The IRS is coming for you (Matt Murdock x Reader)

NOTE:
He looks so sassy in that picture
------------------------------------------------

        Normally Matt was confident in his ability to make small talk but the moment he had knocked on your Aunt's door all that confidence disappeared. 

The door was still closed when he picked up two heartbeats, immediately recognizing yours. The door opened and he noticed a third male presence at the door. He heard the voice of Tony Stark as the door opened, which explained why he only heard three hearts. 

"You must be Matthew. Graduated from Columbia university with a degree in law, worked for Landman and Zack, one of the founders of Nelson, Murdock, and Page where you still work."

Matt gave a small smile as he tried not to seem nervous, "I see you did your homework. "

Tony let out a laugh as your voice resonated from inside the apartment, "Tony, at least let him enter the apartment before you start terrorizing him. "

Hearing your voice calmed Matt's nerves as Tony moved to the side so Matt could enter the threshold. He's met with your hand being placed over his and a kiss being placed on his cheek. 

Taking Matt to the table you explained how Peter was going to be a little late due to some school stuff but how he seemed excited to meet Matt. 

Matt could hear your aunt whisking around in the kitchen, he had met her once at an event you had invited Matt to. She was sweet and had hugged him immediately after you introduced him, stating how he seemed like such a nice boy from what you told her. 

The smell of coffee hit Matt's senses as May came out from the kitchen with two mugs of coffee, "Hi Matt, Would you like something to drink sweetheart? "

Shaking his head Matt thanks her but declines the coffee, content with water. The chair across from him scraped against the floor as Tony pulled it out and plopped down in a heap as he basically chugged a cup of coffee. 

You take a seat next to Matt and May sits across from you, blowing on the coffee which causes the strong smell to fill Matt's senses. May makes polite conversation until the front door opens and Matt senses a younger boy enter the apartment. 

"May? (Y/N)? I'm back from Ned's."

It takes a second for him to enter and walk around the wall to see the four of you at the table. You stand and give the boy a hug as you welcome him home. 

"Hey! You remember Matt right? He's staying for dinner. "

Matt could feel the look of confusion come upon the boy's face as he tried to remember him. In truth they had only met in passing but there had been a few run-ins while doing they're superhero work. 

Peter says hello and sticks his hand out to shake Matt's hand but then realizes his mistake and apologizes. Matt laughs it off stating how there's no harm done. 

You pull up another chair for Peter as he quickly goes into his room to put things away. As Peter sits down he straightens his posture and places his hand atop the table. 

"So Matt, How did you and my sister meet? "

Giving Peter a dirty look you placed your hand on Matt's.

 Matt chuckles and fixes his glasses, "We met in my office. (Y/N) had come in with a friend who needed some legal help and we just struck up a conversation. A week later she asked me on a date and it went from there. "

Peter hums and nods his head, "Have you had other girlfriends? "

At this question you kicked Peter in the shin which led to Peter letting out a hiss of pain and Aunt May saying your name in an attempt to decrease the hostility. 

"I was in this weird space with someone else once but she didn't want anything and I wasn't looking to be strung along. "

Saying nothing Peter sits up and clears his throat, "Would you ever cheat on my sister? "

Matt says nothing as you start yelling at Peter, Tony and May still trying to diffuse the situation as Matt stands up and goes to the bathroom. 

Locking the door, he takes a seat on the side of the tub. He listens as you call Peter a dweeb then the sound of a chair hitting the floor and finally your footsteps coming down the hallway and towards the bathroom. 

Knocking on the door your voice softens, "Matt? Can I please come in? "

Using his cane he pushes the lock enough where he hears the small click of the mechanisms and the sound of the door opening. The door clicks shut and a second click sounds as you press the lock. 

You get onto your knees and take his hands in yours as you repeatedly apologize. Matt lets out a soft laugh as he places a kiss on one of your hands.

"It's alright love. You have no control over these things and it's natural for them to be skeptical of me. "

Shaking your head, your thumbs instinctively rub against Matt's calloused palms. 

"I should have stopped him while he was ahead. He knows how serious I am about this relationship and he thinks he can take the role of protector. "

Matt lets out a sigh and shakes his head as he stands, "It's normal to be protective after everything that's happened to you two. I'll be fine but you should talk to him. "

You give out a hum of agreement as you stand up, the two of you sharing a kiss before you leave the bathroom and Matt heads to the table to talk with May as you go towards Peter's bedroom where you heard him stomp to earlier. 

Knocking on the door there's a faint come in and you open the door. Peter is lying on his bed as you enter the room. 

Letting out an awkward hey Peter sits up and puts his head in his hands. You close the door as you take a seat next to him on the bed. 

"So how's Ned? "

Peter lets out a chuckle at the awkward question, "He's fine. He's trying to build a sand crawler even though we just finished the death stare. "

Nodding your head you laugh as Peter seems to loosen up. The two of you sit in silence for a while before Peter mutters an apology. 

"What? "

Sighing Peter speaks louder, "I'm sorry for saying those things. It wasn't right of me to try and protect you even though I'm younger. "

You pull Peter into a hug and let out a sigh, "Thanks butt face. It means a lot to me. "

Sitting there for a Peter groans and you let go, both agreeing that was enough physical affection for today and leave the room. 

Matt and May are discussing some sort of documentary on planting while Tony is playing angry birds on his phone. 

The two of you take a seat as Tony puts down the phone, "Finally, So you two better not be bumping uglies or else I will have the IRS on your ass. "

Your face flushes red as Matt tries not to laugh, "SWEET JESUS TONY. "
