SPOILER FREE

~~~

You've recently joined SHIELD as a field agent and you were assigned to be on Phil Coulson's team. You were happy, ecstatic, overwhelmed, maybe. You always dreamed of being apart of shield and now you were apart of Agent Phil's team? A dream come true! You instantly became friends with Fitz and Simmons, you three were inseparable. Even though you were a field agent and they were scientist, it was rare to not see all three of you together. Skye became a sister you never had; you two poked fun at each other, talked about boys you liked and watched movies that you never had the chance to, it was a Friday tradition you two had unless there was a mission. But shortly after Fitz and Simmons finding out you two were having a movie night, the whole team would kick back and relax for that evening, even if they just slept through the movie, you were glad everyone had time to rest. Even though you spent years and years training to become an agent, Melinda still found excuse after excuse to train you. You would keep responding with stuff such as, "I've done this move already!" But Melinda would reply with an excuse that you couldn't find a response back to. It would normally be something like.

"Practice makes perfect (Y/L/N)," Yes, she would always respond to you using your last name, it was that sort of bond you two had. It wasn't as close as the one you had with the two adorable scientists but you did see her as some sort of mother figure. Though you were very aware of your surroundings as you were one of the best field agents, you did fail to miss something.

The looks Fitz gave you.

You missed that fact he would stare at you when you weren't looking or if he was walking by the training room and he would steal a glance at your sweaty form beating Skye's ass. He would also look at you longer than necessary. You also didn't realise Fitz would purposely spend more time around you or he would constantly have a reason why he needed you in the lab. But one day, you caught him staring.

You and May were walking through the base after training, laughing and drinking from your bottles of water. As you walked past the lab, you stole a glance inside and saw Fitz watching you. You blushed slightly and May nudged your side when seeing him. He soon realised you saw him and he looks down and turns away, face flushed. You don't think much of that and continue walking away with May.

Simmons looks up from her computer and to her embarrassed friend. "Oh Fitz, just tell her," Jemma encourages but he waves her off dismissively which causes her to sigh and step away from the computer. "What's the worse that can happen?"

"Uh, that she doesn't feel the same way and I ruin the friendship I've made with her," Fitz says in a 'duh' tone which makes Simmons chuckle and shakes her head.

"And what makes you think (Y/N) will say no?" She asks as Fitz attempts to distract himself with some test tubes.

"Look at me, Jemma, then look at her. I'm a nerdy scientist and she is a kick-ass field agent," Jemma raises a brow and folds her arms across her chest.

"And?"

"Come on, Jemma, she wears leather and I wear cardigans. She shoots people and stops HYDRA while I type away at a computer or scan some blood. We are complete opposites!" He exclaims, running a hand through his hair, getting slightly annoyed at Simmons.

"Fitz, please just tell her!"

"Yeah, no. Don't want to do that,"

"Fitz, shoot your shot before Ward does," He turns to face her.

"Ward?"

"He's looking at (Y/N) the same way you do, every movie night (Y/N) is snuggling into him because you're always late! Come on Fitz! Stop staring and ask her!" Jemma exclaims and Fitz bites his lip, contemplating what to do. He either does nothing and spends the rest of his life watching you and Ward together and happy or he tells you how he feels and he can be happy with you. "Go, I'll finish up here,"

"Really? I mean, I can help-"

"Fitz! Go already!" Jemma ushers him out of the lab and closes the door as he starts to walk towards your room. Simmons watches with a smile as she sees his nervous form walk out of sight.

You just came out of your shower and pulled on a comfy tank top and sweat pants, it was almost night time anyway. You sit at your desk where your laptop lays and begin to type up the report Coulson has been nagging you to do for ages. You hear some mumbling from the other side of your door followed with, what seems like, anxious pacing. You furrowed your brows and push back your wet (Y/H/C) hair before standing up and walking to the door. Before you could open it, you hear some hesitant knocking followed with a mumbled curse. You open the door to see Fitz standing there with a nervous smile.

"Hey Fitz, what's up?" You ask, leaning against the door frame.

"I...well...I came here...to see you?" He curses at himself for tripping over his words.

"Well, you came to the right place," You joke and he apprehensively laughs.

"Yeah...I...I wanted to say something to you,"

"Mmh-hmm, if it's about that god damn report, I'm typing it up so Coulson can get off my ass," You laugh and he chuckles meekly.

"No, it's not that...I...I wanted to tell you I like you...not, like you as a friend, more than a friend, I...Yeah, I like you a lot and I can understand if you want to punch my face or-" He's cut off by you placing your lips on his.

"You talk too much," You say as you pull away with a smile and flushed cheeks. He chuckles nervously again before he steps forward and grabs your cheeks and pulling you into another soft kiss. He tangles his hands in your (Y/H/C) locks as he deepens the kiss.

"I...I love you, (Y/N) (Y/L/N)," He says when he pulls away and places his forehead to yours.

"I love you too, Leopold Fitz,"

"R...really?" You smile and cup his cheeks with your hands.

"Of course I do, I'm stupidly in love with you Fitz," You shake your head with a big smile and he smiles with you before grabbing you in a tight embrace, not letting you go, he was never going to let you go, no matter what the world may do to you two.
