Cold | Kate x Yelena

Chapter 18

A/N: ending of Agatha all along brought me back 🗣️🗣️DOWN DOWN DOWN THE ROAD (don't worry I'm back for real this time;)

Kate couldn't take it anymore. It was now or never.

The brunette's tongue darted out again to wet her lips, much slower, on purpose of course this time, and Yelena took the bait. Her eyes darting down to Kate's a a glint in her eye shifting, one with more danger.

They locked eyes once again, the archers heart pounded so much she was sure Yelena could hear it. This was all too much.

"Kate- "Before the blonde could get another word in Kate leaned in closer and smashed her lips against her.  Yelena could her own heartbeat momentarily freezing having thought that Kate wasn't actually going to kiss her, but then she kissed back, it was soft, experimental and very much needed.

The brunette brought her hand up to cup one of the blonde's cheek to stop just the pec from going anywhere further, Kate needed to know she didn't just mess up with Yelena, bad. As she pulled away, Yelena made no movement as she licked her lips her eyes fluttering open to meet the archers.

The look was a mix of surprise before shifting to a need for more.

Fuck.

"Do it again" the blonde murmured breathlessly before she could even think as she brought her hand over to rest on Kate's waist. The archer swallowed hard, silent consent exchanged in each other's eyes before Kate went for it, leaning in again pressing her lips against Yelena's.

The assassin's hand momentarily squeezed while it was rested on Kate's waist causing her to let out an involuntarily hum of want as she moved her lips against Yelena which she returned the same movement, feeling each others lips and going back in more aggressive each time.

The brunette's hand on Yelena's cheek trailed down to her neck to deepen the kiss further, both of their breathing getting heavier each passing second.

Yelena pulled away this time letting out a breath as her chest moved with each breath, Kate opened her eyes already missing the contact. "What are we doing?" Yelena asked her voice barely above a whisper as I looked into the archers eyes, her accent stronger making Kate practically melt at the sound.

The question short circuited the archers previous thoughts, what were they doing? They were far from just friends now, tonight proved it but what happens after? They're in the middle of trying to take down Fisk and find out who keeps coming after them. Should this even happen? Was Yelena going to leave after everything? Did Yelena even feel the same way as deeply as she did? They should talk first shouldn't they? Dali and Max are downstairs.

The overthinking was beginning to get overwhelming as the brunette stared into Yelena's eyes, the blonde's eyes softened having noticed that whatever spark was there a few seconds ago was slowly disappearing. "Hey" she muttered her eyes searching Kate's as she moved her hand from her waist up to her cheek hoping to bring her back from whatever inner monologue was going on.

"I-" the brunette halted her words finally beginning to feel her thoughts slow down, she debated what to say. She could lie, say they should just rest for the night and talk later, or say it was a mistake. But no, the need for more was too strong. Yelena gave a small nod encouraging for Kate to continue.

"Yelena" Kate finally said her voice lower than before, rubbing with her thumb as her hand rested on the assassins neck, "there's one thing I know...and it's that right now I don't want to stop I...." She paused again running her eyes over Yelena's gaze, she truly was gorgeous. Out of her league even and yet she was able to have the privilege to kiss her, in Kate's mind, it was unreal.

Yelena couldn't help but think the same thing as her eyes ran over the archers gaze, although she wasn't fully sure of her feelings yet the blonde knew that she didn't want to stop either, not when this moment could slip away at any moment.

I need her.

"I don't either Kate..." The blonde finally said her voice hardly above a whisper, before the thoughts of doing more than just kissing Kate could fully consume her, she suddenly remembered that Dali and Max were downstairs. Asleep yes but downstairs nonetheless. Yelena sighed and Kate immediately recognized her shift in expression although before she could panic Yelena spoke up again "Dali and Max are still downstairs Kate"

Kate knew what Yelena meant, what they both wanted couldn't happen with both their friends downstairs. Even if they could be silent. "I know, i know" the brunette sighed slightly defeated as she lowered her eyes back down to assassins lips seemingly to debate something before biting her cheek and looking away.

Yelena understood her body language despite the silence giving a weak smile before moving closer letting her legs tangle with Kate's as their bodies pressed against each other, "Goodnight Kate Bishop" Yelena whispered softly deciding to table all thoughts.

"Goodnight 'Lena" Kate whispered back unable to fight her small grin as she nuzzled closer to Yelena wrapping an arm around her waist.

Kate was the first to wake up, groggily blinking her eyes open into a chest. Which she realized was Yelena's after a few moments and definitely wasn't complaining, she felt last nights memories rush back to her, the club, drinking. Kissing.

That's when it fully hit her what happened last night. Holy shit I kissed Yelena.
