So the reason I called this fan fiction "Hold My Hand" was because of the song by The Fray, at the moment I have become slightly obsessed with the song and I thought it would fit the characters quite well, I realised that I've not really expressed the words in the song into my story (If you haven't listened to it - it's a lovely song). So if you're confused (you might not care - I dunno!) on the name of the story then that was my thinking behind it. Annyyywayyyy, here is chapter 3!

Also, apologies this has taken so long to write - I have been to Amsterdam in the last week to see Nightwish! :)

Leo watched her leave, his mind going into overdrive re-living the last five minutes. Like Jemma, he had gone through this date over and over in his head, although the outcomes he'd thought out were a lot different from what had just happened. Had he just ruined his one chance with his perfect woman? As if a light bulb had just switched on in his brain he stood up, hastily throwing more than enough money down to cover the meal he wasn't going to eat and ran out of the restaurant.

"Jemma?!" He called, looking around he saw her skulking off. His eyes widened and he ran towards her

"Jemma!" He caught up to her and stood in front of her grabbing her shoulder. "Wait."

"Bugger off Fitz" Jemma sighed. It was taking everything she had not to burst into tears right in front of him. "I don't want to talk to you" she whispered breaking the grip from his hand and moving away

"No Jemma, you need to listen to me" He grabbed hold of her hand and she stopped walking, looking up at him.

"I think you've done enough damage for one night.." She murmured, trying to discreetly wipe a stray tear from her eye.

"I know, and I'm sorry...Shit Jemma, please don't cry..." guilt swept over him as he dug into his pocket in search for a tissue. When he couldn't find one he mumbled something inaudible and gently wiped her tear with his hand. "I shouldn't have said what I did, I was upset that you only look at what could go wrong with us" He led her over to a small wall and they both sat down "I am so grateful for everything you have done for me, you saved my life and I don't know how I could ever repay you for that, but then you also left me..."

"Fitz I had to go! They needed me to go undercover and you weren't recovering well, I thought if I left..."

"You thought if you left I'd forget about you, and forget all my feelings for you and you'd come back and everything would be fine"

"You can hardly blame me Fitz. We never talked about what you said and I thought if I left it would help you"

"But it didn't, I became isolated, I would talk to myself and act like you were there for Christ sake."

"But when I came back you shut me out!"

"I had to!"

"Then you can't be annoyed at me for leaving Fitz, you shut me out just as much"

Leo sighed, shrugging slightly to show he had lost the argument. Jemma looked over at him and gently leant her head on his shoulder "We're a bit of a mess aren't we?" she whispered

"A bit?" He scoffed "we're a train wreck."

Jemma smiled slightly "Maybe we can't date" She felt Leo's body stiffen and looked up at him and taking her head off of his shoulder. "I didn't mean it like that.. I mean, I think we know each other too well...The dates I've been on have been with"

"Complete morons" Leo mumbled, wincing as he felt Jemma's elbow jab into him "Ow!"

"You deserved it, they have not been morons, albeit...Some of them haven't been perfect"

"Which guy do you mean there Simmons? The one who was a professional balloon sculptor or the one who thought Quidditch should be an Olympic sport?"

"Leo Fitz, are you mocking my choices in men?"

"Maybe." He grinned feeling as if the playfulness between the two coming back to them

"I'd be careful considering last week I agreed to go on a date with you.. and given the outcome of the dinner you're not one to mock" She winked at him

Leo's eyes widened slightly "Shit, of course...Sorry Jemma, I wasn't being fai-"

"Joking, Fitz." She smiled "Anyway back to my point, we're best friends, we know everything about each other... most dates are spent getting to know one another...Unfortunately we don't have that"

"Well that's not true" Leo spoke slowly, allowing a few seconds for his brain to process his thoughts "We're best friends, yes. We know everything about each other? Hell no, there are hundreds of things I don't know about you... and vice-versa."

"You know everything about me that is important, everything else is just is just..pointless" she spoke softly, as if she didn't want to delve into her past life, her past memories.

"It's not pointless." He stated "Nothing about you is pointless"

Jemma's eyes looked up into his "You're infuriating, one minute I want to kick you and punch you and scream at you, and the next you just say the sweetest things"

"Yeah...It's kinda my move" He chuckled awkwardly. "Okay, so new plan, we go to that burger van over there, get the greasy bacon cheese burger they do and ask questions, things we don't know about each other, small pointless, silly things that mean nothing to anyone." He smiled standing up and offering her his hand "And it will be amazing."

"It certainly sounds it" She beamed, slipping her hand into his and standing up "Lets go"

Okay so this was really hard to write, I can't fully decide whether a relationship between these two would work, or whether it would be dreadful, it's also very short and I'm sorry for that, in return I will do my best to make chapter four a bit more interesting and with a lot more content.
