#kaudrey asks

kate bishop + audrey barton in bullseye!

Audrey sat in front of the TV, mindlessly flicking through the channels as she sipped on her third cup of coffee that morning. Not that she needed it to stay awake — god knows that’s all she ever does — coffee was just something she picked up from her dad years ago, and now it’s too late to drop it.

Her head turned when she heard footsteps headed to her direction; watching Kate groggily rub the drowsiness off her eyes with her lips on a pout, and her lips involuntarily curled into a small smile. “Coffee?”

Kate turned to Audrey, then nodded as she dropped her hands to her side while the latter stood up from the couch and poured her a cup.

“How long have you been awake?” she asked, brows furrowed. “It’s like, so early and you went to bed really late last night.”

Audrey scoffed fondly as she handed the cup over. “What? Were you monitoring me?”

Kate immediately made faces at an attempt to deny the claim, “Of course not! What do you think of me?” she feigned offense, then proceeded to shake her head, “I’m not...I didn’t—” she stopped herself, and Audrey simply stared at her with a knowing look. “I was just...listening to you a little bit,” she claimed as she raised the cup to her lips, loudly sipping on her coffee without breaking their eye contact, “Like a tiny bit.”

Audrey chuckled before she walked away, which made Kate smile despite being slightly confused at the moment; watching her sit comfortably with her sweatshirt, sweatpants and mismatched socks. After the argument they had last night — one that she started — she figured Audrey wouldn’t talk to her again. Like, ever. The thought terrified her, if she was being honest; and so glad that it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Kate wearily sat beside her, eyes flickering from the blonde to the television that she couldn’t really care less what was on. She tapped her nails against the cup, trying to think of the right words to say but her mouth had already began to move.

“Hey, I, um—” she cleared her throat, suddenly freezing up like a statue with the way that Audrey stared at her. “I just...uh, wanna say that...”

Kate sucked in a deep breath as she cocked her brow and tilted her head to the side in anticipation, realizing that she was actually paying attention to her gibberish. “I just...I wanna say, that...for what it’s worth, I really am sorry.”

Audrey pouted in thought, then shrugged her shoulders. “For what?”

“For...” she trailed off, looking down in shame but as she looked back up, Audrey held the playful grin that annoyed Kate to no end. “Oh, you know!” she exclaimed, making the blonde laugh, because she did; they screamed themselves off about it last night. “For causing all these problems and making you and your family go through all of this,” Kate continued; sincerity visible in her voice as well as in her eyes, which she now focused on the cup of coffee she held over her lap.

Audrey smiled as she reached for her chin, held it up and stared into her eyes. “Kinda glad you did, actually,” she told her, putting her hand over Kate’s then caressed it with her thumb, “Wouldn’t have met you again otherwise.”

Kate couldn’t help but blush and smile widely as she nodded in agreement, their eyes never looking away from each other while their grip on one another’s hands tightened. “I’m...sorry too, by the way,” Audrey whispered as she chewed on the inside of her cheek and played with Kate’s fingers. “I didn’t mean what I said last night.”

Kate crunched her nose, “Yeah, you did,” she said playfully, causing them both to laugh.

“Not all of it, babe,” she replied with a wide smile, lifting their hands to her face to place a long, soft kiss on the back of Kate’s hand. “Not all of it.”

tagging @come-along-pond & @luucypevensie!! sorry this is super late i literally forgot to post it lmao 😭😭

1. Who is the most affectionate?

surprisingly, audrey!! despite her discomfort with touch, she gets used to having kate around and the two of them just casually brushing against each other that it stops bothering her anymore! (unexpected touches still make her jumpy, though, especially if it’s from others)

2. Big spoon/Little spoon?

audrey/kate

“you never tell me anything.”

4. Favorite non-sexual activity?

snuggling!!!!!!

5. Who is most likely to carry the other?

audrey lol

6. What is their favorite feature of their partner’s?

i’m gonna do both physical and mental, as per my bestie poppy <3 kate’s favorite of audrey is her nose and her eyes (because she can read her through them!) and how she listens to her ramble no matter how incoherent and nonsensical the things she says are!! audrey’s favorite of kate is her neck (cause when she goes to kiss her it’s what she can reach first bc she’s small af lmao) and how she’s able to say so many things at once!!

7. What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other?

i don’t think there’s anything tbh! they’re the same as the first time they met (again)

8. Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate?

AH the only nickname audrey has for kate is katie, but even then she rarely calls her that. katherine elizabeth bishop is there when she does something stupid lmao. and kate calls her a lot of nicknames, i know this in my heart, but rn all i can think of at the top of my head is drey akshsks

audrey!!

10. Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant?

both of them <3

12. Who initiates kisses?

audrey!!!!

it depends on the situation, but it’s usually kate! though she waits for audrey to see it and be the one to touch first because she doesn’t wanna make her uncomfortable!!

audrey!!

17. Who says I love you first?

kate <3

18. Who leaves little notes in the other’s one lunch? (Bonus: what does it usually say?)

oof they don’t but if they did it’d be kate; although i imagine audrey leaving little notes for her like when kate decides to do something she definitely should not do and audrey lets her know that she knows through them 😭 it’s like a continuous type of notes where when she opens her gear, there’s a “don’t” and when she steps to the door there’s a “don’t do it” LMAO (and then audrey would probably be waiting for her outside AKSJSKJS)

19. Who tells their family/friends about their relationship first?

well uh they didn’t really have to tell anyone because it just kind of happened and they were a little busy trying to not get killed but clint was the first to know!

20. What do their family/friends think of their relationship?

clint expected it so he’s lowkey obnoxious about it, so is abby, harvey is so happy for them but so disappointed she didn’t see it in action, her youngest cousin i’ve yet to name is so annoyed because her attention is split between him and kate lmao 😭 meanwhile eleanor does not support them, she doesn’t like audrey and what she (and clint) has brought into her daughter’s life. though jack is like, super supportive???? the only thing left for him to say is “go lesbians”

everyone else is just happy for them and doesn’t really have a significant reaction!! but honorable mention: yelena is thrilled and always comments about how similar they are although they do not see it (she be stating facts though <3)

28. What do they do when they’re away from each other?

kate just chills at home and texts her a lot while audrey either tries to sleep or is out investigating something and punching some thugs lol

29. One headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart

ummm there’s still so much that audrey hasn’t told kate and so there’s definitely some secrets between them that’ll most likely affect them in more ways than one

30. One headcanon about this OTP that mends it

kate is not one to give up so easily though, so you can bet that she’s not just gonna up and leave her girlfriend because of that; which just makes audrey fall for her more!! so she makes sure that she’ll still take the effort to open up to her now and again!!!
