    Summary

    “Good evening. I’m Charles,” he offers his hand, which Max takes and for a second, Charles thinks he’s going to kiss the back of it. Some muscle spasms in the tight grip, rough velvet against soft skin. When Charles gets his hand back, it feels like he lost a finger or two in the fight.

    “What’s your poison, Charles?” Max asks, settling on the barstool like it’s not designed to be the most uncomfortable chair in the world.

    “Cyanide, usually. I’ll settle for a gin tonic for now.”

    or:

    Charles is a supermodel that has learned everything he needs to make his world turn. Now, he has no idea what Max Verstappen wants from him.

    Summary

    He stops dead at the picture of Charles, shooting upright on the lounge, dislodging Sassy in the process. She hisses loudly at him and darts off, but Max isn’t concerned with that.

    Because Charles fucking Leclerc has cut his hair off.

    The photo is just a fan picture of Charles in a suit at a gala of some variety—an unimportant detail—and he looks great in the suit, crisp and blue, a black turtleneck underneath. Handsome, one might objectively describe it as. Sexy, a girl, gay, or Italian man would say. Not Max, of course, because he’s above that, but. Somebody else might describe it that way.

    The sides are just gone, shaved short and gone. The top is still as long and fluffy as ever, styled very nicely but the sides.

    The sides, Max laments.

    He looks stupid. It’s terrible. Max hates it with a fiery, visceral passion. He knows there is no way Pascale Leclerc did that to her son. She would have stopped him from looking like some kind of dapper, handsome—

    She would have stopped it, is the point.

    Maybe it’s just the lighting, Max reasons frantically.

    // Charles gets a haircut. Max has a meltdown.

    Summary

    “I’ve been thinking,” Charles whispers softly into the nape of Max’s neck, placing a gentle kiss there, “What if I help you with your next rut?”

    He says it so casually, as though he hasn’t just taken his teeth and torn open Max’s jugular vein, letting the blood gush out everywhere and stain the crisp hotel sheets pooling around them.

    “What,” Max chokes out, barely breathing, barely seeing as his eyes glaze with tears.

    “Your next rut,” Charles repeats simply, “I thought about it and I’d really like to spend your rut with you.”

    This is it, Max thinks. Charles knows. He knows how hopelessly in love Max is. He knows how greedy he is, he knows how much he wants. So he’s telling Max the only things he can have. Sex. Just sex. It’s all they are and it’s all they ever will be.

    (Or: Max has been in love with Charles for as long as he can remember but the only time he can have him is when they are tangled together in bed. But then Max's feelings reach a breaking point and Charles asks to help Max through his next rut and everything just kind of falls apart.)
