Re: [December 12 | Action]
I don't even know if I'm doing the right thing.
[December 12 | Action]
I don't think anyone does, not in this place. Don't think we were ever prepared for this.
But I don't think you're doing the wrong thing.
Re: [December 12 | Action]
[She curls against him, arm twined about his waist, her head cushioned on his chest now, his heartbeat steady and familiar under her ear. He's warm, and she settles down against him, soaking up his heat.]
I'm glad you think so, at least. If this ever comes out... I'm not sure they'll thank me for keeping it from them.
[December 12 | Action]
[He relaxes with her there next to him, the feeling of her familiar. His free hand runs down her back, tracing idle patterns.]
I don't think they'd be thankful for you bringing it up either.
Re: [December 12 | Action]
[There's dry humor in her voice as she relaxes against him, his touch soothing.]
Neither option is especially pleasant. But he's happy. Happier than I've ever known him. That's important. I can keep this secret if it means preserving that.
[December 12 | Action]
[He smirks, grip tightening for a moment.]
Then that should be good enough. Our lives... people like us... [People like Barnes would become.] We get little enough of it as is.
Re: [December 12 | Action]
[Her retort is wry, but his following comment earns a sigh and a faint nod as she curls closer, trying to get warm.]
Yes. I know. It is.
[That didn't mean she didn't have her moments of wistfulness, or regret.]
[December 12 | Action]
[He wraps them up carefully in the covers, holding her close, a little nest of warmth and protection between them.[
Seems like this place loves dredging up the past.
[December 12 | Action]
[She chuckles when she says it, one leg tangling with him as she settles down against him, comfortable once more, her fingers tracing absently against his shoulder.]
Seems so. More than I imagined possible That's worrisome. I can think of a lot of skeletons I'd rather remained buried. [She gives a quiet sigh.] Despite everything, I can't say he's one of them, though. This will be... interesting.
[She's not sure she wants to talk about this anymore, isn't sure she wants to let her mind wander down paths of 'what if' and 'maybe' so she tilts her head back to peer up at him in the darkness.]
Think you'll be able to get back to sleep?
[December 12 | Action]
[He gives a soft, pleased hum and closes his eyes, feeling more settled now.]
Same. I admit, I worry about what the others could find out about me.
At least it's never going to be boring.
[He considers that for a moment and then nods.]
Yeah, I think so.
Re: [December 12 | Action]
[She tucks her fingers against his neck, her touch light.] Everyone has secrets, Clint. Don't borrow trouble in the meantime.
Is anything ever boring these days?
{She smiles faintly and turns her head to press a light kiss to his shoulder]
Get some more rest, then. We don't have to be up yet. Might as well take advantage of it.
[December 12 | Action]
[He makes a small, pleased sound when she touches his neck.]
When have I ever taken good advice? [His lips curve up into a smile, amusement colouring his voice.]
Nope. Don't think we'd know what to do if it was.
[He rubs his cheek against her hair.]
I don't think I've had this many lie-ins ever. Sleep well, Tasha.
Re: [December 12 | Action]
[There's a teasing note in her voice, but it's softer now, her fingers brushing lightly over warm skin.]
And never. But I keep hoping. Sleep, Clint. Pleasant dreams.
[December 12 | Action]
[He gives a soft laugh, the gentle touches soothing him back to sleep.]
You too, sweetheart.
