a/n: a little tiny fitz fluff piece cus im rewatching aos and it's slowly destroying me
a/n: takes place during beginning of season 2 after ward dumps fitzsimmons into the ocean
a clatter in the distance woke you, "fitz? are you alright" you mumbled sleepily.
rubbing your eyes groggily you peered about, he was at his desk again, head in his hands. "please baby, come back to bed" you muttered from the covers
hearing no response you pried yourself from the mattress, the sudden shock of the cold wooden floor sent a shiver through your body. feeling vulnerable, you quickly wrapped yourself in a sheet before stumbling over to fitz - who was still murmuring to himself. .
"they can't do this" he whispered, his voice shaking with fear. you felt a certain anger towards ward in these moments, something that could only be satiated by putting a bullet in that snakes' head.
your voice trembled with remorse as you rubbed his back, kneeling next to the desk, "what do you mean fitz" you whispered,
"are you hurt?" you breathed, he closed his eyes, leaning into your touch while you checked him over,
with watery eyes he looked down, grasping your hands in his and not daring to look in your eyes,
"they-" he stopped, whimpering and attempting to catch his breath as he traced circles with his thumb over the back of your hand,
"they don't let me be with you"
you coaxed him to stand and as you did, he slowly made his way over to the bed
"mack and may and coulson, they said i'd hurt you and i was hurting evryone around me-" fitz stuttered catching his breath "they wouldn't let me stay with you, i had to leave" he whimpered softly "they made me". he looked up at you, his eyes desperate and watery.
you sat yourself onto the bed, crossing your legs, leo followed suit seating himself with his hands by his side, supporting himself.
"it's just you and me, alright?" you never broke eye contact with him
you could tell he was scared to reach out to you, there were a couple times like this since the accident. watching him struggle to make a physical connection with you was something you never wanted to experience, never wanted him to experience. and yet here you were.
you caught your hands finding comfort on either side of his head "fitz please, you know them, they wouldn't do that" you leaned your forehead against his allowing your hands to drop to his shoulders. you'd never tell him it was just a nightmare, because you knew, when it was happening it feels real. it feels like an all consuming weight that could very well near never be lifted.
fitz leaned forward, breathing you in and pressing a kiss to your forehead, your cheek, before finding your lips, desperately leaning in. him bit at your bottom lip, making you part them, for him to find your tongue.
you rolled your head back slightly, leo quickly pressed his lips to your neck, nipping softly, before burying his face in your shoulder.
you leaned your back against the headboard as he rested his head on your chest "you make me feel safe" he stated "only you" he hid his head in your chest, inhaling your scent, you pressed kisses all over the top of his head,
he took your hand in his, pressing it to his cheek, you ran your through his hair, softly tracing circles on his scalp, he leaned into your touch, whimpering in the slightest.
you promised yourself there, in the faint glow of the city outside, if you ever saw ward again you'd drive a knife across his neck
