Not only was she a similar age, but insanely attractive. She must’ve gotten a job between her college classes, it seemed like a reasonable assumption. “Hey there boys, how can I help you today?” a young woman with a fair complexion and a well kept composure met their table. He wasn’t used to people leading him, but it felt pleasant. At first, Matt was shocked at this gesture. “M'lady, three steps to the right,” he offered, grabbing Matt’s arm to sit him down. Or if he wanted to.Īs they approached the cafe, Foggy swung the glass door open, extending his hand out to point the way even though he knew Matt wouldn’t see it. He wondered if he’d ever experience it as Foggy had. However, all the other children weren’t necessarily his friends and they didn’t feel like family either. The closest he’d ever had to Christmas-or extended family for that matter, was the covent and the small holiday celebrations the nuns would organize. He made it sound like it was the best thing ever, and maybe it was. We get really creative, even last year, Allen gave me a Santa hat with two leg holes,” Foggy proudly announced. “Wha- what if it’s, like, a thong?” Matt breathed out, wiping a tear from his eye using one hand. Matt was more disturbed than anything, but laughed nonetheless. The victim then had to wear it on their head and announce their gratitude until all of the presents were unwrapped. Apparently, every family member was given a pair of underwear, some of which were very strange. Matthew broke his sessile face and began smiling and shaking his head perhaps this wouldn’t be so bad after all.įoggy finished recalling the tale of his family’s Christmas underwear tradition. Some neighboring roommate on the floor yelled for him to shut up, gaining an even higher note in response. Foggy dramatically swung the door open, and began belching a Christmas song-despite the holiday being a matter of months away. “Sure,” Matt stood, grabbing his cane and a comfy jacket. C’mon, it’ll be fun!” Fog enthusiastically chirped, over-pronouncing each syllable along with a large amount of volume. They have the best smoothies, oh- and you can finally put your wonderful Maverick skills to the test. “Wanna go out for lunch? There’s this place a bit down the road, apparently everyone’s going to it.

However, he was also a magnet for poor hygiene and accidents-both of which Murdock was less than inclined to. Foggy was clearly a good person, and he tried his best to be inclusive and kind. “ What?” he replied, not wanting to sound nearly as agitated. Matt jerked back, yanking out his buds and putting the device down. “Hey Matt,” he cleared his throat and gently shook his roomie's shoulder. And thus, he decided lunch out would be a fair place to start.įoggy approached Matt, noticing his earphones, and taking a mental note to be subtle. He knew that in order to stop the relationship from moving further downhill, he’d have to spend more time with Matt and do actual friend-stuff. This was obvious, especially in any schooling institution, he hardly had a true friend before. It didn’t help their relationship that Foggy constantly forgot about Matt’s blindness, continuously creating gestures and expecting a reaction, and even throwing a drink in his direction. This allowed for seemingly minuscule errs to hammer at him, and Foggy was entirely unaware of this fact.įoggy had however noticed the growing discomfort in Matt, and he even took to vacuuming the floors-a feat he’d rather exercise before completing. An open bag of nacho chips lay half opened, creating an unbearable reek that wafted up to the roof before being redistributed by the fan. Fog had taken to that lifestyle for the first night or so before his clothing and stationary began finding crooks and crannies throughout the miniature dorm. Matt kept to himself, his belongings were neatly placed on his side of the room, it was distinctly pristine with a place for every minute belonging. Foggy thought he’d broken the tension with his vision of their ‘wingmen’ escapades, gathering luscious ladies into their folds, but alas, Matt seemed hardly interested in that scene. Fog had been beyond surprised at the revelation-that his roomie was an insanely good-looking blind man, with a childhood hero complex. Three days since Foggy had officially met his roommate, Matt Murdock.

Ohhh fill me up buttercup
