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
“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.

Summary
“Every year, she asks if I’m bringing someone home for Christmas. I think she’s worried I’m lonely. And every year, I have to tell her no, which I just know breaks her heart. So I might have said yes this time.”
That draws a surprised laugh from Max, who stares at him with wide eyes. “And you don’t actually have someone to bring home for Christmas, I take it?”
“No,” the Monégasque admits, rubbing at the back of his neck.
“Damn,” Max huffs, sounding both surprised and amused. “You didn’t give her a fake name as well, did you?”
And, well, at least he didn’t technically do that.
“Not exactly.”
“What does that mean?”
Charles lets out a groan and leans his head back against the wall again, staring at the bright Lusail sky.
He takes a deep breath, deciding he’s already told Max too much to back out now, and offers him the kind of honesty he was unable to offer his own mother.
“I might have told her I was bringing you?”
---
OR: Charles lies about having a boyfriend to bring home for Christmas. That "boyfriend" is Max.

Summary
"If it makes you feel any better," Oscar startled at his mother's voice, "I've never heard of anyone seriously carrying a grudge over a soulmate bruise."
"I know..." He hesitated, staring at the floor, "It's not that, not really."
"Feeling guilty then?" She guessed.
He let out the breath he'd been holding and met her eyes in the mirror. She was leaning against the door frame, arms crossed, a rather fond grin on her face.
"I don't want to hurt them. But I don't want to stop racing either."
She nodded in understanding, "And you can't do both."

Summary
Charles kisses the way he does everything else.
With complete focus, no hesitation, no second thoughts, full send. He kisses thoroughly and passionately and without reservation. It’s so like him.
So, really, Max doesn’t know why it surprises him, but maybe the surprise is due to the fact, that Charles is kissing him in the first place. Because about fifteen seconds ago, he wasn’t. Fifteen seconds ago, Charles was on the other side of the room, looking at Max with an unreadable look on his face.
Or: Charles kisses Max. Max makes sure it happens again.

“Wow, what a question to end with!” Charles chuckles, pondering his answer. “I think all the drivers here are attractive in their own ways.”
“Are you aware that you are the most popular answer so far?”
“Me? Well I’m very flattered.” Charles beams at the reporter, his eyes sparkling in the afternoon sun.
“But if you had to pick someone…” the reporter gently prompts.
Charles hums. “Well since you asked, I will say Max Verstappen.”
Charles names Max as the most attractive driver on the grid. Max spirals.

“Well, I wouldn’t want you sleeping on the new couch,” Tim murmured.
“Sure,” he responded.
“I mean, we’ll be fine sleeping in the same bed.”
"Oh."

There was this one Tumblr post I saw that was like, "my current crush basically said she didn't want me sleeping on her brand new couch, so she forced me to sleep in bed with her. we're married now," I can't really remember it but it very much inspired me.Bookmarked by Shade9

Summary
Music teacher, Paul, has fancied the school's new guitar teacher, John, since he first laid eyes on him. But between his job, troublesome students he has a soft spot for, missing his two best friends, and a car that keeps breaking down, he's got enough to worry about.
But when his head of department, Brian, takes some unexpected leave, Paul has to take over the school's Christmas show and it might just be a blessing in disguise. (If it weren't for the extra workload, John insisting that he hates Christmas every five minutes, and the fact that without Brian there, Paul might actually lose the plot completely).
