Clint's entire body felt numb. Like he wasn't even really in his body. He was laying in a field in the middle of nowhere just staring up at the sky. He remembered this. It was not long after he and Barney ran away to the circus. They were outside a farm town and Clint would lay in the grass at night and just count the stars. After his chores were done, of course. He smiled up at the sky. The moon was full and not quite at its full height. It was a beautiful night.

	Luna looked at him. "It is not your fault. They will be fine. The medical staff is doing very well." She said reassuringly, not sure if he meant he was sorry for the injury or for something else. "Are you thirsty?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Um....yeah, actually." He hadn't realized it until just then. "There should be some water around here..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just on the table. Luna got up and fetched it, careful and yet still somehow endearingly clumsy with the use of hands and thumbs. She brought it back over to the bed, leaning against the edge and being as close to Clint as she had in a very long time. "Here...do you need assistance?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cfbarton 2015-06-08 03:37 am UTC (link)
	"No, thank you." He took the glass and took a long drink from it before resting it in his lap. "Sit." He patted the bed. "We're friends, right? Or we used to be?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Stiffly, she sat with a nod. "Yes, we are friends," Luna said with a genuine smile. "I could never not be friends with you, Clint Barton. You have given me much." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I wish I could remember." He sighed. "We went to Disney World together. And you liked the giant mouse." He grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She giggled a bit, nodding. "Yes, we did." Luna looked away, then back at him. "I'll tell you, if you wish. I've avoided telling you so we might retain the lives we came here with on our second return. I did not want you to feel obligated." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cfbarton 2015-06-08 03:46 am UTC (link)
	"I want to know." He nodded, wincing slightly. "I have bits and pieces and I want to see if I can fill in the missing bits." He put his hand over hers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Luna looked at their hands, then nodded, and slowly, quietly, began to tell him all that she remembered. Her memory was not whole, either, but the relevant information was there. She even shared photographs from her phone so he might see. Then she went quiet and wait. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Clint listened carefully, looking at the pictures. He looked up at her after a few moments. "We were much more than friends." It was said more than asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mare_inthe_moon 2015-06-08 03:53 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, we were," Luna agreed with a nod. The last picture she gave over was of their happy wedding faces. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cfbarton 2015-06-08 03:57 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sorry I don't remember." He sighed, taking her hand and squeezing it gently. The only wife he had memories of was Laura. And their children. And a part of him hated that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mare_inthe_moon 2015-06-08 03:58 am UTC (link)
	"I don't want you to be sorry," Luna replied as she held his hand in her own. "I just want you to find happiness." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cfbarton 2015-06-08 04:00 am UTC (link)
	"Would it be possible for us to be friends again?" He tilted his head. If it would cause her pain, he'd understand. "And maybe....see if I remember things?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You were never not my friend, Clint Barton," Luna told the man with a smile. "I am sure you will remember in time." She wondered if his question held more meaning than that alone. She wasn't sure how she wanted to answer, either. Everything was so complicated and her feelings made no sense. These feelings were old and new all at once, and powerful. Her feelings for Sean were fascinating and joyful but not to be returned. And Harry, oh...sweet Harry, he was so different from any stallion she'd met...

	"When I'm healthy enough, would you like to spend some time together? Just have coffee or something?" He didn't quite meet her eyes, afraid of the answer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mare_inthe_moon 2015-06-08 04:07 am UTC (link)
	Despite her convoluted feelings, Luna didn't even hesitate in her answer. "I would like that very much." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cfbarton 2015-06-08 04:09 am UTC (link)
	Clint smiled. "I'm not sure when that's going to be but I will definitely give you a call." He chuckled a little. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I will do my best to remember how to pick up the telephone." she smiled back at him brightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cfbarton 2015-06-08 04:13 am UTC (link)
	He laughed, then winced a little. "That hurt a little more than I thought it would." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You should rest, Clint Barton. I will come to see you tomorrow." Luna slowly started to get up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cfbarton 2015-06-08 04:17 am UTC (link)
	"Luna. Thank you for being honest with me." He smiled. "I really appreciate it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course." The princess nodded, smoothing out her dress, and going quietly. She paused at the door and looked back at him before disappearing. (Reply to this) (Parent)
