he wants that cookie so bad

they get so good at it that they start doing it when yelena isn't even in the room. even when nobody else is around, actually

“Right foot on blue!”    Bucky let out a frustrated groan. John was sitting on the couch now, playing referee to their game of Twister while the rest of them were collectively contorted into something resembling a mutated pretzel. Much to Ava’s delight, fate had been on her side for most of the game, and she’d ended up wedged halfway beneath Bucky’s body. His superhuman strength was starting to fail him, though. Ava could see his right leg trembling beside her as he fought to keep it from buckling underneath him.    “Are you kidding me? I can’t move there!”    “Well too bad,” John retorted. “Either move or forfeit.”    “Ow!” Yelena wailed. “Bob, that’s my elbow!”    “Sorry, Lena.”    “Ha!” Alexei’s laugh was triumphant. “The Red Guardian has no problem. This game is piece of cake!” Ava heard the thunk of Alexei’s foot against the mat. She felt Bucky wobble above her in response as she stretched her own foot to the closest blue dot. “Well, Barnes? Are you moving or forfeiting?”    “Ugh, I’m not flexible enough for this,” Bucky muttered. He slowly slid his right foot into position.    Ava smirked. “Really? The man who does yoga with his cat every morning?”    “Shut up, it’s not the same thing.”    The plastic game dial whirred as John spun it for the next turn.    “Left hand, yellow!”    Bucky, Bob, and Yelena all groaned this time.    Ava, however, finally saw her opportunity to strike. She could’ve made a move earlier, but she’d wanted to drag things out a bit for the entertainment value of hearing Bucky grumble like a crotchety old man. But she’d held out long enough, and Bucky’s body couldn’t take much more of the strain anyway. So as she watched him extend his vibranium hand towards the nearest yellow dot, she sharpened her focus and redirected her energy away from the stabilization of her bracelet.    Her body flickered, and for a split second the weight of it—which had been holding up much of their mangled human Jenga tower—disappeared.    Bucky howled.    Bob and Yelena both shrieked.    And then they all came crashing down.   They hit the mat in a wriggling knot of arms, legs, and shouts of pain, which soon transformed into an uncontrollable fit of giggles. Well, it did for Bob and Yelena anyway. Ava couldn’t really see them, pancaked as she was by the hulking mass of super soldier now lying on top of her. But Yelena’s stomach jostled her foot as she giggle-snorted, which made Bob laugh so hard that he started hiccuping in between every breath.    “Aha! I am last one standing!” Alexei cried. “Victory is mine!”    “Hooray,” John deadpanned.

“Is that my hoodie?” Ava smirked. “So what if it is?” Bucky made a face. “That’s the third one you’ve stolen in two weeks.” “I didn’t steal them, I borrowed them—” “Ave, it’s called stealing if you don’t return them.” “I will return them!” She paused. “Eventually.” Bucky shook his head, but his lips curled into a smile. Ava leaned against his arm. He didn’t pull away. “Your clothes are comfortable. And they look better on me anyway.” She expected him to bite back with a comment about her also stealing his shirts, but Bucky remained strangely silent. She frowned at him. “What?” His throat bobbed as he swallowed. “Nothing.” He drew in a breath. “I’m not disagreeing.” “About what?” “About you...” His face suddenly turned pink. “You know. Looking better or whatever.” The air between them shifted, and that was when it hit her. Did Bucky Barnes—badass super soldier who feared nothing and could punch a man clear across America—have a crush on her? Ava felt a traitorous flutter in the pit of her stomach. It wasn’t that she hadn’t entertained the question before—after all, his stupidly gorgeous blue eyes had been haunting her every waking thought since the day they’d gone through the shame rooms together. There were moments when Bucky caught her eye in the heat of combat, and she swore that his gaze softened just a fraction. There were times when he smiled at her after an exhausting day of playing superhero, and it felt like that smile was reserved for only her. There were little things he did around the tower too, like cooking her favorite meals, or deferring to her choice on movie nights, or letting her win at Mario Kart, or complimenting her form during training sessions. And there was, of course, the matter of the vibranium bracelet. The one he’d had custom-made for her. Maybe in isolation, none of this meant a damn thing. But once she added it all up?  Did she even dare hope for that? She decided to test her theory, just to be absolutely sure. “You think I look hot in your clothes?”    Bucky let out a choking noise.    And there she had her answer.    Ava bit her lip, forcing down the adolescent glee bubbling up inside of her. “Relax, I’m just messing with you.” She nudged his arm. “But I think I look hot in your clothes so that’s why I’ve stolen half your wardrobe.”
