Or maybe everyone is just pretending. [ she counters with a shrug. for someone so small, yelena can eat a lot more than it might seem. although she knows for a fact that 90% of the food before them will fall into the endless void that seems to be bucky's stomach.
she very carefully grabs one of the hotdogs and grimaces at it. yelena wants to whine about how weird it looks but she holds it back. instead she takes a deep breath and attempts to take a bite only to pull away at the last second. she shakes her head, annoyed at herself and then very quickly takes a bite.
there's a moment between when she takes the bite and when the flavours can register. they're still warm which is pleasant and... she's annoyed to find that she doesn't actually hate it. shit. yelena tries and fails to look disgusted as she chews. ] ...Gross. [ she says after swallowing the first bite, trying not to smile. ]
( he knows she'll likely argue the point just to be contrarian. it's a normal part of their banter and always more playful than it is malicious, though he knows better than to push too hard if she ever seems genuinely disgusted.
her training is just as impressive as his own, so her ability to keep from slipping is just as honed. but one advantage bucky has over everyone else is also knowing the subtle parts of yelena that are now truly her and not the assassin they built.
this time, it's the tone of her voice, the faintest twitch at the corner of her mouth. )
Gross, huh? ( bucky agrees plainly, reaching for the other dog in the box and taking a bite for himself. )
Yeah. Definitely disgusting. ( covers his mouth as he speaks between chews, the laughter clear in his words and eyes. )
[ she's not trying exceptionally hard to hide now, she can see him clock her lie. the hotdog, in all it's sauerkraut-nesss, is actually kind of good. enough that she could see herself finishing it. she contemplates lying but there's actually something sweet in the idea of enjoying something he likes. ]
How do you eat these? [ she asks just before taking another bite. she makes a show of rolling her eyes as she finishes chewing her second bite. ] Fine, you were right. It's not bad, are you happy to prove me wrong?
( bucky watches her, always entertained even by the way she eats. she can't even help being unable to hide the way she enjoys it, and it's goddamn cute. )
Not really, no, ( he chuckles. ) Honestly, I'm more glad you like it at all since that means we can share something else like we always do.
( he gives her a pointed grin before taking another bite. )
no worries! i get it, life just be happening to us at all times
[ she takes another bite of the hotdog, already seriously considering another but she remembers the tacos when she finally looks away from bucky.
yelena's head drops back, rolling her eyes theatrically. what he says is so sickeningly adorable it makes her stomach flutter. when she looks back at him she's smiling again, something soft around the edges. ] Do you always have to be so goddamn sweet?
