If Phil had known that Clint would never allow any individual to be close to him like this, he would've expected a puzzled look on the other man's face. If Phil had known that Clint felt a sort of comfort in him that he didn't in anyone else, he might have looked at him a bit odd. But Phil didn't know. Clint trusted Phil because he had reached out to him when no one else would. Clint had met many people in his life. The only constant was the people at the circus and his brother. Everyone else was in and out of his life as quickly as he had met them. This was the first time there had ever been someone tangible that he felt a connection with. Someone he trusted (maybe he was a little infatuated with him), but Clint felt safe there. "I do trust you...stupid thing, you were the first one that came to mind." Even if it was with the half-baked idea that he could get Phil to shoot him.
He was silently glad he didn't. A part of him was, at least as he wrapped his arms around Phil. "Guess 'm stuck here, huh? I would go get my stuff...but I don't have anythin'. It helps, right?" He laughed a bit.
