theron09Drabbles for Deep Cover, totalling 301 words.
Clint’s not really sure where he stands with the rest of the Avengers when he first moves into the mansion with them. In fact, he’s not even really sure whether they want him to be calling himself an Avenger after everything that happened with Loki and the tesseract. Natasha trusts him, he knows, which is something, considering he doesn’t really even trust himself yet. Natasha says the others trust him too but, even so, he still thinks he sometimes catches one of them watching him and he wonders whether they’re unsure, whether they’re being cautious. He wouldn’t blame them at all.
~~
It’s the first hour after a mission is over that Steve hates the most. He constantly replays what they’ve done in his head, trying to find mistakes, work out what he could have done better. Once the hour is up, the others tend to snap him out of it but, until then, until they’ve cleaned themselves up and wound themselves down, he’s left with his own thoughts. The guilt, for Phil Coulson, for Bucky, for all of the others, is always there but during those hours it weighs even heavier still, reminding him of his failures. He hates it.
~~
Tony thinks Steve is funny. Or, rather, Tony thinks that teasing Steve is funny. When Tony catches Steve in the gym and flirts with him, makes him blush, it gives him this rush that he can’t really explain but it makes him laugh. It’s not until two months into the flirtation, when he gets more of a rush from getting to Steve but doesn’t laugh at all, that he realises that there’s something more there, something different. It’s surprising and worrying and most definitely not funny.
