It was early in the day - well perhaps not early to some, but to the two still sitting moodily in the kitchen, nursing the less than hot by this point coffee they each held, the day could have dawdled a bit more in coming. Always the last to get up, Clint and Tony had enough time in such a position to be more than comfortable with the silence that generally lingered, but given the fast approach of a much anticipated, if greatly over-hyped day, Tony had a few extra things on his mind.
"So, Legolas," he called, gaining a glare at the uncalled for social interaction, "figured out a date for my Valentines extravaganza yet?"
Clint grunted in a grumpy, contemptuous manner into his mug, but Tony caught the slight shift of gaze towards where the rest of the tower's residents could be heard going about their day. "I'll find out sooner or later, you know?" he prompted.
"The latter is what I'm counting on. Besides, I haven't even asked her yet."
"Well then you better get on it," Tony quipped. "There's more men than women in this tower, so she could just get snatched up before you get the chance."
"What makes you think it's anyone around here?" Clint challenged, although the hard look accompanying it wasn't quite as effective as he would have liked, given the internal distractions assaulting him in that moment.
Tony shook his head, waving his hand around dismissively. "You're not exactly the social butterfly of our little group, Barton. So logic deems 'her' is one of the lovely ladies around here. I'd guess a certain assassin, but we all know she's got the hots for Sir Anger Management. Next is the mind trick twin, but, again, it's common knowledge she has vision only for Vision. Jane is Thor's girl, and I doubt you have plans to change that. So, that leaves you with..."
If it was possible, Clint seemed to retract further into his mug. He often forgot that Tony did indeed have a brain, a brain that could work quite well if he decided to actually use it. Tony let the sentence hang, obviously wanting for Clint to give the information up on his own, but the stubbornness of the archer new no bounds. Unfortunately for him, Tony had enough determination to match.
"Come on," he goaded, "we both know I know. I just wanna hear you admit to your little crush." With Clint still giving him the silent treatment, he pulled out one final means of persuasion. "Given that I know who it is, this could either be semi-easy for you, or very fun for me."
Though he hated to admit it, Clint didn't really feel up to dealing with Tony's crap right now. There was enough stress in his system just from the prospect of asking you.
"(Y/N)," he admitted reluctantly.
Happy in his little victory, Tony decided to press just a little further. "As a more friendly persuasion or...?"
"Depends on how she responds."
"Oh?" Tony's voice raised. "Already setting yourself up for failure? I guess that's good, although you might also want to just start looking for a backup altogether, seeing as I'm going to be asking (Y/N) myself."
Tony took a drink of his coffee, grimacing at the cooled liquid and missing the incredulous look sent from Clint. "You?" He drawled, coming a little more awake at an affirmation from Tony. "That didn't exactly end well for you last time, and isn't that some type of conflict of interest anyway?"
Tony shrugged, clearly not concerned about any sort of issues it might cause. "Seeing as I'm her boss, I say it's okay. Besides, the only other promotion available to her is right into my arms."
