They had been dating for a week, and it seemed like the entire school knew that Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz were a couple, mostly because they walked down the halls and sat in class holding hands, but a lot of people had just sussed it out themselves, the first one being a girl called Skye who had recently moved to the school.
"The first people that I heard about in this whole school was you two! You're the only kids here that are from Britain. It must have been amazing when you found each other and became friends." Skye told them, sitting up on the table the three of them had claimed in the canteen.
"It was amazing, just like her." Fitz replied kissing Jemma on the cheek, earning a small blush from her and a small giggle.
"Have you actually kissed properly yet?" Skye asked them with a raise of an eyebrow.
"Not yet. We will when the time is right though." Jemma answered, resting her head on Fitz's shoulder. "I want it to be somewhere special."
"You're both just hopeless romantic geeks aren't you?"
"There's no better way to be." Fitz grinned, earning an eye roll from Skye.
How they became friends with Skye, none of them would ever know. Skye was an outgoing, lively and very much of a party girl. The complete opposite to Fitz and Simmons who liked to stay home, helping each other with homework and watching 'Star Wars' which they were shocked and appalled to find out that Skye had never seen, maybe it was just the fact that Skye thought that they must be popular considering the whole school knew who they were, but then found out that they only spent time with each other, laughing and talking to each other. She sometimes heard them throw little insults at one another, but it was all fun and neither of them meant the insults and nicknames in a mean way. Skye thought that they were disgusting, but adorable the way that they were so lovey dovey with each other and always hugged. Always had the other by their side. They even took the exact same classes, and both of them were so useless in sport that they were in the mixed group that didn't even get graded for it, but they were advancing in science more than anyone else in their year group, or even the year group above. Skye was pretty sure that they were going to graduate early and get into college at the age of seventeen.
Toward the end of the day, Fitz was getting a little nervous and Jemma had noticed. His knee was shaking and he kept checking the time, not to mention the way his eyes widened whenever somebody mentioned prom. Him and Jemma hadn't even thought about it, and he didn't know if she would want to go or not, but he was desperate to ask her. Desperate to get one night with her where they could dance it away and be like a proper couple, even if he had two left feet and she could probably dance like an angel. Maybe he could let her teach him how to dance if she wanted to go.
At the end of the day, he walked her home from the bus as usual and before she went inside he took her hand and turned so that he was facing her.
"Fitz? Are you okay?"
"Jemma Simmons, I have a question to ask you."
"It's a little early in the relationship to propose isn't it?" She gave a small laugh but, stopped when she saw the serious expression on his face.
"I'm not proposing. I was thinking about prom…"
"You don't want to go?"
"No! I do want to go- this was meant to go differently. What I'm trying to ask is; will you go to prom with me?" He asked her with hopeful eyes watching her expression break into a grin as she practically jumped and threw her arms around him.
"I would love to go to prom with you! It would be amazing and romantic and Fitz, I didn't think you would even want to go! Is this why you've been acting nervous all day?"
"You noticed?"
"Of course I did."
"Then yeah, that's why I've been nervous all day."
"Oh Fitz…" Jemma giggled and with that she kissed him.
In all honesty he hadn't been expecting the kiss, but it was all he ever dreamed a first kiss with Jemma would be like. Her lips were so soft against his, and it felt like fireworks going off in his mind, he closed his eyes as he kissed back and wrapped his arms around her waist, but it was over sooner than he had hoped. He opened his eyes when he felt Jemma's lips leave his and watched her as she tried to hide a blush and looked at him with her big brown eyes.
"Wow…you're a really good kisser Fitz." She whispered.
"There are more kisses where that came from." He answered.
"I look forward to them." She told him, and kissed him once more quickly before turning away and going into her house, the fireworks in her mind still exploding as she let everything sink in. Prom. Her first kiss. It was all so perfect.
