You know how Charles is scared of snakes? Cpuld you do Charles Leclerc x Shapeshifting!Reader that can physically turn into a snake. I can just imagine him being openly terrified and then rocking up to the paddock with a 12 foot Indian Rock Python around his neck (only bc its reader though)
i actually did not know this but it doesn't surprise me at all
when you first meet, charles is so fascinated by you
he can't really pinpoint why until he sees you shift for the first time
okay actually the first time he sees you shift is from your python form back to your human form
because charles decided to surprise you by coming home from the race a day earlier than he told you
used the excuse that he had extra meetings so he had to stay extra time at the track with his team
he comes by your apartment and literally screams when he sees a python more that twice his height just lounging on the sofa
you have to shift back so quickly to explain
it takes him a little while to get used to the idea of his boyfriend being able to turn into a snake
he'll get there eventually
just give him some time
the first few weeks are just slowly increasing how long you can spend in snake form on the other side of the room
and then slowly getting closer
until you're close enough that he can touch you
it'll still be a little while before he does actually touch you
and even then it takes a long time before he'll let you go around his shoulders
honestly i think if you can do partial shifts that would help him get used to your snake features individually
his favourites are your fangs and forked tongue
for obvious reasons
by the time ferrari has him with a snake around his neck, charles is pretty used to and actively enjoys having you in your python form hanging off his shoulders
because he knows its you
but with that snake? absolutely terrified
so tense and scared and really just wanting it to be over
he gets teased so much for it that he begs you to come to the paddock with him the next day
you do, of course
and everyone in the paddock is just staring in shock
because regardless of who's carrying it a 12 ft/3.6m python, it's insane
it's just especially insane when it's charles
you're the only snake he'll ever willingly let near him and it's only because it's you
