Matt/Foggy, domesticity leads to unexpected feelings

Both of my favorite fanfic tropes revolve around friends-to-lovers slow build relationships: 1. intense, heart-wrenching Not Actually Unrequited Pining and 2. the very opposite, "I think I love you but I'm not entirely sure how or when that happened?"

You often see the first one in fanfic (and I love it!), but I'd love more of the second kind.

So yeah, basically, the premise I've had in mind is this:

After law school, Matt and Foggy were actually thinking about living together because it'd save them some money and being roommates worked fine for them, so why not, but Matt declined because of Daredevil related things.

Some time after the reveal, Foggy has to move in with Matt (or the other way around, I'm not picky) for some reason and they're reminded of how compatible they are in the domestic department.

So yeah, Foggy moves in with Matt (or Matt with Foggy) and just ... doesn't leave.

But things have changed since law school, they're Responsible Adults (TM) now, and they start acting more and more couple-ish, falling into a routine, sharing a bed because why the hell not, cuddling on the couch in the evening, cracking jokes about how they should just get married, because after all, what's a marriage if not having a sleepover with your best friend every day?

At some point they realize that shit, they actually ARE in love, they just skipped the whole dating process and headed straight into domestic bliss territory.

Bonus points: I've got this scene in my head where they just lie in bed, talking and laughing, facing each other, and they kiss without really thinking about it. And afterwards, they're like "Yup, that happened. And it was kinda nice? What now?"
If you include something like that, my body, soul and firstborn are all yours for the taking.
