Starlight (Yelena Belova and Kate Bishop one shots)

Make a choice

You know your friend, Peter, has a crush on you. You also know that he's a very sweet boy who would make you very happy. So why do you keep thinking about a cute blonde assassin when you're with him ? Also, you're from the Red Room in this story.

" You like it ? " Peter asked, pointing at the beautiful sunset in front of you. " I have never taken anyone here but I thought you should see it too. "

You nodded and smiled. This place, on one of the highest buildings in the city really was something.

Having a friend who could fly had its perks. Especially when this friend was desperate to impress you.

You sighted quietly, knowing that Peter had only let you come to his secret spot to...well kiss you. Or at least make a move.

It was a great thing, really. You absolutely wanted this.

Peter was a nice boy and girls were supposed to enjoy kissing nice boys. Weren't they ?

Like you had predicted, your friend quickly stopped admiring the sky to look at you.

His eyes were full of something you couldn't quite identify, shining with love and tenderness. Yep, definitely a nice boy.

" Is it...is it okay if I do this ? " Peter asked, cupping your cheeks. " I don't want to make you uncomfortable. "

" You're not making me uncomfortable. " You smiled at him. " Go ahead. "

He nodded nervously before pulling you a deep kiss.

His lips were warm against yours, his strong arm wrapped around you and somehow, you found yourself enjoying it.

Until you realized the strong arms and soft lips you were thinking about were definitely not his. Well, shit.

You were trying to find an excuse to pull away without hurting him when your phone started ringing.

" I'm sorry. " You apologized, sliently thanking whoever had made the call. " I have to take this. "

You walked away before picking up.

" Y/n ? " Natasha's nervous voice immediately told you something was wrong.
" Would you happen to be near Time Square ? I think Yelena needs back up. When I contacted her, she admitted her mission was getting a bit out of hand and I'm too far to get here in time. Will you please help her ? "

" Sure, me and Peter are coming."

" The kid won't be of any use here Y/n " Natasha sighted through the phone. " You and my sister can definitely handle it alone. "

" Peter's my and Yelena's age Nat, don't call him a kid. "

" Well he surely didn't grow up as fast as you two did. He's still very innocent. "

" Right. " You looked at Peter and he made a confused face in return. " Look Nat, this seems rather urgent and I can't just tell him to fuck off. He's coming with me ! "

The redhead protested through the phone but you hung up on her. There were more important matters to discuss.

After having filled Peter's in with all the informations he needed to have, he took you to Time Square. (Another advantage of having a friend who can fly.)

You quickly spotted Yelena, fighting against at least five or six men at once.

Though she was clearly outnumbered, she didn't seem hurt and you immediately felt relieved.

" Let's get to work, shall we ? "

You smiled at Peter before launching yourself into the fight.

The blonde casted you a surprised glance that grew even more annoyed when she spotted Peter by your side.

That didn't stop the two of you from falling back into your usual fighting technic, Yelena punching and you watching her back.

In only a few minutes, all the guys were down and Peter was looking at you with an astonished face.

" Dont act so impressed, this was nothing. " Yelena told him, slightly out of breath. " And I could have handled it alone ! "

" Yeah sure. " You teased her before noticing that her t-shirt's sleeve was coated in blood.
" Wait, you're hurt ! "

" It's nothing. " The blonde shrugged it off. " Just a scratch. "

" Seems deeper than a scratch to me, you'll probably need stitches. "

Yelena opened her mouth to protest but Peter stopped her.

" Just take care of her Y/n. " The boy smiled at you. " I'll see you later okay ? "

He gave you a quick peck on the lips before flying away and you noticed Yelena flinching lightly. You were confused but decided to let it go for now. First, you needed to stitch your friend up. Then, you could have a talk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" There you go. " You smiled at Yelena, releasing her arm. " You got lucky, the cut was definitely not deep enough to leave a scar. "

" Thanks. " She mumbled. " But I already have so many scars I don't think it would have mattered. "

" Why didn't you tell me you needed help ? " You finally asked her " We're a team, we're supposed to take care of missions together ! "

" I know but you seemed so happy to go on this date with Peter. It was a date, yes ? "

" Well I supposed..." You sighted. " Was me having a date with a boy more important than your life though ? "

" Come on дорогая, you know I could have handled this alone. " The blonde smirked before adding more seriously. " And yes it was important. I'm glad you found someone that really cares about you. After everything that happened to you... You deserves it. "

" And what about you ? " You hadn't realized you were so close to her but your lips were only inches apart.
" Don't you deserve to feel loved too ? "

Yelena didn't reply anything, holding your gaze instead. You could smell her perfume, your foreheads almost touching and you realized one thing.

If the blonde decided to lean in and kiss you, you would give up everything for her.

" We can't do this Y/n. " She backed off. " You're with Peter."

" It was just a kiss, nothing is official yet ! "

" Still. " Yelena gently pushed you away. " He's the kind of person you need in your life. You can't let him go like this. "

" So you don't mind huh ? Me and him being together ? " You looked  at her defiantly " You didn't seem so happy when we kissed in front of you, am I right ? "

" I don't mind at all actually. " Yelena shrugged but coudn't hide a slightly hurt face. " You told him you would see him later so just go alright ? I can take care of myself. "

You stared at her in amazement. She wanted you and it was obvious so why woudn't she just ask you to stay ? Why would she accept to see you with someone else ?

" That's all you have to say ? " You gave her one last chance. " Really ? "

" ..."

Yelena hesitated and for a second you thought she was gonna change her mind.

" Go Y/n. Nothing good could happen if we got together. "

" Fine. But don't expect me to ask you that again. "

The blonde remained quiet this time and you excited her appartement, angry at the entire world.

Maybe you should really try giving a chance to Peter.

There will be a part 2 to this.
