Clint loves to make presents... a shirt he buys on a mission, a shell necklace from the beach, flowers, just little knick-knacks he sees and reminds him of the people he loves, just to make them smile...

"What the hell is this, Barton?" Tony asks, holding up a vacuum sealed package. It takes a second to get an answer, because Clint is only still about halfway inside his t-shirt. Tony waits until his head pops through the collar and he peers over before holding the heavy plastic up and giving Clint a quizzical look.
"I don't know," Clint shrugs. "Food, I think. I hope. We ate enough of it on stakeout that it had better be food ( ... )

"Look," Clint says the next time he comes back from some secret agent jaunt, and drops himself into Tony's lap. "Got you something."
"I didn't realize you were on vacation," Tony says, as Clint slides his weight off, to sit sideways with his knees bent and bridging Tony's legs. He sets a small pyramidal paperweight on one knee, in front of Tony' face, balancing it before carefully releasing.
"Ta dah."
"I'm going to take a wild guess about where you went."

Clint's okay. He's supposed to be fine, and coming out of it soon, and before Tony can panic about how long it's taking, Clint's face scrunches in discomfort and he makes a low complaining noise.
"Hi Clint," Tony whispers, more so Clint will wake to a familiar voice than anything, "Hello. Welcome back."
Clint makes a damp mmgh sound, and shifts uncomfortably ( ... )
