no one had ever made him want to drop everything he was doing and planning, just to get a chance to spend some time with them and yet… clint had managed to somehow occupy his mind, despite the fact that they’d never done anything physical. regardless, thor glances over at clint, a smile slipping onto his lips as a result of his comment. ❛ mmm, hopefully it’s not just my words you’re fallin’ for, ❜ thor muses, before winking at the dancer.
following the guidance of the navigation system, the suited man waits with bated breath for the rest of his sentence. he’s especially curious as he notices clint shift from the corner of his eye. when he feels clint’s eyes on him, thor takes his eyes off the road to look at him. and fuck, he was not expecting to hear that response and it shows in the way he suddenly speeds up and his grip tightens on the steering wheel as a result. getting himself back under control, thor breaks eye contact before they end up crashing, since he couldn’t seem to keep it together after a comment like that. ❛ i don’t think it needs to be said how much i enjoy knowing that, ❜ he replies, chuckling softly. ❛ i’ve never seen a better dancer than you, ❜ thor admits and he doesn’t just mean stripping, either. as they approach the building, the ceo nods and makes his way to the underground parking, finding a spot as close to the elevator as possible.
turning the car off, he exits and quickly moves around the car to open the passenger door. extending his hand, he helps clint to his feet. ❛ – i meant what i said… i’ve never met a person that could move like you and i’m blown away by that dance you did for me. ❜ now that they got that out of the way, thor pulls back a bit, to allow the dancer some room and to follow his lead to the apartment building’s doors.
The fluttering of his heart can only partially be attributed to the car’s acceleration. The remaining skip and hop his organs are doing is definitely a response to the ever piling compliments. Unconsciously, he bites at the skin over the middle knuckle of an index finger, looking away for a moment to compose himself while they pull into the complex.
Soon after, he finds himself allowing Thor to help him from the vehicle as if he’s a lady on the red carpet instead of a sweaty carnie in a rancid underground lot. The magic is still there, somewhat, if one can ignore the reek of ammonia and focus only on the hunky blonde. Which is easy, really. Clint can hardly think beyond two steps forward, so there’s no division of attention— The CEO takes it all.
“I’ll keep that in mind.” He replies, reaching out for the businessman as he pulls away. The dancer wraps a hand around the crook of an elbow experimentally, loose enough that the other man can shake him off. A moment passes with Clint’s eyes turned upward, questioning. When he isn’t immediately pushed away, Clint takes it as encouragement and tugs the larger man closer to guide them the rest of the way.
He does not say much on their way up, instead chewing on the inside of his lip while leaning more weight into his companion. As their elevator sounds their arrival, he speaks up again, false confidence masking the crash of nerves that hit like an unpredictable tsunami, “Might have to try the next new dance out in private, if you liked this one that much.”
A cheeky click of the tongue and wink, then Barton pulls away. Ten strides to the door isn’t ample time to take breaths deep enough to settle the onset panic that he hides by fumbling for keys. “Uhm,” he starts, getting the locks open, but not yet pushing the door to expose them both to his private life, “I know I already mentioned it. But, there’s nothin’ for me to give tonight. I— appreciate you taking me home, you don’t have to keep takin’ care of me. I’m a big boy, y’know? Ain’t anything exciting happening past his door, except maybe you learning just how much I love the color purple. You don’t have to stay, if you’re busy. But I welcome the company.” After he’s done, he cracks the door and tosses a curious look over his shoulder.
