Who: All the town kids who want in
What: Hot Tub Party
Where: Tony's house
When: Today

This place was great, his dad wasn't around and he didn't have classes or tutors or anything to bother him. And he had a house full of bots and his pokemon, it was quite possibly the coolest place he'd ever been and people were coming over, it was gonna be a party!

Sure he didn't do much in the way of planning but he had his fridge full of cheese and there were drinks everywhere and Dum-E would totally make juice if people wanted it, it seemed to be about all he could do but Tony loved him and he was glad to have him there.

And well .... it was gonna be cool, he'd never had a party before, not with kids his own age so he was ready and he was antsy kind of pacing a little bit while he waited for people to show up. And just when he thought he had it all ready Tony realized there was one thing left he needed and quickly found a piece of paper and some tape scribbling a hasty note and taping it outside on his door.

Come on in! It's party time.
No adults allowed!!!

It wasn't like Clint didn't like it. He just wasn't sure how to process it all. But it was pretty darn nice to just hang around people his own age, particularly since everyone seemed really nice. It really woulda ruined a lot of his mood to have to get into a fight -- especially since the odds were he wouldn't win. That didn't stop him, of course, but it did kinda suck sometimes.

But she seemed nice. Definitely not like someone who was gonna make fun of him or start a fight. "Hi," he repeated with a toothy smile. "I'm Clint." Natasha. It felt so familiar and good, like he knew her already and was positive he liked her. Maybe not the same way he was positive he liked Bucky, but close. "It is fun," he agreed, bobbing his head up and down. "But it's loud. I think parties are supposed to be loud though."

Clint. That name was familiar, so familiar, like an ache in some deep and desperate part of her that she didn't know what to do with it. But looking at him, with that silly smile on his face, Natasha knew she liked him, that she'd keep him safe if she had to. But it was a party, they were having fun, they didn't have to do anything like that.

"It is loud," She agreed with his assessment, "Sometimes they're loud, I've seen quiet ones before." She admitted though, but that wasn't really the kind of party you had fun at, "I think that's the kind adults have." She told him, "Do you want to go see the hot tub?" She asked. "It might be quieter up there?" She added, because she didn't think he liked how loud it was, it had to be bothering him if he mentioned it, right? At least that was what she guessed.

Clint didn't care for the idea of a quiet party -- it wasn't like he didn't want this one to be loud, after all. That meant that everyone was having fun. He just thought it was pretty hard to focus because it was all happening at once in his head. Which was lame. But it'd have been worse to not hear anything at all.

Still, he smiled - somewhere between shy and lopsided - when Natasha offered to go check out the hot tub. Because that seemed pretty cool and he wasn't sure if he'd ever seen one before that wasn't on TV. "Yeah," he agreed, "Let's go see."

Natasha's red, red hair was a beacon, but he woulda found the way up to the roof anyway even if he wasn't following her, he thought. It just helped. And it was quieter up here on the roof -- the music not really reaching the open air and there were just less people. So Clint let himself exhale in relief before turning to really inspect the bubbling water. "Wow," he decided, duly impressed -- and then a little embarrassed with himself for not even having thought to pretend he was cooler than this in front of a new prospective friend.

Steve was cute in that sort of earnest eager way of his, but Clint was something else entirely. She liked it when he smiled like that - he seemed nice, familiar and nice the way so many people here did, in a way that said she knew them but she still couldn't really place how. But at this point she'd stopped asking and just accepted it. Introducing herself when she needed to and running with that familiar feeling when she didn't.

She lead the way, up the stairs to the hot tub that she'd heard plenty about more than a little impressed by it, up on the roof like this, and so big. She peered over the edge of the tub into the bubbling water, it was very cool. And she even nodded at Clint's assessment, wow was absolutely right.

"Why does he have the only one?" She wondered, curious about that almost more than she was of the hot tub itself. "I live with Tony and he doesn't even have one." Which felt even more strange, if anyone should have one it should be him, but why him exactly she didn't know. It just seemed right.

Clint didn't know why Tony -- the kid one, not that other one that he hadn't met yet -- was the only one with a hot tub, but he didn't really think to question it either. It didn't seem like the sort of thing that he would ever have personally and so he didn't think into it much further than that. "My house has three floors," he said, like that possibly explained something (It didn't).

Still, he pulled his shirt off and tossed it aside without much deliberation at all and then chucked his shoes and socks off too. Because if someone had a hot tub, he was sure as heck gonna try it out. "Maybe everyone's just got something different. You wanna go in?"

Three floors was more floors than some of the other houses she'd seen, so that was something different too. Maybe Clint wasn't wrong about everyone having something different. She probably wouldn't choose a hot tub if she got to pick something, but she didn't know what she'd pick either. She'd think about it, and she could talk to Tony about it later, he'd know better why this Tony had the hot tub, and maybe he could help her find something too.

As for trying it out? Well why not? They were here, Tony had bragged about it they should try it. She pulled off her socks and shoes and hiked her dress up a little bit, she didn't have to get all the way in she thought. She could sit on the edge and try it fine. "Just a little bit." She decided, "I don't want to get all wet." She admitted. Even if it was tempting, she was already thinking about walking back home dripping wet and didn't think she'd like that.

"S'okay," Clint said stepping into the tub with all the bubbling going on -- but not sitting yet because it was hot and he wanted to get used to it first. If that was possible. He wasn't sure he'd ever been in a tub this hot, and he didn't really know what he'd been expecting because it wasn't like it was a swimming pool or anything. "I'm not gonna go in forever or super deep," he went on, "I'm not supposed to get my ears wet for long."

Still, he splished a little and splashed until he was plopping himself down next to Natasha. It had been easy to decide that they should be fast friends, he didn't know why -- it just felt like it made sense. "You wanna play twenty questions?"

It wasn't like a real tub, not like a bath at least - but it was kind of neat, she thought of the hot tub. She'd have probably liked it more if she let herself get in all the way, maybe she'd do that later. Not today, she liked sitting on the edge though, the bubbles felt nice around her legs and she swished her feet back and forth a little while Clint splashed around a little bit before he'd decided he'd had enough and joined her.

He was silly, maybe a little goofy, but in a way that she liked she thought. And as he sat with her she decided they were going to be very good friends. She nodded eagerly at his request for a game, "Yeah, I'll go first." She said thinking of something that she could use before she decided on her new favorite thing Lucky Charms. Happy to play with Clint and just enjoy the party.
