"They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angels weep
But if I die here tonight
I die in my sleep"

"I know... that I may have kept stalking you and had to turn away when I realized what was happening was intimate... So I apologize."
Matt just shook his head as he headed to Elektra's apartment with Rhea behind him, "I told you that I'd contact you, Rhea."
"I know... I just felt like you'd forget and go meet up with Elektra without me." Rhea eyed him, "After all, you find her attractive."
"Rhea..."
"I'm just saying, Matt." Rhea just crossed her arms over her chest, "I know what Elektra does to you. I was there during college, I witness just how fucked up you were after she left."
"That's not going to happen again, Rhea."
"I hope so." Rhea pulled her hair back to keep it out of her face, "For your sake and for Benny's."
"Rhea-"
"I'm serious, Matt." Rhea stopped walking and stood in front of him and since their heights were the same she didn't even have to look up or down, "What you have now is good. Genuinely. And I really don't want it all to be ruined just because Elektra is giving you attention again."
Matt shook his head"That won't happen."
"If you say so.",
"If you think that Elektra is trying to... pull anything, then put a stop to it."
"I mean, I was going to do that even if you didn't say anything." Rhea followed behind him once he started walking again, "But, I'd also like to point out that you should also be putting a stop to any of Elektra's shit."
"I know."
"But you're a man-" Rhea said overdramatically while covering her eyes with her arm, "And you can't handle the tempation of feminine-"
Matt shoved her with a huff, "Stop that."
"What?" Rhea laughed as she walked beside him, "Can't handle the truth?" She raised both of her hands as she walked in front of him, "I'm only joking. I swear." She winced with a hum, "Well, partially."
Matt just shook his head as they got into Elektra's building. Rhea took in the place. She could tell that Elektra was barely ever here due to how bare the decorating was. She even hated how there were so many windows.
"See?" Elektra broke the silence from the second story balcony, "You missed me, too."
"I think if he missed you, I wouldn't be here."
"On the contrary, Rhea." Elektra started to slowly make her way down the stairs, "I think you're here because he does miss me." She grinned at Rhea's irritated silence before directing her next question to Matt, "Did you have a nice dinner? Your date looked very pretty."
Matt chose to ignore what she said, "Elektra, I came here to ask you a question, and I'd like for you to answer it."
Rhea was watching Elektra, but tore her eyes away to give Matt a curious look. She figured he was going to ask why she was here in Hell's Kitchen, or maybe just ask her to leave at this point.
