  It was a normal and quiet day in Gnarly Woods, it was kinda cold and cloudy but the things are not well for Clint. He woke up two times that night, breathing heavily waking to the same nightmare of the fire consuming him and shots being fired. He sat in his bed and changed to go outside with the same grey hoodie and a green scarf. He got out and walked lost on his thoughts.

Camille was in class, math to be precise, she was lost on her mind trying to focus on the class yet her mind was on Clint and the kiss they shared 'It was only a three second kiss, plus he doesn't like me right? it was just an accident'. She was surprised when the class ended. Walking out she decided not to wait for Alfred and Milo knowing that they would either get out late of they were already gone. She just wandered by the woods thinking when suddenly she bumped into someone.

" Oh sorry i didn't knew were i was going are y-" she stopped mid sentence.

" C-Camille?" Clint said confused.

" H-Hey C H-How have you been?" she stuttered blushing.

" Well fine how about you?" He answered shyly.

" Good." She said.

" So I wanted to talk to you about Christmas and... Well" He started a little bit embarrassed but was interrupted by Camille telling him that she preferred to talk somewhere more private and started to walk to HQ. When they arrived Camille closed the door and Clint sat in the hammock.

" So what you were saying?" she said sitting besides Clint.

" I wanted to talk about the kiss" Camille turned red to his words.
'
" Look Camille I know you love someone *sigh* and i feel bad for kissing you and i think we should be just-"

" Its you..." both staid silent for a minute after Camille left this words. Clint face heated up.

" Camille I-"

" I know Clint. You only see me as a friend but I needed t get this of my chest, I...I-I love you since the first time i saw you and i tried to get this feelings erased but i just-"

She was interrupted by Clint grabbing her waist and in one movement he kissed her softly for a minute until the need for air became evident and they pulled apart.

" I love you too..." Clint said out of breath locked on Camille's eyes, Both stayed silent staring at each other and eventually kissed again but in this second contact they heard someone running away.

" What was that!?" Camille said startled

" Hey maybe it was noting. Maybe just a rock that fell from above". Said Clint with a reassuring smile.

" Yeah maybe you're right. Hey... you busy tonight? Because maybe we could go out for dinner" She said calming down.

" Sure i can"

" Nice... I have to go now see you tonight" She kissed him in the cheek and left HQ.

Clint leaved also walking happy.
