A/N: thanks to everyone who took time out to review :) I'm trying to clear things off my plate that's why I've updated this story so quickly.
Anyways, happy reading!
After lunch, Clint was showering when Natasha received a call from Coulson to check in to SHIELD right away. She then shouted to him from outside his bathroom and told him she will be back, that she will stay safe, and told him not to worry.
Kate came by to Clint's apartment later in the evening and was enjoying a cup of coffee on his old and messy couch, when she saw a necklace on the coffee table next to her.
'Whose necklace is this?' she asked, elbowing Clint in the ribs with one hand, and the other scooping up the necklace into her palm to closely examine it.
'What necklace?' Clint groaned out, his head still buried in the report he was reading. 'This,' Kate said and shoved her palm to him.
'Oh…' his face fell when he saw the small arrow necklace resting in Kate's hand, 'it's Nat's..' he whispered, more to himself than as a reply.
'You do know that everyone in SHIELD, or probably the entire world, knows you guys are sleeping together right? You don't really have anything to hide,' she grumbled. But what she didn't notice was the hurt that flashed across Clint's face. Kate got up, rolled her eyes, shook her head and left his place with a deep sigh. For the whole night, Clint just sat there on his couch, staring at the tiny arrow in his hand. She had tried so hard to get him to notice it that morning, and she just completely forgot about it when she left for the mission.
Clint had finally finished his paperwork, after taking double the time because his mind never stopped thinking about Natasha's arrow necklace. He went into his bedroom and threw himself onto the mattress, when he heard some crumpling sounds. He found a note on his pillow, neatly scribbled with Natasha's handwriting:-
'Hey, this mission might take at least 3 weeks. I don't want to lose it while I'm in some cold as hell underground caves so I left it here. Keep it safe for me, okay? Because after all, I still want you to remember me while I'm gone. Don't forget that you're my idiot, and I don't want you to think of anyone else but me. Remember that you're mine for as long as you can be.'
By the time he finished reading her note, a permanent grin was already plastered on his face. He could almost imagine her smirking at his childlike behaviour. He slipped the note under his pillow and immediately drifted into sleep.
The next morning, Clint woke up with his hands clutching tightly to a silver necklace.
