evolution of this idea if you want it though:
Mick and Charles sending pics to seb constantly and he’s so confused and doesn’t know what to do until he just has a minor aneurysm about the whole thing and tells them both (separately) no.
And then Charles and Mick in their sadness start hooking up. At some point they both point out that each other still obviously has feelings for seb and one might, drunk, they send him a pic of the two of the together and say that they’d be open to a third.
And Seb just goes oh. Oh. I didn’t think about that. And then has another minor mental breakdown. And then they finallyyyy get together (and coincidentally solves all the teammate/team principal drama and they win the goddamn constructors title).
anon are you... trying to end me this good morn...
seb having an aneurysm every time they send him something because those are his boys and they look so good but he's the team principal and he's just like okay, okay, i gotta put a stop to this now.
and then charles and mick being morose and wounded and turning to each other and then YOUR BRAIN ANON. they decide to send seb a pic! charles is like wait, wait, we gotta get the lighting right, this ain't no GOT finale, and mick's like you're weird, and charles is like you're weird, and mick's like we can't look like we're trying too hard, it's gotta be casual so we don't trigger his moral compass, and charles is like what was that about being weird, just send him the goddamn photo--
and seb loses his mind and goes to their room fully intending to scold them (who is he kidding) and then stuff happens. and then they of course win. would read 20k of this.
