With something between a chuckle and a yawn on his lips, Clint turned to his side to pull Natasha back in his arms and maybe catch a few more minutes of sleep after all. It was still early...
The moment his hand touched her hip, though, he pulled it back and pushed himself up on one elbow, alarmed. He wasn't too surprised to see the side of her face just as pale as last night.
"And you're trembling", he said quietly, wide awake within seconds.
After last evening... that probably had to be expected. Natasha didn't seem to dream as frequently as him, but when she did, the pictures in her head were mostly bad. And when she didn't even wake him in a nightmare, when her body was so frozen in shock that he couldn't even feel her move... Then it had been one of the really bad ones.
She obviously wasn't in a mood to talk if she tried to hide it, so he didn't ask, just stayed close to her, with the last inches of safety distance between them. Shortly after such a bad journey to the past, with sleep still lingering in mind and body, it could very well happen she needed time to find back to reality alone. He hoped, it wasn't one of these mornings, though. After he had fucked up so badly yesterday and certainly had done his part to cause such a nightmare with it, he wanted to comfort her as much as possible.

"You with me, Tash'? Can I touch you?"
