*adjusts halo* I do recommend the books, too! Or, at the very least, the first one - the second and third are a bit different in terms of overall plot.
It would really wig people out - a cross between 'OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING' and 'oh, okay, you two, get a room, that uh, wow okay'. Touching another person's daemon is...in the books, it's stated that not even enemy soliders in battle touch each other's daemons. Now, I think this is not quite true, but it's got a deep level of instinctual stigma attached. Lyra, the main character, has her daemon handled by an evil scientist (very much against her will) at one point, and she feels sick and violated. Obviously, it's different when lovers do it, but even then, it's a statement of huge trust and intimacy.
So, while I do see Clint and Natasha's daemons touching the other, if anyone were to witness it, it'd be...discomforting? in various ways.
(and of course this has to be written, For Reasons.)
