Clint's Master Class:
Clint Barton looked at his new partner quizzically; it had been almost six months since Natasha Romanov had defected from Russia and had joined Shield, and in that time, he hadn't seen her do anything but work.
It concerned Clint that his young partner hadn't displayed having any hobbies or interests outside of work, which, in his opinion, was unhealthy, especially in their profession. So gathering up his courage, he finally decided to approach her about it.
Clint cautiously walked up to Natasha, who was in the middle of working on a report for Furry, hearing footsteps approach her desk, she looked up, seeing it was only Clint, she gave him a small smile which, he returned.
"Hello Barton is there something I can help you with," she asked.
Clint smiled, "No, not really, but I do have a question for you," he said.
Natasha kept a blank face when she answered him, "Um ok, what is it," she said.
Clint rubbed the back of his head when he answered her, "Well, you see, I was just wondering what you do for fun? It's been six months since you came here, and I haven't seen you do anything besides work," he said.
The only response he received was a blank stare from Nat, who didn't know how to answer the question. Natasha knew, of course, what fun meant she had looked it up in the dictionary; what she didn't understand was how you had fun. The Red Room didn't exactly encourage her to have any hobbies.
"Fun," she tried the word out.
Clint's face lit up, encouraged by her response, "Yeah, you know like things you enjoy doing. For me, I like to go to the Fair and when prizes at the booths," he said.
Nat gave him a questioning look, "What is the Fair," she asked.
The archer was shocked, not expecting her answer; how did she not know what the Fair was, but then he grew excited, realizing she had just given him an opening for something they could do outside of work.
He gave her his brightest smile, "Only one of the coolest places on earth, come on I'll take you," he said.
Natasha arched an eyebrow, "Right now," she said.
Clint continued to smile, "Yep, right now, come on, I promise it will be fun," he said.
Nat looked uncertain, "But my report," she said.
"Leave it; you can do it later," he said.
Nat still looked uncertain, "But what about Furry? Won't he be mad," she said.
Clint waved a hand in the air, "I'll deal with Furry if he gives you any grief. Come on; it will only be a few hours," he said.
Natasha was still unsure about the idea, so Clint gave her his puppy-eyed stare; which, is how he finally convinced her to go.
"Ok, ok, I'll go to the Fair with you," she said, putting her report down and getting up from her desk.
Clint beamed at her, excited to show her a good time, and that's how Natasha learned what having fun meant and what the Fair was. It's also how she gained a small stuffed animal collection thanks to Clint
