Yellow would look good on you too

Oh, I definitely appreciate it. Of course I do but I'm just saying you're hot with or without it

[ he doesn't quite get that is about her but he'll get there eventually. ]

Boxing? Nah, [ he says, sighing out a little laugh. sometimes john forgets how old bucky is until he says something a little jarring. ] The rise of MMA sort of killed boxing, actually.

You're the one that threw it???

[ from here ]

I mean, yeah of course
Do you consider me a friend?

[ from here ]

Point is, it doesn't matter if I am or not
There isn't much to know either

[ from here ]

[ god the tension feels palpable and john hates it. he doesn't like this part of a relationship changing. it feels dangerous, like whatever friendship they've managed to muster up might be lost because he thinks bucky is stupid hot. ]

Right, yeah. [ john feels too aware of his body as he steps past bucky into his room. it feels... weird. but at least he has a new cat to distract himself. john isn't a huge animal person, he doesn't see the point in them half the time but they are cute. ]

She's... adorable. [ john says with a smile, crouching down to hold out a hand for the cat to sniff. ]

[ john's on his feet as soon as her initial text comes in. he's walking down the hall as he sends his reply and grins when she responds instantly. his first instinct is to check her room and he stops to peek in before heading toward the common area. ]

[another addition to the list of things Yelena thinks she ought to be concerned about, and instead keeps brushing aside: how easy it turns out to be to get used to sharing a bed with someone else. not as a matter of necessity, not with some invisible line dividing my side and your side, but simply as a matter of being too wrapped up in each other to separate.

in this case, literally. it's almost a little too warm, despite the fact that she's not got a stitch of clothing on, tangled up in each other as they are, but it manages to stay just in that range where the warmth keeps you drowsy and drifting. that, and the way Yelena can just tuck her face a little more against John's neck to block out any light, are the excuses she'll use to blame him for the fact that she makes no move to get out of bed and start her day when she starts to wake up.

but she's not thinking about that yet. she's not part of the real world again enough yet for it to be relevant, she only exists in this liminal space of being held in such a way that don't go has become a physical sensation, of a pulse there just within reach of her mouth keeping time, and - well, she's only human. so if her hands wander a little bit, just to see how much they can before he wakes up, or if she wiggles around a little to be pressed against him more in the way that speeds up the heart rate then relaxes it, who can blame her? who could pass this up? she really isn't even directly trying to wake him up, or make anything happen (yet), she's just basking in all the comfort and possibility]

Well enough, I guess. I haven't really been surprised by anything that wasn't objectively terrible lately. Well, until recently but you don't really shake that shit off, you know?

Yeah, see, this is sounding like a murder thing again.

Jesus Christ, Bob you didn't think to double check it before you ate dubious meat?

Maybe you should stay away from cooking for a bit, I don't mind making extra for you if it means you don't end up sick

[ from here ]

Okay, I also get mad when you pretend you don't use the weights I know I've seen you in the gym, Bucky.

I do, actually. If you need me to drop the play fight, I can. We can just... talk or not talk. Whatever you need

[ from here ]

I respect the memory of your father but his house sounds like a horror movie.

Jesus, so this is going to be a terrible time all around I guess.

only if you have an unreasonable fear of trees.

now now, keep in mind he's extremely protective of me and will probably pull you aside to interrogate you
