    Summary

    All of that would have been forgivable if not for the Green-Eyed Monster’s complete disregard for the pre-contracted occupation rights of Max’s lap. Such rights had long been pre-determined and belonged to Sassy (and occasionally to Jimmy, she admitted begrudgingly). However, no amount of quiet hisses and vicious glares seemed to penetrate the creature’s thick skull, and he would greedily occupy Max’s thigh for more than 95% of any given afternoon. Sometimes with his head, sometimes with his feet, and a few times he even straddled his entire body over Max; the latter could not have been comfortable for Max, as the Green-Eyed Monster was enormously overweight compared to Sassy.

    (Jimmy had insisted that it was not nice to shame another living creature about their weight, but she was not wrong. With her compact size and considerably more reasonable mass, Sassy was confident that she was much more comfortable for Max to have on his lap than that horrendously oversized creature.)

    Summary

    Charles doesn't remember a time when he wasn't cold (when his soulmate wasn't cold) so there's never been a time when he didn't know he has a soulmate. And he knows that it's nearly impossible to find your soulmate, but on a rainy track in Belgium, he sees his biggest rival shivering and he just knows. And if it takes a couple tries to get him to believe, he's willing to wait.

    If Max wants to become a World Champion one day, he can't have a soulmate. Or at least, that's what his dad tells him, that soulmates are a weakness, and he will never be able to win if he has one, especially if his soulmate is on the grid. So when his only real competition walks up to him and says they're soulmates, what else is he supposed to do but deny it with everything he has?

    All the great Formula One rivals are rumored to be soulmates, but no one told them that in reality, racing against a soulmate means potentially losing them in one way or the other.

    ***

    Or, 5 times Charles tried to convince Max they were soulmates, and 1 time he didn't need to.

    Summary

    Summary

    “You are severely touch-starved Mr Leclerc," the doctor explained quietly, pushing the tissue box towards his patient. "You're the worst case I've ever seen, to be honest. Your body is screaming for physical affection, which causes this… heightened emotivity."

    "Can I just have depression like normal people?" Charles asked, his voice breaking on the last syllable, as he grabbed a tissue from the box.

    OR

    Charles has a condition. He needs to be hugged as much as possible, otherwise he cries. Constantly. The paddock tries to help. Mysteriously, Max's hugs work much better than everyone else's.
