"Jemma have ye' seen my- What the bloody hell happened in here?", Leo said as he rounded the corner and entered the laundry room to find Jemma stringing up clotheslines as the washer and dryer sputtered pathetically in the corner.
She was wearing a pair of very short running shorts with the SHIELD Academy logo on them and one of his dress shirts over a plain white vest with mismatched, neon colored ankle socks. Her hair was tied up in a messy ponytail with errant strands floating free.
The plaid shirt came down below the shorts and the sleeves were too long, but Leo didn't mind, after all it was his shirt.
His girlfriend was a vision in deep green plaid and he swore he would never forget such a pretty sight.
Dripping laundry hung from the clothesline Jemma had already strung up and more was stacked on top of the dryer in a clothes basket and the smell of detergent brought him back to reality.
Jemma went adorably red-faced and wide eyed and she smiled.
"Oh... Hello Leo..."
He looked around and blushed when he saw all the very feminine articles of clothing hanging around. Most of it was underwear and socks mixed with blouses, ladies trousers, t shirts, lab coats, and pajamas.
"D'ye need me to fix that?", he sighed and pointed at the two major appliances.
"What? Oh, yes, that'd be wonderful... let me just get the rest of my knickers out of there and I'll be out of your way."
She had to stand on tiptoe to reach into the bottom of the washer affording him a great view of her backside.
He quickly looked away, mentally chastising himself for even looking in the first place. It didn't matter if they were dating or not, he had to keep himself under control.
She emerged with a handful of colorful cotton knickers, some of them with patterns on them and she began hanging them up while he inspected the machines.
He left to get his tools and when he returned, Jemma was sorting out dirty laundry into different loads and baskets on the other side of the room with her back to him and he sighed before going to work.
Leo had been into engineering for the longest time (since he was just a wee lad), so it was no surprise that he had the machines fixed and running in no time.
"Ye' know, ye' look very nice in my shirt...", Leo said as he came up behind Jemma and kissed her on the cheek before wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder.
"You know, I think I like this shirt... may I borrow it?", Jemma asked, turning around in his arms to peck him lightly on the lips.
Leo sighed and kissed her nose, smiling when she crinkled it up and blushed.
"I'm not getting it back am I?", Leo asked, grinning down at his girlfriend.
She giggled and kissed him back.
"Not a chance...", she whispered.
And that was fine by Leo.
