Fitzsimmons + "did you really do that for me?"
Christmas fic!
Fitz only ever celebrates because of his mum and they’re at the Academy so he’s sort of glad he doesn’t have to put on a happy face this year. He has too many bad memories of Christmases with his drunk dad to really enjoy the season.
Jemma loves Christmas and has a playlist full of carols and an and elf hat as a toque and indulges in candy canes as her preferred study snack all through December.
She knows Fitz hates Christmas, so she doesn’t try to drag him into things, and he appreciates that. He knows she loves Christmas, so he buys some eggnog for his fridge for when she comes over. He writes JEMMA across it in sharpie so she knows its hers.
She drinks it even though she hates eggnog.
She’d been planning on flying home for the 25th and a day on either side. It was all she could manage with their workload, but her parents had paid for the ticket and she’d take all she could get. A week before she’s set to fly, one of their projects goes awry. If they lose the time while she’s away, they won’t complete it on time. She cancels her trip.
She’s sad but puts on a brave face. Fitz worries and feels horrible. On Christmas Day, she goes over to his place to work and when he opens the door, his whole apartment is decorated and there’s a massive tree with a box of decorations beside it. Jemma had told him that was her favourite part of the season. He’s wearing an ugly Christmas sweater and holding the largest candy cane Jemma has ever seen.
“Did you really do all of this? For me?”
