Hi!
This is my first fic in English so as it's not my mother tongue I apologize for any possible mistakes. This is the English version of my fic Juntos which I have translated with the help of my friend Silvia (Aivlis Malfoy).
I want it to be a longfic, so tell me if you like it and I'll update it as soon as possible.
I own nothing, everything belongs to ABC and Marvel.
Read and enjoy!
"Tell me that you are not Hydra" he said breaking the silence that had surrounded them for a while.
Jemma, who had been distracted looking at the waves her legs made on the water, looked at him confused.
"What?" She asked. She thought she had understood the question well but it was so strange she needed to hear it again.
"I know it's ridiculous but I just need to hear you say it" he repeated, knowing his friend had understood the question the first time. He knew her too well.
"I'm not Hydra" she said looking at him fondly. Fitz was scared and it was completely understandable. Lately, he had been so close to Ward, he was like an older brother to him and his betrayal had been a stab in the back.
"Yeah, good... Good. Because I'm not either" he clarified, even though she hadn't doubt it for a second.
"Of course not" she asserted.
"Because if you ever did…" He said staring blankly so she couldn't notice he was on the verge of tears "I don't know what I would do."
"You'll never have to find out, Fitz" She promised him placing a hand on his knee, assuring him with a simple gesture that she'll always be there for him. "We'll always have each other, I promise" she said sincerely. "Together, remember?"
"Together" he repeated, placing his hand over hers.
Once again, silence, only disturbed by the distant sound of Trip and Skye talking on the other side of the pool. But this time the silence came with something else, it was a silence charged with feelings and emotions none of them dared to show.
And Jemma was tired. She was tired of fighting, of being betrayed, of not knowing who to trust or what to expect of the next day. She was tired of hiding her feelings when they could die at any time. Slowly, she shortened the distance between them and closing her eyes she rested her head on his shoulder. Fitz, noticing the approach of his friend, placed his hand behind her thin waist and almost unconsciously he pressed her closer to him. It was a gentle movement, nothing forced, as if they had been always like that. They rested a few minutes like this, hugging, enjoying each other's warmth without saying a word, only lighted by the moonlight reflected on the water.
"Jemma, I…" he started, suddenly finding courage to confess his feelings for her.
"Shhh" she stopped him placing her forefinger on his lips and approaching her face only a few inches from his "Me too."
Then he brought his hand to her cheek and he caressed it lovingly. In response, she grabbed his hand and she entwined her fingers with his. The distance between their lips gradually became shorter, like two magnets approaching slowly but inexorably. When they finally met, the world stopped for a moment. They weren't exactly experts in kissing but it was the most perfect kiss they could had asked for. Their lips fit like a puzzle, as it there was no one out there designed for them but each other. When the need to breathe became evident they broke the kiss, both smiling helplessly.
"I love you" he whispered in her ear, finishing the sentence he hadn't finished earlier.
She jumped to his lips again and she sank her fingers into his golden curls, approaching him as much as possible. At the same time, he pressed her tighter against him, just to make sure she was real and she wasn't going anywhere. The woman he loved was in his arms and his heart was beating so fast he thought it would came out of his chest if they didn't stop to breathe again.
"Fitz…" she murmured when they separated "I think we are making a show."
He noticed how his cheeks turned red instantly when he realized Skye, Trip and even Coulson and May, who had arrived a while ago, were looking at them astonished.
"Wow, we have audience" he laughed when he managed to calm down. Part of him was tremendously embarrassed but the other hated his team for being there in that precise moment. While his brain worked at full speed thinking what to do, his friend stood up.
"If there's no intimacy here we should go somewhere else, shouldn't we?" She asked quietly with a mischievous smile offering him her hand.
"I absolutely agree" he answered accepting the offer.
Avoiding looking at their team mates, they crossed the lenght of the pool and they got into the small building. They stopped a moment in the corridor catching their breaths. After a few seconds, Jemma took the initiative and still holding his hand, she guided him to her room. Just before reaching the door, Fitz wrapped his arms around her and he kissed her again. It was a short kiss but full of love and sweetness.
"Are you sure, Jemma?" He asked looking at her seriously. He was aware of what could happen if they crossed that door.
"I haven't been surer in my entire life, Fitz" She answered kissing him back while she drove both of them inside the room.
"FitzSimons, at last!" Skye exclaimed when she heard the noise of a door closing inside the building. The four agents laughed. It was about time that the two scientists acted upon their feelings.
That's all! What do you think? I really hope you've liked it.
