Car Show? (Do Tell)

Chapter 1: Crushes

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

{you know you are always the best part of my day, turbo}

Fitz stared at Mack's last text. They had been talking and texting for the last two weeks, ever since that first meeting, on what had turned from one of the worse, to quite possibly the best, day of his life.

Meeting Mack had been absolutely amazing. Not only was he, insanely, gorgeous; he was also incredibly sweet, funny and smart too. How was that even possible? It almost didn't seem fair. No one should be that perfect. It just set a rather unreasonable standard for kind of average, somewhat boring, but very intelligent, if slightly awkward guys out there. It also leads to unfortunate, certainly one sided, absolutely hopeless, crushes in said average, intelligent, awkward guys. Especially when said crush kept saying things like that.

After that first meeting, Fitz had just been flying. He just couldn't believe how great this guy was, how much they had in common. He'd kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, to see something to diminish how wonderful this guy seemed, but everything he'd learned about Mack had just made him like him more. He had to have a flaw, right? He couldn't be that perfect.

Now, looking, once again, at his phone and rereading the text one more - he'd stopped counting somewhere around twenty- time, he thinks he has it figured out. He has found Mack's flaw: he is a total, complete, irrepressible, flirt.

"I'm telling you Jem; that has to be it. There's simply no other explanation."

"Or, you know, maybe he just actually likes you and is showing you that he's interested."

Fits scoffs, "Yeah, no way that's it."

"Why not? You're a great guy, he'd be lucky to have you"

"Jem, you don't know, you haven't seen this guy! He is, literally, the best looking person I have ever seen, like ever, anywhere. He is really tall and strong, and, god, his smile..." Fitz sighs a bit, then continues

"And if it was just that, it probably wouldn't be so bad. I mean, yeah, attractive is nice, but it's easy enough to adjust to that after a bit. But Mack? Not only is he, mind numbingly, hot, but he is smart, and funny and was so sweet and caring. No one should be allowed to be that perfect, it's just not fair to the rest of us" he finished, pouting slightly

Jemma rolled her eyes, "Fitz, so are you."

He rolled his eyes back, shaking his head slightly,

"Not really, I mea-"

Jemma Cuts him off

"Yes, Fitz, you are. You are smart and funny and cute. Plus, you are absolutely the sweetest guy I know. You are amazing and an absolute catch; any guy would be lucky to have you. No one is too good for you or out of your league. I don't care if he seems like the most perfect guy in the world, which, obviously, you think he is, but even then. You are more than good enough for him, and if for some reason he doesn't see that, then he is nowhere near as intelligent as you say."

"Jem, thanks but I rea-"

She cuts him off again

"No, Fitz, no arguments on this. You are my best friend, No one is allowed to insult you, not even you" She finishes pointedly

He forfeits the point; he can't really argue with her when she gets like this. Besides, this is an argument he is kind of okay losing; especially since, if he were to win it, it would kind of prove that he was a loser.
