You took in a deep breath as you got out of the car. "Finally!" you exclaimed. "Air that doesn't smell like city smoke"
"And a surrounding without the never ending traffic noise" Bob added as he closed your car door behind you.
It had been an excruciating couple weeks back at the watchtower, with the whole new avengerZ thing, the anxieties of public facing, Valentina's constantly complaining about everything you guys did, and just dealing with her in general.
So, you'd suggested to Bob that the two of you go to a cozy little cabin for the weekend that your friend had let you borrow.
"Woah this place is way more maintained than I expected," Bob stared ahead in awe, as he gently wrapped an arm around your shoulder.
“ Yeah my friend’s really passionate about this place," You explained. "Says coming here helps her decompress when work gets too much,"
"Oh wow," Bob smiled. "Well I am very excited to spend the weekend here, you know, just the two of us," he placed a kiss on your forehead.
"So am I," You smiled as you looked up at him.
***
You'd spent the better part of an hour settling into the place and cleaning up.
Afterwards, Bob insisted on making your favourite dinner.
Well at least that's what he tried to do for the first ten minutes, until he almost burnt a pan and you had to take over.
Then he was more than happy to do the dishes, of course. When you were done with dinner, the two of you settled by the fireplace.
"So what do you think of this place?" You ask excitedly.
"It's actually really nice," Bob said as he settled beside yon on the floor.
"It's crazy not having to hear Ava and John arguing during dinner about her taking his favourite plate and him saying-"
"It's just a plate, there's nothing to be liked about it." the two of you said at the same time.
"Yeah," you laughed. "That's true,”
"So yeah it's really nice," Bob lifted a shoulder.
"You know, we could do something like this from time to time," he suggested. "If-only if you want of course," he hurriedly added.
You beamed at his suggestion, "Really!? I would love that!".
"Just you and me, away from all the chaos, singing off-key to Matt Maltese," you said.
Bob pouted, "I don't sing off- key,".
"Oh that reminds me," You quickly got up and rushed toward the other side of the room where your bag was.
You pulled out your phone and went back to Bob.
"So I know we're not using any internet here, but-" You quickly tapped on your phone. "I downloaded some stuff before we left,"
"Oh put it on!" Bob said excitedly.
You started playing "Everyone adores you (at least I do)" on your phone.
"Oh I love this one! " Bob rushed hurriedly.
“You can act all shy,” You began singing along, terribly off-key. “But you know that I want you,”.
“In the dead of night, I waaaant to live with you,” Bob joined in.
You quickly reached out for his hands and pulled him up, intertwining your fingers with his.
“Soooo terrrif-i-ed of the road that takes you,” he sang as he spun you around.
“Me too”.
“Doo-on’t modify-a-yy,” You sang.
“Everyone adores you, at least I do,” The two of you sang together.
"I love you," You said and placed a quick kiss to Bob’s mouth.
He smiled before wrapping his arms around your waist, pulling you close. “I love you too darling,” he murmured as he pulled you in for another kiss.
A/n- Reader mentioned to be someone who indulges in combat, kate bishop, mutual pining, slight banter, reader being scared of haunted house, me not knowing what goes on in a haunted house
Lookie lookie who's back after a long, god awful writing slump. As you can see, I'm very clearly behind on schedule but I'll try my best to catch up on the fics😔🙏
In the meantime do check out the prompts still left for flufftober!
requested by- @mevlliflous hope u like this lovely 🫶
You could take down a whole group of armed people in under a minute, could scale buildings, could dodge multiple bullets at once, but the one thing you couldn't do, was make it through horror movies.
Or worse yet, haunted houses.
So when your friend Kate had asked you and Yelena to come along to a haunted house with her, Yelena had immediately agreed.
You had immediately disagreed.
So your two best friends had practically dragged you along to the haunted house with them.
"Oh god I have the absolute worst feeling about this," You nervously tugged at the collar of your shirt as you sat in the backseat of the car.
"Don't worry," Yelena briefly looked over to you as she drove.
"I'll be there to protect you," she offered you a grin.
You rolled your eyes and scoffed, but couldn't ignore the heat that crept up to your cheeks.
"Relax! It's gonna be fun! " Kate cheered. "Besides there's nothing really scary apart from the jumpscares," she shrugged.
"Yeah and I hate those," you winced.
"I literally saw you take down three guys who jumped you during a mission one time," Yelena gave you a blank stare.
"Yeah and that was different," you waved a hand. "This is different, I just don't like ghosts," you sighed.
Before entering the haunted house, the three of you had made a pact to stay together, for your sake.
But Kate had gone a different way as soon as you entered.
So, it was just you and Yelena, going inside the haunted house.
You fiddled with your sleeves as you looked around wincing for far longer than usual.
Yelena walked with her usual ease.
"Loosen up legushuka, nothing’s gonna happen to you," She waved a hand.
You sighed, “It's easy for-”.
“Wait, did you just call me a frog!?” You parted your lips in shock.
Yelena shrugged “Yes, because you jump when you're excit-” she paused
“Aww are you learning russian for me?” she beamed.
“What? no!” You scoffed. “I'm not learning a language that has a whole different alphabet, just for you,” you rolled your eyes.
“Ah but you will someday,” Yelena poured.
“Nuh uh” You shook your head.
“I know you will,” She shrugged.
“But how'd you know what lyegushka means then?” She tilted her head sideways.
“I write down the Russian words you use for me and google them,” you admitted.
Yelena clicked her tongue, “Yeah that checks out,”.
“But ay I still see that as effort,” she pointed her hands in your direction.
You raised an eyebrow, “Effort for what?”.
A sly grin passed over her lips, “You're making efforts, you know, to impress me,” she shrugged. “win me over,”.
You scoffed, “Absolutely not” you rolled.
Yelena slowly nodded, “Mm sure,”.
”But you will accept it someday, I know,” she gently bumped your shoulder with hers.
”Whatever,” You shook your head.
You know she was joking, but still you couldn’t fight off the smile that crept onto your features.
Before you blinked, a woman in a witch costume appeared in front of you and grabbed you by the arms as she cackled.
You scream practically turned into a shriek as you attempted to move away from her.
You tried very hard to remind yourself it's just a lady in a terrible costume.
Soon enough, the so-called witch walked away.
You breathed rapidly
Then froze when you realised, Yelena had her arms wrapped around you.
When you looked at her hand, then back at her, she quickly pulled away.
“Told you I’d protect you,” she mumbled and turned away, but not before you noticed the very clearly visible blush on her face.
As you continued to walk ahead, she suddenly cleared her throat, “We should um,”
You looked at her.
“We should hold hands…I think” she suggested.
You blinked
“You know…just like, so you get less scared..” Yelena slowly lifted a shoulder but refused to meet your gaze.
You looked down at your feet.
It wasn’t just the haunted house that was going to give you an arrhythmia today.
“O-okay,” You said, but your voice came out too small.
You cleared your throat, “Okay” you said, louder this time.
She quietly slipped her hand into yours. And you felt your heart nearly implode.
The two of you walked in silence, not daring to look at each other.
But Yelena didn't waste a second from wrapping her arms around you the next time you got scared.
After what didn't feel like a very long time, you were out of the haunted house and finally, you were able to breathe.
You were soon joined by Kate as you made your way out.
"Oh sorry guys I didn't stick around," She ran towards you breathless as she spoke. "I HAD to check out the room with those crazy knives".
“How'd it go with you guys?” she asked.
“Oh you know,” Yelena lifted a shoulder. “Nothing unusual, her soul almost left her body multiple times.” she pointed a thumb at you.
You scoffed, “No it did not!”.
“Mm definitely would've,” Kate clicked her tongue.
“Sure did,” Yelena nodded.
You rolled your eyes but didn't let go of her hand, and she didn't let go of yours.
