Jenson wasn't sure if y/n was brought in to purposely get under Danica's skin the way Danica gets under his skin. But it's safe to say the public has deemed Jenson and y/n the sex appeal of watching Sky Sports.
Y/n is actually very knowledgable on the sport and with the exception of Danica, gets along very well with the team.
"Sorry, I think I'm going to have to disagree with you, Danica." Y/n states as what has become now a famous line of the weekend and it's still only Friday.
Jenson has already begun to find himself smiling every time y/n speaks while not being able hide his grimace whenever Danica speaks.
They cut the segment and before the group can divide, Danica seems to have hit a boiling point with y/n.
"I'm surprised you're getting away with wearing the outfits you do. They're quite skimpy. What are you trying to attract some of the drivers?" Danica comments seeming to try and make it a joke but y/n frowns not hiding her offended reaction while Jenson goes to speak in the young woman's defence. But y/n beats him to it.
"What about my outfit is skimpy exactly?-Actually, don't answer that. Consider this strike 1, 2 more strikes and I'll take you straight to HR, your hand in mine and I'll have you repeat every out of line comment you've opened your mouth to make." Y/n states then scoffing. "And for the record, if I was trying to attract the drivers. You'd know about it."
That's true. If y/n set her eyes on a driver, Jenson is pretty sure she could have her pick. Maybe of even a couple of the drivers who are in a relationship.
Really her outfit isn't skimpy, she's wearing almost an outfit that's mourning-worthy. Black heels, tight and sort of a short skirt with a slightly oversized blazer with a white blouse under the blazer. Truth be told, the appeal of her is more than she's a gorgeous woman who dresses well, is young and looks good on tv. She's styled well, she's confident, and not afraid to share her opinions which do tend to disagree with Danica but they're well founded opinions.
Y/n is minimal and classy with an undertone of sexiness that might be easy to be distract by.
Today she's wearing full black tights but yesterday something that had every mans attention was stockings with ever so slightly visibly suspenders that were clipped on to keep her stockings up.
Carlos, Lando, Pierre and Logan were all caught in HD slow-mo staring and doing double takes of the young woman.
Danica seems to get the hint that her presence isn't wanted so she takes off and y/n scoffs rolling her eyes and shaking her head.
"Remind me to never cross you." Jenson comments making y/n turn and smile.
"I don't think you'd have the audacity to make a comment like that unprovoked." Y/n sighs before she smiles at him. "I don't think I've earned a spot in your bad books yet, have I?"
"No. No. I think you might be my favourite person to work with already." Jenson smiles watching her seem to get a little flustered at his words. "Wait, was that a crack in the confidence that I seen?"
"I-As if." Y/n scoffs in a quick recovery, shaking it off quickly.
"You hungry? We should grab some food before we're pulled into more recording." Jenson states making y/n smile and nod.
Sitting down together, y/n does gain some attention from other commentators from other broadcasters. But eventually the two are left on their own and y/n sighs deciding to speak of the elephant in the room.
"You know, you should try masking your expression when Danica speaks. Especially if you're going to look so happy whenever someone else is speaking." Y/n comments leaning back in her seat as she cross on leg over the other making her skirt slide up a little. Something he shouldn't notice but he does and he has to force his gaze away. This woman is nearly 20 years younger than him. He can't be the old perv who has wondering eyes.
And for some reason there's something in Jenson wishing she was wearing the stocking and suspender duo for the outfit today.
"I am happier whenever someone else is speaking." Jenson states honestly then shrugging. "I don't even know why they've still got her here when they've brought you in. You add much more to the conversation and you look good doing it."
Y/n doesn't say much back, just looking down with a small smirk before she shrugs a little.
"So humble." Jenson laughs while she finally looks up then clears her throat as her phone goes off.
"Oh...Fun. Apparently I'm being paired with Danica for more stuff-oh haha! You are too." Y/n grins watching the man look at her with a grin.
"I'll just stand and watch the two of you bicker."
"I'm not that bad."
"You've said the sentence sorry, I think I'm going to have to disagree with you, Danica at least 5 times since yesterday and we've not been on air that much." Jenson laughs while she grins at the man before placing her phone back down and picking up a chip from her plate.
"I'm not that bad...I just think it's important we all voice our opinion if it's not on the same understanding." Y/n smiles earning a look form Jenson while she just flashes her a teeth in a smile.

Y/n and Jenson eating meals together in the paddock and just sort of gluing themselves to one another was beginning to be a habit for the two and it was a habit others were beginning to notice.
"Wait, wait. Don't leave me." Y/n gasps when the cameras cut and Jenson seems to take off since she'd said something that disagreed with him only slightly. "Jenson..."
Now she's just doing it on purpose. Whining his name has an unnecessary effect.
"I'm sorry." Y/n pouts making him slow his fast pace away. He wasn't really mad but he did maybe just want to tear him. "You left me with Danica."
"Consider it payback." Jenson states as he turns finding her looking up at him as they stand face to face.
"I'm sorry." Y/n pouts again and it takes every fibre of Jenson's being to maintain the self control not to close the space between them.
He feels like a teenager with a crush. He's a grown man for fuck sake and this woman is making him melt.
"You're forgiven." Jenson declares making her perk up and damn her because the brightness in her eyes actually makes his heart skip a beat.
"Are we intruding?" A sly smiling Lando questions as he passes by making y/n flush stepping away.
Truth be told, y/n is more successfully hiding an unshaken childhood crush on Jenson. She's be fighting the urge to climb on the man any time he sits down.
No doubt he sees her as a child, probably a mentor and mentee situation. Not that that's what she's going for.
Lando has already disappeared since he really was passing by and making a comment which he thinks needed to be made to point out that everyone is beginning to notice the tension between them.
Suddenly it dawns on y/n and she decides it's time to stop being shy about it.
"So what are you doing tonight?" Y/n asks making Jenson literally do a double take looking very shocked. "Just...usually I do nothing but go back to my hotel room and do nothing."
"Are you...asking me on a date, y/n y/l/n?" Jenson smirks looking like the playboy that he's quite famous for in his only slightly younger years.
"Would you...say yes if it was a date?" Y/n mumbles feeling the drop in her confidence because she wasn't exactly expecting him to call her out so obviously, or loudly.
"Yes."
Oh thank fuck.
"Then yes."
-
Y/n likes to think that she's got quite a dark feminine energy, she's not the doe eyed golden retriever type of girl. She's the siren eyes black cat.
But on a date with Jenson he's described her as cute and funny and even made a comment about her adding light to the otherwise dim room. He's charming and certainly knows how to converse on a date.
"So I have to know, when did I become so irresistible that you had to ask me on a date?" Jenson asks, the teasing mischief behind his eyes making her flush. This man just brings out a side she wishes she could hide but it's no use with him.
"Just living the dream. Meeting you was the whole goal when I decided to pursue sports journalism." Y/n shrugs making Jenson smirk. "Don't get cocky. I could still team up against you with Danica."
"That's a lie." Jenson laughs shaking his head while y/n grin at him.
"Ok, maybe that is a lie. I don't think I could ever try to befriend her. The amount of fans who call me out online and say they would do what I do." Y/n shrugs then picking up her glass of pink gin and lemonade.
"I love it. I think you are the best commentator we've had added to the team in years." Jenson shrugs making her beam at him. "I'll be pushing for them to keep you. Even if they drop me."
"As if they'd choose to drop Jenson Button, F1 world champion 2009 from the team." Y/n jokes before sighing and smiling as she sits back in her seat. "I think I dreamt about having a date like this for years."
"Here I am, making dreams come true." Jenson hums earning a laugh. "I would return the gesture but you're not an F1 champion."
"Wow...That's a violation. My feelings are hurt now."
"Oh sounds like I've got some grovelling to do."
-
There was no hints throughout the weekend, Jenson and y/n silently agreed to sort of take things slowly. Which is exactly what they did. They took things slowly and after a couple months of dating and building the perfect dynamic, which was really built after the first date.
Y/n decided it was time for a soft launch ahead of COTA.
She chose a mirror selfie what hide his face but there was definitely enough on show that it wasn't exactly a hard to tell it was Jenson.
Her comments were a blaze with his name and even a couple drivers along with many within F1 sent her messages some asking flat out and some just question marks searching for answers.
But she didn't reply and only decided to let their entrance in the paddock speak for itself.
Jenson quite enjoys the fact he is openly able to somewhat lay his claim. Y/n is a woman who could have her pick of people, and while people can say he's a man who can have his pick too. His pick was y/n and there was a chance she might not have reciprocated it.
Y/n definitely isn't expecting the very public kiss with one hand up cupping her face but Jenson feels her smiling against his lips and her face is definitely heating up under his hand.
"Well if I didn't send a message, you just hard launched a confirmation." Y/n whispers breaking the kiss while Jenson grins down at her.
"Can't I kiss you when you look so good?"
"Oh so usually I don't look good?" Y/n teases earning a groan a little.
"Trust you to twist my words." Jenson laughs then pecking her lips again. "You look good everyday. That's why I've been kissing your everyday."
"Mmm...good recovery."
"I try." Jenson smirks making her laugh before she steals a kiss this time then spins, linking their hands and beginning to walk very confidently through the paddock. Though they come across Martin, Danica and Crofty, all of whom look surprised to say the least.
After a small conversation, of which none of them address the obvious till Danica does pipe up. Unable to keep a petty comment to herself.
"You weren't wrong, we really do know when you're trying to attract someone."
"Well...I'm doing a bit more than attract Jenson." Y/n shoots back smoothly while Jenson looks at her fairly proudly and smug. "But I'm glad you can pick up on it. I know sometimes you struggle with seeing the obvious when it's right in front of you."
Martin and Crofty both pull expressions that are a combination of shock and maybe mildly impressed.
"Anyway, we're going to grab lunch. See you guys later for the broadcast."
As Sweet As Vanilla - Jenson Button
Aesthetic series - Vanilla Girl
Summary: The first thing Jenson noticed about his girlfriend when he met her was the smell of vanilla and then he fell in love with her sweet personality that perfectly matched it.
Williams social media manager (mid 20s)!reader
Jenson playing a role in the Williams team means that sometimes they do pull him in for social media stuff and while there's a whole social media and marketing team. It's when the social media manager appears that he is more compliant.
His head raises as he smells the soft scent that is actually still lingering on his clothes from when they were together earlier.
"I was waiting for the boss." Jenson smiles as she looks at him raising her eyebrow lightly in question. Always so cool and collected as she comes into the situation where the rest of the social media team seem to be fussing. "They are stress about something."
"Right, give me 2 minutes." Y/n sighs with a nod pecking his lips gently before she heads over to the very clearly distressed couple social media assistants.
Whatever the issue is, y/n resolves it within the 2 minute window as promised and proves why even though she's young, there's good reason that she's in charge of the socials team.
"Alright, all sorted." Y/n puffs out then smiling as she looks at Jenson with a smile as he looks back at her with that iconic playboy smirk. She's tamed that part of him, but it still lives on in a ghost form only directed at her. "What's that look for?"
"Just you coming in here, taking charge and fixing everything like it's nothing." Jenson smiles with a small shrug as he rests his hands on her waist. "I think I should aspire to be like you."
"Wow, that's bold words." Y/n giggles before she jumps herself up and wraps her arms around his neck as he holds her with his arms wrapping around her tightly to hold her there while he sighs breathing in the soft vanilla perfume. "I am sort of tired."
"Can you make it the next couple hours?" Jenson asks making the young woman hum and hide her face in his neck.
She's strong and calm and just someone that a lot of people rely on. But Jenson has definitely come her pillar.

Jenson sighs getting to their hotel suite and finding that y/n beat him to it but isn't done working for the day as she sits at the table with a set up that makes him sigh.
"Hey, guess what I picked up for you." Jenson smiles placing a box of macaroons down on the table next to her making her smile and perk up from where she'd slouched and balled herself up in the seat while looking at her laptop.
"Oh my gosh...these are so cute-are they vanilla flavour?" Y/n gasps with a small laugh while he nods with a smile and sits down in another seat.
"We should get some room service ordered too, because I can bet good money that you couldn't tell me what you've eaten today or when you last ate." Jenson states making her redirect her gaze to the screen again to avoid the question. "That's what I thought."
Jenson places the room service menu down for her to peruse, which she does then mumbling that she'll get the chicken caesar salad.
"Just a salad?" Jenson hums making her point at the macaroons. "What about the steak?"
Y/n's guilty pleasure and not one she indulges in without his encouragement but when he does poke her into a meal that is more enjoyable than a salad, she isn't so stubborn that she fights him on it.
"Ok, steak does sound good." Y/n states earning a hum and smile from the older man. "Are you getting one too?"
"I think so." Jenson nods while looking at the menu for his own option.
Eventually they order and he does decide to get a steak too before they're just waiting and y/n talks to him through finishing up her work since social media teams are constantly working out of hours. Hell Jenson is surprised they haven't had some of the assistants at the door asking her for help, that's not uncommon.
"You know...the rumours around Kimi and Logan are going too far." Y/n mumbles making Jenson look at the young woman. "It's not fair to Logan for him to have to hear people talk about him the way they do. He is trying."
She might be social media manager, but they prefer to keep those things out of wider knowledge even if the whole team whispers about it.
"I didn't realise was turning into Red Bull." Y/n comments earning a look from Jenson.
"F1 is cut throat, you know that y/n. Anyway, I'm rooting for Logan. We all are." Jenson states earning a grumble from the young woman. "Have you tried speaking to James?"
"Have you?" Y/n questions which is a fair shot because James only speaks when he decides he wants to address someone. Not because he's rude or nasty, but he's a busy man and can't just set aside time for someone if it's about something he deems unimportant.
"Y/n..." Jenson hums making her shrug before there's a knock at the door. "That'll be the food."
"Well timed." Y/n laughs lightly while Jenson smiles back at her.
Y/n moves her stuff from the table and they set down the food to eat together.
-
There's something in the way that Y/n is absolutely makes Jenson visibly melt or soften that earns a lot of attention and praise towards the couple from the public.
The first thing that gives away y/n is nearby is that vanilla scent.
Jenson even whips his head around on live air when he catches a waft of the perfume and y/n smiles brightly seeing his attention on her.
"Come here." Jenson laughs making her rush to him in a hug.
"Ok, I actually have to go." Y/n whispers having a kiss stolen from the older man before he releases her from his hold.
"Aww...The two of you are such a pair. Everyone loves seeing Jenson and y/n." Simon states while Jenson smiles not even sorry for the public display of affection even if they're on air.
"And now you smell like vanilla." Naomi smiles making Jenson laugh and nod.
"Have to stay on brand." Jenson confirms while smelling what must've been freshly sprayed perfume that's transferred onto him now lingering around him.
He’s so old! — Jenson Button x Sargeant!reader
Fluff and crack slightly suggestive
Word count 946
I don’t have the brain power to tag everyone but I’m pretty sure a lot of you have my Notifications on
“You need to go Logan will be here any minute now” you said laughing pushing Jenson off of you.
“Just one more kiss” Jenson begs, looking like a sad puppy.
“No no more kisses you’ve had plenty of kisses” you said lightly scolding him.
Jenson pouted before leaning in and landing a kiss on your cheek with a loud ‘MWAH’.
“Jenson!” you protested, smacking him gently on the arm “Stop it Logan will be here any second!”
Jenson beamed. “So you’ve told me, darling. It’s my good looks that keep you coming back for more” he said his usual cocky self. He was right though, he was a handsome man so you let him get away with things.
“Cocky jerk.” you murmured before kissing his cheek.
“See! You can’t resist me can you?” he said, his hands now holding your hips, thumbs gently rubbing over the exposed skin from your crop top.
“I have self control” you responded though it was a lie. He knew exactly what effect he had on you.
Soon enough there was a knock on the door and Jenson groaned, resting his head on your shoulder.
“That’ll be my brother.” you said, scratching the back of his head. Jenson groaned again, burying his head in your neck, your stomach twisting in anticipation at the action, “I’m not getting up.”
“You have to go” you protested though you didn’t want him to.
You could hear your brother knocking on the door again. You sighed and pushed against him but he refused to get up, he was being as stubborn as a toddler. “Why?” he mumbled, nuzzling your neck.
“You really think he’ll be fine finding us like this?” you asked, your body shivering in protest as his lips brushed your skin.
You tried pushing him off again, you succeeded though not for long as he grabbed your wrists and pulled you onto the bed with him, his body landing over yours. “I think he can wait.”
You swallowed nervously, your heart beating faster as Jenson laid above you, pinning you to the bed. You could feel your heart racing and you bit your lip, looking up at him. You were about to speak, but at that very moment there was another knock on the door, followed by your brother’s voice.
“y/n? Are you in there?”
“Go away Logan!” you yelled back, Jenson’s body shaking with laughter.
Your brother’s voice was muffled by the door but you could still hear, “Are you in there with someone?”
“Yes!” you yelled, trying to push Jenson off you but he was being stubborn again, holding you close to his chest.
“Let’s not let him in, darling” he said in a low voice, his smirk making you weak at the knees.
You were about to protest when he kissed your neck and your mind instantly became empty. You wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss, your tongue running across his bottom lip, earning a quiet groan.
Of course your moment was instantly ruined as your brother came barging in without any warning. He froze in the doorway, his jaw dropping when he saw the two of you on the bed, you immediately went bright red.
“Oh my god!” Logan yelled, covering his eyes, his face red with shock.
“Logan it’s— I -uh — we” you tried to say something but you couldn’t form the words.
“Oh my god Y/n really Jenson my mentor he’s so old” Logan says.
“Shut up Logan” you protested, throwing a pillow at him.
You look over at Jenson expecting to see an equally as shocked look on his face, but he actually just looked amused. He looked from you to Logan with a smirk and your brother made a gagging sound. “So how long has this been going on?” Logan asked. You avoided eye contact, fiddling with the hem of your shirt.
Jenson wrapped an arm around your waist, holding you close. “A couple of months now” he said, looking incredibly smug.
“Wow you’re a cradle snatcher” Logan said. Jenson just shrugged, “Who can resist such a beautiful woman? Clearly not me”
You could physically feel his ego getting bigger with every word that left his mouth. He was just so cocky it was almost unbearable though you couldn’t help but love it.
Logan had a disgusted look on his face, “Ew you’re almost like old enough to be our dad”
Jenson laughed, “It's not my fault women love me”.
You rolled your eyes, hitting his arm. “You’re so full of yourself,” you said with a small smile.
“I can’t believe it, my sister and my Mentor,” Logan says in disbelief, shaking his head.
Jenson just grinned, he was so cocky it was unbelievable.
“Well I’m proud of myself for bagging such a beautiful woman” he said, leaning over to kiss your cheek.
Logan was physically gagging now.
“I’m leaving I can’t believe Oscar and Alex were right” Logan says leaving the room
Once the door was shut, you turned to Jenson, who was still smirking, “You’re insufferable, you know that right?” you said, shaking your head.
“You love it” Jenson grinned, pulling you close so you were now on his lap.
“Debatable” you said, leaning against his chest, Jenson wrapping his arms around your waist and kissing your shoulder.
“You were practically begging for me earlier, you can’t deny it” Jenson teased.
“That was just a moment of weakness” you protested, Jenson raised a brow, “You have plenty of those moments around me”.
You rolled your eyes, before looking up at him “Shut up and kiss me” you said, a smile playing at your lips.

"Ok, maybe that is a lie. I don't think I could ever try to befriend her. The amount of fans who call me out online and say they would do what I do." Y/n shrugs then picking up her glass of pink gin and lemonade.
"I love it. I think you are the best commentator we've had added to the team in years." Jenson shrugs making her beam at him. "I'll be pushing for them to keep you. Even if they drop me."
"As if they'd choose to drop Jenson Button, F1 world champion 2009 from the team." Y/n jokes before sighing and smiling as she sits back in her seat. "I think I dreamt about having a date like this for years."
"Here I am, making dreams come true." Jenson hums earning a laugh. "I would return the gesture but you're not an F1 champion."
"Wow...That's a violation. My feelings are hurt now."
"Oh sounds like I've got some grovelling to do."
-
There was no hints throughout the weekend, Jenson and y/n silently agreed to sort of take things slowly. Which is exactly what they did. They took things slowly and after a couple months of dating and building the perfect dynamic, which was really built after the first date.
Y/n decided it was time for a soft launch ahead of COTA.
She chose a mirror selfie what hide his face but there was definitely enough on show that it wasn't exactly a hard to tell it was Jenson.
Her comments were a blaze with his name and even a couple drivers along with many within F1 sent her messages some asking flat out and some just question marks searching for answers.
But she didn't reply and only decided to let their entrance in the paddock speak for itself.
Jenson quite enjoys the fact he is openly able to somewhat lay his claim. Y/n is a woman who could have her pick of people, and while people can say he's a man who can have his pick too. His pick was y/n and there was a chance she might not have reciprocated it.
Y/n definitely isn't expecting the very public kiss with one hand up cupping her face but Jenson feels her smiling against his lips and her face is definitely heating up under his hand.
"Well if I didn't send a message, you just hard launched a confirmation." Y/n whispers breaking the kiss while Jenson grins down at her.
"Can't I kiss you when you look so good?"
"Oh so usually I don't look good?" Y/n teases earning a groan a little.
"Trust you to twist my words." Jenson laughs then pecking her lips again. "You look good everyday. That's why I've been kissing your everyday."
"Mmm...good recovery."
"I try." Jenson smirks making her laugh before she steals a kiss this time then spins, linking their hands and beginning to walk very confidently through the paddock. Though they come across Martin, Danica and Crofty, all of whom look surprised to say the least.
After a small conversation, of which none of them address the obvious till Danica does pipe up. Unable to keep a petty comment to herself.
"You weren't wrong, we really do know when you're trying to attract someone."
"Well...I'm doing a bit more than attract Jenson." Y/n shoots back smoothly while Jenson looks at her fairly proudly and smug. "But I'm glad you can pick up on it. I know sometimes you struggle with seeing the obvious when it's right in front of you."
Martin and Crofty both pull expressions that are a combination of shock and maybe mildly impressed.
"Anyway, we're going to grab lunch. See you guys later for the broadcast."
