Summary
“It seems to me that we’re in a bit of a…” Matt squirmed in a muted effort to free his arms, “sticky situation.”
“For fuck’s sake,” was Frank’s reply. They were currently back-to-back and covered in goop. It smelled distinctly of manure, and Matt was, of course, not a fan of manure. “Stop squirming, Red.”
Matt complied, stilling every muscle in his body.
No one spoke for about two minutes, but Matt was inclined to say he could hear the grinding gears in Frank’s brain as he, too, searched for a solution.
When no solution came, he resumed squirming.
“Jesus fuckin’--”

Summary
Matt didn't have time to process that he’d apparently been speaking without knowing it but also that Frank had picked him up bridal style and was walking toward a car like he was nothing.
Matt starting moving around, rotating his hips in an attempt to dislodge Frank’s hold.
Frank grabbed him tighter. “What happened in there?”
“In where?” Matt shot back accusatorily, having chosen the new strategy of swinging his arms in circles like helicopter blades. This was considerably less effective.
“In the -- the hell is this? What are you doing?”
Matt sighed dramatically, flinging his head back and crossing one leg over the other (Frank wasn’t holding him as tight as he thought, then). “Carry me, peasant.”

Summary
“You know,” Matt said, one arm linked easily through Frank’s, “there were probably so many better ways to approach this situation.”
“Shut the fuck up, Red,” he bit back. His muscles were tense as he glanced around the crowded area. “This wasn’t my idea.”
“No, but it was the only good idea,” Micro offered in their ears. Matt had half a mind to rip his comm out -- after all, he could hear via Frank’s earpiece.
Frank somehow sensed exactly where Matt’s head was going, as he quickly said, “No. Leave it. The comms are two-way, asshole.”
Matt huffed. “I didn't say anything.”
“No, but you were thinkin’ it.”
“How would you know?”
Frank shook his head. “Whatever, Red.”
“Would you two please stop arguing and just listen?”

Summary
But the singer… Matt knew him. He knew that heartbeat, and…
“Whaa?” he said to himself. That couldn’t be right. Normally he was great with identification, but this had to be wrong. It couldn’t be Frank Fucking Castle up there singing to some… panicky guy (who was also familiar, now that he thought about it, but this wasn’t his main concern at the moment).
He had to check. Matt had to know for sure.
Quietly, he made his way to the back of his current building so he’d be out of view once he jumped onto the one with MaybeFrank. The music had naturally drawled to its close, and the two men on the building weren’t saying anything.
Matt jumped on. Neither stirred.
In fact, Matt thought his stealth was at its peak until he heard a familiar gravelly voice say, “Try not to startle the kid, Red.”
The other man’s heart rate spiked as he turned to look at who Frank was talking to just in time to see Matt squawk with surprise and trip over his own two goddamn feet.

"Are you really the devil?" (nah, he's a human dumbass) by raggedyred

Summary
Both of them knew the building was about to collapse.
Both of them had looked at each other aware of exactly what was going down in the other person’s mind:
'I have to protect him.'
This meant attacking each other, of course, so they would be the one on top and covering the other as everything went down.
Unfortunately for Frank, he didn't get the chance seeing as, before Matt could execute his plan to swipe at the knees, a piece of debris landed on Frank's head and instantly knocked him out.
“Oh, shit,” said Matt.

Summary
“Can you, uh… sense where to -- I dunno, pick the lock?”
Matt frowned and shook his head. Upon remembering that Frank probably couldn’t see him very well, said, “No. It can’t open from the inside.”
“Shit,” Frank muttered. Then he tried shifting back, a bit further from Matt. At the newfound predicament, Frank was suddenly less comfortable. And…
Oh. Matt’s face broke into a shit-eating grin. Frank didn't comment on it because he couldn’t see it, and thus he had no idea the Matt was planning something.
Matt let the silence rest for a couple seconds. Then, “You know, Frank -- normally you would’ve at least suggested we kick in the door by now.”
Frank wasn’t entirely sure how Matt’s senses worked -- he’d never asked, and Matt never explained. So he probably didn't realize Matt could sense the heat pooling on Frank’s face and… elsewhere. “I wasn’t thinkin’,” he shot back defensively, shifting a bit. “‘Sides, we don’t have much room in here.”
“No,” Matt said slowly, “we don’t.”

Summary
“So, Red -- numbers?”
“Too many to count properly,” Red replied.
“Great,” Frank said. “Got a plan?”
“A plan?”
Bulls bumped Red’s shoulder, smirking. “You know. Thinking ahead on what to do once we find ourselves in this situation. A plan.”
Red looked head-on at Bulls, the red eyes from the mask somehow exemplifying his annoyance. “I know what that means. I’m just surprised that we were assuming I had a plan.”
Bulls released a small huff of laughter. “Heh. Ass-uming--”
“Why the fuck did I agree to work with you two?” Frank snapped. His tone -- the low and menacing he usually reserved for the people he killed (and which often made them piss themselves) -- only made the pair of assholes he’d teamed up with smile broadly.
“Dunno,” they both said.

Summary
Frank grumbled under his breath.
He was sitting across from Matt, legs splayed out in front of him as he stared off to the side.
Matt clapped his hands together. Frank’s heart jumped at the sudden noise, but all he did was roll his eyes. “The fuck was that, Red?”
“We’ve been in here for four hours,” Matt said, keeping his tone light.
“Don’t sound so fuckin’ cheery about it.”
“Oh, I’m not. Unlike you, I have this thing called a day job.”
“Really? What do you do? Bag groceries?”
“Hey,” Matt shot back. “Of course not. I’m the cashier.”

Summary
Matthew Murdock liked to believe he was a reasonably intelligent human being.
Sometimes, things happened that made him doubt this stance. One such instance involved his recent (albeit, reluctant) partnership with the Punisher. He liked Frank, he really did, but the guy was a pain in the ass on a good day.
Even still, they’d struck up a deal that was mutually beneficial. No guns allowed, and no killing.
(By mutually beneficial, Matt more meant “beneficial for Matt and Matt alone”)

Summary
Dex blinked, obviously confused. “Oh. I assumed Matt…” He glanced just beyond Frank, into the room. “I thought you two told each other everything, y’know.”
Frank kept the gun steady. What did he know about Matt? “The hell are you talking about?”
Dex dropped his hands, shoving them into his pockets as he leaned back onto his heels. “I’m Bullseye,” he said, his tone suggesting that he was very impatient that Frank wasn’t caught up yet.
But. Oh. Oh.
Bullseye.
No wonder the kid was so fucking cocky.
Frank shoved the gun into the back of his jeans. “Daredevil’s latest partner. So why the fuck are you talking to me?”
Dex blinked slowly, mouth forming one of those ‘this-idiot’ smiles that should only have been reserved for dumbass children and not Frank. “Are you kidd-- you’re Matt’s boyfriend.”
Frank's heart did a flip. "What."

David smirked. “At least he hasn’t drunkenly confessed that he’s hopelessly in love with--” He stopped. His heart immediately threw itself at his throat. He put his hands together. “Oh, shit. I shouldn’t have said that.”
Foggy frowned. “No, no, no-- wait. Because Matt… did the same thing to me.”
David blinked. “Are you serious?”
“Are our…” Foggy reached his hands back, running them through his hair before interlacing them behind his head, “are our vigilante best friends in love with each other?”
“Oh my God,” said David.
“Oh my God,” said Foggy.
A few moments of silence passed.
David cleared his throat. “Well, what kind of friends would we be--”
“If we didn't set them up with each other?” Foggy grinned conspiratorially. David decided that he definitely liked this guy. “I mean, we gotta.”
So the planning began.

Summary
They were still acting weird once Matt got them a block away. The substance seemed contained to the warehouse, so this… wasn’t ideal. Their heart rates were still high, they were starting to sweat…
He sighed, muttering a quick, “Behave,” before pulling out his phone and pressing Brett Mahoney’s number. He offered a brief rundown, warning about the chemicals in the air, before hanging up and putting it away.
Matt returned his focus to the other two.
Dex had stepped closer to Frank at some point, using all two inches of height he had on the other man to smile down deviously. Frank was watching him closely, a soft growl escaping his throat.
The body language and scent was telling. Matt tried to keep the defensiveness from his tone as he offered, “Guys?”
This really wasn’t ideal.
He was also pretty sure it wasn’t normal, seeing as Frank would definitely have inflicted damage upon Dex’s person by this point.

Summary
Matt hated fear above all other things.
He hated the feel of it. He hated the way it made his actions jaunty. He hated the way it made his chest ache. He hated the way it forced him to hesitate, to wait, to risk one more person’s life.
He didn't trust his body anymore. He didn't trust his own mind.
He was beating out his fear on the streets, earning more bruises and broken bones than ever before.
Matt barely knew who he was. When he woke in the confines of his former orphanage, he didn't even recognize his name; not as Father Lanton said it to him over and over.
When he ran out, he still hadn’t remembered his last one.
So he was in the streets dressed in black, all traces of his former self boiling down to a monosyllabic identifier -- one he wasn’t sure he identified with anymore. People called him the Devil. It felt more right than the former.

Summary
As soon as they were in, Foggy took inventory of Frank. “Matt, you just found the prettiest Belgian Malinois I have ever seen in my life.”
Frank looked up at Matt.
“Uh, actually--”
“Oh, yeah -- you probably don’t know what they look like.”
“No, but--”
“Imagine a German Shepherd, except kinda slimmer and with more dark fur, especially around the face. They’re adorable.”
“Great, but--”
Foggy crouched to be eye-level with Frank. Frank blinked. “He seems nice,” said Foggy before abruptly gathering Frank in his arms and standing up, Frank’s not-so-small dog-self being held like a baby as Foggy cooed. Both Matt and Frank were frozen. Luckily, Frank hadn’t attacked Foggy, perhaps too shocked to do so. “So what’s the story here? Did he just start following you? He seemed attached to your hip there. What’s his name?”
“Uh… Frank?”
Foggy sighed and shot Matt a look that Matt was certain was disapproving. “Please don’t name this newly-acquired sweetheart after the Punisher.”
“That’s… not what I’m doing.”

The man shrugged. “That’s why we all shoot on my count. Both o’ ya will be dead.”
“Are you fuckin’ stupid?” Frank shot out, turning to face the man speaking. Matt made a disgruntled noise and turned with him so both their backs wouldn’t be turned to the other side. “If you all shoot, some of the bullets will hit your own guys. You’re in a fuckin’ circle, for fuck’s sake.”
“That’s what I said!” Jeff yelled. “We don’t wanna kill each other!”
“Yeah,” Matt chimed in, “why isn’t Jeff your leader? He knows what’s up.”
Jeff’s chest puffed out in pride. “I’ve gotta agree with the Devil on this one."

“You’ve been happier recently,” Maggie said, apropos nothing. She didn't even look up from the bandages that she was wrapping around Matt’s wrist in precise lines, blotting the cloth with blood.
Matt frowned and angled his head up. “What makes you say that?”

“I will admit that I saw this going differently,” Matt offered dryly. He could feel Frank shift behind him, his heart hammering with the poignant noise of annoyance.
“Ya think, Red?” he shot back, his tone venomous. It was obvious he was trying to find a weak point in the ropes they were currently tied up in, but Frank wasn’t very useful blindfolded.

Summary
What few mercs were here were now gone, nevertheless. Frank and Matt were working in tandem to get the civilians out; out because the building was getting blown up; out because they were inside as it was collapsing.
Matt was panicking. It was familiar, horribly so, a series of bubbles popping within him, startling him, shaking his resolve.
“How many more, Red?” Frank growled out as they rushed side-by-side deeper into the building.
“Four. They’re not moving, I-- they may be stuck.”

Summary
Matt released a stream of curses that no doubt would have even impressed his father as he gripped the siding rail of the ice rink. His legs kept bowing out beneath him, and he was currently struggling to make his feet stop moving atop the ice, wanting to finally stand still and regain some semblance of balance again. He was half-tempted to just sit on the railing itself and perch there, safe from the ice below.
Frank chuckled next to him, his own arm still hooked through Matt’s. “It’s gonna take some practice before you get used to it, Red,” he said, his voice lilted in a way that meant he was smiling.
Matt glowered at Frank, ignoring the amusement curdling within his chest. He couldn’t believe he’d agreed to this, but it so happened that Frank was quite convincing even when he didn’t mean to be. “I’m used to it,” he defended. “I’m just… adjusting.”

“Oh, God. Oh, God!" Matt said. “I’m dying!"
“You aren’t dying,” Frank said, perhaps for the hundredth time. At this point, it was rather hopeless, but he still found himself repeating that adage despite the fact Matt would only continue making such proclamations within five minutes.
“Oh? Oh, I’m not? Oh, good. Oh, God. I was so worried. Thanks. Thank you, Frank. Oh, no.”
