Fury gave the team a week off. After all, they earned it. So they headed for the beach.
The sun was setting and Romanov and May were playing beach tennis, Coulson was laid reading and Fitz-Simmons was trying to drown each other in the sea. Ward and Sky walked, hand in hand along the shoreline.
"So where do we go from here?" Skye asked him.
"Anywhere you want to" he replied with a grin. She playfully hit him on his shoulder.
"I meant with us"
"I know what you meant. It's safe to say the team know how we feel about each other, I actually think they've know longer than we have"
"What about the rules?"
"Rules changed when we saved the world"
"What?"
"Fury told me after we got back. I don't know what happened to make him change his mind but, right now, I don't care. I'm just happy he did. I love you Skye."
And with the sunset on the beach Ward used his good hand to pull Skye closer and kiss her.
By the time they made it back to their camp it was dark. Someone had lit a fire and the team were making smores and throwing marshmallows at each other. Ward and Skye settled into the gap in the circle and joined in, well Skye joined in. Ward couldn't with one hand so Skye made the smores and fed them to him.
"Ghost story?" Fitz asked, moving closer to the fire to illuminate his face.
Everyone agreed and Fitz started his story.
The team spent an amazing week camping on the beach and relaxing.
For after all, Tahiti is a magical place!
A/N: I am sorry to say that this is the end of this fanfic. Thank you to all of the followers and reviewers that have stuck with me to the end :p
Virtual chocolate chip cookies to whoever tells me what their favourite part is!
Even better offer... Virtual Oreo and Lime cheesecake to whoever correctly guesses what the coin toss decided! and what Coulson and Fury talked about!
Turns out my 'short' story turned out longer than my dissertation! If you want me to write another Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D fanfic to carry on from this then toss me some ideas and I will play around with them!
For anyone curious about the sequel. It's going to be called 'Interns'
