a/n: sooo max is officially a dad đđ so I picked up the draft of my dad!Max series with the twins which you can find here! I hope you like it and let me m ow if you have some ideas!
summary: baby verstappen nÂș3 is here, and the twins are now happy with the idea.
It had been a quiet morning, at least by the new Verstappen household standards.
The Monaco penthouse, usually alive with the squabbling of six-year-old twins and the occasional feline disaster, was unusually peaceful. The cause of this rare tranquility? The arrival of Baby Lia had everyone mesmerized, literally and metaforically having everyone wrapped around her little finger.
Youcradled the newborn in your arms, gently rocking her in the nursery Max had insisted on painting himself. Pale pink walls, soft grey furniture, and a mobile of tiny stars that the twins helped assemble.
âYouâre not even crying today,â you murmured, brushing a soft kiss on Liaâs forehead. âItâs like you know I needed a break, what a smart baby, yes you are.â
Footsteps padded down the hallway, fast and energetic. Then came the crash of something toppling over. The twins ready to disrupt the quiet.
âMila!â Lucaâs voice rang out, shrill and dramatic. âYou almost dropped her bunny!â
âItâs not my fault Jimmy knocked it down!â Mila huffed back.
You sighed, smiling despite the quiet moment gone. The calm had lasted exactly twelve minutes.
You stepped into the hallway with Lia, just in time to see Jimmy dart out from under the babyâs toy box with a fluff of pink clutched between his teeth.
âMama!â Mila wailed, dramatic tears already forming. âJimmy stole Liaâs bunny!â
âYes, because you dropped it, Mila!â Luca reprimanded his twin.
Before you could intervene, Maxâs voice boomed from the kitchen. âJimmy! No stealing from the baby!â
Max appeared, wearing sweatpants, a Red Bull hoodie, and holding two sippy cups. He looked equally amused and tired. parenthood in a nutshell.
âCrisis averted?â he asked, eyebrows raised.
âI think Jimmy wants attention,â you replied, bouncing Lia gently. âHeâs jealous, he probably thought it was only going to be the twins forever.â
Max chuckled, scooping up the cat and plopping him into Lucaâs arms. âThatâs what happens when youâve ruled the house for years. Then babies come and steal your spotlight. Tough life.â
âAnd what about Sassy?â You asked Max.
Max glanced toward the back of the couch where Sassy lounged with the disinterest of a feline queen, which of course she was. âSheâs plotting our demise, probably.â
You snorted, the vibrations of your body earning a smile from Lia.
The twins came running, now united in their mission: cooing at their baby sister.
âCan I hold her again?â Mila asked, reaching for Liaâs tiny hand.
âNo, me first!â Luca insisted, already positioning the couch pillows for support just like Max had shown them.
You sighed again, this time with a full heart. You remembered the day you told the twins about the pregnancy, Luca had declared he didnât want âa baby stealing his toys,â and Mila had spent the afternoon sulking because âbabies are boring.â And both of them had tried really hard to stop the babyâs arrival.
Now? They were obsessed.
It was later that weekend in Miami when Max found himself being cornered in the paddock for an interview with Sky Sports Netherlands.
âSo Max,â the interview began in Dutch, âcongratulations again on the new addition to the family! How are things going at home with three kids now?â
Max grinned, hands in his pockets. âChaotic. Loud. Exhausting⊠Perfect.â
The interviewer laughed. âAnd the twins? How are Mila and Luca adjusting? I remember they werenât too pumped when we crossed paths a few months ago.â
Max didnât hesitate. âHonestly? I thought theyâd hate it. When we told them (Y/N) was pregnant, Luca wanted to move out.â He chuckled, shaking his head. âMila made us sign a paper saying weâd still play Barbie games with her even after the baby came. They were so in denial that we got a call from their teacher.â
The small group of journalists laughed.
âBut now?â Max continued. âTheyâre obsessed. They follow Lia around like bodyguards. Luca brings her toys she canât even use, Mila sings to her. They fight about who gets to hold her. I think Iâve held her less than both of them.â
âAnd the cats?â The interviewer teased. âI hear Jimmy and Sassy have opinions.
âOh, Jimmyâs a menace. He tries to sleep in the crib,â Max said, his tone fond. âSassyâs smarter, she gives Lia a five-foot radius. She watches from a distance like sheâs evaluating her for royal court or something which is very entertaining.â
There was more laughter.
âSounds like a full house.â
Max nodded. âIt is. But I wouldnât trade it for anything.â
-
Back home, the house was quieter than usual.
With Max in Miami, you were managing the trio on your own. Your mother had offered to stay, but you politely declined, liking the rhythm and evolving routine; early mornings with Lia after the twins left to school, midday chaos with the twins, and long, quiet evenings watching Max on the TV while feeding the baby.
You curled onto the couch, baby Lia nestled in a wrap on your chest, Mila curled up beside you, and Luca was completely knocked out from building a Lego fortress with a secret baby princess chamber, which he assured was for both Lia and Mila.
Maxâs interview played in the background. âLuca wanted to move out,â Max said on the screen, laughing.
You giggled, watching Lucaâs face twitch in sleep as if heâd heard his name.
The moment made your heart ache with pride and love.
Two days later, Max came home.
The door opened quietly, heâd learned not to make noise just in case Lia was sleeping, but before he could take a step in, Mila barreled into him.
âPapa!â she squealed.
Max laughed, lifting her with one arm and dropping his bag with the other. Luca followed, hugging Maxâs waist.
You appeared at the end of the hall, holding Lia with one hand and balancing a bottle in the other. âHello babe, the house didnât burn down.â
He met you halfway, kissing you deeply, letting his hand rest over Liaâs tiny head. âMissed you,â he whispered on your lips.
âShe missed you too. She kept staring at the TV every time you talked.â
âSheâs a Verstappen, she knows good racing.â Max bragged, a habit he picked since the twins were born was now at its peak after the birth of Lia. âPlus, she was conceived the night I won the fourth so she knows whatâs good.â Max whispered the last part so the twins wouldnât hear.
Later that night, the five of you, cats included, were on the bed.
Mila had brought her blanket, Luca had brought snacks which were promptly confiscated by Max. Jimmy snuggled into Maxâs feet while Sassy stared at the baby with mild disapproval.
Lia gurgled softly between you, wearing a pale pink Red Bull onesie Max had been gifted by the team.
âI canât believe we made her,â you whispered, resting your head against his shoulder.
âI know,â he whispered back, brushing his thumb along Liaâs little hand. âSheâs perfect.â
âI was so scared,â you admitted. âI thought adding another baby would ruin the balance and letâs be honest, we never really thought about having another baby, we were just desperate to celebrate your championship.â You giggled, remembering the night.
Max turned to you, cupping your cheek. âYou were right to be scared. But we didnât ruin anything. We just⊠added more love.â
Luca yawned. âPapa, can Lia come to the next race?â
Max smiled. âNot yet, buddy. But soon.â
Mila curled next to her mother. âShe needs earmuffs with her name printed, like the ones we use when we go see daddy race.â
âSheâll have them,â Max promised. âWeâll get her baby-sized ones.â
You smiled, the warmth in your chest spreading like sunlight.
âI know we have enough but⊠I think we need a new cat.â Max proposed.
You snorted. âExcuse me?â
Max shrugged. âItâs only fair! The twins have Jimmy and Sassy, Lia deserves her own.â Your husband worked his beautiful blue eyes on you.
âWeâll talk about it tomorrow.â You said, knowing this fight was already lost.
âMila was also talking about a puppy after meeting Leo.â
âMax!â
Oh my god... this is sooo beautifully written... i criedđđ
Imagine as you lay across his lap, he breathes hums of your favorite song that he memorized just for you.
Imagine as your vision blurs because heâs such a pretty sight to fall asleep to.
Imagine as a warm smile spreads across your face and you whisper your love to him because he has to know.
You donât know why the urgency of your feelings is there but the warmth of his hand sweeping your hair across your cheek is enough to halt any thoughts.Â
Imagine as his eyes grow teary because he loves you so deeply and he cannot picture life without you.
Imagine as he places a shiny ring on your finger because he never plans on leaving your side.Â
Imagine as you smile warmly up at him and whisper âyesâ before you fall asleep to his gentle humming.
Imagine being in love.
Now imagine his point of view.
Imagine as he cradles your head with gentle hands like heâs carrying glass.
Imagine him trying to steady his breathes long enough to hum your song because you look so confused and he just wants to settle your mind.Â
Imagine he watches your eyes glaze over and his body strains to hold his weight and your own without breaking.
Imagine him glancing away to wipe his tears because your smile is slowly tearing him apart and you whispering your love is the same as whispering goodbye.
Imagine his eyes growing teary because youâre getting colder and colder and he canât do anything to stop the slowing of your heart.
Imagine him placing a shaky hand on your cheek to ground himself and hold you one last time.
Imagine as he slides a ring onto your finger, the ring he was supposed to propose with tonight at your birthday, the ring that promises youâll be with each other until the end.
Imagine as sobs heave through him and he struggles to continue humming your song as you whisper âyesâ, because he finally has his answer but this isnât how he wanted it.
Imagine as his scream rips through the air when your eyes close.
Imagine being in love until death do you part.
Imagine breaking his heart.
on that night, when you called Yoongi crying because the world had been too much for you, he left everything to go to you. in that same night, when the world seemed to crumble, Yoongi held you in his arms, gluing every piece of you broken heart with his tender love. and you cried yourself to sleep again that night, but Yoongi was with you and he made sure he kissed all your tears goodbye.
the next morning, both of you went along with your separate lives, but at night, when you were so close to fall asleep overwhelmed with everything, you received a text from Yoongi that made your fragile heart realize that maybe, just maybe, there could be love in this cold world.
â how am i supposed to fall asleep alone now that i know what it feels like to have you in my arms? â
Summary: Y/n has the baby blues and Charles isn't there when y/n needs him.
Note: you guys asked for more CharlesâŠshit able angsty
Word count: 1.4k
Charles never would've left y/n on her own of his own choice, but F1 demands his presence and he had tried to get y/n to accept help from his mum and brothers with them being so close by but y/n had wanted to spend a couple weeks just adjusting to the life without any help.
He felt like it was more to prove to herself that she could do it because she'd need to do it without him more often than not and she just needs to deal with it.
Every time he's called and check on her she seemed maybe a little lonely and tired but it wasn't anything to worry about. But it's coming home that he hears Camille screaming and y/n curled up against the far wall staring with a vacant expression, streams of tear tracks down her cheeks, at the baby who seems to be just bundled on the floor.
"Amour?-Amour? Are you ok?" Charles asks picking up Camille from the floor and trying to soothe her while also getting closer to y/n who snaps out of the daze and practically jumps away. "Y/n?"
"I can't do it. I don't how to do this." Y/n whispers shaking her head while Charles frowns. "I'm gonna hurt her or something."
Charles genuinely has no idea what is happening, had y/n hurt Camille while he was gone? Camille had calmed down since being picked up and held but it's hard to tell if she's hurt or just distressed.
Probably hungry.
Charles feels an internal war of whether to prioritise y/n or Camille but eventually decides to give Camille a bottle and manages to put her down in her crib before he returns to y/n who hasn't moved other than hiding her face in her knees.
"Amour." Charles sighs scooping her up and lifting her to sit on the sofa with him. "Y/n, please tell me what's wrong. I want to make everything ok and whatever it is, we can fix it."
"I was fine. Everything-it was fine. But then she started crying and I couldn't figure it out. It was just like she didn't want me and then I realised I have no idea what I'm doing, I don't know how to make her feel better. I don't know what different cries mean and I'm trying so hard-I'm really trying so hard." Y/n hiccups clearly exhausted and in desperate need of just being taken care of.
Charles almost asks her what she wants but then he decides that she's just going to have to deal with him taking charge.
Thankfully she's in no state to fight him so instead she lets him undress her and run a bath for her, him sitting on the outside as she watches him looking more and more tired as time passes.
"I love you, mon amour. It will be ok, you are just tired and worried, it's completely normal and I'm going to make sure you're ok." Charles states making her nod a little showing that she is there, she's conscious and not lost in her own head.
-
Charles was torn, he has heard time and time again that the last thing a man should do is resort to his mother to help them take care of their child but he didn't know who else to resort to and he had a plan that he thought might be better.
"She's sleeping." Charles explains to Pascale as she arrives.
"You focus on the baby, I will take care of y/n." Pascale smiles patting his back. "First you need to eat and I will make some food for y/n ready for when she wakes up."
What y/n needs someone who really knows how to take care of someone in distress and while Charles wants to be that person, he knows that he won't do the best job and asking his mother for help will hopefully be better for everyone and it's not as if Charles is wiping his hands of his girlfriend.
Charles eats and then he makes sure Camille is fed before deciding to take the baby out for a walk and when he returns, y/n is still very much asleep with Pascale deciding to check on her every half hour.
And y/n sleeps for 16 hours, even sleeping through the night with Charles there with her and then he wakes up and continues doing everything to try and make everything as easy as possible when she does wake up.
Eventually she rises and Pascale wastes no time fussing over her, which Charles watches with obvious concern, not wanting his mum to cause any further upset.
"Maybe I could come with you to the doctor and we talk with her about what help we can get you?-I'm sure it's just the first few weeks, I was the same with Charles. But Hervé didn't need to leave for work." Pascale states making y/n nod a little with a genuinely grateful smile as she nods, tears gathering in her eyes which makes Charles move over to her and just wrapping his arm around her.
"The doctor said these things can happen. We just need to find something that works for us-for you." Charles smiles then making her nod before she hiccups as more tears pool.
"I'm sorry."
"Nothing to be sorry for. I love you, Camille loves you and we all adore you. I'll remind you every day, ok?"
"Ok." Y/n hiccups trying to calm herself down again. "I love you too-and Camille, and you, Pascale. Thank you so much, I promise we are going to get you on holiday to a spa."
"We can both go to the spa." Pascale smiles moving around to hug the young woman. "You are doing amazing."
-
Y/n and the doctors made a plan for how to handle and manage her mental health and when she got home all y/n wanted to do was hold Camille.
So that's what she's done, she's held the baby who seems to just be relieved to have her mother back. Charles was great, but even doctor's acknowledge the bond between a mother and her baby is going to bring more comfort.
"I'll leave the three of you to it, but I'm a phone call away and I'll make sure I come back and check on her when you have to leave. But the three of you need time without anyone else here." Pascale whispers with a smile as she catches Charles' attention from the picture in front of them.
Y/n is whispering to Camille and speaking quietly to the baby.
"Thank you for helping."
"Any time. You are still babies to me." Pascale smiles then kissing his cheek and leaving making Charles sigh and move to sit with y/n.
"Do you think Fred would forgive me if I quit just to stay here with the two of you?" Charles asks earning a small smile. "You know I am so amazed by you."
Y/n smiles at him feeling her lower lip tremble as she tries not to let the tears slip out.
"I hope Camille gets your strength rather than mine." Charles states as y/n leans over and rests against him.
"You're strong, Charles. You came back here and picked me up, you knew exactly what to do to fix this." Y/n sighs softly while smiling as Camille just shifts. "I didn't realise how hard it was going to be...even with the warnings. I just felt like I was going to hurt her and when she wouldn't stop crying it just felt like I wasn't really here till you came home."
They still don't really know how long y/n had disassociated with Camille on the floor, it couldn't have been that long since she didn't need changing and she wasn't cold or showing any sighs of actual neglect. She was just crying.
"You don't have to know it all, amour. I'm still figuring it out too." Charles smiles then sighing. "All that matters is that no one is hurt and you aren't going to hurt her. You are doing perfect and even if you weren't. That doesn't make you a bad mum anymore than it makes me a bad dad."
"I don't know how other women do this with multiple kids."
"We don't have to think about that. We just focus on now and if Camille is all the only kid we have then she is more than enough anyway." Charles assures y/n not wanting to make her feel any pressure thinking about later.
"We'll figure it out." Y/n confirms definitely more for herself but she also just needed to hear herself say it.

Request: can you write one where yoongi is y/nâs neighbor (either he recently moved there or she did, doesnât matter) and y/n is pretty introverted and has had a tough life. she deals w self-harm (if ur not comfortable writing this part its totally fine, you can skip it or u can just make it so that it was in the past and she doesnât currently do it anymore) and depression. sheâs a painter but is always self conscious of her paintings/drawings but he sees them and appreciates them, they become good friends, and both open up to eachother, their windows are next to eachother in a way so they always meet up on the roof thatâs connected to their window(idk if iâm making sense lol) and they lay there talk and stare at the stars. you can end it however u want but this is the gist of what i was thinking (also, if you do decide to write the SH part, u donât have to write the act of it, just him maybe seeing them and her talking about it and him comforting her about it) and ofc if u can make it fluffy lol
Ofc!! I hope you don't mind the direction I took it :)))
These small moments of peace are what keep you sane.Â
A good book, a new favorite song, rainy days spent on your sofa watching movies.Â
The small moments in between are what really matter â between the chaos and excitement, where nothing really matters more than how warm you are bundled up under your favorite blanket or how the breeze moves through you perfectly on an evening walk.Â
This moment was one of those moments.Â
Sat on the small chair you had on the fire-escape youâd turned into a nice enough little balcony. A warm cup of coffee clutched by your cold fingers as the autumn morning breeze chilled them.Â
The apartment across from yours had been empty for some time, not that you minded at all. Their fire escape was no more than 10 feet away from yours, the buildings almost hugging in this gridlocked city you moved to.Â
But today it seemed your peace was over, as you could see through the window that someone was moving in. You sighed briefly as you stood, empty mug in hand as you stepped back into your apartment through the small window before closing it behind you, catching a glimpse of who you presume would be your new neighbor.Â
He peered at you through his own window, a small curious smile playing on his lips as he gave you a small wave.Â
You returned it, giving a small smile of your own before you turned away.Â
One of the thingâs you found yourself grateful for was the size of your apartment. It wasnât large or glamorous by any stretch of the imagination, but you had enough room for a small art studio in one of the bedrooms.Â
You smiled to yourself almost unconsciously as you eyed down a blank canvas, the gentle features of your new neighbor flooding your mind, and you wondered for a moment how often youâd have to run into him.Â
-
You leaned against the front door to your apartment as it shut, a deep wave of relief washing over you to finally be home. The late-night shifts at your job always had been the most draining, and today was no different.Â
You slid off your jacket after you finally managed to push yourself from the door and hung it on the rack. As you reached up to hang it, the sleeve of your sweater raised up slightly, revealing the scars youâd long-since stopped collecting. They served as reminder as to why you stopped, but from time-to-time, they seemed more to be egging you on rather than reminding you why you stopped.Â
Another small sigh left your lips as you gently rubbed over your wrist, before pulling your sleeve back down.Â
After making yourself a cup of tea and grabbing your sketchbook, you headed over to the window and climbed out onto the fire escape. You sat down and brought your knees up, resting your sketchbook on them as you opened up to a fresh page. Your new neighbor had decorated his own fire escape with plants and fairy lights, a very nice sight in comparison to the empty one itâd been days before.Â
You began to sketch the scene in front of you, looking up every so often to refresh your memory, but this time when you looked up, the man thatâd waved at you a few days prior was standing in front of you, a cup of coffee in his hands as he stood out on his fire escape; looking at you with another one of his small smiles.Â
âHope you donât mind, I used yours as inspiration,â You sat confused for a second before realizing he was referring to your own âbalconyâ.Â
âNot at all, gives me something new to look at,â You smiled, going back down to your drawing, copying down the way the vines of one of his plants wrapped around the railing.Â
âWhat are you doing up so late, anyways?â He asked, now leaning over an un-occupied portion of the railing.Â
âI could ask you the same thing,â you responded, not looking up from your paper.Â
âI just got off work,â you smiled, looking up briefly with the intention of getting another look at how the lights were hanging, but instead just looked at him and back down again.Â
âMe too.âÂ
-
As weeks passed, youâd gotten to know the man with the pretty fire escape, Yoongi, pretty well. You both got off work around the same time and made your way out so you could talk to one another, and tonight was no different.Â
âYou canât just tell me that you paint and then refuse to show me anything youâve painted, thatâs just cruel!â You giggled, pulling your jacket closer to your body as the cool air nipped at your skin.Â
âI wouldnât say cruel, I was just making conversation! How was I supposed to know that youâd want to see it?â You smiled lightly, a blush creeping on your cheeks as you looked up at the night sky, Something Yoongi and you had started doing so you could point out different constellations to one another, and now continue doing so you can talk for more time without having to sit up.Â
âWho hears about someone doing any form of art and doesnât immediately want to experience it? Thatâs like going up to someone and telling them you have fresh-baked brownies but and not letting them have any,âÂ
âWhat if I made the brownies for myself? I didnât go through all the trouble of baking a whole pan of brownies just to hand them out to people, I made the brownies so I could eat them.âÂ
âAh, an artist who creates for themselves, keeping the beauty of their creations to themselves while the rest of the world remains blissfully unaware of what it could be experiencing. Truly the most cruel act I can imagine,â His voice was more serious than his previous digs at you, but even without looking at him, you knew he was smiling as he spoke.Â
âThatâs a lot easier to say when you donât have art to hide. When itâs just yours you can appreciate it, the work you put into it and the flaws that make it yours. But when showing it to others, they might not have the same appreciation for it,âÂ
While it was true that there was a point in time where you desperately wanted the world to see what youâd spent so much time creating, that time has long since passed; the words of the ones youâd shown your art to etched into your brain and no matter how much you tried to shake them away, they still cling in your memory.Â
There was a silence, not an uncomfortable or long one, but one where you both sat and thought about what was said, still staring up at the stars that twinkled softly.Â
âI make music, you know,â You looked over at him, suddenly less engulfed in the way the stars shone and more interested in whatever Yoongi had to say; yet his gaze remained fixed up at the sky. âI never wanted to show anyone until one day I did, and nowâŠâ he was silent, but you could see his lips begin to curve upward before you decided to turn your attention back to the sky.
âWell now I let the world listen, and in return, it thanks me.â
-
You were honestly half-asleep on your sofa when a gentle knock on your door startled you back to the land of the living. You stood up and paused the show and threw your blanket over your couch, having no idea who could possibly be here and how judgmental they would be about blanket-placement.Â
You opened your door to see Yoongi, smiling somewhat nervously. You turned and peered at the time on your stove, surprised that it was already nearly 3 in the morning.Â
âSorry, I hope you donât mind, I just thought we could like actually hang out, instead of just sitting on the fire escape,â he noticed your hesitation and quickly spoke again. âI meant like out for a coffee or something, you donât have to invite me in-âÂ
âYeah sure, sorry, Iâm still half asleep. You can come in while I change,â You stepped aside and opened your door a little further to allow him in. âMake yourself at home, Iâll be right back,âÂ
You smiled as you closed the door and swiftly moved back to your room to but on something more inappropriate than sweatpants and the oversized t-shirts of one of your exâs.Â
You walked back out to the living room, but he wasnât there. You furrowed your brow briefly before you realized that there was only one other room he could possibly be in. You ran to your studio, the lights now on with Yoongi staring at all the paintings you had propped up against the wall.Â
âThese areâŠâ He trailed off, never taking his eyes away from your work to acknowledge you were even in the room.Â
âNot really that great, I know, but they werenât really meant to be seen-âÂ
âY/n, these are amazing,â He looked at you now, his smile shining brightly before he looked back at them, almost in disbelief at how good they were, at how good you were. âHow have you never shown these to anyone?âÂ
You silently leaned up against the wall, thinking back to the last time you had shown someone. âThe last person that saw anything I made had a very different reaction than you,â He tore his eyes away from them and moved them to you, confusion strewn about his features, as if he couldnât fathom anyone seeing your art any differently than he had.Â
âIt was a long time ago, anyway,â You looked down at your feet, shifting awkwardly as you tried to move on from the tense moment. âHe just didnât really like anything that wasnât perfect, and everything I make is full of flaws.âÂ
âBut thatâs what makes it beautiful, isnât it?â He asks, taking a few steps closer to you. âLike with most things, the more flawed; the more human that they are, the more beautiful they are,â He was right in front of you now, taking in your features as you did his, much different now in decent lighting and not from completely different buildings.Â
He was much softer than he seemed from the fire escape. His eyes warmer and cheeks fuller, he almost seemed ethereal standing in front of you, praising the art you poured your heart and soul into.Â
He reached out for your hands, pulling your sleeve up slightly where he feels the healed-over ridges of what once was the worst pain youâve ever felt, and your heart jumped; someone seeing both your art and your scars within the same 3-minute window of time being much too vulnerable for you.Â
He looked down at your arm, wanting to fully see what he was feeling, not fully believing his first thought when he felt them.Â
Your arm pulled out flat in front of him as he gently pushed your sleeve up further to reveal more of the scars that littered your body.Â
âMore of that flawed, human stuff,â You spoke softly, trying to make a joke that came out sounding a lot more depressing than you had intended it to be.Â
He brushed his thumb over it softly, realizing heâd stumbled into much more than an art studio when he came over for an innocent cup of coffee.Â
Moving almost as if he had no control over his actions, his hands moved to your cheeks and his lips to yours, engulfing you in a kiss that portrayed so much more than words ever could.Â
The voices in your head telling you all the negative things about yourself fell away as he filled you with positivity; filled you with reassurance and understanding that no one else had been able to offer you with all the words that they knew.Â
He softly pulled away, your foreheads connected and his hands still cupping your face as you opened your eyes to see him already looking back at you with his warm dark eyes.Â
âAnd all the more beautiful it makes you.â

Y/n tries to stop her lip from quivering as she blinks a little really trying to force herself to listen to Lando speak, but his voice is muffled by the pounding in her head.
She feels sick and she knows that he really believes this is the best solution.
"You're not even willing to fight for this." Y/n whispers biting her lip making Lando stop his rambling that had started as he tried to explain himself and why he felt this was best.
"I can't let other people hurt you anymore baby."
"You think breaking up with me is going to make them stop? You're lying to yourself just as much as you're lying to me with that sort of bullshit." Y/n mutters then sucking in a breath as she finally finds her bearings and stands up. "I'll pack up my stuff and leave. Just give me a couple hours."
"You don't have to take everything now, we can-"
"If you think I want to come back here or have other people come here or have any reminder of you that isn't already going to be pushed in my face by the same people you're blaming for this. Then you never knew me, but honestly you've already proven that." Y/n scoffs shaking her head.
Y/n gets to work packing up everything and somehow keeping her head held high, but she knows the tears are coming.
"Let me help." Lando mumbles seeing her struggle with the suitcase but she moves it out his reach swiftly.
"You've helped enough." Y/n snaps feeling her hurt and sadness breaking into a moment of anger.
"I'm sorry."
"You'd never have done this for that reason if you really felt anything for me. So whatever you're choosing of us, I really hope it's worth it because I know you weren't."
She's speaking from a dark and nasty place, a place that didn't exist before today and she wants him to know that he did this to himself.

Lando knew what he lost as soon as y/n left and he's moved on. Or at least that's what he tells himself with his new girlfriend, Violet. She's a model, fits the F1 WAG label very well and they're happy.
From what he knows y/n has moved on too, she found a partner who gave her the life she always deserved. Though they could've broken up since he hasn't seen her post about him for a long time. But if they have, she hasn't deleted any evidence of his existence from her socials like she did with Lando. Even if she didn't block him and force him to unfollow her, she did unfollow him and seems to have filtered his name from her comments on her posts.
He was wiped before she even got on her flight out of Nice, although she's still there on his page.
Only one post remains that suggests he was ever part of her life and it's a picture of her on her flight home after their break up captioned "I knew you'd break my heart". That actually earned waves of hate to Lando since his fans suddenly switched up their attitudes and let Lando have a piece of their mind over the fact he broke things off with y/n.
They still make edits of the two and posts about their relationship saying they wish y/n would come back to Lando and Lando would take his head out his arse.
He can't deny he has regrets about how things ended, he has regrets about losing someone who brought joy to his every day the way she did.
That's how he ends up seeing her on live on her instagram getting ready for a date night. The chat knows he's there, they've made sure to point it out in the comments where his name isn't filtered for the live.
"Ok, guys. That's not really something I want to think about." Y/n sighs with a twinge of hurt crossing her expression.
Eventually she exposes that she is not spending Valentine's day with any man but actually she's having a Galentine's day with all her girls who are also spending the day alone.
Then the live ends and Lando feels his mood deflate immediately. It's frustrating that he's in a new relationship but just one interaction with y/n and the smallest indirect acknowledgement of his existence lifted him.
He does take Violet out for their own Valentine's day dinner but his mind is anywhere but on the woman across from him as she talks about whatever it is she's filling the voice with.
Y/n haunts him in his dreams that night, as she had in the months following their break up.
He was never sure if she blocked his number or got a new number but he wakes up at an ungodly hour, not able to keep seeing her every time he closes his and he texts the number he still has for her. Her username still saved as "lover girl", he winces tapping her contact and seeing their old conversations pop up.
They were so in love, just remembering how they ended leaves a bitter taste in Lando's mouth.
He should stop himself, but he sends the message asking if she'd be up to talk.
It has a delivered label.
"Idiot." Lando mutters feeling like a fool for even trying especially at such a time of day, but then the delivered changes to read.
The three little dots appear and he feels his heart rate pick up before they disappear and are replaced with a message that he really should've expected.
I think you've text the wrong number.
Should've seen that one coming.
He tries to send another message and sighs seeing the rest of his messages go undelivered. She hadn't blocked him but him bringing attention to that has meant that she corrected that error quickly.
It'd been too long to go back.
She always deserved for him to fight harder, she'd never let the hate get to her the way he pretended she did. It was him who couldn't handle it and he masked his pain as her to make things end between them.
He has no one to blame but himself and he was a coward when y/n was in his life. Now he has to watch her thrive while he drowns in his regret and guilt that haunts in the form of her ghost.

Summary: Max's new relatioship causes a social media stir, but the new couple couldn't care less whilst in Italy.

You understood it, to a degree. Max had just broken off a three-year-long relationship right before summer break, and now suddenly he was spending the summer with you. Now youâre at the paddock... No wonder people thought there was some crossover.
The truth? You two met last New Year's at a party for some sporting event. You, being one of the sponsors for your country's national sports committee, were invited, and Max... well, Max was Max Verstappen. You hit it off, exchanged numbers, showed him around your company a few times, and took him to all of your favorite restaurants in NYC. But you knew he had a girlfriend; everyone knew. And he was taking care of her kid too.
That breakup was hard on him. He had stopped loving her, but he couldn't just kick a woman and her kid out of his house. Max waited for them to have a huge fight, and then they just... broke up. And to your surprise, he was in New York the next day, saying that he needed someone to talk to. Bullshit. You knew he liked you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way here 'just to talk.'
But here you were, in Italy, spending time with him before Monza. You were currently typing away on your phone, trying to make peace in the finance department. Max glanced up from his phone every so often, stealing peeks at you while grinning.
He had never quite been so into someone like you. You were smart, funny, talented, pretty, and on top of all that - you were also rich. But you were also the most challenging girl to flirt with Max had ever met.
"You look like you could use a break," he said, after watching you tap away at your work laptop for a few minutes.
"Probably. What's the point of having interns if they don't do anything?"
"Then you should consider hiring me; I'm pretty good at helping out," Max teased, looking up from his phone and sending you a cheeky smile. He loved a woman who was in power, who knew what she was doing, and he could tell you were used to being the boss. "Come on, take a break. You know you deserve it," Max encouraged, resting his hand on top of yours to stop you from working some more.
"I guess I could eatâŠ" You say, closing your laptop. "I saw on Google Maps that thereâs a nice pizza place down the road. We can go if youâre hungry.â
Max smiled and nodded. âYes, Iâm starving; letâs go,â he said, reaching for the car keys.
âNo, itâs okay, letâs walk,â you stop him. He turned towards you, slightly confused. Usually, women would give anything to drive around with Max Verstappen. Maybe thatâs just what makes you special.
The two of you walked out of the hotel, your bodyguard Lenny standing outside the door. The tall, muscular man just nodded as the two of you entered the elevator. Max found it funny that you preferred Lenny guard your stuff more than you. Especially the laptop. He sometimes wondered what you kept in there...
âIs Pierre gonna be at the race?â you asked as you exited the building, breaking the silence.
Maxâs head snapped towards you, and he raised his brow. âUh, yes, of course he is⊠Why?â
âBecause I want to see Kika.â
âOh, so sheâs your secret F1 crush, eh?â Max said, relaxing.
You laughed. âPierre is a solid seven with a better haircut. Kika is a twelve on a bad day.â
As you got to the bigger streets, you started to understand why Max drove everywhere. Unlike you, who were a chiller and niche celebrity, despite being incredibly rich, Max was a real superstar. Your short walk to the pizza shop became a fan meet and greet, with people coming up to you every three seconds and asking for photos.
âIs this your girlfriend?â one of the people asking for a picture asked. As you finished taking the photo, you noticed Maxâs slightly flustered face as he heard the question. He stumbled, but you answered with a simple âYeah.â
As you arrived at the restaurant, you noticed that Max was staring at you. He seemed⊠surprised. You laughed at his facial expression. The sound of your laugh calmed him instantly, his heartbeat beginning to return to normal. Max cursed himself in his head; he was better than this. He chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Is it something I said?"
Max ran a hand through his hair, feeling his cheeks heating up slightly. "No, no... Not really," he reassured you, trying to sound casual. "I was just... thinking."
"Okay, well I'm thinking about the food. I think a Vesuvius sounds great right now."
Max chuckled and quickly glanced down at the menu to hide his embarrassment. "Vesuvius? What the hell is a Vesuvius?" he asked, though his eyes scanned down the menu, searching for it.
"It's a type of pizza," you teased. "It's been like three minutes; have you not even skimmed the menu?"
Max fidgeted under your gaze, feeling the heat rise in his cheeks again. "What?" he asked with a nervous chuckle. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You tell me. Why are you staring?" Max shook his head, glancing up at you questioningly. He had no idea what you were thinking about. "No... What are you thinking about?" he asked, his curiosity getting the best of him.
"There are pots from 4000 years ago found in ancient Egypt that are made out of an incredibly difficult to manage material and are cut to such perfection that they balance on their round bottom."
Max's eyebrows shot up in surprise. He was expecting something totally different. Something that had at least a little bit to do with him. He chuckled, still somewhat surprised as he studied your face. "Where did that come from?" he asked incredulously.
"The Egyptians. They were like, cooking pots and stuff. Royal cooking pots probably, but still," you teased.
Max chuckled again, shaking his head in disbelief. "You're thinking about cooking pots, and here I am, just trying to figure out what I did to make you say that we're together so casually."
"What do you mean? Are we not together?"
"Well, of course we're together," Max said, his voice taking on a more serious tone now. He glanced around the restaurant briefly, making sure no one was listening in on their conversation. "I just... I didn't expect you to say it so casually," he said, his eyes meeting yours again.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't know we were keeping it a secret. I mean, I was at the paddock and all last time, and I took days off work to come to this raceâ"
Max shook his head, realizing you completely misunderstood what he was saying. "No, no, it's not that... I just..." he began, struggling to find the right words. He took a deep breath, his fingers fidgeting in his lap. "It's just... you're so casual about it... and I'm... a bit too flustered for my own good," he admitted, a tinge of embarrassment in his voice.
You softened up a bit. "Oh, okay, I get it. It was just a bit too shocking for you... Yeah, sorry."
Max felt his heartbeat a little faster when you softened, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Yeah, it was a bit... unexpected for me," he chuckled, feeling somewhat silly for being so flustered. "But it's fine, honestly."
"Do you think my stomach is gonna have space for gelato later? There's a really good gelateria; I can see it from the window... They make the ones with the macarons..."
Max chuckled, loving how you were so excited about the gelato. "Well, based on the amount of pizza you usually eat," he teased, a smirk on his face. "I'd say you're probably fine."
"No, they put the macarons on the gelato."
"On the gelato?" Max repeated, his eyebrows shooting up in surprise.
"I've never heard of such a thing," he said, leaning forward to get a better look out the window at the gelateria you were talking about. "Well, in that case," he said with a grin, "we're definitely going there for dessert."
After eating so much that your belts barely held, you came back to the hotel, Lenny greeting you at the door as usual. Max's stomach was stuffed to the brim, but he was in such a good mood from the good food and even better company, he didn't even care. He walked back into the hotel together with you, his hand still holding yours. Lenny greeted the two of you as usual, but Max couldn't help but notice the way Lenny looked at you, like he was analyzing you.
"All good, Len. You go to your room for the night," you said to Lenny. He nodded, smiled at the both of you, and then went off. Max watched as Lenny walked off, then turned to you, a small frown on his face.
"He was looking at you funny," he said, a protective edge to his voice.
"He thinks it's funny. That I'm dating a Formula 1 driver."
"What's so funny about that?" he protested, his grip on your hand tightening ever so slightly. "He just... I don't know, he's a big fan of yours I don't think he's processed it yet". Max's frown relaxed as you explained it, his ego immediately soothed a bit. Of course he was a big fan of his, who wasn't?
"Oh, so he's a big fan?" he teased, a hint of pride and cockiness in his voice.
You take your shoes off and lay on the bed, your stomach bloated from all the good food "Yeah. Talk to him a bit, I think it'll make him happy" You let out groan as you move "I hate you Italy. You has so much good food... I love it though"
Max chuckled, watching as you dramatically threw yourself onto the bed, your stomach protesting the amount of food you just had. "You're such a drama queen sometimes," he teased, grinning as he took off his shoes as well and joined you on the bed. He lays down beside you, running a hand over your bloated stomach. "You'll be fine," he said, though there was a hint of amusement in his voice.
"Oh, you know what I saw on TikTok?"
Max raised an eyebrow in curiosity, his hand now resting on your stomach. He didn't typically pay too much attention to TikTok, but he was more than happy to listen to you.
"What did you see?" he asked, turning his head to look at you.
"Well first of all, I'm a WAG now. Thank you for that, I will be putting that on my CV. But second, they liked that I was wearing Red Bull merch. I thought they wouldn't like it, but they did"
Max chuckled as you spoke, amused by how casually you mentioned being a WAG, and how seriously you were taking the fact that you were wearing Red Bull merchandise. "Well, of course they liked it," he said with a smirk. "You were wearing the merch of the best team out there."
He gave you a smug look, his hand moving up and tracing a lazy pattern on your stomach. "Not to mention the merch of the best driver out there."
"What am I going to do without you here?" "Live." or alternatively, Jin comforts you before he enlists.

âauthor's note - we'll be okay army! I hope this brings you all some comfort as it did for me to write it!
"I'm going to miss you."
Today was the day.
The day you hoped would never come.
The day Seokjin would fulfill his duty and enlist in the military.
You both have been holding back tears all morning, but now a flood was flowing out of your eyes. You held onto him tightly in an embrace. You sniffled as he rubbed circles on your back.
"I'm going to miss you too." He says into your hair. Jin takes a deep breath of your natural scent. It always brings him comfort when he needs it most. When you sniffle again, he pulls away to kiss you softly.
He pulls away and looks into your eyes. "Hey, enough with the tears," He whispers as he wipes them away with his thumb. "You're not going to lose me. We can still communicate."
"I know," You say, "But you won't be here with me. What am I supposed to do while you are gone? What am I supposed to do without you here by my side?"
Seokjin smiles softly. He brings you in for another kiss. "Live."
"But how am I supposed to do that without you by my side for 18 months? 547 days?"
"You're strong." He says. "Youâll be okay. Besides, I'm still going to be here, just like I always am. I may not be here physically in person, but I'm still here." He puts a hand on your heart. "My home." You sniffle again as you nod. "And the others will be here too. We are not going away at the same time so you won't be lonely. They will take care of you." He promises.
"I love you so much." He says as he brings you in for another hug.
"I love you too, Jinnie." You mumble into his chest.
"You'll be okay, my love." He reassures you. "You are so strong. Everything will be okay. You'll be okay." Seokjin reaches down to grab ahold of your chin and lifts it so he can see you. "Come on, baby, won't you let me see your beautiful smile?"
You chuckle slightly before giving him your best smile. He laughs. He cups your face with his hands and brushes more tears away. You instantly lean into his touch. Shouts are heard from the gates to the camp. Instructors are ordering the new recruits to say their final goodbyes.
You start to panic a bit as you realize that your remaining time with Jin is coming to a close. His eyes soften as your wide ones meet his. He softly shushes you as he brings you into another deep kiss. He pours everything he feels for you into the kiss. You feel all of your fears wash away as you melt into his arms. His lips chase yours when you move away. "I love you with everything that I am."
"I love you too, Seokjin."
With a couple of final parting words, you leave the safety of his arms. You let him go even though it pains you to see him walk away, but you know you'll be okay. You will listen to what he said and do the best that you can until he returns to you safe and sound.
You'll live.

Thunderstorms remind me of you
You who was there on the rainy days
Overpowering the dreary, mood
You sparked and brought light to the sky
I was afraid of you at first
But at some point, you became comforting to me
You were my Thunderstorm
There was a thunderstorm, outside. The clouds were rolling, the rain was pouring down accompanied by the flashes of lightning. Y/N was scared of storms since they were young. The flashes of lightning, the loud noises, and the howling wind all scared them...
But now they were at ease... Thunderstorms became pleasant for them since they met Namjoon; he was their knight in shining armor that protected them like a shield from the arrows of what they were so terrified of.
If it had been their younger self they would have run and hidden somewhere, turning herself into a ball waiting for all the commotions outside to stop. But now thunderstorms didnât scare them... it reminded them of his love .
Y/N was scared at first, questioning themself for getting into a relationship with a busy idol. But Namjoon reassured them and talked them out of all the insecure thoughts that plagued Y/N's mind. He was there for them all the times they were insecure, when they were questioning themself, or when they were stressing about work and Y/N was there for him when he was insecure about not being a perfect leader or a boyfriend, when he was not getting any inspiration to write or compose, or when he was stressed of everything happening in life. They were like two pieces of a puzzle that fitted each other perfectly to make a complete picture. They completed each other by filling each otherâs incompleteness.
Now they were both on their couch cuddling comfortably while Namjoon read a book aloud for Y/N to listen. They were both happy in each otherâs embrace, sharing their warmth, sharing their loveâŠ
@harrysperfectdimple prompt request #19 - "You're making me so fat and every time I complain you make me feel better by buying me more food."
Summary: Max just wants to make sure his girlfriend is eating properly and y/n is trying to maintain a "healthy" weight with an enabler boyfriend.
Themes/warnings: Unhealthy eating habits, distressed scenes about weight
Word count: 1.2k
Y/n loves food of all kinds, one of her favourite things to do while travelling with Max is try the new cuisines of whatever country they're visiting. Not always a luxury Max can indulge in since he has a diet he still has to try and stick to. But he does encourage y/n to eat as much as he can.
It's a habit of his that came as a result of their early dating life when y/n would "forget" to eat but really just put off eating for as much of the day so that when the last meal of the deal would come along she'd eat and then go to sleep to prevent any further eating. Obviously that was a concerning habit for Max to witness and he's worked to force her to break it.
For y/n it's come at a cost.
"Oh my god." Y/n gasps in a whisper to herself in horror actually feeling tears gather in her eyes as she sees how much weight she's gained. "Fucking hell."
Y/n sniffles deciding she'll have to dodge Max for the day since he's home.
So she finds some clothes that cover her body without feeling like she looks like a slob and gets herself out the bedroom finding Max already setting up on his simulator which is going to make her mission to disappear for the day especially easy.
"Hey, baby. You're dressed up. Are you going out?" Max asks with a smile since he's not on the simulator quite yet.
"Yeah, figured I'd run a few errands. Make use of a nice day. Might stop somewhere to eat." Y/n smiles lightly trying to make sure she plays off hiding her thoughts that are internally wrecking her already. "I'll see you later. Have fun."
"You too. Love you." Max smiles as she leans over and kisses him before standing up.
"Love you too."
-
Y/n's stomach was actually aching with hollowness from a day of actively avoiding food as she finally returns home nearly 9pm. She'd even taking herself to the gym for a 3 hour session to the point her whole body aches.
She just has to shower and then get herself to sleep.
"Hey, baby. Is that you?" Max asks appearing from the bathroom with a towel dangerously low on his hips and if she was feeling more confident in herself, she'd pounce on him. And he almost seems to be expecting exactly that as she stares at him for a moment.
"I uhh...I'm tired. I'm just gonna shower then head to bed." Y/n mumbles earning a small nod but she knows she's made a grave error.
Max is like a blood hound for sniffing out her off moods and she hardly even tried to hide it all. The lack if food making her mood completely out of her usual control.
Unsurprisingly Max follows her to the bathroom silently and hops up on the counter as she turns on the water and strips off. And he stays silent the whole time she showers while y/n completely avoids looking at him and rushes through the shower to try and just get herself to bed.
"You going to tell me what's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong. I'm just tired, it's been a long day and I've been busy. How was the races?" Y/n shrugs trying to dodge the issue entirely.
If Max clocks that she hasn't eaten, the whole effort for the day will be for nothing.
"Cuddle?" Y/n asks trying to soften the Dutchman who finally softens and smiles at the offer.
She's only hoping they can both fall asleep before her stomach starts making some wild noises. But she does make sure to put on a movie that is quite loud so that should hopefully mask any noises that do make her stomach known.
Thankfully the plan works but the next morning she pays the price and her stomach just aches while she feels so exhausted that she can't manage to drag herself out of bed even after realising that Max is already up and getting on with her day.
So she decides a day of bed rotting will be her choice of dodging food. Sadly for her Max has already clocked onto what she was doing yesterday and he appears ripping the blanket off of her with a determined aggression.
"Hey, what the hell? I don't feel well."
"I know you don't and you don't feel well because you haven't eaten in over a day and the fact that you thought I wouldn't notice is annoying." Max states coldly since he hates when she does this but he immediately softens when tears bring spring from her eyes. "Hey, what's wrong? Why are we having this conversation again?"
"You're making me so fat and every time I complain you make me feel better by buying me more food." Y/n hiccups while Max's eyes widen and he sits on the bed, gathering her body up to just hold her in his lap.
"Baby, what are you talking about you're not fat at all?" Max frowns while y/n sniffles.
"I weighed myself and I've put on 5 kilos, Max. That's not healthy and I see it-I have stretch marks on my thighs and my stomach and it's-"
"Stop it. Stop. Baby, you are so beautiful and I just want you to be healthy and eat because you need to eat." Max sighs shaking his head. "And I throwing them fucking scales away."
"Don't treat me like that. I'm not happy." Y/n mumbles while Max squeezes her a little.
"Baby, if you want to lose weight then you have to do it healthily. You can't just starve yourself." Max sighs and she hates him because she knows he's right but it's not any nicer to hear. "How about we just talk to a proper dietitian and nutritionist and Rupert can even get you working out with me and we'll find a healthy way for you to keep eating and to lose weight like you want-but you're not just losing weight till you dwindle away."
"Ok." Y/n mumbles with a small nod.
"Good girl. Now before we do all that. You are eating something. Healthy or not, you body needs food and that's why you don't feel good, and you're in a bad mood and you're unhappy."
"Fine." Y/n sighs before accepting a kiss while she smiles a little at the fact that she knows she's lucky to have a man who cares as much and in the way Max does. Even if she wishes he'd let her be unhealthy. She knows she does appreciate him being this way towards her. "Thank you."
"Anything for you, baby. I'm here to take care of you. I love you."
"I love you too, a lot."
"Now come on, I've got a bunch of food for you to choose from. I'll even spoon feed you."
