Fitz's POV
"Jemma!" Fitz shot up with a gasp. His heart was pounding in his chest. He lifted up his hand to wipe his sweat and tear streaked face. "It was just a bad dream." he told himself shakily. He dreamed of the moment she looked at him with sad eyes and jumped off the bus, then they were back in the pod under the ocean, only this time there was no possible way they could get out. The dream then shifted to inside the cave as rocks and dirt fell around them. It felt so real. Jemma kissing his face in the pod as water flooded in, and his arms around her, protecting her from the rubble crashing down in the cave. But no matter how much he tried, he always lost her in the end. The dream kept on changing. One minute she was there the next, she was gone.
Fitz couldn't take it anymore. It was driving him insane just laying there. He had to see her, just peek in to see if she was alright. Fitz dragged himself out of bed and walked to the door. That's when he head music coming from the hallway. "that's odd." He thought to himself, as he tiptoed out of his room. Fitz walked to the room next to his: Jemma's room. The door to her room was ajar and there was no sign of her anywhere. He followed the music to the kitchen and was relieved to see Jemma there with her back to him.
Jemma turned around to look at him. She was wearing dark blue tardis pajama bottoms and an old tee shirt. Her light brown hair fell in cascading waves down her shoulders. At that moment, Fitz just stared mesmerized. She looked so beautiful.
"Bad dreams too?" He asked her
"Yeah" Jemma say sighing
The song playing slowed to an end and silence replaced it as a new one started. The new song sounded slow and calming.
"Dance with me Jemma." Fitz suddenly blurted out. He felt his cheeks redden.
"What...? Leo."
"Dance with me." He repeated more confidently.
"Ok."
Fitz placed his hands on her hips, as she put her arms around his neck. They began slowly swaying around the kitchen.
Fitz glanced down and met her amber eyes.
"What did you dream about?" he whispered after awhile
Jemma took a shaky breath.
"It was so bad." she paused and glanced away from his eyes. "You were in the coma and... you...you were gone. You didn't wake up and I couldn't do anything to save you."
"Shhh, it was just a dream. I'm still here and I'm not leaving you." Fitz said as he wiped away a tear from Jemma's cheek. "I've been having bad dreams too, but we'll get through it together. I promise."
She layed her head on his shoulder and he stroked her long hair as they swayed in circles.
"I know it wasn't real, but what if it was?" Jemma asked and lifted her head up to look at him. Her eyebrows scrunched together in concern. Fitz gazed into her deep beautiful eyes. "I don't know what I would do without you." "I...I love you Leo." Jemma searched his face.
That's all he needed to hear. Fitz couldn't help but grin. "I love you too Jem."
She pressed her lips to his and he cupped her face as he deepened the kiss. Fitz pulled away and rested his forehead against her's. He brushed his thumbs against her cheeks and they gazed into each other's eyes as the song ended and faded out into silence.
