It’s been a while since Yelena has spoken to her, weeks, definitely. Months, maybe? She’s not even sure. It wasn’t on purpose, time just got away from her. But Yelena hasn’t been able to stop thinking about her since Kate crossed her mind, so she scrolls through her contacts and sends her a simple text message: ]
Hello, Kate Bishop.
no subject
And the insanity of sometimes walking into her apartment, looking at the shadows in the corner and... wanting. Waiting.
Stupid, of course. Silly, even. Just one of those things.
Yelena receives a response almost instantly. ]
How's Fanny?
[ Play it cool. Cool cool cool. No screeching, externally or internally. ]
no subject
Good. The best.
Lucky causing trouble lately?
no subject
ALWAYS! He's such a good, spoiled boy. He's learning to fetch trick arrows!!!
Not the explosive ones, of course.
[ A few more pictures. Same angle, same socks, same dog. Kate's snapping them as Lucky wags his tail and squirms around, and just sends them. ]
no subject
Tell him I love him and he is the best boy.
[She smiles and saves a few of the pictures she sends.]
I think I might be in the city for a little bit.
Maybe we can catch up.
If you are not too busy, of course.
I miss y[She almost admits to missing her, but stops and deletes it instead.
She’s not sure why it’s so difficult to say the simple things.]
no subject
I'd love thI'd like that!
[ If her heart's in her throat, nobody has to know. Kate's not above admitting to harbouring a crush the size of the newly reconstructed statue of liberty here. ]
You can hit me up anytime.
Which I mean, literally, we both know my locks are no deterrent for you.
But also I mean. You can hit me up anytime, you know?
[ Way to go, Kate, real smooth, W O W. ]
no subject
No superheroing lately?
Or do I just get special treatment because I am that amazing?
[It's so easy to be flirty, to be a little facetious, but beyond that? God, it terrifies her. The secret is figuring out how to say what she really means in jokey ways.]
Oh, do not worry, I will keep this in mind.
Anytime is a very open invitation.
no subject
I mean, if you wanna hear about it
I didn't know if you wanted to hear about it, and I guess you've been super busy with your own super secret stuff
BUT
I will always make time for my personal favorite out of everyone who has ever broken into my place :)
You make it sound like a threat, but joke's on you, I'd be delighted if you just came around, so
You gotta get me a souvenir though!! Bet you're in a super cool place right now doing super cool shit.
no subject
Mmm, you are correct. I have been quite busy with super secret things.
And I would rather hear all your silly little voices and see all your silly little hand spasms when you tell me.
Better in person than texts.
Your personal favourite, hm?
I do rather like the sound of that, if I do say so myself.
Then I will make it my next mission to delight you many times.
Currently, I am not in any super cool place doing super cool anything.
I am doing the very boring thing of stocking new food in my fridge because everything in my flat has gone horrible while I was away.
But I already have souvenirs for you.
You will get them when we meet.
Are you heroing tonight?
no subject
and of course. I conducted a very thorough ranking of everyone who has ever broken in, and there could only ever be one person coming out on top. we can get you a burger king crown or something to mark your status :D
booo, no super cool place and spoiled food.
[ A few pictures of the massive pizza currently sitting half devoured on Kate's couch table. ]
I've got a little patrol going on tonight
Isn't that cool? All official. Still not an Avenger officially though :(
no subject
You have had your flat broken into many, many times, have you, Kate Bishop?
Very popular, you are to have been able to conduct such thorough research.
I do deserve a crown, it's true.
Yes, that is my thought as well.
You are so cute.
Maybe sooner than you think, this will happen.
no subject
[ No okay but seriously, though, she does need better locks, oh my god. ]
I'll get you a crown, don't worry. You'd look taller, too :)
oh I'm CUTE, huh?
[ She is NOT blushing and twirling her hair SHUT UP OH MY GOD. ]
Are you gonna crash my patrol? You're totally gonna crash my patrol aren't you. Or I come home to find my fork being used again.
no subject
I will be able to get into your flat no matter what licks you have.
But we will make sure other people will struggle with it.
Better yet find me a tiara.
I deserve to sparkle, too.
Are you calling me short, Kate Bishop?
Oh, yes, very. Astoundingly.
Adorable like little sugar glider.
I am undecided yet.
You will see me soon… I am sure of that much, at least.
no subject
Which, to be fair - par for the course with you, so no complaints. Well, mild complaint just because I feel like I should put up some token protest.
You'd be the most powerful person in a tiara. It's happening! I got you covered.
Maybe I'm calling myself tall? Would you buy that?
SUGAR GLIDER?
Hell yeah I'll take it, those things are amazing. Though I don't fly. Or glide.
I repeat: Endearing and vaguely terrifying.
no subject
The most powerful? Hmm... I do like the sound of this, yes.
No. You are terrible liar, even in text message, Kate Bishop.
Oh, I think you could ask Captain Bird-Man for tips on that sort of thing.
He seems like the mentoring type, do you agree?
You're very flattering today.
I like it.
Keep it up.
[No. She doesn't just like getting compliments... She likes getting compliments from Kate.
There is an inherent difference between these two things.
Most notably... Kate Bishop.]
no subject
Well, I'd also call you short, because I love to live dangerously apparently. It's cute though. And it#s not like that makes you less terrifying, promise. We can walk somewhere and you can be my scary dog privilege, how's that?
Also hey, so. I'm just gonna ask you a stupid question. Because we haven't chatted in a while, and I wasn't sure if we had a moment back then, y'know, and then I wasn't sure if my job and your job mean you might not wanna talk.
But, we're flirting, right? This is flirting?
I'm so down to keep doing it, I just wanna check in.
If it's not the vibe, my bad, no hard feelings, I'll dial it back.
But if it's the vibe, I mean.
We should so something about this.
And if I stole your thunder while you were on the way to ask me out, my bad, I'll act very surprised and flustered anyway, promise.
[ Kate, for all that she gets flustered and awkward - infinitely better at this than Bucky and Sam, actually. ]
no subject
Keep it up, see where it gets you.
You like science, yes?
Experiment.
Scary dog privilege, hm?
Interesting.
Explain this to me a little more.
Please?
[She can be polite! Sometimes.
Yelena frowns a little at that set of texts. She knows sometimes Kate just gets in her head and gets silly ideas stuck in there. But she's also very good at clarifying things when needed, or asking for it if she needs it herself.
That doesn't always mean Yelena is as good at answering clearly.
But this time, it feels easy.
And that's kind of nice, isn't it?]
Yes, I am flirting with you, Kate Bishop.
What do you propose we do about it, then? I am intrigued.
no subject
but who is sweet to me and who I can pet and adore and love on
GLAD to hear about the flirting. I'm also flirting, for the record. Full on crush situation over here, not even joking.
I'd love to keep flirting. We could also go on a date, see how that goes for us. I can ask you out if you'd like.
Or you can ask me out, too.
I'm easy.
Wait, not like that.
Maybe a little like that.
For you, probably very much like that.
A N Y W A Y
no subject
I accept this new descriptor.
I want to hear more about you petting me.
I knew you liked me before you knew you liked me, Kate.
But thank you for confirming anyway, I appreciate it.
You are so cute.
Yes, I think I would very much like you to take me out on a date.
[Could Yelena plan a date and do just fine with it? Probably. But these social things still make her squirm a little, make her worried about misstepping somehow. She'd rather see what Kate does, follow her lead on this, and then figure out how to make it her own as time goes on.]
I could ask you to do anything and I think you would do it.
It's something about the accent, isn't it?
Just kind of makes you want to... obey me.
1/2
Oh yeah? How'd you know then, huh?
I'm so cute, you can't stand it. Bet you wanna bite me :)
And maaaaaaaybe. I wouldn't mind doing as told if I get a 'good girl' out of it.
Not in general, just from you specifically.
I don't like to do as told.
But I think I'd love to do as you tell me.
Yeah? Yeah.
but alright alright alright, let me do this right, okay? You deserve it! And I have to pretend that I'm cool and smooth for like..... 5 seconds.
no subject
Especially your fingers in my hair. Just don’t pull too hard.
Oh, I already knew that. But I do still appreciate the confirmation.
[It will slip out at an inopportune moment eventually, at the rate they’ve gone so far, but the idea of calling Kate a good girl has never been more appealing than it is right now.]
If you insist.
2/2
I'd really like to take you out on a date. Dinner and a movie and maybe even a kiss, if you'd like one. Dressed up nice and all official.
What do you say? Will you go out with me?
no subject
This was more than she expected. And she really didn’t have much in way of expectations to start with.
But this is cute.
It’s very sweet.
It’s all making her a little emotional, if she’s completely honest.]
Yes, Kate Bishop, I will go to dinner with you.
Play your cards right and you might get a kiss at the end of the night.
[It’s a trick; there’s no way she won’t get a kiss, but Yelena has to play with her a little, or it just isn’t them.]
no subject
Oh, challenge so accepted. I will win you over until you wanna kiss me S O bad :)
no subject
[Chances are incredibly high that she'll get a kiss anyway. But Yelena is very interested in seeing the kind of moves Kate might pull out to make sure it happens.]
