"Ms Romanoff, nice to meet you in this setting again." Director Fury greeted, looking over Clint and Natasha who were seated opposite him.
Natasha nodded with a small smile.
"I asked for you today to propose something-" Fury continued, but was cut off by Clint.
"Woah wait Fury, I respect you as my boss but I won't stand for you making advances on my girl." Clint said firmly.
Fury rolled his eye in annoyance.
"Agent Barton, I don't know what the hell you're implying but I just wanted to propose Ms Romanoff's enlistment!" Fury barked.
Clint shrunk into his seat, face red with embarrassment while Natasha tried to stifle her laugh.
"So Ms Romanoff, how would you like to work for S.H.I.E.L.D? We believe your expertise in psychology will add value to our agency." Fury continued, throwing a side glance at Clint.
"I-I'm just a student..." Natasha began nervously.
"Yes, but I see potential." Fury encouraged.
Clint cleared his throat, he understood Natasha's worries.
"Director, can Natasha be my partner? That way she won't feel so afraid and I can guide her along too." Clint suggested.
"Very well, I was about to arrange that anyway." Fury clasped his hands on the table top, "Ms Romanoff, your decision?"
All eyes were on Natasha.
A moment later, Natasha nodded.
Clint exploded in joy and kissed her on the cheek. Even Fury smiled, professionally of course.
He then explained that Coulson will make arrangements for Natasha and dismissed them.
After Clint had pulled Natasha out of his office, Fury shook his head and chuckled, he found Clint being so protective over Natasha amusing yet heartening. He decided he would need to use the word 'propose' when around Clint with caution from now on.
---------------------------------------------
Clint led Natasha towards his room, excitement spilling from him like a fountain.
"This is great, Sweetheart! We'll see each other everyday and work together!" Clint stopped them along the hallway and cradled Natasha's face in his hands.
Natasha giggled at Clint's childish behavior and placed her hands over his.
"I agree that this is great, Clint, but my parents won't allow me to stay here, and with the location lockdown, I'm sure they'll freak out and think I died or something." She produced a pout.
Clint laughed and shook his head.
"I'm sure there is room for discussion about this. We'll talk to Coulson and he can help us persuade Fury." Clint smoothened Natasha's hair with a hand.
"Okay."
Clint's hand snaked down Natasha's arm to interlock with her fingers and the pair continued down the hallway to his room.
That was where they met with Bobbi, who had heard the news about Natasha's enlistment.
"Hey Natasha, I'm happy to hear about your enlistment as a S.H.I.E.L.D agent." Bobbi began with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Maybe you can partner with me and I can help you familiarize with the environment here." She offered, clearly jumping at any opportunity to separate Clint and Natasha.
"Thanks Bobbi, but I don't think that's necessary, Fury has assigned Natasha to be my partner." Clint replied on behalf of Natasha.
"But I think I'm more suited to help her settle down here, we're both girls so I can understand her better." Bobbi continued.
By this point, Clint was getting a little annoyed.
"I'm her boyfriend, who do you think understands her better?"
Bobbi was at a loss for words.
Sensing the escalating tension, Natasha spoke up.
"Erm, thank you for your offer Bobbi, I think you'll make a great partner, but I guess it's better to follow Director Fury's orders. I promise to come to you if I need any help." Natasha tried sounding as polite as possible.
Bobbi let out a grunt then turned on her heel and left.
After Bobbi had disappeared round the corner, Natasha turned to Clint and gave him the forget-it-cheer-up look.
Clint broke into a smile and pecked her on her lips.
---------------------------------------------
That night, in order to make Natasha feel at home, Clint and Coulson (he was forced) decided to hold a mini welcome party for her.
While Natasha was socializing with some female agents at the lounge, Clint had made some preparations.
At 6 o'clock, he brought Natasha to his room. He slotted his ID card into the reader by the door and the door slid open.
Natasha was greeted by the sound of a party blower sticking out of Coulson's mouth. Coulson looked a tad bit uncomfortable in the party hat strapped to his head.
Natasha burst out in a giggle but quickly concealed it with a hand over her mouth.
"Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D, Natasha!" Coulson exclaimed, taking the party blower from his mouth.
"Well, how do you like your mini welcome party, Sweetheart?" Clint asked while ushering Natasha into the room and having the door slide shut behind them.
"It was a surprise. I like it, thank you." Natasha grinned.
"I swear Clint is just trying to get back at me for scheduling him 3 training sessions in a row last week." Coulson said with a chuckle while removing his party hat.
Natasha shot Clint a look of disapproval.
"What, no, I was just trying to include you in the celebration and give you some time off from work, sorry for being thoughtful and nice." Clint said sarcastically.
There was a moment of silence, then they all burst out in laughter.
As the night grew on, the trio talked and laughed over some snacks and drinks. Natasha was beginning to feel the fatherly love and care that Clint had received from Coulson, and she liked it.
