Wildest dreams || Charles Leclerc x Max Verstappen (lestappen)

With a little bit of help from my friends

Seb was shocked about Charles had told him a week ago, at first he wanted to go straight towards Mateo and talk to him , with his fist especially but obviously he couldn't. Also he wasn't a violent person per se, so that said a lot.

He understood why Charles did what he did, protecting Max. He could only imagine how terrified he was about the whole situation, afraid of being outed and the way Mateo went about it. Violating Charles physically like that. It was disgusting.

It was sickening, he had tried to convince Charles to talk to Max. To not leave him in the dark. But after Charles told him his reasons... he got why he didn't... at least for now...

Max had been through enough, the Dutch driver already put through enough backslash with the initial bad reaction to his coming out from his Father and Daniel. Though that all worked out in the end, he couldn't put him through that. He was finally confident in himself and in his sexuality, this would only take that away, and if he didn't do this Max would be outed in the worst way imaginable. The video left nothing to the imagination. It getting out would kill him, he just couldn't let it happen and watch from the sideline.

Even though Seb understood he couldn't help but plot a plan to get the couple back together in one room. A room that wasn't surrounded by cameras and formula one personnel. The young couple made him think about himself and Hanna, together from a young age and doing everything for the other. He couldn't bare to see two young souls who respectively went through enough be ripped apart because of some asshole! It wasn't going to be easy, and he wouldn't be able to fix this, to fix them. But he hoped with this plan they at least get a bit closer and then he only hoped they figure things out together.

As Charles had told him Pierre knew he was quick to reach out to the French driver. He had picked up the phone a bit surprised by the germans call. Never really speaking outside of the paddock. When he told him he knew they were quick to meet up in the Germans hotel room. They were quickly coming up with a plan. The only problem was to get Max to come. So they only saw one option. To get one of Max's friends involved. They weighed their options and ultimately decided that Martijn would be their best option for getting their plan to work.

As Pierre still had Martijns number saved from that weekend in Ibiza he was the one that send him a text. Asking if he could call him right now. Having no idea in what Timezone the dutchman was at the moment. He got a text only ten minutes later, luckily because of lockdown Martijn was just in the studio in the Netherlands and able to call in a hour.

Exactly one hour later Pierre called Martijn.

'Hey, how have you been?' The Frenchman asked as he opened their conversation.
'Yeah I've been well, lockdown made that i actually have some more time with my family which is nice' he replied as he asked how Pierre was.

'But as much as I like to catch up, to what do I owe your phone call Pierre?' The Dutch dj asked.
Pierre sighed, not sure if Martijn knew anything at all about the breakup.

'Have you talked to Max lately?' He asked carefully.
'I have texted with him a bit?' Martijn said questioning. 'Oh god? Has something happend to Max?, is he, is he okay?' The dutchman asked.
'No , no he is okay...sort off' Pierre was quick to calm down Martijn.
'Oh your calling about that... Max told me yeah...' Martijn replied. It's not that he had a problem with Pierre at all, but he was of course one of Charles's best friends, and god he was so mad at the monegasque!

'But why are you calling Pierre?'
'I- we need your help...'
'Who is we?' Martijn asked curiously
'Me and seb, Sebastian you know?'
'Vettel?, why?'Martijn asked
'Well, we want to help Max and Charles'
Martijn snorted in a reply to that. 'Help Max of course, but why would I wanna help Charles?' Martijn said bitterly.
Martijn had loved Charles as his own friend ever since he got to know about their relationship , texting every once in a while even without Max. But after he heard Max cry his eyes out over the phone he was done with him.

'Please Martijn, you've got to trust me, it's not what it seems' he tried to convince the dutchman.
'How is that Pierre? As I see it Max took his boyfriend, the love of his life to cheer him up cause apparently his car is a shit box. Then Charles goes with him , still not stopping him with all the sweet things he is doing for him. And then all of a sudden he just tells him that they should just break up and leaves him there without answers, he cries is hard out to me, to his trainer, god he even thought that his dad was behind all this. But because he is so crazy about that boy he tries to talk to him, just asking for answers only to be told that he never really knew him at all?! And then to find out he breached protocol to go out partying with his friends while there is a fucking pandemic?! I don't know how that looks to you Pierre but that doesn't sound like Charles is interested in making up' Martijn sounded furious now.

'I-I know' Pierre sighed. 'It looks really bad, but I wouldn't ask for your help if it wasn't important' as he heard Martijn sigh at the other end of the line.

'I don't know Pierre... what if it doesn't work out? Max doesn't need to feel betrayed by yet another person, he's been through enough.'

'I know that, I know, but it isn't what it seems' he tried again.

'You keep saying that, but what does that even mean?' Martijn questions him.

'I - I can't tell you, not over the phone... but I will when you get here, I promise!' Pierre felt bad that they had to go behind Charles's back. But he and Seb felt like it was the only way to get things moving.

'Ok-okay I'll come' Martijn gave in with an unsure sigh. 'I can make next race weekend is that okay?'

'Yeah - yeah that's perfect!' Pierre chirped happily.
After that they made plans before they bid their goodbyes.

'And? Sebastian questioned Pierre, eying him curiously.
'Martijn is coming next weekend! he then wants an explanation but he wants to help!'
'Good!' The German driver smiled. 'Just hope this will work...'
