The very next morning, Mercedes woke Clint up with a nice big plate of bacon, eggs, toast, and a side of fruit. She also brought him a big cup of coffee just the way he liked it. When Mercedes had woke him up with the food, his heart filled with happiness.

"Thank you, baby." He said, causing the girl to smile.

"You're welcome." She replied, placing a kiss on his cheek.

Clint watched her walk away and he couldn't stop his eyes from traveling over the curve of her skirt; the curve caused by her plump bottom. She was beautiful in everything and nothing, so seeing her dressed in a casually beautiful outfit made his heart sing.

"What was the breakfast for?" Clint asked, once he had finished eating and brought his plate into the kitchen

"What was the breakfast for?" Clint asked, once he had finished eating and brought his plate into the kitchen.

"So, I did a lot of thinking last night," She began, causing his heart to involuntarily skip a beat,"and I've decided that moving in together would be nice, but we're going to keep it from my father for a little longer." She said, and he nodded.

"You want to move into my place, or you want to live here?" Clint asked, causing the girl to sigh.

"Well, my place is a little bigger, and Dad won't question a  change in address if I don't leave." Mercedes replied, and Clint smiled.

"I'll start packing tomorrow. You, Nat, and I can pack up my things and bring them over here." He said, causing her to nod.

"I'll make us an extra special dinner the next night for your first official dinner here as a couple that live together." She commented, making him smile again.

"Sounds good to me," He replied,"but I'll order pizza tomorrow for the three of us, since we'll be working too hard to want to cook." He added, causing her to smile as well.

"Hey, I know it's a crazy side request, but I want to do something a little extra today. " She blurted out, making Clint look towards her.

"Like what?" Clint asked, raising an eyebrow in question.

"I want to get a tattoo. I found one that I want to get on the side of my calf, and I asked Dad to make sure he wouldn't mind. So, what do you say?" She asked,"Wouls you be okay with me getting a tattoo, or do you want me to pick something else to do?"

"Baby, I'm not going to tell you what you can and can't do to your body," Clint began,"but I would like it if you went without getting a million tattoos. One or two is fine, but over ten is a bit much." He commented, making her nod.

"I can agree to that," She replied,"Let's get moving. The tattoo shop I found should be open in about thirty minutes, and I called yesterday to book the tattoo appointment just incase you agreed." She said, making him chuckle.

Clint quickly went and got dressed, since he knew Mercedes was silently rushing him in her head. Once he was ready, he grabbed the keys to his car, and drove himself and his girl to the tattoo parlor she had chosen. When the two walked in, the artist at the front desk seemed to recognize her immediately.

"You're Mercedes Stark." He said, almost seeming starstruck.

"Yes," She replied, chuckling slightly,"I'm here for a tattoo." She commented, causing the man to grin.

"You're my first client of the morning," He replied,"What were you planning to get?" He asked, and she quickly showed him the picture.

He brought the picture over to a machine to copy it, before he had her go to a station and get ready. He took a few minutes to make a stencil for the tattoo, and once he was ready, he brought the stencil over to tattoo her.

"Hey man," The three heard, causing them to look up at the other artist,"I figured you wouldn't want Ms. Stark to be ambushed in the shop, so I have it closed until you finish her tattoo." He said, and the other artist thanked him.

It took around two hours for the tattoo artist to finish her tattoo, but once he was done, she was allowed to look at it. The moment she seen it in the mirror, a grin made it's way to her face.

"I love it! Thank you!" She exclaimed, giving the man a hug.

She went to the front desk and paid for the tattoo, before she and Clint went back to her place. She and Clint decided to lay in her bed and watch TV for the day, and Moxley joined them soon after.

"The tattoo looks nice on you." Clint commented, making her smile.

"Thank you," She replied,"and thank you for going with me." She added, and he kissed her quickly.

"Anything for you," Clint said,"I love you."

Mercedes' heart skipped a beat hearing those words leave his lips. She knew what she felt for him, but she wasn't sure if he felt the same, so she was scared to say it to him. Now that he said it to her, she knew he felt the same, and that made her heart swell with happiness and pride.

"I should take a picture of the tattoo and send it to Dad." Mercedes commented, and Clint nodded.

"I'll take it for you," He said,"Just lay comfortable, so I can get the whole tattoo in the picture." He added, grabbing her phone from her hand.

He snapped a quick picture of the tattoo, before handing Mercedes her phone back. She quickly sent the picture to her father, once she made sure there wasn't a way her father or Pepper could tell she had her boyfriend there. They didn't need to know about him at all, at least, not yet. She hoped to tell them soon, but for now, she was simply sending them a picture of the tattoo in hopes that it'll slowly show that she was getting older and needed to do more her way...
