Chapter Three: Something About You
Daniel couldn't hold back the moan that escaped his lips as the taste of fried dumpling savored on his tongue, he could really get used to the twenty first century,.if this is how food was made now, he didn't miss what he had back in the fifties. He could hear Daisy chuckle next to him at his reaction.
They had spent most of the day organizing their rooms, making sure that clothing was in the closet and dressers in the proper spots, Daniel had made up a list of things he would need to get at the market the following day and by the time night fall came him and Daisy were curled up on the couch, enjoying each others company as they ate Chinese food.
"Man, I think I could eat these all of the time."Daisy smirked. "Yeah you could, but then you would ruin that amazing figure of yours."Daniel felt his cheeks flush as he took another bite of a dumpling that Daisy had offered him.
"Just teasing of course."Daniel chuckled softly, he honestly couldn't imagine his life without Daisy in it. The past year with her and the team, they had become family to him, they had welcomed him with open arms, had joined them on their missions when it was necessary, but Daisy was the one he would do anything for, something about her, she was different and he didn't want this feeling to ever go away.
There was a part of him that wanted to tell Daisy how he felt, that he had felt this connection between them the first moment he had laid eyes on her back in his office, it felt like yesterday that he had heard Jemma's fake Peggy accents. It had been cute now that he thought about it. Would Jemma approve of him telling Daisy how he felt?, He was sure after finding out that Jemma was the main one that wanted the two of them together in the first place.
"Hey Daisy..I.."Daniel felt Daiy's thumb on his bottom lip he felt himself shiver at the contact, his eyes meeting hers. "Sorry, you had some sauce on your lip."Daisy said with a small smile. Daniel felt his heart hammering he wanted to so badly to lean forward and kiss her.
"What did you want to tell me?"She asked softly. He hesitated for a moment, no this had to be the right timing, he had to think of a plan, a perfect way, but watching her now, she looked so relaxed, so content, it honestly made him happy after everything she had been through she deserved it.
"I wanted to tell you something..but..I'm not sure if I should.."He murmured shyly, he licked his bottom lip the feeling of her thumb still there. Just when Daisy was about to respond she jumped when she heard her phone go off. Really they were only gone a day, well maybe to the team it was longer.
"We'll finish this later?"Daniel sighed as he watched her head up to her room with her cell phone against her ear.
"Right..Later."He mumbled as he closed the container for the dumplings deciding to put the rest of the uneaten Chinese food away and clean up for the evening.

Once Daniel had finished cleaning the kitchen he decided to retire for the evening, he walked up to Daisy's room, pressing his ear against her door, he could hear muttering and giggling over the phone, a small smile formed on his lips, She must be talking with Jemma or YoYo.
He peered his head around the door once he knocked, Daisy looked eyes with him from her bed . "I'm going to head in for the night, are you going to be okay?"Daisy smiled at him. "Of course, thank you. Jemma says hello by the way, she was telling me that her and Fitz were planning a honeymoon they never got." Daniel chuckled softly as he leaned against the door.
"That's great. I'm happy for them. Tell them I said hi."Daisy nodded as she leaned back against her pillows. "Hey Daniel, thank you.."The brunette furrowed his eyebrows when she thanked him, honestly he should be thanking her for everything.
"You don't have to thank me Daisy..Have a good night."He said softly waving at her before he closed the door he felt a pair of lips on his cheek which made him blush.
"Goodnight Daniel."Daisy said softly she decided to hug him, he always felt so warm and comforting, he was the home she never felt before other than the team, he made her feel safe. She didn't want that feeling to go away.
"Daisy? Daisy!" Daniel chuckled after he returned the hug, hearing Jemma's voice over the phone. "I'll leave you too it."He smiled at her "If you need anything let me know."He said as he waved at her once more before heading down the hall way.
Daisy sighed watching him leave a smile formed on her lips as she closed her door. "Someone has it bad."Jemma sung into her ear causing Daisy to roll her eyes. "Shut up Simmons."
