Summary
When Max gets roped into private golf lessons as part of a Secret Santa gift, he expects nothing but boredom and frustration. But his instructor—Charles Leclerc, Monte-Carlo’s top golf pro—is an entirely different kind of problem. What starts as reluctant lessons quickly spirals into competitive tension, teasing banter, and an unconventional wager on the eighth hole changes everything.
Either way, golf has never been this interesting.

Summary
His life, Charles realized with a sick jolt, had begun to revolve completely around Max Verstappen. Everything he did, centered around the 𝘉𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘹, 𝘋𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘢𝘹, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘔𝘢𝘹. Accidentally, he seemed to have unlocked a secret option D: 𝘋𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘢𝘹, 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘸𝘰.

Summary
“No, I am going to Florida.”
“Miami is in Florida, Charles.”
Charles whips around with a sudden finger in his face for the second time this evening. A drunken Charles special, it seems. “I am not stupid, Max. Do not treat me like that, yes?”
It sort of makes Max think about that Binotto clip from years prior. He holds his hands up in defence. “Alright, alright.”
Charles stares him down, finger now hovering over Max’s top lip. Max can vaguely smell his skin, not enough to categorise any of the scents, but enough to have him swallowing a whine. He wants to take Charles’ finger into his mouth just to see what would happen. He doesn't.
“I cannot stay here. This city drives me crazy,” Charles mumbles. Max wouldn't have heard it if they weren't this close. Almost chest to chest, nothing but a sliver of self-control and doubt between them.
(or: Charles needs to escape Monaco, Max will follow him anywhere)

Summary
It's just because Max had to go and bring it up. He knows it's not coming from the stupid video, his shoddy grasp on English as a kid who barely went to school. It's the memory of it all, of the times he and Max have collided over and over throughout their lives. What if Max wasn't there, keeping his world on its axis, and—
"You are acting fucking weird again," Max informs him.
or: it’s the 12th anniversary of the inchident. charles still can’t tell max he loves him.
