Rings and Reviews

Natasha leaned against the sleek SHIELD car. She twirled a red curl absently, and then felt girly so she crossed her arms over her chest to wait. She felt strange waiting for Clint to come out of headquarters with their briefing envelope. She had probably done it countless times but this time it felt different. Even though they hadn't actually discussed whether they were a couple it felt like they were and that made her feel girly and feeling girly made her feel weak. Clint emerged from the building, with his sunglasses on, his expression unreadable. Once he got closer he tossed something to her. She stared at the little box, dumfounded.

"Want to get hitched?" He threw a duffel bag into the back seat. She opened the box, saw the engagement ring and for some odd reason nearly reached for her gun. "Uh, Nat? Its for our cover." She put the ring on and fiddled with it as she absorbed that. Clint chuckled softly. They climbed in the car.

"Good," she joked "because if that had been for real I would have had to beat you up."

"Oh."

"That was such a sucky way to propose."

Clint grinned and leaned over to kiss her. They drove away.

"Wait! I forgot!" cried Natasha. The car skidded to a halt and Clint backed it up. "If you liked the story, or if you didn't, review!" And they drove into the sunset. Well not really. They were in the middle of New York in the middle of the day. But I'm sure somewhere in their long future together there is going to be a sunset and maybe even a real proposal with a real ring and a happily ever after for a couple of master assasins.
