Daisy Johnson would not consider herself easily distracted, a bit ADHD sometimes but who wasn't really? As a hackavist 'Skye', she started young, she had to be able to stay focused to ensure the truth got out there. From major government cover ups to which local dinners may be giving you normal coffee when you asked for decaf, little things mattered too. So when she found herself paying more attention then she should to a delivery man while she was supposed to be putting up lights she chided herself. Her super awesome focus and attention to detail went from pretty colors to brown, a lot of brown. She was a colors kind of gal herself, one look at her wardrobe would tell you all you needed to know about that. But she was following a brown uniform out of the corner of her eye and she could not stop herself no matter how hard she tried.
It was not like she had never seen a cute delivery guy before, here is LA they seemed to be at a premium with so many inspiring actors coming and going. She had never cared for acting herself, too much manipulation and she had no talent for accents. Absolutely none, while her British best friend's Scottish boyfriend could pull off American at the drop of a hat, so not fair. He did not strike her as the would be actor type, they tended to practice their fake smiles and all that while working. It left her wondering just what he did do with his free time, he didn't scream activist or hacker to her either. Trying to picture him as different things was a fun little game to play as she absently strung up lights for Jemma and Fitz. Smiling as she pictured a rather indulgent Baywatch scenario she reached to far and slipped. Ladder sliding harmlessly off the top of the bay window, her body aiming for cement and there was nothing to stop it. A flash of brown caught her eyes before she shut them as if that would help with the inevitable pain, it couldn't hurt right? She felt her shoulders and the back of her knees hit something much softer and warmer then stone, arms gripping not air. Opening her eyes she blinked up at the guy she had been paying a bit too much attention too, "umm..."
"You okay there chica?" Robbie asked looking her over, she did not look like she had hit anything on the way down, but she could have bruises he was unaware of.
Daisy swallowed, the hat had fallen off she should clearly make out his face, why did they have to wear hats anyway? Rich brown eyes studied her face with a mix of amusement and concern, late afternoon sun glinting off them. The mustache looked good on him, she was not always a fan of facial hair on potential boyfriends but it worked for him. She could even make out a dusting of freckles she had missed form afar, why were those so charming? Knowing he had asked her something she assumed it was the standard are you hurt she opened her mouth. "I just wanted to put Christmas lights up, but I ended up falling off the ladder and crashing into you while you were delivering a package to my door, but oh God you're hot." Blinking at his blink Daisy bit her lip turning pink, what the Hell was that just now? She hated lying but that was a Jemma Simmons level of honesty right there. How was he going to take that? Had she ruined her chance? How long could he stand there holding her as if she weighed nothing?
Robbie blinked at the rambling he had not seen coming, shock freezing his brain for a good long moment. When the stranger blushed and bit her lip he arched a brow, she looked mortified but was not trying to get away from him. It was not the first time he had been hit on, he knew how he looked, he could careless. He had been aware of her as he did his job, her form fitting jeans and not exactly lose gray tee did nothing to hide the fact she was not only beautiful she had some muscle tone to her. Models and stuck up would be stars bore him to tears but a spunky normal girl was much more to his liking. "You aren't too bad yourself girl."
Daisy glanced at him through way hair, dark eyes calm, lips curved into a bit of a smirk, she had a feeling that smirk would get her in trouble if she wasn't careful. "Please I am a mess."
"Nah, real is always better then fake," Robbie countered shaking his head, anyone could look good made up, that was the point of make up. Not everyone could look damn good with just a little natural accenting make up or none at all. Whoever this girl was she kept it real and he appreciated that.
Daisy smiled, that was a mindset she wished more men had really. Realizing she was still in his arms her own around his neck she blushed again, "Sorry, you can put me down now I'm fine."
Robbie set her gently on her feet, she not exactly heavy, "Glad to hear it."
Looking down Daisy noticed the box he had been carrying was resting on the top of his foot like a square soccer ball. "Wow you save us both!" Her reflexes were not crap but she was not sure she could have done that.
"Played a lot of soccer growing up," Robbie in formed her as he leaned over to take the box before anything else happened to it.
Daisy glanced at his legs, chiding herself for being so obvious but he was not looking at her so no harm right? "Thanks, I would have been so upset if this got damaged."
"If it is I'm sorry," Robbie frowned at the box, it sounded fine but he was not sure what it was.
"It's some rare part for a 1962 Chevrolet Corvette I ordered for my father type person," Daisy had grown up in the system so didn't really have family like normal people. Phil Coulson had helped her use her skills for good, mostly, and Lola was his baby.
Robbie tilted his head, "Nice ride, you father type person should be touched."
"You know something about classic cars?" Daisy did not want to assume man equaled car nut, Coulson like antique stuff it was endearing really.
"Yeah I do," Robbie answered handing over the box, Lucy was his pride and joy.
"Well...maybe you could help me find a few more rare parts for Lola, that's her name?" Daisy could hunt down basic needed parts but customizing was another story.
Robbie considered the pretty and a little bit crazy girl's request for all of five seconds before nodding, "Sure, I can come buy after work and we can go talk cars over a bite."
"Sounds great, meet me here at like 7?" Daisy had asked a guy out after stranger meetings, though none this cute. Damn why where those freckles so damn attractive to her?
"Stay off of ladders till then chica, later," Robbie saluted before fetching his hat from where it had fallen.
"Planning on it!" Daisy called after the guy, heading inside she ran fro the quest room, she need to shower and change.

"Well I am just glad you were not hurt Daisy," Jemma commented as she filed two mugs with freashly made coco. The window could easily be replaced, her friend could not.
"I was lucky that guy was there to save me from a nasty fall," Sure it had been partly his fault, but he had just been there doing his job. Daisy had been the one staring at him more then watching what she was doing, hardly his fault.
"And where exactly is he taking you?" Fitz asked frowning slightly, the guy sounded nice enough but he worried about Daisy.
"A casual diner to talk classic cars, Lola needs some love and Coulson has been so busy with work." It was not fair really, but once Lola was repaired she would see the light of day once again. Daisy was looking forward to seeing her dad smile again, he deserved it after all the shit he had put up with.
"Don't frown Fitz I am sure he is a lovely young man," Jemma soothed handing Fitz a mug as she sat down on the couch beside him.
Fitz nodded accepting the mug, "If not I am not above telling May."
Daisy sighed rolling her eyes, they all meant well but she could take care of herself, really. Smoothing down her open mix of blue plaid over shirt over a clean white shirt she wondered if maybe she was dressed a bit too casually? Sure the guy said he like real over fake but was this too real for a first kinda date thing? Gods she was stressing herself out and the date had not even started yet, what was wrong with her? A knock on the door got her to jump slightly, was is around 7 already? "You two be nice."
"I am always nice," Jemma protested looking and sounding mildly offended.
"That you are," Fitz assured her, patting her wrist.
Daisy grinned at the pair before opening the door, she had already embarrassed herself when they had met so why worry about it now? The guy was standing there glancing at the still fallen ladder, soft golden light from inside warming his skin. One look told her she was not under dressed and she instantly relaxed quite a bit. A black leather jacket with a white design was hanging open over a shirt of the shade of blue that looked amazing with darker skin tones. Jeans lighter then her own were a bit loser but did nothing to make her forget he had nice muscle tone under that denim. Leather gloves covered his hands so only his neck and face were showing, still looking really good. "Hey."
"Hey," Robbie returned smiling a bit when he noticed they had both went with a non-Christmas blue rather then red and/or green. The mix of blues looked good with her lighter skin and hair, laid back but clean.
Daisy caught his little smile and looked down as if she forgot she was also wearing blue, "Great minds eh?"
"Something like that yeah, you good to go?" Robbie frowned slightly when he heard someone inside, relaxing when a female giggle was heard.
"Yep, behave you two!" Walking out she closed the door, falling in beside the still nameless hot guy she blinked when she noticed his car. "This is yours?!"
"Lucy, and yes she is," Robbie answered as he opened the passenger side door for his guest, Lucy was his baby.
"She's beautiful," Daisy praised slipping inside, oh yes she could get used to this.
Robbie smirked as he closed his door, glancing over at the strange chica, "She likes you too."
"Good to know, thank God by shoes are clean," Daisy would have hated to tract dirt into such a fine machine.
Robbie chuckled softly at that, not everyone care enough to be so considerate, "Names Robbie by the way."
"Daisy," Daisy supplied, Robbie was a nice casual name is seemed to suit him well, she assumed his full name was Roberto since he was clearly Latino.
Robbie arched a brow at that as he pulled away, "That must have been fun growing up with."
"Never was supper girly so meh, you going to tease me about it?" Daisy was used to being teased about her name, depending on how she was teased her reaction changed.
"Sure I will at least once but nah, not like it's Muffy," Robbie frowned, people should not be named the same thing as dogs.
"Good God some people are horrible parents aren't they?" Daisy grinned as she leaned back, lit houses painting the world in color.
"You said it chica not me," Robbie agreed with a bit of a grin, white people worried him sometimes.
"So where we going? Can we eat outside since it's so nice out?" Daisy wanted to to enjoy the lights even if there was no snow to go with them.
Robbie nodded as he took a left, "You like churros?" He knew plenty of out door places she might like depending on her answer.
Daisy grinned at Robbie, "Babe this will work out just fine."

So yeah this might just end up as a part one if I ever feel the urge to revisit this, never know with me. Now the soccer and Daisy's love of churros are reference to other things you might know about if you know anything about their actors. Hope you all enjoyed the first one of these holiday prompt fics.
