[ being kate bishop is half-parts pure guts and half-parts faking it till you make it. if she believes she's a badass, then she's a badass. if she believes she looks good like this — rumpled and cozy and ready for sleep, no make up on — then she looks good like this.
it helps, of course, that he continues to smile at her. the kind that reaches those eyes of his, pupils nearly blown out by now. this close, it's all too easy to keep playing that role, to close the final few inches of distance between them and press a light kiss to his cheek. she's done it plenty of times before, sweet and innocent. but this time it lingers, this time it hits him square at the corner of his mouth. ]
