Honestly, the entire thing sounds made up as shit. It sounds like something you would find in a comic book, not something your boyfriend reveals about his childhood. But Tim believes it. Its too farfetched for Matt to be lying.
There's no more secrets. No more lies. He has to trust that Matt will adhere to that.
He listens, trailing his thumb over Matt's wrist in an idle, soothing manner. Over the knob of bone on the side, over the thin veins in the inside, over the spot where his pulse thumps steady and even.
Matt's life is nothing like Tim imagined. He's not just the well mannered lawyer or the tight jawed boxer. He's the blind vigilante with a past that lingers and haunts. One that's rough and unfair and too much for a kid to handle. Tim can relate, at least a little bit. There are more sides to Matt Murdock than he thought, and he wants to learn about all of them.
"No more secrets," he murmurs in agreement. "Sounds like a piece of work. I'll be sure to keep am eye out for a cranky old dude named Stick."
