Movie Sign Theater 3000- Thursday evening

[throughaphase]

It'd be pretty sad to say that Kitty thought she deserved a pat on the back for managing to wait like 48 hours for date #2 with Clint. So she wouldn't say it, but if anyone wanted to pat her on the back anyway, the line started right over here.

While there were probably wiser choices than sitting in a dark theater watching what would probably amount to an awful movie, they weren't as fun. So with plenty of time before the show started and any needed concessions gotten, the most important question was asked when they got into the actual theater: "Where should we sit?"

She was going to take a wild guess here that they weren't going anywhere near the front.


[For he who gets to pick the seats!]

Comments

[so_hawkward]

"Kind of?" Clint said. "I mean, we're all here, technically, but some people are from different versions of our world, so it's weird. We did all manage to come together to save Tony's dumb ass though, so that might count."

[throughaphase]

She considered that, and said, "I think it does."

Kitty brought her hand up to kiss the top of his hand before settling back on his knee. "Then give yourself more credit. And remember the really, really stubborn thing."

[so_hawkward]

Clint grinned and gave her hand a soft squeeze. "I have a feeling you're not going to let me forget the stubborn thing. Not that I mind."

[throughaphase]

Kitty had to laugh at that. "Good, because otherwise we might have a problem there."

[so_hawkward]

It was awfully nice to be around someone who thought he deserved more credit than he could give himself. There were all kinds of smart comments Clint could make, but none of them seemed like a better idea than just leaning over and giving Kitty a quick kiss.

[throughaphase]

That was unexpected, and quick kiss or not, she was going to lean in a little closer than she had been. "Is that what being stubborn gets me? I'll take it."

[so_hawkward]

"It's what liking me gets you," Clint said with a laugh. "Being stubborn gets you me liking you back."

[throughaphase]

"Oh, is that it?" Kitty said. "And here I thought it was the pants that got you liking me back..."

[so_hawkward]

"Oh, trust me, the pants helped," Clint said quickly, because he wanted to make it clear how much he liked them. "But I liked you even before that. The pants just made it all harder to ignore."

[throughaphase]

Kitty nodded a little, admitting, "I think I could have gotten away with saying you were just a friend for a little while longer if you hadn't kept being shirtless everywhere."

Like she hadn't gone to the gym more because of it.

[so_hawkward]

Clint made a mental note to keep his shirt off at the gym a little more often. "Hey, I just didn't want to get all of my clothes wet," he said innocently. "I had no ulterior motives, I swear."

[throughaphase]

"Ulterior motives or not, it got me thinking anyway," Kitty told him. "Which I know at least I'm glad for..."

[so_hawkward]

"I'm glad too," Clint said, giving her hand another squeeze. "I have to admit, I think I started really thinking about you after all that stuff with the witch was over. I know you knew you were never in danger when you got between me and the kids, but it was still brave."

[throughaphase]

It so figured that doing the exact sort of stuff she'd tried to give up doing would be what caught a guy's attention. "I was just doing what I thought I had to," Kitty pointed out.

[so_hawkward]

"Maybe, but not everyone would have done it," Clint replied. "Or even tried to help rescue everyone in the first place. You should give yourself more credit."

Was that a little snarky? It might have come out that way.

[throughaphase]

"What can I say, I don't deal well with oppression. And don't think I didn't see what you did there," she said, bumping his shoulder with hers.

[so_hawkward]

"I don't know what you're talking about, I am being entirely well-behaved," Clint insisted. "Which might be a rare occurance, as a warning."

[throughaphase]

"If you're well-behaved all the time, you're probably not having any fun," Kitty reasoned. "And this is coming from one of those responsible people." Mostly.

[so_hawkward]

"You are way too young to be boring and responsible," Clint said. "That just shouldn't be allowed."

[throughaphase]

"Hey, I didn't say anything about boring," Kitty pointed out. "I can make sure my employees get paid and occasionally do something life-threatening. It all balances it."

[so_hawkward]

"Can I say that's impressive, or are you going to deny it?" Clint asked.

[throughaphase]

"Going to deny it but you can say it anyway," she replied.

[so_hawkward]

"You are very impressive," Clint said emphatically, bringing her hand up to kiss it.

[throughaphase]

"Well, okay, when you put it that way," she grinned. She'd never exactly had confidence issues, but hearing that did boost it quite a bit.

[so_hawkward]

"I'm very good at reading people, so you should trust my opinion," Clint said with a nod, like he wasn't to be argued with.
