Elena stares at her girlfriend, Daisy who looks anywhere but at her. Something’s up and she’ll get to the bottom of it.

“Stop staring at me like that,” complains Daisy.

Raising an eyebrow at the complaint, Elena doesn’t say a word because she knows eventually Daisy will give in and tell her what happened because she’s known her for a long time now even before they got together.

Elena crosses her arms and taps her fingers against her arm.

“Alright, so I may have locked the keys in the car,” confesses Daisy with a sheepish grin on her face as she rubs the back of her neck.

Sighing, Elena rolls her eyes fondly.

“You are something else, Daisy but I love you anyways. Let’s go find Mack and Robbie. One of them get into the car and get the keys,” states Elena firmly.

Daisy grabs her hand then kisses her cheek.

“Then we can go out to lunch, my treat. You deserve it for putting up with me,” says Daisy softly.

“I’m not ‘putting up with you,’ I’m choosing to be with you,” replies Elena just as softly.

Daisy smiles at her comment.

“Let’s find Mack and Robbie and while we do that, you can think of where we should go for lunch,” she states firmly.

“Sounds good to me. We should do lunch together more often,” replies Elena. They walk off down the street to the garage where they’ll hopefully find Mack and/or Robbie, who can help them out.

Daisy considers her past relationships with Miles and Lincoln in comparison to her current relationship with Elena and knows there’s something missing from the previous two.

There’s something more in her relationship with Elena.

One night as she lies awake as Elena sleeps next to her, she finally figures it out.

They share an intimacy she never found with either of her boyfriends.

She knows it’s not a physical intimacy because there was plenty of that in both former relationships.

It’s something else –more of an emotional vulnerability where they’re both equals.

For so long, Daisy has kept people at arm’s length.

Her childhood made sure of it even though it didn’t quell her desire for a family, for somewhere to belong.

With this intimacy, there’s no judgment when it comes to letting down her guard.

It scares her a lot but it amazes her as well.

They’re both strong women with the fighter spirit.

Daisy thinks this is good for the both of them.

The bed shifts as Elena makes herself more comfortable causing Daisy to smile.

She doesn’t know how she’s gotten so lucky after everything but she isn’t going to complain.

When Melinda May signs on to join S.H.I.E.L.D., thereare many things she expects she will have to do. There are even some thingsshe’s surprised about but once they’re explained to her, they make sense.

For the first few months, the academy meets herexpectations and she more than meets theirs.

One night, as she returns to the dorms after grabbinga bite to eat, she sees her roommate, Maria Hill struggling to return to theirroom.

“Hey, you okay?”

Maria nods as she’s too busy yawning to answer hervocally.

The breeze picks up causing both women to shiver.

“Are you heading back to our room?” Melinda asks asshe walks closer to Maria.

“Yes, I am. Are you?”

Melinda nods her head as she wraps an arm around theother woman’s waist.

“Come on, you look like you’re going to fall over anymoment now and we don’t need you falling down the stairs or something.”

Maria leans into Melinda as she wraps her own armaround her shoulder to help balance her.

The shared body heat from the contact keeps the womenfrom freezing as the wind changes from a breeze to something stronger.

Ten minutes later, the women stand outside their roomas Melinda fishes out her room key before unlocking the door and leading Mariain.

Maria is practically asleep so Melinda brings her overto her bed and lays her down before removing her shoes then maneuvering herunderneath her comforter.

As she walks over to her own bed in order to get readyfor bed herself, she hears a whispered “Thanks Mel”, causing her to turn aroundand smile at Maria.

Summary: The team takes the first chance they get to take a break once everyone is out of the Framework; which in this case, is a trip to the beach. 

Notes: Written for the “at the beach” prompt over at @aosficnet2

Also, instead of pie - they go to the beach

“I mean it. I think this is the first step in us starting to heal. Just look around at everyone.”

Doing as Jemma suggested, she couldn’t help smiling as she watched Mack and Elena splash each other while Fitz and Coulson cooled off in the water just far enough that they were out of danger. Then her eyes wandered over to where May and Piper were walking along the edge of the ocean, deep in conversation but not a serious one as Piper laughed at something May said.

“You’re right. We really needed this.”

Just lying in the sun on the beach felt like all the stress and pain were melting off of her shoulders.

“It’s definitely worth dragging sand back to the base and dealing with it for ages because you know, its gonna get in everything.”

Jemma sighed.

“Maybe we can get Fitz to upgrade the vacuum cleaners to easily suck up any and all sand.”

Adjusting her sunglasses, she went back to watching the team enjoy the water when Mack caught her attention by waving his arm.

“I’m not wearing that.”

Daisy stared at the outfit in shock because itwasn’t anything she’d ever choose for herself.

Grinning at her girlfriend, Elena crossed theroom until she was standing in front of her.

“You lost the best, Daisy.”

“Seriously, Simmons is a genius. How did shelose?”

Elena laughed.

“Apparently there was more to Piper than meetsthe eye.”

Letting out a sigh, Daisy moved over towardstheir bed where her outfit was laid out.

“It’s a good thing you’re cute and I love you.I wouldn’t do this for anyone else.”

Walking up behind Daisy, Elena wrapped her armsand leaned forward to whisper in her ear.

“Just think about when this is all over and Iget to take them off of you.”

Kissing Daisy’s neck, she let go and tookseveral steps backwards so her girlfriend could get dressed.

Elena couldn’t help laughing as she watchedDaisy get dressed quickly.

“So how do I look?”

Daisy spun in a slow circle so her girlfriendcould get a look at her.

Tapping her chin, Elena took a couple momentsto make up her mind.

“I think I like you naked better.”

“We both look better naked.”

@waverly-earp

“So I was thinking….”

“Don’t hurt yourself there, babe.”

Elena glared at Daisy who only grinned in response.

“As I was saying, I think we should go to Honeydukes first then go to the Three Broomsticks for something to drink.”

Daisy nodded her head then a thought occurred to her.

“Though, since this is a date, maybe we should go to Madam Puddifoot’s.”

Elena stuck her tongue out and furrowed her brows at the suggestion.

“Only if you want to run into Ward and his newest fling of the week.”

“Yeah, on second thought, the Three Broomsticks it is.”

Elena snuggled closer to Daisy on the couch in front of the fire in the Gryffindor common room causing Daisy to move her arm in order to wrap it around Elena’s shoulders.

“Speaking of Madam Puddifoot’s, I heard a certain Head Girl talking about meeting someone there this weekend.”

Looking up at Daisy, Elena simply waited for her to continue.

“Looks like a certain Quidditch Captain finally worked up the courage to ask her out.”

Elena snorted.

“About time. Bobbi has been like a turtle where her feelings about Jemma are concerned.”

Daisy chuckled.

“She’s not the only one. Jemma has been fretting over it for weeks now once she realized I wasn’t playing a joke on her.”

“You know what this means?”

“I do. It looks like we finally have another couple to go on double dates with now.”

Leaning down, Daisy kissed the top of Elena’s head causing her to let out a contented sigh.

@eternarle

“Yoyo! You’re supposed to knock before you enter my room! What if I had been naked?”

Elena smirked at Mack.

“Maybe if you were not so slow, Turtleman then you could close the door and lock it.”

Moving across the room, Mack leaned down and whispered in her ear,

“If you want to see me naked, just say so.”

Standing back up straight, he walked passed her while Elena stared at him with her mouth open.

It took her a few minutes to regain control over herself and let the blush fade away before joining Mack in the kitchen.

As she leaned against the island, she couldn’t help smiling as she watched him cook.

Mack sang one of the songs Daisy had gotten stuck in his head.

Elena tried to not laugh because while he didn’t sing well, he did put effort and enthusiasm into it which she appreciated it.

Joining in, she caught the moment that he realized that he was not alone then he turned around while continuing to sing.

He reached out and grabbed her hand before spinning her causing her to laugh.

Elena didn’t pay attention to where her feet were going until she tripped and fell forwards toward Mack and her hands ended up landing on his chest with his arm around her waist.

“Falling for me, Yoyo?”

“I already have.”

Her eyes widened at her confession but before she could say anything else, he pulled her close and kissed her.

“I have been wanting to do that for awhile.”

“Well, you certainly took your time. It is a good thing you are handsome.”
