Lando was a flirt sometimes, but he never quite knew when he was. He never meant anything by it, he was just a friendly person and some people took it as flirting. Having (another) alpha teammate was something Lando was getting used to, considering so far all three of his McLaren teammates have been alphas. Carlos had swept in and stole his heart, his now mate the first alpha Lando had seriously courted. Daniel was a lot at times, over the top and hard to keep up with. Oscar was hard to read; he was definitely the most laid-back alpha that Lando had ever met but the two had amazing chemistry together. The two clicked from day one and their relationship just kept getting stronger and stronger. Lando just didn’t know that he was flirting with the younger alpha until his alpha brought it up.

“I don’t appreciate you flirting with other Alphas, Omega dear.” Carlos said one night when the two were curled up in bed.
“What are you talking about?” Lando was confused. What alpha’s were he flirting with considering he could still barely flirt with his own alpha most days?
“Oh Cariño, you really don’t notice it do you?” Carlos ran his fingers through Lando’s hair, hand gently coming down to brush over his mating mark before going back to run through his hair.
“Who am I flirting with Carlos? Are you upset? I’m sorry if you are.” Lando was getting himself worked up, Carlos gently shushed the omega not wanting him to get too excited really for nothing.
“Oh Lando baby, with Oscar. I didn’t think you were that oblivious omega.”
“Oscar.” Lando said even the way he said it was different from anyone else. Carlos just gently smiled at his omega. Lando never really flirted with Daniel, Daniel flirted with Lando but toned it back after the pair were mated and he and Carlos had a long talk about flirting with another alpha’s omega. Oscar wasn’t really a problem, as he seemed just as oblivious to Lando’s flirting as Lando himself did. Carlos in a way thought it was adorable to watch them together.
“Yes, baby Oscar. I didn’t think you realized you were doing it but you definitely are baby.”
“I’m sorry Carlos. I’ll stop, promise. I won’t flirt with him anymore, swear.” Lando sat up, pulling the two away from each other as he rambled.
“Lando, omega, relax. I never said it was a bad thing.”
“But, you said you didn’t like it.”
“Yes, I don’t. But I know you don’t mean anything by it and honestly, I don’t think he knows you’re flirting with him either. It's kinda cute, two pups flirting without realizing it.”
“I’m not a pup.” Lando pouted and turned his back toward Carlos.
“I’m sorry baby, can you ever forgive me?” Carlos wrapped his arm around Lando from behind, pulling the omega to his front. Carlos pressed a kiss against the mating mark on Lando’s neck.
“Maybe, if you fuck me good and hard I can.” Lando turned to straddle the alpha, pulling him in for a heated kiss.

“Oscar.” Lando called out, seeing the alpha walking through the paddock. Oscar stopped, allowing Lando to catch up before he started walking again.
“What’s up, Lando?”
“Did you know I’ve been flirting with you for months now apparently?” Oscar stopped abruptly, causing Lando to also stop. Oscar turned to look at the omega, eyes wide.
“Are you just figuring this out, Lando?”
“Wait you knew all this time.”
“Um… yeah. I just thought it was how you were and didn’t think anything of it considering you already have a mate.”
“Wha…” Lando sputtered, now more confused than before.
“Wait you really didn’t know that you’ve spent basically all year flirting with him. The fans picked up on it months ago.”
“No, I didn’t. I didn’t know until Carlos brought it up last night.”
“Ohh.” Oscar said.
“Why did you never tell me if you know that I was flirting with you? You know I’m mated so I shouldn’t be flirting with other alphas.” Lando was starting to panic. Why had no one stopped him earlier if his flirting was so obvious?
“Lando relax, it’s really not a big deal. I knew that it meant nothing and I never wanted it to mean anything. I have an omega I’m courting and no offence to you but your flirting means nothing to me.”
“Wait, what? You’re courting someone and never told me. Who is it? Do I know them? Tell me everything.” Lando linked his arm with Oscar’s, pulling him toward the McLaren hospitality to get all the gossip and information about Oscar’s budding relationship.
