Nothing between Claire and Clint this chapter. Just a Claire and Tony moment. I don't own Frosted Flakes or Tony the Tiger (Both of which are mentioned) I'm sorry it's so short though! I'm also sorry if the flashback skips around. Tried to make it short and sweet haha
Claire hurried to Tony's room, put in the code, and scurried in just as he was coming out of the bathroom. Claire took one look at him, screamed and
turned. "TONY! Please, I beg you, put on something more than just a towel!" "Hey, you were the one that busted into my room. So you have to take
the consequences." She squeaked and he let out a laugh. "I'm decent, Claire-bear." "You have no shirt." she accused, turning around. "Oh. Good
observation. Seriously? You've seen me shirtless before. Besides, I thought you thought the reactor was pretty." He tapped his chest. "It is. But that
isn't why I'm here! I'm here because I'm an idiot!" "Well, I knew that, but why do you admit it now?" "Because I...Hey! Jerk." "You just now got that?"
He rolled his eyes, dodging the pillow she chucked at him. "Anyway. I think you were right, tiger. I...I think I like Clint. Maybe just a little bit..." "No
way? Seriously? No, really. You couldn't have made it more obvious." "Best part, I kissed him." Claire flopped onto the bed. Tony crawled over her,
laying on her other side and watching her "How'd he take it?" "I didn't stick around to find out." "Why not?" "I don't know. I'm an idiot. I just left him
sitting there..." "Claire, you need to talk to the man. He deserves that, don't you think?" He sat up, pulling her with him. Claire was silent for a while.
"Do you remember how we met?" she asked suddenly. "Me and you? Of course. I found you wandering around the streets. You had just turned
nineteen and you were...about seven months pregnant with Adalyn. Right?" "Yeah. You followed me around for a couple of days. I thought you were
going to try to kill me." Claire gave a small laugh. "Three days later I finally asked if you wanted a place to stay until after the baby was born." "Which is
weird for you because that isn't the Tony I know." They both laughed before Claire continued. "I asked your name. When you said Tony, I told you that
I had been craving Frosted Flakes, and that your name didn't help, tiger." "You finally came and stayed. We became practically family. Two months later,
you had a beautiful little girl. Then you left. You went off to France to find your real family, and that day I lost my sister. Sure, we emailed for a while,
but it wasn't the same. I missed you." He pulled her into a tight hug which she returned. "Ugh. You're going all...mushy, tiger." He stuck his tongue out
before pushing her onto the floor. "Go. Talk to Hawk. Leave me and my awesome self to take a nap." She rolled her eyes, got up off the floor, and
kissed his cheek. "Thanks tiger." She smiled and left the room.
I love this chapter...It captures the brotherly side of Tony, instead of just the witty side xD Anyway, I hope you liked it :3 Two chapters in one day...I'm going crazy!
