A/N: Hello you guyss! Firstly, I apologizes for the very long time to update this fic. I am really really sorry, I have been busy these past months and did not have any time to update. I hope you guys understand. Well, you guys could yell at me, I deserve it. Lol. Sorry to make you wait on the update. Also, this fic series is almost ending. I hope you guys are patient enough to follow till the end. Special thanks to dahliaMdaria that keeps supporting me. Well, I hope you guys love this chapter. Have anyb of you guys watch AoS Season 3? I am not happy by Skye's name changing into Daisy, it feels weird. Skye suits her better, for me personally, she will always be Skye in my heart. Daisy is a great name, it is originated from one of the character of Marvel, but I like Skye wayyy better. It kinda disappoints me when I heard that the writers are changing the name. However, I still hope that there will still be a possibility for Skimmons. What do you guys think? Btw guys, I'm gonna answer some reviews:
haytsun : Hey! Thankyou for waiting this long for my update *if you are still reading this fic* I am truly sorry for the long time for me to update this fic. Well, Skye does not know that Jemma is still checking her old e-mail. And Jemma did not want to discuss it with Skye because she knows that Skye is drunk. However, they will have a long talk soon *wink*. Hope you love this chapter :)
Spitfire303 : I have finished all three seasons of the Arrow now, it is so freaking good. OMG. Lol. Yes, thankyou for previous review. Sorry for the long wait for my update. Hope you like this :)
dahliadaria: Yes, Jemma is suppose to know that because she is a doctor. However, when it comes to Skye, Jemma is not as bright as her usual self. LOL. Hope you love this chapter :)
Okay guys, happy reading. This one's for all of you who had followed my fic since the beginning! I love you guys!
"Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!" Hunter, Bobbi, Mack, Fitz and Jemma are chanting toward Skye. Skye gulps her drink more and more until she finished it. She put her glasses on the table and everyone cheers loudly.
"Stop it you guys, this is not a big deal," Skye chuckles while her visions start to spin.
"Let's go for another round, shall we?" Fitz announced as he walks to the mini bar.
"Yeah let's go for it mates!" Hunter shouts over excitingly.
"Boys and their alcohol," Bobbi shakes her head and smiles at Jemma. Jemma smiles back and turns her head toward Skye.
Everything had been so different since Jemma came back from Hydra. The first time she reaches SHIELD base, the first person she wanted to see was Skye. Not Fitz, not Coulson and not May. She was afraid to death that her cover will be blown. Thanks to Agent Morse, she could escape Hydra's base safely. Jemma expected Skye to envelope her in a warm hug and smiles at her, whispering to her that Skye is glad that she comes back safely. But it is just a hope that Jemma keeps inside her heart. She was fascinated by Agent Morse, her ability on undercover was superb and she was fierce on fighting. Agent Morse also understands some things about biology and aliens because she was also interested in those things. The flight home was brief, but felt with gratefulness that Jemma can't explain.
When Jemma entered the base, she does not see Skye, she looked for Skye instead she met Fitz. At first things with Fitz was kind of awkward, but they slowly got back into their normal pace. She helps Fitz heal and also starting to work on the findings she got from Hydra. Jemma did not see Skye until it was her second day on the base. When she first saw Skye, she was overjoyed, and the feelings she had for Skye she thought was gone came back to her. Skye was so bloody gorgeous, standing in front of Jemma in her combat suit, she changes her hairstyle, and Jemma also can noticed that she has been working out a lot with May. Jemma had a lot of things to say to Skye, a lot of things she wanted to explain and a lot of things she wanted to confess.
The first word she said when she met Skye was: "Oh, hey Skye,"
Jemma could not read Skye's expression, she just looked at Skye's eyes and hoping Skye will embrace her. But Skye don't. She just stood still in front of Jemma .
"Simmons, nice to meet you," Skye smiles politely and nodded at Jemma then she walked past by Jemma.
What is wrong with Skye? Why is she so cold toward me? What is happening? Many questions rushed through Jemma's mind. It is weird of Skye to act like that. Jemma decided to go to the lab to clear her mind. There she found Fitz, tinkering with his techs, his eyebrows was scrunched and his hands are tapping the desk.
"Trying to figure out something?" she asked
"Oh, Jemma, you startled me," Fitz jumped a little on his seat.
"What are you working on?" Jemma questioned.
"This is a new, ah, what's the word for it," Fitz scratched his head, "um, new techs, for Skye, Hunter and Trip,"
"Wow, are they a team now?"
"Kind of, for the amount of field agents are low right now,"
"Well, how's their team doing? They do a lot of success on their missions' right?"
"Yes, Skye is doing very well; she is training with May day and night. Sometimes I see her here, in the lab, just sitting at the chair, staring into the spaces,"
"What, no, I'm asking about the team, not Skye,"
"I know it already Jemma, it's okay, and I'm okay with it too, I totally support the both of you," Fitz smiled.
"H-how did y-you know?" Jemma stuttered as she fiddled with her fingers.
"I've known since a long time a go, but I keep hoping for you," he answered as he smiled, "but, I've come to realize that you deserve Skye and so does she."
"No, she did not, I am not good enough for her," Jemma sighed heavily, "she probably hate me for leaving her."
"No, she did not Jemma, well, she is angry maybe, but it will pass, you don't know how miserable she is when you were gone. I can see that it is hurting her so much, more than it hurts me." Fitz explained.
"Well, I don't know that, she just walked past me before and she did not asked me about things or how I am." Jemma 's voice started to crack.
Fitz pulled her closer and hugged her sideways, "Hey, Jemma, just give her time alright? She's been through a lot and so do you. And you know Skye had some issues on people leaving right? Please just understand her, because believe me or not, she is torn up when she found out you were gone. And she stood up to May just because she wanted to prevent Raina from exposing your cover."
"Yeah, I know, I should think about her feelings. Thank you, Fitz. Wow, you two had gotten closer since I was gone, don't you?"
"We had one thing we miss in common and we also need each other, so yeah.." Fitz mumbled.
After that conversation with Fitz, Jemma tried to give Skye distance and day by day they were getting better. However, Jemma still can't quite get to Skye; they were not like before Jemma was gone to Hydra. Every time she brought up the question about Skye's condition or feeling, Skye shuts her down and leave. And now, the team are relaxing after a mission, all of them had decided to play truth or dare. They are being truly silly right now, even May and Coulson joined them. Well, Jemma did not want to think about Skye. She just wants to have fun. Jemma watches Skye got crazy dares and she got a dare from Hunter to finish one bottle of beer in one gulp. The more they play, the crazier the dares will be.
"Jemmaa! Love!" a half-drunk Hunter hold her hand, "which one are you choosing, truth or dare, m'lady?"
"What? It's my turn?" Jemma scrunched her nose.
"Oh yes it is, don't try to avoid it Jemmah!" Fitz slurred.
"Okay, okay, I choose dare!" Jemma answered.
"Interesting, a dare," Hunter , "what should we give Miss Goody-Two-Shoes here?"
"Well, I've got one," Mack said, his voice boomed, "make-out for 10 seconds with the person closest to you on the Bus."
"What? Is this high-school? What's wrong with you guys?" Jemma rolled her eyes.
"Well, a dare is a dare, Dr. Jemma Simmons," Bobbi winks at her, while nudging Jemma on the shoulder.
"Uhm,okay, here I go," Jemma voice falters a little bit, "by the way, it's just a game right, there will be no repercussions for what will I do now?"
"Don't worry, love, I am certain we will forget all this in the morning," Hunter chuckled silently.
Jemma sighed heavily, and first, she finished her beer, maybe alcohol will help her.
She walked across the room, and she takes Skye's face, and before she kissed her, Jemma whispered, "Sorry if this crossed any boundaries," . Jemma kisses Skye on the neck, not on the lips, she sucks Skye's neck, oh how sweet it tastes. She feels Skye's pulse and sucks on it lightly, then her lips goes to Skye's cheek and to the corner of Skye's mouth and when she was about to brush her lips against Skye's, Bobbi's voice shatters the moment.
"All right, 10 seconds are up, go back to your place, Jemma" said Bobbi while giggling with Fitz and Hunter.
Skye just blushed in her place, her eyes looks upon Jemma, and their eyes locked. Skye gives a sheepish smile toward Jemma and Jemma just nodded embarrassedly.
"I sense you girls want more of this," Mack smirks toward both Jemma and Skye.
"Should we extend the dare, Dr. Simmons?" Hunter says mockingly to Jemma.
"Shush, you guys, no more of it, let's move on" Jemma's face becomes red, remembering the kiss.
"By the way, didn't I say make out before, not just teasing?" Mack asks Jemma, raising his eyebrows.
Jemma pretends not to hear Mack and opens another bottle of beer while offering it to Skye.
"Here," Jemma hands the beer to Skye.
"Thanks Simmons," Skye thanks her.
"I'm sorry about before, Skye," Jemma apologizes.
"No worries, it does not mean anything right?" Skye answers.
"It's just a game," Jemma drinks her beer more.
"Right," Skye forces a smile. Something changed in her face, her smile looks forced and Skye just looks weird. However, Jemma just ignores it and carry on with the game.
The game continues with a variety of hilarious dare and also surprising truth, they get fun and know more about each other. Jemma discovers that Skye is afraid of butterflies, then Hunter gives a lap dance to Bobbi, then Fitz pretending to be a baby to Mack, it was all so funny. Then it's Skye's turn again, and this time she chooses truth.
"So, Skye, truth, this is interesting. We'll just go with a good old-fashioned one okay," Hunter babbles, "what is your greatest fear?"
"Aside from butterflies of course," Mack adds.
Skye's eyes linger on Jemma's for a while and she starts speaking. "My greatest fear is falling in love with somebody," then she lowers her head, "I-I've been afraid of the idea of getting attach to a person, I wanted to be with that person, but I know in the end they will leave me. No one stay, in the end they always leave,"
Everybody is speechless, no one say anything. Fitz starts fiddling with his cardigan; Mack is looking at his fingers, Hunter is staring at Skye, Bobbi is nudging Hunter to start talking again. And Jemma, she just stares into Skye's eyes, she wanted to say that she will never leave Skye, no matter what.
"Oh well, Skye, it does not have to be like that," Bobbi says as she put her arms around Skye.
"Just forget it, " Skye answers as she smiles, "I am not trying to make you guys pity me okay, this is not suppose to be melancholic, let's just continue!" Skye exclaims, raising her glass.
"Yeaa! Let's go!" Bobbi cheers awkwardly while she is eye-contacting the others to change the mood.
And the game keeps on going until about 1.30 a.m., Fitz is the first one to be knock out from the drinks, then Mack follows, Bobbi excuses herself to her room with a flirty smile to Hunter, and Hunter hangs out a while for only five minutes and he excuse himself too, saying he needed to 'rest'. It leaves only Jemma and Skye on the table.
"So, do you want to continue?" Skye asks Jemma.
"I'm up for it if you are, Skye" Jemma answers as she winks toward Skye. What? She winks? Oh God, the alcohol is affecting her.
"Okay, let's just move to my room, it's more comfortable than here, " Skye offers her hand to Jemma as she stands up.
"W-what? Your room?" Jemma blushes.
"Yes, Dr. Simmons," Skye pulls Jemma's hand and as she pulls Jemma up, Jemma's feet stumbled upon the couch and she almost fell. Skye stops Jemma from falling, Skye's hand on Jemma's waist and their faces are inches apart.
"Uh, thank you, let's go to your room, shall we?" Jemma frees herself from Skye's hand as she felt that her cheeks are burning up.
At Skye's room, they both end up on Skye's bed, leaning on the walls, side by side.
"Okay, your turn Jemma,"
"Dare,"
"I…dare you to finish your previous dare to me before,"
"What?"
"If you said that's just a dare you don't need to be freak out, Jemma,"
"Well, it is, but the game was over,"
"No, it does not, why won't you kiss me Jemma? Do you not like me?"
"I, I do, Skye,"
"And what's the problem? I like you Jemma, I do, since the first time I step my feet on this bus,"
"I like you too Skye, but why do you ask me now?"
"I don't know, maybe that dare before just makes me braver, you know what, first time you came back here from Hydra, I was angry but I felt the deep urge to see you, make sure you were safe, but I see that Agent Morse had put you in her best care,"
"W-what? No, it's not like that, I am just so relieved that she was there to save me, we are just friends,"
"Oh yeah? Well, so what am I to you?"
"Now..is not really the time Skye, you're drunk"
"No, Jemma, I. AM. NOT." Skye accentuates her statement. Jemma knows it very well that Skye is drunk and she can't fall to the same mistake again. She does not want to feel that her hopes had just been restored about Skye. This is the longest time the only two of them had been together in one place ever since Jemma came back. The rest of the time Skye was always gone, or Jemma was busy in the lab. And every time Jemma tried to reach Skye, Skye always made up excuses to just avoid Jemma. Now, Skye is there with her, telling her she loves Jemma, but it does not felt right. Jemma knows it very well that Skye is drunk. She does not understand why Skye always told her she loves Jemma or she likes Jemma whenever Skye is drunk. It hurts Jemma more, because she remembers, and Skye won't.
" I can't Skye, go to sleep, we will talk in the morning, if you remember this" Jemma says as she leaves Skye's room swiftly, leaving no chance to Skye to catch up with her.
Jemma closes her room, she sighs, her head is heavy and her heart is hurting. She loves Skye, so much, more than she could ever imagine. However, she does not know what she is to Skye and she does not understand why she always end up with drunk Skye that is playing with her feelings. So Jemma started to cry, for her feelings toward Skye, for her building anxiety that had been there since she went back from Hydra, she cries for what happened and for all the fears and deaths she had been through to make it to this point. She hopes that tomorrow will be a better day, she hopes that Skye could soon talk to her like old times again, she only hopes for Skye as she drifted into her sleep.
What do you guys think? Please R&R! Thanks! xoxo
