It Started with a Song || charles leclerc

A new journey... together

The next morning Y/n got up and couldn't get the vibe of last nights conversation out her mind. Why was Charles so nervous? Was he doubting them moving in together now? She couldn't understand but proceeded to go back to her place to get ready in a red dress:

When Charles called her letting her know he was nearby she locked up and walked down to the curb. In no time Charles pulled up, he was looking so handsome in his suit and Y/n only hopes the conversation would be positive. She couldn't bear the thought of losing him...

After driving in what felt like nervous silence they pulled up to a building. Charles got out and opened Y/n's door holding his hand out as if to escort her onto a red carpet.

C: Mon amour, I want you to see something.

He led her inside and into the elevator, he pressed the button marked '7' and up they went. Y/n had never seen this place before but couldn't figure out why Charles brought her to this place. When the doors opened they stepped into the bright hallway with many doors.

C: Okay, right this way.

He led her to a door with the number 23 on it.

Y/n: Charles why are we here?
C: Just wait and see.

He unlocked the door revealing a beautiful apartment with a stunning view of the harbour and many windows. In the middle of the floor he had set up a cute picnic with lights and cushions.

Y/n: Charles it's beautiful! But what are we doing here?
C: Just look around, see the balcony... it overlooks the docks, and you can see most of the city from here...

Y/n walked towards the balcony, taking in the stunning view.
Y/n: Charles, I love it, but really why are we-

She turned around and froze in her step. Tears immediately began falling when she saw Charles down on his knees...

Y/n: Charles?

C: Y/n, from the moment I heard your voice to the moment I saw your face I was in love. I remember everything about the first day I saw you and knew that you were the girl I had never believed to exist. I- I knew in the moment that I spoke to you, you were different, special. When I got to know you and your crazy formula one fan self, I just fell more in love-

Y/n: Charles-

C: Wait. You are absolutely perfect and I couldn't believe I found you. Through everything, all the fights, crazy exes and long lost friends I knew nothing would change how I felt about you. The keys were our first big step but now, now we're starting a new journey. So in the living room of our new apartment... surprise... I ask you, y/n y/l/n, will you marry me?

Y/n now sobbing looked at Charles who was also crying and walked up to him. She pulled him up and kissed him.

Y/n: Charles Leclerc, in our beautiful new home... thank you... I say, I will marry you!

Arthur, Pierre, Lando and Max: YESSSS!!!!! FINALLY!!!! THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED!!!

Y/n: What the-? Where were you all?
Lando: The bedroom over there. We wouldn't miss this moment, we all had our part in it.

C: I'll explain later, I love you.
Y/n: I love you more.

They kissed again and held each other close. The others announced they'd leave them alone for a bit and headed out. Y/n and Charles didn't even answer them, they simply stood there holding each other. It was like they had each found the only thing they needed, and wouldn't let it get out of reach. The two of them had each been halves but together they were finally whole.

Charles and Y/n rested on the cushions together holding hands.
Y/n: It truly is a beautiful ring love.
C: I knew the minute I saw it...

Y/n: Everything is just perfect, how on Earth did you do this?
C: I had help, Pierre gave me the training excuse idea, he also helped set up everything. Lando had to distract you yesterday because I know you love your walks but I couldn't risk you seeing me. Arthur was simply my support throughout all my nerves, and Max, well Max insisted he film because you're and I quote, 'like a sister.'

Y/n: Hehe, yeah Max and I have become close like that. I just love how you thought of everyone right down to distracting me. Best date ever...
