Aw, Coffee, No

“Ok,” He let out a shaky breath, “Ok. That’s... that’s fine.”

Clint scoffed, “Just cause I had worse,” and he has, many many many times. More times than he should have, honestly, “Does not mean I want to look like one giant bruise! Come one, asshole,” but he started grinning again, “If anyone asks I’m just blaming you.”

“Then why are you complainin? A little bruise should be nothin to you.” He was teasing of course as he turned to take the exit a little rougher than he should have. “The’ll probably say it was my fuckin fault anyway th’ second they see that on your side.” Because really they seemed more willing to think he was causing them trouble than he actually was.

“Just cause I’m used to being hurt doesn’t mean I like to be hurt!” Oh my god, he may be a masochist but he’s not that big a masochist! This pompous, stupid, asshole. “Good! It is your fault!” Clint may say that now, but he’d defend John if anyone else tried to guilt him. Only Clint could do that.

Send “refuse to snooze” for your muse to be the sleep-deprived one. 

“Come on,” he dragged John into the shop with a grin, “Order whatever you want. It’s on me,” and by ‘me’ he means ‘Stark’ but, whatever. 

Letting himself get dragged into the little shop John laughed. Well wasn’t that nice? They were going to have a bit of pizza on someone else. Well he was getting food on someone else. “Nothin like food paid off of someone else’s credit card.” John answered with a laugh.

“Literally everything is good. So, have at it!” And then they can sit down and talk, Clint can hopefully learn more about this dude. No one else really got a lot out of him so far, Clint’s hoping to change that. 

“Uh, I know you don’t like strangers here. But can I stay till I get someone to pick me up? I can even help you take down some villains! I’m pretty good at that, y’know.”

“Why would I waste coffee like that? Or ruin your clothes? That’s just mean,” He huffed, “I’d rather take you out for coffee than spill it.”

“It makes for a strong first impression. Albeit dubious, it’s an impression very few will forget easily.” He shrugged. “Well, I’m already out. So the this part you’re free from, as for the coffee, I think I’ll pass. I want to sleep once I go back home. But you can keep me company while I have waffles with orange juice.”

Clint started to look like a kicked puppy, before cheering up again. “Oh, yeah! I’d love to,” he grinned brightly, “So, I- um,” he took a seat opposite of Dio, looking the happiest in the world, “Um, you wanna, I mean not wanna we’re eating. How’s” oh fuck, how does one conversation? “How you doing?” Fuck. He sucks at this

“You hear that? Something’s close.” “See? This is what I’m talking about. My heart is pounding.“ “Dude, I thought you wanted to, you know, hang out and relive the good old days.“ “Just look at it. That is the perfect Pokemon for you.” “Okay, thank you, [NAME]. Thank you for that. Are there any other emotional truth-bombs you wanna drop on me?“ “I’m worried about you.“ “Please don’t put this all on yourself. No one should go through this type of thing alone.” “Are you trying to rob me, or just annoy me?” “Something’s rotten, and I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.” “Okay, okay, okay. Whoever you are, I know how to use this.“ “Okay, I’m gonna get a knife.“ “Okay, bad idea with the knife. I’ll find something else.“ “No! No! I’m not going in the trash chute.” “Oh. Looks like someone’s back in a good mood.” “You’re adorable.“ “It’s like destiny.“ “It’s not destiny.“ “You want a coffee? 'Cause I could use a coffee.“ “I could stop whenever I want. These are just choices.” “Look, I’m a great detective. But I can’t solve my own mystery if I have no memory.” “It’s the jellies. It’s that thing, you know? You feel it when you really believe in something despite everyone telling you you’re wrong.” “No, I’m gonna go. We’re done here.” “Hold up a sec. We’re gonna need each other.” “I don’t need a Pokemon. Period. Got it?” “There’s magic that brought us together, and that magic is called hope.“ “Oh, you feel it. You feel it in your jellies, don’t you?” “There’s nothing in my jellies.“ “We’re gonna do this. You and me.” “Should we talk about the fact that your childhood bed is a Pikachu bed?” “I’ve never been so flattered and creeped out at the same time.” “Uh, I was drinking that.“ “Just step anywhere. It’s only my life’s work.“ “I can see why you were so excited.” “I was… [scoffs] Okay, I was not that excited.” “Hey, again. Uh… Yeah, I know this seems weird but I actually needed to ask you something.” “This isn’t an office. It’s a coffin with pencils.” “The docks can be dangerous. It’s not the sort of place you want to visit alone at night.” “I’m actually pretty good at being alone at night.” “That’s not… That’s not what I meant to say. Um… I’m just gonna…” “We need to get some ground rules if this partnership's gonna work.” “You’re not my partner.“ “My problem is that I push people away and then hate them for leaving.” “He’s saying you can shove it.“ “Real cooking is about following your heart, not a recipe!” “All I hear are consonants, and all I see are nipples.” “Here. Hold my hat. I’m about to rock this place.“ “What are you doing? What is your plan of attack?” “I forgot everything you said! I forget things, it’s what I do! I have amnesia!” “It’s not working. I forgot how to use my powers.“ “Are you crazy? Get out of there!” “No, I’m not in denial! I’m right, I know it!” “It wasn’t your fault. It wasn’t anybody’s fault.” “I haven’t been really nice to you.” “Well, there’s no such thing as “daddy issues" without "daddy”.” “What’s with the sunglasses?“ “There’s nothing really casual about this.” “Eh, that sounds like a waste of coffee.” “So let me get this right. We’re forced to listen to this spa music so your head doesn’t explode and kill us all.” “Hey, you put that down. I am not giving you a massage.” “I may have amnesia, but I’m pretty sure this is the worst idea anyone’s ever had.” “This is no time for your stupid headaches.“ “I officially hate this forest.“ “That’s a great fifth option. Let’s work on the first four.” “I’m here, partner. I’m here.“ “You’re gonna be okay.” “You have to go on without me.“ “You’re better off on your own.“ “No! No! I need you. Please.“ “You have to stay away. It’s for your own good.” “No. I’m not letting you go.“ “You see? I can’t help it. I hurt the people who need me. That’s who I am. I’m sorry.“ “You tried to kill him!“ “You think you can stand in the way of the future?” “Give me your hand!“ “I didn’t need to defeat you. I just needed to distract you.“ “I’m sorry. I’m sorry I pushed you away just when you needed me the most.” “I’m just happy you’re back.” “Meet me later tonight?“ “You think I can stay with you for a while?”
