Clint had pledged the awful task of showing some of the newer recruits what it was like to be one of the highest ranking field agents around for the SHIELD charity perks auction. He'd been given five agents, two girls and three boys, and none of them looked more than about 20 (and that was a shame because he'd really been looking forward to showing them the best places to get wasted after a particularly emotionally taxing mission).
He showed them the boring places first, ironically the ones where he spent the most time. The infirmary, canteen, Director Fury's office, amongst others. He then took them to the office/gym/everything-an-agent-could-possibly-need-in-a-room he shared with Natasha. It was decorated for the holidays, with tinsel, a little Christmas tree, a wreath and a few sprigs of mistletoe dotted around.
She was in there, sitting at her desk, holding one mug of strong coffee whilst there was another six empty mugs on her desk. Her short crimson hair was in low bunches and she was wearing sweat pants and a Hawkeye t-shirt she'd seen in a shop window and gone in and bought all of the other avengers plus Fury and Hill two of, each. It was rather clear to Clint that she was writing a mission report.
"Sorry Nat." he apologised upon walking into the room,"Mind if I show these rookies around here?"
"Mmh." she sighed,"This report for Fury is killing me."
"Not unlike those imbeciles on that mission" he joked
"Just bring in the rookies and keep it down Birdbrain."
"Love you too Tash. C'mon rookies, and keep it down!" the group came in and he showed them around.
"What's that?" asked one of the group.
"That is the weapons cabinet, that's my arrow station, that's our shooting bit, that's the sparring mat," Clint pointed as he spoke. He walked over to Natasha and put his hands on her shoulders, "This is my Nat," he said, pecking her on the cheek.
"Clinton Barton!" She just about shrieked.
"Shouldn't of been sat under the mistletoe! Now, run, rookies, run!" he yelled as the six of them sprinted out of the room and down the hall as Natasha chased them.
"я люблю тебя*, birdbrain" She screamed after him.
He shouted back at her, "I know what that means and I love you too!"
*I love you in Russian
