Around Fandom, Thursday afternoon

[so_hawkward]

Even though it was September, it was still warm enough outside that walking Lucky was kind of uncomfortable if he wanted to smell all the things. Now that Clint had Rook too, who wanted to smell all the things twice, he'd ended up peeling his shirt off on one of the staircases and was walking around with it tucked into his jeans as he finally,

You know what was great about living in a small town? You could just happen to run into scenes like this just by walking outside.

"So this is the best thing I've seen today," Kitty greeted them.

"Hello to you too," Clint said, loosening Rook's leash a little as she bounced over to Kitty. "I'm going to assume you mean seeing both dogs and knowing who they are."

Yes, he was joking, mostly.

[throughaphase]

"That too," she said, bending to give Rook all the pets because omg so cute. "Hello, little girl. I'm glad I'm not coming to weird conclusions based on your collar anymore..."

[so_hawkward]

"I think she's just happy she got fed and loved this weekend," he said, "and that she didn't get stolen away by you. Not that you would have gone far."

[throughaphase]

"And it wouldn't exactly be hard to find me two blocks away when you have a key to my apartment," Kitty said. "I can settle for visitation."

[so_hawkward]

"I think you count as way more than a visitor when you helped me get things set up for her," Clint said. "You should feel free to take on walking duties whenever you want."

Especially Rook. Ah, little dogs.

[throughaphase]

"Ooh, I can do that." She totally could keep up with two. "Does that mean you're already over this part of the job?"

[so_hawkward]

"I'm not totally over it. I just need to get a lot more used to the stairs," Clint said. "It helps that they're both adorable. Poor Lucky needs to get used to having a friend with a lot of energy."

[throughaphase]

"He will. She'll get bored and he's a trooper," Kitty said, giving Lucky some petting, too. "Just remember the stairs keep your butt looking great."

[so_hawkward]

"Oh, I see how it is. I've got to keep myself hot for you, huh?" Clint asked.

[throughaphase]

"It's really a public service, oh shirtless one," Kitty smiled.

[so_hawkward]

"It's too hot out," Clint whined said. "I'm ready for winter. Then it'll feel like New York."

[throughaphase]

"I dunno, I'm pretty good with all this." Because she got to ogle. Outdoors.

[so_hawkward]

It wasn't like Clint minded being ogled. It was just weird to talk about when it was actually happening, instead of teasing someone about doing it when they weren't. That was so much less awkward. "So I've earned my boyfriend points for the day?" he asked.

[throughaphase]

"You really have. I'm really glad I didn't feel like staying in my apartment," Kitty said. "Though I'd say that even if you had a shirt on. And if you didn't bring the puppies out."

[so_hawkward]

Clint snickered. "I can put my shirt back on if this is too much," he offered.
