    Summary

    “You are severely touch-starved Mr Leclerc," the doctor explained quietly, pushing the tissue box towards his patient. "You're the worst case I've ever seen, to be honest. Your body is screaming for physical affection, which causes this… heightened emotivity."

    "Can I just have depression like normal people?" Charles asked, his voice breaking on the last syllable, as he grabbed a tissue from the box.

    OR

    Charles has a condition. He needs to be hugged as much as possible, otherwise he cries. Constantly. The paddock tries to help. Mysteriously, Max's hugs work much better than everyone else's.

    Summary

    When he was a little boy, hanging out with Uncle Michael and with his father's other gridmates and their kids, he never felt this kind of pressure. But Max hadn't come back to any Formula One race until now, and so his six-year-old self's memories are bound to feel too far away.

    Right now, in the eyes of everyone, he's just another 'tifoso' waiting for his turn to be driven around for a hot lap by Charles Leclerc.

    Who said Formula One's Pirelli Hot Laps aren't perfect for a meet-cute?

    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.
