Huffing, Lance does as shesays.

“It’s not like I haven’tseen you naked before, love.”

“It’s the principal of thematter.”

Once she’s fully dressed,she slips on her shoes then pushes him towards the window.

“Let’s get this show onthe road then head back to your place afterwards,” states Daisy.

Lance frowns.

“Why my place?” he asks.

“Because…we’d end up waking Jemma up and she wouldn’t get her fulleight hours. You know how she can be when she can’t science properly,” answersDaisy.

His eyes widen then henods.

“That’s fair.”

Lance moves over to thewindow, looks down at the ground then at the tree before carefully straddlingthe windowsill. Then he reaches out to a branch and grabs a tight hold onto itbefore transitioning from the windowsill to the tree. It only takes him a coupleminutes to climb down the tree. Daisy copies his actions before pausing on thetree to break off a small twig to place between the window and the sill so shecould get back in later but keep out any animals who may get a smart idea. Thenshe makes her way down the tree.

They quickly make theirway out to the front of her house and head down the sidewalk to where he parkedhis car.

At least there’s a localgrocery store that’s open 24 hours for some reason.

“Alright, we’re gettingchocolate, cookie dough and whatever other flavor looks good to us. One rule,nothing ‘healthy’ like sorbet and what have you,” comments Daisy.

“Ma’am, yes ma’am,” repliesLance sarcastically.

She rolls her eyes before bumpingher shoulder against his.

“Alright, let’s do thisand hope Trip never finds out because Mr. Health Nut will never let us livethis down,” comments Daisy.

“Now, you’ve jinxed us sothe future lecture is on you,” replies Lance.

“Consider, this wholething was your idea though,” she states.

He drapes an arm over hershoulder and pulls her close and she lets him.

“And yet, you’re goingalong with it so…”

They enter the store andit’s quieter than it is when its at its peak and given the time, that’s notsurprising though it feels weird and almost unnatural. At least, they’ll get inand out quickly because there aren’t a lot of people here.

Hunter lets her go as soonas they arrive at the ice cream section.

Smiling as she watches himscan the ice cream choices, Daisy admits to herself she’s glad they’re friendsbecause he’s the only one she could do something like this with and hecertainly keeps things interesting.

He opens the door and pullsout her choices first and hands them over to her to hold which she does withoutargument then he goes back in for his own. Lance emerges with mint chocolate chipand a black cherry ice cream.

Hunter grins.

“Ready to get this partystarted?” he asks.

She returns the grin.

“Hell yes.”

They head to one of theself-checkout lines where he scans and pays while she bags the ice cream.

It doesn’t take them longto get back to Hunter’s place and he’s glad Mack spent the night at his girlfriendElena’s place because he can only imagine what Mack would have to say if hewoke up and saw them.

They open their tubs ofice cream and put several scoops into two bowls before heading to the livingroom.

Daisy throws on a random episodeof Legends of Tomorrow for background noise before digging into her ice creamas Hunter started to the moment he sat down.

She keeps an eye on him outof the corner of her eye before moving in quickly and stealing a bite of his mintchocolate chip.

“Hey! Eat your own ice cream,Johnson!” he exclaims.

Chuckling to herself, Daisyscoops up a bite of her chocolate ice cream then holds it out for him to eat.

“Unlike some people, I’mgood at sharing,” she replies.

He opens his mouth so shefeeds him the ice cream then takes the spoon back as he licks his lips afterwardscausing her to look away so he can’t see her slight blush.

Pulling herself together,she quickly stuffs more ice cream into her mouth but in her haste, the spoonmissed her mouth but she didn’t notice it. Lance, on the other hand…does.

“You’ve got some ice creamon your cheek. Let me get it for you,” he comments.

Daisy expects him to use apaper towel but he reaches over and swipes the ice cream off of her cheek withhis finger then licks it clean.

Yeah, she’s a goner.

Daisy pulls up her legs sothey’re tucked underneath her then she shifts so she’s leaning against Hunter’sshoulder until he moves his arm to drape it over her shoulder and pull hercloser.

As they watch the episodeand enjoy the other’s presence, their ice cream quickly disappears.

“Hey Dais….” he starts.

When he doesn’t get aresponse, he looks over at her and sees that she fell asleep against him and hesmiles.

Daisy’s not the onlygoner.

Lance takes her empty bowland places it next to his on the table then moves them so she’s morecomfortable then follows her lead and drifts off to sleep with an arm wrappedaround her.

In the morning when Mackreturns home, he’s surprised he’s not surprised to find Hunter sleeping on thecouch with empty bowls on the coffee table and Daisy sleeping on his chest. Hesmiles at his friends as he takes the blanket off of the back of the couch beforecovering them with it. Then he fires of a text to Simmons so she’s not worriedabout Daisy.

He’ll let them sleep for acouple more hours then make them eat something decent even though both of themwill whine and complain about it.
