Another day, another drabble. We're going down on the final ten, guys!
Shout-out to erburnham02 for sending me fluff a long time ago that helped inspire me for this. It was gorgeous and I loved it so much! Thank you!

"It's amazing out here tonight," Skye sighed dreamily from outside.
Leo felt the urge to go outside and see what exactly Skye was admiring. At the same time, the poker game he was playing with Ward and Simmons was promising a very nice victory for him, and a defeat of the specialist was something he'd wanted since he'd folded in the game post-Amador mission. His latest method of getting over his hopeless growing crush on Skye was avoidance.
Simmons cleared her throat loudly. Leo looked up to see her and Ward glaring at him. Simmons jerked her head toward the porch of the beach house. The team had taking a week-long vacation so Skye could get to know her newfound parents better. Turned out that May and Coulson were actually Skye's parents, and they had been the reason for her panic attack in the SUV.
Jemma coughed a little louder, but Leo told himself to stay firmly in his seat. If he stayed in his seat, he would not babble like an idiot and embarrass himself.
"Fitz!" Simmons hissed, kicking him in the shin.
Ward was giving him a look that told him not to keep antagonizing Simmons. Wanting to avoid the specialist and his angry face, Leo folded quickly and walked out onto the porch. Skye was sitting on the railing, legs swinging back and forth as she gazed out at the ocean. Looking out in that direction, he could understand why it was so amazing. Sunset had changed the sky into a blend of orange and pink and yellow. It was as beautiful as the girl sitting on the railing he was now leaning on. The beautiful girl whose smile was as radiant as the sun itself.
"Hey," she greeted, flashing the smile at him.
Leo nodded in response. "Sky's gorgeous tonight," was all he could come up with.
Skye turned around and hopped off the railing onto the porch beside him. She copied his stance, leaning against the railing. "It really is incredible," she agreed dreamily.
"Yeah," he replied, smiling wistfully to himself.
But the sky above him wasn't the only one he was talking about.
