Starlight (Yelena Belova and Kate Bishop one shots)

Boyfriend (3)

The third part :-).

" Y/n, you're not calling her." Yelena stole your phone, earning a disappointed groan from you.
" Kate is the one who has to apologize for what she did. "

" But...it has already been two days ! " You protested weakly. " Can't I even send her a cute emoji ? "

" No you can't Y/n. " Yelena sighted before patting your shoulder. " I get it you know ? Being away from her is hard but it's the only way to stop being addicted to her. "

" I'm not addicted to her ! "

" Sure, whatever you say. "

You groaned again, trying to get your phone back.

Yelena's presence made it a bit easier but still. You had never thought being away from Kate for so long would be painful like this.

And it had only been 2 days. Maybe you really were addicted to her after all.

" What can I do to make you feel better красивый ? "

You turned around to look at the blonde, meeting her concerned hazel eyes.

You weren't used to have someone caring about you like this. Let alone a girl you had met two days ago.

But the feeling was nice and you were definitely not complaining.

" Would you mind staying tonight ? " You asked her. " I don't want to be alone and the couch is really comfortable..."

Yelena just stared at you which made you blush (in embarrassment, you only blushed because you were embarrassed).

" Do you think I'm stupid for asking ? "

" What ? " She finally snapped out of her thought. " No, of course not. Actually, I don't wanna be alone tonight either."

You sighted in relief. Being used to the "sorry but I have a date with Josh" Kate always gave you, this really felt nice.

You turned on the tv and chose a random movie neither you nor Yelena intended to focus on.

Because watching tv with the blonde had quickly turned into a staring contest that made focusing impossible.

When Kate was there, she usually watched the show you had picked while you admired her.

But when you glanced at Yelena, she always looked back at you.

And you couldn't lie, being met with eyes equally full of...something you couldn't quite identify yet was much better.

You and the blonde had immediately clicked.

While you were still strongly drawn to Kate,Yelena made you feel really peaceful.

You didn't have to worry about never being good enough for her or about making her uncomfortable.

She appreciated you just the way you were and you could tell that whatever spark there had between the two of you, she felt it too.

You were not stuck crushing on a straight girl who would never love you the way you wanted her to.

" This was good, wasn't it ? " Yelena smiled, turning the tv off at the end of the movie. " No idea what it was about but...it did seem good. "

" Yeah, I mean sure. " You laughed. " Anyway, I'll take the couch tonight if you don't mind. You're my guest and my bed is way more comfortable. "

Yelena opened her mouth to protest but you stopped her.

" I promise it's fine, El. " She blushed at the nick name which made you blush in return. " The couch is okay too. I'll be alright. "

Seeing that there was no point arguing with you, the blonde grabbed a pillow before making her way to your room.

You watched her leave and laid down on the couch where you remained unable to fall asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was about 2 or 3 am when you decided that you had had enough.

Getting up, you walked to the kitchen and made some hot chocolate.

It always helped you calm down, especially when a certain someone with brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes wouldn't leave your mind.

" Can't sleep either ? " Yelena's voice startled you. " It sucks being away from her huh ? "

" You seem to talk from experience ? " You gave her a questioning look. " Would you happen to be in love with someone too ? "

" Not anymore. " She smiled sadly. " But yes, there is a girl behind all of this. "

" Really ? Tell me about her ! " You glanced at the blonde with puppy eyes and she chuckled.
" Please, I need to be distracted from Kate. "

" Okay, okay. You told me about her so I guess it's only fair. "

And so, Yelena told you everything.

She told you about a beautiful girl with ocean eyes and cute freckles.

A girl whose smile was so bright and genuine it could comfort you no matter what.

A girl who, despite being sweet and strong and caring had turned her back on Yelena when she had confessed her love to her.

A girl who had shattered the blonde's heart in a million of peaces by telling everyone about her sexuality.

By the end of the story, Yelena was sobbing and so were you.

You were so sick and tired of this world where being gay was still considered as a monstrous thing.

So sick and tired of seeing beautiful girls like Yelena being destroyed and shamed simply for having feelings.

If you were in love with your best friend as a lesbian then you were a dangerous predator.

If you harassed a girl and refused to take no as an answer as a boy, then you were just a random human being. How was that fair ?

You made your way to Yelena and wrapped your arms around her.

It wasn't anything romantic, just your own way of saying "I'm there for you and I understand you."

At some point, she broke the hug and just stared at you without saying anything.

" Being straight would be easier, wouldn't it ? " You sighted, tears still running on your face.

" It would but then, we wouldn't be who we are today. What we feel, what we have in this " She carefully put her hand on your heart. " It is part of who we are. What we went through is part of who we are. And I don't want to imagine myself not loving women. "

" Neither do I. " You had never realized it before but it was true. " We will be alright, won't we ? "

" Of course we will. " Yelena hugged you again, this time tighter. " So long as we have each other. "

So this was the 3rd part. I'll update the last one as soon as possible.
