    Summary

    “Maybe next week Max will let you win,” Tom jokes.

    Charles chuckles a little, but looks even more uncomfortable than he did before.

    Max, still riding on his anger from Charles admitting Ferrari are upset with him, raises the microphone.

    “That is not funny,” he says, barely restraining himself from unleashing his anger on Tom.

    If he doesn’t put a stop to this now, people will always speculate. They will always wonder: did Max let Charles pass? Did Charles go wide on purpose? Are they going easy on each other? Are they sharing team secrets?

    “What, you think that because I love him that I would just let him pass by me? You do not know anything about our relationship, and you clearly do not know anything about me if you think that I would do this. If I let anybody win, I would not deserve my seat in F1. This joke is stupid, and it is insulting.”

     

    or: following their very public trackside and podium kisses, Max and Charles deal with the consequences of their coming out. They knew things would be difficult; but they didn't really expect the many, many ways it would change their lives.

    Summary

    “I’m just surprised.” Baz starts over. “I’m just surprised you want to. Touch me. Casually.”

    Snow puts down his mug. “Do you want me to stop?” he says.

    Baz doesn’t know what to say. He turns up his hands, wishing again for something to fill them with. He can feel his shirt sticking to his back. “I don’t know,” he says, miserably. “I just think I have a lot of baggage. Significantly more baggage than I first supposed.”

    “You’re a whole fucking carousel,” Snow suggests.

    Baz laughs, startled. The quality of the laugh startles him right along with its cause. It’s not his drunken laugh, nor his made-for-TV laugh, which flashes all his teeth and emerges in tailored syllables. This laugh reminds him of Penny’s. He wonders if it’s his real one. He wonders why it feels so unfamiliar.

    “You can touch me,” he says.
