First of all thank you all for your lovely messages ❤️
I'm in a much better situation now and I  hope to be able to update this more often. Hope you all enjoyed that crazy qualifying today!

*Monaco winter break, 5 days after Abu Dhabi*

Chalres should have been happy, he really should have been. He had just driven a great season for the team of his dreams and easily matched his teammate the 4x time world champion Sebastian Vettel, but he wasn't, in fact he had never felt this bad in his life ever. He knew why he did it, he had to. Two F1 drivers couldn't date each other it just wouldn't work, their teams wouldn't allow it and the media would destroy him but no matter how logically he thought about it deep down all he wanted was the Dutch driver with his pretty blue eyes and messy blonde hair

*4 days ago Abu Dhabi*

Chalres needed someone to talk to, someone who'd know what to do. Pierre was his best friend and always seemed to be a calm cool headed guy so naturally he asked him. Chalres was about to text him when he realised this wasn't just some random girl he had had another one of his hookups with, he hadn't even come out to Pierre yet, let alone just text him and ask what he should do and how to date Max Verstappen of all people. Chalres actually smiled at the thought of that. How would he have reacted a year ago in the same situation so yea he thought that probably wasn't a great idea

"Hey bro I hope your not too hungover could we meet up for some coffee later ?"

Pierre groaned as he awoke to the sound of a notification on his phone, "what clown is texting me at 8am in the morning the day after the huge after party" he said out loud, even seeing it was Charles didn't make it much better but it must be something important because after all Charles probably wasn't in the best of health either this soon after the party.

"Yea ofc I can mate, what's up? Is 3 or 4 pm ok ?"

"4 is fine I'll tell you later :)"

Pierre couldn't help but be slightly worried even for Charles this was strange because Chalres always told him everything, He was pretty sure the mongasque must have gotten himself into some stupid situation like always.

*coffee*

Chalres didn't want to lie to himself this idea was beginning to sound worse and worse every minute, what if Pierre hated him ? Then what would he do?, Just as his mind was spiraling he heard the door open and the familiar face of the French driver walked in. They quickly hugged and sat down.

"So Chalres what's up"
"Well um in don't know how to say this"

"Oh god what this idiot done now", Pierre thought almost saying it out loud then he looked up at Charles and his eyes widened, the Ferrari driver looked terrified, Pierre had never seen him like this before and his expression immediately turned serious

"Chalres what's wrong, what's happened" Pierre asked seriously concerned for his friend now

"I kissed Max Verstappen" Charles mumbled

"Sorry you WHAT?" Pierre wasn't sure if his ears were working properly

"It just sort of happened I don't know wh-" Charles started but was interrupted by the sudden lump in his throat and tears in his eyes

"Charlie it's ok, it's alright I promise"

"Really?" Chalres gave him a half smile

"How stupid do you think I am mate you only spend every podium staring at him " Pierre laughed

"Oh" was all Chalres could manage
Out of everything that really wasn't what he had expected.

"Charlie you know I'll always be friends with you no matter what, so was that it ?"

Was that it Chalres thought, yea Pierre that was nothing obviously

"Well um no , I love him and I think he does to but we can't" Chalres sighed

"What why ?"
"The teams, the media you know "
"Fuck " Pierre silently said that's what his thoughts had immediately gone to and he really couldn't think of anything else to say

They both had agreed that no matter how hard it was probably best for Charles not to let this go any further and get properly serious

Both men had shared a tearful hug and Chalres had gone to the restaurant and met Max and told him the news.

*Monaco*
So that had basically been Chalres week, most days since Abu Dhabi had followed the same strict routine. Wake up, cry, eat and go for a run, shower and cry about Max. Watch a movie and go to sleep

He knew he couldn't do this anymore even if the sensible decision was to let time heal it so in an impulsive moment he picked up his phone, unblocked Max and sent him a simple text

"Can we meet up. Please"

*Maxs apartment*

Max hadn't been in a great state , but even though he was more emotional and sensitive than he let show, in situations like this he was able to still keep his brain in what he liked to call "race mode" where he was able to keep focus and push bad thoughts out of his mind.

The first 2 days had hurt a lot but after that Max did what he did best, distract himself. Weather that consisted of destroying his body in the gym , running or just playing for hours on his sim rig it didn't really matter as long as he could distract himself. Kelly and P would be back from their trip to Brazil soon, that would also help. Kelly had helped him  in the past with these things and of course P didn't understand but he still loved her as if he was her father.

His phone vibrated and Max picked it up

He saw the names Chalres come up and his hands started to shake

"Can we meet up. Please"
Max could have screamed in happiness well actually he did which earned him a strange look from his cats. "Oh shit I never replied " he didn't want Chalres getting the wrong idea

"Always Chalres " Max replied
