Chapter Text
”Can two omegas date?”
It’s only thanks to his life experience that he doesn’t startle at the question. Carlos doesn’t know what is encouraging Kimi to make that question on this moment. He likes Kimi, his open-minded curiosity and steely work ethic, but they are not close like that.
”Do you want to have a drink?” Carlos nods towards the Williams hospitality. If Kimi has picked him up for his little heart to heart, he’d try to be helpful. He can do that for the younger omega.
”Yes please.” He guides the Italian inside, getting them both iced teas to drink. It’s getting quiet, only a few people are present, but they’d have time to have their little talk. If someone finds it curious that he has brought the Mercedes prodigy as his guest, Carlos wouldn’t be losing any sleep over that.
”Yes, two omegas can be an item. If someone has told you something else, it’s old-fashioned bullshit. Of course some omegas prefer being with an alpha, but it’s not like biological necessity.”
”You and Charles… You are a couple, right?” He looks up from his drink, cheeks little pink, and eyes round.
”Yeah. We have been mated for over a year now.” It’s publicly known fact they don’t really talk about with outsiders, but they smell like each other, and like to prioritize their time together, when the team duties are not calling. After his podium in Baku his mate had been the first person to congratulate him, slowly kissing Carlos in front of the whole world.
”How did it start? Who started it? If it’s okay to ask.”
Carlos was full of frustration, when he first became Charles’ teammate, and learned to know Ferrari’s adored omega prince better.
Carlos had already rejected three courting proposals from alphas. Alphas who thought they knew better how he should live his life.
Remembering the early days together always makes him happy and nostalgic.
He tells Kimi about finding small gifts in his driver’s room, a small, but heavy bronze globe, a glass deer, a heavy blue blanket that’s still traveling to every race in his luggage. Charles asking him on a date, and shrugging at the big omega question.
”Since when have you allowed such things to stop you?”
”I hadn’t considered it before either. But Charles is my peace.”
Some people love saying that two omegas can never satisfy each other in bed.
Carlos has nothing against penises if he is not expected to get involved with one. Charles is an omega too, and touching him, figuring out his good spots had been a gift from life.
”Who do you have in your mind?”
He doesn’t expect Kimi dropping any names, not really, but once again the little Italian surprises him.
”Franco. We have been getting close.”
”Good luck”, Carlos tells him at the doors of the hospitality, briefly hugging the boy.
