There was honestly nothing Clint would have changed about this encounter -- only that it was worth every moment of leaving behind everything that he knew and everything that defined him just to see Bruce again. There was really know regrets in this situation as he shut his eyes. It was where Bruce and Clint differed. When it came to Phil, when it came to Bruce...there was not a single part of him that wasn't given over to them in those moments. Be it...just a hug. To something far more deeper or something as simple as a hug. Clint's hands didn't roam as they typically would have. His fists clenched onto the back of Bruce's shirt as if he was afraid that he would disappear and this was all just his imagination. Because he had dreams like this. Be it Bruce or Phil. There was always a moment of comfort before it was taken away from him once again.
He didn't move when Bruce broke the kiss, breathing in the small space between them as he still clung to him. Really...he thought he would have been used to being alone. To being let down, but it just hurt all the more when he thought he lost the love of his life. When he lost his best friend. He could have told Bruce anything without the fear of him looking at him like he was an idiot. He didn't want that to go away again.
"Hey, no...I saw...I know." Clint wouldn't have been able to deal if Phil had given him that look. Clint didn't blame Bruce at all as he smiled a bit. "C'mon, you have to admit. Me showin' up here out of the blue makes life more interestin', right?" Clint offered up, his smile brightening up a bit. In truth, Clint was terrified. After everything that had happened, he would have been lucky to see the sun again if, or when, SHIELD caught up with them. It showed in his eyes.
