Clint drops his duffel bag on the floor with a sigh. It’s been a long day. He’s ready to melt into the couch and sleep forever.
The safe house is new. State of the art security, motion detectors, cameras, the whole nine yards. He’s not worried.
Apparently his partner is, as she ducks into each room with her gun drawn before returning to the living room. He’s already scrolling through places to deliver food. To anyone else, they would look like a couple staying for a vacation.
“It’s clear.” He hums an agreement. “You want to check?”
“You just did.” She frowns, slipping her gun back into the holster. It’s one of their first missions, and unlike him, she’s finding it hard to relax.
“What are you doing?”
“Looking at menus. Italian or Thai? Can’t decide.”
“We’re on a mission.”
“Yeah. And we’re stuck here for the night and I’m hungry, so pick something, fire up the laptop, and we can spend all night stuffing our faces and watching Mr. Creepface on the video feed.”
XXXXX
She’s been quiet for way too long now, and it’s starting to grate him. Still, he’s a sniper. He can be patient. Ignoring her, he eats another mouthful of pasta, eyes on the screen in front of them.
“You didn’t clear the house.”
“You did.”
“You didn’t.”
“Because you did,” he repeats patiently, looking over. He’s not sure what she’s getting at, but she wouldn’t have brought it up if it wasn’t important.
“I’m not even cleared for solo missions yet.”
“I doubt you need me to teach you how to clear a safehouse, so why don’t you just tell me what the problem is?”
It comes out harsher than he means it, and she turns back to the video feed.
“You just.. took my word for it.”
“Yeah.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re my partner and I trust you.” They both fall silent, something heavy sitting in the air that he can’t quite place. It’s late at night before he finally switches off the screen. “Time for bed,” he mumbles, stretching.
“I’ll wake you at six.”
“You will not.”
“I’ll make coffee first.”
“Slightly better. I’ll see you in the morning.”
“You’re not..?” She waves a hand toward the hallway, indicating the bedroom on the other end.
“One bed. You can take it. I’m fine on the couch.”
“It’s a king.”
“Lots of room for you then.”
“You’re too tall for the couch. I’m not listening to you complain all day about your back.”
“Seriously, it’s-“
“I trust you,” she blurts out. He blinks, and she takes a deep breath and tries again. “You are my partner and I trust you. I know you won’t hurt me.”
It’s a big step, and he knows it, so he’s careful to keep his voice and expression soft.
“Okay.”
“Okay.”
They change quickly and settle into bed, a comfortable distance between them, and he doesn’t want to admit it, but she’s probably right about his back.
“Hey Clint?”
“Mmm?”
“You snore and I’m pushing you off.”
He snorts out a laugh, pulling the blanket up to his shoulders.
“Same goes for you, Princess.”
He probably deserves the pillow she throws at his head.

Fastest weirdest box I've done yet. My part of a collab with @septerhed by unionstation. Finished this in an hour and a half. It was an interesting day, watched a guy make a meth bong, then he tried to sell us an 8 inch knife, but assured us it was legal. LA, get your shit together! #electricalbox #publicart #ebox #korsept #dtla #unionstation #korsen #jenniferkorsen #septerhed #streetart #lastreetart #mural #montanacans #montana94 #creepface #bluelips #laart #laartist

since you all know i’m in florida, a storm update for me: they finally set the evacuation zones for dorian and i’m not in one this time which is very nice for me because the cats have just barely gotten back to normal after the creepface’s surgery so at least i don’t have to upset that balance
BUT i will lose power and internet probably tuesday night/wednesday morning so don’t worry if i drop off the digital plane for several days, long enough that my queue may run out and i def won’t be responding to messages. i’m not in a high priority zone so my power may not be back until the weekend but i’m okay
