Ok, Clint really can’t complain. With his track record recently, he’s in no place to judge his ex-wife for this. Still, it’s quite a bit to take in that she seemed perfectly happy kissing him while she sorta kinda had another guy on the side? Its really no big deal. She’s not violating anyone’s trust (unless she’s stretching the truth about this other dude, which it’s hard to tell with Bobbi) so no harm no foul. Clint had done much worse to Jess, something he still feels bad for to this day.
That’s all his slight head tilt and raised eyebrow in Bobbi’s direction really means. Nothing more than surprise combined with maybe a little bit of jealousy. Now the jealousy he definitely has no right to, so he does his best to squash it down. That last moment between them, that had just been a flash of situational passion. Didn’t mean anything… he thinks.
❝ How am I looking at you? Bobbi, your love life isn’t any of my business any more.
❞
Maybe the second part comes out a bit more bitter than intended. He meant the words, Bobbi is her own person. Clint isn’t required to know every bit of information with her, but damn he’d be lying if he said he didn’t miss being as close to her as they were.
❝You can um, kiss or date whoever you want to. I’m not gunna judge you.❞
bobbi stared at the expression on clint’s face, studying it for a few moments in silence as he spoke, licking her lips slowly as she did, it wasn’t judgmental, it wasn’t angry, he wasn’t saying he wanted nothing to do with her. but maybe that’s what was throwing her off. maybe she expected him, to be more upset than this. like jess was when they found out clint cheated.
but clint wasn’t anything like jess, and that was a good thing when it came to moments like this.
yet, him claiming that he wasn’t judging her didn’t really help the guilt bubbling inside her, that she kept down for now.
❛ no, i know that, but — — — ❜
she paused, biting down on her lip as she thought about this, her eyes casting downward as she did. she looked back up at him and sighed heavily as she took a step toward him.
❛ i should have said something — at some point. it’s not fair to you. or, well, hunter, but, it’s really, really not fair to you. ❜
