MHA #10- Thursday afternoon

[throughaphase]

The thing about Kitty staying overnight in Westchester on Wednesdays was that when things like truth day rolled around, she didn't have other people or radio to clue her in that something was up. Sure, she'd gone off on Emma, but that could happen literally any day, Fandom weirdness or not. And okay, maybe she'd been a little talkier than normal, but she hadn't thought anything of it. Of course if she'd run into Peter at all today this would be an entirely different, more embarrassed story.

But it wasn't, and so once Kitty got back to Fandom she sent Clint a text to let him know she was back, and got a little caught up in unpacking and sorting things out since she actually hadn't been back to her apartment in like a week.

[Mwahahaha for one!]

"Nah, I got used to that a long time ago. Though I assume I will be doing most of the dishes, if that helps," Kitty said. "I really can't imagine not wanting to be with you anymore. I don't think that's gonna happen."

[so_hawkward]

"I feel the same way," Clint said quietly, because the island could make him tell the truth, but he didn't have to be loud about it. "So is this a thing we're really going to do?"

[throughaphase]

"I want to. As long as you do, and if you don't I'm gonna pretend it was totally not a big deal." Ugh.

[so_hawkward]

Aww, Kitty was getting a hug for that. "It's a big deal but it's also kind of not a big deal. I mean, you spend enough time at my place anyway. Now it's just a matter of, you know, not leaving." Not leaving the house or him, that is.

"I'm really excited about this," Kitty said, hugging him back. "And you know, we should probably tell each other when we start thinking about the big relationship things. We always seem to worry too much and then turn out to be on the same page."

[so_hawkward]

"But worrying is part of my charm," Clint teased. "And I still don't like to assume you want to be serious about me."

Damn it, he'd been doing well there.

[throughaphase]

"You don't have to assume it. I can see those alternate universe futures happening for us. I'm serious about you," Kitty said. And she was only slightly blushing when she said it!

[so_hawkward]

"We have seen Lexi an awful lot," Clint agreed quietly. "I'm serious about you too. As serious as I can be, which isn't always a lot, but I'm trying."

[throughaphase]

"I know. And I'm not in any kind of rush towards anything. I'm just happy." And consistently happy, which was still kind of new to her.

[so_hawkward]

"I'm happy too. And I'm gonna be a whole hell of a lot happier having you in my bed every night."

In the island's defense, Clint might have admitted that on his own anyway.
