Summary
It wasn’t supposed to happen like this.
It was supposed to be planned around his schedule- aligned with winter break, maybe. Or even after he’d retired. He should’ve been with his partner, whoever they were; he’d never dared hope it would be Max. He should’ve been wrapped in their embrace, murmuring hushed words of excitement to one another as they waited for the minutes to pass and a result to show on the test.
They should’ve found out together. Ready. Eager. Full of love.
Instead it was like this: alone, curled on a cold bathroom floor, a painfully impersonal PDF staring at Charles from his phone. The only positivity to be found in the situation was sitting in the results column of the file, neatly slotted next to the word pregnancy.
The email. The result. The loneliness. It was all too much. Charles began to cry once again.
At the top of his screen, a response popped up with impeccable timing.
i told you not to text me.
Alternatively:
Charles is in love with Max. Max is in love with Charles. It really is that complicated, and then it gets worse.
Meanwhile, Lando just wants Oscar to kiss him, and he's not quite sure how to make that happen. -

Summary
It's Seb's first time having a female teammate.
It shouldn't matter, just like it shouldn't matter that she's a woman herself. But it does, because this is motorsports, and it does, because Seb knows how girls are.
(Alternatively: The worst thing Seb could possibly be is a woman, and nobody will ever let her forget it.
Especially not Sebastian Vettel herself.)

Summary
Rupert frowns at him, calculating, considering. “I’ll make you a deal, we can set up an IV here and we will sit and we will talk until the treatment is done. Or you can go to the medical delegate and let them decide what needs to be done.”
Max hesitates. He doesn’t know how sick he looks to someone who doesn’t know him. He’s not bad enough that they would be issued a race ban, right? But he also does not want to draw the FIA’s attention to his weight.
“Fine.”

Summary
“I know who you think of when you look at me.”
Daniel pauses, in shock at the quiet words spoken in an even quieter room. He’s only pulling his underwear up his legs after a shower, Charles is still stark naked in bed with his knees drawn up. He’s looking out the window at the night sky, arms wrapped around his legs in a vulnerable way.
“But sometimes I wish you didn’t,” Charles admits, his voice cracking. “I wish you could look at me and see something other than a second chance. I wish you could see me for who I am.”
“Charles,” Daniel says, walking over to the bed where Charles’ gaze is still directed to the sky. His body is shaking slightly. Daniel doesn’t know if it’s from tears or the cold chill in the room. “I see you. I do.”
“You don’t,” he says firmly.

Charles just wants someone to look at him and see only him for once.
