    Summary

    “You believe in god?”

    Charles snorts and clasps his hands in prayer. “I race for an Italian team. Of course I believe in God, Max.”

    “No higher power.”

    “I did not say none. Just that we do for ourselves enough, and the rest is not ours to control.”

    Max leans in. So close Charles can count the freckles on his brow, the minor constellation at the left side of his face.

    “And this. This is in your control?” Max asks, softer. Surprisingly smooth.

    ---

    Or, Charles is afraid of lightning. He looks for ice in the middle of the night, and finds Max (and maybe some existential answers) instead.

    Summary

    Alex leans forward suddenly. “You guys really don’t remember?”

    Charles steals his watermelon juice, takes a sip and subsequently drops his head into his hands, the heel of his palm digging into his eyes.

    “Remember what?” He asks, wondering if he really wants to know.

    “You guys got married last night.”


    Charles almost cracks a smile. “Are you ashamed of it?”

    “Of what?”

    “This,” Charles gestures between himself and Max vaguely, but for a split second, even he doesn’t know what he means. There is no this, there is no them. “Our marriage.”


    Or, Max and Charles learn to fall in love in reverse.

    Summary

    “You think you are so much better –“

    “I know I am,” Max cut him off again. “But that doesn’t mean that I can’t be beat.”

    “You want me to beat you?”

    “I want you to fucking try,” Max said, and over the phone, Charles could hear his cocky little grin. Charles found himself grinning back.

    In this one, Charles wakes up in Max's bed - neither of them can remember the night before, though. Then, a video of them surfaces.

    Summary

    “You know… Those posters for missing cats and dogs always include some sort of reward.”

    “Are you asking me for money?” Charles asks, sounding utterly bewildered.

    Max cackles loudly, and it comes out a little hysterical. “No, Charles. I meant—”

    “Ah,” Charles says, and then, without any hesitation, drops to his knees between Max’s legs, hands reaching for his belt.

    or; a fat tabby cat, a presumptuous bottom, a ski trip, and an endeared max verstappen.
