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.

Blaine just looks uncomfortable and uncertain as he tries to think of something.

"It doesn't have to be anything crazy. Even if you just want a peanut butter sandwich, we can do it."

[from_a_distance]

"Yep. Or we could do that delivery pizza you were talking about."

[mediumdrip]

"Can we make meatloaf?" Blaine asks after a moment. "My mom used to let me mix it up when she made it." He had always liked squishing the meat, egg and breadcrumbs together with his hands.

[sonofcoul]

Coulson looks over at Clint. "Is meatloaf doable?"

[from_a_distance]

Clint laughs quietly. "Meatloaf is definitely doable. You want mashed potatoes? Some kinda veggies?"

[mediumdrip]

Blaine nodded at that. "Yeah. Yeah, that sounds good."

[sonofcoul]

"Sounds good. Let's get going."

[from_a_distance]

"Right. Back to the kitchen." He smiles steers them back in that direction. "Is there anything you don't like to eat?"

[mediumdrip]

"Those little tiny lettuce looking things?"

[sonofcoul]

"Parsley?"

[from_a_distance]

Clint smirks. "Kale?"

[mediumdrip]

"Are those gross?"

[sonofcoul]

"Parsley's kind of mild, really. It's mostly used to decorate plates."

[from_a_distance]

"And kale mostly gets put in stews and things. You can make chips from it, though."

[mediumdrip]

"I thought chips were from potatoes."

[sonofcoul]

"Most of them, yes. But, for instance, tortilla chips are made from wheat or corn."

[from_a_distance]

"People make chips from all kinds of things now," Clint points out. "I mean, chocolate chips aren't made from potatoes..."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine gives Clint a 'give-me-a-break' look. "Chocolate chips don't count!"

[sonofcoul]

"Those definitely qualify for a different category."

[from_a_distance]

"Okay, fine," Clint says with a laugh. "Chocolate chips are special."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine just smiles and gets quiet as they focus on getting back to the kitchen.

[sonofcoul]

"Not to mention butterscotch chips and peanut butter chips."

[from_a_distance]

"You're creating a whole new sub-category of chips here."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine just smiles as he listens to them, amused by how they keep talking about the topic of chips.
