Word Count: 574
------------------------------------------------
Kate had lost a bet to Yelena recently. A couple of weeks ago, the blonde and brunette were betting on who would win, Bills or Broncos. Yelena chose the Broncos, while Kate chose the Bills.
“Kate Bishop, that was not a wise decision,” Yelena said.
“What, I think the quarterback is cute!” Kate exclaimed.
“Cuteness isn’t how you win the football game,” Yelena countered.
Much to the blonde’s delight, she had won the bet and now Kate had to pull off all the pranks Yelena had planned for Natasha. The blonde loved the fact that she would get to indirectly annoy her sister, while avoiding the blame and punishment.
“Hey Natasha, I got you a nice cold drink,” Kate offered, as the redhead had just got done with a workout.
“Oh, wow, thank you so much. That’s so thoughtful,” Natasha said, accepting the drink. Normally if this were Yelena, the older sister would’ve been skeptical, but since it was Kate, she assumed it was just a nice gesture.
Natasha took a sip, immediately making a face and gagging. Turns out, it wasn’t the typical lemonade she was expecting. It was pure lemon juice only.
The redhead immediately put the cup down, chasing after Kate.
“Get back here!” She shouted.
“Don’t chase me!” Kate squealed.
Kate didn’t know where she was heading, so she naturally went to her room and closed the door. Natasha was right on her heels, opening the door back up and tackling her to the bed.
“No, please! Let me explain!” Kate cried, bursting out into laughter as Natasha began to dig into her ribs.
“NOHOHO AHAHAHA PLEHEHEASE!”
“Please what?”
“PLEHEHEASE STAHAHAP TIHIHCKLING MEHEHE!”
“But I need to punish you, troublemaker.” With that, Natasha’s hands began to claw at her stomach.
Kate cackled with laughter, kicking and screaming at the top of her lungs.
“Oooh, I think I like this spot,” Natasha commented.
“IHIHI HAHATE YOHOHOU!”
“You what?” Natasha asked, turning around to tickle her feet.
“NO NO NOHOHO WAHAHAIT IHIHIM SOHORRY!”
“Someone’s gotta teach you some manners, huh?” Natasha said, driving the younger girl mad with her nails.
Kate was desperate, so she sat up and dug her hands into Natasha’s armpits. The redhead jumped, quickly jolting to protect her weak spot. However, Natasha made sure that Kate knew she made a grave mistake.
The redhead pinned Kate’s arms above her head, leaning down to blow five consecutive raspberries on her belly. Kate was silent with laughter, shaking her head and breathlessly trying to beg for mercy.
“Have you learned your lesson?” Natasha asked, now using her free hand to tickle her armpits.
“YEHEHES OH GOHOD PLEHEHEASE!”
With that, Natasha relented, letting the younger girl catch her breath.
“What’s gotten into you? You’re turning into a mini Yelena,” Natasha teased, poking her ribs.
Kate jumped before explaining. “I lost a bet to Yelena over a football game so my punishment was to pull off this prank on you so she wouldn’t get in trouble.”
“Hmm, that actually makes a lot of sense now. How about we pay her a visit and punish her together?” Natasha suggested.
Kate had a mischievous look in her eye, ready to get revenge. She knew she would be safe since she now had Natasha on her side.
With that, the two of them took off and looked for the blonde. Around ten minutes later, the house was filled with laughter, begging, and swearing from Yelena.
We have decided to wrap up our series! We hope you’ve enjoyed it, we loved writing it ❤️
“I can’t believe we have to leave now...” Yelena commented as she sat down on the couch, full from the buffet they had. “It has gone so quickly.”
Wanda nodded as she sat on the other couch, sighing sadly. She had enjoyed her time with the three other women, and she felt that everyone was going to go their separate ways after this was all over, and this upset her a lot.
Kate flopped next to Yelena, "Almost as fast as you just ate that food," she chuckled but felt bittersweet about it too. The blonde rolled her eyes and shoved at her.
“Oh shush, the food was great, was it not?” Yelena asked, pouting and folding her arms. The brunette poked her side, "Of course it was," she giggled cheekily and then kept poking Yelena.
Yelena flinched, biting her lip as she wiggled away from her. “Y-yes so quit it….”
Nat noticed Wanda's demeanour and sat next to her, "Hey, what's got you down sweet girl?" She asked as she put her arm around the younger woman.
“I don’t want to go” she whispered, biting her lip.
The redhead hugged the witch, "I know sweet girl, I'm not ready for it to be over either, but now we all know each other right?"
Wanda shrugged. “Yeah, but what if everyone just wants to go their separate ways? Then everyone will ignore my existence again.”
Nat hugged her even tighter, and Kate noticed Wanda getting emotional so she turned and hugged her too, tapping Yelena to do the same.
The Widow had an idea, and fluttered gently into Wanda's belly, "What if we make a promise hm? A swear that we all have to be here for each other and if anyone remotely forgets, needs cheering up or gets distant, we all wreck them?" She smiled fondly, "And you my dear Wanda need cheered up."
Wanda shrugged, covering her belly a little as she tried hard not to giggle. “M-maybe…” she murmured as she curled up a little.
Kate grinned, "C'mon Yelena! Let's get her!" And then helped Nat by shaking lightly into Wanda's ribs, making the witch squeal and curl up, shaking her head as she eventually broke into giggles.
The blonde rolled her eyes but understood why Wanda was so sad, she hadn’t felt this peaceful for a while, and she didn’t want to go back to her crazy life.
Nat smirked and poked Yelena's sides, "Lena," she winked, "Do you need tickled too?" She asked the blonde, who shook her head. “Nono…”
"Are you suuuure?" Nat smirked and shook her ribs gently.
Kate fluttered up and down Wanda's belly, "Gitchiegitchiegitchie goooooo little witchy woooooo!" She teased, making Wanda giggle helplessly and curl up. “Nohoooo!”
"Awww there we goo Wands! We've got you see! No matter what you'll always have us, love and…" she grinned and pulled up her top to raspberry her sides, "Raspberries!!"
The witch yelped and squealed out, shoving her shirt down before Kate had the chance to do anything. “Nuh uh, none of those!” She protested as Yelena gasped and bit her lip. “I am positive.”
Kate chuckled, "If they don't tickle then why are you afraid, big bad witchy?" She asked, looking over at Nat, who grinned at her sister.
"Nah, you need the tickle monster!" The Black Widow announced spidered up into her armpits, causing the blonde to yelp and slam her arms down. “Nonono I do not need that silly thing.”
"No?' The redhead grinned and squeezed Yelena's sides just above her hips, causing her to yelp and hold her sister's hands away. “Found the spot?” The redhead asked fondly.
Yelena shook her head. “Nope, never, just looking at the time, we should get going?” She tried.
“Not till I find your smile,” she insisted. Yelena just groaned. “We have to go…”
“Then get up,” she giggled fondly at Yelena, who nodded and stood up. “There we go, we can leave now.”
“You still need to have your smile found," Nat smirked fondly.
Wanda tried to keep her cool. “Me? Afraid? I’m not afraid of anything.”
"Oh? Then why won't you let me raspberry you Wands?" Kate asked cheekily as the witch shrugged and folded her arms over her belly. “I am sure it’s too much effort for you”
“I'm like, an overgrown kid, it's no effort,” Kate smirked and bounced her fingers along the witch’s sides, smiling as Wanda whined and let out a few giggles. “Quiiiit!”
“I win!” Kate giggled fondly, making Wanda roll her eyes. “Yeah yeah, whatever.”
The raven-haired archer hugged the redhead fondly. “Ok, let’s go,” Wanda told her after hugging Kate back.
“But Yelena still needs to smile,” Kate said, pouting. Yelena just shrugged. "I am fine, it is time to go."
Kate hugged Yelena and nodded, “If you're sure.”
Nat rubbed Wanda's back, still with one hand on her sister, “Are we all packed and ready?” Yelena nodded silently as Wanda used her magic to float everyone’s bags back to the RV, taking one last look at their hotel suite sadly.
Kate frowned and then clung to everyone, “Hey, the trip is over but our relationships aren't!”
Yelena rolled her eyes. “That is the most cheesy thing I have ever heard you say, Kate Bishop.”
Kate grinned up at her, “Good!”
Nat laughed fondly, “Little Kate is right,”
Wanda bit back a chuckle. “So shall we all link arms and skip off into the sunset?”
Kate beamed at that, “YES!” But Yelena just face-palmed herself.
“She was being sarcastic.” She murmured and got into the RV.
Kate furrowed her brow for a moment, but then shrugged, “Well either way,” she smiled and followed Yelena, while Nat just chuckled, “Play nice you two!”
Yelena playfully shoved at Nat, squeezing Kate’s sides to put a smile on her face before getting comfortable on the top bunk bed that was in the RV, with Kate on the bottom and Wanda and Natasha curled up on a couch each.
The auto drive soon kicked in to take them all home, it didn’t take long for the drive to rock them to sleep, completely exhausted from their time away but feeling thankful that it happened. They built memories for a lifetime and a sisterhood they can always lean on.
A shy Kate hesitantly asks Yelena for a certain, playful thing which brings the pair closer together.
Thank you to @sprite-periodt for the prompt! 💕
Kate bit her lip as she watched Yelena finish off her mac and cheese, she had only just noticed that she had been quite distant with the blonde recently. It’s not like nothing bad happened between them either.
Eventually, Kate had realised that she wanted to be closer to Yelena, in a certain way that other people wouldn’t consider on a day to day basis. A couple weeks ago, Kate was attempting to scare Yelena by creeping up on her and jumping on her. However, Yelena was quick to turn around and shake her fingers into Kate’s ribs, smirking as she did so.
That was the only time Yelena did something like that to Kate, and she immediately felt closer to the spy and she wouldn’t hate it if it happened again.
Kate concluded that her sub-conscious decided that if she had distanced herself from Yelena, then Yelena would eventually come and bug her and hopefully tickle her.
It had been a few days now and Yelena was yet to acknowledge Kate’s distancing. She just made occasional comments about Kate’s cooking. So the archer decided to just pluck up the courage to go and ask her.
“Hey Yelena…”
“Kate Bishop! Good to see you.” Yelena smiled as she began to wash up her bowl. Kate went up to her, offering a towel so she could dry up afterwards.
“Is everything okay? I cannot help but feel like you have been distant from me, did I do something wrong?” Yelena asked, taking the towel to dry up her bowl, putting it away. Although the blonde had never really went out of her way to talk to Kate, she still wanted to be friends with her, she did sometimes feel that she wasn’t that approachable, but she was always willing to spend time with Kate.
The archer looked at Yelena awkwardly, now unsure about how to ask Yelena for what she wanted, she just shrugged in response. “You didn’t do anything wrong.” She reassured quietly. “It’s just…”
“Just what?” Yelena prompted, poking at Kate’s sides in an attempt to get her to talk, not realize that she was doing exactly what Kate wanted to do.
The archer was flinching and biting her lip, trying not to smile as she shrugged in response, the way she had been fidgeting caused Yelena to raise her eyebrows in response.
The younger Widow did notice Kate’s reaction when she tickled her the other day. The archer seemed to be elated for the rest of the day. She couldn’t help but wonder if Kate liked it, Yelena could tell that the younger woman was trying hard not to light up whilst Yelena was poking at her sides.
“Can you… do the thing?” Kate finally asked awkwardly, scanning Yelena’s face for her reaction, and even stepping back just in case Yelena was mad.
“Do what thing, Kate Bishop?” Yelena asked teasingly as she continued poking at Kate’s sides, smirking as she watched the archer squirm around.
Kate flinched around, knowing that Yelena knew what she was talking about, the thought making her let out a shy giggle as she stepped back again. Yelena smirked even more and simply took another step towards her, continuing the teasing pokes, but this time along her belly and ribs as well.
“N-nothing!” Kate giggled out, stepping back once more before Yelena tackled her into a hug.
“C’mere!” Yelena told her through gritted teeth before squeezing rapidly into Kate’s sides, the swift attack making Kate yelp and jump, bursting into hysterical giggles as she weakly pushed at Yelena’s hands.
“YEHEHEHEHELEHEHENA!” Kate cackled out, squirming in the blondes arms as she fell to her knees and giggled helplessly.
Yelena smirked and followed Kate to the ground, quickly straddling her waist before shaking into her ribs. “What? Isn’t this what you wanted? Huh?” She teased, making sure she got every bone, and in between, which drove Kate absolutely crazy as she shrieked with giggles.
“GAHAHAHAHAH-“ Kate shrieked, lightly batting at Yelena’s hands in a pathetic attempt to get the blonde off her. She couldn’t process what was actually happening, but she was loving it anyway.
“Aww, I cannot believe Kate Bishop likes to be tickled!” Yelena cooed, suddenly moving to her armpits and digging in, making sure to really dig into the hollows to get Kate squealing with laughter. The young archer couldn’t help but blush at Yelena’s comments, knowing she wasn’t wrong.
“This is actually quite cute.” The blonde told her, smiling fondly at her giggling friend before she gave Kate yet another surprise attack by drilling her thumbs into her hips, making Kate shriek with laughter and continue to weakly shove at Yelena’s hands.
“NOHOHOHO IT IS NOHOHOHOT!” Kate laughed out, her legs kicking out behind Yelena to the point where her knees smacked the blondes back, which made Yelena pause and raise her eyebrows.
“I am doing such a nice thing for you, and this is the thanks I receive?” Yelena asked her, before putting her hands behind her back and squeezing into Kate’s thighs, digging in up and down with a cheeky smirk as the archer yelped and laughed even harder.
“Aaaaand I found a sensitive spot! Bonus!” The younger Widow teased as she made sure to gently dig into every inch of her thighs that she could reach, smirking as Kate squealed with laughter and attempted to sit up to push Yelena away.
“NAHAHAHAH NOHOHOHOT THEHEHEHEHERE!” Kate screeched out, squeezing her legs shut as she kept trying to get away. She soon figured out that she couldn’t escape, so was quick to escape her fate and threw her head back and laughed freely.
“Not here? Why ever not?” Yelena asked, drilling into the spot just above her knees, causing Kate to cackle out and cover her face, not realizing how sensitive she was there.
“IHIHIHIT TIHIHIHICKLES!” Kate replied, squealing with laughter whilst kicking her legs out, but thankfully not kicking Yelena in the process.
“Well good, that means I’m giving you what you want!” Yelena beamed, shaking into her belly briefly for a good thirty seconds before letting her go, smirking as she got off her and held out a hand to help her up.
After Kate took a few seconds to recover, she managed to grab Yelena’s hand and stood up, blushing as she looked up at Yelena, who was stood with a smirk and folded arms.
“Soooo, what do you say?” Yelena asked teasingly, raising an eyebrow expectedly, knowing that she wouldn’t move until she heard the words she wanted to hear.
“Thank you…” Kate murmured out with a bright blush on her face, smiling nonetheless. However, this wasn’t enough for Yelena, who wanted to tease her friend further.
“Thank you for what?” The blonde asked, cupping her ear to prompt her as Kate whined and shoved at Yelena, who didn’t even budge at the playful shove.
“Thank you for tickling me…” Kate mumbled out almost silently before quickly taking the opportunity to go to the living room to hide away from Yelena.
The blonde smiled fondly, Kate Bishop was a sweet kid, and that playful experience just made her more determined to get closer to her as a friend, at least now she knows a way for the two to bond.
Summary: when Kate and Yelena both get into the elevator, they bring up some memories. However, when Kate tries to annoy Yelena, she quickly realizes that she’d made a big mistake.
Warning: ✨TICKLES✨
Kate had a proud smirk on her face as she made her way back home, to the Avenger’s Tower. As a single mother raising a dog, it was her duty to provide her trusted companion with new toys and snacks every now and then. Not wanting to leave Fanny out of the fun, she was currently carrying a bag full of dog supplies, ready to surprise them.
Soon after she arrived at the base of the tower, making her way to the elevator since there was no way she was going to walk up the million stairs. In the distance she spotted familiar blonde hair, causing a grin to appear on her face and her pace to quicken. It appeared that Yelena had gone out for a jog, given how she was wearing sporting clothes and quickly drinking from her water bottle, and had returned moments earlier, waiting for the elevator as well. Kate started to jog towards her, her bag swinging from side to side.
“Yelena!” She called out, causing the blonde to look over her shoulder. She let out a groan as she spotted the brunette, a smirk forming on her face since she had learned to appreciate the young archer. However, when with a familiar ‘ding’ the elevator opened in front of her, Yelena wasted no time dashing into it, immediately hitting the ‘close’ button with a wide grin on her face. Kate noticed what the blonde was trying to do, quickly sprinting towards her.
“Oh no you don’t!” She growled, managing to slip into the elevator in the last second, standing next to the smaller woman with a smug grin on her face.
“Ah,” Yelena let out another groan, rolling her eyes at the brunette. “I figured it’d work this time,” She said, the corners of her mouth tugging upwards. Kate shook her head with a smile, looking pretty full of herself.
“Didn’t work last time, won’t work next time,” She promised.
The two of them stood there in a comfortable silence, watching the numbers go up as they listened to the ridiculous ‘elevator music’ Tony had installed. When they approached the 12th floor, Kate let out a snort, causing Yelena to look at her.
“Shouldn’t you get out here? I mean, if you hurry you might catch up with Clint,” She said, trying very hard not to burst into giggles. Yelena narrowed her eyes at the archer, turning to face her.
“Kate Bishop, are you mocking me?” She questioned, her tone dangerous yet her eyes shining mischievously. Kate quickly shook her head, noticing the danger.
“No no, I would never do that… but are you sure you don’t wanna get off here? Here, let me push it for you,” She said with a grin, reaching out to press the little ‘12’ button. However, as soon as her hand moved forward, Yelena reached out and grabbed it, her other hand grabbing Kate by the neck before twirling her around. Very much like the previous time, Kate let out a yelp as she was being spun, looking a little dazed as Yelena, who was smirking widely, let her go.
“You’re not the only one who remembers their tricks from last year, Kate Bishop, don’t think you can beat me now,” The assassin said, raising an eyebrow at her with a smile. Kate huffed, before grinning mischievously as she got an idea.
“Maybe I can’t beat you in speed, but I can definitely beat you in being annoying,” She stated, before diving towards the button panel. Yelena, who realized a second too late what she was planning, reached forward to grab her arm with a loud ‘nO’, but it was too late. The archer let out a giggle as she hit the remaining 30 plus buttons, causing Yelena to let out an annoyed groan.
“Oh come on! That’s so annoying!” She cried out, glaring at the taller woman who simply smirked at her.
“You’re the one who started all of this!” Kate chuckled, clearly amused at Yelena’s annoyance.
The latter rolled her eyes and cursed something in Russian under her breath. Somehow this annoying little puppy could still get under her skin, yet it didn’t anger her as much as it did before. Still, it annoyed her and she felt the need to make some sort of comeback. Looking around in the elevator, the blonde realized it was far more spacious than a standard one, fit for at least 15 people, which also made it quite sturdy. An idea came to her mind, and a smile slowly spread on her face as she turned to Kate.
“You know, I just realized something… I never finished what you started last year,” She said, causing Kate to raise a brow at her.
“What’s that?” The archer asked, quite curious herself. When she noticed the still growing smile on Yelena’s face, she immediately felt a nervous tingle in her stomach.
“I never returned the favor for that pathetic slap you gave me,” Yelena smirked, causing Kate’s eyes to widen immediately. When the blonde made a quick movement towards her, the archer closed her eyes and quickly moved one arm upwards to block a possible slap to the face. What she didn’t expect was a force to fully hit her, as Yelena tacked her to the floor of the elevator. It took her about 0.2 seconds to pin Kate on her stomach, straddling her lower back.
“Oof! Hey, what gives!” Kate cried out, looking over her shoulder at the shorter woman. She had expected a slap to the face, not being tackled to the ground.
“What? You expected me to hit you? No Kate Bishop, I know something that works much better against you,” Yelena grinned, wiggling her fingers into the air, causing the archer’s eyes to go wide again. Oh no.
“Yelena don’t you dare! Please dohohohon’t!” Kate almost shrieked, giggles of anticipation already leaving her lips. Yelena chuckled and shook her head, secretly finding it cute that Kate was giggling already. She, of course, would never admit that for as long as she lived.
“Katie, you’re already laughing and I didn’t even touch you yet! You’re so silly,” She smirked, reaching down to rapidly knead her sides, causing the archer to literally jump up from the floor.
“Yeleeehehehehena! Nohohohohoo dohohohohon’t tihihhickle meeeeeeehehehehehe!” She cried out with giggles, reaching backwards to try and reach for her wrists. Yelena grinned and easily avoided them, moving her hands under Kate’s shirt to flutter her nails against her bare back, earning even more adorable giggles.
“Whaaaat? But you’re so ticklish, it would be a shame not to torture you with tickles,” Yelena teased, causing Kate to blush hard. The elevator stopped at the next floor, causing the blonde to chuckle evilly.
“I bet you reeeeally regret pushing all those buttons now, don’t you? Now I have all the time in the world to tickle you to death,” She smirked, moving her hands down to claw at her ribs. Kate violently jerked and started to snort amongst her hysterical giggling, trying to curl up into a ball.
“AaahahaahAAHAHAHA! NAAHAHAHAT THEHEHEHEHERE!” The brunette shrieked when Yelena hit a particular bad spot on her lower ribs, banging one fist against the floor while the other still tried to reach for her hands.
“Oh? Kate Bishop, did I find a weakspot? Right here?” She teased, immediately prodding at the little spot. Kate let out another shriek, placing her own hand over her ribs to protect herself.
“Pleehehehease not thehehehehere!” Kate pleaded, only to shriek again when Yelena moved her hands up towards her unprotected underarms.
“What about here then? Does it tickle here?” Yelena grinned, already knowing the answer and the reaction Kate was going to give. Said archer immediately slammed her arms against her sides, barking with laughter as she rolled around with the limited movement she had. While Yelena’s hands were trapped under Kate’s arms, she was still able to move her fingertips, continuing to tickle her. It was a technique she had developed against Natasha over the years, and she was very proud of it.
“OHOHOHOHO MY GAAHAHAHAHAD! STAAHAHAHAHAHAP THAHAHAHAHAT!” Her eyes were closed shut and her cheeks were already turning pink from laughing so much. In an attempt to stop the tickles, she bent her legs backwards to push against the blonde’s back.
“Kate Bishop, keep your stinky feet away from me!” Yelena protested, ceasing her tickle attack for a moment to try and dodge the shoes. Kate, who finally got a moment to catch her breath, quickly shook her head.
“Yohohours are wahahay wohohorse!” She giggled, knowing it probably wasn’t wise to poke fun at Yelena in this position, but who was she kidding? She couldn’t resist. Yelena scoffed at her, pulling her hands free from her underarms, only to quickly reach backwards. In a swift move she grabbed Kate’s left ankle, pulling it towards her. They still had about 20 floors to go, so she figured she’d grant the poor girl a small break. Very small.
“You have two floors to catch your breath, so I suggest you use your time wisely,” Yelena smirked, starting to undo the shoe of the trapped foot. Kate let out a sharp gasp as she felt the tugs at her shoe, immediately clawing at the floor as she realized where Yelena was going to tickle next.
“No no no! No please nohohoho! Don’t tickle my foot! Plehehehehease!” She pleaded among her giggles, her pleas obviously falling on deaf ears. Kate tried to crawl away, tugged at her leg and even tried to reach backwards again, yet nothing worked in her favor. Yelena smirked, knowing that the anticipation would make it so much worse for her.
“Catch your breath, Katie… you’ll need it,” She promised, causing the archer to burst into another set of nervous giggles. As soon as the elevator opened two floors later, the assassin started to tickle the trapped foot, immediately going for her heel.
“BAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOHO WAHAHAHAHAIT! SHIHIHHIHIHIHIT!” Kate immediately banged a fist against the cold floor, wiggling her foot madly from side to side. Yet no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t shake off the sharp nails on her heel. Yelena cackled, greatly enjoying her reactions.
“Wait for what? Breaktime is over, Katie, it’s punishment again,” She smirked, alternating between her heel and the middle of her foot. Yelena knew that the young girl was very ticklish on her feet, and she planned to heavily exploit that weakness. Kate was still wearing her sock - Yelena didn’t feel like touching her bare stinky foot - yet it didn’t provide any protection against the dagger nails.
“PLEEHEHEHHEHEASE! IHIHIHIHIT TIHIHIHICKLES SOHOHO BAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAD!!” The brunette howled with laughter, burying her face into one of her arms while her other leg kicked around wildly. However, Kate was smart and aware enough to keep it out of range from the blonde. Yelena playfully rolled her eyes at that, shaking her head in mock disappointment.
“That’s the point, Kate Bishop,” She stated, moving her nails up towards the socked toes to emphasize her point. “I’m punishing you, it’s supposed to tickle~,” The assassin said with a far too wide grin. She gently scratched at the undersides of the toes, and when Kate curled them to protect the ticklish area, she simply fluttered her sharp nails against the tops, quite literally keeping the archer on her toes. Kate had given up on trying to crawl away and had fallen into silent laughter, unable to take the tickles at all.
Not wanting to actually torture her friend, Yelena let go of her foot and reached backwards to gently squeeze the back of her thighs. Kate’s head snapped up at the sudden change of tickle spot, her laughter dying down from wheezing to loud giggles again, allowing her to catch her breath for a bit.
“Don’t die on me, Katie, I’m not done with you yet,” She teased, scribbling towards her inner thighs. Her giggles started to quicken again, and Kate looked over her shoulder at Yelena with puppy eyes, tears of mirth and laughter shining in them.
“Plehehehehehhease! Break! Breehehehehehheak!” She pleaded, causing Yelena to roll her eyes yet cease her attack once again. Damn those puppy eyes.
“I understand why Natasha calls you ‘puppy’ all the time,” She teased, the blush on Kate’s cheeks growing worse. While the brunette caught her breath, panting and giggling on the floor, Yelena looked up at the elevator. They still had a few floors to go, so she still had time.
In another swift move she stood up, rolling the unsuspecting archer on her back before sitting on her waist. Kate let out a yelp in surprise, her cheeks burning even redder as she stared up at the most mischievous grin she had seen in a while.
“I saved the best for last, so I hope you’re ready to die,” Yelena chuckled, not even bothering about letting her reply as she slipped her hands under the already loosened top, her long nails scribbling against the toned stomach. Kate burst into hysterical giggles right away, reaching forward to grab Yelena’s wrists since her hands were still free. As she tried to push them away from her stomach, she realized that the tickle attack had weakened her quite a bit, and she didn’t have the strength left to win this battle.
"Nohohohohho! Nohohohot theheheHEHEHERE! YELENAHHAHAHAHAA!!" Kate let out a squeal of laughter, sucking in her stomach to try and avoid the nails.
“I told you you can’t beat me, you should’ve listened when you had the chance,” Yelena teased, clawing at the middle of her stomach with one hand while fluttering her nails against Kate’s waist with her other hand. The archer threw her head back and started kicking her legs wildly, her giggles turning into a deep-belly laugh.
“Awww look at you, kicking your legs like that! You really are a puppy, aren’t you?” The blonde grinned widely, speeding up her fingers. When Kate realized she couldn’t push those hands away, she simply laid herself back on the floor and started to laugh louder and faster, laying one arm over her face to cover her burning red cheeks. She had accepted her death, but that didn’t make it any less embarrassing. Yelena continued to tickle her stomach with both hands, cackling along with her, until they approached the top floor. She jumped up and pulled Kate, who had turned into a puddle of hysterical giggles, onto her feet.
“Well that was entertaining! We should do that more often, don’t you think?” Yelena smirked, not even phased by the glare Kate shot her.
Meanwhile, Natasha sat on the couch, snuggled into one of the corners as she enjoyed one of her favorite books. When she heard the familiar ‘ding’ from the elevator she looked up, immediately spotting Yelena and Kate. She also immediately spotted how out-of-breath Kate was looking, and how big the shit-eating grin on Yelena’s face was. Both of them stepped out, making their way towards the redhead.
“Hey sweet girl, how was the jog?” Natasha asked with a smile as Yelena approached her, immediately wrinkling her nose as she caught the scent of sweat. “Don’t even think about cuddling me right now,” She immediately warned, playfully raising a brow at her sister. Yelena rolled her eyes and had to resist the urge to pout.
“Fine, I’ll go shower first, then I demand cuddles,” She said, before looking at Kate. “You have fifteen minutes, then I’m kicking you off of the couch if you’re sitting too close,” She warned with a hint of a smile, before heading towards the showers. Natasha felt her heart swell with pride and love as she realized Yelena was actually sharing her with Kate under some sort of agreement. It was small, but it was a huge difference compared to how they had started.
As soon as Yelena was out of the room, Kate dropped her bag of dog toys on the ground and collapsed on the couch with a groan, causing Natasha to raise an eyebrow, a smile tugging at her lips.
“So… do I even want to know?” She asked, the smile now audible in her voice. Kate let out another groan yet looked up at her, rolling on her back.
“I may have annoyed Yelena in the elevator by pushing all the buttons on the panel, and she may have completely destroyed me with tickles all the way up…” She admitted with a mumble, averting her eyes to the side of the couch. Natasha let out a sigh and shook her head with a fond smile.
“Are you never going to learn that you can’t beat her in being annoying?” She teased, reaching over to boop Kate on her nose, who wrinkled it in that adorable way right after.
“Hmmph,” She pouted, folding her arms over her chest.
“Oh come on, don’t pout, you know you did that to yourself,” Natasha playfully rolled her eyes at her, shifting closer to the archer. Kate’s lips started to tremble as she fought the smile on her face, her stubborn side taking over again.
“Hmmph,” She pouted again, knowing that it wasn’t the best decision at the time. But then again, when had that ever stopped her?
“Alright that’s it, come here you,” Natasha let out a playful growl and reached forward, hooking her hands under Kate’s arms to drag her closer to herself, wiggling her fingers in the process. The latter let out a shriek at the ticklish sensations, slamming her arms to her sides while bursting into giggles. Natasha pulled her onto her lap, her own arms wrapped around Kate’s to keep her trapped.
“If you’re gonna be pouty, then I’ll have to make you smile. You know the rules,” Natasha teased, starting to gently tickle at her sides. The young girl shrieked and started to giggle loudly again, weakly squirming in her grip.
“Nohohoho pleehehhehease! I’ve beheheheen tihihickled eeehehehenough!” She cried out, still exhausted from the tickle attack in the elevator. Natasha pretended to think about it, while continuing to tickle her sides, before stopping eventually.
“Alright, I’ll let you off the hook for now,” She winked, now cuddling her instead. The young girl visibly relaxed in her arms, leaning into the embrace.
“Do you think she’ll actually kick me off of the couch?” She asked, a smile audible in her voice.
“I’m certain she can, but there’s only one way to find out, right?” Natasha chuckled, planning on cuddling Kate until Yelena returned. “But don’t worry, I’ll protect you, so you stay right here and cuddle with me,” She said, nuzzling her nose against Kate's neck.
Kate grinned widely and nodded eagerly at that, her heart filling with joy. “Thanks Tasha,”

--------------------------------------
Kate was currently lying down on the couch in the Avenger’s House. It was day one of her period, which was always the worst for her. All she wanted was for her cramps to go away. She had taken some medicine earlier, but her symptoms persisted.
However, the one good thing that came from these kinds of days was that Yelena would always be nice to her. For one day each month, the blonde would help cook her meals, take care of her, and save her pranks for the following week.
“Do you need a heating pad?” Yelena asked, walking over to her with one in her hands.
“Sure, thanks.” Kate accepted it, enjoying the warmth that it brought.
Yelena also brought over a glass of water and sat down on the couch with her.
“You’re so lucky you don’t have to experience this,” Kate said.
“You do realize I don’t have them because my organs were ripped out of me right?” Yelena looked at her with ridicule.
“I know, I’m sorry. I just wish I didn’t have my period, but I know what you went through was a thousand times worse,” Kate sighed.
“Do you want a massage to help your cramps?” Yelena offered.
Kate hesitated a bit before answering. “Maybe…I guess nothing else has worked so far.”
“You’re not going to freak out, are you?” Yelena questioned.
“Freak out?”
“Well, you’re super ticklish, I thought maybe you’d flail if I touched your stomach,” the blonde giggled.
“I wouldn’t do that! As long as you’re not purposely trying to tickle me,” Kate insisted.
“I’ll try not to.” Yelena grinned.
“I don’t trust you,” Kate said, as Yelena gently placed her hands on her lower waist.
“Is this good?” The blonde asked, as Kate flinched from the initial touch.
“It’s fine.”
“Okay,” Yelena said, beginning to gently knead the girl’s waist.
This time, Yelena wasn’t purposely trying to tickle her, but she couldn’t help but laugh at the brunette’s attempt to not giggle.
Kate kept her hands close by, ready to push Yelena away the moment it became too much.
The blonde put a little bit more pressure, which caused Kate to squeal and push her hands away.
“Yelena!”
“What? I didn’t do anything. Would you rather me spider my fingers over your waist?” Yelena teasingly threatened.
“No!”
Natasha had just walked into the room, since the two girls had woken her up from her nap with their bickering.
“What’s going on?” The redhead asked.
“I’m helping Kate with her cramps by giving her a massage, but she won’t sit still,” Yelena explained.
Natasha chuckled and sat down on the nearby armchair.
“That’s because you’re not doing it right. You’re supposed to be firm so that it doesn’t tickle,” Kate said.
“Fine,” the blond responded, putting much more pressure.
Kate sighed in relief, as it was now helping her cramps diminish much more than any other method had.
However, much like any repetitive touch, it was bound to start to tickle for her.
“Okay! I don’t have any more cramps,” Kate insisted, as Yelena looked at her skeptically.
“No, I think I still need to help you,” the blonde said, grinning as she now kneaded her waist with the intention of tickling her.
“YELEHEHENA! STAHAHAP!”
“But this is more fun,” the blonde responded.
“YOHOU PROMIHISED TO BEHEHE NIHICE!” Kate pushed Yelena’s hands away.
“Yelena…” Natasha warned her. As protective as the redhead was over her younger sister, she wasn’t afraid to step in when Yelena bullied Kate.
“What, Natasha? I’m just having a little fun with the puppy.”
“IHIHIM NOHOHOT A PUPPY!” Kate retorted, still laughing from Yelena tickling her sides.
With that, Natasha got up swiftly off the chair and pulled Yelena to the other end of the couch.
“How dare you tickle her when she’s suffering on her period,” Natasha tsked, pulling her younger sister into a bear hug and trapping her arms with one hand. With her other, she skittered her fingers across the blonde’s torso, causing her to shriek and kick in protest.
“NOHOHOHO NAHAHAT!”
Natasha always found it endearing when her sister called her Nat instead of Natasha, even if it was because she was laughing too hard to get her full name out.
“I’m just returning the favor! You were being so nice to Kate, I felt that you should receive some love too,” Natasha teased, leaning in to blow a raspberry on the side of her neck.
“Eeeek!” The blonde shrieked, curling up and feeling her ears turn red.
Kate was now sitting upright against the other end of the couch, giggling at the torment Yelena was suffering.
“You’re really ticklish,” Kate commented.
Yelena told her to shut up and cursed at her through her laughter. The blonde was also struggling to reach Natasha’s feet, but her arms were stuck in her sister’s grasp.
“You want to tickle my feet? Go ahead and try,” Natasha said, releasing Yelena’s arms, but using both of her hands to tickle in Yelena’s armpits.
The blonde squealed, clamping her arms down. This didn’t stop her sister, as her nails kept wiggling. Anytime Yelena would try to reach out to tickle Natasha’s feet, the redhead would tickle her faster, causing her to shriek and retract her hand. It was a fun little game for both of them.
“LEHEHET ME GOHO!” Yelena shouted, nearly falling off the couch when Natasha tickled her ribs.
“I don’t know, this is really fun,” Natasha pondered. Yelena then broke out of her grasp and quickly scrambled to sit on Natasha’s legs. With that, she began to tickle her sister’s feet, eliciting loud laughter from her.
“NOHOHO PLEHEHEASE IHIHIM SOHORRY!”
“Apologizing so quickly? Who are you?” Yelena asked, teasingly, as her sister was lost in laughter.
Yelena was within reach and wasn’t paying attention, so Kate took a risk and poked the blonde in the ribs, causing her to jump and temporarily stop tickling Natasha.
That wasn’t very wise, Kate Bishop,” Yelena said, reaching over to squeeze her knees. Kate kicked and screamed, regretting her mistake instantly.
However, the laughing had actually helped her take her mind off of her pain, which in turn helped her cramps feel better temporarily. It also helped that she was distracted by Yelena being tickled. It was great entertainment.
After Yelena’s slight victory over Kate, she was once again put in her place by Natasha until she surrendered.
Natasha, Yelena and Kate were spending an afternoon together after running errands. While shopping, Natasha let the two younger women choose a treat. Yelena chose mac and cheese and Kate chose a box of chocolate chip cookies.
“You know savory is way better than sweet,” Yelena said, pouring hot sauce on her mac and cheese.
“You do know that you’re making it spicy not savory, right?” Kate asked, as Yelena rolled her eyes.
Kate set her box of cookies on the counter, out of reach from the dogs. The girls then settled down on the couch to watch a movie.
“Are you serious, Yelena?” Natasha asked, sighing as her sister chose to watch Captain America and the Winter Soldier.
“What? Is it not a good movie?” Yelena questioned, smirking because they all knew she chose it to tease her sister about kissing Steve.
“Any objections?” Yelena asked, as Kate shook her head no, afraid if she disagreed with Yelena that she would turn on her.
Natasha gave her a knowing look, one that struck fear in the young girl. However, she would rather take her chances on Nat, who at least showed her mercy every once in a while.
“Alright, steamy Natasha and Steve movie it is,” Yelena said with a giggle, as Natasha threw popcorn at her.
After the movie, Yelena went out to take Fanny on a walk, while Kate and Natasha stayed behind.
Kate wandered into the kitchen, looking for a snack. She knew her cookies would just make her hungrier and she could predict Yelena lecturing her about savory versus sweet.
“You looking for something to eat?” Natasha asked, following her.
“Yeah, I’m a little hungry and I don’t think a snack will do me much,” Kate commented.
“How about this? You eat some of Yelena’s mac and cheese to get vengeance for me for those little digs during the movie,” Natasha said with a slight smile.
“But won’t she know it was me? You don’t even like mac and cheese,” Kate said.
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle Yelena. Do you want to be on my good side or not?” Natasha asked.
Kate sighed, knowing that this was her best chance to eat and also avoid Natasha’s punishment.
“Good girl,” Natasha said, ruffling her hair slightly.
Kate quickly ate some, hoping that Yelena wouldn’t notice at all. However, Yelena was hungry after her walk and went straight to the mac and cheese.
“WHO ATE MY PRIZED POSSESSION?!?” Yelena shouted, quickly going to confront Kate and her sister.
Kate clearly stiffened up, but Natasha looked like she was used to this.
“It was you Kate Bishop wasn’t it?! You’re a dirty little thief!” Yelena accused.
“It wasn’t me!” Kate defended herself.
Yelena turned towards her sister, looking for an answer.
“It was indeed Kate,” Natasha said, now smirking.
Kate’s mouth dropped open in disbelief, feeling betrayed as the redhead outed her.
“That’s not true!” Kate insisted.
“Your reaction says otherwise. Besides, I know Natasha doesn’t like mac and cheese. Just Steve,” Yelena said with a cackle. Natasha narrowed her eyes at her sister, knowing that she was past her three strike limit. But her focus right now was to get revenge on Kate.
“I can’t believe you tricked me!” Kate cried.
“Hey, you didn’t vote against the movie and let Yelena make fun of me the entire time,” Natasha said, as she helped her sister pin the brunette.
“No, please! Don’t tickle me!” Kate said.
“Tickle you? Well now that you suggest that, it’s a good idea for what you’ve done,” Yelena said, sitting on her waist, as Natasha held her arms up.
The blonde began to skitter her nails in her armpits, causing Kate to burst out laughing.
“YELEHEHENA I HAHATE YOU!” Kate shouted, kicking her legs frantically.
“And I hate the fact you ate my mac and cheese,” Yelena commented calmly.
“I DIDN’T EHEHEAT AHAHALL OF IHIHIT!” Kate laughed.
Yelena smirked, bringing her hands down to softly squeeze her sides. Kate bucked against her, thrashing around to try to get away.
“You’re not going anywhere little girl,” Natasha teased.
“PLEHEHEASE! STAHAHAP IHIHIHIT!” Kate squealed, as Yelena began to poke her ribs and tummy.
“Where are you most ticklish?” Yelena questioned.
“IHIHI DOHONT KNOHOW!”
“Try her feet,” Yelena told her sister.
Natasha let her arms go and went down to her feet. Kate tried to use this opportunity to push Yelena off of her, but the blonde was too quick, pinning her hands to her chest.
Natasha smirked before gliding her nails over Kate’s soft feet. Kate let out a squeal, scrunching up her toes in an attempt to protect them.
“YOHOHOU SNAHAHAKE,” Kate shouted at Nat, screaming with laughter now as the redhead sped up her nails as a result of the insult.
“OHOHOKAY STAHAHAP PLEHEHEASE NOHOHO MOHOHORE!”
“Just tell us your worst spot and we’ll stop,” Yelena said.
“FIHINE! MY STOMACH!” Kate shouted over her laughter. The two sisters shared a look before they decided to take turns blowing raspberries on the poor girl’s stomach. Kate tapped out shortly after, and the girls let her go.
“That’s what you get for eating my mac and cheese,” Yelena said triumphantly.
“And this is what you get for all the teasing you’ve done all day about Steve and me,” Natasha said, grabbing her sister in a bear hug and tickling any open spot on her upper body.
“This will teach you both who’s in charge and has all the power,” Natasha said, reaching up to skitter her nails on the back of Yelena’s neck, making her scrunch up and beg for her sister to stop.
Natasha let her sister go reluctantly, truly enjoying the ability to make her squeal and giggle with a light touch.
“You two are both troublemakers,” Natasha commented.
“Yeah but you set me up,” Kate complained.
“Hmm, that’s true. You might be slightly more well behaved than Yelena over here,” Natasha quipped.
They could both tell that Yelena wanted to retort so badly but was afraid of being tickled again.
“Cat’s got your tongue?” Natasha teased.
“There is no cat on my tongue,” Yelena said in disgust.
“It’s just a saying,” Kate said, giving Yelena the side eye.
“Whatever Kate Bishop.”
“Alright you two, no more bickering,” Natasha said.
“Such a mom,” Yelena said with an eye roll.
Natasha raised an eyebrow at her, reaching out to tickle her again.
“No, stop! I’m sorry,” Yelena whined, quickly moving away from her sister.
“That’s what I thought,” Natasha said.
Kate decided it was best to keep her distance from both of them and to keep her mouth shut. She didn’t want them to tag team her again. She seemed to always get it the worst, but of course she didn’t mind.
Request: Can I request a Clint x family x Kate fic, maybe it’s set when Kate comes home with Clint for Christmas and she learns all about their traditions specifically their Christmas tickle fight? 🥰 (if you don’t want to write this prompt that’s totally ok!! Xo)
Note: To the person who sent this prompt, I am so sorry it took so long to get to. However, I think this was a good time to write it! It was a really cute prompt, and I hope you enjoy! Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!
It was cold and snowing outside, as a familiar car pulled up in front of the Barton household. Kate hopped out of the passenger side, helping Clint unload all the gifts for his family.
“So where’s my present?” Kate asked jokingly.
“Me bringing you here is already a gift,” Clint replied, knowing that by now Kate understood his sarcasm and snarkiness.
Kate smiled to herself, eager to spend Christmas with the Bartons for the first time in a while.
“Hello Kate, it’s so nice to see you again,” Laura said sincerely, opening the door for the two archers.
“DADDY!” Nate cried out, running over to hug his father. Clint set the presents down and picked up his youngest son, who was giggling with excitement.
Cooper and Lila came over, both giving Kate and Clint hugs.
After the hugs and greetings, they all sat down in the family room, drinking hot coco.
“So Kate, I know you haven’t been here for many Christmases, so I haven’t been able to teach you all of our traditions,” Clint said, breaking the silence.
“I’d love to learn all of your traditions!” Kate said excitedly.
“We like to build snowmen!” Nate cheered excitedly.
“No, the best part is the snowball fight!” Cooper chimed in.
“I like baking and decorating cookies the best!” Lila said, as Clint nodded in agreement.
“Me too Lila. It’s the least rowdy of them all,” Clint said, as Kate rolled her eyes playfully.
“What should we start with first? Kate, why don’t you choose?” Laura suggested.
“I think I want to start with making cookies,” Kate said, as Lila high fived her.
A few hours later, there were delicious cookies cooling down on the table. A mix of chocolate chip, sugar, and peanut butter cookies awaited. They each took a sugar cookie and began decorating it, with a variety of colored icing and sprinkles.
After decorating their own cookies, they sat down to enjoy them with glasses of milk to go with it.
“These cookies are delicious!” Nate shouted, sporting a milk mustache with crumbs on his face.
Kate giggled at the messy boy, ruffling his hair to add on to the cuteness.
After enjoying the cookies, the six of them went outside to build snowmen.
Kate made hers an archer, after herself, and was proud of her work.
“You forgot something on your snowman,” Clint said flatly.
“First of all, it’s a snowwoman. And second of all, it’s perfect,” Kate replied, turning her nose in the air.
“No, if it’s made after you then you forgot the goofy grin on its face,” Clint replied with a smirk.
“I don’t have a goofy grin!” Kate exclaimed, as she was hit in the stomach with a snowball.
“OOF!” The archer doubled over.
“Who threw that?!?” Kate questioned, with the silly, goofy grin that Clint was talking about.
“See, there it is. All you need to do is add it,” Clint said while laughing.
“Oh that’s it,” Kate said, throwing a snowball at Clint, as Cooper declared a snowball fight.
Snowballs were fired, as everyone tried their best to dodge them. Kate snuck around, hiding behind a bush, waiting for her chance.
She saw Clint was distracted, so she quickly snuck up behind him and dumped snow down his back.
“AAAHHH,” Clint yelped, as Kate quickly ran towards the kids to protect herself.
“Oh you’ve done it Kate,” Clint said, shaking his head with a smile.
“You guys are on my side, right?” Kate asked the kids.
“No!” Nate shouted bluntly.
Kate’s eyes widened, as she was then chased inside of the house, where the three kids tackled her onto the couch.
“What are you—AHAHAHAAHAHAHA,” Kate laughed, as she was now being tickled by all three Batron children.
“We forgot to tell you about our traditional Christmas tickle fight,” Lila said, as they tickled all over her upper body.
Clint eventually came inside, helping pin Kate while the kids continued to tickle her.
“NOHOHOHO THIHIHIS IHIHISN’T FAHAHAIR,” Kate yelled out.
“Hey this is on you. You put snow down my back,” Clint replied, now letting her up and temporarily having mercy.
Kate now got her revenge, tickling the kids worse than she got.
Their laughter rang out throughout the house, mixed with squeals and lots of shouting.
“Clint, you’re the only one who hasn’t been tickled,” Kate said teasingly.
Before Clint could escape, Kate and the kids pinned him, as Kate began to tickle his armpits.
“KAHAHAHTE NOHOHOHOHO,” Clint cried out, unable to squirm away, as his children were stronger than he thought.
“Awwww the big bad archer can’t handle a little tickling?” Kate asked, now tickling his stomach and sides.
Clint was lost in laughter, as Kate switched off with the kids so they could also torture him.
They eventually let him go, as he lay there panting.
Kate quickly tried to run away, but Clint caught her foot, causing her to trip and fall facing downwards.
Clint quickly pinned her, digging into her ribs and sides, causing the poor girl to squeal with laughter.
“CLIHIHIHINT STAHAHAHAHAHAP,” Kate screamed, squirming to get away unsuccessfully.
“Welcome to the family tradition!” Clint said teasingly, as Kate was still hysterically giggling and laughing.
Clint began to tickle her armpits, while the kids got her sensitive feet.
“OHOHOKAY MEHEHEHERCY PLEHEHEHEASE,” Kate cried out, as they eventually let her up.
“That was fun!” Nate said, as Clint pulled him into his lap to give him a few more tickles, making the little boy squeal with laughter.
Kate threw a playful glare at Clint, as he just shrugged.
“I think we all know Kate’s favorite Christmas tradition,” Clint said, as Kate rolled her eyes playfully.
“You’re lucky I’m nice,” Kate said, giving Clint a look of warning.
“Nice? You’re the one putting snow down my back,” Clint retorted.
Kate pouted in defeat, knowing that if she said the wrong thing, she would get tickled to pieces again.
After a few moments of silence, Kate spoke up.
“Thank you for having me over for Christmas. I really enjoyed all the traditions,” Kate said shyly.
“Anytime Kate. You’re always welcome here,” Laura responded.
“And she makes a great tickle target,” Lila teased, as Kate reached out to tickle the younger girl.
With that, round two of the traditional Christmas tickle fight resumed, filling the air with laughter. Kate knew that she had finally found her place, and Clint knew that he had just gained an extra child.
