Summary
Alex leans forward suddenly. “You guys really don’t remember?”
Charles steals his watermelon juice, takes a sip and subsequently drops his head into his hands, the heel of his palm digging into his eyes.
“Remember what?” He asks, wondering if he really wants to know.
“You guys got married last night.”
Charles almost cracks a smile. “Are you ashamed of it?”
“Of what?”
“This,” Charles gestures between himself and Max vaguely, but for a split second, even he doesn’t know what he means. There is no this, there is no them. “Our marriage.”
Or, Max and Charles learn to fall in love in reverse.

Summary
Max has long stopped giving a damn about Charles’s lack of boundaries when it comes to physical propinquity, but for a brief moment he wonders when he became so accustomed to the softness of his friend’s touch that it feels awry when he’s without it.
“Max,” Charles says, eyes glinting in amusement as he looks up, watching Max watch him. “Are you even listening to me?”
Everyone has a breaking point, Max thinks, and perhaps tonight he’s finally reached his own.
Max and Charles are a story in waiting. It’s been a long time coming.

Charles has an allegiance to pain that Max will never understand, and will never pretend to.
“It’s hard to heal a wound when you’re in it, Charles,” Max says quietly, smoothing a thumb over Charles’s eyebrows.
The aftermath of Monaco 2022.
