[ It's been eight days. Eight whole days. Better late than never, right? But in case anyone's yet to figure it out, he feels the need to make the announcement. He's sticking to text to avoid a metaphor slipping out; that's his story and he's sticking to it, okay? Okay. ]

Agent Phil Coulson has left the City.

Hey, you're a friend, okay? [ Because Clint is. Bucky doesn't care, he likes the guy and they get on well. ]

Just hang in there.

[bettercallit]

[ Friends aren't something he has many of, not people he can really trust, so he huffs a laugh at that, doesn't know how to answer, but he knows that he can trust Bucky. ]

Yeah, it's kinda like the one thing I'm good at, but I wouldn't mind shooting a few things just to let it all out.

[yourbestguysgun]

Well, if you ever need anyone to join you down the range kid, call me up.

[bettercallit]

You're on. Give it a couple of days and I'll drag your ass out there to see what you've got.

[yourbestguysgun]

I'll look forward to showing you who's the real king 'round here.

[bettercallit]

As long as that doesn't mean I'm the queen. Handsome price I could probably live with, but never queen.

[yourbestguysgun]

No, that's probably Steve.

[bettercallit]

[ Snatching the bottle back, he snorts around taking a swallow. ] The guy does look good in tights.

[yourbestguysgun]

Quit looking at my boyfriend. [ But there's something stupid about his tone. He's allowed to say stuff like that in front of Clint at least. ]

[bettercallit]

What're you gonna do if I don't?

[yourbestguysgun]

Show you my shootin' skills without the range. Sound good?

[bettercallit]

Sounds fair. Besides, he's not really my type.

[yourbestguysgun]

I thought he was everyone's type?

[bettercallit]

[ Shrugging. ] He's hot, don't get me wrong, but he's way too good for me. And he's too polite to pose much of a challenge.

[yourbestguysgun]

He's kind of a sweetheart.

[bettercallit]

[ He's not sure of Bucky knows about that time when he kissed Steve - cursed, of course - but he's not sure if this is a good time to throw that out there or not.

With a wink. ] You'd know.

[yourbestguysgun]

Damn straight I do.

[bettercallit]

No details, yeah? Not sure I can take orders from the guy after if all I'm picturing is the two of you.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Fluttering his eyelashes at Clint. ]

Sure about that, Barton?

[bettercallit]

[ With a smirk, followed shortly with a wink. ]

Saving that image for weekends off. Gotta keep myself entertained.

[yourbestguysgun]

M'almost sorry I asked.

[bettercallit]

Not my fault there's not much else going on here.

[yourbestguysgun]

We'll get you something to do, kid.

[bettercallit]

Hey, less with the kid, buddy, I'm older than you. [ Not technically, but still. ]

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Teasing. ] Don't act like it.
