Starlight (Yelena Belova and Kate Bishop one shots)

Cold as ice (2)

Trigger warning : Blood and Injury

Everything was doing great so far. Or at least that's what you were trying to tell yourself.

You were extremely worried about Kate, afraid the Lions' captain would try to hurt her.

Anna Brown was known to injure people who hadn't done anything to her. What would she do to someone who had humiliated her ?

The crowd was cheering again around you but you couldn't bring yourself to join.

Because the more points Kate scored, the more you could see Anna becoming agressive and dangerous.

All you wanted to do was screaming at whoever was in charge here to stop the match before your best friend got hurt. But you knew Kate would never forgive you for this so you just remained silent, praying nothing would happen to her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The match was finally almost over. There were two minutes left, the Hawks were winning by 5 points and you didn't think anything bad could happen anymore.

Three seconds were sadly enough to prove you wrong.

One second, Kate was perfectly okay, racing towards the goals to score yet another point. The next, Anna's hockey stick was in her way, unavoidable.

Everything happened in slow motion. You watched your bestfriend trip on the stick before landing on the ice. Hard.

Her right legs snapped, twisted in an abnormal angle and she let out a blood curling scream.

You couldn't stand the sight of blood or broken bones and if this had been anyone else, you would have probably fled the scene.

But this was Kate, the girl you loved. And you were not going to let her down when she needed you the most.

As the players evacuated the ice to let the paramedics do their job, you rushed to your bestfriend's side.

She looked even paler now that you could actually see her face, so pale you were afraid she might pass out.

" Hey Kit-Kat. " You forced yourself to take a comforting voice. " I know this must be incredibly painful but it'll get better soon. "

" It hurts..." Kate managed to blurt out, tears rolling on her cheeks.
" It hurts so much ! "

" I know baby, I know. " Neither of you reacted to the new nickname. " You'll be okay, I'm here for you. "

The brunette didn't answer anything but your words seemed to make her feel slightly better.

" Keep talking to her. " A paramedic told you as the other were putting Kate on a stretcher. " Your presence helps her stay awake and she cannot lose consciousness with the amount of blood she already lost. "

You nodded and squeezed your bestfriend's hand lightly, whispering sweet words to her.

You wanted nothing more than to confess your love to Kate at this moment but you couldn't do it with so many people around.

You just hoped she would be okay so that you could actually tell her in person.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Hey, how is she ? " Yelena sat next to you in front of Kate's bed. " Everyone's worried about her. "

" She's fine. " You let out a relieved sight. " She won't be able to play for a while but the doctors said she would recover entirely. "

The blonde nodded, looking at her captain with concerned eyes.

" That bitch got what she deserved you know. " Yelena stated, both to your bestfriend who couldn't hear her and to you. " The cameras showed her making Kate tripped. She got kicked out of her team and will most likely never be allowed to play again. "

" Well that's great. " You rubbed your tired eyes and yawned.
" Anna is dangerous and I wish they could have realized this sooner. "

" You know..." The blonde patted your shoulder in an attempt to comfort you. " Kate told me about what happened with her during the break. "

" She did ? "

" Yes. And I wanted to make sure you weren't blaming yourself. "

At her words, your lower lip started to waver and a tear rolled on your cheek.

Because of course you were blaming yourself.

If you had kept your mouth shut then the Lions' captain wouldn't  have wanted to hurt Kate.

Everything was your fault.

" Y/n ? " A sleepy voice interrupted your conversation.
" You're crying, are you okay ? "

You rushed to your best friend's bed and were met with Kate's concerned eyes.

" Seriously, are you okay ? "

" You're the one that got hurt dummy ! " You chuckled nervously, relieved to see her awake. " I should be the one asking you this ! "

" You're here. " The brunette shrugged. " So of course I'm fine. Maybe a bit shaken up but that's all. "

" I'm..."

" Y/n do NOT apologize. None of this was your fault. "

You started crying again despite yourself and Kate opened her arms.

" Come here."

" I'm not supposed to touch y..."

" Well fuck that. " The brunette pulled you into a hug as you tried not touching her leg. " I think we both need it ! "

You let Kate hold you, not having the strength to push her away after this awful day.

Behind you, Yelena left the room to give you some space and your best friend planted a kiss on your forehead.

" I'm just mad I couldn't finish that match. " The brunette pouted with an adorable grumpy face. " The victory was ours and now we will never get it. "

" There will be other matches to play captain. " You smiled at her.
" And you may not have won this one but you still earned something very important today. "

" What are you talking ab..."

" I'm talking about this. "

And just like that, you pressed your lips against hers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Okay, that was like a hundred percents better. " Kate admitted after several minutes of intense make out. " I should get hurt more often. "

" You idiot ! " You nudged her side playfully. " You can have a kiss whenever you want, no need to be wounded for that. "

The brunette giggled and looked at you, her eyes filled with love and tenderness.

" I really, really care about you Y/n. " She whispered. " I mean this."

" I know Kit-Kat. " Like always, the nickname made her blush. " I really care about you to. "

Kate opened her mouth to add something but ended up shutting it to avoid ruining the moment.

After all this time, she finally, finally had you and she wasn't messing up the best thing that would probably ever happen to her.

Yeah, I know it's been a while. I'm sorry but I had no inspiration to write this and I also had a lot of work. Anyway, hope you enjoy and I promise I'll try to be more active.
