Clint's considered it in passing too: it's a club no one ever wants to be in, but once it's happened, it's easier said than done to leave the experience in the past. It's not impossible, because the two of them are still carrying on, but neither is it for the faint of heart.

"I'd like that." He knows a little about him, but hearsay and information in a file isn't knowing someone. "He must be pretty great." Clint can hear it in Natasha's voice, how important he is to her, and that just makes him want to meet him more. And then he chuckles, because isn't that the truth? "You'd know the first thing about that, wouldn't you?" Natasha got past his defenses and got to see the real him, but it wasn't easy.

He supposes that must be true about this man who's clearly making her happy. And, well, if she's happy, that's good enough for Clint.
