ꜰᴏʀᴛɴɪɢʜᴛ - Charles Leclerc

TWELVE - my boy only breaks his favorite toys

The screen had now changed towards the Ferrari garage, an anxious group of youthful adults with their headsets on, watching the race.

"And there's Arthur Leclerc and Vivian Lumière, both watching the race in the Ferrari garage." Kravitz stated.

"An anxious looking Vivian Lumière! The French-Lebanese woman had a minor injury during the close contact in the middle of the race, when leclerc and verstappen almost collided with each other. Sources at the garage say she bit her nail too hard! Causing her to bleed a bit."

"Ouch! That must've hurt."

"The bandaid on her thumb sure explains it."

"Okay charles, you are now .4 seconds behind verstappen, two more laps."

Charles' heart began racing again, the adrenaline filling all of his senses. Charles pressed as hard as he could on the engine, making a risky turn on sector 3.

Verstappen was right there. He was so close.

Charles swerved his car to the other side, accelerating in speed. He was catching up to verstappen. Fast.

".2 seconds."

"There we have it! Charles leclerc and verstappen on the verge of- and leclerc has overtaken verstappen! Leclerc is in the lead for the first time in the Monaco 2024 Grand Prix!" Crofty announced, the crowd growing wild.

Arthur and Vivian both hugged each other in excitement, their eyes still glued onto the screen.

"Hell yes!" Charles commed to Xavier.

"Good job Charles! Keep up the pace, he's still behind!"

Charles accelerated even more now, finishing off the race within 1.2 seconds in front of verstappen. His confidence at its peak.

"P1 charles, good race mate." Xavier spoke, "you got driver of the day as well, good job, you should be proud."

"WOOOOOOOO!" Charles cheered excitedly as he broadcasted the message, "THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH!" He waved to the crowd, all cheering for him as he spotted a huge cardboard cutout of his head, causing him to smile even more under his helmet.

Arthur and Vivian both made their way to the podiums, to celebrate Charles' victory. Both of their hands intertwined as to not get lost in the crowd.

"I told him he could do it!" Vivian yelled through the cheering of the crowds.

Flashback, Vivian's POV

I bit my lip as I ripped off a piece of paper from a random notebook. Grabbing the black pen that was right next to it.

I haven't seen charles all day, he was probably all cooped up discussing strategies with his team and doing interviews and what not.

Plus I didn't want to text him, where's the sincerity in that?

So why not give him a little motivation?

I began writing on the paper.

"You know you're good.
You know you can win.
And even if you don't,
You still have me"

I paused, then scribbled over it.

"You still have us, by your side. <3"

I put the pen down, went up to his car, and placed it on his seat.

End flashback

"What was that?" Arthur yelled back, causing me to look up at him.

"Oh, nothing!" I gave him a huge smile, making him smile back.

We both squeezed our way through the crowd, finally making it to the edge of the barriers. A very happy charles leclerc hugging the team, his smile intoxicatingly contagious.

Charles let go of the group of guys, turning his head to face our direction, jogging over to us and hugging Arthur and I.

"si fier de toi grand frère." Arthur said.

"Gonna be you someday." Charles patted his back as he let go of the both of us.

"See? No need to stress." I smiled, "you were amazing!" I added.

"Merci Vivian," charles sheepishly smiled as he looked down at his shoes for a split second, then looked back up at me. His dimples at bay.

Arthur patted his shoulder, pointing towards the podiums. "monte là-haut !"

Charles gave the both of us one last smile, walking up to the podium.

Il Predestinato.
