"I will never yield to you," Charles said before Max smashed his lips against his own. He let out a surprised grunt as his hands gripped the Dutchman's hair tightly before reciprocating the kiss. When Charles joined Ferrari, he had only one clear goal in mind. He would do everything in his power to get ahead of Max Verstappen. What he hadn't expected was that his world would start turning upside down the closer he got to the Dutchman. Which was way closer than he ever thought he would get. ****** "Then choose to act differently," Charles said softly as he rubbed his thumb over the side of Max's knee. Max nodded slowly as he turned his head to look at the Monegasque. "What do I need to do?" Max asked, tone of voice hopeful. Max hadn't expected that Charles, who had once been his rival, would be able to change everything he knew about their friendship in a matter of weeks. Soon, Max found himself questioning everything he'd ever known. Not only about their bond, but also about himself.

This story is a fanfic of Charles Leclerc x Max Verstappen (Lestappen). DISCLAIMER: I don't OWN the characters, and the events of the story are not real; this is all made up. PLEASE separate this story from the drivers in real life. TRIGGER WARNING: There is mention of suicide, self-harm, and death.

It's two minutes past midnight. Max is the head chef of the restaurant downstairs; Charles is the playboy neighbor upstairs who brings a different woman home every night. ​It's a routine they know by heart: the date fails, the woman leaves, and Charles stumbles down to Max's kitchen, hungry for pasta and comfort. To Charles, Max is just the grumpy best friend who fixes his mess. To Max, Charles is a beautiful, oblivious chaos. ​Max plays his part perfectly: he cooks, he listens, and he swallows his jealousy. ​Max can make breakfast exactly how Charles likes it, but he can't make Charles love him back

Two rival surgeons turn their battle for the chief's chair into a forbidden game that shatters hospital protocols. When logic and chaos collide in the sterile corridors, for Max and Charles the only thing that must survive is not just their patients, but their careers as well.

"What are you doing?" Pierre asked in English, finally snapping Charles out of whatever haze he was stuck in. "Hm? Listening to you?" Charles looked up to meet his best friend's eyes and immediately heard the thought that followed. *You were very clearly ogling Max just now.* Charles's eyes widened. "I did not!" he said, voice cracking as his ears turned red. Pierre only grinned wider. *Oh calamar, you think I haven't noticed you staring at him since you got the superpowers.* Or the one where Charles can read minds, and Max's thoughts ruin everything (or fix everything).

I never imagined that love could feel so forbidden and yet so right. As Crown Prince of Monaco, Charles led a life full of duty and tradition. But when he meets Max, he suddenly goes off the rails and questions everything he ever knew about love and royal expectations. Can he dare to follow his heart, even if it means breaking the rules? In the fast-paced world of Formula 1, Max has always focused on racing and avoided the limelight of fame and media. But when he meets Charles, everything changes. Known for his confidence and rule-breaking attitude, he is fascinated by the prince's calm demeanor. Suddenly he is curious about a world beyond the racetrack.

so basically just go look at the song "girl, so confusing" by charli xcx and that is what this is based off of!~☆♡☆

We all know what it is to be alive, breath in and out as your heart beats. But what is it to live? What is it to have no regrets when you stop being alive? This is an AU where Max is a baker and Charles is a florist and . . . yeah, I'm really bad with descriptions
