“Okay, so why exactly did you agree to cook dinner?” Karen asks as Foggy starts hopelessly at the vegetables in the produce section.

“That does not sound like helping, Karen.” Karen nudges his shoulder affectionately and he lets out a resigned sigh. “Well, okay, so I want to take him out on a proper date but he kind of doesn't leave the apartment and inviting him over to my place for take out doesn't exactly send the romantic message I want to convey so...”

"Wait, what do you mean he doesn't leave the apartment?” Karen picks up on that piece of information immediately.

“Well, not in several months...”

“Seriously? He hasn't left the apartment in months? Why?” Karen has that dangerously curious look on her face that she gets all too often.

Foggy shifts uncomfortably. "I kind if feel like I shouldn't be sharing this," he mumbles. It doesn't really feel like his information to share.

"Nonsense. I am your best friend and you tell me everything." Karen insists.

“He hasn't exactly told me. He, uh, got hurt a while back. Like, they thought he wouldn't be able to walk again hurt. He is pain and I think maybe a little scared of the world,” Foggy explains. That last part isn't exactly right. Matt seems more guilty then afraid but Foggy is not going to even begin to bring that up with Karen.

Foggy can tell what look Karen is giving him before he turns to see it. “Foggy,” she says in a tone that makes him instantly regret inviting her.

"Why do I feel a lecture coming on?"

"I'm not going to lecture you, Foggy. I am just wondering if this is another one of your white knight things.”

Foggy scoffs. "I don't have a white knight thing. Why does everyone always say that?"

"Let's see, there was that girl back in college who you fell for while she was in the middle of a total mental break down. There was that girl Jade, with Lupus. Micheal was disowned for being gay and was extremely repressed about the whole thing, Sam was cheating on his abusive girlfriend with you-”

"Okay, god, stop. You are making me sound like a creep. And your dating history is not that much better. And most of those were years ago."

“First of all, the most well adjusted person you have ever dated is Marci," Foggy groans loudly at that but Karen just keeps talking, “And I am not saying you are a creep. Far from it. You like to help people, you care about them. I also think, sometimes, you focus a little too much on helping them and a little less on actually, you know, dating them.”

"Why did I ask for your help again?"

"My help comes with life advice. You know that."

Foggy sighs hopelessly. "I am not... I mean, yeah, I've done that, but Matt is different. Plus, I've idolized him since I was ten-”

“Back up a second. What?"

"Oh, did I not mention that part? I swear I mentioned that part. My neighbor is Matt fucking Murdock."

"Am I supposed to know who that is?"

"Matt Murdock, hero if hells kitchen, son of Battlin' Jack Murdock."

"I didn't grow up here, remember. My knowledge of neighborhood lore is not as strong as yours."

"I swear I have told you this story before. When he was a kid he pushed an old man out of the way of a car accident, got some weird shit splashed in his eyes and went blind. His dad was a local boxer, killed for not throwing a match. Seriously, I have told you this story."

"Let me get this straight, you asked out a blind shut in with a back injury who you have worshiped since you were ten?"

"Words can hurt, Karen.”

Karen holds her hands up in defense, “Just making sure I understand the situation fully,” she explains.

"Well could yo do that while coming up with a menu? Because I still have no idea what to make."

Matt managed to move from the bed to his windowsill sometime past noon. He is leaning heavily against the wall, eyes shut. The window is swung open wide and there is a pleasant breeze on his skin. The city is wide awake now. There is a mobile hotdog cart parked outside of the apartment. The smell of stale hotdog water and twenty different kinds of sub par meat is mildly sickening. There is a couple waking down the street trying not to bring attention to the argument they are clearly having. A child is tugging on her mom's arm and begging for a balloon animal.

Matt sighs.

Before, he had a list of things that he wanted to do before...before he can't do them anymore. Now, that list seems pointless. Despite his best efforts against it, his mind is making a new list. It is stupid and pointless. He already made up his mind. He sticks with his choices. There is no point in considering alternatives now. But still, he is making the list. The pros and cons of staying alive. Pros: The way the earth smells right before it rains. The electricity in the air right before a storm. The sounds of Foggy stretching and cursing in the morning. The feather light touch of his lips against the corner of Matt's mouth. Cons: The pain. He can't push his body anymore, can't fight as he could before. There is a gray hopelessness that colors everything he does. His life is a burden to him and those around him. Pro: Maybe Foggy won't see him as a burden.

Matt feels as though he is sinking.

One person is not enough. One person that he barely even knows is not enough to keep him here. It is foolish to think otherwise. Happiness can't be found that way. Not to mention how unfair that would be to Foggy. Matt would need to much from him. He could never ask another person to take care of him that way. That is half of how he ended up in this position to begin with.

Matt isn't stupid enough to let himself hope for anything more. He knows how any relationship he tried would end up. With the other person carrying his wait, taking care of him and constantly trying to reassure him that it is no trouble. He would never truly believe them. It would end in mutual resentment and he would be right back to where he is now.

But he doesn't want to back off the date. It is stupid, selfish, and nearsighted but he still wants to go. He wants Foggy to make him a romantic dinner on the roof, high above the city on a warm summer night. He wants to eat whatever Foggy manages to make, drink wine with him and learn about his childhood. He wants Foggy to kiss him at the end of the night, properly kiss him this time. He wants...

It would be less cruel to back out. He could make up some excuse, avoid him for the next few days. He should put a stop to this now. Backing out now could save Foggy some unneeded pain later on. Although, at this point, any path he takes seems to end the same. Either way, Foggy is going to end up hurt. Either way, Matt is going to end up dead. He might as well enjoy the last few days he has alive. He could enjoy them with Foggy.

Stupid, selfish, nearsighted.

Oh, this is heartbreaking and lovely. <33

The list of pros and cons broke my heart. :c

oh I love this a lot. <3
