"An Avenger. I have an actual date with an actual Avenger. And not just any Avenger. The hottest Avenger."

"So you've told us. Several times," Karen says with fond exasperation as Matt grits his teeth and tries to will his migraine away. "Sixteen, by my last count."

"I'm trying to see if saying it enough times makes it feel any more real. Turns out it's not working. Seriously, Karen, an Avenger," and if Matt has to listen to one more second of this, his head might actually explode...due to the noise of the conversation. Obviously.

"You don't even like the Avengers," he cuts in and is extremely proud of himself when his voice comes across as mild instead of a petulant whine. "You said they were, and I quote, a group of self-righteous destructive jackasses who think they're above the law and give no thought to the consequences of their actions or offer any restitution to the people they've harmed, while still embracing the title of hero just because they happen to be good at killing things. We used to write up lawsuits against them when we were bored." The one on Tony Stark is large enough to occupy an entire shelf of thick binders. One of these days, he swears he's going to put it to good use.

Foggy waves a hand. "The original group who fucked off to all points nowhere after wrecking Hell's Kitchen, sure. But the new one's pretty cool. Plus," he adds dryly, "this was years ago. I've had some time and experience to reconsider my stance on vigilantes acting outside of the law since then."

There's a brief awkward silence as Matt wallows in the usual mire of guilt (crap, I dragged Foggy's moral stance on the law down with me) and warmth (yay, Foggy's willing to readjust his moral stance on the law for me) that comes up whenever his Outside Activities are mentioned. Karen clears her throat and pats Foggy companionably on the arm. "Don't be so nervous," she says kindly. "Avenger or not, he's still just a regular guy, right? I mean, it's not like Matt's any less dorky just because we know he's Daredevil."

"Hey," says Matt, slightly offended, just as Foggy says, "Yeah, but I've seen Matt so drunk that he had to literally roll his way back home because he couldn't stand up straight." Karen makes an undignified snorting giggle as Foggy continues his story. "I'm serious! We're about a hundred feet away from our dorm and Matt just faceplants onto the grass and refuses to get back up. I had to direct him with his own cane to get him to move at all. It's pretty much impossible being intimidated by someone when you've rolled them Katamari style back home. Video game where you roll things into a ball," he explains when Matt makes a confused noise. "It's weirdly addictive."

As Karen and Foggy segue into a discussion over which tie looked better ("You have a duck pattern and a Tweety pattern, I think they're both lost causes, Foggy." "But they're birds! He has to like birds, right?"), Matt drifts off into reminiscence. Despite evidence to the contrary, he hadn't been that drunk that night; enough to get the spins, yeah, but he knew when to stop before walking became an actual problem. But Foggy had been in his system like a drug, like a high, pushing him to do ridiculous things that he would have never considered beforehand just so he could hear the other man crack up all over agin. Matt had never been good at getting people to laugh. Flirty giggles or affected chuckles, yes, but not the kind that burst out of someone because they simply couldn't help themselves. Whereas Foggy made people laugh like that all the time. He hadn't even known he could laugh that hard and that genuinely until he'd met Foggy, and when he realized that through some miracle Foggy found him funny enough that he could do it back...well. It'd been addicting.

What Foggy hadn't mentioned in his retelling - what he doesn't know and will never find out - is how close Matt had come to kissing him that night. Giddy with laughter, dizzy with affection, the urge had swelled in his chest without the usual accompaniment of denial to push it back down. He'd pressed his nose against the side of Foggy's neck under the pretense of a drunken embrace, felt that pulse trip and speed up, thought yes now please yes - and then Foggy had snorted and pushed him away gently.

"You are way too drunk right now, buddy," he'd said, all amusement in his voice, because of course he'd blame the sudden touchy-feeliness on the alcohol when Matt had never given him a reason to think otherwise. "Come on, let's get you to bed before you pass out in the hallway." And Matt had gone obediently and vowed to try again in the morning when they were both sober. He'd meant to keep that vow too, right up to the point when morning actually dawned, bringing with it a killer hangover and a reminder of the hundreds of reasons why kissing his best friend would be the worst move he's ever made in a life already full of terrible mistakes.

There'd always been reasons. Elektra, Marci, Karen, Claire. The stress of working at Landman and Zachs, the weight of all of the lies on his shoulders, the need to rebuild a fractured friendship first. All good reasons, solid enough to quash down the thread of want that rose every now and again and let him pretend they were nothing more than idle daydreams or a passing curiosity. He needs to remember those reasons right now, because he's not - he's not jealous, okay. He can't be jealous. He doesn't have the right to be jealous, because Foggy deserves to be happy, and Sam could probably make him happy, and Matt - Matt would like to believe that he's not the kind of asshole who'd get possessive and entitled over someone who doesn't even know he's interested. Which he's not, because he is a good friend - or at least he's trying to be, the debate is still open on his actual rate of success on that front - and good friends are supportive and encouraging and definitely don't have fantasies about locking their best friend away in a room where no other ridiculously attractive and charming superheroes will ever be able to flirt with him again. He is going to be the most supportive son of a bitch this world has ever seen, the kind of best friend that Foggy deserves, and then he's going to go see Claire about possible internal bleeding because that's the only explanation for why the pit of his stomach aches so badly.

"Foggy," he says, interrupting what seems to be a truly fascinating conversation over whether a vast knowledge of bird puns would impress Sam or make him run screaming out the door. "Stop freaking out, you have nothing to worry about. Sam's a good guy and he's clearly interested, the two of you will get along just fine." And the kicker of it all is that it's the truth. If it'd been any other Avenger, Matt would have his doubts, but there was something remarkably genuine about Sam Wilson. He's only worked together with the Falcon a couple of times, but it'd been enough for him to see how this man would have been able to win Captain America's trust and intimate friendship in a matter of days. "And if he doesn't, then he's a much bigger idiot than I thought and it's his loss."

Foggy's standing close enough that he can feel his cheeks heating up at the reassurance. "Thanks, buddy," and Matt takes a moment to congratulate himself on his phenomenal ability at staying cool under pressure without anyone being the wiser. "Hey, are you all right, by the way? You've got that furrow between your brows that usually means you're dealing with a killer migraine."

Damn. "It's the pain of betrayal," he says dryly, immensely thankful that he's the only one who can hear heartbeats in this room. "After all the hours and hard work we've put into the Avengers Burn Book, I can't believe you're this excited to be dating one of them."

"Hey, I'm not a fan of Taylor Swift's music either. Doesn't mean I wouldn't pee myself in excitement over the chance at dating her."

Karen snorts. "You love Taylor Swift's music. I know for a fact you own every single one of her albums."

"God help me, I do," Foggy sighs. "Anyway, I'm off. Wish me luck!" There's the sound of the door opening and shutting as he leaves the room, his bouncing footsteps the perfect accompaniment to the pitter-patter of joy in his chest.

"Good luck," Matt says softly to the closed door, and wishes that he could mean it.

(thanks for all the amazing comments, you guys! out of curiosity, would people prefer matt/foggy or foggy/sam to be endgame for this fic? i was planning on the first, but i might try to change it if more people want the latter.)

Ahhhh this is awesome.

I personally would like matt/foggy. But either way is fine.
So long as we have jealous matt, im good haha xD

I am not the OP- but I am a sucker for Matt/Foggy. I think Sam would be a gentleman and step aside if he found out Matt was pining.

THIS SECOND PART IS ALSO AMAZING HOMG.

Foggy, don't go with the bird ties nooooo

He's so adorable when he's enthusiastic. I think he would be over the moon to be dating anyone <3.

I love how Matt when he's jealous and guilty about feeling jealous. I HAVE BEEN THERE, BRO. I HAVE BEEN THERE.

I couldn't help but think of the raccoon rolling when you mentioned Matt rolling while drunk:

(And also signing for Matt/Foggy)

Oh my gosh, Matt/Foggy please. :D

ohmygodpoorMatt

(Also: ohmygodyouidiotMatt)

and OHMYGODANONILOVEYOU <333

(My vote is 1000% in for Matt/Foggy!)

Everything about this is amazing. I'm so happy right now.

(Matt/Foggy endgame, please!)
