I liiiiike this sooo much. I like that there's waryness and that boys have this period where they need to gain trust (or not, depends how the things develop), and that it's not only Clint who's suspicious, it's James as well. And then Clint passes some sort of test and he is back to being amused big dog, yeeeep, James you smug boy. (In my own 'verse I set up things a bit differently, but this works out for me too, it's very realistic). And then things aren't quite right, so let's go read what's that all about :D
