25 Unicorn Street- Saturday

While Clint was in his office, Kitty was entertaining Barney at the house. Which she was totally fine with, since they got along and it always gave them an opportunity to talk about Clint stuff. There was no bad there.

"So how are things in New York?" she asked, taking a seat on the couch.

[For anyone named Barton!]

"Wow," Barney said, genuinely surprised. "Okay, you're serious, I believe you. It still just seems weird, I guess. Never thought either of us would actually get married."

"Life throws some curveballs," Kitty said with a little smile. "I'm kinda betting it's going to take some getting used to even after we go through with it. Did you never even want to?"

"See, that's the tricky thing about getting married. It involves two people," Barney said with a smirk. "The only person who's ever been willing to put up with me for a long period of time is Clint."

"That just means you haven't found the right person. Not to be cliche about it," Kitty told him. Even if she was totally cliche about it. "I mean, it worked for your brother."

Barney laughed and shook his head. "I'm pretty sure that ship has sailed. I would have said the same thing about Clint, but then you came along and... neither of us were expecting you, I think."
throughaphase: (good with this)

"I get that a lot," Kitty smiled, and shrugged. "Clint and I are something where neither of us was looking for it but everything clicked. And then kept clicking. I'm still surprised sometimes."

"Just remember, if you ever want out, I know two dozen places to hide you," Barney said, at least halfway teasing.
throughaphase: (about to speak)

"And this is why you're an awesome future brother-in-law," Kitty said, partly to see if that would freak him out.

It's definitely weird to consider, but it's not a bad weird since Kitty is, well, pretty damn awesome herself. "I'll try," he said, hoping that was enough. "That reminds me, are you planning on changing your name, or leaving it? Or making Clint take yours?" he asked with a laugh.
throughaphase: (lounging)

"I don't really see him going for that," she laughed. "I'm kind of leaning towards hyphenating. I was going to leave it, but I want to have the same name as our kids." Which was a weird thing to be talking about with someone who wasn't Clint.

Sorry Kitty, but it was just weird in general. "You're not seriously considering bring a child into the world with Barton genes?" he asked. "You didn't see what Clint was like as a kid. You might end up with the most sarcastic child alive."
throughaphase: (okay with this)

Actually she had seen Clint as a kid, but since she didn't always know what Barney had been told about this place she'd let it slide. "It'd probably be karmic payback for being super mouthy myself. It might lead to some interesting parent-teacher meetings."
