Max Verstappen & Charles Leclerc | post-qualifying press conference | 2022 Dutch Grand Prix

Rating: T

Pairing: Charles Leclerc/Max Verstappen

Word Count: 8.5k

Tags: Fluff, Getting Together, Summer Vacation, Ibiza, Beach Volleyball, Sexual Confusion, basically charles being stupid and max being stupidly obvious, also they are VERY competitive, joris and lorenzo mentioned for like 0.2 seconds, basically how i would homoerotically seduce my coworker/emotional support rival, if we both happened to be in ibiza at the same time

Summary:

Summer break in Ibiza gets a whole lot more interesting when Charles and Max find themselves staying at the same resort.

Or

“‘Charles! Charles!’ A distinctly familiar raspy voice shouted.

Charles closed his eyes and sent up a short prayer to God asking him what he had done to deserve this. Then, he opened his eyes, pasted a smile on his face, and turned to face his dreaded uninvited guest.

However, when he turned, he damn near fell out of his chair in shock. In fact, he spilled his coffee all over himself when his hand spasmed out of control.”

BUT ‘lestappen’ ALSO got #14 on that week’s official Tumblr fandom ships ranking which almost beat the ungodly homophobic lgbt children from stranger things and is still the best result any f1lbr ship has ever gotten on this site period (hello)
