The Spider And The Hawk - Reader x Clint Barton

Fairytales

*10 years later*

Small note: This takes place post-blip, Yelena was with the avengers during the time heist and jumped on vormir, Steve stayed so he could walk Bucky down the aisle, Tony died though.

Clint POV

I sit in the kitchen watching the frozen pizza heat up in the oven. My daughter has her friends over and I have no idea how to talk with them. It's been 8 years and I haven't talked to many people. Only Nat, Steve, Bucky, And Sam. Why haven't I moved on? Why can't I move on? "You still miss mom?" Natalia sits next to me. "I said all that out loud didn't I?" I look over, she was only 4, she's so much older now. "Shouldn't you be with your friends?" I ask her. "They're setting up a game. Can you tell me more about mom?" She looks so much like her mother. She deserves to know. "Your mother was a beautiful young woman. She is the reason your Aunt Nat and Uncle Steve are together. She also helped your Uncle Sam and Bucky get together. She was broken. And she was never fixed completely. But she got better. Her smile became genuine and her laugh was the most amazing sound I've ever heard." She hugs me tightly. "You look exactly like her, and you have her laugh." Natalia stands up. "Thanks, Dad." I pull the pizza out and hand it to her. "Go to your friends, your aunts and uncles are coming." She runs off her y/h/c hair with black tips flowing behind her. I sit back down and look out the window at her and her friends. Natasha, Sam, Bucky, and Steve enter the kitchen. I wipe my tears and turn to them. "Hey, guys." I go to the fridge, "What do you guys want?" I pull out a coke and open it. "Clint, It's been 10 years," Sam speaks up, "I know," I respond "I just can't find another." I close my eyes. "Try again!" Bucky urges. "I have," I respond voice low. This is the first time they've done this. "You deserve a happily ever after!" Natasha raises her voice. "IF 'HAPPY EVER AFTER' DID EXIST I WOULD STILL BE HOLDING HER LIKE THIS! ALL THOSE FAIRYTALES ARE FULL OF SHIT! ONE MORE FUCKING LOVE SONG I'LL BE SICK!" I look down at my hand, the coke can is crushed. "Why don't you guys go check on the kids." Wanda pushes them out. She sits next to me. "If you're going to try and convince me that I still have a chance leave now." I pop upon another soda can. "I'm not. I know you don't. I don't either." She looks down at her feet. "I had to watch Vis die 4 times." I look at her, tears in my eyes. "You know how I feel," I mumble. "I've been trying my best to raise Natalia but she should've been here." I look outside. She's currently tackling Sabinus while trying to get on his back. "Y'know, I had 2 kids in Westview." I look at her with pure shock. "Billy and Tommy." She cries a little. I hug her. " We'll get through this, together," I whisper. "I can help with Natalia anytime you need." She looks out the window. Sabinus is holding her like a fireman while Gwen is on Lavinia's shoulders. Meanwhile, Pollux and Letha are laughing their asses off while Sam and Nat are taking pictures. Bucky and Steve are distracted by the pizza. I chuckle and go outside. I don't think I'll find love again, but I have my daughter and friends to make up for that. I love you Y/n, I hope you're seeing this.
