Fitz and Simmons, or Leo and Jemma had known each other for a few months now and they had spent nearly everyday together since they had met, which is why they had planned to go out with a picnic so they could watch a meteor shower together. He showed up at her house, with a picnic basket in his hand and a blanket. She smiled when she saw him and walked out of the house, closing the door behind her. They walked together up to the top of a hill in the park at the end of her road.
"What food did you pack?" She asked him.
"I have chocolate coated strawberries."
"Anything else?"
"No, I didn't have much for a picnic."
"Oh Fitz." She laughed and shook her head as he laid out the blanket for the two of them, they had taken to calling each other by their last names, mostly because Fitz hated his name although he did occasionally call her Jemma.
"When is this meteor shower supposed to happen?" He asked her.
"In a couple of hours." She answered, sitting down on the blanket with Fitz sitting next to her.
"So we still have time to just sit and eat the strawberries."
"Yes, strawberries." She nodded laughing again and took one of the strawberries.
He smiled at the sound of her laughter and took one of the strawberries for himself looking up at the night sky filled with thousands upon thousands of stars.
"I love space, it's so vast and there are thousands of other galaxies out there just begging to be explored, all those planets and stars and who knows maybe there is life on Mars and all of the other planets." Jemma smiled, looking up to the stars as Fitz turned his gaze to her. He had noticed before that his best friend was pretty and he caught himself staring at her across a room sometimes. He loved the way that her hand felt in his when she dragged him down corridors. At first he had dismissed these feelings, but maybe he did like her in that way. Maybe he was falling in love with Jemma Simmons.
She hadn't noticed that he was watching her, she didn't even do anything when he moved his hand over hers. She just continued to watch the stars and he continued to watch her. Every blink, every tug at the corner of her mouth when she smiled. Every breath that she took.
"One day Fitz, we'll find a way for us to travel around space and see every star in the galaxy." She gave a sigh of content and lay back on the picnic blanket, her eyes still up to the skies.
"Jemma-" Fitz started but, had no idea how to finish, so he just made something up. "Strawberry?" He held one of the strawberries up.
"Sure." She leaned up, and let him feed the strawberry to her before lying back down and pulling him with her, resting her head by his shoulder and looking up at the night sky.
An hour passed and the meteor shower was about to start. Fitz looked over to Jemma, and was met with her curled up, eyes closed and sleeping. Her breathing was soft and slow and to him she looked perfect. He didn't want to wake her up, so he just let her sleep and watched her. The meteors had started to shower but both of them missed it. Jemma being asleep and Fitz just watching her, he could watch her forever. Eventually he became drowsy and couldn't keep his eyes open for much longer, his eyelids becoming heavy and slowly drooping. He let them close, his forehead rested against Jemma's as both of them slept, on a picnic basket up on a hill when they were meant to be watching a meteor shower. The picnic basket still by the blanket, with a couple of strawberries left.
