I thanked Steve for lunch when we were finished and went home for a little while. I just don't know how some people could just sit at home all day long and not do anything. I checked my phone for messages and saw that I received one, I pressed the replay button and listened intently.

" Cas, it's me Clint meet me at the shipping yard at sundown. I can't wait to see you there." I stopped the message and could'nt recall knowing any man named Clint. I spent the next couple of hours trying to remember him and clean my weapons. After I was done I had to make a plan on how I was going to approach this situation. The man apparently knew who I was enough to not use my full name. Sundown was about a hour away so I went toward the shipping yard. Better be prepared for anything then get killed by some novice because he had the upperhand. I grabbed my bow and quiver, trip wire, netting, and other things. Once I arrived I began setting traps at all possible points he might try to enter, when I was done with that I found a nice spot to hide and wait for my prey.

When Steve went out to lunch Clint saved the number he dialed for Cas. All he needed was to talk to her and maybe he could get his mind off her. He called her and left a message to meet him at a old shipping yard at sundown. Clint got cleaned up right before grabbing his phone and leaving when he heard Tony's voice.

" Where are you going Clint?"

" No nick-name this time?"

" Sorry, what was I thinking. Where are you going Robin Hood? Off to steal from the rich and give to the poor because if that's what you are doing Pepper already gives money to her favourite charities." Tony smiled smugly. Clint rolled his eyes and let out a small chuckle.

" No I am going on a date."

" Who's the unfortunate... I mean lucky girl?"

" You don't know her." And with that Clint left.

Sun down is approaching so this Clint guy should be here any moment. I watched from atop a large crate. I saw movement as a man stepped inside. He stood there for a moment and looked around, then he spotted my trip wire and moved over it. That trip wire was almost invisible to any normal person so this guy had to be trained, if he was trained he was a threat.

" Cas, Cas are you out here? Was that you who put a trip wire out?" The man called out. I jumped of my perch and sneaked up behind him. My feet were silent from years of practice as I took a arrow and loaded my bow behind him. I rested the tip to the back of his neck and let out a low growl.

" Who are you and how do you know my name?"

" Is that how you say hello now Cas? No wonder you only have Steve as a friend." The man replied smugly. I lowered my bow and he turned to face me.

" It's me Cas, Clint, Don't you remember? You trained me to be quiet as the wind, stealthy as a predator in the jungle." He smiled as he started remembering. I thought for a second as memories flooded my brain. Sometimes I think I have the worst of luck. what were the odds the man I almost fell in love with would find me again? Now he's probably wondering why I just up and left him those many years ago. I would have to tell him " hey I pledged to turn my back to men and run around the woods to shoot things, yeah it was a good decision at the time not so much now." how awkward could that be right? Also how did he know about Steve? Has he been trying to find me all these years? No im pretty sure I stayed off the grid so people could'nt find me. I must have been quiet along time because the next thing I knew he was standing right in front of me holding my hand.

" Cas are you okay? Cas are you even listening to me?" He said in a slightly annoyed voice. A small blush spread across my cheeks as I removed my hand from his and started to walk away.

" Yes im fine lets go talk at my place it's not to far from here and it's warmer." I waved at him to follow. Once we arrived at my place he put his arms around me and spoke.

" Cas I missed you so much when you left. I tried finding you for a little while, but things changed, but I still never gave up hope you would turn up soon." His faced snuggled up in my hair as he spoke. I was still in shock when he let go, but quickly pulled myself back together.

" Please don't do that ever again."

" Why you a germ-a-phob now or something?" He gave me a strange look and another blush went across my face. He was happy to see me that's why he hugged me, but now I have to explain why he can't do it again. It felt good to be embraced by someone else even though he was a man, I just have'nt had a good hug in so long.

" No, it's not that..."I looked nervously around the room trying to think of something to say when he spoke first.

" I know it may not be any of my business' but why did you leave all those years ago? You don't have to tell me but I would like to know." He gave me a sad puppy look and I had no choice other than give in. I started remembering every painful detail of that night.

" You know for a woman you don't know how to cook for shit." Clint smiled as he ate a burnt piece of fish I had caught earlier that day.

" If you don't like it cook your own food." I replied simply. I was a hunter not a cooker and food being burnt just means it was sterile. He looked up at me and smiled. His blue eyes seem to glow in the dim light the fire put out. I had been with Clint for a few months now. I was training him but a couple of weeks ago he mastered all that I could teach him, so now he just hung around.

" No any food I don't have to go and get and cook is good food to me." He smiled brightly and finished his food. We sat in silence until he got up and sat by me. I thought it was kind of weird till he gave me a serious look and started speaking.

"Cas I can ask you anything right?"

" Yeah sure I am a open book."

" Well You never talk about your family. I mean I told you about mine, but you never told me about yours." I was a little surprised at that. I guess I was'nt an open book after all, but he was one of my friends and deserved to know.

" I had my Mother and Father, and a Sister. One day my Father went out and never returned. After that it was just my Mother, Sister, and me. I went out hunting one morning and when I returned home I found my Mother and Sister dead. I was so angry at myself I let them down. I was sad until I met a woman who helped me get revenge on who killed my Sister, and Mother. That woman became a second sister to me, but I will never forget my little sister. She was so smart, kind, funny, and warm. She had so much ahead of her. I can't help but know it is my fault she's gone." By the time I had finished my eyes were blurry with tears and Clint had his arms wrapped tightly around my shivering body. He put one finger under my chin and made me look him in the eyes as he spoke.

"It's not your fault Cas. Im sure she knows you love her and miss her." He gently put his hands around my face and wiped the tears away. The next few moments happened so fast they might have not even existed, but a girl never forgets her first kiss. Clint gently pressed his lips to mine, the contact made my face warm. He stayed there until I pushed away. It felt wrong, I was a hunter and made a promise to Artemis to turn my back to men. Then again Clint was so warm, he made me feel protected and wanted. He opened his eyes as I scooted away, he had worry written on his face. I could'nt just leave him thinking he did something wrong so I embraced him as he crashed his lips to mine in a passionate kiss. We just held each other that night. I woke up before Clint and started thinking, Not only did I cry in front of a man but I also kissed him and slept in his arms. I could just see Artemis now. I wrote a letter saying I had some urgent business I had to go to and left. As a I was walking away a single tear rolled down my cheek.

I sat up and looked at Clint. I just started to blurt out My promise to Artemis, and the reason why I left. I was scared I was falling in love, how sad is that? I let all my emotions pour out as I told how I didn't want to leave him that night. He just sat there and listened as I felt the tears begin to fall. I thought for sure he would think I was crazy or pitiful, but he just moved by me and held my hands. About thirty minutes later I washed my face and found Clint was still here. " What are you still doing here?"

" Thinking."

" About what?"

" About how I am going to wait for you."

" On what?"

" To fall in love with me, and not regret it." He said simply before pulling me tight in a hug and leaving. I watched him leave and thought, " What have I gotten myself into?"
