Clint stared at the cursive writing on the letter, praying that this was a nightmare.

Realization and regret started to fill Clint's head slowly as he sank down on the couch, putting his head in between his hands.

You are hereby formally invited to the wedding of
~•~
Y/N L/N and William Andrews

Clint swallowed and crawled under the cover of his blanket, thinking about his ex.

Y/N.

He broke up with her because of his job. Working for shield. He decided it for the best and not a single day passes when he regrets what he'd done.

It's been 4 years.

And Clint is still not over it.

Part of him wants to run back to her loving embrace and part of him just wants to move on.

He tried.

But he can't. It's not like he can control his feelings. A power Clint wished he had.

The phone ringed, cutting off his thought.

He picked it up, "Hello?"

"Hey! It's Y/N, I was wondering why haven't you answered my last 3,000 calls."

Clint almost wanted to hang up on her, "I've been busy, you know how shield is." He lied.

"Guess I haven't thought about that, hmn... So." Her voice perked up, "Are you coming?"

"W-what?"

"To my wedding bird brain." Y/N teased.

"No, I got a mission.... In France, I'm afraid I can't make it." Clint lied again.

"Oh... That's too bad, I was really hoping." Y/N said, slightly disappointed.

His heart felt heavy in his chest, "I'll see if I can do something."

Clint could almost see her eyes lighting back up, "Great! Call me when you know, I'll be waiting."

If only she waited for him longer. Until he realized what a stupid mistake he made.

"Yeah, ok."

And Clint hanged up.
