I'll stay with you (Clintasha)✔️

♥︎❁7❁♥︎ We work our way

"What happened to your knee?" Maria asked with concern as Natasha hobbled out of class to her locker, her knee sporting a giant bandage.

"I fell down on the way back from the ice-cream parlour yesterday. Clint had to piggyback me all the way back to school."

"Aw, that's sweet." Pepper popped up next to them. She seemed to be really sensitive to everything romantic.

"Fall down and get Tony to carry you." Maria joked.

"He said I was too heavy." Pepper bit her lip while Maria and Natasha tried to stifle a laugh.

Then they spotted Laura, Clint and Bruce heading towards them. Laura and Clint seemed to be chatting happily.

But Clint quickened his footsteps once he saw Natasha and swiftly had an arm around her waist.

"How's your knee, Sweetheart?" He asked, looking down to check on her leg.

"It's better now that you asked." Natasha grinned and Clint planted a kiss on her forehead.

Laura stayed silent by the side but her eyes watched carefully. She hadn't exactly gotten over Clint although it was clear that Natasha was the one he loved.

The gang headed for a bite before dispersing for their after-school activities.

"I'll come get you after your rehearsal." Clint said and Natasha nodded before their hands parted.

---------------------------------------------

"Natasha you look beautiful in that gown!" Pepper squealed. Natasha was dressed in a gorgeous flouncy pink gown with fancy lace and pearls sewn intricately. The dress had sleeves made of organza satin that hung loosely off her shoulders. It complemented Natasha's figure really well.

"Thank you. You look great in your fairy costume too, Pepper!" Natasha replied, as Pepper held on to her hand and swung it from side to side.

The costumes had been completed so they were all trying them out to see if any alterations need to be made.

Then Bucky approached, tugging a little uncomfortably at the collar of his costume and seemed a little shy. Dressed in a blue top with red balloon sleeves, matching blue pants, a cape and black boots, he looked like royalty - exactly like a prince.

"You look great, Bucky." Natasha smiled, causing him to blush a little.

"I now know why Darcy always calls you 'Red Cheeks'" Pepper giggled.

He smiled in response and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Both of you look amazing too." Bucky complimented, although his eyes were always only on Natasha.

The session was over and Natasha, holding on to Bucky's arm to support herself, exited the auditorium all smiley and happy.

Clint stood with arms crossed, leaning against the wall. When he saw Natasha and Bucky, he pushed off the wall and headed towards them.

He took over Bucky's role in supporting Natasha by offering his arm. The two guys stared at each other for a while before offering each other a small smile and nodding their goodbyes. Natasha looked between the two of them then followed Clint away.

Natasha and Clint headed back to Clint's dorm.

"I was thinking, I've stopped work for quite a while now, I think I'll start finding another job."

"But we'll be seeing less of each other if you go to work." Natasha looked down a little sadly, a frown crept across her beautiful features. Clint lifted her chin with a hand and gently caressed it.

"I know. But my savings don't last forever, I've got to earn my keep."

Then Natasha suddenly had a bright idea. Her eyes glowed with radiance.

"I'll go to work with you!"

Clint stared at her for a moment, before speaking in a softened tone, "I can't let you go to work. It's gonna be tiring."

"Not if we're together." Natasha smiled sweetly, tugging on his hands and looked at him pleadingly to give her permission.

Clint ran his fingers through her hair and thought for a while.

"Okay."

"Yes!" And Natasha pounced onto him, wrapping her arms round his neck and hugging him tightly.

Clint chuckled, stroking her hair.

When they pulled away, he scooped her up and lay her on the bed, then proceeded to kiss her.

A moment later, Clint had his shirt on the floor and Natasha was only in a tank top and shorts. With their noses and foreheads touching, they grinned at each other, and Clint rolled off of Natasha, keeping her in his arms.

"We'll go look for a job tomorrow." He said, nuzzling her neck, and she nodded. They fell asleep soon after.

---------------------------------------------

It was a week later and Clint and Natasha had found a job at a small pizza place in a coffee shop.

Dressed in the blue pizza place uniform, they headed to work after school.

The pizza chef that had trained them was on leave today so they were left to themselves in the kitchen. Luckily, the pizza place wasn't as busy on weekday evenings so work wasn't so stressful. There were only about four customers at any one time. It was amazing how the pizza place hadn't closed down yet.

Natasha was rolling the dough for the pizza crust while Clint chopped up the tomatoes.

Unknowingly, Natasha had rubbed off some flour on her cheek, and when Clint noticed, he started laughing.

It was then that Natasha realized about the flour on her face so she scooped some flour and smeared it on Clint's nose and cheeks. She giggled and he narrowed his eyes at her playfully with a smirk on his face, ready to wage a flour war.

The kitchen turned into a battleground, with Clint and Natasha sprinkling flour on each other as they ran around the metal table.

Rolls of laughter erupted from the kitchen, when they suddenly heard footsteps approaching the kitchen.

As fast as lighting, they cleaned themselves up and straightened their aprons as the manager walked in with a suspicious look on his face.

They both tried hard to subdue the smiles and laughter threatening to escape their mouths as they resumed their diligent work.

As soon as the manager left the kitchen, they broke out into hushed laughter and Clint spotted a dash of flour on Natasha's nose that she had forgotten to clean. He wiped it off with the back of his hand and planted a kiss in its place. They hoped the manager didn't notice the extra flour sprinkled all over the floor and those in their hair.

Day after day, work was just as fun, and Clint would always proudly proclaim whenever they almost get caught by the manager, "Well, even if he doesn't like it, we work our way!"
