25 Unicorn Street- Sunday after the finale

[throughaphase]

Once things were settling down, Kitty got Clint away from the carnival, because she didn't want to be there anymore and was pretty sure he wanted to be there even less. So they went back to his place, where he could probably look forward to her attaching herself to him like a cuddly lamprey.

First things first, though. Once they got inside, she asked, "Are you hungry? We could order pizza, if that isn't taunting Lucky."

[For the lamprey victim.]

"Oh come on, how was I supposed to look? I already had a thing for you and then you were just there all barely dressed and I'm not a superhuman," Clint said.

"All the important parts were covered. I'm pretty sure I had an actual shirt that day, too," Kitty laughed. Given her clothes back then there was about a 25% chance she had been showing sideboob, though. "Most people didn't look twice at what I looked like. I'm just glad you did. And that you already had a thing for me."

"Those people were dumb. Or blind. Or possibly both," Clint said, wrapping his arms tightly around Kitty. "But hey, I got you so I win."

See? See, she was counting that as a hug. Her cuddle plans totally worked. "Yeah, you did. But I think I won too so we could say it's a tie."

This was totally just cuddling as far as Clint was concerned, but it still felt nice, considering the alternatives. "I'll accept a tie," he said, nuzzling a little at her neck. "You want to stick around for a while, right? Tonight, I mean?" Because that was all on her and totally not on him wanting her to stick around.

"Uh huh. Especially if you keep doing that," she told him. She needed to cling some. "All things considered, you might have a tough time getting rid of me for a while."

And there, he could keep her around for as long as he needed her.
