"So, explain the thingy to me again?" Skye asks, sitting on one of the steel laboratory countertops as Jemma tinkered with a device on a pendant style necklace.
"Fitz and I set it up on a time loop with some genius bits of genius. Whenever you let out your power when you don't mean to, this will set you back a little bit in time so that it will be as though you hadn't." Jemma does her absolute best to put it all into terms that Skye would understand.
"Okay, I give up. I trust you. Lay her on me." Skye says with a roll of her eyes.
"You can wear it under your shirt if you want to." Jemma suggests as she slides the pendant onto a chain and loops it around Skye's neck, brushing long hair out of the way. She pulls off her goggles and gloves so that she can see Skye's breath hitch when their skin touches. She can't help but to smile a little bit. Jemma steps around Skye so that she can see the pendant against Skye's shirt. She scoots in closer, not even a foot away, to take a look at it. She jumps when she sees Skye, with an incredibly serious look on her face, tuck a lock of hair loose hair behind her ear. Jemma raises up onto her tiptoes and looks into Skye's brown eyes, one hand on her shoulder and the other on the time pendant. Skye leans forward and kisses Jemma softly, the way she has thought about doing so for years and Simmons doesn't want it to ever end. She remembers what it is that her hand is on, and presses the manual button in the center. Suddenly, Skye is just leaning in again, and Jemma is still smiling into the kiss. She giggles and Skye pulls away, prompting Jemma to hit the button again.
"You stop that." Skye scolds and kisses Jemma again, anyway, knowing that that is what the doctor wanted. Skye's arms wrapped around Jemma's waist and dragged her in so that her entire front was pressed to Skye's, setting both of their bodies on fire. Jemma's hands tangle themselves into Skye' long hair, pulling every now and then while her mind clears of anything and everything else but Skye's tongue against her own.
Skye's hands burn against Jemma's bare sides as they slide up, pulling off her lab coat and blouse. It's at that one very unfortunate moment that Fitz enters the lab. Her eyes going wide and her fingers feeling thick and clumsy, Jemma grabs for the pendant and smacks the button. Just as soon as they are back where they had begun, Jemma drags Skye into her bedroom and they begin to finish what they had started.
