it's just
yeah
she's really nice

[ ENOUGH! TALKING! ABOUT HIM! and how he mysteriously got this internship! ]

how old were you and dr. simmons-fitz when you were accepted?
since you were the youngest and all
did you already know each other back then?

[retravel]

[ easiest way to change the topic: bring up jemma ]

16, the both of us. She's younger by a month.

[ SENIORITY, BETCH. less than that, she'd say, if she were privy to this conversation. ]

We met there. Got into it over dielectric polarisation.

[ romance... ]

[jansport]

so like around my age
wow

[ that's...incredible, actually. he tries to imagine the two of them as young as he is now, already so accomplished and smart that SHIELD noticed them. just them, no powers involved. ]

[retravel]

[ he softens entirely, then, thinking back to his first days with SHIELD — and with jemma, too. sixteen and achingly shy. ]

You're more outgoing than I was.

[ a beat. ]

Most of the interns know better than to take my "text this number if you need anything" as a genuine invitation.
And if they pluck up the courage, they save it for brownnosing

[ he's terrible. ]

[jansport]

[ unheard: he laughs, brief but genuine. ]

well uh
i could try some brownnosing
yk if you want

[retravel]

Don't.
How are you finding the work, anyway?

[ compared to the stark internship hmmmm ]
