Phil reaches up with his other hand and places it over the back of Clint's neck. He hasn't been this close to Clint since he first showed up at his door and he hugged him.

"And you're not going to lose me," he says it firmly, looking into Clint's eyes. "I know every detail of what you did for him. I've known it for a long time. It's not driven me away or made me see you differently. I'm here and I want you here but not if you don't want to be here and be with me."

It would be an odd adjustment if they went back to being friends instead of lovers but Phil would make it for Clint if it would help him. He'd do anything if it would help.
