MHA #10- Sunday morning

[throughaphase]

Kitty was having one of those weirdly productive mornings, where you managed to somehow be inspired to pay bills and reply to emails that you'd forgotten to reply to before and work on class and do all the little things that needed doing. She'd even managed to actually get her mail which, by the look of it, was something she should do more often because now she was sitting on her couch and having to actually go through it all.

Was it bad that this was making her feel less productive?


[For ze boy!]

Clint was having a productive morning too, in that he'd gotten up at a decent hour, and brought Lucky out for a walk to get some coffee and breakfast from JGOB. Now, he was knocking on Kitty's door to share his bounty.

[throughaphase]

Oh, good, a distraction. Kitty got up, going for the door and opened it with a smile. "Well, my Sunday just got better."

[so_hawkward]

"I'd feel appreciated, but I know you're saying that for Lucky," Clint said with a laugh. "Would you like a bagel?" he asked, holding the bag up.

[throughaphase]

"This is why I love you. I would love a bagel," she said, sneaking a kiss before opening the door to let them in.

[so_hawkward]

"I have coffee too, in cups for both of us so you can't make any caveman comments," Clint said. He came in and set the bagels out on the table, eying the pile of stuff on the couch. "Have you already been busy?"

[throughaphase]

"I am a productive girl this morning," she said, taking a minute to pet Lucky hello. "I'm thinking maybe I should get my mail more often maybe?"

[so_hawkward]

"Did you get an angry note from the post office saying they wouldn't deliver anything else until you cleared out your box?" Not that Clint had experience with that or anything.

[throughaphase]

"No. Probation because it's Eponine and she wouldn't," she said, sitting down. "There's just too much I have to deal with. And junk mail to throw out. And the trash is all the way over there."

[so_hawkward]

"Oh, you poor thing," Clint said. He sat down as well and grabbed a bagel for himself. "If there's a Publisher's Clearinghouse check in there, just remember that you love me and love means sharing."

[throughaphase]

"I could give you a couple bucks," she grinned, moving done of the mail over and picking up one unopened piece that caught her eye. "I could maybe even be your sugar mama."

[so_hawkward]

"Oh, I like the sound of that. You know I can keep you happy," Clint said with a laugh. "In ways poor Lucky shouldn't have to hear about."

[throughaphase]

"I will keep giving you opportunities to remind me when we're not traumatizing him," she said, opening the letter to look at it. "Huh."

[so_hawkward]

"Huh?" Clint repeated, with a mouthful of bagel. "Good huh or bad huh?"

[throughaphase]

"It's a 'huh' huh," she said, showing him the enclosed picture of the green dragon. "That's Lockheed's friend Puff. Looks like someone's trying to reunite the dragons."

[so_hawkward]

"When you say friend, do you mean actual friend or friend?" Clint asked, squinting at the picture. "The dragon looks cute either way."

[throughaphase]

"She is his ladyfriend and I don't ask too many questions," Kitty said. "But yes, totally his friend. I mean, the letter's in Japanese, so I guess that's where she ended up."

You know, the letter saying to bring her dragon and come alone.

[so_hawkward]

"Did the dragon write the letter? Oh, please tell me it's a booty call letter, that might make my whole weekend," Clint said.

[throughaphase]

"My dragon does not get booty call letters," Kitty said, reaching for a bagel. "It just says to bring Lockheed. And to come alone, which is weird."

[so_hawkward]

That got Clint to stop laughing pretty quickly. "Wait, what? Who sent you that letter?"

[throughaphase]

"No return address. So I guess I'm supposed to go to Tokyo and figure it out," Kitty said. "These things have a tendency to find me."

[so_hawkward]

"These things--" Clint repeated, before shaking his head. "You get a letter from no one telling you to go across the globe by yourself and you're just... not weirded out?"

[throughaphase]

"I'm suspicious, but it wouldn't be the strangest thing I've ever done," Kitty said, breaking off a piece of her bagel. "Either it's a friend who for some reason needs to be secretive, or it's some new problem to deal with."

[so_hawkward]

"Okay..." Clint trailed off for a moment and said, "You're not really going to go by yourself, right?"

[throughaphase]

"Of course not. I'll have Lockheed," Kitty teased. "Also I figured you'd be coming along."

[so_hawkward]

Clint looked relieved at that. "Yeah, you figured right. Like I'm gonna let you run off to a foreign country chasing suspicious mail without me."

[throughaphase]

"Exactly. It wouldn't be the same adventuring without you," she told him. "Besides, it might be fun. Maybe everything's fine and we're getting a vacation out of this."

[so_hawkward]

"Mmm, a vacation would be nice. I don't suppose I can convince you to bring the stuff you bought at Dite's?" Hey, he could feign optimism as well as she could!

[throughaphase]

"...I do not want to bring that through customs," Kitty said. "We might have to get more use out of it while we're here for now."

[so_hawkward]

"Oh, well, if you insist," Clint said, shifting closer to Kitty. "Seriously though, do you really think that letter could be something innocent?"

[throughaphase]

"Fifty/fifty shot," she said seriously. "I have friends there, and I can't think of what anyone would want with me and Lockheed, so..."

[so_hawkward]

"All right," Clint said with a sigh. "I guess if you can hope for the best, I can too. I'm just glad you're letting me come with you without a fight."

[throughaphase]

"I'm kind of used to having you there when I go places. And if I ever say I can't take you along, you'll know I really can't," Kitty admitted. "Mostly I'm just spoiled with your company."

[so_hawkward]

Clint smiled and leaned over to give Kitty a kiss. "Just a warning, if you say you can't take me along, I'll probably try anyway. I don't like thinking about you getting into trouble without me."

[throughaphase]

"I know. And I don't like you getting into trouble without me, but jibe use I know it's gonna happen," she explained. "I'd rather do all that stuff together."

[so_hawkward]

"I like together," Clint said. He knew that if--okay, when--he got into trouble again, this might bite him in the ass, but for now, it was a matter of keeping Kitty safe.

[throughaphase]

[What the hell was that, Autocorrect?]

"I love it when you agree with me," Kitty grinned.
