AN just a lighthearted little one-shot, possibly two shot if you want me to continue, as always please read and review
The first time he sees her is in one of his classes at the Shield academy. He is instantly captivated by her beauty. It's early in the morning, most of the students walking in look like zombies, but she has a big smile on her face, bright eyes and walks with a little bounce.
She sits in front of him, her ponytail swinging back and forth. The professor enters and greets the class. He grunts a good morning to the class. "Good morning!" She says in a cheerful voice. Her voice has a distinct british accent. As class progresses the professor begins to ask questions her hand shoot up.
"Yes young lady in the middle row?" The professor says addressing her.
"My name is Simmons, sir Jemma, Simmons" she replies
Ah Jemma such a befitting name he thinks after all she is a gem, a beautiful gem. He is even more impressed with her knowledge on science, he's never known anyone as good as him. It's obvious she has a love for the subject he can hear in her voice as she answers multiple questions, he can see the sparkle in her eyes. Soon class is over, and everyone begins to leave. A student trips and falls, the contents of his bag spilling everywhere
He silently watches as Jemma stops to help him up and pick up his things. "Are you alright?" She asks. The student just nods and continues on his way. This angers him for some reason, the student didn't even have the decency to say thank you... The day continues on, and she is in many of his classes, always happy, optimistic and ready to answer questions... Soon it is time for lunch. He wanders over to an empty table and sits down by himself.
He hears footsteps coming towards him and looks up to see her walking his way a big smile on her face. She sits down across from him. "Hello, i'm Jemma Simmons" she says
He hesitates at first before replying "i'm leo fitz"
"Is it ok if i sit here?" She asks "i just noticed you eating alone, and no one should have to eat alone."
"It's fine," fitz says
"We have a few classes together don't we? She says.
"Yes" he replies
"You must love science, as much as i do." She says with a smile
"Well i would really love to be an engineer" he replies
She nods "an admirable choice, i'm studying to be a biochemist myself."
They continue to talk, at the end of lunch she offers him her chocolate chip cookie.
"Well it was nice to meet you, fitz" she says
"You too" he says he watches as she leaves and thinks this could be the start of a beautiful friendship...
