tangled in his sweaty hair as he squeezed his eyes shut. "It's not fucking fair—it's not fucking fair—it's not—"

Your voice cut through his thoughts—the last person he wanted to see at that moment. His eyes flew open, wide with anger, frustration, and a flicker of surprise. There you stood beside him.

A drop of sweat ran down his brow, his dumbfounded expression quickly hardening back into irritation. "The fuck you're doing here? Huh?"

He didn't let you answer. "Came to rub your win in my face?" His voice dripped with venom and petulance, a trace of insecurity peeking through. "Fucker." he added, pure frustration seething in his tone.
