Matthew Murdock x Reader

Living a normal life

You're a very normal girl. Well, besides the fact that you're father is an Avenger. You spend most of your time at the compound, sometimes going on missions.

"Y/N! Where are you?" Your dad calls from downstairs. "Our company is coming soon!"
You roll your eyes. The avengers had recently gotten into some legal troubles. They had to hire a lawyer. You were about to meet them today.

You pull on a low hanging grey sweater and race downstairs. You plop down in a kitchen chair and start eating from the platter that has been prepared for tonight. "Hey! Save that for tonight! We need to make a good first impression!" Stephen says as he swats your hand away.

You roll your eyes. "I mean, they're lawyers. They're probably glad just to have human interaction" Your dad laughs. "As much as that's probably true, they're really helping us out. And they're cheap too." "We're avengers. Why do we need cheap lawyers?" You ask. Stephen laughs. "You greatly overestimate our pay."

~a half hour later~

You're playing Mariokart with Peter when you hear the compound door open. Three people step through; a man, a very pretty blonde woman, and- whoah. In the doorway stands the most attractive man you have ever seen. He's tall, around six feet. He has fluffy brown hair and deep brown eyes, covered by circular red glasses. He's wearing a smile warm enough you make you melt. You stand there, gaping, for at least five seconds. You suddenly realize you're staring, mouth open, so you quickly fix your posture and pretend like nothing happened. Pretend like you didn't just experience love at first sight.

"This was very gracious to invite us here" the stunning man says to your dad. "Yeah, no problem." You walk up to them to introduce yourself. The other man immediately hold his hand out and smiles. "Hi! I'm Foggy. Foggy Nelson." You shake his hand. "I'm Y/N Strange." He has a very friendly energy about him. The type that makes you smile just from a handshake. The blonde girl holds out her hand next. "I'm Karen Page! I'm the secretary at Nelson and Murdock." You turn to the last person in your doorway. You stare at him for a second before realizing he has his hand out. "Oh, sorry" you say as you shake his hand. "It's fine." He laughs. "I'm Matthew Murdock." He smiles warmly and places his other hand on top of yours. You immediately blush. Peter, who's also introducing himself, noticed. He's always had a crush on you. You're clueless though and never realized.

You sit in the living room with your guests, talking. Wanda and Vision are cooking in the kitchen. "Sorry the food wasn't ready yet. Wanda likes it to be perfect." Stephen says. "Oh it's quite alright." Matthew says. You nearly melt at the sound of his voice. Deep, with a hint of softness in it. And his lips. Perfect, pink, lips. All you can think about is how much you want to feel them on yours. Matthew feels you staring. He turns his head to you and you immediately turn away, your face turning red. He chuckles underneath his breath.

~dinner~

The dinner is incredible. Wanda did an amazing job. Clint, Natasha, Steve, Sam, Bucky, Carol, Kate, Thor, and Bruce also joined you guys. You're seated right in between Matthew and Peter. Stephen and Foggy end up talking business so you just sit there, playing with your food. "I bet you're tired of all these meetings." Matthew says to you. You suddenly forget how to breathe. You clear your throat. "Oh, yeah. They're alright. It's too bad my dad does a lot of the business stuff." "Even I get bored of these talks" You laugh. You can't help but look him. Look at his perfect features.

"Y/N?" Stephen says. "Y/N?!" You realize you were zoning out. "Yeah?" You ask. "It's already 10:00. You've got a job interview tomorrow. You should be going to bed soon." Embarrassing. Your father telling you into your bedtime. And in front of Matthew too! "Job interview?" Matthew asks. "Where are you applying?" "Well, I'm trying to get a teaching position at the local high school. I heard it's pretty competitive, though." You respond. "I bet you'll do great." You smile. "We should be going anyways." Matthew says. Your heart drops. You don't want him to go. Not now. Not ever. "I'll be seeing you soon." Matthew says. You feel like that should be directed towards your father and the other avengers but he looks directly at you when he says it. "Yeah, hopefully." You respond. NO. That didn't sound too desperate did it? He just smiles though, and walks out the door with his colleagues.

"I think they're great. They're a small firm but new. They've been fairly successful so far." Stephen says. "Yeah, Y/N wouldn't know too much about they're business, she was too busy staring at that lawyer the whole night." Kate says. She winks at me. My face immediately gets red. Stephen raises an eyebrow. "Did I choose the wrong firm? You know the rules. And you cant be getting distracted. Not now." Of course just makes you get even more red. "Yeah, of course. I don't know what Kates talking about. He's just a lawyer to me." You walk upstairs to your room.

You throw yourself onto your bed, your eyes already filling with tears. Who were you kidding? Even if he did like you back, it would never work. You can't be getting distracted. Especially now that your allowed to go on missions. No Avenger is allowed to date outside of the team. All it does is potentially endanger them. And that's the last thing you would want to do to Matthew. That's doesn't mean you can't pretend. Imagine.
