If anyone's doing art classes, you can do poses for them. [He's just saying.] Otherwise, I guess those muscles are all for whoever needs them most. And whoever you happen to be with.
[ His cheeks color a little again. ] Yeah. [ To both points raised. ]
I've been looking for art classes, though. You know, before the blackout. [ And the subsequent chaos. ] But not formal ones, just art gatherings and the like. Thinking if I should set one up when things calm down.
Posing feels a bit embarrassing. I'm sure someone else would be a better model.
[ He reaches out to squeeze Clint's shoulder with his free hand. ] Thanks, Clint.
[ Retracting his hand, he shoves it inside his pocket. ] Come with me whenever we find one. Or drop by when I start one. Could use a model. I'm not the only one who has good muscles.
If you wanna sketch my muscles, all you have to do is ask. Or is this you concocting a scenario where you get to see me naked in more than just your dreams?
I don't have any issue with putting myself in a pose for a long time in a state of undress for the sake of art. You don't even have to pay me. But you should, or it sets a bad precedence.
I will, don't worry. You'll even get the sketch after I'm done with it. [ Part of his payment. ]
Maybe we'll start with a few clothes on first. Still debating whether I'll let you undress all the way. Kinda want to reserve that for my dreams only. [ He smiles. Only joking, of course, because apparently, joking about it makes it less awkward. ]
Maybe I'll pose with the shield. You know how much art there is out there of you with nothing but that bad boy? [See? Jokes are always easier. Why else does Tony always have a smartass quip?]
[ Oh god, those art always left him feeling weird. One, because it feels like a slight disrespect to what Captain America stands for. And two, because it's sexual in nature.
But they're having a nice humorous moment and Steve's not going to ruin it. It does make his cheeks blush again, though. ]
Is this your way of telling me you look at those kind of art of me in your free time, Clint? [ The edge of his lips tug up a little into a small, teasing smirk. ]
[ Steve squints, nose scrunching up, in an expression of disbelief. To be fair, he shouldn't even be surprised knowing Tony, but. ]
What other things have you seen about me? [ Because, while he knows the internet exists, Steve doesn't really like looking into it. Seeing what Captain America (stans) fans say there on the daily is enough to traumatize him away from the whole thing. ]
Well, Nat might not have looked up all the fun stuff on the internet? And I'm not entirely certain Thor understands what the internet is. Banner...
Okay, maybe it's just me and Tony, and Tony's sent stuff around for fun maybe? [He shrugs. Gossip rag front pages were always fun to joke about, for instance. He doesn't think it's weird to occasionally look up what the internet thinks about his coworkers for funsies.] What haven't I seen about you? You and Stark are the face of the Avengers. You're the ones everyone has an opinion about. Nat comes in a solid third for being "the girl".
[ Being the face of the Avengers sure comes with its own small down sides and gossip rag front pages, whether printed or not, is one of the few. Yeah, he's seen some of them. Case in point: "Are They Implants? Asstonishingly Not!" with an arrow on his ass.
He breathes out a sigh, shaking his head. ] Yeah, well. Some of those opinions are wrong. And shouldn't be shared for everyone to see.
[ Case in point: "@ capstruefangirl067: oh GOD i wanna bump boobs with him!" with a photo of him in his uniform. ]
This said, I wouldn't mind sketching you with the shield.
[Clint shakes his head in return, laughing. Of course Steve thinks that way. Alas, the internet is where everyone can share every thought of theirs, even the ones that should stay on the inside.]
Anytime you want me, either for you or a class. You just let me know.
[ With a hand on Clint's shoulder to give it a squeeze, Steve smiles. ]
I will. Thanks, Clint. I knew I could always count on you.
[ In battle? Yes. As a good friend? Definitely. And as a nude model? Well, what do you know. Steve's excited, though. He feels he's been a bit behind on his sketching with everything going on. It'd be nice to flex a little with a friend. (Not like that) (But maybe also like that) ]

I'll let you know if my contracts don't pan out. [ But no, he won't do it. Not in a million years. But hey, it's good banter between friends. ]

I've already seen you almost naked once. [ In the snowed in cabin. ] In a situation that's not ideal for sketching.
This is for art. My dreams have nothing to do with it. [ But yes, in his dreams, he always enjoyed Clint's muscles. Ran his lips on all of them. ]
