George Russell x Checo (Sergio)Perez - F1 fanfiction- driverxdriver

Small steps

The media day was the first time the pack completely came back together. Their pack room was filled with the different scents, everywhere were people cuddling, unwinding from the stress. Checo and Max had just finished their tasks and returned into the big open room. The Dutch alpha promptly got called over by his mate, Charles already resting with Carlos and Lando. The blonde gave his teammate an inviting gaze but the Mexican denied "Go Pup, get your peace." He didn't feel like joining the two couples, fifth wheeling them.

It always gave him a sad sting watching the new and old couples in the room, wishing that he could be one of them. Just then the tall Brit and his teammate Lewis walked in. The Mexicans mood dropped even more, longing for the sweet smell of the younger Briton. Defeated he turned away, searching for his phone instead. He regularly left it in the pack room, loosing it any other way.

He never expected the place the damn thing ended up in. On top of a kitchen cupboard, out of his reach. And he couldn't get a chair to get it himself. Frustrated he huffed and groaned staring at the mocking technology.

As he was about to just leave it there until later a soft voice got his attention "Can I help you?" The younger man had changed his race suit for a soft shirt, black yeans and a Mercedes cap. Under the cap peak, his could still see these blue-green eyes. Like the timed before was his scent not noticeable, so Checo didn't noticed him coming.

The Redbull driver looked at the other for a second "Uh, yeah thanks." The taller man stretched some more, reaching the small device by an inch. Carefully he younger one handed it over. Their fingers touched, softly like the at the beginning of the last week. As soon as Checo had his phone in hand he pulled back, having the need to check it Fernando saw them and if the older would come at him again. But he didn't, well he tried to do it unnoticed by Geroge but he didn't succeed.

The taller one smiled uncertain "Fernando, didn't see don't worry. And he will never say something like that to you. I talked to him and told him how rude he was and that it is my life which he cant control." Checo nodded slightly "Still, don't want him to lash out again. I always wanted to make him proud, I guess I am not such a good alpha as I thought after all." A sad smiled appeared on his face, eyes dropping to the floor.

Geroge whined at him "No." He touched Checos hand again, only a finger caressing his knuckles "Please, don't think like that. He is just a bit overly protective and reacted poorly. You did so well. You make me feel safe and cared for without a hint that you expect something in return." The omega purred at him, trying to sooth the older "I really liked my time with you and I want it back."

But the older still had the memory of Fernando in his brain "I am sorry George but I really need this Job and I really want to stay in the paddock. I will not anger the Pack omega like that." He pulled his hands away "Thanks for the help" and then he walked off. Sitting down on one of the sofas next to Nico Hülkenberg.

The German smiled at him "Checo, how was the vacation?" The Mexicans smile twitched "It was...all right." His ex-teammate frowned "What happen? I saw you talking to George and he looked upset?" The shorter one huffed "Well me and him kind got a bit closer but Fernando wasn't a fan of it, accusing me of having bad ulterior motives in front of the whole group. Since then, I am just trying to stay away from Geroge, but he doesn't seam to like that very much." The blonde nodded slowly "Okay, that sounds not like fun. But we all knew Fernando and I am sure he wasn't really thinking like that. George looks really sad I think you should talk to him. It wasn't his fault." On the other side Lance sat down "The George thing?"

Checo was unpleasantly surprised "You know?" The Canadian smiled "Yeah, Daniel kinda told me. But I think Fernando totally acted out. George is really sad, he clearly misses you." Again the Mexican tried to argue why he couldn't be friend or anything with George, but the other two drivers didn't get it. So they left it at that and changed the topic.
