[Her hand slows in his hair and slips back down to just settle on his shoulder. They've snuggled like this a million times, but in recent years it's always been after sex. There's something about this that makes it different that crawls up under her ribcage in a weird feeling of contentment that she's afraid to break.]
He was mostly concerned about the concept of having multiple hulks when I said Red Hulk.
[ She shrugs as much as she can with her face still on his chest. It's kind of a weird way to do it but whatever works. That jailbreak was fun though, a whole group of badass women, it made Bobbi think that maybe teams weren't really so bad again.]
I thought it might be a little much to ask if him if was a member of Hydra on first meeting but let's hope not.
( for a few moments, he's not really listening to her. sure, the words are there and they half-register — concern, multiple, hulks — but his attention is more on her, the shape of her mouth as she speaks, the feeling of her voice, the warmth of her breath. )
You'll give the old man a heart attack if you ask that and he's not. ( a pause, lingering and contemplative. that whole PERIOD OF TIME hadn't been especially fun, but— ) So when you do it, you've gotta promise to only do it when I'm around to see it, please.
( because it's a slightly better topic than, say, bruce or cho. given everything. )
[Let's be honest. No time in their lives has been especially fun and Bobbi realizes they're dodging landmines left and right no matter where they move the conversation to. Which is probably why they mostly just fuck anyways. She gives him a soft laugh at the last comment though.]
Pinky promise. [She tells him sweetly even though she knows she will absolutely not be being the one broaching that topic. No, no, that's all to be left for Sharon because let's be honest that's her fish to fry. She hums softly for a moment, her mind clearly flashing through some of their own relationship before asking.]
You think if we ask Aurora we can get a bigger bathtub? These ones are stupid tiny.
( he knows, ultimately, that neither of them are likely going to be the ones to broach that whole topic. even if sharon wasn't here, it's not what clint would lead with, and now he's met nat, it's definitely not what clint would lead with. at this point, he's not sure what he'd start with, if the myriad of differences are anything to go by.
maybe it's a conversation just better not had at all. (he knows that's not true.) (but he knows enough, too, to not expect anything.)
it's autopilot, then — more-or-less, at any rate — that has him sliding back on the sofa to sit not quite up, but enough to be looking down at bobbi more than he had. ) —Mm? ( light, questioning, teasing. ) Who's this 'we', Birdie?
[She shifts a little bit so that she can look up at him from his chest and gives him a smile.]
Well I sure as hell am not wanting to crawl into a bath with anyone else here. [She says all fond at him and brings her hand up to paw a bit as his cheek fondly, teasing him right back.]
But I'm impartial as to whose apartment gets the upgrade. Can make use of either yours or mine.
[In some ways it feels like she's doing the wrong thing. Making the attention distinctly more flirtatious then it should be. Like they were trying so good to just cuddle and be normal. Yet there's nothing normal about either of them, and that quadruples when you put them together as a couple.
As long as Clint lets her cuddle with him, she's going to be taking him up on it because let's be honest. This is the closest she's felt to being real person since she's been here.]
