Happy birthday, Phil
Clint was not very good at presents most of the time. He was good at trinkets or silly things he found on a mission that reminded him of someone, but he was not good at pre-meditated, thoughtful gifts. He really wanted to do Phil's birthday properly, but he always worried that he wasn't going to be able to make that happen.
This year, though, he had a great idea. If he could make it happen.
He was waiting for Bucky outside the range, figuring he could catch him alone there.

"Nah, I'm...trying to put together a surprise for Phil for his birthday."

"Ah and what you want Steve to jump out of a cake in the suit?" He laughs a little shaking his head a bit. "What are you planing?"
no subject
This is the hard part, of course, where he has to try to put his words together in a way that doesn't make this sound skeevy.
"I was...kind of wondering if I could borrow Steve for the night..."
no subject
Because yeah that sounded skeevy. "So you want to borrow, my boyfriend for the night...?" He asks folding his arms across his chest. Not sure how he felt about this. "And what I'm supposed to sit at home while you and your guy, steal him away from me..." He laughs a little.
"I mean, it's not like we haven't there was that time with Howard, but that was both of us..." He wrinkles his nose a little. "I'll talk to Steve it's up to him." He says easily taking a breath to steady himself. "But I mean why not ask him first." He grins a little, "It's kind of a hot thought though... Phil's got that whole." He waves his metal fingers around. "I don't know what it is, but yeah."

The comment about Phil has him smiling despite the awkwardness of this whole situation. "Yeah, I...know exactly what you mean."
no subject
"I'll talk to Steve, it's one of those things the four of us are gonna have to figure out, but that can happen with cake... there'll be cake right?" He smirks a little. "Not wearing the mask or the tights though, I wont even do that for Steve." He snorts. "We'll sometimes the mask." He winks.
no subject
No, really. Even if he has a thing for Phil's suits. That's completely different.

Direct is probably the best. "So I had an interesting request for Phil's birthday from Clint... you remember that time with Howard?" He says watching Steve carefully as he pops another M&M into his mouth.
no subject
"I remember, what about it?" And what does it have to do with Phil's birthday?

"Might be fun."
no subject
"You're alright with that?"
no subject
"We had fun with Howard... but that was Howard." He laughs a little. "I wouldn't want you to do something like that with out me, afraid they'll steal you away." He says pulling Steve into a kiss.
"But it could be fun." He smirks a little. "Just wouldn't want anyone feeling left out, ya know? What do you think?"
no subject
He tilts his head, considering Clint and Coulson in his mind and he does drift back to how fun it had been with Howard. He hadn't necessarily missed it. It had just been an experiment, nothing more.
"I don't know," he starts. "I don't think anyone would feel left out. We did pretty well with Howard." Steve chews on some trail mix thoughtfully and asks again, "Are you sure you're okay with it?"
no subject
"We can always stop if it's not working..." He nods "Clint and Phil seem just as invested in each other as we are." He says thinking about.
"What do you think about just playing it by ear on Phil's birthday and seeing how it goes?"
no subject
"Sure," Steve agrees finally. "You're right, it probably will be fun."
no subject
"You can boss me around." He laughs a little nipping at Steve's lower lip. "Wonder what they are gonna ask for..."
no subject
"No idea," he laughs too. "You didn't ask for specifics?"
