FIC: and eat them for breakfast (PG, 1/2)ashen_keyAugust 13 2012, 11:14:44 UTC
A/N: This is all the fault of dictator_duck, and I shamelessly stole from her brain. Title comes from the Alfred A. Montapert quote, "expect problems and eat them for breakfast,” and Clint and Natasha are in an established open relationship.
and eat them for breakfast
“Tony Stark,” Clint announced as he walked into their suite at the Tower, “is a terrible person.”
It was Sunday morning, eight o'clock and overcast with it. Natasha was, in general, a fan of Sundays. She could sleep in until the decadent hour of seven, and doing things slowly on her appointed lazy day. Generally this meant that she had breakfast while reading a book for enjoyment. A book; no reports, only non-fiction it was not directly related to work, and it was a much needed indulgence.
Today's book was a German political thriller that had her giggling as she ate her museli. At least, she had been giggling; now she had paused, was watching her husband over the top of the book

“...when?”
“When you were sulking around in the New Mexico desert guarding Thor's hammer.” He gave her a flat look, and she finally closed her book. “Okay,” she said, more seriously. “You can't proposition Stark as we have to save the world with him, and sex runs the risk of throwing off the dynamics and causing emotional messiness. Which is against our rules.” She paused, then added, “And for god's sake, if you want to change the rules, could you choose someone better than Tony Stark.”
“Nah, the rules are fine,” Clint said, sounding like his normal self instead of a moping thirteen-year-old. Then he paused, glanced at her. “If this is a sign you want me to seduce Captain America, it ain't happening, Nat.”
“...what? Hell no.”
“Good. Because...he's a kid. A very old kid, but he's a kid

OMG this tickled me to NO END this morning. This could be a conversation between me and my husband, seriously. (Except he's straight, so it would be about a girl, but still.) Absolutely sweet and hilarious.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, so glad you liked! *dances* I had a lot of fun with it, and it solidified how Nat and Clint work with one-night stands and such (noooooooo coworkers!) and Clint totally finds Tony hot. Tony is his type. Too much for another more than a one-night stand, though. Anyway.
