Yours and Charles' relationship was no news to the media. He openly liked to call you his girlfriend and wanted to show everyone just how much he loved you. He mentions you in every pre- and post-race interview even if the questions have no relation to you whatsoever.

You spend half of your time travelling around the world with Charles to watch him drive almost every free weekend you have to support him to a point where you've been asked to being interviewed by his side numerous times already. But since you weren't really familiar with the whole press thing you always declined.

Until now.

„I don't think you should keep declining the interview requests, mon amour." You and Charles were currently sitting in your kitchen, having breakfast and you currently shoved a pancake with some Nutella and fruits on it in your mouth.

When you finished swallowing you replied, „I have no clue how to talk to them. What if I say something scandalous? We'll be doomed."

„Darling, you're basically a celebrity now. Everyone starts small and eventually we all grow. Nicolas told me about an interview BuzzFeed want to do with us. A puppy interview. I think you'll love it."

Your eyes glistened when Charles said „puppy". You love puppies and he knew that well, but you wouldn't give in too easily. „I'm scared of the questions they'll ask. What if my mind goes blank?"

Charles rolled his eyes, annoyed of the constant excuses you're trying to find. „Then I'll be there to answer the questions. Give it a try and if you're still alive after we'll do more interviews together. We'll have the greatest time together. The puppies are a bonus, baby."

„Fine," you pouted and sipped on your freshly made orange juice. „Just tell Nicholas to send me like a tutorial or something on how to speak." Charles chuckled to which you replied, „I'm serious, Perceval, if I say something wrong it could cost you your career. I don't want to be responsible for that, yeah?"

You made your way into the studio of BuzzFeed, Charles' hand gripping yours tightly, as you waited patiently for the producers to guide you through the interview.

You entered the room where you would shoot the interview. It was spacious, there were multiple cameras to film multiple perspectives and the crew consisting of about ten people were ready to record. You greeted everyone with a smile whilst you were told to take a seat on the bright pink backdrop.

„It's pretty simple, to be honest, you just quickly introduce yourselves and we let the puppies in. After that we ask questions, you two reply. Any questions?"

You shook your head no. Immediately after that you heard Charles whisper something in you ear: „Just be yourself. You're amazing, mon bébé." You scrunched your nose cheekily as you smiled lovingly at him. Just then you heard the director shout action.

Charles took the lead. „Hello, everybody, it's Charles Leclerc..."

„And Y/N Y/L/N," you said, waving towards the camera with an excited smile.

„And we're here today with BuzzFeed to answer questions with puppies."

Just then, the owner freed the dogs and the stomped over to you, wiggling their tails. It was a total of five puppies, but one stood out to you the most. It was a small Golden Retriever with a few isolated light brown spots around its left eye.

„Aww, look at this one, Charles," you smiled as you picked the puppy up, only for it to start licking your face. „You're so sweet."

„My girlfriend loves dogs," Charles explained to the camera, watching while you were ruffling your hands through the dog's fluffy fur.

„Starting with the first question," the director warned. „Who is your inspiration?"

You let Charles take the lead once again, since you wanted to get familiar with the atmosphere first. „I think for me... Jules. Yeah definitely. He inspired me in a lot of ways, not only with Formula 1 but also in my private life. And he'll always be there somewhere, somehow." Charles trailed off, smiling to himself, a little black terrier sitting in his lap, chewing on a toy. „What about you, love?"

„You."

„Me?"

„Yeah, I love the way you're so passionate about the things you love. It's like you're destined to do the things you do, y'know? And that really amazes me. I think you don't know just how many people you've helped. Even if it was just indirectly. I mean ever since we're together I feel happier. And sometimes I really envy you for the way you are."

It was silent for a bit, no one said a word. You swore you heard a needle fall onto the ground, that's how quiet it was and it seemed to hold on for hours. You weren't sure whether you said too much or needed to add something else, so you looked perplexed at Charles who was at the verge of crying a river. A few crew members „aww"-ed silently at your sweet choice of words.

To hide his teary eyes, Charles joked, „Did you really have to be that honest?"

You placed a kiss on a puppy's head and laughed at Charles' attempt to hide his true feelings. „Should I have lied? You are my inspiration, baby. Okay, now can we adopt one of these cuties? Or are they already owned?"




It took me a while to write this imagine cause I didn't really know what exactly to write but I knew that I wanted to do something with an interview and I kinda think this is so sweet and it's longer than I wanted it to be :)
