The night started well... you know, beer brings everyone together

I was sitting between Wanda and Adam. While Barnes sat between Sharon and Sam...We were practically on opposite sides of the table

I tried not to look at him, but I kept thinking about his words
'I act with you like with any other person in this place that I don't care about...'

I was nothing to him...he doesn't care about me...Why did I care about him then?

"Who wants to play darts?" Kate asked, pointing to the game board on the wall

"Yes, of course, because it's an even challenge to play against the little Hawkeye," said Sam

"I didn't say that whoever played would win...what are you afraid of?" she replied

"I'll play" I said taking a last sip of beer

"Thanks Ame...At least someone at this table with balls" she told me

"Ehi ehi" "wow" "offensive" "excuse me?!"
all the men replied

we got up and started playing

she was never missing in the center... although I wasn't that bad too

"You're pretty good considering you're not a hawk eye," she commented

I chuckled
"well thanks...you know i'm used to being accurate with a gun, these...not exactly my type"

she giggled

"How did you start with it?...I mean with a bow and arrow, not with a game of darts"

he looked at me "in 2012 I lived with my parents in a skyscraper downtown, near the Stark Tower...During the attack of the chitauri our building was shattered, and then I saw Clint saving people...He who was just an ordinary man...not a supersoldier...not in armor...not a specialized Russian spy...not a huge man with green muscles...not a god...an ordinary man, with only a bow and arrows that he risked his life so... from that day I started practicing archery, and twelve years later..."

"Here you are...how do you feel about it?"
"Decidedly good"

I turned towards the table for a few seconds

They were all chatting...
Adam turned to look at me and gave me a smile... I quickly looked at Barnes who was hitting on Sharon

Why, why was he doing this to me?

that very bitchy bitch Queen of all bitches

Adam looked at me confused, I returned his gaze giving him a smile...

I looked up and shot a dart at the board furiously, hitting the bull's-eye in the center

"Everything ok...Did that board do something bad to you? Because it looked like you were going to kill it" commented Kate

"yes, just personal problems... can I ask you a question?"

"sure"
"Do you think it's normal to get attached to a person even if he's an asshole, obnoxious, hateful, cold, annoying?"

"it depends on the kind of affection you feel... You can't command the heart... From the tone in which you say it, I understand that he is not just a friend"

"He's not even that to me...We are just two people existing on this earth at the same time...He doesn't care about me"

"What do u mean?"
"He said it to me..."

"I guess, even if it is obvious, that we are not talking about Adam"
"It's just that he's so arrogant, cocky, stubborn fucking emotionally detached...it drives me crazy"
