Salem Center, NY- Wednesday late afternoon

[throughaphase]

Clint had come with Kitty to Xavier's this week, and she was completely glad for that. Not only did she think it might do the kids some good to see that not all normal people hated them, but she missed him when she was here alone overnight every week. The first couple weeks she'd wondered if she was being all codependent about it, but then figured after two years that was instead probably the sign of a good relationship.

And since she had Clint here today, it meant that when Kitty was done with work stuff, they got to head to Salem Center for her second costume excursion of the week, this time for him. "So we're looking for sleeveless..." Kitty only half-teased.

[For the boy!]

"You said arms. You didn't say anything about my backside," Clint said as he peeked out of the dressing room. "You won't send anyone the pictures you're totally not going to take, right?"

[throughaphase]

"Only if they pick up my phone and see my inevitable new lock screen," Kitty said.

For some reason this trip was putting her in a great mood, who knew!

[so_hawkward]

"I don't know if this is lock screen material," Clint said, tugging a little on the vest as he came out. The costume was tight all over, but definitely not in a bad way, except as far as Clint was concerned.

Kitty stared for a moment, then totally took the picture when she reminded herself to do so.

"Okay," she said finally, "our chances of getting arrested here just went way up."

[so_hawkward]

"Why?" Clint asked, before really taking in the look Kitty was giving him. "Oh, I see. Do you think my Avengers ID would work as a get out of jail card? I think it might."

[throughaphase]

"Literally no jail can hold me. And by proxy, you," she pointed out.

[so_hawkward]

"That's even better, although being a fugitive might make being at Xavier's more difficult," Clint said, getting closer to Kitty. "So, you like this one, I assume?"

[throughaphase]

"...Possibly not much more difficult." Wolverine killed soooo many people. "This is my Viking costume."

[so_hawkward]

"Oh, so this is just for you and me. I wonder if this thing comes with handcuffs," Clint said idly.

[throughaphase]

"Yes, this is definitely for you and me." Unless he wanted to spend Halloween with her attached to him all night, anyway. "Though I hear the costume handcuffs don't really hold up..."

The things you learn from dominatrices.

[so_hawkward]

"Oh you've heard that? As in, that's a conversation you've had?" Clint asked, grinning. "I like the sound of that."

[throughaphase]

"It maybe came up on my previous shopping trip," Kitty said, stepping closer. "And I maybe took it to heart."

[so_hawkward]

Clint stood up a little straighter, trying to hide any kind of effect that Kitty getting closer was having on him. "Well, I would hate for that kind of research to go to waste. And you deserve the best," he said, "so that means having the real thing."

[throughaphase]

"Even when it comes to handcuffs," she laughed, sliding her arms around his waist because she could.

[so_hawkward]

"Even when it comes to handcuffs. It makes up for using them with me," Clint said, slipping his arms around Kitty in return.

[throughaphase]

"I already have the best in you." Awwww.
