Narrative:

After takeoff from tul, and initial contact with tul departure, we had turned the aircraft to intercept the 097 degree radial off of tul, then proceeded to intercept the 253 degree radial off of rzc, as per our ATC clearance. Approach asked where we were headed because our clearance was to fly runway heading. Neither the captain nor I heard the request to fly runway heading.
