MHA #10, Wednesday Evening

[so_hawkward]

In the time since Clint had accidentally adopted Lucky, he'd come an awful long way in healing up from being mistreated by his previous owners. Sure, Lucky still walked a little slowly, but he was up for much longer walks than ever, especially now that the weather was decent. When their evening walk brought Clint near Kitty's apartment building, well, there was no reason not to check on her. That was the excuse he was going with at least when he knocked on the door, hoping she was home and not stuck at Caritas or something.

"Oh, I don't know about that. Sometimes you're sexy to the point where I can barely function," Clint pointed out.

[throughaphase]

It was still pretty great hearing things like that. "As long as you can function. That's the important part."

[so_hawkward]

Clint laughed. "There's a really dirty joke I could make there, but I'm going to behave and not say it out loud." Sometimes, he did have the maturity of... well, an old teenager, at most. "Lucky's poor ears don't need to hear it."

[throughaphase]

"Yes, he must be kept good and innocent at all times," she nodded. That wasn't even a joke. She didn't want to chance traumatizing him at all.

"That's why I cover his eyes during the bad parts of TV shows. I don't think he appreciates it though." The whining made Clint think his efforts were unappreciated, at least.

[throughaphase]

"...That is the cutest thing I've ever heard," Kitty decided.

[so_hawkward]

"Hey, no, Lucky's the cute one. I'm not..." Clint trailed off and sighed. "I'm not going to convince you of that, am I?"

[throughaphase]

"You can be cute," she said diplomatically. "Like right now. Right now you are cute."

[so_hawkward]

"You're really not helping me feel old and strong right now," Clint complained, although he was smiling as well.

[throughaphase]

"I don't want you to feel old," Kitty said, giving him another kiss. "You are plenty strong, though. And ruggedly handsome."

[so_hawkward]

"Oh, rugged? Really? You're going to make my ego go crazy if you keep that up," he teased.

[throughaphase]

"So I shouldn't throw around words like 'manly' then?" she asked.

[so_hawkward]

"Well, no, that one's okay," Clint said, laughing. "This should count as spoiling, I swear."

[throughaphase]

"It should," Kitty nodded. "But I kind of like spoiling you."
