FILL What All This Time Was For (2/?)

(Anonymous) 2015-08-02 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
“I'll pay for the hotel room, or part of it, if you like.”

Matt looks just as awkward as he does whenever he mentions money, which is fair, since Foggy isn't sure which of them hates it more. Matt hates the reminder that it's still the last of the inheritance he got from his dad and Foggy hates that it ever has to come up at all. This time, though, he just rolls his eyes. “For my high school reunion, Matt? Don't be ridiculous.”

“I'm part of what convinced you to go.”

“So you're saying that you and Meg and Mom should split it three ways and Karen should chip in for room service? Because that's what I'm hearing.” No one is more stubborn than Foggy, especially where Matt's concerned. Matt's just lucky that Foggy doesn't put up a fight very often, because Matt folds like a bad hand of poker every time he does.

“If I'm staying in the room with you, then it stands to reason I should help pay.”

Foggy shakes his head, and has to stop himself from saying he did it. He's still trying to figure out what Matt can and can't hear, but he's erring on the side of assuming Matt knows things for now. “I know I say I'm broke a lot, buddy, but this isn't a luxury hotel and I've still got Christmas money because I'm thrifty.” He'd kind of earmarked it for a major upgrade on his first aid kid after he found out about Matt, but that will have to wait.

“You'll let me pay for meals and the cab over, then.”

“I think Meg and Jeff will drive us over, no cabs needed.”

“Meals and incidentals.”

It's only an overnight. That means hardly anything, if he can keep Matt from doing something sneaky. He unfortunately has a lot of faith in Matt's ability to be sneaky these days. “Fine, meals and incidentals, we'll renegotiate that if we need to.” Foggy sighs and leans back in his chair. It's been a long day in the office, back and forth to the police station three times and no coherent defense yet for a case that would be open and shut if prosecutors weren't assholes. “I still don't get why you want to come in the first place.”

“Because I want to support you.”

Foggy rolls his eyes. “Wrong question, clearly. Why do you want me to go, Matt?”

Matt pauses for long enough that Foggy stops being casually annoyed and starts paying attention. He doesn't know what he's going to do if Matt tells him one of his classmates grew up to become a mob boss. Cry, possibly. Mob boss probably means winning the reunion by default. “You never talked about high school,” Matt finally says.

Foggy blinks at him. Matt almost certainly can't sense that, unless he's listening to Foggy's eyelashes, but he is really disinclined to narrate it. “Neither did you. I felt like it wasn't really relevant to things.”

“You tell me all sorts of stories that you don't think are relevant, if you think I'll think they're funny. About your family and elementary school and undergrad.” Matt looks down. “I didn't think about it. How unhappy you must have been to never talk about it.”

“So you want me to go relive years of hell?” he asks, confused.

Matt shakes his head, frowning. “I know you think your life isn't impressive, but I think if you go and see them, you'll find it's a lot better than you think, and maybe than they think.”

Foggy laughs, startled. “Oh man, you think I'm winning the reunion! Your loyalty is much appreciated, buddy, but you are going to find yourself disappointed. Fair warning, I'll disown you if you spend the night in the hotel room of someone who was mean to me in high school.”

“I would never do that,” Matt says, offended. He's right. Matt may be one for the ladies but he is definitely not one for hurting Foggy, most of the time. “And I don't think you're winning the reunion, but I think you'll feel better instead of worse after you've gone. Confronted your past.”

“This is some weird ninja-training related thing.” Foggy sighs and scrubs his hands over his eyes while Matt splutters out a denial. “Wax on, wax whatever.”

“Foggy …” Matt huffs out an annoyed noise, because he sulks like a six-year-old. “I've never seen you intimidated by something like this, not even the bar exam. You don't have any obligation to win a stupid reunion, but you can't let them win it either.”

“You're going to get an invitation in a few months and I am going to summarize this whole conversation back at you so you can resent me just as much as I resent you right now.”

Matt leans, searching with his hand until it lands on Foggy's knee. “We're going to be fine, Foggy. And if it makes you feel better we'll go to my reunion together as well and I'll tell them that I definitely won the reunion because I have you as my partner.”

“You default win your reunion for being a hot superhero with a law degree.”

“I can't tell them about a third of that, can't confirm another third, and you have a law degree as well.”

“Bullshit you can't, aren't heartbeats an indicator of hotness?” Foggy taps Matt's hand. “Look, I'm going. I'll confront my demons or whatever and you'll tell me horror stories about what hotel mattresses smell like and the next night we'll go out with Karen and tell her the story of how Conrad Whittier still hates me but at least didn't ruin my textbooks this time.”

Matt gets a crime-fighting look on his face, and Foggy suddenly wonders if it's a really bad idea to bring Matt to this thing. Matt gets a wee bit protective of Foggy sometimes, which was nice when he just thought it was Matt mother-henning and sometimes verbally smacking people down and is a little scary now that Foggy knows Matt can actually smack people down.

“It's going to be fine, Matt. Conrad Whittier probably grew up to be a priest and repented of all his childhood bullying and will just try to save our souls, which should be fun for the whole family.”

Matt squeezes Foggy's knee again. “Just remember I'll be there with you every step of the way.”

So that way both of them can be upset when Foggy can't pretend he's over high school. Great. “You always are,” he says, since it's the only positive thing he can think of that isn't a lie, and he's rewarded with Matt's smile.

-- Hahaha, this is my favorite line so far.

And if it makes you feel better we'll go to my reunion together as well and I'll tell them that I definitely won the reunion because I have you as my partner.

-- Aw, Matty. <3

Matt gets a crime-fighting look on his face

-- LOL! I can completely imagine that look.

This fic is such a joy to read.<3
