Clean Shot

After last night you spent the entire morning talking Clint's ear off about being open and not holding secrets from each other, you knew it was a bit hypocritical but at the moment you felt justified. He ended up deciding you should do something to distract from everything, and hopefully make you forget he'd even said anything about a cult.

You had driven to Stark towers and this time with a lot more traffic and people along the way, Mika would've been starting up a storm by now had you not left her home. As you stepped out of the car you stretched your arms up high and let out a loud yawn "Are car ride supposed to make you so tired."

Clint stepped out locking the car "Nope, you're just the worst self-proclaimed morning person ever" He chuckled. "I only said that once and it was just so we could have a couple more rounds." You said which made Clint start blushing a little, sometimes it was so easy to get him back and always satisfying too. He walked into the building with haste and you followed behind him, He walked so confidently and something about the way he greeted the staff was the cherry on the top. He stepped into the elevator and waited for you to follow.

"You coming or what?" He says holding his arm out to keep the door open.

You shrug playfully "I don't know, what if I'm not into elevators right now?"

He smirked, "And why wouldn't you be?" You went to respond but he quickly grabbed you and pulled you into the elevator with the doors closing and arms wrapped around you. He kissed you deeply, practically making you breathless, if it weren't for the fact that the elevator had stopped he would've stolen all of your breath.

Steve walked in greeting the both of you, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of your face-hugging but seemed to not want to mention it. The ride up to the next floor was short and quick but filled with little giggles and snickers from you to Clint, and back. The elevator finally stopped and Clint grabbed your hand, he led you to a room that looked to be a shooting range.

"Oh my, are we actually in all the years of us being together- are you going to shoot for me?!"

Clint confidently picked up a spare bow from the walls and a couple of arrows. He was not only in his element but so ready to feed his ego "Not only that but I can teach you too."

Clint walked over to line himself in front of a target, he knocked an arrow, and with his eyes on you, and the bowstring fully drowned he shot. He even added a wink with the "Thwack" of the arrow hitting a clean bullseye, which got you to start Clapping. Clint was always the coolest guy you'd been with, but this certainly put him on an unreachable level now, at least to you. "Do another one!" you said as you cheered him on.

Clint pulled 2 arrows and knocked them both "I'll do you one better," He aimed in what had been the completely wrong direction, and when he fired the arrows bounced and still found their way to the target. He simply smiled "Pretty clean shots huh."

"That's so fucking cool Clint, but now you've gotta show me how you did that." Y/N eagerly said.

"Woah Woah, hold your horses, you should start with the basics." He said as he picked up a lighter bow, he moved it around and inspected it. "Here, try this." Clint handed the bow to Y/N who almost dropped it, Clint chuckled a little before he got a couple of rounds and put them at his side. With his back turned to Y/N he couldn't see him trying to copy the same pose and stance he'd just seen from Clint. "Like this ?" Y/N said struggling a bit to fully draw the bow.

Clint walked up to him and got closer, "Back straight, spread your feet a little more," with each correction followed by a hand adjusting Y/N. He held back a giddy smile, with his ear tingling each time Clint practically spoke into his ear with his warm breath. "Try to pull back further than that, it's a bit tight." He said standing behind Y/N with hands on his side.

He leaned into his ear and whispered, Y/N shot with the arrow flying straight to a bullseye.

"Thwonk"

Y/N turned around on his heel and put his arms onto Clint's shoulders, making sure to not hit him with the bow. He leaned in for a kiss, Clint met him halfway, and as he pulled back to speak Y/N bit his lips. "I was going to tell you you did great but you once again took my breath away."

As they went in for another kiss they were interrupted by the sound of someone clapping. "Very cute, hope this one last longer than Laura," Tony said, holding some files in his hand. Y/N tightened his lips and removed himself from Clint's arms, he didn't say or even look at Tony, he just let his gaze fall to the ground 'Jerk- no total douché' he thought. Balling his hands into a tight fist "What's up to your ass today?" He took both bows and placed them back onto the rack.

Tony rolled his eyes and crossed his arms "Pretty sure the same thing in yours,". Both Y/N and Clint looked at each other with scrunched and confused faces, before they could even respond Tony moved along "Get suited up, we'll need you and take this." Tony held out the file for Clint, he leaned into Y/N "Stay here I'll be quick.". Y/N nodded and left Clint with a kiss on the cheek and a warm smile, Clint walked up to Tony grabbing the files and bumping his shoulder as he walked past him. As he left the room Tony simply stared at Y/N with disdain, Y/N spoke up to break the silence "Is there something on my face...".

Though Y/N stood slightly taller than Tony he still had a presence about him, may that's why he's, even so, averse to looking him in the eyes. "No, I was hoping you'd just spill your end game if I stared you down," He shrugged. "Clint said you had anxiety and shit, guess you're getting better." He walked off humming to himself, as he reached the door he looked back and gestures to Y/N 'I've got my eyes on you.

Y/N looked around the room confused and a little worried "Uhm ok?".
