hey thatnerdyteen back again, this has been in my head since i read Childhood memories and you should read that its better than this is, but thanks for clicking it
Natasha Romanova, 6, was a reclusive child, never played well with the other children, she would watch from afar as if waiting for someone to get her, despite moving here from Russia, she spoke well English, she never fought with anyone, always went by the rules and despite not talking was a very good child
Clint Barton, 8, was the opposite of that, he loved playing with other children, he was very talkative and always included others in the game trying to make friends who would play with him, despite being deaf he could hear because of his hearing aid he's had since he was 3 that his brother and mother saved up for, he has trouble listening, over all he is an energized child
Ms. Danvers knew that the day they became friends was the day that she wouldn't ever forget, and the day came as Clint walked up to Natasha as she read a book by a tree,
"HEY WHY DONT YOU COME PLAY WITH US?" he shouted with a wide grin on his face "you don't have to yell at me, i can hear you " he looked puzzled for a moment before he realized "SORRY I HAVE TO YELL, FORGOT TO GET MY HEARING AIDS FROM AARON" Aaron was the bully at the home, he was 14 and thought it was funny to pick on Clint because Clint thinks it's just a game "Well why don't we get them back from Aaron?" Getting up she pointed to her ears then at Aaron at first Clint looked confused, she grabbed his hand and walked over to the older boy "Excuse me, which one of you is Aaron?" she asked in a polite voice, the three boys just looked at her funny "Who's asking for Aaron?" one she assumed was Aaron asked "I am, Clint needs his hearing aids back please " gesturing to the lost looking boy still holding her hand
"Oh, so now Barton's got a girlfriend to fight his battles? well im not giving them back, he gave them to me" Aaron sneered stepping into her personal space, and for being a 6-year-old the Height difference between them was hysterical because he has to crouch down to look her in the eyes "And no one can take them back"
"If you don't give them back, I'm going to have to take them back " letting go of Clint's hand she handed him her book careful to make sure he won't lose her page and moved him back a little bit , she turned back and punched the boy in the face, he stumbled back and his friends who were just watching started to laugh but stopped when Aaron looked at them "Well think your tough huh? well then let's see " he said pulling back to punch her, she dodged easily pushing him in the side knocking him to the ground "Now before this escalates will you please give Clint back his Hearing aids?"
the boy walked over to his friend and asked for them back, after getting them he handed them over to Natasha "There you go, now go be a freak somewhere else" walking away with Clint in tow she headed back to her tree and obtained her book after giving Clint back his hearing aids "thanks, no one's ever really done that since Barney, he always stood up to bullies for me "
"Its okay, you just have to learn to defend yourself and be careful don't give anyone else your hearing aids unless you're sure they'll give them back " returning to her book she heard him walk away only for him to run back her way and jump on the lowest branch of the tree she was sitting at "What are you doing? weren't you playing a game or something?"
"Well i was playing a game i thought, but now that i can hear again, they were just calling me names like always, and you seem to be enjoying your book and not calling me names, so I'm hanging out with you" he said hooking his knees on the branch and swinging upside down wide grin on his face again" Of course if you'll let me stay?"
"Sure, you can stay but next time you have to bring a book to read, otherwise you can't come back " returning to her book barely flipping the page when he spoke "How do you read so well for being six anyway?"
"i was taught to read by my mother before she died, i was always a fast learner"
the next week when Ms. Danvers would go out to check on everyone, they were both next to the tree, her with her novel and him with a comic book, and when Clint went to play with the other kids, Natasha would have his hearing aids in her lap only to give them back when he asked for them
as months went by the two seemed to be inseparable, Clint seemed to stop playing as much with other kids when they Called Natasha names and made fun of her,
one won't talk without the other there, he taught her Sign Language so when he didn't have his hearing aids they could still talk, and she taught him Russian so they could talk without anyone knowing what they're saying
they pull pranks on the other kids like taking Aaron's backpack and putting it just outside his reach or taking someone's left shoe, He's stops her from getting bullied, and vice versa, she doesn't eat much at mealtimes so he would finish hers, he told her about his dad and how his brother left him here to run away to the circus, she told him about her mean uncle and life in Russia
they were best friends and after begging for weeks they convinced Ms. Danvers to put in both their files how they won't leave without the other, and couples came to adopt either Clint or Natasha but after hearing they won't go without the other and major temper tantrums and Clint would take out his hearing aid and refusing to speak, the couple would adopt someone else causing both of them to be grounded, but as long as they were together nothing really mattered, if her books were taken away and his comics, they talked to each other played games where they're spies hired to take down the government, or superheroes saving cities everything was great
Until the day came that they were told only Clint was adopted, the people didn't even meet him just adopted him, apparently not reading all the way through where at the bottom it says must be accompanied with Natalia Romanova,
as he got ready, he insisted that she get ready she told them he was only adopted not her, but he insisted "If they want me, they'll have to want you too" with all their things packed at 4:00Pm they waited in the hallway for the people who adopted just one of them, they played eye spy and thumb wars and after thirty minutes someone walked in the building, Clint grabbed Natalia's hand
He was tall mid-thirties and was in a suit he walked over and crouched down he extended his hand "Hello" was all he said, Clint shook his hand with the hand that wasn't holding Natalia's "Hello, im Clint Barton and this is Natasha " Natalia's eyes grew wide as she looked at him "Clint you're the one getting adopted, don't try and push him to get me too "
"But Nat you have to come with me " the man chuckled lightly causing the bickering children to look at him "it's okay Now i have to get Papers signed will you be good while I'm gone?" Clint nodded and the man walked into Ms. Danvers office,
what the children didn't know was the man adopted both, he and his wife couldn't have children so they wanted to adopt, they looked through all the files of the orphanage and found Clint he looked like a nice kid despite being marked hyperactive when he got the end of his file he read in bold letters "MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY NATASHA ROMANOVA " he searched through the files and found Her's, what confused him was neither child looked like the other, and at the bottom of Her's was the same bold letters as before "MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY CLINT BARTON" he talked it over with his wife and she agreed to adopt both of them, he couldn't split them up,
he remembers what happened to him when he was an orphan being split with his half-sister, he was eventually adopted by the couple Fury's, and when they got to their house there was a welcome home sign by none other than his half-sister Heather, so he signed both the papers and a social worker would be checking in every month for five months before they would both be official Coulson's
Walking out in the hall he found Clint and Natalia hugging each other, she was crying, and he was trying to calm her down "It's okay Tasha, remember just like before i'm not leaving you, i promised remember? if he wants me, he'll have to take you too " she looked at him tears still in her eyes "You promise?" Her voice was quiet he nodded his head, it was then that the man decided to make himself known "Alright let's go, are your bags upstairs? let's go get them" he started climbing the stairs as the two children followed, hands still together
Clint walked into his shared room with another boy Jason, grabbed his purple backpack and walked out of the room and grabbed Natasha's hand again before turned to the man "I'm not leaving without Nat, im sorry if you change your mind but if i leave her i won't do anything, i'll sit in my room and just rot away because i can't be with her " He stated brow furrowed, the man looked between the two children Natasha was trying not to cry and Clint was glaring at him "Now where did you get the idea that i was going to split you guys up?" He asked confused, he had told Ms. Danvers to tell both of them, 'had she only told Clint?' He though "I am going to adopt both of you, now Natasha where is your room and is your bag packed?"
they both looked surprised before Clint got the biggest grin on his face "I'll get her bag you keep her company" Before running off down the hall and coming back with a red backpack and a stuffed animal hawk "Alright i think thats everything i grabbed your pj's your shirts and skirts and you're wearing your shoes " he stated grabbing her hand again
as they walked down the stairs The man grabbed both their bags from them and lead them out the door, he already got them booster seats before going there and as they buckled, the man said "Im Phil Coulson by the way" both children nodded their heads, Natasha was asleep within minutes holding Clints Hand
they drove for about an hour before they pulled into down a street of cookie cutter houses and pulled into the driveway of the first house
"And here we are casa de la Coulson, need any help getting out of the seats? or getting your bags?" he was nervous, he rarely dealt with kids and even when his job required it his wife was the one who helped
"We're okay Mr. Coulson, i think Tasha's just tired, it been a big day " Clint said unbuckling Natasha and nudging her "Tasha its time to get up, come on were home" she opened her eyes and tiredly rubbed them "Home?" She looked around and saw Phil with their bags from the trunk walk to the side of the car that her and Clint were on "Come on guys let's get inside"
He walked to the door as the two kids followed Natasha holding her stuffed Hawk and grabbing Clints hand "а если они нас не захотят?"(what if they don't want us?) Clint looked at her and whispered "тогда мы будем держаться вместе несмотря ни на что"(then we'll stick together no matter what) giving her a reassuring smile he walked into the door of the house pulling her with him,
they walked into a large living room, there was the biggest T.V. Clint had ever seen, Natasha's eyes went wide at the large bookshelf on one of the walls, at the entrance of the next room was Phil standing next to a woman who smiled at them both "im Jenn Coulson, your Clint, right?" She said small smile on her face as she walked towards them and crouched down "and you must be Natasha, well dinners done if you guys are hungry, but i'll show you your rooms first" Getting up she walked out of the room, popping her head back in "well come on let's go" disappearing again Clint and Natasha decided to follow her,
she led them down a hallway up some stairs and to another hallway with five doors "Alright, Clint your room is at the end of the hallway on the left and Natasha yours is this one right here" Pointing to a white door to the right of the stairs "I'll let you get settled and then ill serve dinner "
Walking down the stairs and disappearing from sight Natasha looked at Clint "They're splitting us up? what if the nightmares come back or what about the monsters under the bed, Clint what are we gonna do?" Clint looked at her, then at the doors to both their rooms "I'll tell you what Tasha let's just ask if we can share a room, its not like we haven't done it before, i'll go ask Phil, you stay here, don't want you to get hurt"
Walking down the stairs much like Jenn did before Clint wandered around the house before finding the kitchen where both Phil and Jenn were "Um..Excuse me Mr. Phil there's a uh a problem " Clint wasn't sure where this nervousness came from, he never had trouble talking to adults except his dad "Oh? what's wrong Bud?" Phil asked as he sat down on a stool "Well um Me an Natasha were wondering if we could share a room? cause she gets nervous at night and doesn't like being alone and i don't like her being alone because, She's just a little kid, but don't tell her i said that cause she would pound me " Clint closed his eyes and put his arms up waiting to be hit for talking so fast, but no hit came he opened his eyes to Jenn and Phil looking at each other, then Phil got up " alright lets go move a bed, then dinner "Clint was happy he wasn't hit and now him and Natasha can share a room
Moving the bed from Natasha's room to Clints wasn't as hard as they thought it was and it didn't take long for them to be unpacked and eating, Natasha eating part of hers and Clint eating the rest, ice cream for dessert, watched UP then at 9:30 they went to bed, in the same room 4 feet from each other
"Clint?"
"Yea?"
"I think i like it here, can we stay for a bit?"
"Yea Tasha, we can stay" turning to face Natasha, who was facing him he closed his eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep
