25 Unicorn Street, Sunday

[so_hawkward]

When Clint had looked outside and noticed the rain, he started to question whether or not he wanted to take his sore, bandaged body outside to walk Lucky.

When Clint had looked outside and noticed the shark rain, he hid the leash in the closet. "Sorry boy, you've got to hold it for a little while."

Lucky looked out the window too at that, and didn't seem to have any complaints.

[Open!]

Comments

"Completely," she said immediately. And gratefully. "I need a little break from the weird. You were thinking about it?"

[so_hawkward]

"I could use a little break from... well, everything. I guess I should confess my initial thought was to go somewhere by myself but it took about a minute for me to realize that a) it wouldn't be worth it to go somewhere without you, and b) if I left town without you, you might kill me."

Clint was learning, he really was.

[throughaphase]

"I like this honesty thing. And yeah, if you'd taken off after Madripoor there'd have been a fight," Kitty said, but she was smiling. It was the 'wouldn't be worth it' comment that got that reaction. "Where were you thinking?"

[so_hawkward]

"Somewhere in Europe, with a nice view," Clint said. "Maybe not a beach, but somewhere with a nice hotel and decent weather and enough people around to blend in."

[throughaphase]

"That sounds perfect," Kitty said, resting her head on his shoulder. "Far enough away, no sharks, we can probably figure out enough of the language to get by but not enough to have to deal with people..."

[so_hawkward]

"I know a bunch of languages. Not perfectly, but enough to keep us out of trouble," Clint said with a little shrug, not wanting to make Kitty move from how she was so nicely curled against him.

[throughaphase]

"This is a thing I didn't know about you but really should have figured. Any in particular you want to put to use?" she asked.

[so_hawkward]

"I haven't gotten to use my French in a while," Clint said after thinking about it for a bit. "We can reward ourselves for not dying recently by eating really good food?"

[throughaphase]

"I love your brain so much," Kitty decided. "I like it. Don't suppose we can just leave tomorrow and stay till at least our anniversary?"

Stupid having actual responsibilities.

[so_hawkward]

"I don't think the school would like us to be gone for... that long," Clint said in a hopefully smooth manner because, well, the exact date of that anniversary might have escaped him. "But we could get away for at least a few days, maybe?"

[throughaphase]

"Valid point," she said, and looked up at him. "Do you know our anniversary?"

He totally got a pass considering the last few weeks (and the fact that Kitty only knew it because it was in her phone), but she had to see what he said.

[so_hawkward]

"Yeah, totally," Clint said, because he spoke before he thought. "I, uh... I think the concussion's making it hard to keep track of what day it is though, so I'm not sure exactly how far away it is."

[throughaphase]

"Uh huh, the concussion," she repeated. "It's the eighteenth. Two weeks from today." See, she was helpful.

[so_hawkward]

"Ah, right. Well, no, we can't stay away that long." Booo.

[throughaphase]

"I know, but a girl can dream," Kitty sighed. "When do we want to do this? It probably wouldn't hurt to get you healed up a little first."

[so_hawkward]

Clint rolled his eyes, but he couldn't necessarily argue with that logic. "Want to go this weekend?" he asked. "I'll have time to heal, you'll have time to pack, and we can have a nice weekend for a change."

[throughaphase]

"Any weekend I get to spend with you is nice," she said, and paused. "...Minus the parts with sharks and ninjas and shootings. Anyway, I like this plan."

[so_hawkward]

"Great. I'll get everything set up then," Clint offered. "It'll be really nice to have some time together away from everything else."

[throughaphase]

Kitty leaned over to kiss his cheek. "Alone time, somewhere romantic, no work, no worries about whose place we'll stay at, and we get some relaxation time before the next weird thing happens. This is our best plan."
