Fic: Unpack Your Heart
TITLE: Unpack Your Heart
PAIRING: Clint Barton/Natasha Romanoff
RATING: General Audiences
WARNINGS: None
SUMMARY: The first note appears on a Friday that just happens to also be Valentine’s.
Clint is working late the day he comes up with the idea. Partly it’s because his stack of procrastinated expense reports and other paperwork has gotten so tall that he’s sure Maria’s about ready to revoke his access to the lounge with the good coffee pot (again), but also because he knows that Natasha is meeting with Fury, getting her first performance review since gaining Level One status. He knows she won’t tell him how it went unless he asks, and he doesn’t want to wait until tomorrow morning to do that. Which is why he’s spent more time with his gaze focused on the hallway than the computer screen, and also why Accounting will probably get an extra dose of entertainment trying to decipher his writing once these reports are submitted.
In the end, it turns out his concern over intercepting Natasha before she leaves for the night is entirely unfounded, because she marches right over to his cubicle and presents him with a page of his own writing. “What is this?”
