Can't say I'm upset to hear that.

[since, obviously, he has a bit of a vested interest in matt continuing to embrace these queer feelings]

So what do you want, then?

[it's a gentle question, where he tries to keep his voice level as to what he wants from it -- like hes genuinely curious about what matt wants]

[devilsavocado]

I want to be with you. And try... this.

[ I mean, Matt can tell Connor wants this too, that's always been an upside to his powers. But it's still complicated. Matt really doesn't think he's capable of having nice things. ]

Admittedly I'm not the best at relationships, though. Fair warning.

[ He kind of smirks, like it's a joke. But it's not. ]

[iustitiae]

Me either.

[his smile falls a little bit, because it's true. until oliver he'd never been in a relationship. not a real one. and the stuff with oliver...it wasn't always clear cut.]

[devilsavocado]

[ Ah, yeah. They're both carrying some baggage, huh... Matt's last serious relationship was with Elektra. 'Nuff said. ]

We can figure it out as we go?

[iustitiae]

That's what most people do anyway, right?

[wow is matt really agreeing to be his boyfriend incredible]

[devilsavocado]

Guess so, yeah.

[ He scoots on the couch, closer to Connor. He takes his hand in his, feeling his pulse and a million other tiny details. He wants to be sure. ]

It's not like, weird or anything, right?

[iustitiae]

[oh no he's taking his hand that's cute]

No - why would it be weird?

[devilsavocado]

Well, we're living together. I kind of feel bad that we've had this... thing going on between us for a while and I never said anything.

[ hello guilt, my name is matt murdock... ]

I should have said something sooner, Connor. I'm sorry.

[iustitiae]

These things are really complicated, it's never easy to know when to say something.

[devilsavocado]

Yeah, that's true. Still...

[ He sighs, but he squeezes his hand, smiling softly. Connor's always there for him, isn't he? ]

Thanks.

[iustitiae]

You really don't have to thank me for anything.

[what did he even do?? besides, he got a boyfriend out of this conversation so that's, like, better than thanks.]

[devilsavocado]

[ Matt would beg to differ, but okay. Keep being you, Connor. ]

Thanks for being so understanding, I mean.

[iustitiae]

That's just basic friendship skills.

[ones he has recently acquired]
