So I saw this random thing on Tumblr a couple days ago, it was a little thing called "14 Things To Do In A Relationship" and I read it, tried to keep scrolling down through my dashboard, and couldn't stop thinking about it. So, I scrolled back up, and read it again. Then I realized it would make a PERFECT Clintasha fic! So, here it is! Enjoy!

Rule Number One- Kiss like you mean it.

The rest of the team had noticed the way Clint and Natasha kissed one another. They never did a quick peck on the cheek, or casual kiss where their lips met and parted without pause or emotion. Every single time that they kissed- You just knew it meant something. You could see how every kiss mattered, and none were taken for granted.

Once Natasha was sitting in the living room with Steve, arguing about what movie to watch. It was always hard to pick something when it was just the two of them. Even though there were many awesome films Steve had never seen, the entire team usually wanted to be there when Captain America first watched movies like Star Was or a Bugs Life. So they were scrolling through Stark's collection, trying to find something other members had not expressed interest in watching with Steve.

"How about Harry Potter?" Natasha suggested, "I don't think anyone's thought about that yet. So they would be mad you watched it without them, but at least we could claim they didn't tell you NOT to watch it without them."

Steve shook his head. "No, I'm reading the books now I want to finish those firstt….." Natasha glanced at him. "What one are you on now?" He thought for a minute. "I think it's called Blood Prince? Half Blood Prince? Something like that.' Natasha raised her eyebrows knowingly. "Aaah, good luck with that one." Steve glanced at her, wondering why she would say that,and was about to ask, but she was already naming off more movies.

"Jaws?" He shook his head. "Stark already claimed that one." "Indiana Jones?" "Nope, Stark again." "The Hunger Games?" "No, don't you remember Stark made ALL of us watch that, and then called Barton, Katniss for a month."

Natasha smirked knowingly. "Oh yeah, that was fun. We should watch the sequel so Tony starts using that nickname again, I love how it drives Clint crazy." As if one cue the archer walked into the room.

"What? Who's driving me crazy and why?" He asked, walking in when pulling his jacket on. Natasha smiled sweetly at him. "No one's driving you crazy, we're just talking about the next team movie night. Talking about a movie I know you just LOVE watching with Stark."

Clint frowned. "Lord of the Rings? Brave? Some new movie about kids running away and joining the circus?" Natasha laughed, "No, none of those, but thanks for giving us some ideas! We were actually talking about Hunger Games. We need to watch the new sequel." The archer grimaced. "Come on, I hated the last one, it was garbage. And after we watched it Iron Idiot only called me Katniss, or The Guy on Fire for like a month. And besides, that girl is totally not shooting her bow right. It drives me crazy."

Natasha threw a pillow at him. "Oh, shut up, you know you loved the first movie, you just don't want to watch it with Stark. You love the Hunger Games, remember when you bought all the books and stayed up all night until you had read all of them?"

Steve failed to stifle his laughter. "Really Clint? You told me those books were written for teenage girls, who wanted to read about love triangles and hot guys fighting each other to the death over them." Clint groaned dramatically, "Thanks Nat, you just revealed my one weakness to Captain America over here! You know he can't keep a secret like that!"

Now Natasha was laughing. "Oh, is THAT your biggest weakness? What about the TV show you like to watch? What was it called again? I think it involves high school kids and singing, the name of the show starts with a G…" Clint looked totally serious now. "Natasha, NO, STOP! Don't do this! Jarvis will hear, and tell Tony, and then I'll never hear the end of it!"

She was still smirking when she spoke, and Steve wondered what show Clint would be so embarrassed about watching. "Fine Barton, I won't give away your pathetic TV watching habits. You have to help us pick a movie though. We need to find something that is amazing, not boring, not stupid, and that the rest of the team hasn't already insisted Steve watch with them."

Clint was standing behind the couch now, he leaned down over it and wrapped his arms around Nat's shoulders. The two of them started bouncing movie ideas off each other, as Steve continued clicking through the collection downloaded onto the TV screen. "A Disney film?" "No, we're supposed to save all of those until Thor comes next time." "Um, Jaws?" "I thought of that, Stark already claimed it." "Princess Bride?"

Natasha's eyebrows shot up at this title "Hey, that could be a good one! Steve, has anyone ordered you to not watch that movie without them?" She asked, already grabbing the controller from the soldiers grip and tapping in the title of the movie. "Um, I don't think so. What's it about?"

Clint spoke up. "Oh, the usual. Pirates, sword fighting, fire swamps, rats of enormous size, cliffs of insanity and true love." Steve glanced back to see if the archer was joking, but he looked very serious. "Um, ok. Sure, let's watch that it sounds fun. You in?"

Clint shook his head. "Nah, I gotta go. I'm gonna be late if I don't hurry. I only stopped in here to say bye." Natasha turned towards him, and smiled. "Ok…. Bye then."

Clint moved towards her, she shifted on the couch to get closer to him, and they met in an intense kiss. It wasn't like they were making out or anything- But it was like all of their kisses. You could just see how it meant something to them. it was important. it was special. It meant something.

Steve tactfully stared at the Tv as the assassins said goodbye to each other, and wondered how long Barton was going to be gone for this time. Probably for a while based on the emotion going on in the kiss next to him…..

Clint stood up, and gave Steve a mock salute. "Captain. See ya around!" And then he was gone. Natasha lounged back on the couch, and was getting the movie ready. Steve was googling the movie on his phone, to try and get a clearer idea of what it might be about. "So, how long will Barton be gone?" He asked. "Or is that classified?"

Natasha smirked at him. "What? No, he's just going to Headquarters to report back on that job he had last week. Remember, with the stolen jewels and poison gas that weirdo was making?" Steve stared at her in disbelief. "Really? So, he's going to be back by tonight?" She nodded and looked at the soldier curiously. "Yeah. Why do you care? Do you actually like having the idiot around now? Told you he'd grow on you when he wasn't brainwashed by a vengeful demigod."

Steve laughed, "No! I just would have thought he was going to be away for a while." Natasha was scrolling through Tony's movies, still looking for Princess Bride, but now she stopped and turned towards Steve. "Really? Why would you think that?"

Steve froze. He shouldn't have brought this up, he couldn't exactly say he had guessed Barton was going on a long mission just based on the way the two assassins had just kissed….. Their relationship was not exactly a secret, but it also wasn't something they exactly loved discussing with the rest of the team.

"Uh, um, well- I don't know. I guess he goes away a lot so I assumed he had another mission…. And I guess based on the way you said goodbye to each other…." Natasha just stared at him. "What, really? We just kissed. People do that all the time now here in the 21rst century Captain Grandpa." Steve knew she was just teasing him, so he smiled, accepting the joke.

"No, gosh, I know that. I'm not an idiot- in spite of what Stark might think sometimes…. I mean, that wasn't just a kiss. It was like the kind of kiss you give someone if you are going to see them for the last time!"

Steve meant for that part to sound light and sarcastic, then it felt like he was punched in the gut as he remembered the last time he saw Peggy, right before he flew that plane into the ocean. The first and last time that he kissed her. He didn't feel like joking now, and wished he hadn't even asked about where Clint was going. Who cares? It was all stupid. He saw from the way Natasha's face moved that she understood that what he'd just said had upset him. But instead of changing the subject,
she tried to explain.

"I don't think I would say we kissed as if we were never going to see each other again. We don't do that- We can't do that. Can't let ourselves live like that, always feeling like we are never seeing the other again. We're in a dangerous line of work Captain, and if every time one of us went out on a job alone- if every time we went out on a job period, and we thought about how one of us could be dead before the day is out, we wouldn't be able to handle it. It would be impossible to build any kind of relationship if every other week we obsessed over how one of us could die on some stupid mission."

Natasha sighed, and closed her eyes. "But I guess we are more….. Emotional in our relationship than others might be. We don't live in fear, thinking every day about how the other might die- But that possibility is always there, even if we try not to think about it. I guess it still seeps into our everyday life. It's like we don't want to admit it might be the last time we see each other- but that's ALWAYS there. It always will be. I guess that makes everything we do mean more, if that makes sense. It makes me appreciate every moment I have with him, even when we are fighting or he's driving me crazy. It makes me want to be with him as much as I can, it makes every kiss mean something to both of us."

She opened her eyes, and turned her head towards Steve he was silently listening. "I don't know, I'm just babbling now. Ignore me. I don't know what I'm saying." Natasha laughed at her own words, but her face looked so serious Steve knew she has just exposed a part of herself to him that she usually kept hidden, and now she was feeling vulnerable for saying so much. So he just smiled at her.

"Oh, it's fine. I won't tell anyone. I'd be more worried about Jarvis telling Tony about what you said, and then he would start joking about you two again." Steve said, smirking, only partially joking. Natasha really smiled now. "Oh, don't worry about that. Jarvis and I have a deal." She raised her voice slightly. "Don't we?"

The computer spoke. "Indeed we do. Agent Romanoff informed me when she moved into the apartment that if I spied on her for Mr. Stark or reported any sensitive information to him, that she would corrupt my entire system with a rather nasty virus that she invented. It is really quite something, I am sure it could destroy me rather quickly."

Steve lifted an eyebrow. "You're blackmailing a computer?" Natasha sighed dramatically. "I wish I could say it is one of the weirdest things I've ever done, but I'd be lying."

Steve accepted this without question, and laughed. "Ok. So,can you start the movie?" Natasha smiled at him, and picked up the controller. "As you wish!"

(FYI That last part was not Natasha secretly telling Steve she loves him like how in the Princess Bride movie Wesley always says "As you wish" to Buttercup, but really means "I love you". I just thought that would be a fun way to end this chapter :D Please review! The next chapter is going to be sooooo adorable! Or really super sad. There are two directions the chapter could go, I have not decided yet….. What do you guys want? Happy adorable fluff, or super sad stuff? PLEASE REVIEW!
