I don't really have much to say about this chapter… weird. Okay, well leave lots of reviews and be brutally honest as always!
Natasha quickly shot Clint a smile and then, just as quickly, wiped it off her face before Rogers could see it. She then strode past the soldier and then the other agent, barely brushing her arm with his. Clint turned and followed, trying to keep the smirk off his face.
Natasha moved toward the bed and brushed off the dust on the sheets. Clint appeared next to her almost immediately.
"Nice work back there Agent Romanoff," he whispered with a smile in his voice.
Natasha looked first through the so-called doorway, which was really a large hole in the wall, and then at her partner. She gave him a look of warning, signaling to him to keep his voice down and then she took a seat on the bed.
"Stark may be asleep, but Rogers is sitting right on the other side of the wall. Focus on the mission and just go to sleep." Her face was serious and her voice was stern, but Clint could only smile at her. He knew by her own smile earlier that she was happy to be with him at the moment. He walked around to the other side of the bed and she laid down on her side, facing away from him.
Clint sat down and then swung his legs up so that he was lying on his back. The arm farthest from Natasha rested on his abdomen and the other moved to behind his head so that his bicep was flexed. They both had their boots on and Clint's bow was next to him on the ground. Natasha's gun was still strapped to her leg—on safety of course.
They were always ready for what ever could possibly happen. If the enemies somehow figured out where they were they could be prepared to fight in an instant; however, Clint was not ready for what would happen next.
Natasha silently—and impressively considering it was a straw bed—turned over to her other side so that she was facing Clint. She then stretched her neck out and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek and rested her head on him arm.
It was so unlike her, so lady-like, so affectionate. Clint thought he knew every side to her. Natasha was confused herself as to why exactly she did it. It took a few moments for the disbelief to run its course through both of them.
"Are you nervous?" Clint whispered into Natasha's ear a few minutes later.
"It's a routine mission," She replied like it was impossible for anyone to be nervous about such a thing.
I meant now, about us, he thought but decided it would be best to drop the subject. He reached over with the hand that wasn't behind his head and placed in on the curve of her waist.
Natasha was the one to fall asleep first, but Clint followed not long after. When the sun began to fall in the sky some hours later, there was cough in the "doorway."
Almost simultaneously the two agents opened there eyes. Rogers was standing a few feet from the bed, looking off into the distance. "I wanted to wake you two up before Stark." He mumbled awkwardly, implying that Tony would find something peculiar about the situation and wouldn't let it go.
Neither of them said anything and Natasha pushed herself off of Clint and sat up, swinging her legs off the edge of the bed. Rogers walked away and bumped into the sofa, hitting the sleeping Tony Stark in the leg as he passed. Clint stood up and shook his arm that had fallen asleep due to Natasha's head resting on it while they were sleeping. Tony mumbled something about poor bedside manner to Rogers and also stood up, stretching his arms over his head.
"What? No coffee?" Tony joked. No one but him really found any humor in the statement.
"We should move out soon," The Captain stated, leaning against a wall and staring intently outside into the dim light.
"I agree, especially since we'll be on foot. It's a few miles from here," Natasha replied, standing up and moving into the main room of the house.
Not even minutes later, each Avenger was suited up and ready to go.
I have been thinking about the next chapter so much that I really didn't have any ideas for this one so I just kind of made everything up on the spot. Yay for improvisation!
