bob is genuinely so funny once he feels comfortable around the team. i feel like he’s definitely the type to try and joke off elements of his past, which is good in theory until walker and alexei are bickering in the kitchen trying to make dinner, and when yelena teases him about how enthralled but also irritated he seems by the whole thing, bob looks directly at her like “i have literally had drug deals go smoother than this”
HE IS !! i think bob is very funny especially in a dry sort of way. the kind of humor where he says something and then everyone kind of pauses and double takes and then loses it laughing because what did he just say?! anyway i could imagine this quite clearly so here is some team fluff <3

At first, Yelena actually thought that Bob might have been triggered.
She’d seen his shame rooms, understood that arguing might have been a sensitive point for him. So, when Bob froze at the kitchen counter, staring at Alexei and John as they bickered at the stove, Yelena worried he might have been upset.
Then, just as she started to say something, Bob’s lips curled upward just enough to notice. Yelena sighed as she realized that Bob wasn’t bothered, he was amused.
Bob leaned his elbows against the counter, eyes flickering back and forth between Alexei and John as they argued. John waved a spatula like it was a weapon, Alexei aggressively pointing with a spoon as they argued over whether their sauce needed more seasoning.
Yelena tilted her head as she watched Bob’s expression shift between irritation, fascination, and amusement as words pierced the air and drops of sauce hit the floor.
“You look like you can’t decide if this is the best thing you’ve ever watched or the worst,” Yelena teased. She nudged Bob’s shoulder and he smirked. “Should I make some popcorn?”
Bob didn’t look away from the madness, his voice flat when he said, “I have literally had drug deals go smoother than this.”
“I was not expecting that comparison.” Yelena snorted, one eye on Alexei and John, who seemed to be oblivious to the discussion happening behind them.
“We’re not adding more garlic!” shouted John. He bonked Alexei’s spoon with his spatula, his glare so narrow his eyes were practically closed. “There’s already too much in there, you’re going to ruin the damn dinner!”
Alexei jabbed the spoon toward him, more sauce splattering on the tile beside his feet. “If you cannot feel the garlic, what is the point in adding it?”
The pot of sauce hissed suddenly, interrupting John’s next response as it bubbled over. Liquid dripped and burned on the surface of the stove and John groaned, clearly lamenting the mess he would have to clean up later.
“No, seriously,” Bob muttered, glancing at Yelena, “I once saw a guy get stabbed and he made up with his attacker faster than this.”
That pushed Yelena over the edge. She doubled over laughing, arms wrapped around her stomach. Finally, John and Alexei stopped bickering as they turned to look at Ava. It seemed neither one of them had heard what led to her laughter.
“You think this is funny?” asked John. He pointed his spatula at Bob and Yelena, lips curling upward as he raised his brows at them. “If you think you can do better, you make dinner.”
“Hey, man,” Bob started, hands raised in defense, “my cooking skill start and end in the lab. Unless we’re having meth for dinner, you don’t want me to touch that. Happy to teach you the shake-and-bake method if we are, though.”
John huffed, more amused than he wanted to let on. “Stand up. I’ll teach you the shake-and-bake method. For vegetables, to be clear. This sauce is done for anyway.”
“Mm.” Alexei stuck his spoon into the pot as Bob jumped out of his seat and walked over to John. He licked the back of the spoon and nodded. “I think it tastes delicious.”
my mom told me that her grandpa used to pull over on busy roads all the time bc her grandma would see a pretty flower and want to pick it. that’s eddie
BITCH THAT WOULD BE SO CUTE !!!!!!! even just buying flowers in general though. or small gifts. he’d pick up something from the store and be like yeah cause remember that one time u said u liked it FUCK
is this a safe space to talk ab the potential of boblena x reader bc…GIRL…..
YEEESSSS I think I saw a boblena x pregnant reader hc on ur blog and that was all I needed like I sat up IMMEDIATELY ... my space is always safe for boblena x reader thoughts
the venn diagram between bob and eddie from it is a circle. i could totally see little bob being a perpetually nervous hypochondriac. also, the SASS. that scene from c2 with richie asking eddie about him getting married and eddie immediately being like “YEAH WHYS THAT SO FUCKIN FUNNY DICKWAD???” is bob as FUCK
UGH YES I'd never even thought of this bc it's been a hot minute since I watched IT but i can 100% see bob being a nervous hypochondriac and just always trying really hard to stop himself from getting into anything crazy even though trouble always seems to find him... also that sass/humour as a defence mechanism but also a way of showing his love... let's open this can of worms...
