Starlight (Yelena Belova and Kate Bishop one shots)

Help me (1)

You get beaten up by your homophobic father. Having no where else to go, you decide to crash at your ex's place. How will she react ? (you're 17 and Yelena 18).

You were shivering in the cold winter air, tears rolling on your face.

The snowflakes melting on your cheeks eased the pain in the left side of your face a little. But it still hurt like a bitch.

When you finally made it in front of Yelena's door, you stopped and took a deep breath.

You really didn't have anywhere else to go but you were still scared she woudn't want to see you.

After all, your break up had been pretty...chaotic. Chaotic meaning you had broken Yelena's heart in thousands of peaces.

You took another deep breath and finally found the strengh to knock on the door. What could go wrong right ?

" Y/n ? " The blonde opened the door, staring at you with wide eyes. " Wh...What are you doing here ? It's the middle of the night ! "

You wanted to reply something, find the right words to apologize but you were so cold. And Yelena was so beautiful. You had almost forgotten how cute she looked when she was sleepy like this.

" So ? Are you going to explain or... Wait. " She gave you a very concerned look and removed a strand of hair from your face.
" You're crying ! And is this a black eye ? "

You couldn't hold back anymore and more tears started coming down your face.

" Okay you're definitely crying." 
Yelena sighted. " If you're here, I'm guessing you don't have anywhere else to go so...why don't you go in ? We can figure everything out tomorrow okay ? "

You nodded and she backed off to let you in. The warmth immediately made you feel better but you didn't manage to stop crying.

You didn't deserve Yelena's kindness. Not after everything you had done to her. And yet there she was, helping you out in the middle of the night.

" Sit down. I'm gonna get some ice for your eye. "

The blonde left the room and came back with a bag of icecubs.

" There you go. " Yelena gently pressed the bag against your swollen eye. " I know it's cold but it will help with the pain. "

She was so gentle, so nice, you coudn't help but ask :

" Why are you doing this ? We both know I don't deserve your help..."

" Do you think so little of me you really believed I was going to let you freeze outside ? " The blonde avoided your gaze. " It's not the case for everyone but some people do have a heart you know ? "

That one hurt but it was only fair.

" I'm going to let you settle down for the night. " Yelena sighted after she was done treating your injuries. " If you need anything, you know where to find me. "

She left the room and you fought the urge to ask her to stay.
You needed her to hold you, now more than ever, but you knew this would be crossing a line. You and Yelena weren't together anymore after all.

You grabbed some blankets and laid down on the couch, hoping that sleep would help you find some kind of peace. And that you would be brave enough to tell Yelena everything in the morning.

" Get back here you whore ! " Your father screamed in the background as you ran toward the door. " Get back here so that I can teach respect ! "
