Senses [Clint/Natasha]

This Mess

Note: I have read that people with hearing aids don't want people to touch their hearing aids without consent, so please pretend that she asks and he nods before it happens. I would change it, but I was trying to keep each one-shot exactly 200 words long.

It was New Year's Eve, and Tony was throwing a huge party at Stark/Avengers Tower. Natasha wondered if it was possible that Tony knew all the people, but she figured he probably didn't. She couldn't ask Tony because he was drunk. It wasn't just Tony though, mainly everyone was drunk. She wasn't sure what to do—she wasn't one to get drunk. She wandered around, but she walked with purpose, as if she had a place to go. She didn't, though, she was just wandering. But she wasn't going to let anyone else know that.

Her eyes scanned the crowds, and stopped on him. Maybe she hadn't been wandering. He smiled when he saw her, and she pushed through the people to get to him.

Soon, it was almost midnight.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" yelled the crowd. People blew into noisemakers, and couples were kissing. Fireworks started going off with bangs, and the sky was illuminated with colorful sparks. Natasha turned toward Clint, and she saw him twitching. She realized it was the noise of the fireworks, ptsd was a monster. She reached up and took out his hearing aids. He relaxed, and they watched the colors explode.
