MASTERLIST // HITLIST
Tumblr media
~~(@/Arthur's insta from January 29, 2023)
It was a normal day in Monaco. It was not a race week, and there were no pressing matters to attend. I had just returned to Monaco last week after attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, but I just received my Bachelor's degree and wanted to return home before starting my Master's. I decided to take my first semester online, so I could go home and spend time with my family.
When I got back, my parents urgently began to train me for the throne even though I was not next in line. Despite having an older brother who was scheduled to become the King of Monaco after my parents, he had to serve in the military before he could move forward. They wanted to have me prepare in the event that something happened to him in battle. 
I had never really been in the public eye due to my brother being the next in line. He was always the one attending meetings, trainings, and keeping up appearances. I was free to do as I pleased for the most part, but in 2015, they sent me to a training school in London. It taught the basics of monarchy and the foundations of how to run a country. It was the same one my brother attended. Even in my spare time, I found my passion in mechanical engineering and aerodynamics. It took some persuasion, but my parents allowed me to attend MIT after my graduation because they were so sure that I would not be needed. My brother is in the final stages of the training. All he needed to do was finish the last few months of military training, and then he would be crowned. 
Upon my return, I learned that my mother was ill, so they wanted to get my brother crowned quickly. However, they practically had to start from square one since I was provided very minimal training in London. My father was furious, not at me, but at the situation they had been placed in. They told me the best thing I could do while they prepare the training is to memorize Monaco as it had been nearly seven years since I had been here. 
I was walking down the pier, looking at all of the little shops that lined the pavement and the boats at the dock. There was a small ice cream shop, a couple of clothing stores, a few restaurants, and a salon. I realized that I had not had my hair professionally done since before college, so I thought it would be a good idea to treat myself.
“Bonjour, comment puis-je vou aider? (Hello, how can I help you?)” A lady greeted me as I stepped through the door. It was a small shop, no one else was in there, but it was cute and welcoming other than the fact that I could not remember French for the life of me.
“I’m sorry, my French is no good,” I replied sheepishly, fully prepared to leave, but the woman stopped me.
“Oh, not a problem, dear. My name is Pascale, what can I help you with?” She smiled, kindly, leading me over to one of the chairs. 
“Well, I haven’t gotten my hair done in almost four years, so I think it’s time to freshen up,” I explained. 
“Oh perfect, I can most certainly help with that,” She laughed, placing an apron around my shoulders. “Are you thinking about dye, highlights, trim, cutting…” She started listing more but I couldn't follow along with all of the terminology. 
“Uh, probably just a trim,” I chuckled, “my parents would kill me if I showed up with short, dyed hair.”
“Not a problem at all,” she grinned and began cutting the ends, little by little, as we made small conversations. “What do you do for work?”
“I actually don’t have a job at the moment,” technically, “but I just came back from the United States. I was at MIT for the last four years, getting my bachelors in mechanical engineering and aerodynamics, and before that, I attended boarding school in London.”
“That’s interesting,” she hummed, “Sounds like you like Formula 1?”
“Not so much the races. I just like the cars,” I laughed in response. “I like learning what could make the cars better, faster, stronger, and safer, but the actual races aren't something for me. I watched one too many accidents end badly, so I can never find enjoyment in it anymore. The last race I went to was in Japan, and I lost my best friend.”
“Oh, I’m sorry about that, dear. If you ever need to talk, I’m here,” Pascale consoled. I looked at her confused through the mirror. She just set the scissors down just as her phone got a notification. She pulled out her phone and opened the notification. It was a text message with a picture. “That is my son, Charles, and his best friend, Pierre. They’re in Formula 1. They went out karting today, and he just sent me this.”
“Oh, Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly! I know them,” I recognized immediately. “That’s your son?”
“Yeah, he’s always had this passion for driving, so I’m proud to see him living his dreams,” She smiled, putting her phone back, and resumed cutting my hair.
“Well, I’m proud of him too, and I don’t even know him.” I laughed. 
“Maybe, if you’d ever change your mind, you could join us for a race,” Pascale offered. “Only if you’re up for it.”
“I’ll have to see, but probably not,” I declined nervously. 
“It’s not a problem, dear,” She said, patting my shoulders. “But you are all done. How do you like it?”
My hair was shorter by a couple of inches, but it felt so much lighter and healthier than it did earlier today. “I love it so much, Pascale! Thank you so much! How much do I owe you?”
“Nothing, just promise you’ll think about joining us? It would do you some good to get to know more people, and you could even check out the cars before the race! If you’re not comfortable staying for the race, you can always leave. Just promise you’ll think about it before immediately rejecting it?” She pleaded.
“Fine, I’ll think about it,” I laughed, “but only because you were so persuasive!”
The next time I was out in the streets was nearly a week later. My time was being packed with different trainings and attending private events, but nothing public yet so as to not stir up controversy. I decided to go to a local bakery and get some tea and some food. The food in the castle just did not compare to my favorite bakery. Not by a long shot. 
When I walked in, there were not a lot of people in there. It was a small shop with only two tables and a counter. There was the person behind the counter, Ella, and three people at the tables. One sat by himself and the other two occupied the second table. I approached Ella and ordered a tea and sandwich. She said she would bring it right over once it was finished, and I approached the man sitting by himself.
“Bonjour,” I greeted, my French was slowly coming back to me but not enough to carry a full conversation. The man looked up from his phone at me. He had blue eyes and shady blonde hair. He had airpods in and took one out as I approached the table. “My name is Y/n. Would it be alright if I sit with you? The other table is filled.”
 “Of course,” He responded immediately, moving the bag that was hanging on the other chair to the floor. “I’m Arthur.”
“Nice to meet you, Arthur. Thank you for letting me sit with you,” I laughed, taking the seat that he pulled out for me. “I really appreciate that.”
“It’s my pleasure,” He chuckled along, “It was just empty anyway.”
~
That was the start of an inseparable bond. It was strange having someone so close again because even though I had some friends in school, they were never as close as Arthur was. For the first couple of months, any time that was not filled with training was spent with each other. Whether it be chilling in his apartment, driving around Monaco, boat rides, and random trips around France and Italy, we were content with doing random acts of entertainment. It didn’t take long before he asked me to be his girlfriend.
One thing we knew would be difficult is the time commitments. With his recent change from Formula 3 to Formula 2 and more royal training for me, we knew it was going to be more time-consuming. That didn’t stop us, however. Tuesdays were the most random day of the week, but neither of us had any responsibilities.
One day in particular, the day before he was set to go to Australia, we were at his apartment, and I was helping him pack since he *conveniently* forgot. We had gone to get smoothies and acai bowls earlier that morning before heading to his apartment. Then, after we ate, we put on some music as background noise while we packed and conversed back and forth.
“Would you ever come to a race with me?” He asked as he pulled a couple of shirts out of his closet. “I know you didn’t have a good experience at the last one, but would you be willing to give it another time?”
“I don’t know, A. I get anxiety just knowing you’re racing,” I explained. Moving to fold the shirts he’s pulling out. 
“That sound like an improvement!” He laughed, jumping over and wrapping his arms around my shoulders as I put the folded clothes in the suitcase. “When we first started talking, you said no immediately. Now, you’re saying you don’t know.”
“What can I say?” I leaned back into his embrace, “You are pretty persuasive.”
“What are the chances of you coming to the Monaco Grand Prix with me?”
“The odds are in your favor since I don’t go anywhere,” I laughed in response. He turned me around in his arms. He was pouting and had his head tilted slightly. “No, don’t do the puppy face. You know I can’t say no to that face.”
“Please?”
With a heavy sigh and a joking eye roll, I caved. I was about to vocalize my decision, but my phone started ringing. This time, my sigh was out of annoyance after seeing it was from Mila, my personal guard and trainer.  “I need to answer that, but yes, I promise to go to the Monaco Grand Prix with you.”
“Of course,” He exclaimed, kissing me all over my face. “I will take care of everything. You go take the call, and I’ll finish packing in here.”
With a small smile, I walked out of his bedroom to the living room and stepped out onto the balcony before answering the phone. “Hi, Mila. What did I forget?”
“Nothing, but are you near the palace?” She responded. Just the tone of her voice made me nervous.
“Not really, I’m about 20 minutes away. Do I need to head back?” 
“Yes, let me know when you get here.” And with that, she hung up. I walked back in to see Arthur with his suitcase fully packed by the door.
“I need to head home,” I started. “Something’s not right.”
“That’s fine,” He reassured, pulling me into a hug. “I’ll need to head out for my flight soon anyway, so I’ll walk you to your car.” 
During the drive back, my mind wandered. Was there a meeting I missed? I couldn’t remember having anything scheduled on a Tuesday. Most meetings were on Mondays or Wednesdays and policy training sessions were Thursdays and Fridays. Maybe there was a last-minute meeting.
Pulling through the gates, I texted Mila once I parked in our car park, and a few guards were waiting for me. “Hi, what did I miss?”
“Y/n, we need to talk,”  one of the guards, Chris, said, and right then, I knew things were worse than I thought. We walked through the corridors to reach one of the meeting rooms, but the only person in there was Mila. The guards immediately turned around and left the room.
“Mila-”
“Have a seat,” She cut me off, gesturing to the seat next to her. I took it hesitantly as I looked at her skeptically. “So, I’m not going to beat around the bush with this. As you know, your mother, the queen, was sick.”
“I assume she died then? That’s what this was for?” I cut her short. However, there was something on her face that said she wasn’t finished. “Okay, I’ll let you continue.”
She shook her head dismissively, “No, it’s fine, but you’re right. She passed away early this morning.”
“So my brother will be crowned when he comes back?”
“That’s the next news,” Mila paused. I encouraged her to just rip the bandaid off because I was getting impatient. “Your father went to the base to get your brother, but there was an explosion. There was a gas leak, and somehow the building they were in exploded. We’re still waiting on the details.”
“Wait, so my entire family…” I trailed off, but she knew where I was going. She just nodded solemnly as she pulled me into her side. “So that means…”
“It means you are to be the queen.”
~
Third POV
Ever since the Melbourne Grand Prix, Arthur has been talking about how his girlfriend was going to join him on the paddock for the Monaco Grand Prix. To say that his friends and brothers teased him would be putting it lightly. Any chance they could, they asked questions about this “girlfriend” of his that they had never heard of, and Arthur was willing to spill all of the details. On the Thursday before the Monaco Grand Prix when he was driving to the track with Charles, he accidentally let it slip that he actually had not heard from her recently. He asked Charles to check his phone to see if she had texted him recently.
“Wait, you haven't heard from her in over a month and you’re not at all worried?” Charles asked, very concerned for someone he’s never met.
“No, we’ve definitely texted recently,” Arthur responded in disbelief. When they pulled up to a red light, Charles showed him that the last message from her was April 1. “No, we’ve definitely talked.”
“Here, pull over. We’ll switch, so you can call her, and I’ll drive us the rest of the way to the track,” Charles said, already getting out of the car as soon as they were on the shoulder. He immediately dialed her number, and after a few rings, it went to voicemail. He thought about leaving her a voice message, but she was already calling him back before he could start.
“Hey, traffic is hideous, but I’m almost there,” She started her explanation. She was sitting in the backseat with a couple of guards, and Mila as her driver took them to the track. “Are you already there?”
“No, we’re not there yet,” he laughed. “Charles and I are still stuck in traffic, but we noticed that I hadn’t messaged you since the Australian Grand Prix. Thought I would call to see if you were still coming.” Charles was half listening to the conversation, but he was smiling to himself, hearing how lovestruck his younger brother sounded.
“Oh, definitely,” She chuckled. Mila nudged the girl with a knowing grin. “I’ve just been insanely busy recently, but I promised. On the bright side, I finished my training!”
“No way, I’m so proud of you, ma chéri!” Arthur cheered. Charles was a little confused as he pulled into the track, but let it go, knowing Arthur would explain it later. “Does that mean there will be a ceremony or something?”
“You could call it a ceremony, yes,” She giggled. She noticed that they were only a few blocks away from the car park of the track, so she turned her phone away toward her shoulder as she directed a question to Mila, “Could I jump out and meet up with Arthur before the race? I promise I’ll be careful, and I’ll be in the box before it starts.” Mila turned to discuss it with one of the guards who was entirely against it. “Please, I won’t leave Arthur’s side, and you know he’s trustworthy.”
“I won’t let her out of my sight, Mila!” Arthur’s voice could be heard through the phone despite it not being on speaker. She gestured to the phone at her shoulder as Mila tried to reason with the guard.
“I’ll go with you,” Mila said as she started collecting their passes and jumping out of the car that was stopped in the traffic going into the parking lot. Y/n immediately climbed out of the back, pulling her phone back up to her ear.
“Alright, Arthur, where do you want us to meet you?”
~~
First POV
“You seem to have gotten shorter since Melbourne,” I laughed as I ran into Arthur’s arms from where he was waiting at the Dams garage. 
“You’re wearing heels,” he pointed out after we pulled away. “What are you and what have you done with my girlfriend?”
“You say that like you don’t like me in heels,” I teased back.
“Ok, lovebirds,” Mila pulled our attention away from each other, “I am going to head up to our seats. Don’t tell anyone I left.”
“Your secret’s safe with me. Thank you, Mila,” I responded as she started walking away.
“You have seats?” Arthur asked.
“Yeah, I didn’t want to rely on you for the passes for Mila, so she bought us hospitality seats,” I explain. It wasn’t the whole truth, but I could not just tell him that in the open. “Is it possible to talk somewhere away from the cameras?”
“You’re not breaking up with me, right?” He immediately jumped to conclusions.
“No, no, no, no,” I quickly shut down. “Je t’aime trop pour partir, mon amour. I just want to tell you something. (I love you too much to leave, my love)”
“Je t’aime, ma belle, (I love you, my beauty)” He whispered, pulling me in for a light kiss before leading me back towards the driver’s room he shares with Ayumu. “Make yourself comfortable.”
I took a seat on one of the beanbags as Arthur sat right next to me. I took a deep breath before deciding the best way to tell him was just to say it fast. “Arthur, I need to tell you about my family.”
“Are you trying to have me meet your family already? You could meet my brothers and maman today if you want,” He rambled.
“I can meet them, but you won’t be able to meet my family. That day you left for Australia was the day I found out they passed away.” I paused looking at his reactions. He looked sorrowful as he grasped my hands and ran his thumbs across the backs of my hands. “Maman had an illness, and papa went to get my brother from the base.”
“Your brother’s in the military?” He asked.
“Was,” I answered. He looked even more confused at that before I continued. “He was serving in the military as his last stage of training. Kind of like my trainings, he had to serve in the military.”
“What kind of training did you need to do? Was this part of your degree or something?”
“No, that’s the big secret I haven’t been able to tell you,” I whispered, putting my head down as I felt guilty for not explaining this sooner.
“Anything you have to say, I will accept you either way,” He reassured me as he pulled me into his chest and kissed my head. “I understand that you have your reasons for hiding some things, so whatever this is, it is not going to stop me from loving you.”
“What if it is complex with more spotlight than you already have?” I asked, throwing my head to rest on his shoulder and looking into his blue eyes. “What if it’s a big change?”
“When we go public, it will be a big change, but I’m willing to do anything for you, ma princesse.”
“Reine, (Queen)” I whispered.
“Quoi? (What)” He responded just as fast.
“What if I told you my parents were the king and queen of Monaco? And my older brother was the prince of Monaco? And now that they’re gone, I will be the queen of Monaco? What would you do?” 
He went silent for a few seconds before whispering, “Are you serious?” My silence was enough of an answer for him to jump up, pulling me with him as he starts laughing and spinning us in circles. He set me down after a couple of spins before holding me at arm's length,  “I would completely understand. I mean you probably didn’t plan on taking the throne because of your brother, and you’d just come back from studying. I only tell people who need to know, and when we met, I wasn’t someone who needed to know. We haven't talked since you found out, so I could never be upset with something like that.”
“But now, if we tell people, you will be heavily scrutinized as people will see you as a potential king,” I signed, happy to know he isn’t upset with me, but still wanting him to see all sides before completely agreeing to move forward. “You’d have more on your list.”
“The only question I would have is if it would interfere with racing,” He turned serious.
“I would never let them keep you from your passions,” I laughed. “They have to respect it by order of the queen.”
“Well, then I would see no issues against continuing to be by your side, ma reine,” he chuckled with a mocking bow.
“Merci mon beau prince, (Thank you my handsome prince)” I mocked back, “now by order of the queen, go win this race.”
~~
“And Arthur Leclerc passes Fredrik Vesti in the final turn of the race,” Crofty shouted over the radio during the final lap of the race. I was up in the hospitality seats with Mila and the guards but headed down to the pitlane a couple of laps before since I was going to be presenting the trophies. I was standing at the pit wall with Charles, Lorenzo, and Pascale, who I met (again) just before the race. “The Monaco Curse is broken for Arthur Leclerc as he wins his first Monaco Grand Prix!”
 I left the pit wall to meet everyone at the podium and stopped to meet up with Mila on my way over. She and the guards escorted me through the crowds. “I’ll tell you now, one of you will need to tell Arthur not to out our relationship when I give him his trophy.”
At the podium, I stood behind the steps as Alice announces the winners. “In third place, we have Théo Pourchaire! In second place, we have Frederik Vesti! And in first place, breaking the Monaco Curse, the home favorite, Arthur Leclerc! Presenting the trophies today is the future Queen of Monaco, Y/n.”
“I’m proud of you,” I said to Arthur as I handed him the trophy.
“Merci, now if only Charles could win,” He joked, taking the trophy and posing with it.
“I’ll tell him you’re talking crap about him,” I teased back, moving away to grab the next trophy for Dams. I handed them all out and expressed my congratulations to the other two drivers before posing for the picture and immediately ducking back as I knew Arthur would try to spray me. I walked down the stairs to meet up with Charles before he heads back to Ferrari for his own race. “Arthur’s talking shit about you. You better win.”
“I’m starting sixth, so we have hope,” Charles responded as he rolled his eyes.
“Just don’t box for hards at the last lap again and you’ll be fine,” I laughed as if it were really that simple. 
“Maybe I broke the curse for both of us or maybe I just had some good luck today,” Arthur said, coming up behind us and throwing his arm around my shoulders.
“Oh yeah, what good luck did you have?” Charles teased, punching Arthur into me.
“Maybe just the future queen of Monaco.”

Could you write something about spending Christmas with Arthur Leclerc ??
yes !!11!!1!1!
arthur leclerc x reader MASTERLIST
synopsis; you spend christmas with your boyfriend for the first time in your new apartment
warnings; none
“Just one more bauble.” You whine, watching Arthur’s face screw up to confusion.
“Booble? Baauble?” His accent comes out, not understanding how to pronounce the word.
“Bauuble. Here, hang the last one.” You giggled, handing the reflective silver ornament his way.
He hung it up on the emerald green tree, embellished in silver and red shining orbs.
"Ooh, we're nearly finished amour. Only the star left!" You stepped back slightly, admiring the star.
You felt two hands wrap around both of your calves, sending a sudden shock to your system as you were lifted into the air.
"Arth!" You squealed out, being placed gently on his shoulders.
"You have to get up there one way or another." He replied smoothly, cracking a smile.
You gently placed the star on top, pulling the whole thing together perfectly. Arthur walked back slowly, as you looked down to be met with his smiling face. It was short lived as his strong arms came up to take you off his shoulders abruptly, thinking you were going to fall until he caught you.
"I think we did a magnificent job." He spoke softly, as you were both looking into each others eyes.
You leant into each other slowly, lips moulding together for a quick kiss.
You spent the rest of the evening snuggled in thick knitted blankets, paired with frothy hot chocolates.
A/N; fully aware this req was sent very long ago and not in time for Christmas pahaha , VERY SORRY!

If anyone says there’s no such thing as the Leclerc curse at Monaco clearly is delusional!
Let’s break the weekend so far down:
Arthur crashes in qualifying, and putting him in the back of the pack for the sprint and feature race
Charles gets a 3 place grid penalty for impeding Lando after qualifying 3rd, now starting 6th
Arthur in the feature race was making up places and cutting the gap to then having to retire due to losing his brakes
Let’s hope that like all bad things they come in 3 and that’s it for the weekend and Charles can have a clean race!

Racing Stripes, Chapter 30
Word Count:  1.3k
Warnings: none really
Tumblr media
“Hey…”
Checo looked up from the water, wiping away the tears that had gathered on his cheeks.  It was the last race of the season, and while he knew that there was a lot going his way, there was far too much that had been going on against him. 
“Bebe…”
“Why are you crying?” she asked softly, walking up to him.  He gave her a soft frown, and it was like everything was both said and understood in those few simple words.  She bit her lip and sat down next to him, her feet dangling above the water.  She reached across and took his hand in her own, “It will be okay, Sergio…”
“Why are you still here, Bebe?”
“I’m here for you,” she sighed, knowing that he needed her more than anyone else, “I-I told the stewards that I wasn’t going to be at the choosing ceremony, and that if anyone chose me for the break I was rejecting them.”
He felt his breath catching in his throat, “Bebe…wh-why would you do that?”
“You’re more important,” she pointed out, lifting up his hand.  She kissed the back of his knuckles and put his hand over her heart, “you are so much more important to me than this job, Checo.  And I saw the way you looked when the race was over for you…I know how much everything with your ex-wife and the kids are affecting you.  You’re more important.”
Checo felt relief wash over him.
Over the past season with all of the drama building up within the divorce, with everything going on between his relationship with his kids and the failing of the relationship with his ex-wife, with the races never quite coming out in his favor, he’d started to feel isolated. 
His only upsides were that Redbull had picked him up from Racing Point, dropping Albon, and that he’d had Bebe in his corner. 
“Come home with me…”
Checo raised his brow and looked up at Bebe in confusion, “what?”
“I know that you’re letting your ex-wife keep the house, so the kids aren’t shuffled around…and I know that you haven’t even considered a place to stay at during break,” she pointed out, “come stay with me.”
“Y-you’re from Australia,” he said with a shake of his head, “Courtney…I couldn’t do that.  I have to be near my kids.  I have to stay in Mont-“
“I bought a place in Monte Carlo,” she admitted, “last year, me and a few of the girls had been talking about it, and I pulled the trigger.  I have a flat to myself…well, I mean…it wouldn’t be just me if you agreed to stay with me.”
Another sigh of relief.
“Y-you want me to stay with you?”
“I do…” she nodded, “and as far as your kids go…we’ll figure something out, Checo…I want to help you with this however you’ll let me.  Even if we don’t end up together.  You’re an amazing man, and I want to be there any way I can for you.”
“Thank you…”
“It’ll be okay, Sergio!” she promised, pressing a sweet, soft kiss to his temple, “well figure this out.”
“Together?” he asked gently.
She nodded, “yeah…together.”
Tumblr media
“Hey…he-he’s not worth your time.”
“Oh shut up, Arthur,” Zayana sighed, lightly pushing the youngest Leclerc back as he nudged her, “it’s probably all your fault anyways.”
“What?  How?”
“I had a feeling he didn’t know I was a motorsports girl,” she sighed, shaking her head, “i-I mean, we never talked about it, but I never corrected him.  I never had to worry about a Leclerc before you.  You and your brother are just-”
“What…” he taunted cheekily, “me and Lorenzo are what?”
“Nothing…” she sighed, shaking her head, “you’re a constant at this point in time.  I know enough to know that.  I’m never going to get rid of you am I?”
“Too late to return me,” he teased, “you’ve had me as putty in your hands since day one.”
She shook her head at him once more, wiping away the tears, “you’re horrible, Arthur!”  
Arthur smiled, his eyes lighting up at the mention of himself in her life, “you know…it’s probably for the best.  I’m the only Leclerc that truly matters anyways.  Sure, Charles is always in the spotlight, and Lorenzo’s been backing his career the whole time, but I’m flying high on my own.”
“Because no one else’s ego could fit in the room with you.”
He chuckled, knowing that she was being playful with him.  He smiled, pulling her closer to himself as the two sat on the edge of the water.  There was a comfortable silence between the pair as they watched the nightlife of Abu Dhabi, the vivid colors looking like a painting.
“You know…this almost feels like the good old days.”
She snorted, unable to hold back her giggles as she looked at him, “the good old days?”
He bit his lip as he nodded, looking at her, “yeah…just us running away from the world, ending up on piers watching the nightlife from the outside.  Enjoying the quiet calm of the world together.  Our souls finding comfort in the beauty around us.”
“When did you get so deep?”
His smile faltered ever so slightly as he thought about it, “maybe when you got with Mick…and I went to another-“
“Arthur, stop…”
He frowned at how she had cut him off, “we have to talk about it, you know.  At some point in time anyways.”
“Why?” She asked softly, “things were going just fine.  You were consoling me over your oldest brother ghosting me.  We were back to being good friends without any emotions other than being one another’s rock.  It was all falling back into place.”
“Well maybe this was meant to fall back into place as well then?”
“Arthur-“
“Mon petit,” he whispered softly, looking into her eyes, “please…just-don’t fight this…we both know the feelings we have for one another.  We both know the chemistry we have together.  That doesn’t just fade away despite what you and Schumacher had.”
“These types of things don’t work out, Arthur,” she sighed sadly as he reached out and laced their fingers.  She looked sadly at his hand, fingers laced with hers, before her eyes met his own sad chocolate ones, “Arth-“
“Mon Coeur.”
She sighed, shaking her head, “We-we can’t do this again, Arthur.  Not-“
“Paris…”
“Huh?”
“I-I planned on spending my break in Paris.”
“What about Monte Carlo?”
“What about it?”
“You love being home with family and friends during the break,” she reminded him softly, “that’s always been your place to unwind.”
“I want to unwind with you, mon petit.”
Her eyes met his once more, and she went to shake her head, but his free hand reached up and stroked her cheek, brushing away the ringlets from her face.  Tucking them behind her ear, she whimpered, and his hand caressed her jaw.
“A-aren’t you going to kiss me?” she whimpered after another second of the two of them just staring into one another’s eyes. 
The smallest of smirks played on his lips, and he leaned forward, their noses brushing against one another’s.  She sighed, her eyes fluttering shut at how soft he was with her. 
Trademark Arthur. 
He was a flirt, but he was always tender with her. 
“I want to kiss you at the top of the Eiffel tower,” he said softly, “not on a pier in Abu Dhabi…”
She shuddered, knowing the underlying words. 
He wanted to kiss her on top of the Eiffel tower.
He wanted to make love to her under the stars on the rooftop of her flat.
He wanted to recreate their first break together.
“Arthur…”
His lips grazed over hers, “mon Coeur.”
“Come home with me!” she begged, her resolve diminished as her eyes fluttered open once more and met with his own, “make me forget everyone but you...”
“Of course, mon Coeur.” He nodded, and their lips met in a soft kiss, as she held tightly to his hand, their fingers still laced together, “it’s only us!”
