Comic booking it

[from_a_distance]

Clint was not one to frequent comic shops. In fact, he usually stayed as far away from them as possible--not because, like the other Avengers, he was afraid he might be recognized, but because he was pretty certain he wouldn't be, and that got a little old after a while.

But Coulson had been moping because he couldn't get in to get his Captain America comics for a couple months, and Clint didn't like to see Coulson moping, so he decided to stop by and pick them up for the agent. He'd probably just drop them on his desk when Coulson wasn't around, but at least he knew it would make the man smile.

"There's nothing wrong with a little mussing now and again," Steve tells Blaine.

"I'll fix your hair when where done playin' kiddo." Bucky grins, "Show you how to look good." The chuckle dying in his throat as he notices the bruises, his eyes dart over to Phil and Clint and he arches a brow, before going back to chasing them around the ring. "You even climbed a rope?" He asks

[mediumdrip]

"I know how to look good," Blaine protests, though it's more teasing than actual insult. He straightens his clothes and moves a hand to his hair, checking it. "And you mean like one they have in a gym? No... I didn't. Is it hard?"

[sonofcoul]

Coulson returns Clint's nod and returns his attention to the slightly devolved sparring session.

[from_a_distance]

Clint tries to relax as he turns back as well, though he's still dwelling on those bruises.

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve is oblivious to the bruises, since Blaine is behind him, and is more occupied with dodging Bucky.

Juggler why you failing me.

[not_a_commie]

Bucky jumps infront of Steve, and taps him on the nose. "Gotcha." He chuckles a little, this is far less intense then his normal sparing and well it feels good to goof off a little."I can help you, then I can help you fix up your hair... if you want."

[mediumdrip]

"Help me up the rope?" Blaine asks as the watched the two of them, happy by how playful they were with each other. It seemed so normal, despite who these men were.

[sonofcoul]

And under his breath, Coulson murmurs, "Did I really just see Captain America get a nose boop?"

[from_a_distance]

Clint laughs a little, smiling at Coulson. "Before you finish your tour, kiddo?" he interjects.

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Yes, you did, Agent. Bucky has Best Friend privileges.

Steve grins down at Blaine. "Kind of sounds like Clint wants to move on."

[not_a_commie]

"Yeah kiddo, you can come play with us any time you want." Bucky nods, smiling at Steve brightly and he ruffles the kids hair a little before smoothing it out for him.

[mediumdrip]

Blaine moves his hands to his hair and looks over at Clint.

"Really? We have to go?"

[sonofcoul]

Coulson glances over at Clint too. It's really up to him, in the end.

[from_a_distance]

Clint is not nearly as proficient as Coulson at ignoring the puppy dog eyes. He will probably have to learn someday, but not today.

"Nah, we can stay," he says, caving without a fight. "If you want."

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

"It's up to you," Steve tells Blaine.

[not_a_commie]

"Yep, up to you champ." Bucky agrees smiling

[mediumdrip]

"Um... I guess we can go? You guys will still be around later, right?" he asks Steve and Bucky.

[sonofcoul]

Coulson steps away from the wall then, waiting for the answer and the likely continuation of the tour.

[from_a_distance]

"We can definitely stop by on the way back," Clint assures him.

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

"If we're not in the gym or saving the world, we'll be somewhere in the Tower."

[not_a_commie]

"Yeah, Champ. Just ask Jarvis." Bucky smiles, "Or, Clint can call one of us, where not that hard to find."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine's eyes get a little starry at the phrase 'saving the world' so it's a little more difficult for him to say good bye and pull himself away to go back to Clint.

"Thank you for teaching me," he says when he finally gets back to Clint's side.

[sonofcoul]

Coulson smiles, just a bit. "Where to next?"

[from_a_distance]

"Game room, wasn't it?" Clint says, resting a hand lightly on Blaine's shoulder. "Unless you wanna check out the library."
