Me And The Devil (Matt Murdock x Black!OC)-COMPLETED

Next Steps

June 13-Hell's Kitchen, New York

You and Matt walked hand in hand into the restaurant. It was warm and cozy, unlike the New York street.

"Over here!" Foggy waved to you.

You walked over to the table and embraced all of your friends. You pulled out a chair for Matt before you sat down yourself.

"Sorry we're late. We lost track of time."

"They were screwing." Frank whispered to Karen.

"I heard that." Matt said.

"I bet you did."

"This place is packed." You said, taking a sip of your water.

"And it's reservation only." Shani informed you.

"How'd you get us in?"

"Lucky for us, I'm friends with the manager."

"I thought you dated the manager?" Karen asked.

"Is that why he was making googly eyes at you?" Foggy turned to his girlfriend.

"Don't worry. I only have googly eyes for you."

"Someone shoot me." You sighed.

"I'm just glad our schedules aligned." Matt chimed in.

"Seriously." Frank responded.

"In that note, I wanna raise a toast." She lifted her glass. "To this amazing group of people who I do not get to see as often as I'd like to. I am so proud to call you guys my family."

"Aw, Karen!" Shani squealed. "You're gonna make me cry!"

"I love you guys." You gave the group a soft smile before raising your glass too. "To my favorite people."

Everyone joined you in raising their glasses in the air.

"So, I heard a little rumor that you guys are moving in together." Matt said.

"The rumor is true." Foggy nodded. "We're taking the next step." He grabbed her hand and kissed it.

Your heart melted for your friends. "Congrats, guys." You gave them a grin. Of course, you were happy for them, but it made you think about if you and Matt would ever take the next step. It had been less than a year, so you weren't in any rush. But it still made you think.

"Enough chit chat." Frank interrupted. "Let's order."

The warm summer air wrapped around you as you jumped to another rooftop. You landed and stood on the edge, listening for any negative sound.

"Slow night?" Matt asked as he landed behind you.

You turned around and smiled softly. "Too slow. I guess that's a good thing though."

"You okay?"

"Yeah. Fine. Why?"

"You've been quiet since we got back from the restaurant."

"Just tired."

"Tess."

You rolled your eyes. "I don't even know why I keep trying." You sighed. "I was just thinking about Shani and Foggy."

"What about them?"

"I don't know." You crossed your arms and shrugged. "They're taking the next step."

"And?"

"And...we're not. Which is totally fine. I'm not in a rush or anything. I just think about it sometimes."

He walked closer, placing his hand on your hip. "You think about what?" He teased.

"Fuck you." You smirked. "You really gonna make me say it?"

"Say what? I'm not sure what you're talking about."

"Fine." You said with an eye roll. "Sometimes I sit around and I think, 'when is this motherfucker gonna pop the question already?' And I just wait and wait and wait. I know it's soon, but I don't really care. I love you, and I wanna marry you."

He smirked and leaned in to kiss you softly. The sound of late night traffic filled your ears, but it was all silences when his lips were on yours.

"Keep waiting." He whispered against your lips.

"What?"

"It's coming. Keep waiting for me."

"What? When?"

"I don't knew yet."

"You don't know?"

"Not yet. But when I do, you will be the first to know."

"But-"

"Hold on." He pulled away. "I hear something."

"What?"

"Break in two blocks from here."

"So much for a slow night." You groaned. "I got it."

"I heard it first. I'll take it."

"Wanna race?"

He tilted his head and thought for a moment "You're on."

"You better not let me win."

"Oh, I wouldn't dream of it."
