Actor Luke Mitchell has shared an early — and adorable — look at a major FitzSimmons moment on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
Mitchell, who plays Daisy’s live-wire boyfriend Lincoln Campbell, shared footage of his costars Elizabeth Henstridge and Iain DeCaestecker from the table read for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 3×18. In the brief clip, Simmons and Fitz make the decision to consummate their long-simmering relationship.
Fans of the FitzSimmons pairing have waited for this romantic denouement with varying degrees of patience for almost three years, and it’s pretty clear that Mitchell is among their number.
This is for the #FitzSimmons fans

As showrunner Maurissa Tancharoen reads the action, the rest of the cast contributes their enthusiasm. A distinct “Aww!” comes from Clark Gregg and other cast and crew present, and a grinning Henstridge murmurs “That’s so sweet!” over the stage directions. Iain DeCaestecker appears a bit blushingly uncomfortable with the attention, but the actor has long expressed a bit of embarrassment over the steady development of Fitz and Simmons’ romantic relationship.
Of course, the cast and crew continued to share their support for the pairing on Twitter during the airing of “The Singularity.”

Even the official Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Twitter feed got in on the action — and well they should. The show accrued thousands of tweets during the episode airing, and even hit the second-highest trending slot in the United States, behind the events of Super Tuesday.
