🩸⏰So, Natasha Morin is one of my versions of Clockwork that's arguably a bit more "original" Clockwork lol.

🩸⏰While while Natalie is more calm and reserved, Natasha is fairly wild and aggressive

🩸⏰Which is honestly one of the main reasons why Jeff became attracted to her in the first place

🩸⏰He'd never admit it allowed, but he LOVES a woman that can beat him into a bloody pulp LOL

🩸⏰ANYWAY, unlike Natalie, Natasha didn't have anyone in her household/family in her corner, so she was forced to fend for herself

🩸⏰As a result, this lead to her having A LOT of scars on her body because she gained the habit of jumping into fights head first (which is ANOTHER thing that attracted Jeff to her)

🩸⏰Funnily enough, Jeff being exposed to Natasha's scars is kinda what kickstarts their whole relationship in the first place

🩸⏰Before this interaction, they didn't really get a chance to encounter each other at all, so count Natasha as very surprised when this guy walks out on her shirtless (she has her bra on) after one of her work out sessions

🩸⏰Of course, Jeff being the idiot he is says something stupidly flirty and nearly gets on of Natasha's knives to his face

🩸⏰THIS was the start of their dynamic

🩸⏰They weren't really enemies to lovers, they were more so rivals to lovers I would say

🩸⏰Cause they didn't really like each other first, but they didn't hate each other either, they just got on each others nerves

🩸⏰Smoke breaks was how they ended up actually getting to know each other as silly as it sounds

🩸⏰Drinking together did too, but it was the smoke breaks that they share their fondest memories of each other (neither will EVER say that aloud though)

🩸⏰The first time happened when the two of them were arguing in Jeff's room because he's taken something that belonged to Natasha

🩸⏰At that point, Jeff was tired from a mission, so instead of throwing her out like he usually would have done, he lights himself a cigarette and tells Natasha that if she wants one, she'll shut the fuck up and follow him out onto the roof

🩸⏰First, it was just a way to vent frustrations

But gradually, slowly, it shifted into them opening up to one another

🩸⏰The two of them see a piece of themselves in each other, and that made it easier to be vulnerable

🩸⏰Because of this, I can definitely see Jeff being one of the first people that Natasha tells about her past and confesses what happened to her when she was a kid

🩸⏰This is also the first time that Natasha would let a man touch her in a long time, because Jeff just silently hugged when she started crying

🩸⏰From that point on, they got closer

🩸⏰The two of them end up realizing that they love each other in a similar way, surprisingly

🩸⏰During one of their 'smoke hangouts,' Natasha would tell Jeff about the old toy giraffe that she used to have

🩸⏰Seeing her eyes soften, the way she smiled when she talked about the toy... Jeff realized then and there he wanted to see that expression more often, because seeing Natasha happy made him happy 🩸⏰So late one night after he gets back from one of the hunts he was sent out on, her gives her a little toy giraffe that has a green bow around it's neck 🩸⏰That was the moment that Natasha is slapped in the face with the realization that she does care about Jeff more then she wants to admit to herself

🩸⏰She named the giraffe Courtney (cause she's a big fan of the band Hole)

🩸⏰Courtney is now their third wheel every time they go out on their smoke breaks, they even give her a unlit cigarette so she can "join in"

🩸⏰They spar a lot with each other both for training and just for fun, it's like their love language

🩸⏰And Jeff always makes sure to pamper Natalie when she accidently hurts herself or he accidently hurts her more then he he meant to

🩸⏰Natasha takes advantage of this and makes him either get her favorite take out or cook her favorite meal

🩸⏰She always makes him get something for Courtney as well so she can "have some too" (so she can have double the food)
