Rock my world – Clint Barton

I noticed Clint doing target practise and a small smirk appeared on my face as I made the ground beneath him shake suddenly, making him miss the target by a few feet. Tony started laughing and high fived me before Clint met my eyes, his expression telling me he wasn't impressed and maybe slightly annoyed by my trick. I shrugged innocently and scurried back as he began coming towards me.

"Pepper!" I wailed, sprinting towards where my older sister was as Clint full on chased me now.

"I'm not getting involved!" she yelled back as I changed direction and headed towards my bedroom.

I just managed to reach my room, but before I had a chance to shut the door Clint slammed into me and I fell backwards onto the floor; hitting the back of my head on my bedpost on the way down. I hissed in pain and tears filled my eyes from the painful throbbing on my head.

"It was a joke, there's no need to get violent!" I exclaimed, shoving him off me as the pain got worse before standing up. "You can be a real arse sometimes Barton. It makes me question why I love you."

I slammed the door to my bathroom shut and locked it before climbing into the bathtub and holding my head in my hands as I pulled my knees up to my chest. A few tears leaked out of my eyes and started flowing faster as a knock came from the door.

"Cheyanne." Clint's voice sounded through the wooden door. "Open the door."

I stayed silent before quickly shutting the shower curtain to hide me from view as Clint came in after picking the lock. The curtain was pulled aside and I shuffled round so my back was to him, hearing him sigh. I watched from the corner of my eye as he got into the empty bath with me before looking away when he focused his attention on me.

"I'm sorry." He apologised. "I didn't mean for you to get hurt." I shrugged and felt him gently pull me closer until I was situated on his lap. "Talk to me please Cheyanne." I shook my head stubbornly and he sighed again. "Just don't hit me."

I frowned a little in confusion before his large hands cupped my face and made me look at him before kissing me softly. My eyes shot wide open and he pulled back, looking at me curiously. I continued staring at him, slightly dumbstruck and he shifted; looking a little uncomfortable.

"Why?" I managed to ask as he looked away from me.

"I thought that would have been obvious."

"You know I love you, so why did you think I'd reject you. It's not possible for me to do." I said quietly, making him look at me again. His hands moved up to cradle my face again and I felt his thumbs lightly run across my cheekbones, wiping the remaining tears away. Then he said something I'd never thought I'd hear him say.

"I love you too Cheyanne Williams."
