oh distant and brilliant and lonely
Charles Leclerc/Carlos Sainz Jr. - Boarding School AU
“Boarding school ?” asked Charles in sheer disbelief. “Maman, we can’t afford a flat or even a new tutor for me, how do you plan on sending me to boarding school ?”
“Your grandfather will pay for it, Charles. He cares about your education and your future–”
“But he’s the reason we’re in this mess in the first place!” Charles said indignantly, cutting off his mother.
“Don’t say that,” she scolded. Charles went quiet, it had been a long time since she had raised her voice at him. His mother gave him an apologetic look, but continued. “This is all just a big misunderstanding. I need to talk to a few more of your father’s friends, get your father’s will all sorted out, and then everything will go back to normal .”
“So what, you’re going to ship Arthur and me off to boarding school while you figure it all out by yourself?”
His mother let out another deep sigh, her hand on his arm squeezed slightly. “No, Charles, just you.”
