"Come on, what is it?"
"I'm not telling you," Fitz shrugs as he attempted to throw the tinsel over the tree ("It just keeps bloody falling, Skye! I may need to get hot glue." "You are not gluing the tinsel to the tree, Fitz!"), "you've got to wait until Christmas Day!"
"Fine." Skye huffs, placing the parcel she'd been shaking back under the tree. "But that's kinda unfair. It's the least you could do, I mean, this is my first proper christmasy Christmas that isn't surrounded by whining little kids."
"You sure about that?" Fitz gestures towards Ward, who seems to be angsting in the corner, drinking his third mug of eggnog, "He's been sulking all morning, I think someone ate one of his advent calendar chocolates." He smirked, then groaned as the tinsel fell again.
"Skye coughs awkwardly, "Yeah, well, whoever it was, I'm sure it was a complete accident."
"Definitely."
"Anyway, I never expected Super Spy to get so possessive over chocolate. Maybe I could give him one of mine, then."
"Why would you do that? I'm the one that stole it."
"You- what? I thought I did!"
He pauses, turning away from the tree. "Which calendar did you take the chocolate from?"
"Second from the left."
He facepalms. "That's Jemma's!"
"Oops. Right, next year, we are not all buying exactly the same snowman calendar."
"Agreed. I'm just glad I didn't accidentally steal from May's one. She's probably bought two and poisoned one."
Skye grins and pulls Fitz -now tangled in tinsel and a couple of baubles- past the command centre to where all the calendars are propped up on the bar.
"...You wanna steal more from Ward's one?" She asks, popping the chocolate from the '25' door in her mouth.
"It's Christmas Eve, that was the only one left." He points out.
"We'll share then," Skye offers with no room to argue, sticking her tongue out with the melting chocolate on it, before pulling him in for a very tasty, christmasy kiss.
After a few moments, they hear a voice behind them.
"You two are completely unprofessional...and owe me two pieces of chocolate now."
A two month late little FitzSkye christmas fic. Oops. Oh well, sometimes inspiration comes at weird and inconvenient times.
As always, if you see any mistakes, please point them out, and constructive criticism is always appreciated!
