MCU/Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Melinda May/Darcy Lewis, Darcy asking Melinda out on a date

Fill (1/2)

The thing is, Darcy’s not exactly a fan of SHIELD. Not that SHIELD technically exists anymore, not since Captain America blew those Helicarriers out of the sky and brought the whole thing crumbling down. She’s not sure if the crew she’s been spending time with lately can really be called SHIELD, if SHIELD is dead and all.

But that’s what they call themselves, and they sure as hell dress like those the SHIELD agents that swooped in on Darcy and Jane and Erik back in New Mexico, so Darcy’s willing to call a spade a spade.

Darcy’s not a fan of SHIELD, but she is a fan of Melinda May. More than simply a fan, because whatever she feels for May has veered way past mere admiration and gone straight into full ‘have my children’ mode.

Basically, Darcy has a giant, embarrassing, all-encompassing, sickeningly earnest crush.

May being a SHIELD agent should be a deterrent, but it’s absolutely not, no matter how little Darcy thinks of the organisation. It actually kind of makes the crush worse, because May looks really damn good in that uniform

May looks back at her with that carefully blank expression, but Darcy’s not going to be put off. She takes a deep breath, balls her hands into fists, and goes for it.

“Do you want to go to dinner with me?”

There, that wasn’t so bad.

Except May isn’t reacting. At all. But Darcy didn’t spend all that time rehearsing this for nothing, so she barrels on.

“I know you probably think it’s a bad idea, because you’re SHIELD and that makes it dangerous for anyone to get close to you and blah blah blah. But remember that part where my roommates are an acclaimed astrophysicist known for working with the Avengers and, oh yeah, an actual Avenger!? I’d say that means I’m already well aware of the risks, so don’t even try that with me.”

She stops, breathes in again.

May’s still not reacting.

“So you can’t use that as an excuse not to date me. But, uh, if you don’t want to? Date me, that is. I get that, and I won’t be upset or anything. Just saying. Because I realise I got a little confrontational there, sort of, and this isn’t exactly going

Totally not my fandom or ship, but so cute! The earnestness of Darcy's crush and how Melinda lets her be all nervous and freak out and then saying yes was super adorable. Way to work the tension. :)

Thank you so much! The idea of combining Darcy's 'say whatever jumps into your head' personality with Melinda's epic pokerface was so fun for me to resist! :D

That was so good! I love how you wrote Darcy talking at to May, how she freaked out and May smiling in the end!

Thank you so much for writing this :D

You're massively welcome - I don't think this ship has ever occured to me before, but I saw the prompt and knew I had to give it a try. ^___^

I thought of this ship right before posting the prompt, actually, so I'm not sure if anyone ever though of it before - I never really checked *lol*
But I got curious, and now that I've read your fic I'm sure I definitely ship it ;)
