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.

He laughs. "You wanna go to the gym, kiddo? We can do that."

Blaine nods. "Yeah!" he says. "Can I lift weights? I can work on my muscles." He then bends his arm a bit, as if he actually had muscles in his thin arms.

Clint grins. "Sure! We'll set you up with something. Do you have clothes you can work out in?"

[mediumdrip]

"Um... Not really?" He frowns a bit at that fact. "What would I need?"

[from_a_distance]

"Well, sneakers, probably. And clothes you can move in and don't mind getting sweaty."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine shakes his head. He doesn't have anything like that. "I can make sure to bring it next time?"

[from_a_distance]

"Or we can pick something up somewhere."

[mediumdrip]

"Yeah? That would mean shopping right?"

[from_a_distance]

He smiles. "Yeah, I guess it would."

[mediumdrip]

"Maybe we should. We can get stuff for my room?"

[from_a_distance]

"We absolutely can."

[mediumdrip]

"Okay! Let's do that then?"

[from_a_distance]

"All right. Let's do that," Clint agrees with a smile. "I gotta get shoes first."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine agrees. They head back to the room so that both of them can get ready to go. Blaine brushes his teeth too to get the sugar from breakfast off of them.

Clint gets his shoes and things quickly and then brushes his teeth only because Blaine does.

"Ready to go?"

[mediumdrip]

Blaine straightens his bow tie and checks his hair once last time before nodding. "Yes," he says. "We can get posters right? And maybe a cool lamp?"

[from_a_distance]

"Posters, a lamp, anything you need, and maybe a couple things you don't," Clint agrees.

[mediumdrip]

"Why would I get things I don't need?"

[from_a_distance]

"Well, do you need posters?"

[mediumdrip]

"Oh... I guess not..." He frowns, thinking that that means he shouldn't get them.

[from_a_distance]

"But you want them, right? 'Cause they'll make the room more comfortable, more homey?"

[mediumdrip]

"Yeah," Blaine admitted. Now he seemed uncertain if Clint was saying he could have them or not.

[from_a_distance]

He shrugs. "So that's why we'll get some things you don't need. Because they make you comfortable."

[mediumdrip]

"Oh. Is that a 'something I want' versus 'something I need' kind of thing?"

[from_a_distance]

"Yeah. We can even get some things just because they're fun. You're allowed to do that."
