The two drivers from Scuderia Ferrari have been in a relationship since the moment they met even before there were teammates on the same team. Charles and Carlos have finally moved in together in a new house they have bought in equal payment and moved in just in time for Summer Break.

It was an easy move, all processes and deliveries were done as they should be, and on to unpacking them. Charles has carried most of his boxes to the living room. He checked every label of the said boxes as one of them caught his attention, "Photos". Well, it's nice to take a break a few times here and there so he pulled the box to him as he opened it, framed pictures of him and his family were among the, Taking them one by one as he smiled over the memory trails. From family pictures to his best of friends, once there were all out, photo albums were next, slowly flipping each page, he could hear the sound of the front door opening and closing.

"You here?". It was Carlos, he smiled as he returned to the question, "Yeah, upstairs bedroom". Soon he could hear the footsteps coming into the room.

"Ah there you are, I bought some takeouts, got your favorite pasta by the way". Gosh, everything about Carlos could make the Monegasque turn into mush, he loves the Spaniard so much, and to show how much he loves the man, he had suggested moving in together, but Carlos decides to surprise him by planning to buy a house and they decide to split the payment to get the house and here they were. The older driver then sat down on the floor next to his boyfriend, "Hey, photos! You have our sprinted right?".

Charles nodded as he point out to the corner where he had placed them, "Would you like to see this one?". Carlos nodded as the two opened the album and Charles began to tell each backstory of the pictures. Carlos admired the beauty of the baby pictures, he might end up having baby fever, wanting to have mini versions of them around the house. Then there were separate photo albums of Charles's karting days as a kid, in an instant, Carlos beamed as memories rushed in, good ones.

"Do you remember the first time we met?". – Carlos.

"Yeah, who would have thought that we'll end up together, driving for the same team even", Charles said as he laid a kiss on Carlos's cheek, leaving the other man blush.

'And they say they don't believe in fate, well, I'm hungry, time for food?". Charles nodded as he followed his boyfriend behind, leaving the book open to a picture of them karting together.

Flashback

"We get to karting with the seniors soon" – Max. Charles didn't care, all he wants to race, he then grabbed his helmet and hopped off his sit and need to take a look at the track they were going to race on, he even learned that there was nothing wrong with studying, after all, racing is more into the mind than your muscles. In this case, he wants to familiarize himself with the track, and know what to expect in the turns here and there.

He was so deep in thought when he stumbled on one of the steps on the stairs until someone grabbed him on the arm.

"Woah there kid, be careful". He looked up to someone who was taller and maybe older looking, however, his eyes were the ones that caught his attention.

"Hey, kid? You with me?".

"Huh? Yeah, thanks, I was just about to see the track, I missed a step. I'm Charles Leclerc", while the other nodded and smiled. "I'm Carlos Sainz", Charles tilted his head to the side, "You sound doubtful, is that your name?".

"Huh? It is, I just assume you would mention my dad".

"Your dad?". Carlos hummed, "I thought everyone know that sorry. I meant that whenever someone asks my name, everyone would instantly recognize it. You're different than others". With that he proceed to ruffle the smaller child's hair, Charles pouted and tried his best to fix his hair. "Stop that". Carlos then apologized then the two fell into a small but comfortable silence and smiles were shared between them as they talked about their love of racing and talked about the track that they were about to race on.

Once the time come for the race, the two walked back to their group, Charles poked Carlos's arm, "Yeah?".

"I hope someday we'll race together, as rivals or teammates, in F1 together". – Charles.

Carlos nodded as he waved at him before walking away, only to answer only Charles could hear him, "Sure, I'll hold on to it".

Time Skip

"You're signing with Ferrari!? You're going to be my teammate!?" – Charles.

"Yeap. Oh and Charles?". – Carlos

"Hmm?". – Charles.

"Will you go out with me?". The younger driver beamed as he smiled wide, nodding, "I would like that"
