Summary
It’s the fall of 2012. Max Verstappen is 15 years old, and Jos Verstappen decides to move them both to Monaco to focus more on Max’s racing career. There, Max crosses paths with none other than his longtime racing rival and archenemy: Charles Leclerc. Though they initially clash, they end up realizing that they have more in common than not, and a tentative friendship soon blossoms between them. But as Max grows ever closer to the Leclercs, he realizes many things, upending everything he thought he knew about himself and his life.
Or: basically an AU exploring what would have happened if Jos Verstappen had decided to move himself and Max to Monaco in 2012. Could Max and Charles have ended up becoming friends? Perhaps even more? Could Max finally realize he's been growing up under the abusive fist of his father, and maybe even spring free?- Language:

“Ow, what the fuck!” Charles exclaimed, his hands flying to the back of his head as he lay on the floor
“Oh shit, mate, I’m so sorry,” called an unknown voice at his feet. Sitting up, Charles rubbed the back of his head in confusion, finally looking up to put a face to the unknown figure that had just barged through the door.
“Hey, you’re Max-” Charles couldn’t finish, Max’s hand clasping over his mouth as he shushed him quietly.
“Yeah, and I’ll give you front row tickets to my next show if you do not scream my name.”
“I don’t even want to see your stupid concert,” muttered Charles, holding his forehead where the metal door had made contact with his face. “Ow”.
“Oh, we most definitely need to get you to the hospital,

Summary
“Wait,” Lando said, voice high pitched, “you guys really think Max and Charles are into each other? For real?”
“All the evidence points to that,” replied Alex, sighing, all analytical and a tad regretful, as if it was a shameful fact, unavoidable.
“And you think they might be already sleeping together?”
“No, not yet,” Daniel admitted, “they are just friends for now, and Charles is simply clingy with Max, who is a big softie with Charlie, God knows why… But… I think they want to.”
or: 5 times Max and Charles acted weirdly couple-y (+ one time they noticed)

Summary
“What are you doing?” Charles asked, his voice cracking.
Max blinked at him once before he smirked and said, “Well... I was going to kiss you.”
“Why?”
“Because I want to.”

Summary
“Lewis’s spell was a mistake, I’m sure.” Charles told Jimmy. “Your dad couldn’t be in love with me, right?”
It was like Jimmy could sense what was going on; he paused his paw licking and looked right back at him.
“Right, buddy?” Charles urged him.
Jimmy shot him a look that said, ‘What do you think?’ before going back to aggressively licking his paw.
He pouted at him.
