Character(s)/Pairing(s): Fitz&Skye, Simmons

Author's Note: Each chapter is based upon a word from the "otp feels meme" on Tumblr. There will probably be three for each of the fifteen ships between the main six. One of those three will probably be romantic, but the others are fair game.

This chapter is based on the prompt from maxliz "Fitz is like "yo let's watch this episode of doctor who" so the whole team watches it and there's a woman named Skye Silverstein and everyone's like "ohhh Skye" and Skye gets possessed and starts repeating everyone in the ep so then real Skye does it to freak fitz out feel free to watch the episode for reference."

"Fitz – I promise I will do your dishes for a week. Anything else," says Skye, her hands interlocked in front of her. "Please."

Fitz grins back brightly. "You all said I could pick tonight. And I pick Doctor Who." He waves a DVD box around and Simmons rolls her eyes. "Midnight. The best episode."

"Debatable," says Simmons, crossing her legs on her side of the couch, more interested in the book Ward is trying to read. "The Hunger Games?"

"Why is that first book you think of – "

"Skye," says Coulson, shaking his head and lowering her hands as he leans over May, "we did say it's Fitz's turn."

"But Doctor Who?" says Skye, groaning as sits back up on the couch between Ward and Simmons. "Really?"

"Doctor Who is a sci-fi classic," says Fitz as he inserts the disc.

"I don't care if it's freaking classic – I don't want to – "

"Skye," says May finally from her seat curled up in the single arm chair, "you want team bonding, then you have to let the team bond."

Skye bites her lip as the theme music starts playing.

Skye is leaning against Ward, mouth slightly ajar, her hand twitching against Simmons' knee. "Okay," she says slowly as the credit roll, and even Ward stretches out his legs, "that wasn't as bad as I thought."

"It wasn't bad," says Fitz, "it was amazing! Bloody best episode of the series!"

"Oh, Fitz, don't exaggerate," says Simmons, patting his arm across the armrest. "But I'm glad you warmed up to it, Skye."

"Yes, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to television," says Fitz, nodding firmly, even as May rolls her eyes behind him, exiting the longue. Ward nudges Skye away as he and Coulson move to the kitchen, but Skye is focused solely on Fitz. "Trust me."

Then Skye grins. "Trust me."

Fitz blinks. "That's what I just said."

"That's what I just said."

Simmons bites back a laugh, but Fitz glares. "You're hilarious. Really."

"You're hilarious. Really," repeats Skye, copying his narrowed eyes and twitching finger.

"You can stop now."

"You can stop now."

"I'm serious – "

"I'm serious."

Fitz groans. "Simmons, make her stop!"

"Simmons, make her stop!"

"And how, exactly, do you suppose I do that," says Simmons, raising an eyebrow.

"And how, exactly, do you suppose – "

Fitz straightens. "She's copying you too! Skye!"

"She's copying you – "

"Fitz, you're only encouraging her.

"Fitz, you're only encouraging her."

Fitz leans towards Skye; she mirrors his movements, arms resting on her knees and eyes still narrowed. Fitz nods slowly when Skye does the same. "You're just channeling the Skye from the episode."

"You're just channeling – "

"You're just trying to freak me out."

"You're just trying to – "

"Well it won't work, because I know – "

"Because I know that television isn't reality," says Skye with a tiny grin, watching Fitz's neck turn red.

"The – "

" – hell," says Skye, finishing his thought, complete with a poor imitation of his accent. Simmons does laugh this time.

"She's good," she says, and Skye suppresses the grin of triumph when Fitz glares at his partner. "What? She's predicting your thoughts. I can do that, but we all know that's just an anomaly – "

Fitz waves Simmons' words away. "She's just trying to get me back for – "

" – forcing her to watch Doctor Who," says Skye, matching his sentence.

Fitz leans back. "You know what, I'm not going to encourage you. I'm going to go to my bunk now. Do not follow me."

Skye repeats him, still grinning, even standing when he does. And when Fitz backs up, always still facing the other two, Skye follows his steps. "You're weird," she says, and Fitz squeaks a little before shutting the door between them.

Simmons nods beside her. "That was pretty good. I'm impressed."

"Thanks." Skye loops her arm through Simmons'. "And the best part is, next time I get to pick!"
