Wildest dreams || Charles Leclerc x Max Verstappen (lestappen)

Say you'll remeber me

Notes:
Except for the plot I own nothing and this is all fiction.

Was inspired by wildest dreams-Taylor swift.

English is not my first language and this is my first fic so please be nice.

Down the road I might put some warnings in this story.

Okay done with the rambling and on with the story!

———————————————————————————

If he is honest with himself, he should've seen it coming. How could this last? he thought.

Everything in the last three years was a display of the universe telling them to stop. To not go trough with what they were doing, even though nothing ever felt so good. So now, standing in front of him, hearing from him , that he thinks 'they should break up'.
While he feels his lovers smaller hand on his own tears stained face, he thinks back to these moments, their highs and lows.

From meeting each other on a very young age on a karting track somewhere in France, their infamous inchident , the pretending not to like each other but slowly but steadily getting closer, him saying to his previous team to definitely take him on in their f3 team, cause he would go far(and he would never want to stop racing him), being there trough loss, pain and sorrow, to finally seeing each other in the f1 paddock again, no longer able to withstand the attraction between them, accepting he wasn't what people wanted him to be, especially his father. Not to mention the pressure of their sport, Male dominated, straight male dominated sport. Not to mention their teams and sponsors He was finally ready to let it all go and let it all come over them. But before he could even experience what would be, whatever that would be, happiness? Hate? Freedom? It was all over.

He stared in to his lovers eyes, his ex lover from now on... the big beautiful jewels of green mixed with golden yellow were he loved staring in to for the last three years, even so much longer if he was honest. He saw his lover was crying too, eyes glossy from the tears , even though that wasn't hiding the dulness in them that he hadn't seen since spa 2019.

The look in his eyes made him determined, this couldn't be the end, why would his eyes go dull if this is what he wanted?, the things they had gone trough weren't meant to show them that they should stop, no it meant to show them they could handle everything in the long run.

He knew the love of his life wouldn't change his mind for now, but he hoped that what I would do and say next, would make him remember him, the times they had, the love they had found in each other and the life they meant to have so they would find the way back to each other in the end.

He took the Monegasque's hand from his cheek and intertwined their fingers, he put is other hand on his cheek and wiped his lovers tears with thumb. While looking sternly in his eyes. His voice cracked when he spoke. 'Charlie, you are everything to me, and you will always be everything to me, so please say you'll remember me, say you remember everything we been through and what we could have been, say you'll remember us standing here on this very same spot in 2018 when we finally stopped being stupid, staring at the sunset together red lips and rosy cheeks. Say you'll see me again even, even if it's just pretend. Or in just wildest dreams, I don't care, just please promise me Charlie you won't forget us... you won't forget me'
When he finished he let go of an audible sob that he has been holding in for longer then he probably should have. He looked in his eyes for what felt like a eternity, but when he didn't get a reaction he looked down and let his hands glide from Charles's hand and face.

When he turned around, ready to walk away, run away. Charles grabbed his wrist and pulled him back, turning him around looking straight in to max's ocean blue eyes. He grabbed max's face and kissed him, full force, full of love for all he felt for the man in front of him before ending the kiss and putting their foreheads together. He took a deep breath before he started. 'Max, I will always remember you and remember us, cause you are everything and always be everything. It... it's just... in this life we can't be...' with that he let his hand fall from max's face, on to his shoulders sliding down to his hands, he gave his hands one last squeeze , closing his eyes for a second, their heads still together, biting away his tears. 'Je t'Aimé , Max c'est pourquoi je te laisse partir'

After that sentence he let go of max, he ran away, letting his tears fall.

With that max stood alone in the top of the hill, looking over the Monte Carlo skyline, the moon reflecting on the sea. Staring in the distance to where Charles ran, after that everything was a blur.

So... hope you liked it...

Translation from the story:
'Je t'Aimé, Max c'est pourquoi je te laisse partir'= i love you Max, that's why I'm letting you go.

My plan for this story to go back in time to explain what happend before this moment.
