Simple

For as long as she could remember, Skye had only had the simple, basic necessities. She'd grown up with food and water and shelter that were able to satisfy her needs. Her want for a family, however, had taken a lot longer to fulfill (twenty-four years, to be exact). She'd found her parents through a complicated mess of events. Now, after they were deciding to remarry, Skye wanted to make something special, yet simple, for the private party being thrown in celebration of the engagement.

Something like chocolate chip cookies.

When she was eleven, one foster mother had taught her how to bake cookies. They'd used the recipe off the back of the bag of chocolate chips, and Skye remembered sneaking bits of the dough until she was told they wouldn't have enough to bake the cookies if she didn't stop eating it. She's sat in front of the oven while they baked, and burned her tongue when she grabbed one fresh off the pan when they first came out.

The timer rang, pulling her out of her thoughts and back to reality. Skye whirled around and opened the oven door. As she pulled out the tray and set it on top of the stove to cool, a scraping noise came from behind her. Peering over her shoulder, Skye rolled her eyes at Leo, who was pulling a spoon from his mouth. A blob of dough that had been hanging on the side of the bowl was now missing, and had most likely gone into his mouth.

"Good dough," he told her after swallowing. "What are the cookies for?"

"Mom and Dad's party," Skye slapped his hand as he tried to take another spoonful. "Where you can have them there."

Leo pouted. "Just one cookie?" he asked, moving close beside her.

She shook her head. "Even my boyfriend is going to have to wait."

"Are you sure about that?" Leo held up one of the hot cookies in front of her and took a bite. He had reached to the tray behind them and grabbing it while he was talking.

"Distracting me? Really?" Skye raised her eyebrow. There was a little smear of chocolate at the corner of his mouth, and it was becoming very distracting. But it also gave her an idea. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "I can play that game."

With that, she leaned in and kissed him. She could taste the chocolate on his lips and the sweetness of the cookie came through in there too. His arm curled around her waist and she pressed closer to him, deepening the kiss.

"Seriously?"

Skye froze and broke away from Leo's lips. The two looked at the doorway to the kitchen. Ward and Simmons were standing in there. The specialist was giving them a stony look, arms crossed over his chest. His fiancée looked somewhere between pleased and disturbed.

"We eat in here," he grumbled before turning around and leaving. Simmons followed after him.

"Yeah, and we sit on that couch!" Skye called out as the couple left.

Awww
