Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2014, Early Saturday Evening [Part 1]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Right after sunset, to make sure all types of guests could safely attend, the ceremony for graduation was ready to go. The lawn of the school had been lit up with blue and gold lights, creating safe paths for everyone to get to the seating area, and even in the fading sunlight, the graduates and their guests could likely see the beautiful job that the school's new gardening company had done getting plots of flowers and garden decorations set up around the stage. It might have been a long, cold winter, but there were no signs left of that tonight.

Of course, the pretty landscaping wasn't keeping the staff off of high alert, but hopefully the guests wouldn't notice as they were welcomed in.

Congratulations, Class of 2014! You made it! Now you just had to get through the ceremony. Maybe it would be quick and only slightly boring?

"Awww, I was going to tell you to pick a nice cat," Clint said, laughing. "Let's say I won't judge you whether you come home with a pet or not."

"Nooo, I'm being good," Kitty grinned. "But not judging is one of the things that makes you an awesome boyfriend."

"Considering how close I've gotten to rescuing another dog, I really, really can't judge," Clint pointed out.

"Ha. The reason I said we should go to a pet store was because if we went to a shelter I'd rescue all of them," she said. "Are you seriously looking?"

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2014]

[so_hawkward]

"No? Maybe?" Clint said, sighing. "I just figured... you know, I haven't really been settled before. I was always moving around or going on missions. But now I have a steady place to live and... it seems like a shame to not use that."

"Not a bad reason to get another dog," Kitty said. "I mean, Lucky's gone great."

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2014]

[so_hawkward]

"He has. I'm sure I could win Natasha over to the idea. She's very susceptible to my charm, you know." Just like someone else he knew, oh yeah.

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2014]

[throughaphase]

"Could always wait till she's out of town and surprise her when she gets back," Kitty said. "'Oh, look, he followed me home, and also he's all settled in now so I guess he has to stay.'"

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2014]

[so_hawkward]

"I could, but that'd be like lying, and I like having Natasha trust me," Clint said, "I also have to consider if Lucky could handle having another dog around."

"And that's why I'm not allowed to get any more pets till I have that conversation with Lockheed," she said. "I get it. Trying to do best by everybody."

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2014]

"I'm glad you get it," Clint said, slipping his arm around her. "It's nice to not have to explain myself a lot, you know? I think that's part of why we don't argue much."

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2014]

[throughaphase]

Kitty nodded, leaning against him a little. "Or really ever. We are probably missing out on some amazing makeup sex," she said, then quickly added, "I should probably not have said that out loud here."

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2014]

[so_hawkward]

Clint laughed and lowered his voice. "I certainly don't have any complaints there, do you?"

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2014]

[throughaphase]

"Noooo, not at all," she said, lowering her voice too. "I'm just saying, should the day ever come that we actually argue- and I'm not sure it will- we have awesome incentive to get over it quick."
