Following Team Orders (A Steve Rogers AU x F1)

Netherlands

"I feel like I've been replaced."

"How so?"

"Because you've spent the last two weeks with your crew chief instead of me." Frank mock pouted at Liv while she laughed.

"We were just hanging out. We went to London for a few days. And nothing happened." She could see the smirk forming.

"So, what is going on with Buck-a-roo?"

"Don't call him that." Liv took a sip of her coffee. "We are talking, hanging out, getting to really know each other." She popped a shoulder, "its been nice."

"Has he made a move?"

She shook her head with a shy smile. "He wanted to kiss me after the race, but I turned my head. I'm not ready for that. I don't want to rush."

Frank smiled. "Well, good for you. He's a good guy." He swallowed his coffee. "What about Rogers?"

A flash of anger went through her eyes. "I don't care about Rogers. He is my teammate. Nothing more."

Frank frowned. "But you were..."

"Yes, I was and he just... he went..." she sighed. She couldn't bring herself to tell anyone about what she had seen. What he had done to her. "Whatever, it doesn't matter." Her phone beeped and she smiled. "Bucky wants to do the walk through. I gotta go."

"Have fun Bug." Frank smiled. She was finally smiling after a couple of months of heart ache.

Bucky was leaning against the Red Bull trailer, texting with a small smile when he noticed Steve. He goes to wave but gets a filthy look instead, causing Bucky to frown. He wasn't sure what Steve's problem was, but he ignored it as Liv came up. "Hey Bug! Ready for the walk through?"

"Sure boss. Got my special kicks on," flashing her pink hi-tops.

"You are such a girl," he smirked at her.

"Duh," as she sipped her iced coffee. Bucky laughed and then pointed where all the drivers were gathering for the walk through. Liv and Bucky stayed in the back, laughing, and joking as they moved around the track.

"So here and turn 5, you want to be careful about leaving the track. You don't want lap times deleted during qualifying or a penalty."

"Don't leave the track, got it." Liv started to shuffle backwards near the edge. "Oh no boss, see I'm drifting."

"Liv, be careful," Bucky warned her as she walked near the edge. He could see it happening and she hit a grove on the edge. He caught her before she hit the ground. "You are a pain in my ass."

"Thanks for the save." She stood up and her face darkened. "I guess Rogers was right. I am clumsy."

"Not clumsy, doll. Just gravity challenged." He held onto her hand. "Stay with me and I'll make sure nothing happens."

"Ok." She looked down to where their hands were joined. "Gonna let me go?"

"Do you want me to?"

"Not really, no." She blushed as they continued to walk. They stayed behind everyone, until Charles noticed and nudged Johnny, who got Lance's attention and soon the entire group could see that Bucky Barnes was holding hands with Liv Williams.

Steve was seething. That was his girl and now his best friend was making a move. After the walk through, Olivia had some press, so Bucky headed to the main trailer to look over some numbers. Steve slammed the trailer closed, making Bucky jump in his seat.

"What are you playing at Buck?"

Bucky turned to look at Steve. "I don't know what the fuck you are talking about, punk."
