Dousy

"Some of my favorite people are people like you. Focused on the greater good, even at your own expense. You want people to think you like being on your own even though you always end up back with friends."

- Daniel Sousa to Daisy Johnson; As I Have Always Been Sousy is the het ship between Daniel Sousa and Daisy Johnson from the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fandom.

First Meeting in Area 51
While in the year 1955, Daisy Johnson was sent to rescue Phil Coulson and Jemma Simmons who had been arrested after infiltrating the S.H.I.E.L.D. base in Area 51 in order to stop Helius. There, she sneaks into Daniel Sousa's office and upon meeting him, pretends to be a CIA Agent and confirms his suspicion that there were "sleepers" posted within S.H.I.E.L.D. post World War II - referring to Hydra. Daisy convinces Sousa that Coulson and Simmons are the key to proving this, causing him to trust her and lead her to them.

Once they reach the cells, Sousa warns Daisy to stand back as the prisoners may get "jumpy", seemingly concerned for her safety. Coulson and Simmons are let out and Daisy requests alone time with them but Sousa refuses to leave them alone. At that moment, an alarm goes off and Coulson throws Sousa into the cell and locks him in. Coulson, Simmons and Daisy run off to investigate the source of the alarm as Daisy swears to him that they are the good guys.

Rewriting History
After Coulson was arrested by Sousa again, due to an EMP Generator causing him to shut down, he managed to contact the team and inform them that this was the day Daniel Sousa was supposed to die, thus becoming the first fallen agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Fanon
Even though the Sousy pairing was introduced midway through the final season, it has been met with positive acclaim. Fans have been frustrated with Daisy Johnson's bad luck when it comes to her romantic relationships as all her previous love interests have either ended up dead or evil.

Daniel Sousa on the other hand has also experienced heartbreak through his failed relationship with Peggy Carter who ultimately ends up with Steve Rogers. While many fans of Agent Carter are PeggySous shippers, most agree that Sousa has been a nice foil to all of Daisy's seemingly "bad boy" pairings, seeing as he is more chivalrous and straight-laced.

Their relationship was somewhat foreshadowed back in season 6 when Daisy tells Simmons that what she really wanted was her own "Fitz", referring to their devotion to each other. Since Daisy is often attracted to the selfless and heroic types similar to Lincoln Campbell, fans agree that Sousa would provide a more stable and mature relationship as they balance each other out through their strengths.
