[ what bobbi offers nearly knocks him over, the warmth so at odds with the swirl of his own emotions, but she says i do and allows him to feel just enough of her resolve, balancing the rest. she loves him. bobbi has always loved the lot of them β but never at the expense of the job, of the world. maybe hunter doesn't understand that, but fitz grasps it quickly, with the aid of the bond. and he needs it, too. that's what shield would do.
fitz exhales, and a measure of relief comes through the bond. ]
Okay. [ a nod this time. he shifts his hand to hold hers in return. then, after a moment, he looks up. ] Then we're β okay.
[ hunter didn't understand that, not during their marriage and not since. (he'll come to understand it, but they're not there yet and bobbi can't predict that. for all that she's good with people, she can't see into the future and hunter especially makes her so mad sometimes because he's so close to her heart β but that's beside the point for now and she's not thinking about hunter.)
hunter didn't understand, but fitz gets it. has no choice but to get it, given the way he feels it now. relief comes, and then his nod. okay.
she squeezes his hand once, warmly, and doesn't let go for a long moment after. then she untangles her fingers slowly. ] Finish your noodles.
