"Aw, baby," Kate grins at her, pretty amused by that bluster, although she manages to hold back any actual chuckles. Yelena's still going to be able to read it all over her face, but she doesn't think she needs to tempt fate by being too obvious about it - although it's not like she thinks Yelena would be anything other than play-irritated. "I promise I fully intend to try and keep it that you're the only one who's ever thrown me off a roof."
"If it were real, yeah, I think I'd pay them something."
“Whaaaat?” She groans and makes a dramatically pouty face at her. She can feel the amusement in the air between them, and wound have to give Kate a bit of credit that she kept herself together quite well. “Maybe not again, though. Not fun.”
The frown on her face says it all, but she lets her mouth do a little more, “You would pay them to be thrown off a roof? Kate, that is insane,” she snorts a laugh.
Okay, the groan breaks her, a little chuckle escapes. The dramatic pout didn't help either, both contributing to the chuckle and making it impossible for Kate not to lean in and steal a kiss. "You're just super adorable, that's all."
It is insane, Yelena's right. This is probably in the running for one of the most bonkers things Kate has ever said, and yet she's gonna stick with it. "I mean, it'd be rude to ask them to do it for nothing, wouldn't it?"
She smiles at that compliment, a small, genuine thing with the tiniest edge of humility to it. She cherishes those things Kate says when she’s looking at her like that. “If you say so,” she says, shaking her head.
“Would it? I mean, if for some reason someone feels so strongly about throwing you from a roof, it sounds like they are already ahead on getting something out of this. Paying them only makes it worse.” Not that any of this even matters, since it’s just something Kate said off the top of her head and decided to stick with.
"I do," Kate nods, very serious, "Since I have working eyes and all, it'd be a lie if I said anything else."
"Maybe they don't feel that strongly about the throwing someone off a roof part of the ad though, maybe they just need any job they can get. What if that's the only way they can buy dinner for their kids that day, if they take the throw-a-rich-girl-off-a-roof gig?"
She scoffs and rolls her eyes. Yelena has no misgivings about how she looks, but it’s just different having it angled this way, directed at her so genuinely rather than using it for her own advantage.
She laughs and shakes her head. “Okay, this is too much,” she waved one hand, dismissive, “new topic.”
"Okay," Kate is absolutely furthering the useless and/or easy stereotypes right now, but she really doesn't want to do anything other than lean into it. Who could ever not eagerly want to keep making Yelena laugh as long as they possibly could? It feels like winning something, each time.
“I don’t knooow,” she draws the word out, amused, but as she curls her lips into a smile, a different thought enters her mind and something devilish flashes in her eyes, “Maybe we can do something else with our mouths instead?”
It’s with that question that she pulls Kate closer, the kiss she tugs her into is full of tongues and teeth and the kind of need found in bedrooms of teenagers— but, hell, she skipped that part of growing up, and maybe she deserves a taste of that, too.
From anybody else, that would be the type of line that would just make Kate burst into laughter. It's ridiculous how effectively it'd work from Yelena - knowing that Yelena isn't trying to use a line, she's just talking, only makes it better. Probably for the best Kate doesn't have the time to reply before Yelena is kissing her. She would have only said something else stupid that Yelena would basically be obligated to tease her about again.
Better her mouth is kept busy - just about best case scenario that her mouth is kept busy like this. She doesn't even have any embarassment left about the sound she makes against Yelena's mouth, overwhelmed for the first few seconds of this kiss. The want from before their conversational break kicks back in quickly, though, and that kicks her into gear to match Yelena's energy, give as good as she's getting. She settles her hands on Yelena's thighs, running her thumbs back and forth lightly, and sits up a little straighter to try and deepen the kiss even more, to better chase the taste of Yelena.
