some vault squad! polybolts headcannons
They all love bullying John as much as possible but now avoid gaslighting/intentionally spreading misinformation to ragebait once they realized that John earnestly believes anything they say without question.
When Yelena is in a really bad mood she tends to seek out John because she knows he won’t take anything bad she says personally. He does the same with her.
Ava, Yelena, and Bob are all extremely possessive and easily jealous. Surprisingly John is not at all. They all love Olivia though.
When Sam found out the team consisted of a polycule, Yelena’s dad, and Bucky, he laughed in Bucky’s face for 10 minutes straight. He still chuckles to himself thinking about it sometimes.
Surprisingly Ava is the weakest to Bob's pouting--she caves in at the slightest hint of puppy dog eyes
Yelena is asexual and isn’t interested in sex at all, Ava has a low sex drive due to her chronic pain, and John is only feels attraction if he loves someone. For a while Bob felt disgusting because he was sexually attracted to the other three and felt like he was defiling the purity of their relationship until the others reassured him. Also one day John woke up INSANELY attracted to the others and had a whole breakdown about being in love with them. Once things calm down, Bob and John have the most sexual relationship of the group, though Ava will join in at times.
Ava and Yelena like to do girl's nights -- eat pizza, wear facemasks and paint their nails, and watch unsolved crime documentaries and trying to guess if Bucky is responsible.
John and Yelena both like to talk through movies. Bob and Ava both hate it and constantly tell them to shut the hell up. It got to the point where Ava and Bob will pre-watch movie night movies together so that they don't get annoyed during actual movie night.
Once they get together Yelena refuses to sleep in her own bed—she just rotates out who she stays with. With Ava, she is the big spoon and will run her hands over Ava, reassuring her that she is still solid. With Bob, they tend to lie down facing together with their hands clasped and they just talk until they both fall asleep. With John, she likes to lay on his chest and have him wrap his arms tightly around her
They all have questionable senses of morality and are terrible influences on each other. More than once Bucky has woken up in the middle of the night and had to wrangle these idiots before they caused a media scandal. Sam continues to laugh at him every time he tries to complain.
