Charlos F1 One Shots

6

[A/N: A little AU outside of racing]

It's the summer break for the F1 drivers, including Charles Leclerc, the driver for Scuderia Ferrari. He lately has all the time to recover from the bad first half of the season, in one of the interviews a fan asked the driver what we would be doing during the Summer Break.

"Well, with family and friends, of course, anything that could disconnect me from racing but we'll come back stronger and win the world championship". – Charles. Once the interview was done, he quickly changed and took the jet back to his hometown. With his usual routine of housework, doing the unpacking, and cooking himself a light meal according to his dietician of course. He then flopped to his bed, checking on any missed texts.

One of the group chats, especially with the four of them, George, Alex, Lando, and himself, agreed to have a game session tomorrow by noon, for old times sake, the last time they played was during a pandemic and now they're occupied by the race, luckily they have a summer break to atone it. Adding more sugar, his partner is going to drop by tomorrow to spend some time with him as well, luckily even though their schedules were hectic but they managed to make it happen for the two of them.

Ever since he had come out as Bi, everyone had tried to speculate who's Charles's partner, there were hints here and there but no one could identify exactly who, whether it's a female or male, he has a lot of male and female friends, it was difficult to guess. However, the identity was safe for now as the two agreed to do it at the correct time sooner or later.

The first day of Summer Break was true as planned, having to spend time with families in the morning and then now gaming session with his friends. The stream had started soon as they played Warzone, shared laughs and stories about their break and there's Charles who read the fan's chats in the process without realizing there were sounds of the door knocking on his apartment.

"Charles? You in there?", taking out the phone, only to realize Charles was streaming currently. "God thing I have the spare key, I forgot he was streaming today". The person then entered, hearing laughter and shouting from the gaming room, laughing internally, quite typical coming from Charles as then crept around the apartment, and laid down his bags and food. Happily humming a song. With the takeout on the plate and walked to the gaming room when the door was pushed, enough to startle the other man.

Charles turned around and gasped, got up, and blushed over the person's arrival in the room, he quickly turn off his mic but he couldn't turn off the camera, but by the glance he took, the camera didn't reveal much, just the upper body, and not a face reveal.

"Charles? Who's that bro? Is that who I think it is? Is that your boyfriend?" – Lando

"Lando, shut up! You're having the chat to bomb us with questions" - George

Slowly taking off his headphones as the F1 driver grabbed the plate, "I'm so sorry, I didn't realize the time and figured you be here by then". He looked back to his monitor where the chaos ensues with questions and wanting a face reveal of the person but Charles is anxious, he didn't know this was the way to reveal the man but he could make a small white lie for them, he was sure the other man was not ready or prepare as well.

"It's okay, I wanted to surprise you actually but by the time I was here, I checked you were streaming live, so I have the spare key with me you gave me after our anniversary". The other man smiled, and looked to the side a bit, realizing he was on camera but his face isn't revealing. Charles was sure to feel the embarrassment from this as he remembered the topic of discussion about revealing their relationship to others. Only very few people knew they were together, now it was almost accidental.

"I'm ready if you're ready, if you tell me to lie then I'll lie, I'll respect whatever we have right now, nothing changes that even if we go to hiding. I love you always". Feeling his heartbeat stopped for a moment to absorb the warmth from the words, he trust the man, he always will, no matter what he says, his actions spoke out for him, and he did. He looked back to the stream chat still filled with questions as he passed on another chair in the room. "You want to join in?".

Charles put on his headphones back on, "I'm sorry everyone, couldn't put a standby mode there but I would like to introduce someone special to you guys, Lando, be nice, okay?".

"Hola everyone, wow, you have a lot of fans". They could tell the spam of chats was starting again, as some recognized him while others complimented his looks.

"Hi everyone, my name is Carlos Sainz, for those who do recognize me, yes I am currently a rally race driver".

"Oh, your dad is Carlos Sainz Sr I assume?", Alex asked and Carlos nodded. Soon, Lando and George had their questions and Carlos was glad to answer in the process as Lando gave him a pep talk. Charles watched along as he listen along, he could listen to his boyfriend's voice all day long. So soothing and charming, but the genuine tone and bonus with the looks but he was attracted to the personality.

"Charles Leclerc, you have been staring at the man non-stop!" – Alex.

"How did you two meet though? I'm surprised I feel like I did see you before but I may have forgotten". – George.

Carlos hummed, "I came with my dad a few times but I was a huge fan of Alonso. Back then I thought I wanted to pursue this sport but I preferred Rally, I looked up to Kimi Raikkonen for Rally. I kinda got lost along the way through the garages and then Charles was still with Alfa Romeo back then and we walked back together. The very same guy who gave me a heart attack with the crash and at that moment, I realized I fell for him after all".

"Then he came to a few of my races whenever he could, I was surprised every time, with no second thoughts, I bluntly asked him out and he thought it was just a friendly hangout –".

"I'm sorry!" – Charles.

"It took a few times of convincing of course, but I managed, I was patient enough". Soon, the chats were all very supportive for the two as the stream continues, soon they were back in the game as Carlos watched along. Later he excused himself as he needed to finish unpacking his bags and continue a few housework. Later, Charles and the gang ended their session. The F1 driver took off his headphones and walk out of the gaming room, only to see Carlos in the living room eating snacks while scrolling through Netflix.

"Hey, hope you had a great time". Charles nodded as he leaned down on the man, giving him a long kiss, "I miss you, thank you for spending time with me". Carlos hummed, "I miss you too, come here, I want cuddles, you get to choose what to watch", soon Carlos had his arms wide open and Charles just flopped to the man, leaving him to lose a breath, "Ouf".

"Sorry, we have to come out so sudden like that".

"It's okay, I would gladly shout from the rood that you're mine, you know that". The younger man scoffed but he was flattered by his words again.

"I love you, now can I pick the movie?"

"Sure, oh and I love you too".
