I'm going to say this flat out. I'm a terrible person. First off, I have updated anything in the past two months. Secondly I took this challenge in late September and am now just posting it. This is written for the Quote Challenge on the Avengers Challenge forum.
Quote: "I have never felt as happy as I feel right now. Because you live, I can be happy." –Unknown.
Warning: Mainly this is M only because I'm paranoid, please correct me if I' m wrong. Possible OOC-ness. If you're a big comic buff and plan on correcting everything I get wrong, turn around now. You've been warned so don't flame.

This takes place right after episode sixteen; Widow's Sting.
It had meant nothing. It was just a one night thing. They were both drunk when it happened, so anything either Bobbi or Clint said or did was out of sheer drunken stupidity. Besides, that night was about three months ago and neither one of them had brought it back up.
At least this was what Bobbi kept telling herself. She knew that it was a lie.
If it hadn't meant anything, why would she opt to go with Clint to Hydra Island? Yes, Nick Furry had order her to do it, but the assignment didn't bother her. Quite the opposite, she was rather happy to see Clint again. She had missed him since he left SHIELD.
If it was just a one night thing, why did she keep thinking about it? She had had one night stands in the past, and had easily moved on afterwards. One night stands were for itches that needed to be scratched. They didn't happen on the same day that you just narrowly escaped dying in a SHIELD carrier crash.
They weren't both drunk. Bobbi knew that. She'd seen Clint before, and each time she wished that she could post it online. If he was drunk, how could he have possibly said what he had to her? Not by any definition had they been intoxicated. They each only had a few drinks at the bar. They had made it to her apartment without stumbling and woke up in the morning lacking severe hangovers. That night couldn't be blamed on the alcohol.
That night had been three months ago. Seeing Clint last night made the memory fresh in her mind. He had obviously been thinking about the night the spent together as well. "The costume didn't hurt," was his answer when she asked him why he let her come along.
Sure Clint could be a dick at times, but he could also be charming when he wanted to; which, frankly, wasn't often enough for Bobbi's taste. The fact that his charming moments where so few and far between was the reason for him waking up in her bed.
On lonely nights like tonight, Bobbi would lay awake in bed remembering that night back in April. She could recall every little detail; from the words he whispered to her, to the way he could make her toes curl.
"I have never felt as happy as I feel right now. Because you live, I can be happy," he had told her as their once chaste good night kiss turned into something more. No doubt in her mind that she'd remember those words forever, even if he hadn't meant them.
I'm sorry that this isn't this best written thing ever. Also it's really short, so I apologize for that as well. Please don't flame this. Thanks for reading.
