Text messages between Sarah Wilson and Sam Wilson

Sarah Today 3:32 PM
Sarah: is the random guy you brought home staying with us tonight?

Sam: I didn't bring him home, he showed up

Sarah: same question

Sam: and you know his name, you knew who he was before he started flirting with you

Sarah: you mean when he introduced himself?

Sam: it was the way he did it

Sam: he had a tone

Sam: you heard him, you know what I mean

Sarah: I also know that you don't usually get this bothered because a friend of yours introduces himself to me, no matter what tone he uses

Sam: I'm not bothered

Sam: and I haven't asked him yet, but probably

Sam: he was clearly looking for an excuse to come down here and offer to help, don't think he'd go to all that trouble if he felt strongly about leaving tonight

Sarah: that was the impression I got, just wanted to double check before starting to figure out dinner

Sam: see, you did notice the flirting

Sarah: I was actually talking about the amount of work he's done since he got here, not the 20 second exchange I had with him hours ago

Sam: oh

Sarah: you definitely seem a little bothered

Sam: I'm not bothered

Sam: he gives me a fucking headache

Sam: and he'd apparently rather pretend that wakanda needs him to make their deliveries for them rather than just text me to say "hey, do you want help?"

Sam: and he'll only talk about serious things if he can be snarky or pissed off about it, it's fucking ridiculous

Sarah: so your type, then?

Sam: that's not what I said

Sam: I'm going back to fixing the boat now

Sarah: you do that

Sam: and nat never pissed me off or gave me a headache like he does

Sam: she and bucky are nothing alike

Sarah: it's interesting that that's where your mind went

Sarah: I didn't even mention natasha

Sam: I'm going back to fixing the boat now
Today 10:25 PM
Sam: okay, speaking purely theoretically, because there is a lot other shit that's a much higher priority before I even start thinking about this kind of thing, you did mean nat, right?

Sarah: yes, I did mean the other reformed assassin you've brought home

Sam: again, I did not bring bucky home, he showed up

Sarah: you had a good argument for that earlier, but he's currently sleeping on our couch

Sarah: you brought him home

Sam: okay, yeah, that's fair

Sam: fine, he's the second reformed assassin I have brought home, but not the way you're implying

Sam: and they're not that similar otherwise

Sarah: really?

Sarah: so you never said that she used snark to hide her feelings?

Sarah: or that she usually did things to show she cared about people rather than say it?

Sarah: and they weren't both brainwashed and experimented on in russia?

Sam: well, she never pissed me off like he does

Sam: and I don't have a type

Sarah: okay, sam

Sarah: if you say so

Sam: you do like him, though, right?

Sarah: yes

Sarah: I'm even planning to flirt with him tomorrow

Sam: oh, shut up

Sarah: I'm serious

Sarah: strong superhero type who shows up to help his friend work on a family project?

Sarah: what's not to like?

Sam: don't flirt with him

Sarah: why not?

Sam: because I'm asking you not to

Sarah: don't get so bothered, he's clearly got hearts in eyes when he looks at you
Sam: I'm not bothered
Sam: and don't say he's doing the bi panic thing, if anyone gets to make that joke it's me

Sarah: again, you went there, not me

Sarah: I wasn't even thinking it, that was all you

Sam: oh

Sarah: go to sleep, sam

Notes:

this isn't exactly a group text from the future, but it is sam reacting to the flirting thing, which hopefully still counts?

(sam does not, in fact, go to sleep after this. he texts wanda to complain because he thinks that having spent time with him, natasha, and occasionally bucky during those years on the run, she will agree with him. she... well.)

anyway, this was a nice study break from finals - thank you for reading! <3 kudos/comments are always appreciated, and most importantly, i hope this made you smile and that you have the best day available to you!

 

also, short rant, plz feel free to skip: i fucking hate that when they decided that natasha needed a love interest, they went with fucking bruce (whose one-on-one interactions with her before that were basically an exercise in "are you about to kill me") and not sam (who she'd actually established lowkey mutual interest in and then spent an entire fucking movie bonding with). and huh, interesting, she basically never talked to bruce again and uhhh spent a shit ton of time with sam.

anyway, if you thought that sam and bucky were very vibe-y in tf&tws (if you didn't, i hope you enjoyed this but also uhh this is definitely a series built on that premise), then I think there is a little bit of an element of "sam, why do you keep having vibes with snarky reformed assassins who have trust issues after decades of being brainwashed and experimented on in russia? that is so incredibly specific and you know many other people."
