Marvel Highschool AU (Clint's POV)

Chapter 3: Party at Tony's

Steve took me back to his house and we got there around 2:45. He had rather small house, and it was smaller on the inside. When he showed me around, I realized there was only one bedroom. Then I remembered that Steve was orphaned. "I am the world's worst friend' I thought to myself. Steve led me to a door which had a staircase behind it, I followed him down the stairs and into the basement. In the basement, there were a couple of Captian America posters, along with a very large TV, curtosy of Tony, with an PS4 attached to it.

"Down here is where I spend most of my time, especially since I got the new Spiderman game" Steve said "wanna give it a go?" He asked

"Yeah sure, I've never played before though" I answered

"That's fine, I'll show you the ropes" Steve replied and set up the game, then handed me the controller "I beat it yesterday, so you get to start from the beginning" he told me "use R2 to swing, X to jump, hold down R2 and L2 at the same time to perch, hold L2 to go into slow motion, and hold O to make a sharp turn around a corner" he explained

I have him a confused look "when I said I've never played, I meant I've never played a PS4, or any other game console besides a DS for that matter"

Steve looked surprised "what?! Dude your missing out on all the fun!" he said and pushed me lightly on the shoulder

"Looks like my dad is successful man then" I said emotionless

Steve put his arm around me "I'm sorry if I touched a nerve or something" he said quietly

"No it's fine...I'm fine" I responded

"Are you sure? You don't sound too sure" Steve said

I looked at Steve in the eyes and said "I don't think I'm ever, fine, nor will I be, but this is as good as it gets"

Steve pulled me closer to him and mumbled "I'm sorry"

"It's not your fault Steve, it's mi-" I was saying before I got cut off

"Don't you dare say this is your fault" Steve said "because it's not, you did nothing wrong. Trust me Clint, your one if the best, nicest, funnest, good looking, funny, and sweet person I know. Your perfect the way you are and none of this is your fault, nor will it ever be" Steve said, which made me blush madly

I leaned into Steves body, for once in my life I felt comfortable "thanks Steve, it means a lot" I said

Steve smiled and looked down at me "anytime Clint"

We sat there like that for a couple of minutes until Steves phone went off and he got up to go get it. He brought his phone back to the couch and sat back down next to me and threw his arm back around me. He read the message and smiled.

"Check this out Clint" he said and showed me the message

Bucky: who was the new girl at the lunch table, she's pretty cool

I smiled "you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"I'm pretty sure I am" Steve said and his thumbs began to race around the keyboard

Me: ooooh, does someone have a crush?

Bucky: Steven, I will run to your house and murder you in the most painful way possible

Me: I'll take that as a yes
