Carlos Sainz's Birthday Fic

1st September is an important date for Charles as it is the day his soulmate was born in the name of Carlos Sainz. Who would have thought or expected he would be his lover up to this point, the two had been friends since the early years of Charles's debut in F1 and one of the few people that befriended was Carlos himself.

The two then escalated on being friends on and off the track, when they announced that Carlos was going to be Charles's teammate in 2021, he was excited like a child meeting their favorite celebrity. Back then, he had a tiny crush on the Spaniard until he saw Carlos in the Ferrari red suit. Overall, he would experience nosebleeds, turning red, and needing to hide to calm his heart down. It was the night after the 2021 season Charles finally dared to confess even though the possibility of being rejected may affect their friendship and professional side.

Even after that, Charles still felt the weight still and then he heard it. "I'm glad because I like you too". Before he could make up a response, Carlos leaned to close the gap with his lips on the other, and that is how that happened between them.

Well, enough flashback. Charles finally got up they had media day before practice day, and Carlos had gone earlier to get breakfast for them. He then took a shower and put on a Ferrari shirt when he heard the door open, the man smiled as he went rushing to the door before slightly jumping on the other, Carlos was laughing, on one hand, he was holding his boyfriend while the other holding the food, trying not to drop it.

"Happy Birthday Carlos".

"Thank you love". The two continued to hug for a few more seconds before going to the unfinished dining room, they were just able to move their stuff from their previous apartment which was Charles's but since Carlos had moved in, they decide to get a house of their own. "So would you like your birthday gift before the press conference or later?". With a hint of a smirk on the tone as he leaned on the palm of his hand, the birthday man gulped on his water, almost caught by surprise by the question.

"I don't mind if you didn't get me anything, I'm sure you think about the race rather than my birthday, we can celebrate some other time, maybe after the race week", that made Charles pout, he knows he cares for the championship but Carlos is a very special person, as much as racing or even the championship is good for him, but Carlos is more important than such championship.

"I want to get you a present whether you asked or not, so please let me be a good boyfriend".

Carlos nodded, Charles felt relief as he checked his watch, he prayed inside that the present will be ready before they come back from their media duties. The two then leave for work as they went to attend the press conference before race week starts, and Charles managed to ask the others to keep Carlos busy as possible. While that is happening, he had his go-pro on and hid inside Carlos's closet, it was cramped but it is what it is.

Carlos, on the other hand, was greeted by everyone, even from the other teams for his birthday, he thanked them as he get his daily dose of coffee, and he did text Charles on his whereabouts but no response or even the messages were read yet. The Spaniard then walked back to the motorhome as there were cameras around, which must be for the full access content. He checked Charles's room and there was no one, must have been somewhere else, where could he have been?

Once he had walked into his room, he was greeted by birthday presents on the couch on the side, he was in awe of how many they have gotten him, "wow, little space now". Within a fraction of a second, he heard a loud pop and let out whatever scream he doesn't know as he slowly sat down on the couch as the man who is the love of his life laughed while complaining about how cramped he was in there and his legs were hurting. The Monegasque then popped another popper as they watched the confetti fall everywhere, for Carlos it was somehow slow motion as if he was watching the fireworks as if the night, he had first kissed Charles, nothing but good memories.

Minutes after that, they then celebrated with the whole Ferrari team, they had cake and everything, nothing but good things happening today and luckily it didn't take long before the two drivers went back to their home.

"Ready for another gift?". – Charles.

"I guess so, at least this time you're not hiding in the closet right?". – Carlos. Before entering, Charles had asked him to put on a blindfold.

"Ohh, blindfold to the bed are we?".

Charles playfully gasps and had a pout on his face, "You spoiled it, now I don't want to give you your gift". Carlos could tell the other was pouting as he smiled over their childish behavior. However, when he didn't hear another word from the other, he was worried a little, did he accidentally upset him by ruining the surprise?

"Charles, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you –", he took off his blindfold as the view of the house changed, he swore that they had just moved in and there were unpacked boxes and types of furniture that were not supposed to arrive today yet, how?

"Are you okay with the arrangement? We can rearrange again after the triple header soon".

"I love it, when did you, wow, actually I am impressed, and this saves a lot of time and effort, but sure we'll check for rearrangements just in case".

"Would you like a tour?". With that, Carlos nodded as Charles held his hand and led him the way to their house. Started with the kitchen, with the two being able to throw a party with their family and friends and Charles knows how much the Spaniard likes to cook for events. The bathrooms were all right, bedroom caught Carlos smirking as if he was plotting things and sent shivers to the other's spine, "Get your mind out of the gutter Mr. Sainz".

Finally, the last room Charles wanted to show him was Carlos's own personal office room. Charles managed to get the extra room he assumed was for storage was actually for Carlos. The last apartment they shared was difficult for Carlos for the lack of space and ends up working in the living room or on the floor of the room while Charles had the gaming room, even struggling with the arrangement of his gaming setup. Carlos thanked the man by giving him kisses around his face and having the other giggle makes him all mushy as a result.

Charles then showed his gaming room, with his piano by the corner, Carlos was amazed but he quickly realized there were 2 setups, "why do you have two setups?".

"Umm, I thought maybe you could play with me when you're free, I don't mind, I know you're not really into games like I do, but you know, just putting the possibility on the table –".

"I love to, thank you". Charles blushed at the response, he could feel his face heat up as he looked at the Spaniard, gosh he loves that man so much, he would cry right now. Carlos had his arm bringing Charles close to his side and whispered, "I don't know what I did to deserve all of this, I was happy to still with our apartment, but knowing we both bought this together, I feel so much love from you, your happiness is my happiness, I'll give everything to make you happy".

The younger driver hugged him again, trying not to shed more tears, his heart was about to explode anytime soon if the Spaniard keeps this up. "You did nothing, you being yourself and love me for the way I am, for who I am is all I need, I want to show you my appreciation, even if it's not your birthday, I want to spoil you in any way I can, just like you did for me how can I not do the same for you".

They pulled away after a few more tight hugs and kisses between them. Carlos ruffled the other's hair, back to being their childish self, Charles laughed as he tried to push the other man away, "Okay, stop. Come on, I have one more gift for you".

"When will it end?".

"Last one, I promise you".

"Okay, okay, what do you have for me?". Charles leans in, whispering sweet words, leaving the man shiver visibly, and his face starts to go red, mouth open in shock.

"What do you say Carlos Sainz?". – Charles.

"This I cannot refuse". – Carlos.

"Should we go test out the new bed frame?". Carlos winked, leaving the man once again blushed, biting his lip, but nodded.
