Darcy/Clint 14
Darcy awoke to someone running a finger down the sole of her foot. She kicked out in their general direction and heard a familiar chuckle. “Clint, what the fuck?” Her words slurred together with sleep.
“I was lonely. And then I remembered you were here all warm, all by yourself…” The fingers settled on her ankle, this time sliding up along her bare calf. “Plus you keep the good shit in your freezer.”
She flopped over onto her back and squinted up at him. He’d left the hall light on, and judging by the container in his other hand the kitchen light was probably on too. “Who the fuck crawls through someone’s window at 4 AM for ice cream?” She was guessing about the time, no clue as to what time it actually was.
“Only partly for ice cream.” His hand had reached her knee, but he was going to have to stop soon if the spoon sticking out of the top of the container was any indication.
She pulled her leg further under the blanket, away from his hand. “That explains why you’re in here instead of in the kitchen with that. Just…” She rolled back onto her side, curling up sort of around her pillow. “Make sure it gets back in the kitchen tonight.”
“Uh uh.” Clint moved up along the side of the bed to sit down by her back, the mattress shifting until she rolled back against him. “I can’t eat all this by myself.”
“Clint…” She turned to look up at him. He was grinning, and she couldn’t help but smile. “What about sleep? I love sleep. Sleep loves me!”
He dipped the spoon into the ice cream and held it up with one eyebrow raised. Darcy sighed. She shifted back up against the headboard and ate the ice cream off the spoon, then settled the blankets up over her breasts.
“Why do I go along with these crazy ideas of yours?” she asked after swallowing her ice cream.
“Because you love me more than sleep?” He helped himself to a bite of ice cream and passed her the spoon.
She considered him for a second. “Try again.”
“My tongue?” He took the spoon back after she had a bite. “My fingers?”
“Mm.” She swallowed. “I was thinking more that you make me laugh, but that too.”
