"So she shouldn't need more than water tonight, and here's her favorite stuffed animal in case she wants to snuggle with something. And some towels, in case she throws anything up. And... I think that's it."

Steve gives Clint a bemused look. "I'm sure we'll be fine. What did she get into, anyway?"

Clint's face is almost as regretful as the dog with drooping ears sitting by his feet.

"The gourmet dinner we should have been eating tonight. Four-foot-high counters? Not tall enough that she can't get the food. I swear she must be part hound. Nothing is too high. Not the counter, not the bed, not the baby gates that were Tony's bright idea of a joke

Forty-five minutes later Clint and Natasha return to find them asleep on the couch, a bowl of popcorn by Steve's hand, Lapa's head on his slowly rising chest. The (possibly) part-hound puppy opens amber eyes, tail thumping against the cushions, and stays guarding their teammate until Natasha wakes him, brushing a hand across his forehead

Awww, this is so cute! And I *LOVE* the explanation for why Steve had to come over and doggy-sit. Tee hee!! I do not blame their distraction at all! Nope! Not one bit. ;D

Never a dull moment at their place, I'm sure. ;D Thank you!

Loved this interpretation of the prompt. And of course Natasha wins all the bets :)

Thank you! :) And yes, Clint really should know better by now... but it's Clint. It's not his fault the Broncos couldn't get their act together!

Too sweet! I love these kinds of slice of life fics.

And yeah, Clint in nothing but an apron would be distracting!

Puppy!!! This is so cute and I love this interpretation of babysitting :) The thought of Clint in just an apron had me swooning. And Clint and Nat more or less adopting Steve for the holiday... *sigh*

PUPPY! My brain delights in turning prompts sideways and shaking them, which inevitably results in this kind of thing. :D And yes, I really wanted them to hang onto Steve because, hey, friendships should be celebrated too. Thanks. ;)
