Final Lap - Sambucky AU

44

The day the racers got to Azerbaijan, it was the day of the gala.

Bucky opened a new package with a new suit. He pulled it out before he went to the bathroom to do his hair.

As he brushed his hair back there was a knock at the door. He turned and opened it. He saw Rebecca.

"Hey." She said. Bucky nodded as he finished brushing his hair.

"Are you okay?" She said. Bucky sighed as he pulled on an undershirt.

"I'm fine Becca. I'm just confused why you guys desire to be here when you don't spend time with me, yell at me, and don't care about what I have to say". Bucky said as he pulled out a dark red suit. It was a black velvet suit with bedazzles around it.

"I'm sorry. I just wish we were better." Becca said. Bucky nodded in agreement. "Now, if you can excuse me, I have to get dressed for a gala."

She nodded and walked out.

Bucky pulled the black undershirt on, then the other pieces.

He unbuttoned a few buttons, and pulled on a silver chain. He then pulled on his rings. He loved wearing them, and well... he knew Sam liked them.

He then put his silver earrings in and pulled on his red bottom shoes. He quickly sprayed some cologne, and then pulled a watch on.

He stepped out of his room, grabbed his keys, and started to leave.

His mother was sitting there. She looked at him. "You look handsome, Bucky." She said as she looked at him.

"Thanks mom..." he said as he grabbed his wallet. "I'll be back late. Make sure dad knows so he doesn't get pissed off." He left, closing the door behind him.

She sighed and nodded. She frowned and just continued to read her book.

Sam pulled on a red suit. It was a three piece suit. He saw an unopened gift from a sponsor. He opened it and saw a silver chain. He thought back to when Bucky wore his. His mind wandered to when Bucky was at the pool wearing it...

Shirtless-

"Woah!" He said to himself. "Relax buddy." He said as he chuckled. He just put the necklace on and then the singular ring Bucky had given him.

He put some cologne on and walked out. His family was all sitting there. Paul just clapped and chuckled. "Ahhh looking good my son!!"

Everyone motivated him. Sam chuckled. "Thank you guys. I'll be back late since this party is going to run a bit late. So, see you guys later!" He said.

Everyone wished him a wonderful evening and said bye. Sam got into his hotel elevator. He took out his phone and took a mirror selfie showing off a bit of the outfit.

He posted it to his instagram story, as he saw Bucky updated his. He pressed it and saw a bit of Buckys rings, and his watch.

"He's being fancy tonight." Sam said. He walked downstairs and was getting his pictures taken by paparazzi. He smiled and waved as he got into his car.

Sam saw Carol as he got in. She was wearing dark red dress that had gold accents. "You look good." He said with a smile.

"So do you!" She said with a chuckle. She was going to say something when her phone rang. It was FaceTime. Sam watched her face light up.

Carol answered. "Hi baby!" Carol said as she looked at a woman in a flight suit. "Hi beautiful! How's everything?"

"Wonderful. Heading to a gala with my teammate." She turned the camera landscape so she could see Sam.

"Ayee! Hi! I hope she's not dragging you around bugging you." Maria Rambeau said.

"Nah shes all good! Fun to hang out with." Sam said with a smile. Maria chuckled and nodded. "Good. Well, hun, I just wanted to call you to tell you you're beautiful, strong, and I can't wait to be able to see you at your race."

Carol smiled softly. "Love you. See you soon."

"Love you. Bye!" Maria hung up. Sam smiled at the two. "When you gonna get a ring on that finger?"

Carol chuckled. "Who knows... but I would wait forever for it."

The two got to the party. Sam out and helped Carol out. They were at this lavish venue. Sam walked next to her as he waved to the crowds. Carol smiled and waved as people asked her to pause so they could take pictures.

As Sam walked up the steps, a Mercedes pulled up. Bucky stepped out and the camera flashes increased and the yells got louder.

Bucky smiled and waved at everyone. Sam watched him with Carol. Sam thought he was built for this.

Carol smirked and flicked Sam's ear. He flinched and looked at her. "We gotta head inside buddy." She teased.

Sam chuckled and followed her in. "Yeah... you're right."

As those two went in, Steve appeared with Peggy. She was in a glittering silver gown. Everyone paid attention to her since she was an heiress, but no one necessarily cared for Steve.

Honestly, for once, Steve didn't care right now. He just thought his wife was gorgeous.

Everyone made their way inside and took their seats. The seatings were assigned, so Bucky sat at a table with different racers, and Sam was a table in front of him.

Oddly enough the two were facing each other in a way. As Bucky got comfortable, his phone vibrated.

He looked at it and saw Sam's name. He pressed it and saw a picture of him with a message that said

Smile more ;)

Bucky glanced up from his phone and saw Sam chuckling. Carol was too. Bucky chuckled and then typed a message back.

Eventually I will :)

Sam looked at him and nodded. He started typing but stopped when the speaker walked onto the stage.

Bucky turned and looked at the speaker. He was shocked. It was the one and only...
