Final Lap - Sambucky AU

159

The next morning, Natasha woke up next to Clara. She remembered it was summer break and her and her family were staying in London for it this year.

Natasha just smiled softly and relaxed as she laid back and down and looked at the wall. She then lifted her hand and looked at the sapphire promise ring on her finger.

She then looked at Clara and kissed her cheek. She carefully got up and headed out of the room and went to the kitchen to make Clara some breakfast.

Clara woke up to the smell of her favorite tea. She sat up slowly when she saw Natasha kicking the door to their room open. "Morning!" Natasha said with a smile.

Clara smiled and chucked. "Morning darling." She said as Natasha placed the tray on her lap. "I have toast, tea the way you like it, fruit, eggs, and! Some oatmeal." Natasha said with a proud smile.

"Don't take this the wrong way honey... but is it edible this time?" Clara said.

"Yes it is." Natasha said proudly.

Clara took a bite and then smiled. "Yes it is. Very good! You do remember the things I've taught you." She said as Natasha walked over to the window and creaked it open.

"That I do." She said as she looked at the rain falling outside. She listened and then sat down next to Clara and took a piece of fruit off her plate and ate it.

"Anything you want to do today?" Clara asked.

"I actually want your help with getting a sleeve tattoo designed." Natasha said as she grabbed her iPad and started sketching on the notes app.

"Oo! Love that. Can it have roses?" Clara said as she watched Natasha sketch.

"Of course."

About a week later, Natasha was getting her arm tattooed. It roses, some planets, her and Clara's racing numbers, and an f1 car.

She looked at it in the mirror and smiled. "Oh this looks fantastic." She said as she turned towards Clara.

"I love it." Clara said as she smiled. She had gotten a tattoo on her finger. It was a little heart. Half of it was red and the other half was blue.

The duo finished and were met by Mina and Kylo and Anthony outside. She showed them and they all loved it.

The juniors went out to get lunch. They all sat down and enjoyed one another's company. Natasha sipped her drink as she scrolled on her phone.

She saw an article saying that Clara had a rumored partner. Natasha showed Clara as she held back a laugh.

Clara laughed as she looked at the prospect. A bunch of male celebrities, singers, and the sons of the powerful.

"Can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they realize how wrong they are." Clara said with a smile.

Natasha just smiled softly as she watched her talk and laugh with the group. Natasha leaned towards her and whispered something to her.

Clara looked at her, a soft blush appearing on her face. Natasha smiled and stood up. "I'll be right back."

Mina looked at Clara. "What'd she tell you?"

Clara looked at her and giggled. "She called me beautiful."

Mina couldn't believe how smitten this girl was. "Doesn't she tell you that all the time?"

"Yeahh..."

Mina just laughed and rolled her eyes as she looked at her phone and blushed slightly. Her girlfriend had just called her beautiful as well.

Bucky was sitting at his desk working on something. Sam came over behind him and hugged him, watching what he was doing.

"What are you up to?" Sam asked.

"Working on Natasha's birthday gift." He said as he showed him. Sam looked and saw a well organized gift. There was a necklace with her birth stone, his, And Sam's, and some gift cards for random places along with a birthday card that he made.

"Looks lovely." Sam said.

"Think she'll like it?" Bucky asked.

Sam nodded and kissed his cheek. "Yeah... she will."

The two got dressed and headed to her room. Bucky and him were going to go out to eat so, they wanted to drop it off.

Natasha opened her door. "Oh, hi!" She said as she looked at them. Bucky smiled slightly. "New tattoo?" Bucky asked.

"Yeah! Clara helped me design it for my birthday last week." Bucky nodded. "Well... I'm sorry I'm late with this, the present took too long to get here, so..." he handed her the bag.

She held it and looked at him. "Happy 21st." Bucky said.

Sam walked over and kissed her cheek. "Happy late birthday. We won't bother you, we know you have guests, so... we'll see you later."

Sam waved as him and Bucky walked off. She watched them leave and then went back into her room. She held the box and opened it carefully.

She smiled softly when she saw the gems. She knew immediately. She put the necklace on and looked in the mirror.

She touched it gently and teared up. She wondered what the hell happened to them all and sighed.

"Hey! Natasha! Come play your turn!"
Mina said from The living room.

"Coming!" She said as she wiped her tears and walked out and started to play.

Sooner or later, the summer came to an end. The racers all were back in racing mode and were getting ready to finish off the second half of the season.

Bucky woke up the first day back in the season and sighed softly. He held his head and saw it was race day.

He saw Sam sleeping next to him and starting to wake up. Bucky just leaned down, kissed his head and sighed softly.

"Morning."

"Morning." Sam said as he sat up and looked at him. "Kiss me." He said tiredly.

Bucky gently kissed him. "Ready to get this all finished." Sam just leaned against him and sighed with a tired nod.

"Yeah. Yeah I am ready..."
