"Come on Y/N," Kate huffed. "Talk to me."

You rotated yourself in your seat to turn your back to your girlfriend as you had been repeatedly doing over the last quarter of an hour. Although as a whole you loved Kate dearly, she had annoyed you beyond reason currently and the silent treatment seemed like a fitting punishment for her. It wasn't something you pulled from your arsenal often, but it was certainly one of the most effective ways to get your point across to Kate.

An exasperated sign escaped Kate, frustration consuming her. Maybe it was immature for you to keep up the silent treatment, but you couldn't deny the amusement you felt when it came to riling up Kate. Her annoyance had finally bubbled up to her tipping point and she was going to retaliate with an equally heinous response.

Without warning, she leapt on top of you, forcing herself into your lap so that there was no way for you to turn around from her this time- you'd have no choice but to face her. Kate began her onslaught on your sides, tickling you without any remorse. You screamed out for help between pained laughs, no longer able to be silent, rather having to beg her to release you from her heartless attacks.

"Are you going to talk to me?" Kate asked, using her body weight and position to pin you down onto the sofa without any way to escape.

"Whatever," you screeched. "Let me go."

She offered you benevolence and stopped tickling you but continued to sit on top of you to make sure that she could restart attacking you at any moment if you didn't comply with her terms.

"It's really stupid that you've refused to talk to me all day," she frowned.

"I haven't got anything to say to you," you said, scrunching up your nose at her. "You know what you did."

Kate rolled her eyes at you. "I don't get why you're mad at me. I got a chance to be a superhero, it was hardly something I could pause and come get you first."

Your eyes darted away from hers. It may have been petty, but it was something that had bothered you more than it should have. The two of you had been enamoured with the avengers and how much good they did, you had had dreams that you would be able to do the same and she had been able to live that dream without you.

"I'm not annoyed that you got to be a superhero, I'm annoyed that you didn't even consider me being your sidekick."

She laughed, moving a hand to cup your cheek.

"Honey, I was the sidekick. I could hardly have one of my own."

"I'm still annoyed," you pouted.

Kate pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead. "I promise next time I get to be a superhero I'll give you a call."
