Skye spotted Jemma not far away from the Bus, but alone nevertheless. She sat on the grass, watching the sunset. Skye worked up the courage to go to her.

“Hey,” she greeted Jemma quietly, afraid she might be unwanted.

After a moment, Jemma looked up to her, a weak smile playing around the corners of her lips. “Hi.”

“I’ve brought some blankets. It’s getting cold.” When Jemma nodded, Skye spread one blanket on the ground for them to sit on, and pulled the other one around them both. Wrapping it around their shoulders made them cuddle up.

They sat for a while in silence. Skye didn’t want to force Jemma to talk about the recent events, knowing how much it had taken out of her, of both of them. She had to say something, though. “You nearly died today.”

Jemma looked at her, somewhat baffled. “May I kindly remind you that you nearly died not that long ago?”

“True,” Skye agreed. After a while she admitted, “I was so relieved when I saw you, saw that you were okay. In that moment I realized…” She reached for Jemma’s hand and squeezed it gently.

“I’m not ready,” Jemma interrupted her.

“That’s okay. I can totally wait like a day or two,” Skye joked with a wide smile, but sobered up quickly. “I don’t think I’m ready yet either. But maybe someday?”

“Maybe someday,” Jemma agreed and rested her head on Skye’s shoulder.
The End

Awww, so bittersweet and lovely. These poor girls, they've been through so much, I hope they find each other. And I love the idea of Jemma being so honest about not being ready, after everything she's just experienced. ♥

I'm glad you liked it =)
well, I would imagine that it would take them a while to find their to one another- they both have been through a lot. I thought that Jemma would be honest in this situation because her feelings are raw, after Fitz and she almost died and everything that came along with it. So she pushes, it's too much to handel at the moment. There's a lot of unwritten stuff going on here, damn word count *gr*
thank you for commenting.
