"I got married." Clint glances down at the ring on his hand, the exaggerated nonchalance of the movement telling Natasha that his surprise is feigned. He’s been waiting for her to ask. "Her name is Bobbi, and I'm pretty sure she's the smartest woman I've ever met."

“So you met her three weeks ago,” Natasha says slowly, trying to put the pieces together in her mind, “and you fell in love and you married her in that time, while also working a S.H.I.E.L.D. op?” She can’t quite keep the skepticism out of her voice.

I read this the other day and I LOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE ITTTT!!!! totally NOT what I pictured when you first mentioned it...but this was of course so much better. it just felt real.

And here is the most interesting thing from my perspective...I'm a total C/N shipper obviously. But I felt myself getting really annoyed at Clint for not trying harder with his marriage to Bobbi. But that's of course the point, he's not at a place to be in a long-term relationship and Natasha recognizes that both about him and herself.
