summary: in a world filled with men, thereโs lorenzo berkshire, a sweetheart and gentleman
Lorenzo Berkshire was a sweetheart.
Everybody knew that the down to earth Slytherin couldnโt hurt a fly even if he wanted to, and weirdly did not fit the stereotypical mean Slytherin persona despite hanging with Draco and his friends.
In fact, a lot of things that Lorenzo did were out of the ordinary for his crowd of people. Whenever Draco would pull a first year by their backpacks so their bodies would fling back, Lorenzo always muttered an apology after, offering the first year a cookie the next day. It was just who he was; he was a sweet boy, and that often meant he was also very clueless.
Sure, he was smart in his classes, but in everything else? Lorenzo was practically the virgin of all virgins.
โHer eyes are up here Enzo,โ Pansy teased, watching as Lorenzoโs eyes finally shifted off your chest to look at Pansy in the eyes.
โHuh?โ
โWell I know theyโre nice,โ you tease further, โbut itโs rude to stare, yโknow.โ
โOh,โ Lorenzoโs eyebrows furrow, clearly confused. Heโs either great at playing the dumb role or he genuinely has no idea what you and Pansy are inciting.
โWhat do you mean?โ Lorenzo then moves his hand over to touch the gold colored necklace on your neck. โI was just looking at the new necklace you got. Itโs nice.โ
Oh. You didnโt think anyone would notice your new necklace. You bought it over the holidays when you went back home with your family, and had just started wearing it now.
โThanks Enzo,โ you say, placing a kiss on his cheek. He pulls back flustered, but he mutters a youโre welcome under his breath.
โLO BOY!โ Lorenzo is quickly pulled into a headlock by no other than Draco Malfoy, who seems to find his friend struggling hilariously funny. โOh whatโs wrong Lo? Got your head in a knot?โ
โBoys.โ You and Pansy mutter, rolling your eyes as you both get up from your seats, heading to the much more quiet Great Hall.
- - -
The next time you see Lorenzo is in your Potions class. Heโs on the left of you, and youโre almost falling asleep at the boring lecture of your professor. He always seem to talk more than actually teach how to mix potions.
โPssst,โ Lorenzo mutters to your partner as he hands her a slip of paper. โBe a peach and pass it to Y/N?โ
Your partner, who has developed a little crush on Lorenzo only blushes, accepting the piece of paper and tapping you on the shoulder.
โHere,โ she says, โitโs from Lorenzo.โ
Your eyebrows quirk up, slowly unfolding the crinkled paper.
Your hair is pretty today
You bite your lip, trying to suppress a smile. Lorenzo just knew how to swoon a girl over, didnโt he? He doesnโt even have to try and your knees would still feel weak.
So my hair isnโt pretty on other days?
You scribble down, passing it back to your partner who passes it to Lorenzo.
His eyes grow wide when he reads it, opting to shake his head quickly.
โNot what I meant,โ Lorenzo mouths.
โI know,โ you mouth back, giving him a smirk. โThank you Enzo.โ
And you both end up more pink than the potions that were made in class that day.
- - -
โWhat do you even do in your free time?โ Theodore asks, poking Lorenzoโs cheek repeatedly to annoy him. โLike read?โ
โLike read?โ Lorenzo mimics back. โYes, I read. You should too Teddy, itโd be good for you.โ
Theodore rolls his eyes, โI donโt need to read. And donโt call me Teddy.โ
When you arrive in the dining hall, Theodore and Lorenzo already make a space for you to sit in between them. Usually, Pansy and Draco would be sitting across from the three of you, but today, they were off doing Godric knows what.
โPans and Draco not here today?โ Lorenzo asks, still focusing on the assignment he was finishing up before dinner ends.
โNope,โ you say, popping the p. โNo idea what theyโre doing.โ
โOh,โ Theodore chuckles, โI have a few ideas.โ
That makes the two of you burst out laughing, and Lorenzo finally looks up from his paper.
โWhat?โ He asks. โWhatโs so funny?โ
โOh Enzo,โ Theodore places a hand on his friendโs back, โnever change.โ
Lorenzo rolls his eyes, shrugging Theodoreโs hand off. โWhatever that means.โ
When Theodore finally heads off to the Slytherin common room, you and Lorenzo are left alone, the small conversations of the other students surrounds the two of you.
โWorking hard on that assignment,โ you say quietly to Lorenzo, bringing up your hand to pull a few strings of hair that were poking his eyes.
โWell someoneโs gotta be the smart one in our friend group,โ he says teasingly.
โOh, so youโre saying Iโm not smart?โ Your hands start to wander, coming to each of Lorenzoโs sides to tickle him. He was especially ticklish around his abdomen.
โH-hey! Stop that!โ He laughs, pushing your hands away. โOkay okay, weโre both the smart ones.โ
โAnd Pansy,โ you add.
โAnd Pansy.โ
- - -
When you walked out to the lake that sat across from the Slytherin common room, you didnโt expect to find Lorenzo feeding the ducks. He was crouching, softly throwing a few pieces of crushed up bread at the ducks that now surrounded him.
โWhat are you doing Lo?โ You ask, walking beside him.
โNot too loud,โ Lorenzo says, โyouโll scare them away.โ
He continues doing what he does before he runs all out, deciding to finally turn to you and throw an arm around your shoulder. โEvening.โ
โEvening Enzo,โ you say, pressing a kiss to his cheek. It was out of habit, and you did it regularly, but it didnโt stop Lorenzo from blushing every time it happened.
โI was feeding the ducks,โ he explains, although it was pretty clear what he was doing. โI like them, theyโre nice and pretty. Draco sometimes throws rocks at them, so itโs kind of my way of apologizing for him.โ
You ruffle Lorenzoโs hair slightly, giving him a small kiss on the cheek. โOh Enzo, you sweetheart.โ But he doesnโt hear you, instead, choosing to admire the scenery of the lake.
- - -
โYou know whatโd be funny?โ Mattheo says, already laughing before he could get out the rest of his sentence. โIf we pied the girls. Pansy and Y/N.โ
Lorenzoโs ears perk up at this, but he keeps quiet. Why was his friends always looking to get into trouble?
โTheyโd totally kill us,โ Theodore comments.
โThatโs why we have to do it.โ
The boys had already gotten two pies and their plan figured out before Lorenzo could stop them. He watched as they hide it behind their backs, approaching you and Pansy who were both engrossed in your conservation.
โWait,โ Lorenzo mumbles, quickly following his group of friends. When he sees their hand from their back move as they speak to you and Pansy, he steps in front of the two of you, getting hit straight in the face with the two pies.
โHuh..โ Lorenzo says, wiping away the whipped cream that was covering his eyes. โKey lime.โ
โEnzo,โ you say, knowing that this was probably one of Mattheo or Dracoโs dumb ideas again. โYou guys apologize to Lorenzo right now.โ
The three boys sigh defeatedly, muttering a quiet sorry to their brunette friend whoโs still wiping the whipped cream from his face.
โWhyโd you do that Enzo?โ You ask him as the two of you sat down on the grass. Youโd finally got all the whipped cream off his face with a towel, and although Enzo wonโt admit it, he was kind of grateful he did end up getting pied. After all, a pretty girl was cleaning him up after all, and not just any pretty girl, his close friend.
โCause youโre too pretty to get pied.โ He shrugs, which makes you smirk.
โToo pretty?โ
โWell yeah,โ
You laugh at Lorenzoโs honesty, and finally, you lean in to give him a kiss on the lips instead of the side of his cheek.
โDid you just-โ
โShh,โ you say, grabbing ahold of his hand. โJust let me appreciate you right now. In a world full of just men, youโre a gentleman Enzo.โ
And Lorenzo only smiles, knowing heโs finally got the girl of his dreams.

@123letsgobestie @hathorneheiress @midiosaamor
avery isn't (usually) the jealous type but jameson definitely is so anytime any guy she doesn't know talks to her he makes sure that he's always there just in case
not in a political way (it's definitely political) but they watched the election results together and raged the whole time
we all know that jameson's love language is touch but it also means that he does NOT care where they are, he's always kissing her and hugging her
he's always also holding her hands and fidgeting with them
they do the wordle together and always guess it together in like 3 tries because they have ultimate smarts when they're together
he thinks that she's the prettiest cutest person ever so he's always taking candid photos of her just reading or doing random stuff because he thinks she just looks so pretty
on the opposite side of things she's also always telling him how pretty she thinks he is
speaking of the photos, he's her personal photographer and takes all of the GOOD photos of her too
they're super good at getting gifts for each other so they're always trying to "out-gift" each other for their birthdays or the holidays
she always plays with his hair or gives him head scratches while he's falling asleep on her
he insists on always tying her shoes for her
this has been said so many times but avery has a bunch of nervous habits like tugging at her hair, picking at her nails or her lips so even if they're arguing he'll grab her hands just so she won't
when they start sleeping in his room he lets her add her own touch to his room and changing it to how she likes it
one of her favorite quality's about him is his smile and his laugh
one of their favorite things to go into those photo booths that you see in the mall so every time they see one they have to do it until they have a collection of them
he always watches her while she gets ready
he likes surprising her with vip concert tickets for all of her favorite artists
he's always getting himself hurt, not particularly big injuries but things like cuts and bruises and occasionally more but avery HATES it
jameson thinks it's adorable whenever they get invited to movie premiers and events and avery gets excited seeing all of the important people that she's "seen on tv" even though she's on tv all of the time
he watches all of her interviews and gets happy whenever she talks about him or there's a question about him
warnings: none pairings: husband! percy jackson x wife! reader a/n: prue writes an irrelevant blurb instead of finishing the 20 sitting in her drafts? yep sounds like her! ๐
noโฆ yesโฆ noโฆ yesโฆ no
no. it wasnโt fair that just because percy couldnโt sleep that means that you shouldnโt be able to sleep either. though, you were his wife, you should share struggles with him. but he was utterly bored. but you looked so peaceful. your lips slightly parted, breathing in and out slowly, your features delicate as you softly slept, your hair disoriented yet you still managed to look like a goddess. percy switched his position to be laying on his side, turning his full attention to your sleeping self. maybe he should just wake youโฆ
no! he stops those thoughts quickly. but you always said if he couldnโt sleep to feel free to wake you up, but then in the morning you would be tired and he would feel guilty. this is surely a conundrum heโs in. he sighs and watches, hoping just his gaze will be enough to wake you from your slumber (itโs not). okay, next attempt. firstly, he pecks your nose, trailing to each of your pink cheeks, to your forehead and back to your nose once more. you still lay sleeping
itโs fine, he totally didnโt want to wake you anyways
but he so wants you to!! maybe if he uses his telepathic-married couple senses youโll open your eyes. he closes his own tightly and wishes for you to wake up on your own will. he doesnโt open them until he feels you begin to stir, then his eyes widen and meet yoursโ fluttering open slowly. in a golden retriever like manner he squeals like a child and wraps you up in his arms tightly, three quarters asleep, you let him do so
โwhatโre you doing?โ you murmur quietly
โI couldnโt sleep, I think Iโve been up for an hour now? Iโve been waiting for you to wake up, I used my telepathic powers and you woke up! isnโt that great?โ
โโฆ yeahโ youโre too sleepy to care or respond properly. percy canโt find it in himself to care about your lack of response, he was just happy you had woke
โare you going back to sleep?โ
you shake your head. โyou woke me up, idiotโ
โsorry about thatโ he laughs (heโs so not!!)
you sit up, now wide awake thanks to your husband. โnow what were you saying about telepathy?โ

summary: in which you're a flustered mess around theo nott and he absolutely adores it.
warnings: none!
a/n: *screams* i just combust every time i write for theo but this piece especially has me just screaming at the cuteness!!!
Everyone who went to Hogwarts knew who Theodore Nott was. It wasnโt hard to miss the dark chestnut hair that would fall in his eyes and the charming smirk that he always wore. Theodore Nott was gorgeous and he knew it. His popularity often led to him being the topic of most conversations and a receiver of many love confessions. Girls would flock to him and try their best to twirl their hair and flirt with the Slytherin but all they were met with was indifference.ย
Theodore Nott would tune out their obnoxious laughter and shrill squeals. He would stare blankly at them, reject their advances without a care in the world. Word got around that the infamous Theodore Nott was seemingly unreachable. His unattainability only made him that much more interesting to everyone else.
You were blessed, as some would say, to sit next to Theo during Charms. Flitwick had randomly assigned the seating at the start of the year and you got stuck with Theodore Nott. He wasnโt bad at the subject by any means it just got a bit overwhelming with all the stares and whispers that were directed at your partner. You werenโt one for attention or drama, always preferring to hide in the shadows and not be seen. Sitting next to Theo didnโt exactly grant you that freedom.
Theodore Nott was handsome. So so so handsome. You couldnโt deny your attraction and as much as you tried to push it down you often found yourself staring. The slope of his nose and the angled jaw. His eyes that pulled your attention away from anything else. You would watch as he scrawled his notes onto the parchment. His quill would glide effortlessly without hesitation and you often would forget to take your own notes. You couldnโt help but feel your heart pound whenever he spoke to you or whenever he would offer you even the tiniest smile.
โHey Y/n you free after dinner tonight?โ
The boy beside you drawled with his chin in his hands. He looked at you expectedly and you blinked at him confused.ย
โSorry?โ
โWere you not listening? We have an assignment together, I was asking if you were free so we could get started.โ He smirked as if he knew you had been watching him all this time. You felt your cheeks heat up and you spluttered for words. Theo chuckled as he shoved his things into his bag, still waiting for your answer.
โYeah Iโm free tonight.โ You mumbled, refusing to look at him. You felt your heart race and you gulped. โWait where are we meeting up?โย
It was then that you realised looking up was a huge mistake because Theoโs face is mere inches away from yours and you felt yourself flush scarlet at the proximity. You blink like a deer caught in headlights trying to calm your own rapidly beating heart. Theo grinned. He tilted his head to the side as if he wasnโt doing anything wrong. Words died on your tongue and your eyes locked with his and you felt butterflies erupt in your stomach.ย
It was all too much. Way too much.
You cleared your throat, backing away in your seat as far as you could. Theo bit back another smile as he finally leaned back into his seat again. You felt lightheaded from what had just happened and you looked over at the Slytherin only to find him already staring at you causing your eyes to bulge out of their sockets and for you to turn away quickly.
โW-Where did you say?โ
โThe library of course, Iโd bring you to my dorm but donโt you think itโs a bit too soon for that principessa?โ
Even if you couldnโt see Theo Nott you definitely could imagine his trademark smirk that would spread across his face whenever he was feeling smug with himself. His words registered in your mind finally and you let out a squeak at the implication before quickly throwing your stuff in your bag and saying a goodbye.
You darted down the hallway, desperate to get away from your seatmate and to your dorm. Theodore Nott had always been like this with you. All smiles and suggestive comments. Your heart couldnโt take his charming grin and angelic laugh. Ever since you had quietly greeted him back in September he had stuck by you and you really didnโt know why. You werenโt popular by any means and you had no pureblood connection that would be of any use so you werenโt sure why Theodore Nott had taken such an interest in you.
His words filled your head once more and you felt your whole body heat up at the memory. You flopped down onto your bed, groaning into the pillow as you tried your hardest to calm yourself down. You just knew tonight was going to be so much worse.
//
โ-and I was thinking that we could also talk about non verbal spells since- are you listening to me Y/n?โ
You snapped out of your thoughts only to see Theoโs brows furrowed and his lips pulled into a frown. The library was fairly quiet and the two of you had picked a secluded corner to ensure no one would disturb the two of you. Your eyes drifted to the textbook in front of the two of you and you blinked blankly towards your partner.
โSorry I wasnโt paying attention, what were you saying about non verbal spells?โย
Theo smiled and you felt your heart flutter at the sight. His eyes seemed to twinkle more in the warm lighting and you told yourself that you needed to stop having these ridiculous thoughts. Everyone knew that Theodore Nott had no interest in dating anyone much less you.
โYou seem to be daydreaming a lot today Y/n, Iโm honestly hurt that you havenโt been paying attention to what Iโve been saying.โ Theo pouted but you could see the mirth that spread across his face. He leaned towards you and your eyes widened. โWhatโs got you so distracted today hm?โ
He was so close to you. Too close even. You could smell the familiar citrusy scent that he always wore. It felt warm, you didnโt know if that was possible, but he smelt like what you imagined home would be. The slightly sweet but earthy scent invaded your senses and you felt your brain melt.
Your eyes search his face. The sharp cheekbones and jawline contrasted with the smooth curve of his lips. His dark tousled hair that you couldnโt help but imagine running your fingers through his curls. His long eyelashes framed his beautiful grey eyes. The soft glow of the lamp highlights his complexion and you continue to stare, completely mesmerised.
โNothingโฆI just have a lot on my mind.โ You replied awkwardly, hoping that he didnโt sense that you were lying.
โHmmโฆwell Iโm always here to talk.โ Theo folded his arms as he leant onto the wooden desk in front of the both of you. He buried his head into his arms before turning to the side to look at you, a cheeky grin spreading across his face. โBut I guess weโd just be talking about me, wouldnโt we?โ
Immediately you burst into flames and you tried to stutter out an excuse. You knew he had noticed your staring. There were only so many times you could get away with not paying attention in class. Then again, it was still mortifying to get caught.
A group of girls decided that that was the perfect time to walk past the two of you and you froze as they saw you and Theo together. They looked at you and then the Slytherin beside you. Your jaw hung open, gaping like a fish, unable to comprehend the multitude of events that were thrown at you. The girls mirrored your expression before scurrying off whispering loudly.
โAre they dating?โ
โNo way I didnโt actually think he was capable of liking someone.โ
โWho is she anyway? Iโve never seen her around.โ
You felt your heart race and you deflated in your chair, head in your hands. This was not meant to happen. You felt a tap on your shoulder and you looked up to see Theo. His smile wasnโt on his face anymore, now replaced with a worried look.
โAre you okay?โ
โWhat? Of course not!โ You cried out softly. โEveryoneโs going to think Iโm your girlfriend and itโs going to spread across the whole of Hogwarts by tomorrow morning. And andโฆโ You groaned, putting your head back into your hands, too overwhelmed by everything that was happening.ย
Silence spread across the two of you.
โWould that be so bad?โ Theoโs voice broke the quiet. You looked up, startled by his words. โDating me, that is.โ
โT-Thatโs not what I meant-โ You stammered, scrambling for an apology, but Theo interrupted you.
โI donโt smile and flirt with just anyone you know. Youโre special to me Y/n. I like you, a lot.โย
He was looking at you now, his eyes filled with a warmth you had mistaken for amusement. His gaze was soft and filled with affection, a small smile playing on his lips. Your cheeks heated up at his unexpected confession. Your heart pounded, and you gripped your fingers, searching for the right words to say.
โDo you like me too?โ
Try as you might you couldnโt find any words to express your emotions or your feelings towards Theodore Nott. All you could muster was a nod as an answer to his question. Theo laughed as he reached for your hand, intertwining his fingers with yours. He tugged you closer to him and once again you were face to face with Theodore Nott.
โI want to hear you say it principessa. Tell me how much you fancy me.โย
He was doing it on purpose. He knew exactly what to do and what to say to get you completely flustered and a blushing mess for him. And you would be a fool to say it wasnโt working.
โTheo I...โ You whispered finally finding your own voice. โI really like you Theodore Nott, I really really like you.โ
A bright beam graced Theoโs face and he pressed his forehead against yours, hugging your body close to his. You wrapped your arms around his waist, melting into his touch. Theo pulled back as he placed a kiss on your cheek. You blinked before you felt yourself heat up at his affectionate action. You buried your face in his chest, embarrassed at your flustered state.
โYouโre so adorable.โ Theo chuckled as he embraced you tightly. โI really really like you too Y/n L/n.โ

what about rafe spending the night at shy!readerโs house for the first time?
buried in a sea of pillows and stuffed animals, rafe lays down and pulls your quilt over his body. you're still in the bathroomโhe can hear running water and the clink of the little bottles you open and close while putting things on your face.
he looks downโthe quilt doesn't even cover his feet. he laughsโa short rush of breath leaving him. he fixes the blanket, not caring if his arms stay cold and wanting to make sure you don't worry about it, which you will if you see.
when you come outโdressed in one of his old shirts that's too big on you, something that always leaves him staring while you question what's wrongโyou look so pretty he thinks it's the first time he's ever seen you all over again.
it's not how you lookโhe's used to the shirt and boxers he can't see, the braided hair and the jewelry you don't take off even for bedโit's the way you look at him.
you don't have to say anything, he already knows what you're thinking. but you do, you say it anyways.
"you okay?" and it's said with such sincerityโso much meaning behind two little words, often repeated to him multiple times a day. you thought he used to get mad when you would ask, but really rafe's just not used to being asked, to someone caring enough to ask again.
"yeah, kid. ready for bed?" you nod, turning just to close the bathroom door and sort the last few thingsโthe clothes you wore to dinner, one of the biggest stuffed animals you took off the bed to make room for rafe, other odds and ends.
he watches you do it, looking at how everything in your cluttered yet neat bedroom has a place and how you remember each one. he's been in your room many times before but this is importantโsleeping over for the first time.
when you finally join him in bed, you discard your slippers right by the bed and push them underneath. rafe looks at you confused for a moment before you answer.
"so you don't trip. when you get up." you get in beside him and suddenly it's rafe who has to conceal burning cheeks, still unsure how he ended up with a girl who could possibly care this much about him.
the two of you end up like always, same as when you're at tannyhillโwith you curled up on his chest and his arm around your shoulders. his hand plays with the ends of your hair and you wrap your hand around the other, holding on tight like rafe might disappear while you sleep.
"you okay?" you ask again after a few moments, said quietly. he can tell you're close to sleep now.
"yeah, kid. m'fine. you okay?" you don't answer, already asleep. he laughs softly to himself again.
"she toes the line between them, he says heโs new at this. thereโs holy ground beneath them and sparks fly when they kiss"

Synopsis: Charles finally breaks the curse of the track that has haunted him his entire life.

a/n: this is probably the fastest i've ever written something, so i'm sorry if it sucks a little lol

There was nothing like racing through the streets you grew up in, Charles would always say to you.
In all the years you had known him and been with him, he had only had one goal: winning the Monaco Grand Prix.ย
You didnโt know why that was, whether it was a tribute to his late father, a tribute to Jules or just the pride of knowing he conquered the streets he had walked his entire life. Maybe it was a combination of all 3.
Charles had not been treated well by his home race the past couple of years. 2 DNFs, 1 DNS and 2 disappointing results had plagued his mind, making the weeks leading up to the race filled with more stress than he should carry.
But you had a good feeling this time. Ever since he got into the car in FP1, then topping the charts all throughout FP2 and FP3, you felt something in your gut change. For once, after so many doubtful years, there was no worry and disappointment in your heart as you waited in the garage for the qualifying session of the weekend. Every negative feeling was replaced with hope, so much hope that you didnโt know what to do with it.
Charles was the complete opposite. While he couldnโt deny that the car had finally come alive and he had the pace he needed, he felt like he couldnโt let himself hope too much, not after everything heโd been through.
โCome on, you know Iโm right. Youโll be on pole and youโll win the raceโ you said to him as you lounged in his driver room, watching him get dressed in his fireproofs and racing suit.
โMon amour, you know how Monaco is. I donโt want to get my hopes up and then be disappointed if I donโt get pole or donโt winโ he reasoned, but deep down he was feeling the exact same thing you were.
โBut this year is going to be different, I know it will!โ you pressed on, making him chuckle in adoration at the hear of your determined voice. โEvery other driver has said the same thing and every presenter from F1 TV is saying youโre definitely going to break the curse tomorrowโย
โHave you been watching F1 TV again to hear what they have to say about me?โ he teased, laughing once he sees the blush creeping on your cheeks.
โThatโs not the point. Iโm telling you, I have a good feeling about tomorrow. But still, no pressure. You go out there, drive safe and come back to me in one piece. If you end up winning, thatโs great, but if you donโt, weโll get them next year. Sounds good?โ you bargained, knowing that he didnโt need any more pressure added on his shoulders than he already had.
He sighed but nodded, pausing his actions to give you a kiss.
โLetโs do it thenโ
And, true to his word, he came back to you, in one piece, starting from pole in the Monaco GP.
โกโกโกโกโก
There was something special in the air as you entered the paddock with Pascale and Arthur, making your way towards the Ferrari hospitality to watch the race. The entire city of Monte Carlo was absolutely buzzing with excitement, the paddock feeling more alive than ever as their home hero prepared to take on the beautiful circuit that was Monaco.
You didnโt see Charles before he got into the car, you didnโt want to cause him any kind of distraction before he started the race, but you couldnโt help sprinting down to the garage during the Red Flag, knowing you had plenty of time before the race would start up again.
Finding him wasnโt hard at all. He was speaking with his mechanics, drinking some water out of his bottle.
You approached him hurriedly, at which he excused himself from the conversation once he saw you approaching him.
โMon amour, is everything okay? Youโre supposed to be with maman, Arthur and Joris up in the hospitalityโ he said, worry etched on his face.
โEverything is fine, donโt worry. I just came down here to wish you good luck, you know, once FIA decides to restart the raceโ you joked, hoping to make his spirits lift up a little.
He chuckled, but the smile didnโt quite reach his eyes. You could see the stress sitting behind the facade, the worry and pressure tensing up his muscles and demeanor.
Noticing you studying his face and realizing you knew how stressed he was, he smiled and wrapped an arm around your waist.
โYou know weโre proud of you no matter what, right?โ you whispered, thankful for the loud sounds of mechanics working left and right that helped drown out your conversation to other people around you.
He sighed, but nodded. โI know, but I just canโt shake the stress. Iโve been quick all weekend and everyone knows that. What if something happens and my race goes to shit like every time? I donโt think Iโll be ready to cope with another disappointment from my home trackโ he confessed, which made your heart squeeze.
His entire life, the only thing that he wanted was to win in Monaco, but the track has always failed him. And for once, he felt like he could finally break the curse that has been following him around for years, yet he still worried that something would completely ruin his race.
โBaby, nobody will think less of you if you donโt win today. Racing is so unpredictable, you put your life in danger every time you get in the car and people know that. Weโll be proud of you no matter the outcome todayโ you said, holding his face in your hands to make sure he understood you.
He bit the inside of his cheek but nodded, knowing you were right.ย
โI love youโ he murmured, pressing his lips against yours in a passionate kiss.
โI love you too. Be safe out there and show everyone what youโre made ofโ you said once you pulled away, smiling and pecking his lips once again before leaving him to it.
You made your way back to the hospitality where Charlesโ family was waiting for you.
โHow is he?โ Pascale asked you as you sat down next to her.
โHeโs stressed, but heโs doing okay. He really wants to win todayโ you explained, running a hand through your hair.
Pascale nodded, knowing how important this day was for her son.
โHeโll win, I can feel itโ Pascale said, taking your hand in hers.
โกโกโกโกโก
Some people would say that you bewitched your fiancรฉ, some would say that a divine force had finally taken pity upon him, but only one thing was for certain.
Charles Leclerc had finally won his home race, the Monaco Grand Prix.
From the moment he had crossed the finish line and taken the checkered flag, everything that happened was a blur. Between hugging his family, texting your friends, crying because of how proud you were of him, things were a big blur.ย
Hearing him screaming on the radio had been what had made you break down. He had spent so many hours training, figuring out strategies, doing everything in his power to make sure that things would go well for him around his home streets and his hard work had finally paid off.
You couldnโt hold in the excitement that you felt, the pride you held for the man you loved more than life itself. Which frankly explains why you hurried out of the Ferrari hospitality and ran to the grid where the Ferrari mechanics were waiting for Charles.
The moment you saw him get out of the car and throw himself at his team, the cascade of tears began once again, blurring your vision which now only consisted of the red teamwear all around you.
โY/N!โ you were snapped out of your thoughts by Charlesโ voice, who had noticed you crying as soon as he hugged his team.
The Ferrari mechanics quickly made way for you, letting you jump into Charlesโ arms and wrapping your legs around his waist as he hugged you tightly to his body.
โI did it, Y/N. I finally did itโ he cried into your shoulder, which made you let out more tears and squeeze him even tighter than you already were.
โI told you, I knew you were going to do it. My Monaco winnerโ you pulled away slightly to kiss him, taking his face in your hands.
The entire team cheered around you, paparazzi taking pictures upon pictures of the moment shared between you.
โI love you so fucking muchโ you whispered against his lips, making him grin widely.
โI love you tooโ
And with that, the Monaco curse has finally been broken, once and for all.
