Reader x Yelena - Relaxing after a mission
I wrote this prompt for both Natasha and now Yelena. Set before Thunderbolts. I hc at least a two - three year gap between Hawkeye and Thunderbolts. But, I will include a few references to Thunderbolts era stuff since some people want that. No spoilers for the movie and only small references.
* Unlike Nat, Yelena will just drop her gear on the ground and look for you to give you the hardest hug she possibly can, or if you're asleep, a gentle kiss so she can greet you, but not wake you. Trust me, her impulsive side wants to wake you up to spend time together, but her logical side wins out. ( You usually communicate as to when she will be coming back, if she can.)
* She'll try her best to shower on the craft. Sure, she sometimes is a bit dirty, but she wants you more - if you'll let her give you affection while being a bit dirty. If you're up, she just wants to show her love so badly because she's missed you so much. She'll literally tackle you to lead you to the couch/ chair/bed. She'll cover you with kisses. When you ask what this is for, she always says, "I have a lot to catch up on," she says with a cute grin.
* She was still healing from the events during Christmas, but you were astounded by her progress, as you couldn't imagine healing from the loss of a sister and the chaos that she was thrust into with the rest of her family. Yelena wasn't perfect, far from it. There were a lot of nights of tears or having drinks, but other than that, you were astounded by her strength. In the Thunderbolts era, she chooses to live separately from the others with you. She cares for her teammates, but she needs time to be herself, and part of herself is with you.
*She loves takeout, but for her first meal back, she usually craves her usual mac and cheese and hot sauce combo. No, it doesn't matter if she comes home at 1 am. She also loves edamame, Lucky Charms, Fanta, and potato soup ingredients.
* The next day, she is lazy and she doesn't give a damn. It's sweatpants and a sweater (Regardless of the time of year), fuzzy socks, and no bra. Her hair is down and barely brushed. As for talking to others - communication, who? She might text Kate back to say hello, but she usually waits a day for anyone. If it's in the Thunderbolts era? They can fuck allllll the way off. (Except for maybe a text or two for Bob to tell him she's okay, and that's usually right when she's arrived home.)
* She's starting to try out new genres of media. Anime /animation in general is something she's trying out at the moment - like Studio Ghibli, and if this is set to now, she would be interested in Kpop Demon Hunters. Another week, she could be interested in foreign game shows.
*She doesn't want to go outside except to care for Fanny, which you always offer to do, but she insists so Fanny can be reminded of who the head honcho is. (If set in recent day, Surprise! You have a pet guinea pig now.)
* She's extremely cuddly the next day. She'd love to watch you play a game, have you read a book to her, or join you as you go about your business. Basically, she wants to get involved with your hobbies. If you happen to play a game where you create a character, whether a video game or dnd, she'll want to create her own character, but she'll be too shy to share it with you.
* She will not leave the house as said before, but she will sometimes shop online. For example, she's never been crafty, but sometimes she'll get inspired to go on an online shopping spree for crafting supplies. She's horrified by the time the boxes arrive, seeing how much she ordered and how much they cost. You usually suggest going to the craft store in person so she can 1. Have fun seeing all the pretty colors with you. 2. Get extra craft ideas. 3. See the prices in person and see how much she's bought in her cart.
* Speaking of crafting, she decided on something else completely -decorating cookies. (Based on Flo) Does she want to bake the cookies? No. But does she want to decorate them? Hell yeah. She also loves decorating cupcakes. If she is going to use her craft supplies, she would want to try beading! She also loves coloring.
*She works on an indoor garden/plants. She brought home a few succulents and has been babying them ever since.
