Great, Barton. Clint silently cursed when he felt Natasha's back muscles tighten, remembering just a bit too late how careful he had to be with compliments around her. Although he had tried to form it the right way, some of her demons were just too strong in her soul, and after all these years he still didn't know his way around all of them.
He might as well try to fight them just another time then. He was not willing to let long gone and buried bastards in Natasha's past ruin this beautiful evening for her.
"Look at me, Tasha." He put the clothe back on the tub edge and rested his fingertips on her chin to turn her head, his arm gently curled around her waist again.
"When I say, you're perfect to me, that's what I mean. You're perfect to me because of all this..." He shortly nodded down her body and let his fingertips wander up and down her side. "...but mostly because of all you are here." His knuckles softly brushed her forehead. "There may not be the nicest person in there, but that doesn't matter to me. I'm not the perfect son-in-law for any mother either, you know. I love you with all you are and did, and you make me happy, just the way you are. This is what love is about for me. To be made for each other, not for anyone else."
