I Thought You Were (ClintxReader) One-Shot

"You have to admit though that the sweets that come out on this holiday are amazing," Clint said as he too stuffed chocolate cake in his mouth.

You took another bite and with a shy grin said, "Yeah but if we don't stop this soon then we are so gonna get fat from this."

"I really wouldn't care," Clint shrugged. 

"Yeah but I do."

"Why?" He looked at you confused. "You'll always look beautiful to me."

You were shocked to hear his words and before you could respond, Clint's phone rang and he answered it. It was Fury who was calling him in for a quick mission so Clint had to leave right away before your boss decided to run all over the Tower looking for him. Clint smiled at you before taking another bite of the chocolate cake you had bought and quickly left your room. Now you were left just dumbfounded and sitting in your room wondering if Clint had meant what he said. If you thought of him as just a friend, then you would have brushed this off. But you didn't. You wanted to be more then friends with him. When you first saw him, you almost immediately got a crush on him. Now whenever he laughs, you laugh, whenever he looks upset you try to cheer him up and when he smiled at you, it made your heart race. You were never quiet sure though if he liked you back though. There was a reason why but perhaps you were just mistaken, that's all. 

~~~~~~

The next week, Clint had come back from his mission and just in time for Valentine's Day too. It was actually just tomorrow and you found yourself wondering who your Valentine would be. Some of your co-workers had asked you but you only thought of them as friends or really annoying jerks who just wanted to get into your pants. You figured that if you didn't have a Valentine, well then fine. It wasn't like the world was going to end. You just couldn't help but feel a little depressed though when you saw happy couples hand-in-hand walk past you though. It made you feel left out in a way. 

You walked down the halls and ran into Clint who was chatting with Natasha. When he saw you, he told her goodbye and went to talk to you. 

"Hey, (Name)," He smiled. "So did I miss anything this week?"

"Not really except for lame guys trying to ask me out so that they can get a one-night stand," You joked.

He frowned. "Well it's good that you said no to them. Besides, you should spend Valentine's Day with someone special. You know like—"

"(NAME)!" A very panicked looking Tony Stark suddenly burst into the halls from one of the labs. "CALL FURY!"

"Uh why?" You asked confused.

The sound of glass breaking followed by a loud roar confirmed that it was Bruce who had Hulked out due to a very stupid billionaire that just loved to push someone's buttons. With a sigh, you nodded, understanding what had happened. You turned to Clint with an apologetic look in your eyes.

"Sorry, I have to take care of this. We'll talk later, okay?" You smiled weakly at him.

"Yeah...later," He nodded.

He walked away while you turned to Tony with your hands on your hips. You grabbed his ear and proceeded to drag him away while other agents rushed to the lab to get the Doctor to calm down.

"Ow!" Tony whined. "Where are we going?" 

"To Fury's office so that you can explain what happened," You huffed, still dragging him by the ear.

~~~~~~~

It was now officially Valentine's Day and you were already sick of it. Pink and purple colors everywhere as well as every women in the headquarters wearing red and receiving flowers from admirer's. You sat at your desk, shooting anyone a death glare who so much as dared to step near you so that they could show off what they received from someone. You had some paper work to do anyways. After everything was filed, you got up to go to lunch. You sat at your usual spot and were surprised when Clint sat with you. He usually ate lunch later. 

"'Sup buttercup," He grinned at you. 

"Hey," You beamed, starting to feel a little better today. 

He played with a napkin, tearing it to pieces. "So...um (Name), I was wondering. If it's not too late, do you want to be my Valentine and go out to dinner with me later?"

"....Eh?" was all you could say, your eyes wide and a blush on your cheeks. "But I thought....I thought that...."

"Thought what?" He said confused. 

You rubbed the back of your neck sheepishly. "Well to be honest I thought that you were gay or something."

"........Are you serious?" Clint asked deadpanned, giving you the "come on" look.

"Thing is," You laughed nervously. "I always see you with Widow and she's a very attractive female and from what I heard, you two haven't done it all. Plus, Tony tells me that he's pretty sure you have no love life and are basically married to the job. So I figured that you were gay or something."

He flicked your forehead. "You're lucky that you're cute or else I would be mad at you now. For your information," He grinned. "I don't like girls like Natasha. She's too....uptight for lack of a better word. Tony is an idiot who always gets his information wrong because I do sorta have a love life or at least want one...."

"With...?" You asked shyly. 

"You of course," He smirked. "So will you be my Valentine?"

You leaned over the table and gave him a peck on the lips. "Of course I would."
