Time of our lives

Right moment

Fitz POV
Bloody hell. This is so stupid everyone is this class is just bloody stupid and the teacher is bloody stupid and the academy is bloody stupid. It's like come on Mr. P, I already know all of this information!
I learned it like two years ago, yet all of these older kids can't get any of this right!
It's already been 3 months of school and no one can understand anything! Idiots!
Ugh!
"Before I let you go let me take role!" Mr P yells
Ugh great im Gonna be late to my next class... Lunch is very important!
"Jared Aker"
"Here"
Ugh it's gonna be forever till he gets to "F" I can't help but start my homework and all of the upper class men are looking at me like I have 3 heads.
"Leopoldo Fitz"
"Here" I mumble as unenthusiastically as I can make myself sound.
I start to pack up my things and I'm about to leave the room when Mr P starts to yell at me in his extremely obnoxious voice,
"You can't leave until role is done!"
Great! This sucks! We just began "S" too!
"Jemma Simmons"
"Present" a girl speaks up,
That was the most charming voice ever!
I look around and spot her. She is in a purple dress with her hair curled and she has these adorable bangs that sway in her face.
I can't stop staring at her, she is so beautiful and how old is she even? She can't be that much older or younger than me.
"Damn that girl is hot!" Jared whispers to me
"Hey! Don't treat women like they are an object, they are people too!" I whisper angrily back, it pisses me off to no end when guys think of girls as less then.
Jared shoots me the annoyed face, but I couldn't give a shit what he thinks of me.
The bell rings and I position myself so I casually bump into her, but something goes wrong... and I bump a little to hard into her.
Books fly everywhere and I am mortified!
"Oh my god I am so sorry!" I speak up finally, "here let me help you. "
I grab all of these papers and I notice how she actually has A's on all of them, wow, beautiful and smart!
I hand them to her when our hands touch and I look up at her.
I gaze into her hazel eyes and I feel like I'm staring. She doesn't turn away and she looks back at me.
"Oh I'm sorry, I'm Leopold, but you can call me Leo,that's what most people call me."
"I'm jemma, but people call me Jem."
" I haven't seen you here, are you knew?" I question
"Yeah I got accepted late so this is my first week!" Jem happily responds, "I'm going to lunch, do you know where the cafeteria is?" She asks
I nod my head in the direction, "come on, I'll show you, I'm going there too."
I show her the lunch line and she seems nervous.
"I don't have any friends.. I don't know where to si-"
"You can sit with me" I offer.

Later that day

"Mom I have found the future mrs. Fitz! " I tell her as I skip through the door
"Awesome! But focus on school not this chick." My mom firmly demands
Why can't she just be happy for me.
Jem and I sit together everyday after and we talk every night. Everything seems great!

Present day

"Leopold Fitz!" Simmons yells at me
"What did I do wrong this time?!" I annoyingly respond
"When you spill your drink, clean it up!"
"Sorry!" I roll my eyes
I don't know how I'm still friends with Jemma. I think I've been friend zoned. Instead of Jem and Leo I call her Simmons or Jemma and she calls me Fitz and sometimes Leo.
As I clean up the juice I spilled, I think of what our lives might be if only I had told her how I felt from the very beginning.
Just then Jemma grabs my arm,
"Come on! We're gonna play a game upstairs with everyone."
"Ugh fine! Coming Jemma!"
Ugh game night! Great these always end up boring, but apparently only to me.
"Listen up guys tonight we are playing a weird ass version of candy land. Except if you get stuck in the mud with someone because you will have partneres, we will ask something for you to do and you have to do it!" Skye explains. "Pick a partner!!!"skye Hollers
Naturally I look at Jemma and she looks at me.
We pair up, all set!
We get on the first space and we are actually doing really well, we can't be on the ground for more than 2 seconds for its kind of like don't touch the lava. We are in first place. Then we get stuck in "the mud"!
"The mud" is a zone we marked off in which you can't touch any of the ground and we are trapped, we can't go anywhere for Jemma and I can't do big jumps, we aren't very athletic.
After all why do you need athleticism in science?
"Guys remember your spots, and huddle up, all for Fitz and simmons!" Ward yells
What are we gonna have to do? It better not be something stupid!
I hear giggling from with in the group and turn.
"You have to.... Kiss!!!" They all announce laughing
My eyes widen, oh my god!
"Are you serious, that's so childish!" Jemma says.
"Yeah we are, but you have an option, kiss here and you get to move on immediately or kiss in a bunk privately and stay where you are for an extra turn but then you get to move on." May negotiates
"Privately!" I nearly scream
Simmons and I are led into her bunk and they Close the door.

Simmons POV
So, this is very awkward, we are both just sitting on my bed looking down at the ground. In the distance we can hear everyone laughing and yelling
I look at him and he's looking at me.
"Let's just do it." I say to him
And he just stares at me. What is he even thinking
" I can't Jemma."
Damn! I've been dreaming of this my whole life and he can't kiss me. Does he not like me? I thought he did. But I guess I'm wrong.
"Why not?"
"Because Jemma!"
"Am I that gross that you won't even kiss me for a game?!" I mumble
"No, it's not that, it's not the right moment." Fitz whispers back.
Right moment? What is he talking about?
Does he want to kiss me just not now?
"Come on let's go, and say we kissed."
I nod and he opens the door and I follow his lead.
"We kissed. Happy?" Fitz jokes.
They whole team continues on but I can't concentrate anymore and Fitz and I end up in last place.
"Goodnight guys! It's past midnight and we have training tomorrow I think, I suggest you all get some sleep" Coulson yawns.
We all head off in our different directions and get ready for bed but I still cant get his words out of my mind.
Fitz and I are the last ones to go to bed and I hug him as I always do.
But this, this is a different hug.
I don't let go and he doesn't let go of me. Our heads move closer slowly until my face is next to his.
I look at him and back down to his lips and back up.
If this doesn't happen I'm gonna die. I'm so nervous and I start to tremble.
Fitz can tell and he smooths my hair and continues to look at my eyes.
He pulls me in closer and I am centimeters away form kissing him, when we finally both lean in. It's a soft kiss yet it feels so powerful. And I just fall for him, I can't hold back my feelings anymore and I continue to kiss back.
"Jemma?"
"Yes Fitz?"
"This is how I wanted it."
"Me too." I whisper
I hug him and I continue to until I think about what will happen tomorrow... Do we tell people? I'll just follow his lead. I'm hugging him, and we just kissed, this feels right.
This is what I want.
