    Summary

    “Lately, you two race like, comment est-ce qu'on dit? Like you are having a conversation on track. Like you are pleading with each other."

    It is not that Charles won’t talk about it. He just cannot see how he could explain it.

    It goes a little like this: In March, he and Max were friends. In May, they were more. In November, they are nothing at all.

    Summary

    A nightmare. A hug. A craving Sanji doesn’t dare name—and a silence that threatens to last forever.

    Summary

    “You know what?” Sanji tells the room at large, a cigarette clamped firmly between his teeth as he tries to steady his nerves, while simultaneously waiting for his impending doom. “I’m just going to come right out and say it, this is entirely my own fault.”

    His companion stirs next to him, his shoulders rising and falling to show he’d heard Sanji, even though his sole remaining eye stays focused on the image in front of them. “That tracks,” he says easily. “Most things usually are.”

    Summary

    After a few moments, the blond speaks again, his voice lighter this time. “Maybe we should do something different.”

    “What do you mean?”

    Max leans back, a small grin playing on his lips. “I rented a chalet in Austria. Just me, some peace and quiet, maybe some skiing if I feel like it. No family, no expectations. You should come.”

    Charles’s eyes widen. “With you?”

    “Why not? It’s not like I planned for company, but I think it could be fun. Better than staying cooped up in Monaco.”

    Charles’s gaze drops to his coffee, his fingers tracing the edge of the cup as he considers. There’s a flicker of something in his expression—doubt, perhaps, but also a hint of hope. “Maybe it’s not such a bad idea,” he says finally, his voice tentative.

     

    OR: Max decides to avoid the annual Christmas obligations and rents a cabin in Austria. He spontaneously asks Charles to join him.
