"we know you did your best, Clint... and I'm proud of you."
because of this post that made me think about many things
my headcanon for this illustration is that Clint by accident messes something up on mission and someone get hurt. Steve is about to shout at him, but notices Clint is on the verge of breaking up and understands it's not the time for scolding him... and hugs him, to calm him down, telling him those words.
I like the father/son bond better because Clint has a older brother already that took care of him decently enough for a while, what he misses is a true father figure as all those trough his life pretty much sucked a lot and all tried to kill him... poor boy *hugs*
What if, instead of fatherly figure, it was more like an older brother type thing? ^_^ this is just so damn cute!! May i have permission to write a fanfic for this? I would love to soooooo much!!!!
