[part one]
It was almost crazy to think that just over a year ago, you thought your relationship with Matt Murdock was over for good.Â
When you had awoken that following morning by his side, head clear of the rage and lust induced haze you had been captured in, all that was lingering was a heart heavy with hurt and stinging with betrayal. You had silently collected all of your belongings, pressed one last kiss to Mattâs lips, and granted his peaceful sleeping form one final glance before leaving your spare key on his entry table and disappearing into the twilight.Â
All of his words still echoed in the back of your mind, but so did his actions. The promise of marriage was eclipsed by the cherry lip stain on his collar. The prospect of a family was diluted by the scent of an expensive perfume that didnât belong to you. The vow of faith and love was broken by yet another lie.Â
You loved Matt, more than you had ever loved anyone, and more than you ever thought you could love another person. You knew deep down that he was a good man. You tried to believe that he would never intentionally hurt you. But it had gotten to the point where you couldnât ignore the ache he left in your chest.Â
You needed time to try to forgive him. You werenât even sure if you could forgive him at all. The cut heâd made ran deep, and you couldnât decide if it was because heâd made it with her blade, or if it was simply his own that had been slicing away at the same spot over and over and over. Regardless, you needed time. Time away from him; to heal, to think, to decide.Â
But Matt Murdock had never been a man of patience.
For two endless weeks your phone constantly lit up with his name, filling up with messages containing apologies and desperate pleas. You started arriving early to work and left later than usual to throw him off your schedule. You had the receptionist bypass all his calls and made security aware that he was not welcome in your office. You ignored all the usual spots that he knew you frequented, and especially the ones you went to together. For the first time in over a year, you locked all your windows to ensure he couldnât slip through in the middle of the night. You blasted music through your headphones so you didnât have to hear the pain in his voice as he called out your name, fist banging away at your front door so hard you were certain he was going to actually break it down.Â
It was torture. Even though he had been the one to wrong you, a piece of you felt guilty. You could hear the terror and remorse in his voice when he stood outside your door, begging for forgiveness, chanting your name over and over as if you were the deity he worshiped and needed absolution from. It left a bitter taste in your mouth to be yet another person to turn your back on him, but through the wave of your sadness came the tide of anger, reminding you that he had done this. He had forced your hand. He made a choice, and you had to make yours.Â
The guilt from also having to ignore Karen and Foggy weighed heavily on your chest. They knew what had happened. You had just as many sympathetic voicemails and unanswered texts from them asking if you were okay, and if you wanted to talk. You hated not being able to lean on them when you were at your most vulnerable. They were your family just as much as Matt was, but you couldnât talk to them or be around them. They just reminded you of him. A huge part of you resented him for that, for making you feel like you couldnât go to the two other people you loved most in this world for comfort because of what he did. You had spent the past few years building your entire life around Matt, and he had selfishly sent it crashing to the ground, leaving you completely isolated beneath the debris.
For two long weeks, you felt trapped beneath a heavy blanket of depression you couldnât seem to find your way out from.Â
And then she happened.Â
How Elektra had managed to break into your apartment when Matt couldnât, you werenât sure, but the day you came home to find her in your living room with a bag of your things packed by her feet, you were stunned silent.
âI need you to come with me.â
âWhat? Why?â
âBecause Matthew is an idiot and heâs put you in danger. We need to go. Now.â
She didnât even give you a chance to hesitate, gripping your overnight bag into one hand, and forcing you out your door with the other. The ding of the elevator dropping you to the lobby seemed to wake you out of whatever trance she had put you in, and you stared at her in confusion as you stood firmly outside the metal doors.
âI donât understand. What are you doing here? Where are we going?â
âIâll explain when we get there. We need to move.â
âI donât-â
âListen. You donât know me. Youâve got no reason to trust me. But right now, I am trying to save your life. So if youâll please-â
âWhy?â
Elektra paused for a moment as she looked at you. The annoyance on her perfect features vanished slowly, taking in the pain and confusion that were clearly plastered on yours.Â
âBecause youâre important to Matthew, which means youâre important to me.â
Elektra filled you in on everything the moment she had secured you away in a penthouse uptown that was registered under an alias. What she and Matt thought were the Yakuza had ended up being a much older and sinister organization called The Hand. They were into some freaky cult shit that you didnât quite understand, but you got the gist that they were powerful, and extremely dangerous. They were also everywhere. They had tracked her and Matt, and a man named Stick that had trained the two of them, back to Mattâs apartment the night after the gala. They had been tracking him ever since, and because he had continuously been going to your office and apartment, they knew all about you.Â
She even told you the truth about how she had met Matt, and how it had all been a set up by Stick to bring him back to their side; to fight the war that he had been warning them both about.Â
âI donât know what Matthew has told you about me. Probably nothing good. But I need you to knowâŠI did love him. Thatâs why I left. I realizedâŠhe wasnât like us. He would never be like us. He was tooâŠgood. He didnât belong with Stick and I. I didnât want to be the one to put that light out inside of him. I didnât want anyone to. I didnât mean to cause any trouble between the two of you the night of the gala. I wasnât aware that he hadnât told you that I was in town, or what we were doing. I swear I was only trying to protect him.â
There was a glimmer of regret dancing along Elektraâs waterline, and you could see her own pain shadowing the faint smile on her lips.Â
âYou werenât the one that lied to me.â
Elektra blew out a breath as she took a seat in front of you, dragging her teeth along her bottom lip as she nodded.
âMatthew always has pure intentions. I know that. But for someone who is incredibly intelligent, heâs also a complete dumbass. He tries so hard to do the right thingâŠbut he doesnât stop to think about if heâs doing it the right way. Look I donâtâŠI donât know anything about the two of you, and Iâm not telling you what to do, but I can tell you that he is absolutely in love with you.â
âSoâŠyou didnât come back to New York for him?â
âFor his help, yes. To rekindle whatever we had, no. But for the record, even if I had, I wouldnât have stood a chance in Heaven or Hell against you.â
There was something oddly comforting about Elektraâs words and the timid smile on her lips. It eased some of the tension pent up in your body, and you felt a little lighter as you let a deep exhale out through your parted lips. Nibbling on your bottom lip, you glanced over at her as you anxiously twisted a ring around your index finger.
âIâŠthank you. YouâŠyou didnât have toâŠdo all of this. I hate to even ask anything of you when youâre already doing so much for me butâŠcan you justâŠnot tell Matt Iâm here? Iâm not ready to talk to him yet.â
Elektra flashed you a pitiful smile as she gave a slight nod of her head.
âOf course. Itâll be our little secret.â
It only took Matt three days to figure out that Elektra had been hiding you, and as he burst through the front door of her penthouse, he was absolutely incandescent.Â
âYou have got to be fucking kidding me. Youâll have a sleepover with her, but you wonât talk to me?â
âWatch your tone, Matthew.â
Elektra glared over at Matt, tightening her grip on the knife in her hand that was hovering over a cutting board filled with various ingredients.Â
Matt furiously tore off his glasses as he angrily pointed his finger in her direction, the top of his lip curling up into a menacing snarl.
âI donât want to hear shit from you after you-â
âI protected her because you led the Hand right to her. Youâre fucking welcome by the way.â
Elektra let out a deep angry exhale as she turned to face you with a sour pout on her lips. She gestured her head in Mattâs direction with a quirk of her brow.
âI can get rid of him if youâd like.â
âExcuse me?â
âI wasnât speaking to you, Matthew.â
Sighing heavily as you let go of the whisk in your hand, you pushed the large bowl of batter forward on the kitchen island and wiped your hands off on a small towel. Rubbing your hands over your tired eyes, you waved your hand dismissively towards Elektra.
âItâsâŠitâs fine, Ellie. Iâll deal with him.â
Elektra eyed you for a moment before shooting another glare in Mattâs direction. She dropped the knife onto the cutting board, wiping her hands off on the same towel before clasping them together loudly.
âRight, well, Iâll leave the knife out just in case. Remember the three main areas I taught you to stab. Iâll be upstairs if you need me.â
After you watched Elektra disappear upstairs into her bedroom, you turned around to face Matt. His eyes were absolutely wild with rage and his face was morphed into complete disbelief as he blanched at you.
âEllie? Since when the hell is she Ellie?â
âSince sheâs the only one around here that tells me the truth about what the fuck is going on.â
Matt clenched his fists at his sides as he stared blankly over at you, and you watched as a muscle feathered in his jaw.Â
âWhat did she tell you?â
âEverything you didnât.â
You could practically feel the anger radiating off of him in waves, but you had more of a right to be pissed off than he did. Matt shoved his hand into his pocket, producing a shiny silver object that he held out in front of him between his thumb and index finger.
âWhat is this?â
Crossing your arms over your chest, you arched one of your brows as you looked at him.
âA key.â
Your key.Â
Mattâs nostrils flared as he clenched his jaw, quickly crossing the distance between you to stand directly in front of you.
âDonât get smart with me. Do you have any idea how it felt to wake up that next morning and you were gone? All of you, your things, everything gone? And to find this on the table? Not even-â
âIâd imagine it was as shitty as you coming home covered in red lipstick and smelling like your ex lover's perfume. Or as shitty as finding out you lied about where you were and who you were with, and that you kissed her and lied about that too.â
Matt ran his hand through his hair quickly in annoyance before dragging it roughly down his jaw, shaking his head as he flung his arms up in the air with frustration.
âGoddamnit Y/N, we talked about that! We worked through it. Then you justâŠdisappeared and ignored me for weeks. You wonât return any of my calls, you wonât open the door, I canât even-â
âWe didnât talk about anything, Matt! You kept trying to justify your actions and completely ignored how I was feeling. We didnât work through anything. You manipulated me and we fucked. That is not working through it.â
Matt sighed with exasperation as he stared at you incredulously.Â
âI did not manipulate you. Fuck, I told you that I wanted to marry you and have a family witn you-â
âIn the middle of sex, Matthew! I donât know if you even meant that, or if it was a heat of the moment thing. And donât you dare say you didnât manipulate me. You took advantage of the fact that I was frustrated and that you hadnât touched me in weeks. You knew I would give into you. How do you think that makes me feel? That you completely ignored my feelings, manipulated me into sex for forgiveness, and filled my head with all those promises knowing that our relationship was in a bad spot. I canât trust a word that you say because you canât seem to stop lying to me.â
Mattâs anger evaporated the second he tasted the salt of your tears in the air. He hung his head between his shoulders in shame, shifting his weight from one foot to the other as the severity of your words nestled in the silence. Letting out a soft sigh, Mattâs tongue darted out to quickly wet his lips.
âYouâre right.â
His hazel eyes were more clear without the cloud of vexation, and you could see the way they glistened with regret. Mattâs plump lips fell into a frown, and guilt seemed to tug the rest of his features down like gravity.
âIâm sorry. I swore to you that I wouldnât lie after I told you the truth about me. I broke my promise to you, I betrayed your trust, and I disrespected our relationship. Iâm so sorry, sweetheart. I never, ever meant to hurt you. I didnât want you to get mad that I was working with Elektra. I didnât thinkâŠI wasnât thinking. I wasnât considering your feelings. I shouldnât have kissed her. I couldâve come up with another diversion. All of this couldâve been avoided ifâŠif I had just told you the truth.â
Matt let out a shaky breath as his blank eyes glanced upwards, closing for a moment as he clenched his fists by his sides. A stray tear slipped past his lashes when he opened his eyes again, slowly lowering himself onto his knees before you as he reached for one of your hands to hold.
âI have beenâŠabsolutely fucking miserable these past few weeks, and thatâs my own fault. I know that. I have hated not getting to feel your touch, or hear your voice, or be able to tell you how much I love you. I am so fucking sorry if I ever made you question how I feel about you, but Y/N I meant every word that night. You are the love of my life. You do belong with me. I do want to marry you and start a family. I swear to God, I will do whatever it takes to earn your trust back and your forgiveness. Just tell me what I have to do sweetheart, and Iâll do it.â
It broke your heart to see Matt look so distraught. It stung even more than he was on his knees begging for forgiveness instead of asking you to spend the rest of your lives together, but there was an undeniable conviction in his voice. It soothed the pang in your chest slightly to finally hear him acknowledge his fuck up, and apologize for it instead of getting defensive. Elektra had melted away the insecurity you had felt with her confession, and the frightened look that shattered Mattâs face showed you just how scared he was to lose you.
There was still a lot of work to be done on your relationship. It wasnât going to be fixed overnight, and Matt was going to have to put in a lot of effort to earn your trust back, and prove to you just how much your relationship mattered to him. But you were in love with him, and you knew there was no one else for you but him.
âYou can start by taking care of thisâŠâHandâ shit. Iâm not loving the fact that Iâm being hunted by zombie ninjas because of my idiot boyfriend.â
Mattâs ears instantly perked up, and a lopsided hopeful grin stretched across his lips.
âIâm still your boyfriend?â
âFor now. Youâre dangerously close to being replaced by Elektra, though. Sheâs always bluntly honest, and her bed is way nicer.â
You never in a million years thought that your boyfriendâs ex-girlfriend would fight just as hard as he would to keep you safe, but Elektra had. She protected you from The Hand just as fiercely as Matt did, nearly giving her life for you both, and now she was securing the last button on the back of your wedding dress and staring at you in the mirror with a knowing smirk.Â
The morning you slipped out of Mattâs apartment heartbroken and desolate seemed like a lifetime ago as you prepared yourself to meet him at the altar in just under an hour.Â
âWhatâs on your mind, little dove? Got cold feet?â
Elektra quirked one of her dark brows as she stared at your reflection with her signature smirk. Karen had left the two of you alone to go check on Matt and Foggy, and she was helping you with your finishing touches.Â
After helping save New York, Elektra had stuck around, and to both of your surprises, and certainly to Mattâs, you two had become very close. The more you got to know the more vulnerable side of her, the more you felt for her. She wasnât the villain that everyone had painted her out to be. She had been a scared little girl, manipulated with a promise of something resembling a family, only to be broken down and molded into something to orchestrate death and destruction instead. It wasnât unlike what Stick had done to Matt. As a matter of fact, it was worse.Â
âIf I said yes?â
Elektra hummed quietly as she moved your hair off your shoulder, leaning in to rest her chin on it as she wrapped you up in a hug from behind with a grin on her lips.Â
âEver been to Paris this time of year? Itâs beautiful. We could be at a private air strip before anyone even knew what happened. Matthew is fast, but he canât outrun a Maserati.â
A grin broke out across your lips as you giggled, squeezing onto Elektraâs arms when she winked. You had never been more sure of anything in your life than you were sure that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with Matt Murdock. Both of you knew that. But you also both knew he was eavesdropping just on the other side of the church, and it was incredibly easy to rile him up.
As if on cue, Foggy suddenly burst through the door and pointed a finger at Elektra with an expression of pure irritation on his face.Â
âWhatever youâre telling her, knock it off. Youâre scaring the shit out of him, and heâs already convinced enough as it is that she's not gonna walk down that aisle.â
âOh relax, Franklin. Girls got to have their fun, yeah? Besides, I thought they called him the man without fear.âÂ
Foggy rolled his eyes as he shut the door behind him, walking over to shoo Elektra away as he stood behind you and adjusted your veil down your back.
âYeah, until it comes to her. Go head to head with the Punisher who's notorious for using automatic weapons with sticks? Sure. Take on a weird cult of ninjas that canât die and like to use really sharp swords also only with sticks? Why not. Fuck it, letâs use every goddamn tall building in Hellâs Kitchen for parkour practice. But ask the woman Iâm ridiculously in love with to marry me and put up with my shit for the rest of our lives? Thatâs where the devil seems to tuck his tail between his legs.â
Matt had been an absolute nervous wreck the night he proposed to you. He had brought you to the same restaurant that he had taken you to for dinner on your first date, and was fidgety the whole time. Every time you asked if he was okay, he swore up and down that he was, and you figured there was just something overwhelming one or several of his senses. But then you noticed that despite it being mid November, he was sweating as you walked hand in hand through Central Park, and his hand kept nearly slipping from yours. Finally, you stopped and turned to face him, placing your hand on his chest to steady him.
âOkay, whatâs going on with you?â
âN-Nothing, Iâm fine. Letâs keep-â
âNo, you arenât. Youâve been acting strange all night. Youâve been anxious and fidgety, and now youâre sweating.â
âItâs hot-â
âItâs November, Matthew.â
Mattâs lips parted slightly as he went to protest, but nothing came out. He was usually good at coming up with excuses on the spot, but whatever was going on with him had seemed to completely take over his mind. A soft sigh slipped past your lips as he averted his gaze to the ground, watching as he clenched his fist by his side. You took a step forward to place your hands gently on his cheeks to cradle his face.
âMatty, please talk to me. Is something wrong?â
âNo, no nothingâŠnothing is wrong.â
âThen what is going on? Whatâs got you so worked up?â
âIâm not worked up-â
âMatthew.â
Matt let out a sigh of defeat hearing the tone in your voice, his tongue darting out to quickly wet his lips as he attempted to flash you a reassuring smile.
âCan we just keep walking please? Thereâs something I wanna show you.â
There was evident excitement in Mattâs voice, but it didnât resonate with you. The way he kept dodging your questions was beginning to put you in a sour mood, conjuring up a bitter taste of realization that he was on the cusp of breaking an oath he had sworn to keep. Dropping your hands quickly from his face, you shook your head in frustration as you turned around swiftly to walk ahead without him.
âYou promised me you wouldnât do this anymore.â
You only made it two steps forward before Matt blurted out a confession laced with full blown panic.
âIâm in love with you.â
Immediately pausing, you turned around to look at him in complete confusion.
âI know that, Matt.â
Matt let out a heavy exhale as he rushed forward and took your hand into his, scrunching up his nose as he shook his head quickly.
âNo, IâŠI meanâŠthat IâmâŠfuck, this isnât going right.â
Matt pinched the bridge of his nose as his lips pursed into a frown, and you eyed him curiously as you gave his hand a gentle squeeze.
âWhat isnât going right? What are you talking about?â
âWill you justâŠcome with me? Please? I really need to show you something.â
Mattâs face was twisted in what looked like agony, and the desperation in his voice made you nervous. You didnât think you had ever seen him look soâŠterrified, not even that night at Elektraâs when he thought you were going to leave him for good. You allowed Matt to guide you further through the park, venturing off down a path only he seemed to know, and stopping once you reached a gate that was covered in ivy. He pulled a key from his pocket to unlock it, and pushed it open with a slight creak, gesturing for you to enter first with a timid smile.
A shocked gasp flew past your lips as you stepped inside. It was an isolated garden, completely closed in by ivy covered walls, lit up only with various strings of white twinkle lights and the glow of the moon. To your delight, there were several plants and flowers in full bloom, and the whole scene looked like a vibrant painting you would hang on your wall.Â
âI hear this place is beautiful.â
Turning around to face Matt, you noticed that he had taken off his glasses, and was apprehensively turning them over in his hands over and over. The timid smile was still plastered on his lips, but his eyes were nearly blown open with distress.
âIâŠitâsâŠI donât even know how to describe it. HowâŠhow did you find this?â
âKaren did. Itâs technically private property owned by the city, but Brett owed me a favor.â
The puzzlement on your face only grew as you stared at Matt, a soft laugh leaving your lips as you gestured around.
âIs this why youâve been acting so weird? You didnât think Iâd like the surprise?â
Mattâs eyes darted back and forth blankly as he dragged his teeth along his bottom lip, swallowing thickly as he placed his glasses into his jacket pocket and took a few cautious steps forward.
âIâŠI hoped that youâd like it.â
âMatty, I love it. Itâs so beautiful. But you didnât have to be so nervous to show me this. You couldâve taken me to a random alley and I still wouldâve loved it.â
Matt let out a breathless laugh as he shook his head, clicking his tongue against the inside of his cheek as he smiled softly.
âThen it wouldnât have been special.â
A furrow formed between your brows as you looked at him, trying to decipher all the cryptic pieces he was laying in front of you.
âWhat wouldnât have?â
Matt was silent for a moment as he fixed his gaze on your face, tilting his head to the side ever so slightly as he studied you. Finally letting out a deep breath, he reached out to take one of your hands, brushing his thumb delicately over your knuckles as a slow smile spread over his lips.
âI told you, Iâm in love with you.â
âAnd Iâm in love with you, Matty.â
Matt took a step closer as he brought his other hand up to cradle your face, a tender smile on his lips as he rubbed his thumb soothingly over your cheek. You couldnât tell if it was the reflection of the lights in his eyes, but they looked glossy, almost as if he was about to cry, and it made you squeeze onto his hand tighter.
âYouâŠare the first person that has ever truly understood me. The first thatâs ever accepted and loved both sides of me. Youâve never shied away from one, or favored the other, or asked me to choose. You havenât given up on me, even when Iâve given you plenty of reasons to. You are the best part of my day. I canât tell you howâŠhow happy it makes me to know that when I come home at night, youâre there waiting for me. And no matter what kind of day Iâve had, or how rough of a night it was, itâŠit doesnât matter, because youâre there. You give me a reason to make it home. I canât tell you how much I love that I get to fall asleep holding you and listening to your heartbeat, and start every day hearing your voice and kissing your lips. I have never felt asâŠhappyâŠand light as I do with you. I want to spend the rest of my life feeling this way. I want to spend the rest of my life ending every night with you and starting every morning with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So-â
Matt let out a shaky breath as he slowly dropped his hand from your face and tightly held onto your hand. You were already in tears from Mattâs words before, but the moment he dropped down onto one knee before you, the floodgates opened and a choked sob caught in your throat as your other hand flew up to cover your mouth.
âY/N Y/L/N, will you marry me?â
âOh my God, MattyâŠyesâŠyes!â
Matt blew out a shaky breath of relief as he closed his eyes for a moment, the tension in his shoulders evaporating right in front of your eyes as he let his head drop. You couldnât help but laugh as you stared down at him in perplexity.
âDid you think I was going to say no?â
Matt rubbed his hand down his face to wipe away his own tears, letting out another breathless laugh and sniffling as he looked up at you with a goofy grin on his lips.
âFigured I had a fifty-fifty shot.â
Lips splitting into the biggest smile you had ever seen, Matt quickly rose to his feet and grabbed your face, capturing your mouth in a deep kiss as you gripped onto his jacket to hold him close. All of a sudden he quickly pulled away and shoved his hand down into his pocket.
âOh shit, uhâŠsorryâŠIâŠhere.â
Matt laughed nervously as he pulled a small velvet black box out of his pocket, opening it to reveal the ring inside. Your mouth fell open as a gasp escaped, and you gripped onto Mattâs forearm as fresh tears welled in your eyes.
âMattyâŠâ
âDoâŠdo you like it?â
âIâŠI love it. ItâsâŠitâs perfect. How did you-â
âI had some help.â
Glancing up at Matt through your teary eyes, you watched as a bashful smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. Pulling the ring from the box, Matt gently grabbed onto your wrist with a shaky hand, and carefully slipped the ring onto your finger. It fit absolutely perfectly, and you stared down at it in awe as it dazzled beneath the lights. You were overwhelmed with so many emotions, and you didnât know what to do other than grab Mattâs face and pull him down for a searing kiss.Â
The two of you gripped onto each other as if you were afraid the other might disappear if you loosened your grasp even the slightest. You were a flurry of lips and teeth, trying to devour the otherâs desire, consuming the taste of happiness together. Matt laid you down in the soft grass of the garden floor and made love to you right there, intertwining his hand with yours that wore the symbol of his love and promise to you.
A burst of laughter ripped through your chest at that memory of Mattâs nervousness as you covered your mouth, staring at Foggy knowingly in the reflection of the mirror. Elektraâs mouth split into a huge grin as she rolled her eyes, pressing a quick kiss to your temple and giving Foggyâs shoulder a squeeze on her way to the door.
âAlright, alright. Let me go do damage control. Iâll see you both out there. Oh, and Y/N, darling?â
You turned your head to look over at her as she paused in the doorway.
âYeah?â
A warm smile tugged at the corners of Elektraâs mouth as she stared over at you, leaning her head briefly against the door.Â
âYou are the most beautiful bride Iâve ever seen.â
You pursed your lips slightly as your face twisted up faintly into an expression of gratitude, returning her smile with one of your own.
âThank you, Ellie.â
Elektra flashed you a quick wink, closing the door behind her to leave you alone with Foggy.
âSheâs right, you know. You do look beautiful.â
A smirk tugged at the corner of your mouth as you looked at Foggy in the mirror, arching one of your brows quizzically.
âDid you just agree with her?â
âThat stays between us. This is a one time thing.â
Laughing softly, you turned around to pull Foggy into a tight hug, sighing in relaxation as his arms came around you to hold you securely to his chest. There didnât seem to be anything that a hug from Foggy Nelson couldnât fix. All of the pent up nerves seemed to dissipate from the warmth of his embrace, and you suddenly felt a million times lighter.
âThank you.â
âYou donât have anything to thank me for.â
âI have everything to thank you for.â
âWell in that case, I think Foggy would be a great name for your future kid.â
A deep laugh rumbled in his chest as you giggled, pulling back slightly to peer up at him with a grin.
âIâll put in a good word.â
After Foggy left you alone to go rejoin Matt and the others, you stared at your reflection in the mirror, smoothing your hands over your dress for the millionth time. A part of you was still in disbelief that today was the day you were marrying your best friend. Matt had sworn to not take the second chance you had given him for granted, and had been treating it as if it were sacred. He opened up to you about everything now, even the rough nights that plagued his thoughts, and the horrors he desperately wanted to protect you from. There wasnât a single thought or emotion he hid anymore, and heâd even gotten better about finding balance between each of his lives. That wasnât to say that you both didnât struggle from time to time still, but your relationship was the healthiest it had ever been.
A knock against the door tore you from your thoughts, and a smile quickly spread across your lips at the sight of the figure leaning against the doorway.
âHey big guy.â
Frankâs mouth split into a grin as he looked at you, giving a slight nod of his head in your direction.
âHey darlinâ.â
Turning away from the mirror to face him fully, you swallowed thickly as you smoothed your trembling hands down the sides of your dress and gestured to it.
âI look okay?â
Frank cocked his head to the side as he smirked, taking you in with his eyes as he took a few steps forward to stand in front of you.
âYou kiddinâ? Youâre gonna knock Red on his ass.â
You didnât hardly have any family outside of the chosen one you had made with Matt, Foggy, Karen, Elektra, and Frank. When youâd let it slip to him that you would be walking down the aisle alone, Frank instantly offered to be the one to walk you. He confessed that it would probably be the closest he would ever get to walking his own daughter down the aisle, and you graciously accepted without hesitation.Â
A smirk curled at the corner of your mouth as you let your eyes wander over his large figure, finally meeting his deep brown curious eyes.
âI donât think Iâve ever seen you soâŠâ
âDressed up, yeah yeah. Donât get used to it.â
âI was gonna say not covered in blood.â
Frank let out a deep chuckle as he shook his head slowly, looking down at you with a dazzling grin on his lips.
âFigured I could behave for a few days so I didnât mess up your pretty dress, yeah?â
âHow generous of you.â
As the processional music started to play, the nerves you felt earlier returned full force, and you gripped onto Frankâs arm tightly as the reality of the situation started to sink in. This was actually happening. Matt was waiting for you on the other side of these doors, and in just a few moments, he would finally be your husband. Tears started to form in the corners of your eyes as your emotions started to catch up with you, thinking about everything the two of you had gone through together, and how it had all led up to this moment. Frankâs lips brushed against your cheek as he bent down to whisper into your ear.
âYou say the word, and Iâll get you outta here. No questions asked, yeah?â
Gripping a little tighter onto his arm, you leaned into Frankâs embrace as a shaky breath left your lips.
âWhere would we go?â
âWherever you want, darlinâ. I could hide you places even he couldnât find.â
You swore you heard Matt groan loudly on the other side of the door, and you couldnât help but giggle as you dipped your head back to look up at Frank. Taking a deep breath in, you exhaled slowly through your parted lips and nodded with a soft smile.
âIâm ready.â
Frank gave a slight nod as he leaned in to kiss your forehead, dropping his left eye in a wink as he smiled.
âAttagirl.â
âFrankie?â
âYeah, sweetheart?â
âDonât let me fall, please.â
Frank wrapped his right arm tightly around your waist, holding onto your hand with his left one as he squeezed it gently.
âNever.â
»»âââăăâââ««
âAs absolutely beautiful as you are in this dress, itâs time for it to come off.â
âYou donât wanna leave it on?â
âIâd love to, sweetheart, but itâs kind of in my way. Besides, itâs so pretty, Iâd hate to ruin it with all the things I wanna do to you, Mrs. Murdock.â
A soft gasp left your lips as Matt gently sucked on that sensitive spot on your neck below your ear, and you could feel him grin against your skin when your heart skipped. He had taken every opportunity throughout the evening to call you that, or refer to you as his wife. Every time it hit your ears, a buzz of serotonin flooded your bloodstream and left you hazy.
âAnd what, exactly, is it that you wanna do to me, Mr. Murdock?â
Mattâs fingertips brushed lightly along the exposed skin of your bare back, causing a shudder to course through you while his nimble fingers delicately tugged the zipper of your dress agonizingly slow down your back. His stubble tickled against your cheek as he nuzzled your jaw, inhaling your scent deeply while leaving open mouthed kisses down the column of your neck.
âFuck a baby into you.â
Gripping tightly onto his suit jacket, you were suddenly taken back to that night over a year ago when heâd first made that promise, and his words from that night flowed through your ears.Â
Iâm gonna marry you someday, Y/N.
I will put a ring on your finger tomorrow.Â
I will put a baby in you tonight.
A fresh wave of mixed emotions glossed over your eyes, and Matt slowly pulled back to stare blankly down at your face with an expression of concern as he cradled your face in his hand.
âWhat is it, angel?â
âNothing. Itâs nothing.â
Matt tilted his head to the side slightly as his honey hazel eyes gazed down at you, tongue darting out to quickly wet his lips before they pulled into a timid smile.
âWas it the wedding you always wanted?â
Bringing your own hand up to cup Mattâs jaw, you pulled him in closer to touch your foreheads together as you whispered softly.
âOf course it was, Matty. You were the groom.â
Matt had been continuously asking you the same question all night, wanting to make sure you were absolutely happy with the biggest day of your lives. Honestly, it had been perfect. Karen had taken over as your unofficial wedding planner, and between her, Marci, and Elektra, youâd hardly had to lift a finger. Getting married in a church wasnât a huge deal for you since you werenât religious, but you knew how much it meant to Matt, and you offered to marry him in his church where his parents wouldâve married. It was small and intimate, exactly what you both wanted.
The second you stepped through the open doors with Frank, Matt immediately started to cry. You were only a second behind him as soon as you saw him, the two of you gripping onto each otherâs hands as Father Lantom led the ceremony, bringing everyone in attendance to tears as you exchanged your heartfelt vows. Matt had captured your lips in a deep kiss as soon as Father Lantom uttered his name, and he lightly smacked him over the back of the head with his bible to remind him that he was in church when the kiss started getting a little too heated for the house of God. Maggie had simply laughed, reminding Father Lantom that Matthew was indeed Jack Murdockâs son.
The reception was held at Josieâs where you had first met Matt over two years ago, courtesy of Karen. Foggy had drunkenly climbed onto the bar to deliver his best man speech which only drew further tears out of everyone from laughter by telling the most embarrassing story he could conjure about Matt from college, and also from the passionate gratitude he showered you in for making his best friend the happiest he had ever seen him.
Matt told me once he thought you were an angel created by God himself, and sent down from Heaven just for him, exactly when he needed you. I believe thatâs true. Thereâs no other explanation for how perfect you are for him. Thank you for bringing my brother the happiness heâs always deserved. I love you both.
Karen could hardly contain her own tears as she spoke fondly about you and Matt, bringing even Frank and Jessica to tears with her sweet words.
I knew the night you met Matt that you loved him. I could see it in your eyes. Thank you for loving him the way that you do. I canât tell you how happy it makes me as your best friend for you to end up with someone like Matt. Because I know he will take care of you, and protect you, and love you with everything heâs got, and I know youâll do the same for him. Iâm just so happy my two favorite people found each other.
âToday was the happiest day of my life. A day I never honestly thought would come, but Iâm so happy it did, and Iâm so happy it was with you. I wouldnât change anything about it. I meanâŠapart from everyone offering to help you runaway, but.â
A loud laugh slipped past your ears at the annoyed look on Mattâs face, countered by the smirk that was threatening to spill across his lips. You gently squeezed his cheeks to purse his lips into a pout, leaning in to kiss them softly.
âYou know they were joking.â
âNo, Frank and Elektra were serious. They were actually gonna smuggle you out.â
Giggling softly, you shook your head as you leaned in to press your lips against Mattâs softly once more.
âWell I didnât run, did I?â
Matt let out a deep exhale through his nose, shaking his head slowly as he pressed his forehead against yours.
âNo. Still not sure why you didnât.â
âThere was cake.â
Matt rolled his eyes as he pushed himself up above you, and you giggled uncontrollably as you grabbed onto his tie to pull him back down towards you.
âIâm kidding! You know someone has to keep the Devil in line.â
Matt clicked his tongue against his cheek, narrowing his eyes slightly as he cocked his head to the side and stared down at you with a light smirk.
âThat the only reason, then? Because youâre the only one that can?â
âI can think of a few more. Now, I thought you were helping me out of this dress?â
âI was.â
âThen be a good husband, Matthew, and help your wife.â
Mattâs eyes darkened considerably at the sultry tone of your voice, and a devilish grin took over his mouth as your beloved dimples settled in his inner cheeks. He was careful as he slipped the silk gown down your body, laying it carefully over the dresser before attacking your body with kisses once again. You frantically clawed at his jacket and dress shirt, blindly making quick work of his belt, already panting just from the idea of having your husband inside of you. There seemed to be a silent understanding between the two of you that neither of you had the patience for foreplay tonight, and all you both wanted in that moment was to be absolutely consumed by one another.Â
As Matt settled between your spread thighs, a wash of nerves made you shiver, and you found yourself placing your shaky palm on his chest over his heart to get his attention.
âMattyâŠdid youâŠare weâŠyou really want a baby with me? Right now?â
Matt tilted his head in confusion as he let his eyes blankly wander over you, placing his palm flat on the pillow by your head as he leaned in closer towards you. You and Matt had been talking more seriously about starting a family after you got engaged, and you stopped taking birth control a few months before the wedding to make sure it was fully out of your system for when you two were ready to actually start trying.
âOf course I do. Why? Did you change your mind?â
âNo! No no, itâs not that. I justâŠyou arenât going to miss it? I meanâŠthe city means so much to you, Matty, and-â
âHey, you mean the most to me. Youâre the love of my life, sweetheart.â
You wrapped your fingers around Mattâs wrist as he held your face, nibbling at your bottom lip as you let out a shaky breath.
âI know, baby. I justâŠI know how much you need that part of yourself-â
âNot anymore. All I need is you. Iâm still protecting the city, and the people in it, everyday. Iâm still helping people. But New York doesnât really need Daredevil anymore. It has people to protect it, like Luke and Jessica. And Colleen, Danny, even Frank and Elektra. You need me. And the one thing I care more about protecting and keeping safe is you, and our family.â
âI just donât want you to wake up one day and regret hanging up the suit, or feel any kind of resentment-â
âSweetheart, listen to me. I could never regret anything with you. How could I feel even an ounce of resentment when youâre offering to give me the greatest gift in the world that Iâll never be able to repay you for, hm?â
Matt carefully wiped a stray tear away from your eye as you reached up to gently grab onto the back of his neck, pulling him down so that his chest was flush to yours as you whispered softly.
âI just want to make you happy, Matty.â
âYou do, angel. Everyday. You are my happiness. Now, can I please make love to my wife?â
Matt took his time as he entered you, peppering kisses on every inch of your body he could find, moving his hips lazily as he fucked into you slowly to ensure you both felt everything. Interlacing your fingers together, he held your hands above your head and squeezed them tightly, repeatedly whispering into your ear how much he loved you, how beautiful and perfect you were for him, and how badly he wanted you to give him a baby. Matt pulled your legs tightly around his waist, angling your hips to reach the most delicious depths within you, spilling his seed into the deepest layer of your garden to plant the foundation for the family you both so desperately wanted together.Â
Neither of you could get enough, and Matt fucked you sweetly and slowly several more times into the early hours of the night until your bodies simply couldnât take anymore. He refused to withdraw himself from you, keeping his soft cock nestled within you, preventing any ounce of your future he had emptied into you from slipping out as he wrapped his arms around you from behind. Matt placed his palm over your lower belly, absentmindedly stroking his thumb in slow circles over the first home your child would have.
âI love you so much, angel.â
âI love you so much, Matty.â
Matt was here. Matt loved you. Matt was yours.
