Some Christmas cuteness for these two, and a lovely little reminder of Snowflake. Hope you enjoy!

Also, I watched Not Another Happy Ending last night. Excellent movie, and Iain's in it. He's absolutely adorable!

"So do you know what you're going to get Skye for Christmas?"

Leo almost dropped the holographic piece that he was working with on the Holotable, but managed to catch it before it reattached to the rest of the machine he was examining. He turned to stare at his best friend.

"What? Why-why do you want to know?" he babbled to her. "Why do you want to know about her? Shouldn't you ask about your own gift? Why are you so curious about what I want to do for Skye? What-"

His rambling was cut off by Simmons cocking her head and giving her a knowing look. Leo sighed and began to turn back to the Holotable.

"You like her, don't you?"

Leo froze for a moment. "That's-that's ridiculous!" he sputtered, shaking his head. "Me and Skye? Simmons, what would make you think that? I don't…we're not…we're totally different people. We would never work, yeah?"

He chuckled weakly and tried to smile while ignoring how hard it had hurt to say those words. Simmons didn't seem fazed though, based on the little smirk that was creeping across her face. Leo sighed and dropped his act.

"But you're still going to get her something right?" Simmons sat down on the stool beside the Holotable.

"'course I am. It's Christmas," he scoffed, sitting down beside her. "I don't know what though. I mean, what do you get a girl?"

"Well, you've done pretty well with me in the past," Jemma teased playfully. Leo looked at her pleadingly. "Oh, I'm just kidding. What you need to do is get her something that's simple, but lets Skye know you care about her."

"Like what?"

Simmons shrugged. "I don't know, that's up to you. Just find a good memory that you two shared together, and build off that. Find something that relates to it."

Leo nodded and Simmons patted his shoulder. He closed his eyes and let his thoughts travel back through the memories he and Skye had shared together. Doctor Who marathons. The undercover mission where they had to pretend to be a couple. Baking her the cake with Ward and Simmons. Building a snowman with her in the cargo bay in Norway. Watching the snow fall…

"I think I've got an idea," he murmured, sliding off the stool and running out of the lab to his bunk to grab his coat.


"And this one's from me," Leo said, passing Skye the small box wrapped in red paper with a gold ribbon.

Skye smiled and unwrapped it. She opened the box and gasped. "Oh, Fitz."

Reaching inside, she pulled out the necklace with a silver snowflake on it. Skye covered her mouth with one hand and glanced at him with delight. "It's beautiful," she murmured, putting it on. "Norway, right?"

Leo nodded, readjusting his TARDIS scarf that Skye had given to him. Skye crawled off the couch and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you, Fitz," she told him, kissing him on the cheek. "Merry Christmas."

Leo blushed beet red. "Merry Christmas, Skye," he replied, looking over at where Simmons was sitting beside Ward, laughing about something he had just said. She caught his eye and winked.
