When Kitty had asked if Clint wanted to come over to her place tonight, there'd been no hesitation in Clint saying yes. The fact that she was even talking to him, let alone still telling him she loved him was seriously surprising, and Clint wasn't going to do anything to mess that up again.

You know, relatively soon.

The flowers had gone over well, but Clint still had some cupcakes with him as he let himself into the apartment, just in case. "Kitty?" he called out, making sure to make enough noise that she'd know he was there.

[For the girlfriend!]

Apparently sincere apologies plus unexpected gestures plus perspective of "Is it better or worse than that time my ex beat up my boyfriend in a fit of jealous rage and I forgave him and we all had to be on a team together?" made things easier. Who knew.

"Right here," Kitty called from where she was putting things away in the kitchen.

"Yeah, just cleaning up a little," she said, closing the cabinet and turning back towards him. "You brought chocolate?"

"...You're doing good," she decided, taking the box to check them out. Here she thought the flowers on her coffee table would be all for today. "The spoiling is definitely appreciated. Thank you."

"Yeah. I put them to work prepping for speeches, so it was pretty quiet," she said, offering him a cupcake. "And then I got flowers, so overall it was better than expected."

Date: 2014-03-04 04:21 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (doing just fine)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"They really are," Kitty agreed. "You really didn't have to do all this, you know. I mean, I love that you did..."

"I'm not going to say there's not still work to do," she said, "but you were upfront about it. And when you're as sorry as I know you are, I don't exactly expect you to make the same mistake again."

The way he made up for screwing up tended to say as much as him never screwing up at all, she figured.

throughaphase: (i have interest)

"It's Fandom. We're freakish like that here," Kitty said, licking off some of the frosting from her cupcake. "You got a crash course in werewolf?"

throughaphase: (i approve)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
Aww. Did she look proud of him? Because she really was.

"That's definitely good," she agreed. "And really, they're not bad. Would I want to tangle with one on a bad day in the middle of a fight? No, but they're really just people."

"They're not all decent. But neither is every mutant or normal human," Kitty said. "Derek... I don't know. When he and I get into it, usually it gets left alone until he's ready to act like nothing happened. I'm not sure how long that would even take here."

Especially when she had no idea how long Derek was going to be mad at her even.

"At the very least, maybe avoid each other till he's figured out the adjusting to being an alpha thing? Give him some time to calm down," Kitty suggested. "What do you mean about him pretending he didn't do anything? About Peter?"

Date: 2014-03-04 03:21 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (okay well)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"That's what I'm guessing. And Derek doesn't rally have much in the way of family these days, even before that." Thanks, Kate. "It's a terrible situation all around."

Date: 2014-03-04 04:11 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (serious)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"Yeah. Though he doesn't really seem to want to deal with me right now, so I'm going to steer clear for a little while," she said. "I don't want to make things worse."

Date: 2014-03-04 05:20 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (just been working)

"I went to see how he was and he apparently thinks I only went because of my own guilty conscience and to make excuses for you," Kitty shrugged. "I didn't go there to fight, so I left."

Date: 2014-03-04 06:25 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (definitely listening)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"I mean, I don't think I was making excuses, but I can see where it'd come off that way," she said. "But it's not like I haven't tried to be there for him every time there was a problem for like a year and a half, so."

Date: 2014-03-04 08:47 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (going over there now)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"I try on that front," Kitty admitted. She really didn't like the experiences where she'd made someone not trust her, so it was best to avoid them. "He was coming off a rough time, though, and I don't know how much the alpha thing plays in. We'll see what happens."

Date: 2014-03-05 02:22 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (hug)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"Call me crazy, but I think you might be slightly biased," Kitty said, hugging him back. They probably both needed it, really.

Date: 2014-03-05 03:12 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (okay here)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"Are you claiming to be an expert in Kitty?" she teased, looking up at him.

Date: 2014-03-05 04:41 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (ooh?)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"An adept?" Kitty said after a moment of thought. "Is it bad I can't think offhand of what you still need to learn?"

Date: 2014-03-05 05:18 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (curious)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"There's not really anything you do that pisses me off," Kitty admitted. "There's stuff I don't get, like the coffee pot thing- I know, I know, fewer dishes- but that's not the same thing. Stuff in my past might take a while, though. Just because there's some weird stuff that doesn't come up that much."

Date: 2014-03-05 03:43 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (explaining)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"I know, but I don't understand how you're not constantly burning your mouth on hot glass," she said. "I'm pretty invested there."

Date: 2014-03-05 06:26 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (little smile)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"That's what I like to hear," she said with a smile. "I'll get used to it. At some point. ...Probably."
