[Yelena pauses at that and then gives a definitive nod.]

Yes, actually, it is spicy mac day. My sister is having quality time with her Bucky-boo, so it is the perfect time to experiment in the kitchen with macaroni and hot sauce.

[Zari sighs dramatically, throwing her head back as she does it.] Thank actual God. It's been one of those weeks.

[She lifts her head up to ask,] Bucky-boo? Is she calling him that?

[laviny]

[Without missing a beat:]

Oh, yes. But neither of them will ever admit it.

[This is false, actually. Nat definitely doesn't call Bucky "Bucky-boo." But that won't stop Yelena from telling people she does.]

[Even if her sibling is dead, Zari still appreciates a good trolling. She doesn't even hesitate to just accept it as fact because who really cares? It's funny.

Zari chuckles.] That's love for you. It turns everyone into that couple.

[laviny]

I know, right? It's so silly.

[She shakes her head a little, as though she's mildly exasperated.

Then she gestures for Zari to follow her.]

Come on, let's see what we can find in the kitchen.

[hedgehoghacker]

You don't have to ask me twice. [Zari is quickly following after Yelena. The promise of food always gets her moving.] How do they even find time for love here? Did they get paired up in some crazy wedding ceremony too?

[laviny]

I don't know...

[She pauses and glances back at Zari.]

What weird wedding ceremonies?

[Someone has missed all the arranged marriage events.]

[hedgehoghacker]

[Zari smiles because this is some pretty good tea. Also it's kind of hilarious because it didn't happen to her.] Turns out they were all brainwashed into marrying each other a year ago. That's how he got a husband.
