Yeah, an idea that popped into my head. Looks like this would become a multi-chapter fic, but we'll see. Philinda/Mayson/Coulvary. Months into this and I'm still not sure what's their official ship name is. Suggestions are welcome as to how you want this story to continue. So, Review ;)

May's POV

"Miles is probably the guy I was with the longest, how about you Simmons?" Skye asked Jemma while she was still performing a mandatory physical exam on May.

"Everything seems to be in order May. I'll just need a blood sample." Simmons said to the agent without giving a sign that she heard Skye, and May just nodded.

"Well, I've never really been in a serious relationship before." Said Simmons as she was getting the syringe.

"What! What do you mean you've never had a serious relationship? Oh did you just go out with a guy once, then sleep with them?" Skye said amusingly. May can't help but smile a bit at the question, which made Simmons blush furiously.

"No! No! Why would you even think that Skye? No, when I go out, I don't feel, you know..." Simmons gestured animatedly and dabbed May's skin with alcohol.

"What? A spark? Is that what you're saying?" Skye asked.

"Well, technically there is no such thing. But you know, the first time I go out with any man, either I don't like him, or he doesn't." Simmons already started collecting a blood sample from May, and the agent didn't even flinch.

"Oh, alright. What about you May?" Skye looked at May, and May just stared at her. Well, more like glared.

"What about me, Skye?" May asked calmly.

"You know, have you ever been with someone you thought was 'the one'?" Skye thought it was an innocent question, and she was just curious about May's answer.

"Of course." At that moment, Simmons took out the needle and covered it up.

"What happened?" Simmons asked May.

"He died." May went out of the lab, leaving Skye and Simmons thinking about what she said. May went straight to the cockpit, seeing that she revealed too much of her life to the girls. Unknowingly someone was watching their whole exchange down at the lab, and he felt heartbroken all over again.

May thought she shouldn't have answered Skye at all, but the words just rolled of her tongue. The memories were starting to overwhelm her again. After Bahrain, he was the first to reach out to her. She shut him out at first, but his constant presence finally worked and she started opening up to him. Their talks, and dinners when they could get together became something else, and before the both of them realized. They fell in love. Their relationship turned into a romantic one. She didn't think it would last because of S.H.I.E.L.D, but it did. Until he got stabbed in the heart.

"Melinda." She didn't have to turn around to find out who it was, and breathed deeply to try to calm herself down. Then she turned to him and said in the most detached voice she could muster.

"Coulson."

Coulson's POV

Coulson was just checking on the team, seeing that they all had their physical exams today. Well, except for him though, since he had one 3 months early. He was just amused at Skye's question at Simmons, but he didn't expect for Skye to actually ask May. And when he heard her answer, the pain was still there. He knows that he caused a lot of that.

He couldn't help but look at the velvet box hidden in his office drawer, and he opened it. He had so many plans for them. He already thought of how he was going to ask her, where he was going to do it, but now, he just thinks her putting it on is just a dream. So he put it back in his drawer, and can't help but think about their time together.

The nights curled up in bed together. Breakfast in the mornings in the couch, with her reading the newspaper over his shoulder, and the smiles that she gave. It was all just a memory now. Getting stabbed through the heart by Loki wasn't his fault, but he still blames himself for not telling her he was alive. He knows she spent months thinking he was gone, and he never gave her a sign to think otherwise until he recruited her on the team. That's probably why he had to watch May tell Simmons and Skye that the man she loved died.

It still breaks his heart though. Maybe that's why he went to the cockpit to see her, talk to her maybe.

"Melinda." He said it quietly, and he noticed that she was a bit tense at his presence and when she looked at him, it was like she had forgotten what she said in the lab minutes ago.

"Coulson."

What did you guys think? Should I continue? :)
