All of Me - Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D

Chapter Thirty Three

Pool Area - 11:11 am

Leo is already in the pool when Jemma arrives.  Jemma let her eyes absorb in the sight of her shirtless partner. A sight she has only seen a few of times in the many years that she had known him - two of those time had been when a decontamination shower had been involved with two separate thankfully harmless incidents one - five years ago and the other three. And the other had been a few months ago when she had walked into his bunk without knocking while he had been getting dressed. Jemma bit down on her bottom lip as she admired him. Leo might not be big and buff like Grant Ward was (and yes she had noticed, hard not too whenever she was patching him up from one of his injuries) but he wasn’t a stick either. Leo wasn’t just a good looking man, he had something about him that she couldn’t help but for in love with and those blues eyes - they were her kryptonite.

Leo sensed that he wasn’t alone anymore. He spun around in the pool and spotted his best friend standing towards the middle, just a few metres from him. She was staring at him and there was an odd expression etched across her beautiful porcelain face. Was she checking me out? Leo pushed the silly notion from his hand. Don’t be stupid, Leo. She is your bestfriend and will never see you that way - even though the last few days had felt like something had shifted between them. Leo couldn’t help but notice what the biochemist was wearing or what she wasn’t for the better term of the word. He hadn’t seen that three piece before, not that they’d been swimming together - before. It was a simple black bikini set with matching short black swim shorts. But they didn’t look ordinary on her. The bikini top hugged her round firm breast like a second skin. Leo was relieved that he was in the water since his swim trunks were currently growing tight around the groin area.

Jemma was aware that the two of them were just staring at one another, but she was frozen in her spot. She couldn’t move or look away from him. It was like she was under some trance and they were the only two in the world.

“Hey guys,” Melinda’s voice came from the direction of the pool house as her and Natasha excited it in their one piece swimsuits.

“I see you two had the same idea to beat the heat,” Natasha observed, using her best friend as a crutch as they made their way towards the shallow end of the pool.

The pair quickly snapped out of their own little world upon hearing the two female agents approaching. “Yes!” The two scientist replied in unison.

Jemma made her way towards the edge of the pool and slipped in.

  

Skye made her way towards the pool, noticing that the team were already gathered. Jemma, Leo, Clint and Phil were playing a game of Marco Polo. Phil was the one with a tie around his eyes. Clint and Leo were both shirtless, wearing only boardshorts. Phil was in boardshorts but also had on a swim shirt. The two injured female agents were sitting in the shallow end of the pool on the steps that led down into having some conversation while watching their partners with amused looks.

“Marco?” Phil called from the middle of the pool as his hands reached around for someone, but only hitting water.

“Polo,” Skye called from the deep end where she was currently standing, looking out at the team that was scattered throughout the pool.

“Skye,” Jemma acknowledged in a low tone from the corner she was pressed against, less than a metre from where she was standing.

Skye smiled down at her friend and noticed that Jemma was wearing the black bikini set that she had talked her into buying a few months ago on one of their shopping trips, even though she was wearing the matching swim shorts. Skye didn’t know why Jemma didn’t like showing off a little skin. She had a great figure and would get a little more tanned if she gave it a chance.
