Blind Love

Chapter 3: Jealousy

3rd person POV:

After a successful day of working, that being only having one client, and mostly filling in pointless paper work for Matt and Foggy. Today was the best day of your life.
You sit on the couch of your tiny apartment, it was small, but enough for you. It always smelt like vanilla and coffee, reminding you of back home in England.

You pick up your phone and see a notification:
Matt:
You did good today Y/N. Coffee tomorrow? Same time?
Me:
Sounds great! Can't wait :)
_____________________________

Days pass, just spent at work, for the rest of the week it was just you and Foggy throwing paper aeroplanes at each other whilst Matt and Karen  do paper work for pointless stuff that they'd chuck away anyway.
You didn't get many clients so you and Foggy like to keep each other occupied during the time playing silly games that Matt gets fed up with.
Karen would sometimes join in, taking your side making Foggy jealous because Matt obviously can't play. You and Foggy sometimes flirt back and fourth, and you can tell when Matt gets tense over it, is he jealous?

Today was one of those days.
Foggy was quickly folding a paper aeroplane when suddenly you go "Hey Foggy! Think fast!"
Foggy's head pops up from his desk just high enough to clock him between the eyes with the paper aeroplane. "Ouch! Dude! You could give me a paper cut if you keep throwing that hard" Foggy moans whilst rubbing the top of his nose.
"Aww little Foggy gonna cry?" You say sarcastically asks whilst faking a frown.

"Okay I clock out, you are mean!" Foggy strops, leaving you laughing.
"Hey Y/N hasn't been to Josie's yet, and it's a Friday, care for some drinks Y/N?" Matt asks, "josies?" You ask.
"Yeah it's a bar we go to, I did suggest to Matt that we'd take you when you first got here but he said iT WaS tOo eARly, apparently" foggy says mockingly pointing his head towards Matt.

"Drinks actually sound great, I could do with one after I beat your ass" You say winking at Foggy. "Okay fine, but I bet I can stay awake longer than you after shots at the bar"
"Is that so? You clearly don't know me Mr Nelson"
"Ohhh this is gonna be good" Karen says rubbing her hands together and chuckling.
________________________________

There are nicer bars you can be in right now but Foggy and Matt talk about this place like it's his home and you appreciate that.

Many many many shots in, you're buzzing, you and Karen are dancing to the music whilst Foggy and Matt play pool.
"Okay a girl needs a wee! I swear these shots are going straight through me. Karen care to freshen up in the bathroom with me?" You ask loudly over the music. "Of course lets go".

"Matt I still don't know how you find girls like that, gorgeous ones I mean, like seriously, Y/N is gorgeous." Foggy says pointing the stick at the ball on the table.
"I don't know either, I can't see Foggy" he says chuckling with his hands on his hips.

"Do you like her Foggy?"
"Well I mean-"
Matt interrupts, "I mean like-like her, the way you speak to her, I've heard you flirt with girls but Y/N, you treat her differently"

"Seriously Matt? I-I I don't know what to say to you, what do you want me to say? Fine yes. I do. You're jealous aren't you?"
"No-no I'm not jealous... well." Matt stutters, thinking what to say.
"Well? You had Karen but you screwed that up! Is that what you're gonna do with Y/N? Use her too?" Foggy shouts dropping the stick.
"I didn't use Karen, Foggy! What are you talking about? Me and Karen both agreed it wouldn't work"
"I know why it didn't work out Matt, you push people away, ever since The Punisher case, you've been pushing us all away, why?"

Ignoring what Foggy asked he put down the pool stick, Matt walks over to the corner of the room and grabs his cane, starting to leave the bar.
"Seriously Matt? We can't even talk??" He shouts as Matt walks away.
As you and Karen are in the bathroom you hear the commotion you go back into the bar to see Foggy slumped over the pool table with his head in his hands and Matt leaving.
"Woah Foggy what happened?" Karen asks. "Go ask Matt" he says rolling his eyes, "I'll go speak to Matt" you say, Karen nods whilst rubbing her hand over Foggy's back.

You leave the bar to see Matt walking down the street, "Matt wait! Matt!" You shout, over the streaming of rain, it's cold, but you don't care.

You run up to Matt, put your hand on his shoulder and turn him to face you. "What happened Matt?"
"Me and Foggy has a fight" he says, his hand whipping over his face to get rid of the rain water.
"Over what? We could hear you guys shouting from the bathroom, please" you ask squeezing his shoulder.

"Over you....". Your breath hitched, your heart feels like it's going to fly out of your chest, over me? Why? I'm so confused. You think to yourself.
"Uhm.. over me? Do-do you-?"
Before you could finish Matt interrupts, "I like you, and I think Foggy does too. I won't get in the way of you two if you like him as well, because all I do is-"
Before you let him finish, you pull him in for a kiss, for a second he hesitated but then you both sink into it. Your heart is racing.
Matt softy grabs you by the chin as you both kiss. Is this what I've been waiting for?

Matt trails a finger up you're rain soaked arm and pulls away from the kiss, "you're freezing, please take my coat", he says as he takes it off.
You try to catch your breath but before you can say anything Matt places the coat around you, instantly warming you up, he smells earthly, like Birchwood. It's comforting.
"Thank you Matt"

Authors note:
