It came out more gentle and thankful than teasing, the memory of the last night's crisis still very present. Clint rested his chin on Natasha's shoulder and held her just a little closer to him, silently letting her know how glad he was that she had been there. They didn't often cuddle like that, mostly because he liked it better to watch her face, see what was going on in her eyes usually. She felt small and soft in his arms like that, swallowed by his broader frame, and still she was the one always so much stronger than him. He couldn't help but wonder if he would ever achieve such a firm mental balance. Somehow he doubted it.
He didn't let a treacherous sigh come past his lips but forced his mind on the evolving battle on the screen instead, chuckling from time to time at especially silly move. The fancy vehicles that couldn't be missing in any Bond movie were much more interesting.
"I want one", he commented, grinning, when Bond had his race against his villain with some kind of snow jet ski. "Could have used one of these in Greenland couple of years ago. It's a miracle I'm not missing certain body parts after a few weeks out there."
