"I hear you and Daisy are heading to Wakanda for a few days." Jemma said.
"Yeah, I'm not really sure why she wants me to accompany her, since it's negotiations for authorizing a SHIELD presence in Wakanda." Lincoln said.
"I think she's doing this to test you." Jemma said with a smile.
"Test me for what?" Lincoln asked.
"Your commitment to the relationship. After all, you do know that Daisy's list of admirers includes Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson and T'Challa. She probably invited you to come with her to make it clear that she was in a relationship with someone for one thing, but also because she wants to make sure that you're as committed to the relationship as she is." Jemma said.
"That's ridiculous, everyone here knows that I love Daisy." Lincoln said.
"Except for her. Lincoln you never told her that you love her. In fact, I don't think you've treated her as anything more than your superior since she got her promotion." Jemma said.
"I didn't even realize that I've been neglecting her. I'm honestly amazed she hasn't left me yet for someone more deserving." Lincoln said.
"Well, maybe you can fix things with her while you're gone. See her as your girlfriend and not your director." Jemma said.
"I owe you one Jemma." Lincoln said.
"Just don't blow things with Daisy. After everything she's been through, well, you know that she deserves someone that she can love for the rest of her life and she chose you. Let's just hope you don't make the same mistake of her past boyfriends and letting her go." Jemma said.
"Trust me, unlike those other idiots, I'm not gonna forget just how lucky I am to have her in my life again. She means everything to me." Lincoln said.
"Tell her that, not me." Jemma said.
"Thanks Jemma." Lincoln said.
"Daisy, can we talk." Lincoln asked as he entered her room.
"Let me guess, Jemma told you the real reason I invited you to join me in Wakanda." Daisy said, not even surprised.
"Yeah, why didn't you tell me that you were feeling neglected?" Lincoln asked.
"I'm the director and face of SHIELD, the world's most vital intelligence agency. I can't exactly cry about my relationship problems. It's a sign of weakness." Daisy said.
"You should've told me." Lincoln said.
"I thought you'd catch on. I forgot how clueless men can be." Daisy said.
"Very funny. So, how exactly did you hope to clue me in on this in Wakanda?" Lincoln asked.
"I'm pretty sure T'Challa has a thing for me, so I was gonna how committed to our relationship you were by seeing how jealous I could make you." Daisy said.
"That's cruel." Lincoln said.
"No one ever said being in a relationship with me would be easy. You have to do the work if you want to stay with me." Daisy said.
"Well I am more than willing to do the work." Lincoln said with a smile as he took a step closer to her.
"Then why don't you prove it." Daisy said with a smile of her own.
"Gladly." Lincoln said as he wrapped his arms around Daisy's waist and pulled her into a kiss.
"I missed this." Daisy said when they separated for air.
"So have I. Now I believe there's something else we haven't done since you died." Lincoln said with a smile.
"There are 3 words you know I still have to hear from you before I let this go any further." Daisy said, finally deciding she's waited long enough, especially since she'd already said it to him.
Lincoln smiled and said "I love you Daisy Johnson. I always have and I always will."
"You nailed it." Daisy said as she pulled off her shirt and Lincoln pulled off his and things just escalated from there.
Daisy and Lincoln were lying in Daisy's bed, recovering from the most pleasure either one of them had felt in months.
"I'd forgotten how good that feels." Daisy said with a blissful smile on her face.
"Glad I could please you director." Lincoln said as he rolled over onto his side to face her.
"Please don't call me director right after we've had sex, it kind of kills the mood and any chance you might have at a round 2." Daisy said.
"Noted." Lincoln said as he kissed her.
"You don't have to come with me to Wakanda if you don't want to." Daisy said, since now that she was reassured in Lincoln's commitment to her, she didn't see the need to test him.
"Are you kidding. You think I'm gonna let you go to a country run by a king who has a thing for you without me. Besides, we have months of lost time to make up for." Lincoln said.
"You do know that I'll mostly be stuck in private meetings with T'Challa all day to discuss the details." Daisy said.
"But the nights will be all ours." Lincoln said.
"You certainly know how to charm a girl Agent Campbell." Daisy said.
"Only when that girl is you, Director Johnson." Lincoln said.
"I'll let that one slide." Daisy said with a smile as they began to kiss again.
