Ching Tai- Wednesday evening

[throughaphase]

With both of their birthdays this week, Clint and Kitty had figured it was easier to do one combined thing in the middle of it rather than plan two things five days apart. Of course Kitty had still seen him on his birthday anyway but that wasn't the point. The point was that was low-key. Not that dinner was high-key or anything, but it did involve Kitty wearing an actual skirt instead of jeans or a shirt that was missing a back, so that was something.

As they finished ordering, Kitty frowned a little and asked, "Is it jinxing myself to say this is already better than other birthdays in recent history?"


[For the belated birthday boy!]

Clint assumed the same thing, and his eyes got a little wide at the thought. "Just to warn you, it's been a really long time since I've had a girlfriend on Valentine's Day." He didn't think random hookups cashing in on desperation counted. "You might need to give me hints for what you want."

"I'm good with a date. It's been a long time since I've had a boyfriend on Valentine's Day," Kitty said honestly. "We can both just ease on back into this."

"Have I mentioned recently how awesome you are? Because you are so very awesome," Clint said, grinning at her.

[throughaphase]

"You might have mentioned it," Kitty laughed. "You know, once or twice, just tonight."

"I'll have to throw it in a little more often, just so you don't forget it," Clint promised.

"You are going to inflate my ego," she warned.

Because her ego was naturally so miniscule.

"I think that's a boyfriendly duty. I swear I remembering reading that somewhere." What with all the reading he did and such.

"I wish to subscribe to this something you read," Kitty decided. "Maybe it'd tell me what other fun stuff I"m in for."

"Hmm, let's see," Clint said, pretending to list things off on his fingers. "Inflating your ego, good sex, actually listening when you talk, occasionally dressing up when you want me to, and there might have been something about purse-holding but that hasn't been an issue."

[throughaphase]

"Oh my god. You would actually hold my purse? How were you single when I got to you?"

She was teasing now, but she honestly did wonder that a lot.

"Well, it would depend on where we were, and how many people would see me holding it. And I was kind of busy before I came here," Clint said, shifting in his seat. "Not a lot of time for seeing women more than once or twice."

"Lucky for me," Kitty said, and meant it.
