So, here is day three, a Fitzsimmons as requested. It isn't quite as fluffy and cute as I would've liked, it's actually a bit serious, but I like it. In about two or three chapters we'll have a cutesie one for them!
Jemma had always been the love of his life, there was no doubt about it. He loved her.
"So are you guys like best friends or lovers or what?" Skye asked, wiggling her eyebrows.
"No," he replied. "We're soul mates."
"That's romantic," Skye made one of her 'awe' faces. "Kind of intense, but completely adorable."
"It is intense," Fitz shrugged. "But it's also simple. There's more than friendship, but there's more than love. She's the most important thing to me in the world. I don't know how else to explain it, really."
"If Simmons was flying a plane into the ground, what would you do?" Ward challenged.
"Get on the plane with her."
Ward made a face. "That's not very practical—
"I said I'd get on the plane with her. If she goes down, I go down too."
"It may not be practical, buts it's romantic," Skye said pointedly to Ward. "I think y'all have an awesome relationship and I'm jealous."
He hadn't known Jemma was listening to the conversation. When Christmas came, however, it didn't take much for him to figure out she had. The team gathered around a decorated tree (compliments of Skye and Jemma) and opened presents from one another. Fitz reached for Jemma's automatically. He unwrapped it, surprised at the sight of a block of glass. Inside of it was an etching of an old-fashioned plane. Along the bottom edge was the words, You go down, I go down with you.
He knew instantly. Skye seemed to have forgotten about the conversation and shrugged, but commented that it was cute. This was the common reaction, but it meant the world to Fitz. He nodded impressively at Jemma.
"You heard," he said, fingering the beautiful glass box he held.
"Yes," she replied taking his hand and blushing. "I love you too, Leo."
Fitz couldn't stop the boyish grin spreading across his face. Honestly, that was the best thing he could ever ask for, and the best Christmas present by far.
