Day #26: The Course of True Love
Quote:
“The course of true love never did run smooth.”
William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act I, Scene 1
Fandom: MCU

“Why are you so sure that they’re in love?” Clint asked Natasha. “All they do is argue and insult one another.”
Natasha looked at like he was stupidest man alive. “That is why.”
”You lost me.” Clearly women saw love very differently from men.
“They have so much passion when they argue. Have you ever seen Steve turn all those colors of pink and red when he argues with anyone else but Stark?”
“Maybe they just don’t like each other.”
“Tell you what. You follow them, spy on them for a few days and come back and tell me what you see.”
“We need a wager to make it more fun.” He was sure that Natasha was wrong this time.
“A bottle of Stoli and tell me how you met Laura if I win,” she said with a grin, that grin she got when she was sure she was right.
“You can wash my clothes for a month if I win and polish my arrows.”
“Fat chance but ok.”
Clint was very good at lurking and watching. He watched for days and saw nothing. Steve and Tony argued over a mission. They ignored one another for three days. They argued over what movie to watch on movie night. They argued over something nearly every day. Some were simple and soon done and some turned into near fights. But no love that he could see. There was a lot of mumbling and grumbling on both men’s part.
He was very confident that he wouldn’t have to wash clothes for a long time. He was smiling when he went to the laundry room to taunt Natasha. She said that was where she’d be. He opened the doors and his jaw dropped. He stood transfixed as he saw Tony sitting on a washing machine completely naked. Standing in front it of him and the machine, also naked, was Steve. It was quite obvious what they were doing.
He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He backed out of the room as quietly as he could and looked at the text on his screen.
Told you! I’m out of vodka, too.
