Skye knew it probably made her terrible, that she didn’t want Clint to go with his brother, but she knew Barney didn’t want her to come along, and Clint was the closest thing she’d ever had to family. She didn’t want him to leave. She didn’t want to be alone again. 

As bad as she felt for even asking him, it was almost entirely smothered by the intense relief that washed through her when he turned to her and not only answered, but promised. No one had ever promised her that before, and Clint hadn’t ever lied to her. 

She was moving before even thinking about it, throwing her arms around him and burying her face against his front. “Thank you, Clint.”

Clint wrapped his arms around her, his head buried against hers, breathing her in as he closed his eyes, sighing a little as he let that breath out. Yeah. Maybe this was where he belonged. These were the people who treated him the best, weirdly enough when you’re talking about carnies.

( okay, maybe not all of them are great, but they weren’t putting him out on the street. )

And he loved his brother, he did. But him and Barney were different. They wanted different things, clearly. Barney was ready to be a soldier; Clint couldn’t do that. He couldn’t see himself as an army man.

But he could see himself here, by Skye’s side. That was the closest thing to a future he could see. Maybe when they were older they’d leave this place, find something normal, together, but not today.

"If you want to leave, you can. I'll remember you though. I remember everyone who leaves." { bc I have no chill and no we absolutely do not have too many threads and ily okay? }

He was playing with the arrow between his fingers, his back to Skye as he took in a deep breath.

See, part of him felt like he had to leave —  his older brother was leaving, finding something else for himself, and while of course he didn’t exactly have to go, it was his brother. But he was torn. Because another part of him wanted to stay here.

This circus was the closest thing to family he’s had in a while.

And he didn’t want to go somewhere he couldn’t take Skye with him.

He bit down hard on his lip and closed his eyes, letting out that breath before turning to her, smiling at her as he put the arrow down.

❛ Hey. I’m not going anywhere. Ever. I promise. ❜

❛ Hey. Are you okay? I heard this was a tough mssion and — — — ❜ And he hated that he wasn’t able to hang around base as often as he used to.

She knew that, logistically, mentally, but it did next to nothing to soothe her racing heartbeat or settle her nerves. She couldn’t help it, and that wasn’t Clint’s fault. 

Instead of saying that though, she tightened her hand on his and leaned into his side the slightest, matching her breathing to his in an attempt to regain control of herself. 

“I don’t know if I can do this.” It was soft, and she wondered if he even heard it.

image

Clint felt her grip tighten on his hand and turned his head a little just as she leaned against him. He bit down on his lip and squeezed her hand back, and for a moment he stopped walking, turning so he was with in front of her path.

“ I promise. SHIELD? They’re good guys. They might seem all — rough around the edges, but everyone here is good. We are fighting the good fight. You’ll be okay. ”

"You're so careful when I'm in your arms."

image

Do you expect me to be any different?

It was true though — — He was being extra careful as he had one arm wrapped around Skye, having just gotten back to SHIELD after a long mission. They both had their fair share of bumps and bruises from this one, and as far as he could tell, no immediate need to get to medical, so he walked her past the other agents, just trying to get away from everyone else

Like they used to do.

“I’m so scared…”

image

You don’t have to be.

He was holding on to her hand, his fingers laced between hers and squeezing them, letting her know that she was okay — she was safe. It was safe here, and he would make sure she knew that. No matter what, SHIELD was a safe place, and she shouldn’t be afraid of it.

— — — — I’m right here.

Your characterization is absolutely amazing and wonderful.
