Jemma opens the door to Fitz's bunker, he was asleep which wasn't suprinsing considering it was 2.30 am.
«Fitz, Fitz wake up» jemma whisperd carefully to not wake anyone else up
«Jemma?» Fitz said in his confused sleepy voice «what are you doing in here?»
«i couldn't sleep» Jemma said closing the door behind her «im so worried about Skye»
Fitz sat up alittle.
More awake now, he lifted up the covers and moved over so Jemma could lay beside him.
«i know me too, she has been through so much already and now she has alian powers that no one knows anything about»
«im doing everything i can, but i seem to become more and more clueless everyday» Jemma said in the sadest of tones in her voice
«aw come here» Fitz emraced her in a warm teddy bear hug.
And thats just what jemma needed right now just someone holding her and she wouldnt have it be any other than Leopold Fitz
«im sorry i left» Fitz let her go with a serious expression on his face
«you were sent on a mission, Jemma i get i-»
«no» Jemma cut him off «no, i coulson gave me a choice, i chose to leave» fitz's expression turned from serious to confused with a hint of angry
«why? Why would you purposly leave when i needed you the most» there was this hurt in his voice that made jemma feel like she had a ton of rocks in the pit of her stomach
«because, you had just told me how you felt and i needed some time to decide how i felt about it»
«Jemma its okay i know you don't feel the same way, you dont have to explain anything to me, you never saw me as anything more than a friend and ill get over it»
Jemma felt tears running down her cheeks
«we have been friends for years now fitz and i didnt want to ruin our working dynamic by possiby having a romantic relationship with you»
at this point fitz was so confused he didnt even know what to say
«you are my best friend in the world, fitz but considering we have been close to dying on several occasions i have come to realize that i couldn't imagine my world without you and when you said you wanted to leave the lab it didn't just hurt it was like someone stabbed 100 knifes in my heart»
Fitz had moved closer, their faces so close she could feel the warmth of his breath on her face she could barley see anything because of the tears in her eyes and then she felt Fitz's hand on her cheeck drying her tears.
«don't cry jemma, its okay» he kissed her forhead gently
jemma felt this pulse in her stomach like butterflies trying to escape
«leo?»
Yeh?»
she kissed him softly on the lips, caught leo off guard but he soon deepend the kiss, they pulled away for air and just laid there starring at eachother smiling. Leo pulled Jemma in for a hug and they laid there cuddling both falling asleep to the comfterable humming sound of the aircraft soaring through the air.
«so this is what you guys do when you're not in the lab»
Leo and jemma awoke and saw May standing over them with an amused but stern look on her face
«this is not- i mean we weren't-» fitz tried to explain
«what fitz is trying to say» jemma took over «is that we are perfectly aware of the rules on this plane and we did not engage in sexual relations last night i just came in to talk to him and we happend to fall asleep»
«ehh yeh what she said» fitz said looking as red as a tomato
«okay to the lab both of you, now!» may said smiling as she walked away
