“Can’t I?” his voice was dejected. There wasn’t a day that passed that he didn’t feel guilty for what he’d done. Or how he’d felt. Despite everything there was a brief friendship that seemed to have formed between what he thought was Will and Fitz. Or maybe the enemy of my enemy is my friend was just too strong of a bond for him to care that logically he shouldn’t have liked Will. Logically Fitz shouldn’t have wanted Will back at all. Yet he had, and he’d failed both Will and Jemma. “maybe, but that doesn’t mean that…” she’d forgive him. See him as anything more then a fail. Two people who were never meant to be together. Fitz seemed to have a lot of that these days. Gently Fitz’s thumb rubbed against Daisy’s skin. “We talk but not about what happened. Just science.” only ever science.
It hurt her to see him like this, because she was expecting him to be more at ease if anything. He didn’t have to finish the sentence for her to know what he meant and in response she gave his hand a soft squeeze. “And why do you say that? We both know that you tried your best and that’s all anyone can ask for. I’m just glad that nothing happened to you, Fitz or i’d never--” she didn’t know how to finish that sentence because the thought of actually losing him scared her. And she had to remind herself that it wouldn’t just be her, but Jemma as well. “I just mean, that we’re happy that you’re here. And with us.” she added with a soft smile. “--That whether it be science or the weather, she has you to talk to. When she’s ready, she’ll open up to you.” It felt more like a promise, as if she were speaking on behalf of Jemma, but she believed they would be fine. And happy.
