yelena was having a good day.
it's her first time in new york and she finally got to visit her sestra, natasha, after completing her long task of freeing the other widows from being psychologically manipulated by dreykov.
plus, it's christmas season. oh how yelena loves the thought of american christmases. and now, she's finally living it.
for the two days she's been in the big apple, she visited most of the spots in her list- from the empire state building to the statue of liberty to taking a walk at central park then having a late snack at high line, just watching people sit there and converse or do what normal people do on a regular basis.
natasha insisted to join her sister, giving her a tour. but yelena politely declined the offer and said she wanted to explore the city herself.
there was a sense of fulfillment for yelena. seeing the kind of life she's gonna have, now that she's freed from being manipulated as a black widow.
but yelena saved the rockefeller center, she wanted to visit and see that huge christmas tree with her dear sister. and she's so looking forward to it.
yelena enjoyed the day she had.
but the feeling totally vanished when she opened the door to natasha's new place and saw a lone figure of a blonde lounging in the couch, playing with that annoying cat of hers. what's its name? moose?
ah shit, here we go again. yelena thinks.
she's so sick of having the need to socialize with this woman, let alone breathe the same air she does. if it weren't for her sister, she would have already strangled this woman to death.
she did actually and almost succeeded if it weren't for natasha coming into that door and stopping her.
this woman is just so annoying to yelena. she doesn't care if she's the mighty captain marvel who helped saved the world. she just hates the woman, she doesn't know why, but she does.
but this woman is also who her sister, who she loves so dearly, loves. the love of her life, natasha once said, yelena almost puked. what is it with humans and the need to express their feelings? all the fucking time?
knowing carol is special to natasha is what keeps yelena sane in this situation or in other words, what's stopping her in murdering the glowing blonde woman.
her patience is always tested ever since she stepped foot in new york.
she walked pass carol, with that resting face on. yelena's too tired from the long day she had to even acknowledge her presence. thank god carol didn't even try to dither and let herself be, now playing with natasha's cat, liho.
yelena entered natasha's office.
"seriously, natasha?"
natasha turned her hologram computer to sleep as soon as she heard her sister's voice. "oh good, you're back."
yelena, in her thick russian accent, complained. "i can't believe you, tasha. that girl, really?"
natasha faced her, with that smile yelena knows she's just faking to get away from the situation. "how was your day, little sister?"
"oh stop changing the topic, natasha. why are you dating that carol danvers?"
"because i love her?" natasha almost snickers as she answered.
yelena sighed frustratingly. natasha only laughed. yelena is such a child sometimes, the overprotective sister natasha knows. natasha thought she's the overprotective one, yet yelena exists.
the redhead just ruffled the blonde's hair. "don't worry, i'm sure you and carol will get along soon."
"impossible! i don't trust that woman." yelena angrily pouts.
natasha just chuckles. "whatever floats your boat, sestra." yelena was about to leave when natasha spoke again. "oh, i'll be preparing dinner as soon as i'm finished with these updates. help carol chop the potatoes, will you?"
yelena glared at her and left the room blabbering something in russian that natasha was sure meant yelena's going to stab carol with the knife she will be using to chop the potatoes.
natasha just shakes her head and smiled. she can't wait for the day yelena and carol comes home late after a long night of having drinks together.
...
and the day finally came- after a long, hard week.
natasha can hear noises of people coming into her house.
she glanced at her watch, 2:13 a.m. it must be them, she thought.
"tony, i'll call you back." she smiled as she ended the call she was having with her friend slash co-avenger.
and she was right. it was her two favorite people who just came home.
"sestra! we're home!" yelena shouted, sounding like any drunk, wasted person should.
"baby, where are you? you have to know what yelena did at the pub!" natasha can hear an also drunk carol calling her, laughing in the process.
natasha reached the living room with a sight of indeed a drunk carol and yelena. before natasha could even greet them, the two were already slumped into the couch, however they clumsily did it.
carol and yelena's laugh was music to natasha's ears. she just stood there and smiled looking at her dearest sister and the love of her life.
"you guys are home. how was your night?" natasha wasn't even expecting to get a coherent answer from these two.
carol answered, almost too happy at it. she was laughing. "you wouldn't believe what yelena did, nat!"
natasha just smirked, looking at the two.
carol continued. "she won the beer-chugging contest!"
not surprising, natasha thinks.
"and like i lost... because i had too much to drink already, and then she took my place and guess what? she won again!" carol's laugh was all over the room.
yelena giggles looking at natasha, eyes half-lidded. "i have two trophies." the russian blonde gulped.
"oh wait yelena, where are your trophies?"
"what?! i told you to bring it, danvers!"
the two then started squirming, hoping to find whatever trophy there actually isn't.
natasha contains her laughter, but she was so amused at how carol and yelena have finally warmed up with each other.
after giving up on finding the trophies their drunk asses might have left somewhere, carol and yelena settled on the couch giggling.
"oh nat, you should have joined us tonight, baby. we had so much fun!" carol smiles stupidly at her girlfriend.
yelena turned to her sister with all her might. and surprisingly, with a small smile. "твоя подружка глупая, но она мне нравится"
"i knew it." natasha whispers to herself and smiled with what her sister said.
she glanced at carol and yelena one more time before she left them to be. however their drunk asses will find themselves comfortable sleeping in the couch is not her problem anymore.
she was just glad that the two of her most favorite people in the world have finally got along.
