Drabble 13: Never Have I Ever…

This is for Spitfire303.

"I'm bored." Skye said.

Fitz looked over to the hacktivist and smiled. She was lying on the floor a few feet away from him, on her stomach with her laptop open in front of her. Trip was next to her, and Hunter next to him. Simmons was next to Fitz, but a little bit away, talking with Bobbi. Mack was talking with Coulson in his office at the moment, and May was piloting the Bus.

"We could play a game." Trip suggested.

"What sort of game?" Hunter asked.

Trip sighed and leaned back, putting his arms behind his head. "I don't know… never have I ever?"

"That's a kid's game." Hunter said.

Bobbi stood up. "I know how to make it an adult's game. Drinks."

Hunter grinned at her, but Fitz shook his head. "We're just waiting for Coulson's orders. We can't drink right now."

"Fine." Bobbi said. "I'm still getting something though. Who wants a soda?"

Ten minutes later they were all sitting in a somewhat circular shape, facing each other. They each had a non-alcoholic drink in front of them, and there was a bowl of chips in the middle. Bobbi gave everyone a shot glass and winked at Fitz.

"It's not alcohol, but you have to take a shot of whatever you have instead of putting down a finger. That way it's more fun!"

Fitz smiled. "Alright. I'm good with that."

"I'll start." Skye said. "And then Trip." She leaned in closer to him. "This'll give you time to think of a good one." She put a finger to her lips as she thought. "Hmmm… oh! Never have I ever… been a scientist."

"Oh, now that's not fair!" Simmons said, laughing.

"I've never been a scientist. What's so unfair about that?" Skye asked innocently.

Simmons poured some soda into the shot glass, and Fitz did the same. "Cheers." He said. They clinked their glasses together, and then swallowed the bit of soda.

"Just wait for my turn, Skye." Simmons said.

Skye smirked and looked at Trip. "You're up."

"Alright." He said. "Never have I ever kissed a teammate."

There was a collective groan, and everyone picked up their soda cans and shot glasses- including Fitz-Simmons.

"Wait, all of you have kissed teammates?" Trip asked. "What sort of crazy team did I join?"

"You know Bobbi and I have kissed." Hunter said. "We used to be married."

"And now we're teammates, so by default, we've kissed teammates."

"Alright." Trip said. "But you guys too?" he said as he looked at Skye, Fitz, and Simmons.

"I kissed Ward before I knew he was HYDRA." Skye said. "I'd rather not talk about it."

Trip looked to Fitz and Simmons. "What about you two?"

Fitz met Simmons's eyes and they smiled at each other. "You might not have heard this story." He said. "But it happened before any of you joined the team. Except Skye, of course."

"We had a mysterious case, where floating bodies kept showing up. We found out that the death of the people and the reason they were found floating was a helmet infected with an alien virus. It was passed through electrostatic shock, and I felt a shock when we encountered the first body." Simmons said.

"Jemma was infected, and we worked as hard as we could to find an antiserum. But she knocked me out when one of our attempts failed, because she knew time was running out. What she didn't know, and what I realized when I woke up, was that the antiserum did work, it just needed time to take effect."

"I jumped off the Bus after Fitz woke up. He tried to follow me with a parachute and the antiserum, but Ward was faster. He caught me in the air and administered the antiserum. When I woke up we were back on the Bus."

"I felt bad about not saving her myself, but Jemma told me that I hadn't done anything wrong. Then she kissed me on the cheek." Fitz looked around the group. "That's how it happened."

Everyone was quiet for a minute.

"That's not as funny as I thought it would be." Bobbi said.

"I was expecting some story starting with 'I was so drunk'. It seems like that's why a lot of kisses happen." Hunter said. Bobbi rolled her eyes and he grinned. "You know that's what happened with us, love."

Skye shook her head. "Sorry Fitz. I know that was really sweet, but that doesn't count. That's a friendship kiss. On the cheek. It only counts if it's on the lips."

"It really depends on the person if that kiss was romantic or not." Fitz said quietly.

Simmons squeezed his hand. "Alright Skye. There's another time we kissed."

Skye perked up right away, looking surprised. So did everyone else.

"There's no going back now." Fitz said, looking at Jemma carefully. "It was a while ago, late one night at the Academy. We were both extremely overtired, and I asked if I could kiss her."

"I said he could if he could beat me in a game of Scrabble, and it was the worst defeat I'd ever had. So he leaned in close, and he kissed me."

"And she kissed me back." Fitz said. "Then we said goodnight and went to our rooms, and the next morning we were back to normal."

"That's actually pretty -." Trip started to say.

"Why didn't you ever tell me that?!" Skye asked. "I didn't know you guys had kissed!"

"Relax, sweetheart. There wasn't that much spice in the story." Hunter said.

"How do you know?" Bobbi said. "That seems pretty big to me." She looked at Fitz and Simmons. "Was it really like that? You kissed once and then never talked about it again?"

"I wouldn't say we never talked about it." Simmons said.

Fitz gave her a light smile. "We both decided that it was best to not act again. It was right before we became best friends, when we both thought maybe we would be a couple. But we didn't want it to get complicated."

"And you never told any of us." Skye said. "Have you ever thought of starting anything up now?"

"Don't you think that's a bit personal?" Trip asked Skye.

"Obviously." Skye replied. "But come on, you two know you have a connection. Haven't you thought about… trying it out?"

Fitz poured some soda in his glass, drank it, and set the glass down forcefully. "Next person."

"Fitz." Simmons said. She put a hand on his for a second. "I need to do one thing before we continue with the game."

"What?" he asked.

"This." She leaned in and brushed her lips against his, and a second after his shock faded he kissed her back softly. Then she leaned back in her spot and looked at his eyes, silently asking him a question.

He stared back at her, and the smallest of smiles tugged at his lips. I'm fine. He told her silently. I'm better than fine.

She smiled back. "We'll see where the night takes us, yeah?"

"Yeah." He said. Was she really willing to think about a relationship again, after so long?

The look in her eyes told him that yes, she was serious. Maybe it had just taken the other team members to make her remember how close they had come to a relationship before. She was willing to give it a real chance this time.

"I'm going next." Fitz said, grinning. "Get ready to fill your glasses."
