This Ain't No Choir

Just maybe

Karen arrived a while later after Foggy had happily sat down on the couch. He had went home and gotten changed into more comfortable clothes, a nice warm jacket and comfortable pants plus a beanie. Ah the college days. Foggy would think.

Matt had gotten changed into a black T-shirt and his sweatpants and he padded back into the living room with a towel drying his still wet hair, "You seem happy." He chuckled letting the towel rest around his neck, he walked over to sit on the couch across from Foggy with a groan. His body still hurt, he ached in places he didn't think we're possible and the idea alone made him flustered and cringe.

"That my friend you are correct, but it's something you'll have to wait for."

Matt gave a friendly smile that said alright then, plastered on his face. There was a sudden knock to the door after, it was soft and calm determined knock againts the wooden door. As he was about to stand up again Foggy stopped him, "Hey it's ok I'll get it." Getting up from the couch and walking over to the door to greet none other than Karen with a warm smile and friendly hug the two walked back inside the door closing with a thump and click that no one else would hear besides Matt.

"Matt." Karen greeted him walking into the living area and stopping in front of Matt well near him and Foggy heading to the kitchen part of the room , she was smiling nervously and Matt could hear her soft heartbeat quicken even now even when they weren't a thing any more or what ever you could have consider them a 'thing' as he could still hear her heart quicken by the word of his name leaving her lips.

Maybe it was just how she always was but to Matt he could know the sudden change in the atmosphere. He gave her a forced smile to show he was ok that smile he always gave when he was worried or in pain and just forcing it for his friends with a simple I'm fine or am I'm ok, "Hey." He greeted back. It got silent and awkward before Foggy broke it, "Come on guy's! Let's not kill this mood with silence, Karen brought food and we can all eat and catch up." Foggy was smiling, he could tell by the way the two were just staring well almost the two, at each other there was still awkwardness and things that hadn't been resolved hadn't been talked about, Foggy didn't want to pry on this he just hoped that tonight would be just them and no talk about crime fighting, lawyer stuff or criminals just the good ol them, the trio.

Karen face flushed as she nervously put a strand of hair behind her ear and was holding a white plastic bag of Chinese take out food, "Right, I uh didn't know what you guys liked so I um," She laughed a bit flustered and nervous, there was the Karen that Matt remembered. "I brought different kinds of them..if that's ok with you two?" At this Foggy beamed, "Yeah, of course! Here let me help you." He walked over to Karen who in return walked with him to the kitchen part of the room and he helped her set the food on the counter taking the boxes of food out and that's how the night began to go.

Karen, Foggy and Matt later in the night they all managed to start forgetting the mishaps and unfortunate events that had happend, everything was ok now though, they had to be. Fisk was behind bars, they weren't exactly at the best work of terms but now they were together in Matt's place eating food while laughing at one of Foggy's ridiculous chinanagens from his childhood, about how him and his brother used to fight as babies over the silliest things or how his family still baited him on joining the family tradition of selling meat and they laughed together whilst eating, Matt's mouth shoved with noodles as he and Foggy recalled there days in college. Karen had shared some stories but they weren't all too personal she never went into depths like that, Matt neither. There childhoods hadn't been so lucky and Foggy understood that at some level but he keept the mood light and hearty.

"We were walking and me and Foggy always had this joke after college what was it?- it was-" Matt was chuckling and Foggy finished his sentence laughing as his hand landed on Matt's back softly with laughter, "Avacodas at law."
"Yeah that's the one, Avacados at law." They laughed, "I told him it was Avogados but he said Avacados." Karen laughed with them, "You never corrected him?" She covered her mouth trying to stifle the laugh, it was soft sort of a giggle, "I tride, it just stuck." Foggy rolled his eye's as he grabbed his glass of water and started drinking it. Matt and Karen where still at it slowly the laughter dying down. Karen sat besides Matt to his left and Foggy across from him, the room fell silent as she moved her hand towards Matt's lips and swiped away a smudge of Chinese hot sauce Matt hadn't realized was there and he froze at the sudden contact. "Sorry i- you had a smudge." She felt stupid, so stupid she couldn't believe she had just done that her hand moved away fast to her lap. Foggy drank his water he hadn't known he was keeping in his mouth, he stood up and excused himself to the bathroom leaving Karen and Matt in private.
