Final Lap - Sambucky AU

"Grandpa?" Natasha asked.

"Yep. He was against Bucky being openly bi. And he was against him being with me. So your grandfather was not only homophobic but also racist, but we're not gonna dive into that shit show." Sam said with a sad chuckle. Natasha listened.

"Bucky openly came out at the Spanish GP. He kissed me and asked me to be his boyfriend for the first time in front of everyone... it honestly was a dream cause... this is gonna sound so cringy..." he scooted closer to Natasha in his chair.

She scooted closer to listen with a smile on her face.

"I wanted everyone to know, he was my boyfriend, he was the man I loved, and he delivered." Sam said with a smile as he leaned back and thought of that moment.

"I wanted us to have one more win together so we could do that one last time..." Sam said as his expression had some sadness behind it.

Natasha noticed it. She didn't want him to get caught in a spiral. "So... how did it feel being able to show the world your guys' love?" She asked.

He smiled a bit. "It felt wonderful."

As he said that Bucky came over with some of his pain medicine and kissed his cheek from behind. "Talking about how wonderful of a husband I am?" Bucky said as he handed him the meds.

"I'm talking about how nosy you are, and how you never fold towels right." Sam said with a smirk.

Bucky fake gasped. "My goodness, throwing out all of my dirty little secrets hm?"

Sam chuckled. "Not all of them. There are some I like to keep some to myself." He said as he looked Bucky in the eye.

Natasha fake gagged and chuckled. "I'm going to my room to get out of these clothes. You two can be weird out here." She walked in, and took Clara's hand into hers as she did.

Bucky looked at Sam. His expression changed from teasing to loving. "How are you my love?"

Sam looked at him. "I'm okay." Bucky looked at him looking for a better answer.

Sam sighed. "Just thinking about the past, and wishing for some things. That's all." He said as Bucky stood and sat next to him and kissed his cheek.

"I heard you mention how you would like to relive our first kiss again." Bucky said with a smile. Sam chuckled and looked at him.

"Yeah... I was hoping to at least make it to the end of the season and be able to be the runner up and kiss you on that stage again... but... I won't be up there." Sam said as he kissed Buckys cheek.

Bucky let him as Sam sat up slightly and pulled Bucky into a kiss. Bucky kissed him back and held onto his shirt slightly. "You're upset..." Bucky said as he broke the kiss and looked st him.

"What makes you think that?" Sam said surprised.

"You lead when you're upset. Get affection first..." he sat up. "What's wrong?"

Sam muttered in annoyance that Bucky knew him so well. "Can't hide anything from you huh."

"Yeah.. well it's better for me to figure it out now than you know... later. We tried that awhile ago, and it didn't work." He said as Sam glanced at him slightly and then looked ahead.

"And as much as I love kissing you, I won't let you kiss me when you're mad. Unless you're shutting me up then that'll be fine." He chuckled as he sighed.

"What's wrong hun?"

"I wish I could race with you and Natasha." Sam said as he looked at his hands. He had a frustrated expression. "I... I just wish I could share a podium with you both."

"We can get you checked again... if you want. To see if there's a chance." Buckt said.

"I don't want to be heartbroken again..." Sam said.

"Sammy... you've been able to walk around without your braces on! You can do this. I know it." Bucky said as he looked at him.

"I'm done Bucky. I just wished I defended my position on that track harder... and then we all would've been on the podium." He said as he looked at him.

Bucky pulled him close and hugged him. "I'm sorry... that everything turned out like this."

Sam just sighed and stayed close to him. "It's okay... life is just hard some times."

Natasha sat in her room, on her bed as Clara fiddled around on her phone. She was posting stuff to her story.

"So... since we're a couple now." Natasha Said as she sat up. Clara looked at her as she did.

"Do we want Ground rules?"

"I don't think we do. The main one is don't announce our relationship until we both are ready of course." Clara said as she put her phone down and made sure to be 100% apart of the conversation.

"Sounds good to me." Natahsa said with a chuckle.

"Do we want to soft launch secretly and see if anyone picks up on it?" Natasha said. Clara's eyes lit up as she nodded.

"Yes! Please!?"

Natasha smiled softly and nodded. "What would you like to do?"

Clara sat there and thought for a few moments. "What if..." she got up and rummaged through her bag and looked for something. Natasha watched.

Clara put on a red lipstick and then walked over to Natasha. "Can I Kiss you?" She said with a smile and chuckle.

"Of course". Natasha said. Clara Held her Face gently and kissed her, and then kissed her cheek and then her forehead.

Natasha was in a happy daze. "Now... I post a selfie in a different room from you, and you post in here." Clara said noticing the dazed look on her face.

Clara smiled softly and then kissed her again. Natasha never felt so calm before in her life. She broke the kiss slightly. "Alright... let's do this soft launch."
