lestappen (charles leclerc x max verstappen)

day one (charles)

today was, lets call is phase one of making max forgive me fully. i put it into action on friday night, when i had apologised too him. we had the last race of the season approaching quickly, and normally during this period you become very busy with your team, strategising, tweaking the car, anything you could think of, it was likely being done, especially when one race determines a possible champion ship, which at the moment, was extremely close in points. 

today was the first part of my mission, i had once again set up a small little date between the two of us, in my home, late at night. and if he really wanted too he could stay the night, he didnt know that part yet but he'd  find out rather soon. 

the past couple of weeks i had been contemplating telling one of our trusted friends, of course i would ask him first. but i know he would be reluctant, even though its been almost 7 months, maybe we could make an agreement, wed tell people if and when we got married, or when we retire, so it wouldnt ruin our careers and all that. 

although, maybe this was good, i didnt like being out all that much anymore, if it meant i wasnt with him. tonight however, was something i hoped was something rather meaningful, and something of extreme importance to the next few chapters of our lives together. i would be lying if i said i hadnt thought about our future together, what it would be like, what we would do together, after we retire, everything. i thought about it all while i was cleaning my place up. but now wasnt about that, it was about how much i wanted things to be good between us, of course i dont expect him to just forgive and forget this, but i can only hope that this makes him feel the love that i have for him, all of it. 

he arrived a few hours later, and it almost felt as if he had forgotten about everything that happened just one week ago. not that i was complaining about it or anything like that, i just thought that it was odd that he had forgotten about it, or was acting like he had. i still had the question i wanted to ask him, running in my mind, it was a rather serious question, one that would determine the course of our relationship massively. as he layed there, on my chest, just so peacefully, i decided to ask him. 

"hey max.." maybe i shouldnt have said it like that, he probably thinks theres something wrong again.

"yeah, whats wrong?"

"nothings wrong love, i just had a question for you"

"oh yeah, what is it?"

"what do you think about marriage?"

"i think that marriage is a good thing, id like to be married one day, marriage is the type of thing that it has to be the right person, right time, all of that. if its the wrong person many things can go wrong, wrong time can cause the same issues, so yeah. thats just my thoughts."

"yeah, your right, you said that really well, almost like youd been married before" i chuckle and kiss the top of his head gently. he didnt reply to that, just chuckled sightly and nuzzled up to me even more. but knowing this, made my plan become even better, i knew he wanted to be married, over the course of the months i would slowly find out more and more about how he'd like to be proposed to, when, who, all of that, the ideal dating time before engagement. i was about to be more dedicated to a relationship than i ever would be.

the rest of the night was relatively peaceful, we did end up moving from my couch to my bedroom, due to how much warmer it was in there. again we layed in silence, max didnt seem to be in much of a talking mood today, which was fine by me, even if we sat in silence and layed with each other id be happy. but for now, i had plans, massive plans to make, i didnt now how far in advance theyd have to be, but that all depends on the information i gather from him. ew i sound like a stalker but, yeah you get the point.
