So, I'm Tony Stark/Iron Man and Clint Barton/Hawkeye in my RP group. So I thought why not? It's funny though, it's like I'm writing about me loving me. HAHAHAHA.

So.

Current Song: Blue Ridge Mountains by the Fleet Foxes I LOVE THE FLEET FOXES

Current Thought: Well this is exciting. More writing. How do you guys put up with me?

Tony/Clint Barton AKA Hawkeye

He's mouthy, he's reckless, has problems with authority, likes to drink, never shuts up.

He's Tony with better aim and a softer, more secret heart, and he's killed a lot more people.

But no one ever said you couldn't fall in love with yourself. And it's a bit different with Clint Barton.

Because he's always got Natasha's back, but then he's always got everyone's back where he perches on the eves of things when the battles get thick and rough and he's calling things out to everyone while kicking ass at the same time. And Tony's doesn't even realize there's something behind him until it falls with an arrow in the middle of it's forehead and he gets a split second to see the immense relief on Clint's face before the archer is back to shooting things.

Tony doesn't even realize how close they've gotten. Not really. But he should have. He makes bows for Clint all the time, remakes his arrows into something cooler, better. Fixes his wrist guards so they don't bruise him, makes sure his armor is touch so he stays safe. They hang out and watch Buffy and Firefly and reruns of old shows that have gotten canceled because they're the only one's who like it and are willing to watch it with each other.

So when Clint tosses himself off a building to make a final shot, Tony almost loses his shit as he thinks he might not be able to fly over there fast enough to catch him. But he does, damn-it he does and Clint's smiling like a maniac because,

"I knew you would catch me."

And Tony's going to drop him on purpose because,

"You idiot, you almost gave me a heart attack. I hate you."

But he doesn't. Pretty sure he loves the guy. Flips up his face plate to kiss the fuck out of him, so yeah, pretty sure this is love.

He does drop Clint though, still on purpose and with a purpose, the archer still laughing with his lips kiss-swollen, right into the fight so he can cover Natasha and she just rolls her eyes and pushes Clint out of the way so he doesn't get crushed by a falling building.

Tony's going to have to think a really great way to thank her later.

Ok. There that is.
