A Little Easier

Screwing the Cosmos

Coulson's POV

  I haistily walked back and forth in my office staring at the ax that took my arm. I was thinking about myself, kinda. With Daisy and Lincoln clearly having a think, May being in love with Andrew, Fitzsimmons on their second date, Bobbi and Hunter... I don't even know what their deal is. I hurt Rosalind by blaming her of being Hydra. I do have feelings for her, but it won't ever work because I don't deserve happiness after everything I've done. I'm not who I used to be, my "daughter" Daisy acts like she doesn't see me as a dad anymore and it hurts. May and I have been with Fitzsimmons and Daisy from  the start, but everyone has a life now. All I am is the director of SHIELD. I sat down and took another drink.

Fitz's POV
7:57 pm

  I grabbed my dark blue jacket and stumbled outside of my residency, scanning the halls for Jemma. No sign of her so I knocked on her door 3 times. No response. I was puzzled on where she was so I went to the only other place she would be-- The Lab.

  She stood over the counter by her desk staring at our tablet. I Waite in the doorway for her to finish what she was doing when I heard her start talking, "I'm sorry, but I've decided to move on, you're Hydra and I love Fitz. I loved you but when I kissed him I realized it was him and always was him. Goodbye Will." She said with a strong and steady voice. I walked in and saw her delete the picture of him and put the tablet away.

  "Hey, are you ready?" I asked. Alarmed at my presence she turned to hug me and asked "How long were you here?" She asked gently. "Long enough. I'm here for you Jemma." She whispered a thank-you and grasped my hand. "So where might we be going this evening?" "Well, Zephyr One is waiting. That's all you get to know!" She giggled "Should I be worried?" "Not at all!" I teased.

Jemma's POV

  "Hello Hunter." I greets our pilot. I heard him and Fitz whisper a bit and Hunter jabbed in some coordinates and chugged some beer, "It's gonna be a long night mate." He teased to Fitz.

  "Any idea where we might be going?" He asked. "Nope, but mind telling me how long the flight will be?" "34 minutes from our current position." He said. "In the mean time, please follow me!" I grabbed his hand and followed him to where the seats are in the plane.

  "Oh, Fitz!" I squealed. He prepared us a Scottish feast with roses in the middle of the table. "You did a great job setting this up! What's on the menu?" I asked playfully. "Two Buffalo and Proccutio sandwiches with-" I smiled and replied "with just a hint of pesto aoili." He turned and kissed me quickly and pulled out my chair for me. I thought about what I should say, this was how our first date was supposed to go but I screwed everything up with Will Daniels. Jemma Daniels doesn't sound right anyways, I prefer Jemma Fitz-Simmons.

  "So this is how our first date was supposed to go. I should be happy, wearing a dress, talking to by best friend and- boyfriend..." I blushed at the word and looked at my wine glass. "So how about cheers to a new meaning to us." He smiled giddily "To us." and we tapped our glasses together.

  "Do you really believe that we're cursed Fitz?" I shyly asked. "No, I don't know why I said that... I was angry, and I still have that anger in me that Will isn't gone and we can't just forget him... I just have to hear you saw you don't... I don't want you to lie but just tell me what I need to hear. Please." He seemed to beg the words. "You read the Hunger Games series, right?" He nodded. "So Will is cold, ruthless Gale... The kind of guy that drags you down, the more you feel more him. But you can't really help the feeling, but you know that he's bad and you stay far away, while you think you love him, that feeling isn't the kind of 'I want to marry you and have your children' love. It's how you feel for somebody who kept you alive." I took a breath. "You are gentle and loving Peeta who I would do anything for because your love for him the love you want to marry and be with forever. While Gale could be fun for a while, in the end, Peeta is better. You are my Sun." I said getting choked up. He leant across the table and kissed me how I kissed him the second time. Full of hope and love.
