Sep. 16th, 2013 03:06 amClint didn't sleep great last night. Natasha was jetlagged, so she claimed the couch, and he woke up a couple times wondering if that's really why she did it. If Natasha's uncomfortable sharing a bed, that should be fine -- she's full capable of making her own decisions. But... he didn't mean her to think she wasn't welcome.
("Do you want to see me?" she'd asked, as if he might actually say no.)
It's stupid. He gets over it.
-
Clint doesn't concentrate that well at work, either. The coffee doesn't seem to be helping as much as it should be, and what they're currently doing isn't strategy-oriented, it's just... the standard stuff.
Clint likes the standard stuff (when it's not expense reports), but it's not exactly engaging.
The intra-office chat client on his computer blinks after lunch (he didn't really eat lunch).
"Clint," Beamon writes. "I can hear you stressing."
Clint looks down at his hands, which are completely still, and can see what she means. Metaphorically.
"Take the lady to the zoo or something. We have three meetings Monday, and I need you on the ball."
He acknowledges the message, and packs up his stuff.
-
Clint has a cigarette in the area just outside the doors before he leaves, because these days in San Diego he can basically only smoke here and on the roof of his apartment, and he's pretty sure the last one might be illegal.
After that, he buys a hot dog, and sits on a bench as he thinks about whether or not he should head back. Natasha might not want him there.
It's his house.
He goes back for his car.
