Based on a Tumblr Prompt I received. I really enjoyed writing this little fluffy drabble. I hope you enjoy it too!

SECRETS
"Fitz, can you hand me that sample?"
"Here," Fitz placed the sample on the table, leaning over Simmons to grab a screwdriver. Their bodies were flush together as he reached over the table, but the two scientists didn't seem to notice. They just went on with their work.
The person who did notice was Skye. She was sitting in the lab watching the two scientists, her face hidden behind her computer screen. Never had she seen a pair of people who were in such synchronization.
Fitz moved away from Simmons and back to the DWARF that he had been working on. "Simmons, I can't see this."
Without a single question, Simmons moved to Fitz, taking the DWARF and held it over her head so that her headlamp lit the underneath. Fitz moved so he was underneath the bot too and began tinkering with the underside. Skye watched in amazement as the two scientists stood mere inches apart without batting an eyelash. Everyday was the same. They worked together, sharing ideas and thoughts almost psychically, moving in ways that proved that they had no concept of personal space when it came to each other. Yet it was all as friends, nothing more. Skye wanted more than anything to sit them down and make them realize that they were the perfect couple, that they belonged with each other.
Skye had become matchmaker. At least, she had tried.
She had 'accidentally' locked them in a storage closet – which she came back an hour later just to hear them arguing like an old married couple.
She had sent a 'love note' from Fitz to Simmons – but Simmons immediately knew it was from Skye.
She had dropped hints of how perfect they were together – where she always received the typical 'I love my best friend' speech in return.
There seemed to be no telling the two scientists that they were perfect for each other, they would never be more than best friends. With an exasperated sigh, Skye shut her computer and left the lab, leaving the two scientists alone with their work.
The two scientist's heads moved together as they watched the door close behind Skye.
"I thought she would never leave," Simmons said with a relieved sigh.
"But she's gone now." Simmons put down the DWARF as Fitz pulled her to their corner – the one part of the lab that was hidden from the security cameras. Taking her headlamp off, Fitz leaned down and kissed her, pulling her close into his body. "Happy Anniversary."
Simmons pulled a simple chain necklace out from underneath her high-necked blouse. Hanging on the end was the wedding ring that Fitz had given her five years before. With a smile, she leaned back into Fitz, kissing him again, her fingers running through his curls. "Happy Anniversary. Another perfect year for Fitz and Simmons."
