@VexedVastic Miss Carter. How have you been?

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

"i never really had much help. been on my own since i was a child, so i learned quick to do things on my own." matt said, turning off the tea pot. his fingertips careful felt the hot pot before feeling the handle, grabbing it and making his way to where she was.

[𝓗𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝕵𝘢𝘥𝘦 @virulentserpens]

“consider it done. . .”
she soon saunters towards the kitchen — the pads of her fingers skimming along the wooded grain of the cabinets before opening one of them, gaze sweeping over the contents inside with appraisal. from the neatly arranged row; she retrieves two ceramic~~

@shehulkshulkie Me and you.

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

—— placing a pot and filling it with some water and a tea bag.

"give me a minute. this might take a while. would you mind taking out some cups? i don't remember taking some out."

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

years of living in the same apartment, he managed to remember the number of steps it takes for him to reach certain area, though it isn't without the occasional bumping into the wall or countertop.

matt turned on the stove and placed his hand above, feeling the heat before ——

[𝓗𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝕵𝘢𝘥𝘦 @virulentserpens]

watching him with unwavering focus while he maneuvered through the apartment effortlessly — each step guided with certainty, seemingly shaped by the kind of muscle memory that stems from time and necessity. when he struck the edge of the counter, an involuntary sound caught ~~

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

he used the wall as a guide to lead him into the kitchen where he'd start reaching out to feel the counter, only to bump into it. a short, quick laugh followed as he began reaching upward, opening a cabinet and reaching for some cups. "want some tea?"

[𝓗𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝕵𝘢𝘥𝘦 @virulentserpens]

once he’s out of sight — her gaze begins a quiet sweep, scanning the confined space, not snooping for anything, merely observing, every corner of his apartment. it’s unnervingly normal, which in her experience, puts her on edge. upon his swift arrival, her attention returns to ~~

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

@FeliciaKittyKat I have good faith that you're pictures are amazing as you.

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

in a matter of minutes, he comes out with a shirt on and pants— albeit backwards. he has some slippers on as he uses the wall to navigate himself to the kitchen.

[𝓗𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝕵𝘢𝘥𝘦 @virulentserpens]

by all means — she wouldn’t dare miss the moment he tries to pass as normal. will be patiently waiting. . .

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

today is going to be that day. if she'll excuse him, he's going to find his way back to the room and put on some clothes to look like a normal civilian.

[𝓗𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝕵𝘢𝘥𝘦 @virulentserpens]

suppose that’s fair — one day, when she’s lucky enough, she’ll catch him off-duty, dressed like a civilian.

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

as lawyer for most of his day, it seems like those tailored suits are part of him. it's seems somewhat— unnatural to not be in a suit when his whole day is spent in one.

[𝓗𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝕵𝘢𝘥𝘦 @virulentserpens]

quite the opposite actually — it might be refreshing to see him in something less polished for once. those tailored suits he loves wearing are starting to feel a little unnatural. not every day calls for courtroom attire.

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

part of thinks it has something to with the fact he isn't wearing a fancy suit and how she found him in a vulnerable position.

[𝓗𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝕵𝘢𝘥𝘦 @virulentserpens]

she prides herself on being hard to impress — and yet, he somehow piqued her attention from the start. she won’t delve any further than that.

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

didn't think he had any when it came to her.

[𝓗𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝕵𝘢𝘥𝘦 @virulentserpens]

hm, well. . . he’s exceeding expectations. she can admit that much.

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

a little bit of both.

[𝓗𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝕵𝘢𝘥𝘦 @virulentserpens]

is this how he normally takes his breaks or did she walk in on the unfiltered version of himself at the perfect moment?

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

taking a break.

# seductive sunday.

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

but it's a start. now that she agreed, he's willing to grant her a few answers if she has any questions.

[𝓗𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝕵𝘢𝘥𝘦 @virulentserpens]

start off easy? not nearly as fun — but since he’s proven to be interesting enough, for now, she’ll play nice.

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

——;

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

one can say it's not hard to get defensive when someone's asking the type of questions that dig into someone's life. his suggestion; start off easy and maybe he'll open up.

[𝓗𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝕵𝘢𝘥𝘦 @virulentserpens]

interesting — people who have nothing to hide usually don’t mind a few questions being asked and he’s getting a little defensive. fine. . . she won’t press him. however he’s not getting off that easily.

[Matt Murdock. @deviledheroics]

well, he never said he has something to hide. he just doesn't want people— her digging into his personal life.

[𝓗𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝕵𝘢𝘥𝘦 @virulentserpens]

suppose he should at least enlighten her — what exactly does he intend to do once his secret’s no longer buried and she figures it out? that much she’s curious about.
