Summary
“What do you think?” Charles asks, leaning back into the seat as he turns the laptop so Max can see the options.
“I think—” Max starts, “—that this can wait until after FP1.”
Charles’s lips curl downwards, and Max wants to kiss the look off his face. “There’s still like an hour until it starts. There’s no one even looking for me yet.”
That's a lie and they both know it—Charles’s phone had been going off like crazy until Charles pressed do not disturb and continued with his rant on why Kirgizstan is not an acceptable summer vacation destination, what the actual fuck Max.

Summary
There are a lot of people who have called Charles a masochist for sticking with Ferrari through thick and thin, when very few drivers would be willing to put up with the heartache. There are a lot of people who struggle to understand his resilience when there are so many teams that would fight tooth and nail to have him.
But the love and dedication he has for his team, nurtured since he was a child, fuel him and burn strong enough to make him stay and dream.
Maybe that’s the reason he can’t let Max Verstappen go either.
Or: Charles navigates through a difficult F1 season. In the middle of it all, he finds Max. Because Max is always there.

Summary
Charles looks like he's fighting a smile when he demands, “Say it again.”
“Boyfriend?” Max makes sure, slightly incredulous, feeling like he's officially lost, squandered, ruined for anyone else.
"Yeah, I– yeah, that.”
Max grins.
“Charles,” he sings, leaning over the lights, close enough that their noses brush, “Be my boyfriend, my Monegasque tart, my sexy smart-mouthed rival–”

Or, two future teammates get high, get on Mattia Binotto's wrong side through an inadvisable escapade involving fairy lights, get on a plane, and get a stuffed armadillo named Chax. In that order.Bookmarked by ByTheSummer (IWantTheIrishOne)
