Watching the race earlier, Y/N knew that Charles would be stressed and disappointed in himself and hearing the door slam from her bedroom confirmed that. Charles had text her earlier that day once the race was over that he'd be coming straight to her apartment instead of her going to his as they usually did after a race weekend. Charles barged into her bedroom, bags still hung on his shoulders, with a sad smile on his face. "Bonjour mon amour," He muttered. Y/N clambered over the bed and stood in front of him, caressing his cheek with a gentle smile on her face, "Charles," Her lips ghosted over his before pressing a light kiss upon them, "Hello, my love." Charles dropped his bags from his shoulders and sat down on the edge of the bed pulling Y/N down beside him with a tug of her wrist. He lay back on the bed with Y/N laying her head comfortably on her chest. "Don't worry about the race."
"It was awful. I came last. At my home grand prix! It's like I'm destined to never finish a grand prix in Monaco."
"Charles Leclerc, don't think like that. One day you will win the Monacan Grand Prix." Y/N gave him a kiss on his chest before sitting up and giving his thigh a gentle slap, "C'mon." She stood up and walked over to the closet in her room. Charles sat up with furrowed eyebrows and a confused expression covered his face, "What?" Y/N turned around to face him armed with blankets and a wide smile on her face, "We're making a blanket fort!" She pulled Charles up by his hand and indicated for him to follow her and with a quiet chuckle, he did so.
Y/N threw down the blankets onto the living room settee, "We need pillows and duvets and more blankets and ... do you think we could carry the mattress in here?" Charles gazed upon her with a small smile etched on his face and gave a shake of his head in amusement as Y/N hurried around the apartment gathering her supplies. He was shaken back to reality by Y/N shouting from the bedroom, "Charles, can you help me?" Charles entered the bedroom only to laugh at the sight; Y/N had half dragged the mattress off the bed and was struggling to lift it in order to get it into the living room. Between the two of them, they eventually dragged the mattress into the centre of the living room and covered it with blankets and pillows and the duvets.
It was fair to say that the blanket fort wasn't really much of a fort and more of a comfortable bed in the living room. They had stacked the pillows against the settee to make a makeshift headboard and it was there that the two of them sat comfortably in each other's arms. "I'm hungry." Charles moaned after a few minutes of sitting in silence.
"Let's have a cheat evening!" Y/N's head shot up from Charles' chest with a large smile present on her face as if the thought of eating so much unhealthy food was too tempting for her to resist. "I'll order pizza and it'll be so good!" She unlocked her phone and opened UberEats ordering a large margarita pizza and some delicious treats for them to enjoy afterwards. "It'll be here soon."
"Good that leaves me enough time to do this." Before Y/N could ask, Charles had pressed soft kisses to her lips, wrapping his arms around her waist to hold to as close as possible to his body. Time seemed to pass at the speed of light as within no time there was a knock at the door, and they were devouring their pizza while sat in their makeshift fort. "This is so good. It's been a while since I've had a good take away pizza." Y/N moaned in agreement while munching on a slice of pizza.
"Aye, come back here." Charles whined when Y/N stood up from the mattress to bring the pizza box into the kitchen.
"I'm just putting this in the kitchen. I don't want all the crumbs getting on my blankets." Y/N walked back to the fort and lifted the duvet to allow herself and Charles to climb under it and cuddle closer to each other. Y/N snuggled impossibly closer to Charles, nuzzling her face into the crook of his neck and sighing in content as Charles wrapped his arms around her and pressed kisses to her head. "I love you."
"I love you too." It was simple moments like this that made up for all the time they spent apart that only allowed their love for each other to grow stronger. It felt as though Y/N got butterflies every time Charles confessed his love to her and she could never restrict the smile from flooding her face.
"Can we stay like this forever?" Y/N mumbled into Charles chest as she drew lines and patterns on his abdomen with her finger, feeling him shiver involuntary at her touch.
"Hmm," Charles hummed, "don't see why not." With a small smile, Y/N felt her eyes get heavy as the two of them fell into a peaceful slumber in their makeshift blanket fort.
