    Summary

    Max and Charles are caught in a quiet, aching affair—both tethered to other people, yet unable to stay away from each other. It begins with longing, slips into touches, kisses, hotel rooms, and unspoken confessions.

    And slowly, painfully, the line between cheating and love begins to blur.

    But, in Abu Dhabi Max’s carefully constructed life collapses. His relationship erupts into violence.

    Summary

    Daniel had always cared. Daniel had always supported Max. But Daniel couldn’t really understand Max. Not at all.

    As if sensing Max’s slight distress, he brought his left hand to his lips, trailing soft kisses on the back of Max’s palm, internally calming Max down.

    “One day, a few years from now, living with a dreamy husband in a big villa near Jardin Exotique, you’ll look back and you’ll realise that this was just a part of your journey. Amazing freaky sex will be served to you daily, and you won’t even remember to think about him. Trust me.” Daniel let go of Max’s hand, repositioning his own to the nape of Max’s neck to caress the hair there soothingly.

    That would be the ideal outcome.
    With him. Because he already had a villa in Jardin Exotique. With his fiancée and silly stinky dog.
    Not that Max stalked him or anything. He just…heard it once. Somewhere.

     

    OR: The man Max is so hopelessly in love with is engaged to someone else. Supposed to be getting married very soon. Except that after a single dinner together, Charles no longer cares for anyone but Max.

    Summary

    This fic is Set in 2030

    Max Verstappen never expected to spend retirement surrounded by glitter glue, pancake disasters, and a five-year-old who thinks "overtaking" applies to bedtime. But here he is an eight-time world champion turned grumpy dad haunting the karting tracks of his youth, wearing a hoodie of nostalgia. He's not here for closure. He's here because his daughter likes speed and because standing on the trackside hurts a little less than staying home alone with his regrets.

    Charles Leclerc didn't dream of coaching kindergarteners but a crash stole his career, and this karting track the fumes, the flags, the occasional crying parent is all he's got left. He smiles like it doesn't ache and teaches like he doesn't miss the rush. It's not the future he imagined, but it's something.

    They weren't best friends. Rivals? Sure. Occasional podium eye contact? Absolutely. But nothing ever happened at least, not when it mattered. Now they're thirty-three, washed in nostalgia and worn down by everything unsaid.

    Maybe love doesn't roar at 200mph.
    Maybe, this time, it tiptoes in through the kitchen door.
