Time stretched on but Natasha didn’t seem to notice. Yesterday had been one of the most emotionally exhausting days in recent memory, but now as they held each other it wasn’t painful and awkward, nor was the silence uncomfortable. Things would change, she knew that, but for now they seemed to have found their balance again, that indescribable thing that made them work so well together.
When Clint finally stirred Natasha smiled at his laughter even as she felt him wince against her. Leaning back to meet his eyes she brushed on hand through his hair, over his cheek, along his jaw. She returned his kiss and part of her wanted to lose herself in it, but once again his focus was on her needs and well being. At least he wasn’t too quick to get rid of her, as she was content to stay in his arms a little longer.
“How about I get some water and you get into bed and then I’ll try to work out some of this damage you’ve done?” she replied with a small smile and the barest hint of that familiar twinkle in her eye. She wouldn’t tease him too much for pushing himself too hard because this wasn’t just him being bored or competitive. She knew why he had done it and she couldn’t be hard on him for that. It was as much her fault as his.
