Tonight was a usual night for Foggy, Karen, Matt and (Name); a night out at Josie's for a few drinks. The bar was a bit busier than usual but the four didn't mind. They took their usual table and began chatting about their days while sipping on a few beers like always.
"So (Name)," Karen began. "How's the new job going for you?"
"It's great so far! There have been a lot of customers coming in since I was hired." She chuckled. "I'm surprised people still go to flower shops."
"Well I'll have to stop by one of these days and get some flowers for the office; it's so dull and colorless."
"Foggy, have you been lying to me?" Matt dramatically gasped. "You told me the place was flawless." They all laughed. Karen and Foggy began to chat about something random whilst Matt and (Name) were off in their own conversation. "So how has life been treating you? I haven't heard from you in a week."
"Sorry 'bout that, Matt. It's been a busy week for me." The (hair color) woman sighed and took another sip of her alcoholic beverage. "Everything is going smoothly for me, although the apartment manager is being a pain in the ass."
"Do you need me to kick some ass?"
"Nah, I don't need a vigilante to beat a landlord up." She smiled and Matt chuckled. "How have you been, Matt? Any new cases?"
"Yeah actually we do have a case for once. It's not a big one but we were happy to take it." Matthew smiled. "You know we miss you hanging around the office-"
"Matt missed you the most! Always going on about how much he misses your presence and your voice in the office. " Foggy cut in before returning back to the conversation he was having with Karen. She couldn't help a blush beginning to form on her cheeks. She quickly dismissed it at Foggy just being Foggy. It would be a lie if (Name) said she had no feelings of love towards Matt and the same goes to Matt; they were both crushing on each other.
"I...um...I'm going to go get another drink from the bar!" She quickly dismissed herself in hopes she can calm her blush before Matt could sense what was wrong; but he could already tell from the way your heartbeat quickened.
.(Second Person P.O.V.).
You let out a small sigh as you finished ordering another beer, finally calming down from what Foggy said. You missed hanging around the office and especially hanging around with Matthew but you didn't really know that Matt missed you the most. Maybe Foggy was teasing you since he knew about your feelings towards the blind lawyer, but you secretly hoped Matt actually did miss you. Josie quickly handed you another beer and you turned around to head back to your friends. A man with shaggy brown hair and light stubble blocked your path from them; a flirty smirk was plastered on his drunk, flushed face.
"Hey there, gorgeous." His words were slurred as he towered over you. "What's a pretty lil' thing doing by herself in a place like this?" He placed a hand on your upper arm.
"I'm with friends, thank you." You tried to push past him but his hand gripped tightly onto your arm; fear began to fill your eyes as you stared up to him. "L-Let me go!"
"Where you goin', baby? I just want a little fun with you." He chuckled and pulled you close to him. You struggled to get away from him but his grip was too strong. Your (eye color) eyes searched around frantically but you noticed no one was paying attention; panic was clear on your face. You felt him grope your behind which made you let out a quiet whimper.
.(Back to Third P.O.V.).
"Aw man, you should have said a flirty line or something!" Foggy sighed towards Matt.
"Foggy's right." Karen added. "If you truly love her, then tell her. I mean, you kick major ass but you can't ask her out?"
"Another reason why I can't. What if people use her to get to me? She would be hurt because of me." He sighed sadly and raked his hands through his hair.
"It's the same risk as her knowing as a friend could get her in danger, and some risks are worth taking, man. You just got to do it." Foggy reached across the table and patted Matt's shoulder. It was silent between them until Matthews head shot up; the familiar sound of (Name)'s rapid heartbeat. He focused al his senses on you. He could hear you struggling and man's gruff voice was clear as day and a sound that made him boil in rage; your small whimper.
"Matt?" Foggy asked with concern.
"(Name) is in trouble." Was all he said before quickly rushed towards the (eye color) eyed girl and the man harassing her. "Back off, asshole. She isn't interested in you." Matt practically growled; his fists to where his knuckles turned white.
"What do you know? Just back the fuck off before I have to beat you down, blind man." The drunk gruffly replied before turning back to (Name)>
"I said, leave her alone!" Matt swiftly grabbed the man's shoulder and turned him around. Murdock reached up and grabbed the drunk's collar, pulled him away from (Name), and brought his face in close. "She is mine you hear me? You can't touch her!" He whispered menacingly. And just like lightening, Matt slammed his fist into the asshole's jaw causing to fall on his back; Matt straddled the other. He heard gasps around him but he didn't care, he swung another hit to the drunks face. He landed another blow before Foggy pulled his blind friend off the drunk.
"(Name), take him outside; Karen and I will handle this asshat." She nodded and looped her arm with his and helped him out of the bar. His breath was slightly ragged as he paced back and forth.
"Matt?" He didn't reply back. "Matthew? Are you alright?" Nothing. "Matt! Say something." He then turned himself to face (Name). He started slowly walking towards her. "Please Matt, I'm already freaked out enough from what happened back in the-" She cut off by Matt smashing his lips onto hers; she almost instantly melted into the rough but passionate kiss. Her hands rested themselves onto his hips as the kiss deepened. They broke apart, still in the same position. (Name)'s heart beat erratic again from what happened; her cheeks were an obvious pink along with Matt's. He slowly removed his red tinted glasses so that she could see his honey-brown eyes; his hands now rested on (Name)'s hips as they stayed silent for one little moment.
"I've...been wanting to do that for a very long time." He breathed.
"I did too." They both let out light chuckles as the heat flowed out of their mouths from the cold night. "Thank you for helping me out there. I didn't know you were so protective, Matthew."
"I can get jealous and protective when people try to hurt the ones I love." He planted a soft kiss on her forehead. "I've loved you for a long time. I never got around to confessing because I was worried. Worried my night time activities would hurt you in anyway, some risks are worth taking."
"Hey! That was me who told you that!" Foggy laughed as he and Karen walked up to them. "Finally man, you confessed to (Name). Anyways, the douche bag is being taken care of but Josie doesn't want us back in for the night. Karen and I were thinking of going to another bar."
"I think (Name) and I will head back to my apartment." He suggested, (Name) nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I am a bit shaken up from what happened. I'll talk to you later guys." Foggy and Karen nodded understandingly. They both started walking as Matt and (Name) began heading towards his apartment hand-in-hand. "Hey, Matt?"
"Yes?"
"I love you too."
"And I will always protect you, (Name)." They both had smiles on their faces as the continued down the street.
