“Move, everyone, move!” Skye barreled into the lab, making everyone jump and stare at her.
“What’s wrong?” Bruce asked, his posture tense as if he could break into the other guy at any moment.
“I slipped up. I told AC Steve and I are together. He wanted to talk with him.” Bruce immediately relaxed and turned back to his work.
Skye ran towards a desk and dropped herself into a chair. She pushed herself towards the desk with her feet and furiously started typing on the keyboard.
“What are you doing, Skye?” Jemma came up behind her, leaning onto the back of Daisy’s chair with her hands. “I’m hacking the security camera’s. What else would I be doing.”
“Why would you do that?”
“To watch the conversation between my boyfriend and my fa- AC.” Daisy almost slipped up this time. She saw Coulson as the father she never had. As much as everyone told her Coulson saw her as his daughter too, she was afraid to tell him that. Afraid it would scare him off and she’d be alone again.
“Skye…” Jemma warned.
“What? I was excluded out of their conversation, but I have the right to know what they’re saying, because it’ll be about me.”
Skye heard Jemma sigh behind her as the security footage of one of Stark’s Tower’s hallways popped up onto the screen. Skye presses a button and sound came from the computer.
“So Steve… you and Skye are-?”
“Dating? Yes sir.”
“It’s Phil.” he shook his head and changed his mind however. “No, it’s sir for you.”
Steve nodded uncomfortably.
“Well, I think I should ask you what you’re intentions are with Skye?”
“I just want to make her happy.”
Jemma awed behind her and Skye felt her heart swell at his words.
“Oh. Well…” he looked like he was at a loss of words. “Good, very good. Well then, I hope I’ll see you at family dinners.” Coulson awkwardly patted Steve’s bicep. “Wow, very firm. You’re doing a great job at training.”
Skye laughed at Coulson’s awkward behaviour. She knew he was slightly obsessed with Captain America. She noted that she should show Steve Coulson’s office once. It was filled with posters of him.
“This is what it was like when we were at The Hub and you were talking with Sitwell before you shot him.”
“Wha- it wasn’t that bad.” Jemma defended herself.
“No, it was.”
“Oh, hush you.” Jemma returned to where she was working with Bruce and left Skye watching the screen alone.
She saw Coulson offering his hand to Steve, but Steve pulled him into a hug instead. Skye noticed the big smile plastered onto Coulson’s face while he was in Steve’s arms and quickly screenshotted the picture. Skye smiled to herself before her face fell. She shouldn’t be worried about Coulson stealing her boyfriend, right?
Right?
