Drabble 1: Structural Integrity
"Fitz, hurry!" Skye said.
"The structural integrity is failing!" Jemma said.
"I'm aware!" Fitz called back. "I just can't find – ah, got it!"
Skye looked from her hands to the doorway, waiting for him to appear in it.
"I would guess we only have a few more seconds," Jemma said, hovering nearby.
"Here!" Fitz said, holding it above his head and rushing in. "Here." He put it under Skye's hands.
She sighed and dropped the ice cream cone into the bowl – just as the bottom of the cone dripped. "That's one less thing to worry about."
"You know if you ate it faster, it wouldn't have started melting so much," Ward said.
Skye scoffed. "Just because you inhaled yours doesn't mean I have to."
"Fitz-Simmons finished theirs too," Ward pointed out. "Like five minutes ago."
"For the record," Fitz said, "we hadn't had ice cream in a long time."
Skye almost laughed as Jemma put a hand on Fitz's arm. She looked at her mess of an ice cream cone, melting into the bowl, and remembered something. "I used to make ice cream soup, when I was a kid."
She could feel Ward's eyes on her, and found his mouth drawn back in disgust. "What's the point of ice cream if you're gonna let it get warm?"
"It lasts longer," Skye defended.
"It's meant to be cold," Ward said. "Fitz-Simmons, back me up. Speak science."
Skye turned to them, expectant and daring. It was funny to see them become flustered, looking at each other as they were dragged into the spat. "Well everyone has different tastes," Jemma started.
Skye spun in her chair, smiling, and after one spin stopped and looked at Ward. "I'm just gonna eat my ice cream now."
He had this knowing, satisfied little look on his face, and Skye's smile faded a little. "What?"
"How are you gonna eat your soup without a spoon?"
She stared at him for a second. Then she looked to the scientists. "Fitz! How could you forget the spoon?"
"I'm sorry I didn't think to grab one, what with you shouting at me to hurry up and find a bowl! Which would be easier, I might add, if someone had done the dishes!" Fitz cried.
"Don't blame Fitz for not getting something you didn't ask him to!" Simmons said at the same time.
"A bowl and spoon go together, I thought that was obvious!" Skye said, through the combined voices.
Ward leaned back in his chair and laughed. It was so easy to get them started.
