Gen, Foggy encountering ableism for the first time

[(Anonymous)]

I've read a lot of really good fics where Foggy in college goes out of his way to look up how he, as a sighted person, can help Matt and Foggy knowing what ableism looks like because of all his research and always immediately jumping to Matt's defense.

But I want the opposite, I want a Foggy who assumes Matt will tell him when he needs help, and maybe he asks Matt questions about things as they come up but he doesn't exactly go out of his way to research things about being blind. He just assumes Matt will always correct him when he makes mistakes (and Matt, being Matt, doesn't tell him and goes out of his way to act like everything is fine because he doesn't want Foggy to treat him any differently).

And then he sees Matt really struggling with something (registering for classes, maybe, if the forms aren't compatible with his screen reader?) or someone (classmates treating him like he's a child or assuming he has a learning disability or something) and Foggy just doesn't know what to do. Because he's never realized before exactly how difficult things can be for Matt or how shitty people can be towards anyone who's disabled.

And Foggy feels terrible because he realizes that he's probably been really ableist himself in the past, and Matt tries to reassure him that it doesn't matter "because everyone's like that, Foggy, I'm used to it by now, it's fine" and that just makes Foggy feel worse.
