Hello people! Yes, it's a Tuesday and I upload on Saturdays, but I was home sick from school today so I wrote a little and felt like uploading. Hi. Have a nice day everyone!

Natasha hated being sick, and Clint knew that. Knew she hated feeling weak, hated feeling like she needed help from anyone, even Clint. But whenever Natasha was sick, he was careful to still treat her a little more gently than usual. Breakfast in bed instead of just making it for her and waiting for her to come out. Mint tea instead of coffee, soup for dinner instead of chicken and rice or porkchops or whatever they were having that night.

If what Clint did was super duper obvious, Natasha would roll her eyes and tell him, "I can take care of myself, Barton," but she secretly loved him even more for caring enough about her to do all these things. When he had to go to work but he knew she'd been feeling awful the night before, he'd leave a note, along with a glass of ice water and some Tylenol. The note was always slightly different, but they were always sweet, and read something like this:

Dear Nat,

Don't be mad at me, but you hardly slept last night, and don't try and deceive me, I know you're sick, so I shut off your alarm and told Fury that you're out today. Try to get some rest, I left The Notebook in the dvd player and a soup can next to the pot on the stove. Paper Towns is in your drawer(at which point Natasha would open her bedside table drawer and smile at the fact that yes, it was), so just relax today, okay? I'm going to try to come home early night. See you as soon as possible, I love you.

-Clint xx

And when Clint got home that afternoon, after threatening to fart in Fury's vents unless he got the evening off, she'd look at him and act like he should have left her alarm on, but they both knew that she was grateful, and he'd ignore the glare and flop down next to her, to catch the end of The Notebook with his Natasha.

She would, despite that glare earlier, curl into him and rest her head on his shoulder, allowing him to wrap an arm around her and trace little shapes on her back. Natasha hated being sick, but she didn't hate sick days with Clint.

Best review gets a note from Clint! Leave a review telling me how your day was, and follow me on twitter haiitsleah1 for shoutouts and love and DM's and PM's from me!
