Natasha blinks and pries her eyes open to the sounds of rain beating against the window. Allegro her mind supplies, too insistent for early hour. She closes her eyes. The bed is soft and warm, even more than usually, and she stretches and turns toward the man sleeping next to her. Clint’s breathing is steady, calming largo so she buries her face against his chest and he doesn’t even stir. She remains like that, listening to symmetric beat of his heart, the full thump – thump – thump echoing under her palm. She remains like that for couple of minutes, until last remnants of sleep are gone.My comment: Cellists!Clintasha au! It’s a very beautiful piece of work. You’ll love it even more if you know how to play instruments or at least read music, like me.
She gets up, goes to the bathroom collecting Clint’s shirt from last night on the way hoping it would somehow contain his warmth. It doesn’t, but it still smells of him, which distracts her from the cold floor boards under her bare feet. She finds her thick woolen socks in the bathroom and pulls them on as she sits on the toilet. The wool is rough and it scratches while she brushes her teeth and observes her reflection. Her face in the mirror shows lack of sleep, but she’s not complaining about that. Then she goes to the kitchen, makes herself a cup of black tea (strong) and wanders into the living room.
Two cellos rest in the middle of the living room, hers comfortable against the far end of her green sofa, and Clint’s taking up the space in front of the big armchair. She nears it until she can study it from up close. The strings are all neat and the wood is well cared for, but she can see its age, she can see it’s worn, reminding her of an old soldier wearing his best uniform.
