Letters

Dear Leo,

You know how there's this thing where you write a letter to someone so you can get out all the anger you have pent up against them. It does work (I know because I wrote one to Miles after the incident. I swore a lot in it and even though I burned it, I felt better afterwards), but this time it isn't. I know because this is the twelfth one of these that I've written to you in the past year. They're all in a little folder under my mattress because I just can't destroy them.

But I'm not writing this because I'm upset with you. It's more like I'm upset with myself. I'm in love with you, Leo. And I'm mad because I don't know how to tell you.

Up until I came onto the team, I had no one but Rising Tide and a garbage boyfriend. I was selfish, wanting to get in SHIELD because just so I could find my parents. All I even knew about SHIELD was that they covered stuff up that people deserved to know about. I hated secrets because my entire life was a big one that I could not figure out. Then I got busted in the middle of my broadcast, and you know the rest of the story. Or at least some of it.

The truth is I fell for you immediately. For the first time in my life, I realized that what I felt for you, all those feelings I was experiencing, was actually love. You've always been there for me, Leo. Even when I don't deserve it, you are still there. You've made me laugh, showed me amazing things, but one thing I really love about you (aside from your eyes and your ability to understand me) is that you always have a shoulder free for me. When I was having a panic attack, you didn't run away or judge me. You came into the van and calmed me down. All the times I've doubted myself, you built me back up.

When Quinn shot me, I was scared of a lot of things. The big one was death, but I was terrified that he was going to kill you next. The last thing I remember before I lost consciousness was hoping-praying-that you were safe. Next thing I knew, I was waking up in the med pod with you sitting beside me and the entire team crowded around the bed.

Simmons told me later how you went in with Coulson and Ward and Ward's SO to go get the GH-325 to save me. Then a few months later, you come and save me again, except I almost froze to death that time. I don't think I'll ever forget the four hours we spent with Helga inside her shop while we waited for the storm to blow over.

I guess what I'm trying to say through all my rambling is that you're really important to me, Leo. I want you to know this because I love you. I love everything about you. Your brains, your smiel, your eyes, your personality, your love of Doctor Who. There is nothing that is more perfect to me than the things that make you up.

This is probably going to go with the rest of the letters in the folder. But one day, I'm going to ask you out. I would try today, but yesterday you and Simmons went off to that conference to speak and I won't see you for a while. I don't know if you feel the same way I do, but I want to still give it a shot. Just gotta hope that nothing can cut it short. Hopefully the world can take a break from the usual craziness so that we can go out for dinner or a movie sometime.

Love,

Skye

Ta-da!
