52 “can we cuddle?” + FS 💕💕

Hey Friend! Sorry this is late but got some good old fashioned Post-FZZT comfort coming your way to make up for it :) Because who doesn’t love some S1 pre-relationship fluff?

Jemma padded down the hallway of the Bus. It was late and the airplane was quiet.

She hesitated for a second before knocking on Fitz’s door. She whispered, “Fitz? Are you awake?”

She heard some shuffling on the other side of the door, before it slid open to reveal a groggy and rumpled Fitz. 

“Jemma? What’s wrong?”

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t sleep. Everytime I close my eyes, all I see is endless blue sky and feel like I’m falling again.”

She had almost died today. If she and Fitz hadn’t been able to synthesize the antiserum in time, if Ward hadn’t gotten to her with that parachute, she wouldn’t be here right now.

“That’s understandable,” Fitz said. “Do you want to come in?”

Jemma nodded and walked into his room. Their bunks were tiny and not designed for socializing. Still, Fitz motioned for her to sit down next to him on his bed.

“Is there anything I can do?”

Jemma hesitated, before blurting out, “Can we cuddle? Like we used to at the Academy?” 

As two homesick teenagers, they had sometimes cuddled together during times of stress, like exams, after Jemma had read a study about how it released oxytocin. They hadn’t done it for years though.

Fitz readily agreed, “Of course.”

“Just for a little while,” she clarified. “I think being close to someone else will help me relax.”

“I already said yes, Simmons. Big spoon or little spoon?”

“Can you be big spoon?”

Both laying down, Fitz wrapped his arms around Jemma’s waist. She instinctively nestled deeper into his warm embrace, feeling safe and secure.

“Okay?” Fitz asked.

Jemma nodded, “Thanks for doing this. And for being there by my side today. I don’t know what I would do without you.”

Fitz blushed, “What are best friends for?”
