[timetorace]

butttt a little request for when ur back in ur groove and things r smooth is playing wordle w charles😭 i feel like it would b chaotic and competitive and then he’d complain that he doesn’t know english words 💀

𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞

Hi anon! Thank u so much for waiting. I tried my best. I must confess I didn´t know wordle but I tried to dig in so I could write a proper drabble for you. Hope you like it, Now, WHY IS THIS EXACTLY HOW I PICTURE HIM? like lol he gives me competive vibes.

ship: charles leclerc x fem!reader

warnings: none. some swearing maybe?

word count:  600 words.

He was obsessed with the damn game, it didn’t matter if it was race day, if he had to travel or train, he always tried to guess the word of the day “C’mon how can someone tell something by this?” Charles complained. It was never enough. Sometimes he had guessed the correct order of four of the five letters and still, he complained.

“You have four of five letters babe” You rolled your eyes at his drama

“Ok, so I have AULK and it goes in that order”

“so you just have to guess which is the first letter”

“Exactly” You were already thinking about the fact that the word was CAULK but you were almost sure that it was not spelled the same way in French. Sometimes when they played, Charles would guess the words quickly because they were written the same way in English and French.

Funny thing, Charles tried ALL the combinations EXCEPT for the right one. He literally went through all the alphabet and put in all the consonants. Jaulk. Zaulk. Xaulk. Naulk. Kaulk. Paulk. Qualk. Faulk. Yaulk.

“Que? Why?!” The scream after putting the first letter wrong again. Vaulk. vault

“That is not the word!” you laughed

“Yes, it is,” He said, repeating the combination “NO! NO!” He yelled “Wait, I think I got it,” He said before typing the word he thought was correct. Vaulk.

“Vaulk? What that’s supposed to mean?” You asked him, frowning. That word was not in your dictionary.

“Isn’t that what you call it in English?” Charles asked with a confused tone, “The vaulk, la voûte, le coffre-fort,” he added in French.

Compression flooded your face. “Ohhh, you mean the vault,” you clarified, understanding what he was referring to.

“Vault? With T at the end?”

“And it is”

“Ugh, I hate this freaking game,” He complained, throwing his head back in frustration “Can’t we just play this but in French or Italian?”

“Nope.” You gave him a smirk. Your boyfriend was one of the smartest people you knew, but with that game, it wasn’t the best first impression he could make because he used to get frustrated quickly when he couldn’t guess the word of the day.

“Why?!”

“Cause I like to play it in English” You stuck out your tongue at him. You spoke English, so playing in French or Italian would put you at a disadvantage and you enjoyed winning more than Charles. You were super competitive. He knew he couldn’t tell you no, anyway.

He glared at you “You like to make me suffer”

You rolled your eyes “Don’t be a winning baby”

“I’m gonna be whatever I want, thanks,” He complained “I’m just gonna play a bit in the sim.” Charles got up from the bed,

“Are you quitting already?” you mocked

“I’m not a quitter,” He answered you through clenched teeth.

“But you are quitting,” you pointed.

“I got it wrong! What do you want me to do?”

“Try all the alphabet,” you suggested

“Again?” He had tried almost every consonant in the alphabet. Almost because the only correct one had not been used “You want me to suffer twice? Thank you, amore, I know where you stand now”

“Which will be?” you raised your eyebrows

“In the side that likes to make me suffer”

You rolled your eyes at the drama of “Don’t be such a drama queen”

“Ok, now I’m offended,” He told you, placing a hand on his chest.

“You always get offended by Wordle.” You rolled your eyes again. At that rate, your eyes were going to stay in the back of your head. “Every time you write the wrong word and every time you complain,” you pointed out “You have problems with spelling baby,” You mocked “You should take it with the Cambridge Dictionary”

“See? You like to make me suffer,” He told you before crossing his arms “Stupid game,” you heard him mutter as he left the room and you let out a laugh. Maybe he will have better luck tomorrow.

Waking up to a new fic was an absolute delight and reading through it only made everything better.

Man I really feel Ria with the long weeks. And the extra long weekend because that's a brutal series of minor inconveniences. Did she ever manage to open the jar?

Absolutely love the reference to the latest chapter dfhigojg bashing reinforced plexiglass has nothing on not being able to open a jar. At least the exercise will help Ria in whatever new life threatening situation she ends up in.

WHY DOES DAVIS SAYING GET SHREDDED MAKE ME LAUGH

Artem listening to My Heart Will Go On dtidtid I adore this.

Artem's Wordle noooo. It's such a frustrating feeling that one's. Not valid it's not a shame-inducing thing but slightly more understandable!

I absolutely adore the shift from romance to Artem tripping over a crack in the pavement. The natural conclusion to seeing nothing but your crush.

The music swelled right when Ria caught him too I just realised dgidit

He's made worse excuses than "for charity"? Now I'm curious about those other excuses.

It's the all caps respectful in Artem's search that gets me the most.

You know what I can understand Marius' reaction. That was hot and I'll be unpacking why I think that too.

Teach Davis about creativity :(

WIKIHOW????? ARTEM PLEASE

Oh my god she knocked Luke out. What workouts is she doing I need those too. Absolutely adore Luke's reaction too xfuxu

Vyn using his universe-assigned accidents to his advantage is something I'm adopting as canon now.

RIA HOLY SHIT THE BRIDAL CARRY

Cgkcjg nice jab at Artem there Vyn.

I adore Davis and his stalker tendencies. Also he's right that the four boys are extremely entertaining to watch.

Excellent fic again!!!! Absolutely love the premise and all the boys swooning over a buff Ria. Thank you for writing this! I'm sorry if this seems a little messy cgidgk I'm not quite fully awake yet.

🌌

waaaaa gmorning, milkyway!! thanks for reading "baby, you're the man, but i got the power" OwO

pls dont apologize for anything omg, im HONORED u read this fic not 100% awake, kinda like a morning newspaper but theres no information about the world's events, just convoluted swooning over strength

ria's long week was honestly me projecting how ive been feeling lately kJBKJSDKJFSD!! sometimes weeks are just Like That :( tho unlike her, my weeks Like That never made me decide to start working out, LMAO.

SHE DOES EVENTUALLY OPEN THE JAR! in my mind, i assume that she took a frustration nap after the whole ordeal and when she woke up she had more strength to open it but she already committed to Operation Get Shredded

artem's wordle shame is also me projecting //SOBS. i havent done wordle in a while but it was my dream to have 3rd Row as my highest solves, but im not as smart as artem so my current standing is this

MY SHAME IS IMMEASURABLE

a knockout isnt too hard to do! a strong enough right hook to the jaw or temple is enough to jostle a person’s brain into temporary sleepytown. actually, most well placed blunt force trauma hits can result in a knockout (take it from me who had balance issues growing up and bashed my head EVERYWHERE at school for a few years. i basically lived in the clinic, i was always getting temporary sleepytown) 

usually, knockout punches actually just knockout a person for a few seconds, which is what happened to luke, and it’s super common in like, UFC MMA fights which i used to watch a lot as a kid. it’s this split second unconsciousness that leaves the opponent unguarded for a much stronger punch that can knockout for a much longer time. the head is just That Fragile and thats why guarding it is the most important thing to do in any kind of martial arts

but luke did not do that because hes a dumb dumb who underestimated ria and being completely unguarded and not braced for impact? SLEEPYTOWN, BOIIII!!! 

vyn got THE MOST shoujo anime romance scene in this fic, the lucky bastard!!!!!!!

thank u sm for the lovely ask, milkyway <3 im rlly glad u enjoyed the fic :D
