Hey hey, y'all! Coming atcha with another WidowFam AU fic. Don't worry, this won't be as emotional as the last one. I promise.
If you love Yelena, and her vest(as you should), then you're on the right page. Enjoy!
***Romanoff/Belova/Shostakov/Vostokoff Home, Ohio***
"I'm home!" Yelena Belova announced as she stepped through the front door.
It had been a long day, but thankfully, it was Thursday. Meaning tomorrow was Friday and then the freedom of the weekend.
Yelena had just come from a study date with her boyfriend, James Buchanan Barnes. Bucky to his friends, including her. The study part was at his house. The date part consisted of them going to Target the "window shop" and getting Starbucks as well.
Three good things came from it all. One, she got to spend time with Bucky. That was always number one. Two, she finished all of her studying for project tomorrow and had downloaded her notes for it onto a drive for tomorrow. And three, Yelena had bought some very special for herself... and she LOVED it!
Walking in, she passed the living room and found her big sister, Natasha Romanoff and her boyfriend Steve Rogers on the couch, studying.
"Hey, Steve." She waved to him.
"Yelena." The buff blond nodded to his girlfriend's sister. "Buck drop you off?"
"He did indeed. Your best friend is a gentleman boyfriend." Yelena interlocked her hands dramatically with a smile.
Steve nodded in agreement with her. However, as he did, he took in her new attire that she didn't have earlier that day. He wasn't the only one that noticed it though.
"That a new vest?" Natasha spoke up, almost as if she read his mind.
"Yeah, it is!" As if she was waiting for someone to mention it, Yelena smiled and did a 360° to show it off. "We were at a Wal-Mart and I saw it and fell in love with it! Look at all these pockets!"
Natasha, from what she could see from the couch, noticed the pockets and could see Yelena was excited about it. "Pockets, huh?"
"Yeah, it's so cool! You could put so much stuff in these!"
"Like what, your ChapStick? Maybe a tampon?"
"Ugh, whatever, you poser." Her sister retorted, rolling her eyes. "Where's Mom and Dad?"
"At the store. Need me to text them to get something for you?"
"Nah, I'm good." And then she went up to her room.
As she did, Steve scoffed and shook his head with a smile. This did not go unnoticed by Natasha.
"What?" She said, wondering what he was laughing at.
Steve shook his head and tried to contain his laughter. "Nothing. It's just, the two of you. The back and forth shots you toss at each other, it's... oddly entertaining."
Natasha feigned shock before smirking and thumping Steve on his forehead, resulting in him laughing more and Natasha eventually joining in.
***Kitchen***
The next morning, everyone was getting ready for the day. Melina Vostokoff, their mother, had made breakfast and called the girls down to come eat, while Alexei Shostakov, their father, already sat at the dining table, sipping a cup of coffee while looking at something on his phone.
"Hey Dad, Mama." Natasha greeted as she entered the room.
"Good morning," "Morning, baby girl." Her parents replied.
"Is your sister awake yet?" Melina asked her as she gave Natasha her plate.
Natasha sat down at the table with her Dad and her food. "Yep, she should be down pretty soon."
And just as she said, Yelena was downstairs quick. Both in timing and in the speed she was going.
She ran into the dining room, a worried, frantic expression on her face and looked right at Natasha.
"Nat, did you see the flashdrive?" She asked her.
Natasha swallowed a mouthful of food and then answered, "What flashdrive?"
"The one I had my notes on for today. I can't find it!"
But Nat shrugged and shook her head. "I didn't know anything about it."
Hearing that, Yelena groaning and cursed under her breath.
"Do you remember where you had it last?" Alexei asked her as he took another sip of his coffee.
Taking in her father's words, Yelena did her best to think back. Thinking hard, all she remembered was uploading her notes to it when she was at Bucky's house. Wait, Bucky!
"That's it!" She said before heading out and running back up the stairs. "Thanks Daddy!"
Hearing that, Alexei smirked and looked over at Melina and winked at her. "I've still got it."
He wiggled his eyebrows at her and she giggled and shook her head at her husband's cocky flirtation.
"Eating here!" Natasha said, waving her fork at the two.
The two stifled their flirting, mostly on Alexei's end, but the smirk and smile still held firm.
***Natasha and Yelena's Room***
Yelena had ran back up to her and her sister's room, grabbed her phone and called Bucky.
Her anxiety poked at her as she waited through the dial tones. 1... 2... 3... 4-
"Hello?" She heard on the other end.
"Bucky!"
"Hey Yelena, what's up?"
"Hey, did I leave my flashdrive over there yesterday? I need it for today, but I can't find it."
"Uh, no. No, no it's not here. Don't you remember?"
"Remember what?"
A snicker and a chuckle could be heard on the other end, but this wasn't funny to Yelena.
"Are you laughing?" She asked, her tone giving off a bit of a warning
"Nope! No, I'm no-hahaha! I'm not! I'm not. I promise."
"James!"
"Ok! Ok! Check your vest. Lower pocket left hand side."
Yelena furrowed her eyebrows at that and walked over to he closet. Opening it, she found and pulled out the vest she bought yesterday and checked the pocket Bucky had mentioned.
As soon as she dipped her fingers in, she felt something and pulled out the flashdrive she had been looking for.
A wave of relief came over her as she fell backwards onto Natasha's bed and let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank god, I found it!" She said. But then, she had a curious thought. "Wait, how did you know where it was?"
"Remember yesterday when you were showing off how good the vest looked on you and how cool the pockets were? You slipped the drive in there to prove how handy it would be on carrying things." Bucky explained.
As her boyfriend explained, the memory came back and she laughed at herself for forgetting.
"Oh, who's laughing now, huh?" Bucky said, laughing along with her.
"Shut up," Yelena shot back, still laughing.
As she did, she looked at the flashdrive and then back to the vest as it hung in the closet.
It was crazy that the drive had been there the whole time and she didn't even remember. But in a way, it furthered her point on how handy the vest was with carrying things.
Something told her that this wouldn't be the end of the crazy adventures with the vest.
Hahaha, I liked that! I really did! A little Yelena/Vest craze there LoL. This idea came to me rewatching Black Widow the other day and I really wanted to write it. It really speaks on Yelena's words on how you could put so much into those pockets and you wouldn't even know. 😂😂 It just fit so well in my mind and I just had to do this oneshot. So I hope you guys like this!
I do have an idea for a sequel oneshot to this, but we'll see how this one goes. You guys lmk if you want to see another piece with Yelena and her vest. 😁😁
Also, Yelena's in Hawkeye now! AHHHHHhhhhhHhhHH! I can't wait to see her/Florence in more scenes, I love her SO MUCH! 😍😍😍😍💙💙💙💙💙💙
OK...I'm calm now hehe 😁
See you guys later! ✌
