Baby - Bruce/Clint
Bruce always loved children, before his accident he dreamt of settling down and having a family of his. Then he gained the Other Guy, and he was certain it was futile to ever dream like that again. So he ran. He ran from any type of relationship, going so far as go hide himself in a war torn nation to get away. Then he was called back into civilization where he met Clint. Their relationship was rocky at best in the beginning, Clint was always so sure he wouldn't be hurt, some days nearly matching Tony in his annoying pranks to try and gain the Other Guy's attention. Eventually, about a year into their relationship it was proven he was correct, the Other Guy, no matter how enraged, would never do anything to harm him. Then Clint took it a step further, bringing up the subject of adoption.
Again his fear got the better of him, and he ran. He ran from his problems, preferring to act as though they didn't exist rather than face them head on and handle the consequences as they happen.
For nearly a month he hid from the smaller male, not wanting to be reminded of what he felt he could never have.
It was during a walk, in which Clint was silent, showing how truly angry he was, that everything changed. A child was crying, simply having been separated from her mother and scared and without realizing what he was doing he rushed to her side, immediately assessing the situation. Promising the child to find her mother he stood, placing her on his shoulders as they began to search, unaware of Clint's soft smile as he watched. Once the child's mother was located, calling the girl's name, he gently set her down, brown eyes widening when she threw her arms around his neck in a tight hug, kissing his cheek in thanks before heading off with her mother.
Looking back at Clint he smiled softly, taking his hand.
"Let's look into adoption."
