Clint sighed as he looked at his phone. Yea, he was happy for them, but he couldnt help but feel sad as well.
It only reminded him of how alone he was.
Yea he had kate, but she was spending almost all her time with her girlfriend now adays, and he would never admit it but, he missed her.
Then his mind circled back to him.
The blond haired mold of perfection.
Clint internally cringed at himself, he was acting like a 16 year old. But he couldnt help it.
Clint could spend hours just staring at him, but what he really wanted was to be with him.
He wanted to hold his hand, to listen to him talk about litterally anything, he wanted to hold him, to fall asleep to sound of his breathing.
Clint closed his eyes, not even bothering to fight the smile that was creeping onto his face.
Suddenly his phone dinged.
Pietro: hey :)
Clint couldnt belive it pietro maximoff was texting him. The pietro maximoff.
The one who only barely survived taking a bullet for him.
The one whos smile was so contagious it should be classified as a virus.
The one whos soft laughter and blond hair haunted his dreamscapes.
Pierto maximoff.
And then the panic set in.
What if this was a prank or a joke?
What if he had found out of the way Clint felt about him? I mean his sister was a litteral mind reader, it wouldnt be that much of a streach.
What if he was here to tell him how disgusted that made him feel?
His phone dinged again.
Pietro: You up?
Clint took a deep breath and pressed reply.
Clint: Yea! Hey!
Two exclamation marks?
He had already ruined this had'nt he?
Pietro: Sorry if I woke you
Clint: No, I was already awake
Pietro: Oh ok
Pietro: It's just that y'know we hav'nt really talked at all and you seem like a cool guy, so I thought id reach out.
Cool guy? This eithereal being thought he was cool?
Clint did'nt need a mirror to know his face was on fire.
Clint: Thanks! You're pretty cool too
Pietro: Pretty cool huh?
Shit.
He blew it did'nt he.
Clint: I mean you're spectacular!
Spectacular?
What was wrong with him?
It's like we wanted to made this weird.
Pietro: well you're pretty spectacular too ;)
Clints breath caught in his throat.
He must have been grinning like an idiot.
Who knew a semi colon and a bracket could have such an effect on ol Hawkeye.
Pietro: well I should be going to bed
Clint: Yea me too
Pietro: Talk again soon?
Clint: Definenty
Pietro: Goodnight
Clint: Goodnight
Clint turned off his phone and smiled to himself.
He fell asleep like that, on top of the covers, hand clutching his phone.
His smile never wavering.
