As it turned out, Clint was glad he'd told Kitty that he'd surprise her with where they were going tonight, because it gave him time to weigh his options. Fandom had an awful lot of places to take someone for food and drinks, but there seemed to be only one place with food and drinks and games he could beat Kitty at.

Look, being impressive to a girl who could make herself intangible was hard, okay? He had to take his opportunities where he could get them.

It had been a while since he'd done anything like this, but Clint was determined to not let that show. When he got to Kitty's apartment, the only thing left to do was knock on the door and hope for the best.

[For that girl with the awesome pants!]

The awesome pants weren't coming out to play tonight... because he'd already seen them. But at least her tank top really could have been cut higher?

So it wasn't until today that Kitty had realized that it'd been like two years since she'd had a real date, and she'd never had someone pick her up at her own place, so she wasn't sure what the etiquette was, exactly. So she'd had that to make her nervous along with the usual clothing concerns and such. Maybe she should have just gone with the pants.

"Hey," she smiled. "You made it." Like he wouldn't, or something.

If his shirt was looser in the arms, Kitty wouldn't have liked it that much. Come on, arms.

"Nope, not at all," she said. She'd just been trying different things with her hair... and ended up leaving it down. Okay, fine, sometimes she was a giant girl. "Do you want to come in, or are you ready to head over?"

Date: 2012-08-18 08:40 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (doing just fine)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"Let me just get my stuff," she said, going to pick up her purse and locking the door. Of course her keys were staying here because she didn't actually need them, but the door was getting locked. "Where are we going, anyway?"

Date: 2012-08-18 09:12 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (half smile)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"I stopped in there once." And then there was an Emma. "You really think you're going to beat me that bad?"

He would. Undoubtedly. She knew how to hit the ball with the stick and that was what she could do.

Date: 2012-08-18 09:52 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (smirky)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"Oh, no. None of this letting me win stuff," she said. "Especially since I'm pretty sure I'm going to kick your ass at it."

No. Not possible. She was completely lying.

Date: 2012-08-18 10:39 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (or...)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
Amazing that you could earn points for chivalry from someone who could just walk through the door regardless, and yet. "Thank you," she said, and paused. "Do you really want to make bets?"

Date: 2012-08-18 11:13 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (knowing smile)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"Adventurous," she repeated, finding a free table. She kind of couldn't back out now, huh? "Okay, fine. What do you want to play for?"

Date: 2012-08-18 11:32 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (satisfied)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
She'd be lying so hard if she said she hadn't been curious as to how he'd answer that. "Sounds good to me! Now where's the... triangle thingie?"

It's called a rack, Kitty.

Date: 2012-08-18 11:58 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (considering)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
And now it was Kitty's turn to not lead off with a really inappropriate comment. Ahem.

Going to the wall to check out the sticks, she asked, "So how out of practice are you, exactly?"

Date: 2012-08-19 12:46 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (going over there now)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"Tell me about it," she said, leaning a little on the cue she'd decided on. "Which kind of sucks when that's when you need some downtime. For a little while afterwards, at least."

Date: 2012-08-19 01:26 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (you're so cute)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"Good," Kitty smiled back. "And I for one wouldn't be upset if your downtime just kept on going."

Date: 2012-08-19 01:43 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (leaning on the table)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"I know how to play, thank you. Remember all the ass-kicking I'm about to do," she said teasingly, leaning to take the shot. If she'd known she was going to spend her evening leaning over... well, she still would have worn this top.

The cue ball hit, and the balls scattered around the table, and one solid almost went in. See how much of a pool shark she was?

Date: 2012-08-19 02:19 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (good)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
Like she wasn't checking him out while he was doing this. That was probably about 75% of why people played pool. "Just you wait. You have to miss sometime."

Date: 2012-08-19 02:39 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (hearing what you're saying)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"Oh, I know better than to challenge you to a shooting competition." She'd seen him with the bow, after all.

She looked over the table a moment, then aimed with the cue to try and hit a striped ball in the hole... and somehow managed to ricochet it and sink a solid instead. "You're welcome for that."

Date: 2012-08-19 03:15 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (like what you're saying)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"No, I'm just this awesome, okay?" she laughed. "I got one in."

His, of course.

Date: 2012-08-19 03:43 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (saying words)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"Just for that, I'm dedicating this shot to you," she said oh so seriously as she leaned over to take the completely easy shot. Which, will wonders never cease, went in. "Oh, good. That would have been embarrassing if I missed."

Date: 2012-08-19 04:35 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (being talked to)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"If I missed that, I'd have deserved all the mocking you could give," Kitty told him. "Or we'd have to pretend it never happened if you were feeling really nice. Either way."

Date: 2012-08-19 05:13 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (little smile)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
That was kind of nice to hear... "I think it's because you like me," she said thoughtfully, giving him another smile.

Date: 2012-08-19 04:03 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (let me consider this)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"I do. Maybe a lot," Kitty admitted, and oh god, seriously, why were there nerves in saying/hearing this?

Date: 2012-08-19 04:55 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (like what you're saying)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
Kitty leaned her stick against the wall- blame a sudden urge to want her hands free- and turned to face him. "Something tells me you won't have to worry about me actually doing that anytime soon."

Date: 2012-08-19 05:58 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (big smile)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
Charming her was definitely working. The only way to ruin that would be to like punch a baby or deny the Holocaust or something at this rate.

"What a coincidence," she smiled, sliding her arms around his waist. "I like that, too."

Date: 2012-08-19 06:54 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (kiss!)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
Maybe a little.

She hadn't thought it could actually be a relief to finally kiss someone, and the nerves seemed to have vanished, too. And if he didn't mind, she was perfectly happy to stay like this for a minute.

Date: 2012-08-19 09:40 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (kiss!)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
If he wasn't pulling away, she was more than happy to take advantage of that. Which might have been obvious by moving her hand to the back of his neck and deepening the kiss.

Date: 2012-08-19 10:30 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (kiss!)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
Right now Kitty was convinced his noises were pretty much the best things ever, responding with a pleased sound of her own. And for as much as closer was so nice, she was trying really hard to remind herself that they were still in public. Or else she'd be a lot handsier.

Date: 2012-08-19 11:29 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (looking down smiling)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"Mm hm," she agreed, smiling again. "And just think, we haven't even reached the shirtless portion of the evening yet."

In case there'd been any question of whether they were going to end up getting to that.

Date: 2012-08-19 11:44 pm (UTC)
throughaphase: (all smiles)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
Could make for some interesting mornings, too...

"Good idea. I'll just have to prove I can beat you another time," she said.

Date: 2012-08-20 01:14 am (UTC)
throughaphase: (laughing)
From: [personal profile] throughaphase
"Brave words," she said with a laugh. "Very brave."
