[ would you be up for something with these two? in an au where clint doesn't have a family, i GUESS... 'cause steve isn't a homewrecker, man ]

[eyeofthehawk]

[Totally up for it and yes, set in the normal canon where Clint has an ex-wife and no kids would be good.]

[eyeofthehawk]

[Maybe this was what he was doing during Winter Soldier, keeping an eye on Jen.]

[fulfilment]

[ sweet! maybe clint could've been watching over steve those months after he'd come out of the ice, but then the habit just stuck and now he watches over him even when steve doesn't need it any more?

and steve notices, of course, and then SHENANIGANS ]

[eyeofthehawk]

[Taking over from Coulson's creepy, fanboy watching. I can see that happening and him pouting when he was assigned to watch over the Tesseract.

Sounds good to me, if you're willing to set something up.]

[fulfilment]

[ absolutely! i'll have a starter up in a bit. quick question, though, are cw spoilers okay? ]

[eyeofthehawk]

[CW spoilers are okay, had to update a couple of Clint's icons because of his goatee.]

bless that goatee, honestly... let me know if you need anything changed!

Clint's a good ally, needless to say. He isn't an Asgardian, he doesn't have a special suit, and he doesn't shift into something superhuman when faced with dastardly emotion--but he's just as good as all of them, if not more incredible, and Steve admires him for it. There's no way he couldn't.

It's been a long time since their first battle as the Avengers, though the Chitauri have yet to leave the recesses of Steve's mind. It's been a while since Ultron, too, though the images stick longer than they should. After the accords, after Bucky's freezing, after everything, sometimes Steve wishes he could rest, but even then the constitution of his mind refuses to let him do something as simple as that. He knows without a shadow of a doubt that he ought to be looked after, but he doesn't worry about it too much. Without him even having to say so he knows someone's watching for his well-being as that someone's done for years; it's easy to tell when he isn't alone now that he knows his watcher well.

It's just the first time Steve's actually sought him out.

Stopping in the middle of his morning run, Steve feels a familiar set of eyes on him. If it were anyone else it'd be uncomfortable, but as it is all he feels is the familiarity associated with the concept of guardian angels. He doesn't know where Clint is hiding (he never could find him), but he knows that he's here.

"You know," he starts, voice loud enough in the atmosphere of Wakandan early morning to drown out the birds, "maybe for once you could actually run with me this time, Barton. It's been a long time coming."

[eyeofthehawk]

Clint thought he knew about the Super Soldier he had been watching over for years, the stories he had constantly heard from Phil Coulson about the extraordinary man were not down played as he kept a close eye on the blond man running right under him.

The archer wasn't exactly sure when he had become attached to Captain Rogers, it must have been a very recent thing as that fact hadn't been used against him during the Chitauri attack but there was something about the other man that Clint had become enamored about. Was this the true reason that had brought him out of his retirement to fight by Steve's side or was it just the fact that he believed that everyone deserved a second chance like he had been given and he had given to Natasha?

There were a lot of new things to turn his eyes to within the hidden country of Wakanda but still the younger man's steel-blue eyes followed the running man, making sure that he was safe or so Clint told himself before he was called out of his hiding spot within the trees.

"If Sam has a hard time keeping up with you, what make's you think I can Cap?" he asked before skillfully jumping down from his high perch, landing gracefully on his feet. "Not all of us are Super Soldiers, y'know."

[Just to let you know if it comes up, I play my Clint with hearing aids as I am a bit of a comic book fan.]

!!! nice!! i love comic clint just as much as mcu clint; i think hawkeye's the only comic i've read

[fulfilment]

Clint lands as gracefully as Steve knows him to, and the sight of him has his lips quirking in a small smile. It's strange, really, having known Clint was there all this time and only now feeing some sort of shyness about it. It's not like Steve has anything to hide any more, now that he thinks about it, but there's something relieving about that he can't quite put his finger on.

"I'm pretty aware of my status, but thank you for the reminder." A small tip of his head belies some kind of grace in the situation, but the smile that's yet to leave Steve's face (along with the light note of teasing in his voice) probably speaks volumes about how he's trying to be at least a little amusing, here. "Super Soldier or not, though, there're still a lot of things you can do that I can't in a million years, so don't sell yourself short." A pause. "Not that you can sell yourself tall."

They've spoken many times before, definitely. It comes with the whole "being in a team" thing, after all. But there's something very private about an early morning spent outside--Steve supposes that it's because it's the first time he knows for sure no-one will come to interrupt them.

"I won't go all out, I promise," he says, hands resting on his waist as he shifts his weight from left foot to right. "I just want to run with you this morning, if you'll let me."

crossover or... wait, KH crosses over with everything, so probably crossover? or can give KH AU,

[undercherryblossoms]

[because I already have one. So, your choice.]
