I'm working on my other stories but I couldn't resist and just had to write something for the FitzSimmons week. I will update as soon as possible, I promise.

Anyway, here's the prompt for Day 1: Stargazing

Thanks to my Beta StarryDreamer01 who helped me edit this.

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN AGENTS OF SHIELD.


1. My Leo

The Team was walking back to the Bus, their mission finished and tiredness seeping into their bones. Coulson and May were in the front, silently leading the Team back to their airborne home. FitzSimmons were in the middle, walking side by side and carrying their equipment while Ward was closing the line with Skye. The hacker was talking to him and he mostly listened to her rather than talking back.

Jemma unconsciously stepped closer to her partner as a chilly wind came upon them. He turned and smiled at her.

"We're almost there," Leo said, exhaustion blurring his brogue a bit and making it softer. She had come to adore his voice when it sounded like this: it reminded her of early mornings and sleepy kisses, warm hugs under blankets and whispered words before drifting to sleep.

"Hmmm," she hummed and fought the urge to curl her fingers with his. The Team still didn't know (though Coulson and May had shot them knowing looks too many times recently) and she couldn't bring herself to expose them and endure Skye's endless teasing and 'I knew it!' for... probably forever.

She saw the outline of the Bus in the dark and sighed softly, imagining to sleep in her bed in a short time. Maybe with her engineer curled by her side as her personal heating source.

Jemma blinked as she realised that she was thinking about Leo as her engineer a lot lately.

Her best friend. Her partner.

Her Fitz.

She smiled to herself and felt a wonderful fuzzy feeling invade her chest, she looked up and was greeted by the sight of a clear night sky and the Northern hemisphere's star chart mapped out in front of her. She stopped in her tracks, taken aback by the spectacle and felt Leo stop too.

"Too tired to try-"

"-and name the constellations?" She finished his sentence and smiled at his challenge. It was an old game of theirs that had started when they were still at MIT. He grinned at her, eyes bright and sleep forgotten.

They put down their cases and looked up in unison. Seconds later, they started spouting out names and random facts about the constellations as they pointed them out to each other.

Coulson and May had barely turned to look at the younger agents before going up the cargo ramp. Ward walked past them, shaking his head and muttering something unintelligible about scientists under his breath before telling Skye -who had stopped looking interested- that they wouldn't be leaving until the morning so they could stay out here for a while.

FitzSimmons barely nodded at him as they walked around with their noses up to the sky, pointing.

"Fitz, look: Cassiopeia."

"And that one over there's Perseus, Simmons."

At some point, the three of them sat down on the ground, just below the Bus' wing and kept pointing and naming stars. Skye had an amused look but nevertheless listened to FitzSimmons talking about Ursa Minor and Ursa Major.

"Oh, that's Draco," Leo said, pointing to a spot over Jemma's shoulder, fingertips brushing against her arm.

"Like Malfoy in Harry Potter?" Skye asked from where she sat on Fitz's case.

"Yeah, J.K Rowling used many stars' names for her characters," Jemma replied. "Just think of Sirius: that's the brightest star of the Canis Major."

"Or Bellatrix," Leo added, leaning on his elbows as he gazed up. "That's one of the stars of Orion."

"Hmm," Skye hummed. Then she shook her head as sleep lulled her to close her eyes and looked at her two teammates. Simmons was looking at the sky with a small frown on her face, twisting in her position on the ground.

"What are you looking for, Simmons?" Skye asked, slightly bemused.

"Leo," she replied absently. Fitz turned automatically towards her and the hacker snorted.

"You must be really tired, Simmons," she teased. "He's right next to you..."

Jemma rolled her eyes.

"I didn't mean my-" She faltered halfway through her sentence and quickly corrected herself. "-him. I meant the constellation."

Thankfully, Skye had been distracted by a yawn and hadn't heard her fumble with her words.

Leo did however. She glanced at him and noticed how he was staring at her with a curious gaze.

Jemma looked away, glad for the darkness that masked her suddenly red face.

Moments later, Skye got up and left for her bunk, bidding them good night and telling them to go to sleep at some point. FitzSimmons nodded as one and she smiled as she walked into the Bus.

They stayed in silence for a while and Jemma rested her chin on her drawn knees, taking in the quiet of the empty meadow where the Bus was parked, far from any inhabited area.

She heard Leo shift, trainers scratching against the grass as he sat up and when she looked at him, he smiled softly.

Jemma smiled back, savouring the little flutter in her chest.

"Should we go inside?" She asked.

"Not yet," he answered and moved closer to her, their shoulders bumping together. Jemma smiled again when he moved his arm over her shoulder, enveloping her in his warmth.

They were quite hidden by sight under the Bus' wing: it was nice to have a little niche of privacy outside their bunks.

"There," he said suddenly, pointing to spot on his right. She craned her neck to look. "Leo."

"I knew that it was there...somewhere," she said. He grinned and she mock glared at him. "Don't look so smug, mister. Just because you found it before I did."

He leaned forward and kissed her, making her squeak softly in surprise. She immediately relaxed and returned the kiss, lips moving slowly against his and cupped his jaw with one hand.

She felt him smile and, in a little flight of boldness, she darted her tongue to caress his lower lip and deepened the kiss when his lips parted.

A pleasant warm flare invaded her body when his hand left her shoulder and tangled into her hair, bringing her closer to him.

They kissed for a few minutes, adjusting the pressure and intensity of their lips until they had to move away to breathe freely. Jemma gently bumped his head with her forehead, enjoying his proximity. His blue eyes were trained on her face.

"So... My Leo, huh?" He whispered.

She blushed and nudged his nose with hers, too embarrassed to retort.

"Hmmm," she hummed in some sort of assent and he laughed softly.

"Good, I like that..." he said, eyes full of tenderness. "Besides, you're my Jemma. So..."

She beamed at him and laughed slightly as he ducked his head, looking flustered at his confession, previous cockiness gone.

"Good to know," she whispered. "I like that too."

She kissed him thoroughly, taking her time in mapping his mouth and enjoying the way he moaned softly and she whimpered in response.

It was only when they yawned -together- that they broke away, laughing quietly and decided to go inside.

They quickly put their equipment in the lab and headed to their bunks. The Bus was silent: their teammates asleep and only the light buzz of the airing system around them

"We should do that more often," Leo stated and Jemma looked at him, arching a brow in amusement.

"The stargazing," he specified, blushing and scratching the back of his neck. "The other -well... thing... We can do that whenever we want... or can."

"I doubt we'll end up landing the Bus in a urban-free place any soon," she remarked with a smile as she stopped in front of her bunk. "Or find ourselves in another city without SHIELD facilities." and settle for a meadow.

"A bloke can hope," He shrugged and smiled.

"As for the other... thing," She reached for his hand and tugged him into her bunk, closing the door behind them. She smiled unabashedly at his surprised expression. "I suddenly want to show my Leo how much I appreciate him."

Leo's response was quite enthusiastic as their lips collided again.
