"Barney's going to ask Maria to marry him." He spit out before he could stop himself.
"What?" Natasha asked, turning to look at him.
"He made me promise not to tell." Clint said. "But I can't take you being like this."
"I can't do anything to change that Clint." She said quietly. "He doesn't love me. He loves Maria."
"No, he doesn't." Clint cursed himself for saying it. He didn't need to come to his brother's side to fix the two. They didn't need to be together. He didn't deserve her.
"Yes he does." Natasha said. "He made it very clear. He burned the book."
"Are you really going to let him do this?" Clint asked. "What happened to the Natasha Romanoff that did whatever the fuck she wanted to just because she wanted that person?"
"She's gone." She mumbled. "She's been gone."
"Happy, take us to Stark Tower." Clint said to Happy Hogan, who was driving them around.
"Clint." Natasha said quietly.
"You are going to win him over." Clint said. "And that's final."
"Clint." She said again, looking over at him, green eyes bright
"What!" He looked over at her.
She shook her head, and stared down at her trembling hands.
"We're here." Happy called into the backseat as they pulled up next to Stark Towers.
"Go be with your prince." Clint said quietly.
"Thank you." She said, wrapping her arms around him. "I love you for this."
"I love you too Tasha." He said as she opened the door and got out, waving to him. She shut it behind her.
"What the fuck did I just do?" He asked, putting his head in his hands.
"Where would you like to go?" Happy asked.
"Nearest bar." Clint said. He suddenly hated himself way too much to be sober.
He was sitting in the bar when Tony sat down next to him. "You hear the news?" Tony asked.
"Edward pooped?" He asked, completely bored out of his mind.
"Yes, but that's not what I'm talking about." Tony said. "Little Red's getting married."
Clint coughed on his beer, glaring at Tony. "You're shitting me."
"No. I'm so serious. She's getting married to your brother." Tony said. "He said that he couldn't have done it without you."
Clint made a finger gun and shot himself in the head with it.
"Wait, you don't still have fe-"
"No." Clint shook his head. "Not at all. That was like, so last month."
Tony laughed. "Dude, it's over. You helped your own brother get the girl you've been in love with since you first met her." He shook his head. "You fucked yourself over."
"I know." Clint said.
