Thank you so much to my reviewers and followers and favouriters because I love you all! So much. Thanks for showing me that the Skye/Fitz pairing was not just me in a sea of Fitzsimmonds.
I'm going to start a longer Skitz story very soon, so I hope you'll all review and follow that when it's up :)

G is for Girlfriend
It all started when they built a pillow fort in the living room.
Skye wasn't even sure why, or how, they were building up the cushions and blankets and pillows, but they were, and the expression of almost childlike fascination on Leo's face made her heart beat that little bit faster.
Was it odd that Leo's childish mannerisms were the ones that endeared him to her? She hoped not.
"This is brilliant!" he exclaimed, as he clambered in through the side, between Jemma's Hello Kitty blanket and Skye's SpongeBob towel. "Come on!"
Skye didn't miss a beat. No sooner had she investigated the interior was she being pulled next to her boyfriend. Her bum landed rather painfully on the carpet, but she didn't bring it up.
"This is," she laughed. "Pretty cool, I'll give you that."
"Pretty cool?" Leo's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "Pretty cool? Skye - I used to blueprints of the B.U.S. to construct this! It's a work of art!"
Skye eyed Coulson's 'secret' Captain America blankie, and raised an eyebrow. But it was impossible to argue with Leo at the best of times, and currently he was sending her a look with the biggest puppy dog eyes you could imagine.
"It's awesome," she relented, finally, raising her arms in mock surrender. "It's awesome, laddie!" Skye added, in her best (most terrible) Scottish accent.
"That's terrible," Leo rolled his eyes. "You were the worst fake girlfriend ever, just so you know."
"What about me as a real girlfriend?"
"I dunno, I'll have to think about it..."
"Come on Leo..."
"I'm biased."
Skye could feel his breath on her neck now. He had been delightfully awkward to begin with, holding open doors and wiping his palms on his trousers every few minutes.
Maybe that was why she had never actually kissed him.
This time, Leo didn't pull away, and neither do she. Skye just sat there, her heart hammering in her throat. Was he really going to... Kiss her?
It seemed like he was having second thoughts though, because the ticklish feeling on her neck didn't move, or even shift. Skye fought the urge to roll her eyes - she was perfectly aware that Leo was a newbie to all of these feelings, but wasn't it a bit... Excessive?
Skye couldn't stand it anymore. "Oh, come on," she sighed, before wrenching her head to one side and grabbing Leo's chin in her left hand, resting her right hand on his shoulder.
She wanted dearly to smash her face onto his, but she made do with a feather-light kiss that left her heart racing. It was just as awkward as she remembered her first kiss being, but it felt real this time.
Her eyes flickered shut before she could stop them. Her grip tightened on Leo's shoulder. Her breathing sped up.
"Are you okay?" she asked him, after she had regained her speech. Leo seemed to be stuck, like a broken record, his eyes staring at hers.
"...yes," he said, after a while. A blush rose to his face, like he had just realised what had occurred. "I... Skye... I..."
"What are you two doing?"
Skye jumped out of her skin as Ward ripped open the blankets that had been pinned at the top of the fort. Her S.O. looked from his trainee, to Leo, and back again, before he realised what had happened.
"What's the date?" he checked his watch quickly, before muttering a curse under his breath. "Dammit, that means I have to pay Jemma twenty..."
"You were taking bets?" Leo blurted, his face the perfect picture of disbelief. "On us?"
On any normal day, Leo would be mortified, running after Ward, praying him not to tell the whole plane. But...
Rather than worry, he chose to lean in and press his lips against Skye's again.
