“we live in chicago, who knows.” yelena walking in second after bucky as she rolled her eyes, shaking her head at his dramatic complaints. “i blame global warming” steve stepping in last as yelena and bucky had already made their way into the kitchen to find amara filling a bowl with popcorn that was definitely well over 3 months old. “stop trying to sound smart steven” amara snorted, teasing her friend as he joined her and the rest in the kitchen. “hey, i’ll have you know sounding smart comes easy to me, so i don’t have to try” steve spoke, raising his finger to amara as if he were meant to have glasses and a lisp. “uhhh you finished the year off with two d’s and three c’s…not exactly a genius” bucky’s brows furrowed as he turned to call steve out on his bullshit, “yeah, honestly i don’t even know how you were still allowed on the team” yelena scoffed joining in on bucky’s tormenting “it’s because he kisses their ass” bucky’s words causing laughs to arise from everyone but steve who was now glaring at james after he shoved steve’s shoulder playfully. “um no actually i kiss A ass, as in only ONE, coach lance’s” roger’s putting emphasis in his argument of ass kissing “i feel like that’s somehow worse” amara croaked out, now turning around to face the rest of them as she held the big bowl of popcorn. “and bucky, you are the last person to be talking about grades” steve adding onto his case, trying to switch the topic off of annoyingly jabbing at him and his shady football jock tactics. “mm’ but i also didn’t claim to be big brains, like you did.”

the room falling silent as steve tried to think of an argumentative response before finally giving in and just settling for a mumbled “shut the hell up.” “yes please” yelena tossing her own comment in as the four of them plopped down onto the couch, amara turning on the tv to amc channel so that they could all watch the newest episode of the walking dead “listening to you two go back and fourth is like listening to wild animals fight over food crumbs.” “wait speaking of wild animals, where is everyone amara?” steve ignoring yelena with an eye roll and attitude before he turned to amara asking her the whereabouts of the rest of the gallagher family. “oh they’re out, i think they’re down at the alibi watching the cubs game,” amara popping a piece of popcorn into her mouth before she continued “it’s 2 free beers night” her words muffled as she chewed, looking at the tv as they all waited for the clock to strike 8:30 so that they would air the episode. “damn,” bucky groaning loudly, dragging out his words as he threw his head back against the cushions of the couch they all spread upon “free beers night!?!! why are we here and not there??” a huff falling from amara as she looked over at bucky, “you act as if kev would even give us a sip of beer” james turning his head to look at amara who was sat right next to him “uh duh that’s why we sneak the beers, like always” yelena speaking with a confused look on her face as she hummed “mmm wait if that’s the case then wouldn’t every night be free beers night?” “OKAY WHATEVER,” bucky cutting yelena off with another irritated groan “forget it.” his arms crossing against his chest as he sunk down into the couch, pouting. “it’s okay, we’ll go next saturday” amara spoke to him softly, sinking down against the couch just as he did to get onto his level. amara pushing the bowl of popcorn over to bucky as she offered him some in hopes that he would stop jutting his lip.

soon the walking dead episode had finally come on, and of course like always 10 minutes in and yelena and steve were already fast asleep, sprawled out, as they unconsciously fought for space on the couch. bucky had been hyper aware of how close amara was for last 20 minutes, their shoulders touching. “they just need to kill the governor, he is so annoying” amara mumbled, trying to stay quiet as to not wake the two next to them who were sleeping like babies. “andrea is pissing me off” bucky’s reply coming out with a sigh and a shake of his head “she only thinks she loves him because she can’t find dick anywhere else, but then again it is the zombie apocalypse so, kind of understandable” amara’s words muffled as she spoke up in between tossing popcorn in her mouth “what? so you’re saying you would do the same if you were her?” his brows furrowed and his eyes widened at her words, looking over at amara, bucky arched his brow in question. “well i mean no, but like if he was someone that i really thought i loved then yeah i would stay with him,” her shoulders shrugging as she made her point in the argument of to stay or to go “you know, like if the governor was some else like, i don’t know, you? then yeah” amara’s words made bucky pause and look away from the tv and back over to her “…really? you’d stay if that was me?” the feeling of his heart fluttering made a soft smile paint his face “yeah, of course, it’s you.” the room falling silent, only the muffled sound of the tv playing as they both looked at each other for just a moment, bucky being the first to tear his eyes from hers so that she wouldn’t be able to catch the way he was flighting off his smile, but she had already peeped his dimples long ago. “well, then i guess i’d stay if it was you too” “oh wow, you guess? i’m hurt james. very hurt.” amara finally letting her eyes trail back to the screen as she shoved him at his words, the two both laughing gently as the episode continued.
