[He did promise they'd talk. And he doesn't go back on promises. In general, and especially not to Natasha.
And it isn't like he wants to keep secrets. Not from her, not from those closest to him. Steve knows, Tony knows, but those were both kind of due to circumstances and conversations that--no, he can't just go and blame circumstance. He hadn't really planned on it, though, on saying what he's said and who he's said it to. If he keeps avoiding it, it's not going to get better, only fester.
But also, for as concerned as he was that Steve would immediately go off and do something stupid for his sake, Clint is also concerned Nat will bide her time and then go off and do something sneakily stupid for his sake, which could be worse, because nobody will see it coming.
He's thinking too hard, perhaps. He doesn't text her first, just makes his way over to her room, knocks on her door, hopes she's in, hopes her roomie's not. They can always go somewhere else. Roof, maybe. Quiet and private. Whatever works for a talk, just...so long as they talk and he doesn't keep avoiding it.]
