It had gotten harder and harder to leave her over the years, but having Loki mess with his head had just about done him in. He had spent a long time afterwards with nightmares, a long time worrying that he wasn’t fixed, that something would happen and flip a switch, or that the god would return for him. Natasha reminded him who he was, she made him feel like he was still worth of trust. She had helped assuage his guilt, had been there for him whenever she could, but she had had work to do and every mission she was sent on tore him apart a little inside.
Now they had both lost everything they had known and all they could really trust was each other. He knew the kind of codependency he was feeling wasn’t healthy, but they had only just found each other again. It would fade, things would get better, so what harm could there really be in indulging in that comfort for now?
Clint closed his eyes at her fleeting kisses and when he opened them again there was no mistaking her look. Hesitating only a second longer he took a step backwards.
Keeping his arms around Natasha he pulled her gently with him.
