Senses [Clint/Natasha]

Budapest was

Budapest was not a scandalous romantic adventure. Budapest was a lot less exciting than people thought.

Budapest was the two of them surrounded by chaos and enemies. Budapest was them being teammates for the first time. Budapest was the start of a connection between them. Budapest was them having each other's backs. Budapest was them pushing past the odds, and winning. 

Budapest was afterwards. Budapest was sitting in a shitty diner eating fatty cheese fries. Budapest was cheese fries "taking years off my life" and the way he grinned in response. Budapest was cuts and bruises and fun. 

Budapest was growing trust. Budapest was "I'd never ask for another partner". Budapest was "I'd never leave you". Budapest was "Of course you wouldn't, I'm amazing". Budapest was forced sarcasm to cover how deep he was. Budapest was her being unsure of her future, but knowing it involved him.

Budapest was staring at the sunset. Budapest was sneaking glances at the other. Budapest was being happy, for once. Budapest was staring at the sky, and not looking at all. Budapest was looking at the sunset, and thinking he was the light. Budapest was being amazed by her, instead of the glorious colors.
