~Clint's POV~
The doors to the elevator close behind you. As you lean against the back wall you contemplate your next move.
*What am I doing?* You say out loud.
Pulling your phone out of your pocket you dial Natasha's number. It rings twice and she picks up.
*Hey hey! How's the moving going?* Her cheery voice perks your spirits a little, but noting more than a bandaid.
*Hey I need to talk to you. Are you at the tower?* Trying not to grind your teeth in frustration you breath out a long sigh.
*Not yet, but I can be there in about an hour. Is everything ok?* You can hear the concern in her voice, but you would hate to have her drop everything just for you.
*No, no, yeah...I guess.* You sigh again.
*Clint, you know I can tell when you're lying to me. What's going on?* Now more stern and demanding she pushes for answers.
*Seriously Nat, I'm ok, just let me know when you get back please.* You reach over to press the button for the top floor.
*Hmm, fine, but your ass is grass if I find out your hiding something from me.* She hangs up the phone and you shove yours into your pocket waiting for the elevator to stop.
*I don't know what to do now....* You hang your head, trying to clear your thoughts.
~Y/N POV~
You have had enough of the treading water and your legs are starting to burn.
*Can we change this up? Any more and I'm not gonna be able to walk later.* Turning around in the water to face Dean you give him the pleading face of utter exhaustion.
*Ok, ok, ok....but we have plans later so don't get yourself too tuckered out this afternoon. Twice a day...Dr's orders. I'm sure that you have gotten tired of seeing me as it is.* He chuckles while helping you to the edge of the pool.
*So what is on the agenda for later?* You ask while cocking your head to let the water out of your ears.
*We are gonna do some light running. Get your cardio back up.* Dean hops out of the pool next to you shaking violently like a dog. Whipping water all over you.
*Hey!* You scream at the cold water hitting you and take him out at the knees with your arm. Forcing him to fall back into the pool.
*I'm not sure I deserved that.* He jumps out of the water sitting on the edge with you.
*Yeah, yeah....suuurreeee!* You playfully punch him in the arm.
Laying your head on his shoulder, you close your eyes for a second, just trying to focus. *Thanks Dean.* You whisper to him
*Hmm? What for?* Turning his head down to look at you.
*Being patient with me. And wanting to be playful. Not always stern and work. It's a nice breath of fresh air.* You take in a huge breath and breath out your nose.
*It's not a problem, Y/N, I enjoy your company.* He reaches over to place a loose piece of hair behind your ear.
-BUZZZZZ-BUZZZZZ-
*I better check that. It could be work.* You stand up and walk over to the pile of your clothes and grab your phone. Turning it over you see the picture of you and Natasha that you took the day she took you to Ellis Island. Knowing this was probably nothing good seeing as you were still on restricted duty till your Dr released you. You answered it holding it up to your ear.
