I'm always happy when they give each other hugs. The rest of the team should follow their example.


Secrets – Leo Fitz (Fitzsimmons)

This organization is nothing but secrets. Leo Fitz knew this when he joined. It would be impossible not to. He knew there was so much he'd never be able to tell someone but he doesn't mind, not really.

Then he met Jemma Simmons and that all changed. All of sudden he has so many secrets he wants to tell. She was the part of him hidden away, the people part that was needed and that he'd been told he was missing all his life.

All of sudden it wasn't just his secrets he was protecting, it was hers too and after graduation and becoming the new future of S.H.I.E.L.D. operations, it became their secrets.

Their triumphs, their failures. Every achievement was theirs; everything was shared except for the thing he wanted most to share. His heart remained his alone.

When she jumped, it wasn't just her dying. It was her killing him.

He knew about her fling with Ward, it was the one secret he wished she hadn't told him but you had to take the good with the bad and he had told her that he didn't care. And he didn't as long as she remained his partner, his tether to the outside world, the translator for the gibberish in his brain.

When S.H.I.E.L.D fell and he ran to her arms, he gave her his last secret.

He held her close and whispered, "I love you."
