Pairing: Leo Fitz/Jemma Simmons
Spoiler alert for 3x17 and 4x01.
Fitz can't remember when he and Simmons started sleeping in the same bed.
It was sometime after that mission in Romania, where he and Jemma had really taken their friendship turned romance to another level.
But he can't remember when exactly they began sharing sheets and pillows, (though Simmons, unsurprisingly, likes to cocoon herself in all the blankets.)
It's difficult to remember the details of when she migrated to his bed, how he soon ended up knowing exactly what her pajamas looked like.
Burned into his memory, (however pleasant the recollections) is the feel of her skin under his fingertips, the smell of her hair after a shower, and her laugh whenever he manages to find light in the darkness of the current situation.
The new Director is hellbent on keeping Coulson's original team apart, but he's taken a liking to Jemma, which is both positive and negative.
On the plus side, she's earned the Director's trust, which in the future might help the team in tracking down Daisy.
Despite this, Simmons' high status means that Fitz sees less and less of her, her new job requiring her to harbor secrets and run countless errands.
It makes him grateful that they share a mattress now, because it's really the only time they get to see each other.
Still, it's almost worth it when she curls up next to him in the evenings, and he knows that for a few precious hours, she's his. No Director, no Spectrum of Security, just them, in his bed.
He just wishes there could be more of it, because he really does cherish every moment of it.
Review, please!
I know it's short.
And I have yet to fill a prompt.
I apologize.
