A little drabble and a half for the holiday weekend…  
Happy (late) Canada Day to the Canadians, Happy Independence Day to the Americans, and simply Happy July to everyone else! :)

~~~~~

"So what do you think of the fireworks, Nat?" Clint asked, a wicked grin on his face.

She studied the pyrotechnic blaze from their perch on a roof about a half mile away.

"Not bad," she admitted. "But not quite as colorful as I'd been hoping."

"Hey, it's hard to get a blaze like that going!"

"I know. Maybe if you had let me go in there with the C4 instead of just using the fancy explosive arrows…"

"Yeah, but then you'd have been busy hightailing it out of there and you wouldn't have been able to appreciate the Hydra nest going boom."

"This is true. Plus, now I get to enjoy some 4th of July fireworks with you in the best possible way," she said, smiling and giving his shoulder a playful nudge.

"Yeah," he said, wrapping a companionable arm around her shoulders. "Happy 4th, Nat."

"Happy 4th, Clint."

Fireworks for our favorite assassins -- yes! This was a great Independence Day treat. Thanks for sharing!

I dunno... I think there may need to be a little more to this....



They sat watching the blaze for a while until Nat suddenly raised her head from Clint's shoulder.

"Hey, it's Steve's birthday today, isn't it?"

"Yeah..."

"We should call, tell him this is our gift."

"You have a very twisted idea of what a gift should look like," Clint told her.

She shrugged. "How is this not a gift?"

"It's just... not," Clint argued. "Besides, what do we say - Hey, Steve, happy birthday, here's a bunch of dead bodies?"

"No, that probably wouldn't be a good idea." She thought about it a minute. "You know, even if Steve doesn't like it, Bucky would. And if Bucky liked it, then Steve would like it more, and then it'd be a good gift."

Clint pulled her back against him. "Stop. Let's just enjoy the blaze for what it is. We'll get Steve a proper gift when we get back."

"But not this?" She sounded disappointed.

"No, most definitely not this." And then he added quietly, "Although I wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall when you tell Barnes about this conversation.

Natasha just laughed and nuzzled in closer.

It got even better (and cozier)!! Nat means well, but having Clint as the voice of reason was a great twist. ;) I love it!

Love it!

(And BTW, I think that Steve might actually appreciate a burning Hydra base for his birthday....)
