Imagine an AU where Foggy didn't leave Landman & Zack, even though Matt did. Reason why? Foggy felt he was too in love with Matt, and he knew Matt wouldn't return his feelings. Maybe Matt doesn't because he's too Catholic, or just too straight. Or both. Long story short, Foggy stays at Landman & Zack, and Matt still later becomes Daredevil. Years after their separation, Foggy and Matt meet again, as Foggy and Daredevil! Basically interested in a lot of angst here people.
And all I can think of is what if Matt didn't know why Foggy stayed? Like, Foggy thought it would hurt less if he and Matt drifted apart, and this whole time, Matt has been trying to figure out what he did to push Foggy away? [hello abandonment issues]
So a few years later, Daredevil saves Foggy from some angry muggers or mobsters or something and they start to talk.
Basically Matt's hanging around Foggy as Daredevil, seeing it as a second chance at their friendship, because as long as Foggy doesn't know it's him, he can't hate him. and Foggy's miserable at Landman and Zach, and Daredevil reminds him of Matt.
Foggy actually worries about Daredevil, he's crazy reckless, like; Foggy asking him once "Don't you have anyone who'd miss you if you got yourself killed out there?" and Daredevil just saying "No. Not anymore"
Eventually, though, he starts dropping clues, Foggy asks how he fights the way he does, and he tells him about how he can hear a heartbeat from across the room, and smell what Foggy'd had for dinner the night before.
One day, Daredevil, in a sidelong way, talking about best friends or roommates or something, brings himself up, as in Matt, and Foggy, oblivious, admits to Daredevil the whole story. How he was still in love with his best friend, and he thought it would be easier for both of them if they drifted apart, rather that letting Foggy's emotions make it awkward.
Matt is pissed. Foggy just assumed that he wasn't interested and he takes off his mask, stops doing his Daredevil voice and asks "What gave you the right to decide that for me?"

Then yelling, then crying, then kissing.
