Charles

where the hell are you

12:31

sorry got stuck racing on the sim

12:52

just around the corner now

12:52

Charles

leo leclerc laying down in a car

Charles

he is not impressed. you were meant to pick him up 45 minutes ago, max.

12:53

i know

12:53

he looks perfectly content in your million-dollar car. relax

12:53

Charles

that’s not the point. the point is you are late. again

12:53

maybe i wouldn’t be if you decided to act normal for once and just drop him off at my apartment

12:53

instead of choosing a new meeting point in the middle of bumfuck nowhere monaco so we can do a trade off like he’s precious cargo and we’re divorced parents doing a kidswap

12:54

Charles

he IS precious cargo and we ARE divorced.

12:54

we weren’t married

12:54

Charles

and who’s fault was that

12:58

whatever. still acting like a divorced mother

12:59

going to lecture me on how to take care of leo again like we didn’t take care of him for two years together?

12:59

Charles

you need to be reminded

13:00

you just like taking your time to lecture me in your short shorts

13:03

here

13:05

Today

charles

16:30

you cannot move out simply because i live here

16:30

Charles

fuck you yes i can

16:30

you and your dumbass neighbours don’t deserve to be ANYWHERE near myself or leo

16:31

insinuating he’s less than my son

16:31

baby

16:32

Charles

don’t call me that

16:32

i’m angry with you

16:32

and we’ve been broken up five months now

16:32

no i am calling you a baby

16:32

i’m insulting you, baby

16:32

Charles

i am going to block you

16:33

promise?

16:33

Charles

you think i won’t

16:33

i know you won’t

16:33

because of leo

16:34

Charles

you do not even love him anymore

16:35

actually what floor are you on. what is your number. i will pick him up right this instant. because you do not love him

16:35

leo leclerc sleeping on a couch while cuddling a stuffed dinosaur

16:37

you wouldn’t dare. look how peacefully he is sleeping

16:37

you know i love him like one of my own, charlie. stop being so dramatic

16:37

Charles

oh mon cher prince

16:37

are you giving him kisses

16:37

and his cuddles

16:37

i am not starving him of attention

16:39

back to the topic at hand. you are not moving out. think how much easier this will be on leo. and you can even visit him when i have him. instead of texting me to complain and for updates.

16:41

Charles

i already do not like the people in this building. they do not take leo and i seriously

16:42

that is just lando. lando does not take anything seriously

16:43

lewis and alex both have pets of their own they’d go to war for, so they will understand you

16:43

they do f1 sundays. like we used to. everyone in one big room, instead. lewis and ollie are ferrari fans. this would be good for you, charles

16:43

after everything

16:44

Charles

don’t talk like you know what’s best for me

16:44

you don’t

16:44

not anymore

16:44

just give it a few months, charles. it’s hard as is to find a place in monaco

16:45

you going to give that up just cause of me?

16:45

Charles

fuck you. you know what you’re doing

16:46

whatever do you mean

16:47

Charles

i’ll stay for six months. but i’ll be looking around for new flats in the meantime

16:50

👍

16:52

Charles

drop leo at mine tonight.

16:55

i’m meant to have him till tomorrow evening!

16:56

Charles

tough luck asshole i want my leo cuddles

16:56

drop him by 8pm or im filing kidnapping charges

16:57

Notes:

okay maybe instead of slow updates i should have said short updates because this is fun to write and i’m getting the hang of html i think slightly (thank you ao3, and reddit, and random html websites)

short & sweet & world-building (and SO unlike me!)

(for whatever reason, last chapters note is showing below this as well - so ignore that? i guess! thank you!)

Notes:

first ever html-coded fic, please be kind. slow updates as i am focusing first and foremost on my other fic 'named lucky on a starlit night' but this idea came to me and suddenly i was learning how to code. so here we are. i also don't know french, so the french is probably wrong. so i am so so so sorry to all the french people out there. i love you all down, forgive me.

i hope you enjoyed!! <3
