AN: finally got away a bit from school and had this short bit written. It's really nothing but it came to me so here ya go. Give me prompts so I could work on that too if i can. I have yet to update my steggy one-shots and im thinking of writing an hp multi-chap or a glee multi-chap but that's also just a thought.


Coulson appeared on the doorway by the kitchen with a resigned sigh as he looked at May helplessly. May smirked at him, "they kicked you out?"

"They kicked me out."

"I did warn you not to go in."

Coulson scoffed, "technically I'm their boss, and none, I mean, none of them, have such great experiences in the kitchen. After the couple of weeks we had, I do want to enjoy an edible meal, thank you very much."

May just rolled her eyes and went back to the report she was doing. Normally, she would have preferred to do it in her own room or Coulson's office, however, seeing as three young agents decided to take over the kitchen, she thought best to be in near distance in case of emergency.

After a bunch of squeals, dropped cookware, and hollered reassurances, Coulson entered the kitchen again and stopped dead in his spot. "What have you done to my kitchen?!"

May smirked and stood up from her position at the island and joined the others. The sight that greeted her made her cringe, the sink looked like a trash bin, puddles of water cover the floor, there were spilled sauce on the stove, it looked like a hurricane passed through. She could feel the man beside her fuming and decided to diffuse the tension.

Skye and FitzSimmons bowed their heads but couldn't stop snickering from time to time. It had been a fun experience for them even though they would probably be on the receiving end of Coulson's anger. May broke the silence and spoke up, "come on, put the dishes out in the table before we get this place all sorted out."

Three guilty-looking agents scurried after one another in getting the food out to the small dining area before coming back to the kitchen. They started cleaning up, occasionally glancing at Coulson who still stood by the door with his arms crossed. May, who noticed the worried glances from the three, cleared her throat and approached Coulson, "are you seriously sulking over here just because of your kitchen?"

Coulson sighed in exasperation and was about to say something when May cut him off, "you might wanna give them a break too, Phil."

After an awkwardly quiet dinner, Coulson decided to clear the air and sighed, "I would like to apologize to the three of you. I overreacted. However," she caught a warning look from May and he raised his hand before he smiled at the three young agents, "you did quite a good job on dinner tonight. So thank you. I'm impressed and surprised to be honest."

"Yeah, this stuff's heaven," Hunter commented over his mouthful of food.

The rest of the team chuckled and they were able to enjoy their dessert over fun banters and laughter.

It's nights like this that reminded them of how easy and normal life can be. Something as simple as a family dinner, it can really lift the weight of the world for a moment.
