A/N: I would like to thank everyone for reviewing. Please feel free to let me know what you think, even if you don't like something! I'm aiming to break 100 reviews with either this chapter or the next!
Coulson let them all lie in. They had a late night and were more than likely going to be having another. Being alone also gave him time to process the previous night and Ward not wanting to work with Skye. True they had both gone to bed early and together the previous night, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right. He heard a movement from May's bunk. She was getting up to do her daily Tai Chi. He made a decision to ask her about it.
He got dressed and followed May to the workout room.
"May. I need to ask you something." He said to her as he entered the workout room, making her jump.
"What about?" She asked as she regained her position and started completing the slow, methodical martial arts moves.
"Did you talk to Ward last night?"
"Well we were pretending to be married so yeah..."
"Did you talk to him about him and Skye and why he switched the teams?" He asked, using a more direct approach, knowing May would answer any other question without actually answering it.
She continued her movement, put all of her thoughts into keeping her breathing rate even. As she moved she wondered what she should tell him. If she didn't answer the question then he would worry that allowing Skye and Ward to be together was a mistake, on the other hand, if she told him the truth then that was a can of worms she wasn't sure she was ready to open yet.
"May. I'm waiting for an answer." Coulson said, his voice penetrating her thoughts.
"Yes. I did talk to him about it."
"Are they having problems?" He prodded.
"Not that he told me."
"Did he tell you why he changed the teams?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
Clearly Coulson wasn't going to let this drop, so May stopped moving and turned away from him. She couldn't look at him and say what she was about to.
"Because of me. Because of how I feel."
"Feel about what?" Coulson asked, slightly confused.
"You. Because of how I feel for you!" May screamed at Coulson, before storming past him, out of the door and towards the cargo ramp.
Skye and Ward had seen the whole thing. Ward had awoken earlier and Skye was using his chest as a pillow so he decided to get some reading in so that he didn't wake her. He heard May leave for her work out, then he heard someone else sneaking around. So he got up to investigate, accidentally waking Skye in the process. They followed Coulson, who they quickly realised was following May. He had left the door open when he went in the workout room.
They heard everything.
Skye went to talk to Coulson and Ward caught up to May.
"Hey!" He said to her as she opened the cargo door.
"You heard?"
"Everything. Run?"
"You're not dressed for one"
"Gimmie five?"
"Whatever."
"Wait for me outside."
"Hey AC. You ok?"
"Not now Skye."
"Just so you know. I heard everything."
"You did?"
"Yeah, but it's ok. Most of us already knew."
Coulson looked at her open mouthed, not knowing what to say.
"You do know you're going to have to talk to her about it right?" Skye continued.
"Skye!" Coulson said with a warning tone that said 'shut up' behind it.
"What? the kids don't like it when mummy and daddy fight!"
"You saying me and May are the parent of this loony bus and the rest of you are the kids?"
"Yep" Skye told him, popping the 'p' for emphasis.
"You do realise that makes what you and Ward do incest?"
"Hey! Every family has it's problems!" She laughed as she left the workout room to go get some breakfast.
