Your head-canon makes sense to me, except in those last couple eps, which totally portrayed Fitz as being all sad because he'd always loved Simmons and he got friend-zoned. Which was not the vibe I'd gotten for the whole rest of the series.
I mean, he can totally be jealous of Triplet and still see Simmons as more of a sibling than anything. Just because his feelings were platonic doesn't mean he can't feel threatened by someone else liking her. But it seemed like the writers didn't agree.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this point. According to TV and movies, romantic feelings are literally the only reason a guy does anything where a girl is involved. Ever. I guess I just hoped for a lighter touch than we got in those last few eps.
