    Summary

    “What is wrong with you?” Seb accuses. “What are you looking at?”

    Lewis flips the invitation around, holding it up to the screen so Seb can see it through FaceTime.

    “Ah,” Seb says. “Yes, mine arrived yesterday. They’re eager, aren’t they?”

    Lewis purses his lips, then pulls the invite away so he can read over it again.

     

    Max Verstappen

    &

    Charles Leclerc

    Invite you to celebrate their wedding

    17.08.24

     

    “Do you think about getting married?” Seb asks.

    Lewis can’t help his scoff. “Seb.”

    “What?” Seb asks innocently. “You are 38 now, surely it is time to settle down.”

    “And get some bees?” Lewis asks wryly, flipping the invitation over so it’s face down.

    Seb shrugs. “There are worse things.”

    Lewis struggles to swallow down the lump that’s suddenly formed in his throat. His shoulder aches, a phantom pain that his doctor says is more psychosomatic than ongoing complications.

    “Yeah,” he agrees quietly. “I guess there are.”

    Summary

    “I’m in love with you.”

    Well, fuck.

    Charles takes a deep breath. He’s let down a lot of people before, but none of them ever meant as much to him as Max does. He thinks he’s always been kind in the past, but as he thinks through all of his I’m sorry, I’m not interested’s and I’m flattered, but I’m not really looking for anything right now’s, he realises that none of it should be said to Max. Max deserves so much better than that.

    “Max, I—” He clenches his jaw again, rubbing his sweaty palm against his jean-clad thigh. “You know I’m straight.”

    Max nods once. “Yeah, I know. Believe me, I feel so fucking stupid.”

    //

    Max confesses he's in love with Charles.

    Charles goes on a journey.

    Summary

    It wasn’t supposed to happen like this.

    It was supposed to be planned around his schedule- aligned with winter break, maybe. Or even after he’d retired. He should’ve been with his partner, whoever they were; he’d never dared hope it would be Max. He should’ve been wrapped in their embrace, murmuring hushed words of excitement to one another as they waited for the minutes to pass and a result to show on the test.

    They should’ve found out together. Ready. Eager. Full of love.

    Instead it was like this: alone, curled on a cold bathroom floor, a painfully impersonal PDF staring at Charles from his phone. The only positivity to be found in the situation was sitting in the results column of the file, neatly slotted next to the word pregnancy.

    The email. The result. The loneliness. It was all too much. Charles began to cry once again.

    At the top of his screen, a response popped up with impeccable timing.

    i told you not to text me.

    Alternatively:
    Charles is in love with Max. Max is in love with Charles. It really is that complicated, and then it gets worse.
    Meanwhile, Lando just wants Oscar to kiss him, and he's not quite sure how to make that happen.

    Summary

    Oscar’s well aware that he’s got that tight clench in his chest again. That selfish, greedy clench that he knows is a bad, bad idea. A way to get his feelings hurt all over because Lando’s going to leave him like he always does, and Oscar will have to act normal in the next interview as if he didn’t just see Lando like this, as if Lando hasn’t fucked him up irreparably for anyone else.

    And God knows what the future holds for Oscar, but nothing’s ever going to compare to Lando. Nothing. No one will ever come close.

    He knows this with absolute certainty.

    Summary

    Lando’s been using phantom touch on his soulmate for ages—small things, harmless things, just enough to keep himself entertained. A tap here, a brush there. Nothing serious.
    Until one painfully boring debrief, he decides to tickle them.
    Across the room, Oscar Piastri chokes, jerks, and falls clean out of his chair.

    Lando suddenly isn’t bored anymore.
