[Fitz had told himself that he wasn't going to go downstairs again; that he wasn't going to let himself see Ward anymore because once had been enough. He'd made his point and that had been enough.
And yet..here he was again, sitting on the ground with his back to the barrier, keeping his hands busy by fussing with the tablet that controlled the rooms settings as he tried to figure out exactly why he had let himself come down here again. He hadn't let Ward know he was there yet, too scared to go any further now that he was actually downstairs once more. It was just that the combination of Jemma being back and everything else that was going on was making his head throb and everything hurt.
His mind. His heart.
All he wanted was for things to be normal again.
The scientist drew his knees up as he set the tablet on the floor, adjusting the barrier so Ward could see out. Fitz kept his back to the other, arms wrapping around his knees as he buried his face against them.
