Matt was lying in his bed, his hands running over braille letters in a book as the sound of clicking surfaced from his window.

Matt quickly listened, hearing the sound of your voice whisper from outside the window. He instantaneously had a smile grow on his face as he stood quickly from his bed, padding over to the door and locking it before he ran to the window, unlocking it and pulling it up.

"Hey there Murdock." You smiled as Matt peaked his head outside the window, wearing a large smile. "The nun posse asleep?" You questioned, making Matt chuckle.

"Yes everyone is asleep." He said, moving out of the way so you could slip through the window into his room. "But with how loud you where being out there I'm pretty sure you woke the entire neighborhood up." Matt chuckled. "Really? Swearing at a Catholic Orphanage?" He asked, pretending to be offended.

"Father, son, holy spirit, forgive me." You did the motion of the Catholic prayer jokingly. "There, all better."

You and Matt had been dating for about a year now. Even though you where young, you both knew you loved each other, and nobody could convince you otherwise. Call it puppy love, but you had known since you where young that soon or later you would end up with Matt Murdock.

Every night you would come visit-er-sneak in to see Matt at the orphanage. You would stay with him and talk for a bit about little things for hours, just enjoying the company of the other. Ever since you had gotten the acceptance letter to Columbia University, the majority of your conversation had revolved around your soon-to-be college life.

Tonight though was an especially exciting night. Tonight Matt turned eighteen, which meant he would finally be freed into the real world. Away from the orphanage for good, away from the Catholic guilt and shit, and into the real world.

"I thought you weren't gonna make it." Matt said as you plopped down on his bed, him following suit. "Your running pretty late." He said with a smirk, knowing his timely manner was always irritating to you.

"You forget this is also my birthday." You said as Matt wrapped his arms around you, "I had to pick up some stuff before I headed over."

"What kind of stuff?" Matt questioned suspiciously, making you reach into your bag with a smile.

"This." You said, placing the 'Birthday Grandma' crown on Matt's head. "They didn't have any more birthday boy ones and I figured you can't see it anyway." You shrugged. "So tonight your a birthday grandma."

Matt chuckled softly at your voice as he leaned back off his bed, reaching under it. "Well your not the only one who went all out." He said as he lifted the 'Birthday Bitch' crown from under his bed, making you laugh at the first sight of it.
