It was supposed to be simple. A fake relationship, a bit of public hand-holding, and a few well-timed smiles for the camera. Nothing they couldn't handle. They're both used to pressure, just usually the kind that comes with an engine. But between media appearances, private jokes, and the occasional almost-too-convincing moment, the lines start to blur. And suddenly, what started as a carefully constructed lie doesn't feel so fake anymore.

This is the story of what would've, could've, should've been. In another universe. The story of two boys linked by something they simply can't ignore anymore.

One team. Two formula one drivers. And one goal : winning the world constructor's championship. Well, if only it was that easy. Max and Charles have known each other for what feels like forever. And their relationship has been nothing but tense. Fortunately, they managed to make it work once they both joined the formula 1 world. Avoiding or simply tolerating the other's presence throughout the years. That's what they thought at least...right until the moment they become teammates. And everything changes.
