Guests are greeted by a trail of rose petals to lead them to the rooftop. With the sun setting, the view across the harbor would be magnificent, and a perfect backdrop to an elegantly displayed table. There are various platters of charcuterie, wine bottles dotting the side tables, and an open bar at the back. Side tables are placed in comforting nooks, and there is ample seating for all.

Smells of various meats cooking on the barbeque waft through the air, and the host himself will be manning one of them. Contrary to popular belief, Thor can cook. After all, a warrior who cannot feed himself quickly becomes thin.

Welcome to all. Thor hopes you all enjoy your evening, and if things become messy, please -- seek your host. He will happily find you a space to relax and wind down if required. The last thing he wants is hurt feelings.

When Clint asked what was the last thing she remembered, Nat closed her eyes. No, this wasn't about her. She wasn't here t be fixed. She was here for him. Always for him.

"The usual. Bad guys trying to kill us.... Except..." She stopped.

It was easy to fall back into those flashbacks. Into watching Bucky turn to dut. Wanda screaming for Vision, her and Steve left there to watch their friends turn to dust.

Her entire frame suddenly tenses up.

	Just as suddenly, Clint was propped up on his side with his free hand grasping her shoulder. "What is it?" (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	When Clint touched her shoulder, she snapped out of it. "We lost." Is all she said as she came to look straightforward." And people started turning to dust around us." She said as her fist balled up tightly. (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	His hand sprang back as if burned and went instead to his temple. "No… no, no." If the dust was real, then it might have… he shook his head violently as if trying to wake up. (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Clint...Clint...Clint open your eyes" Nat said with urgency as she held him by the shoulders to look at her. This is why she kept things to herself, but this was Clint, and she couldn't keep things from him...Well, she did keep one thing from him. (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	He did; his eyes met hers. He moved his hand to touch her face. "My brain's falling out, Nat," he muttered. "Is this real? Are you real?" (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

Mirror lives… side by side… or maybe one only existed there and was now supplanted…

He had to see Nat do something, hear her say something, he could never make up on his own; wouldn't live in his own brain.

He tried to think of Laura. But all he could see was Natalya.

Slowly, leaving her plenty of time to clock him if she didn't want him to, he moved to kiss her.

	Nat had plenty of time to hit him. Shove him and see what the hell he was thinking. But she didn't. Instead, she found herself tilting her head and letting him, her best-friend kiss her. (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

This was a stupid test. He had imagined kissing her. He'd imagined it so many ways, so many days, ever since they met.

…But the reality was nothing like any of his imaginings.

That she'd bend for him… what her mouth actually felt like… that their hands would be gentle on one another's faces…

No, he hadn't imagined any of that.

He would break the kiss if she didn't. But not for a long… long moment.

	in truth, Nat always made it seem like love was a weakness. Because it was, so was it really a surprise to see that Nat's biggest weakness was Clint? No one noticed, or put the pieces together. No one, except Loki. Slowly, she came to pull from his lips finally, as her nose brushed against his,"...Clint..." (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	He pulled his head back instantly in response, his hand just withdrawing from her skin, hovering nearby. "I'm sorry…" (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Don't be." She replied softly as she licked her lips. The taste of his mouth still lingered. (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't be because she understood he was a crazed mess so she pitied and/or forgave him, or because she actually…? With a hesitance no one else in this world, at least, would ever see, Clint touched Nat's face again. (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe it was wrong of her to let him kiss her. Maybe she was thinking of her own selfish needs for once. Whatever the case was when Clint touched her face, Nat found herself leaning in to kiss him again. (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her initiative unlocked him. He met the kiss, slipping his hand now from her cheek to her red hair. His fingers were cut and calloused from years of arrows, guns, and knives, but they flowed like water under her hair to cradle the back of her head. His other hand gently moved to rest on her ribs.

	Was this really happening? How many nights had she fantasized about this, for a moment like this with him? But things always got in the way. Even now, things were in the way. But none of them were going to let this moment go to waste. Slowly she pulled from the kiss as emerald eyes came to stare at Clint's for the moment.

He pulled away too, also slowly this time, and met her eyes with his gray ones.

"Yeah?"

It was what they'd played at when he first recruited her, with so many ulterior motives, understanding from the start it was code, assessment, not feelings.

But the feelings had been there after all, all along.

Part of him dreaded the time of getting back to their place—the chance for introspection, possibly for his memory to flip again, from the Barton whose whole life was only Tasha and SHIELD to the one of that dream-turned-nightmare…

So that was an argument for taking the time. If by the time they got there, the moment faded… it was probably best to let it.

But he would put money on there being a real chance, for once, of it not.
