Childhood Sweetheart

[moosejuice]

THE CHILDHOOD ѕωєєтнєαят MEME Ahhh, young love. Whether it's precious or bittersweet, it's something that stays with you. Remember that time...? Of course you do. Both of you thought you'd last forever. Or maybe you were too young to know what that meant. All that mattered was that you were kids and you were together. But time and circumstance tears even the best of friends and young lovers apart. That person, your childhood crush, your first love, is just a memory. Now, you're being given a second chance. Will it be painful? Will you confess everything and try to win their affection again? You've been reunited, and it's up to you what happens. HOW TO ① Comment with your character. You can state preferences and such in your subject. ② Characters who comment will be their childhood sweetheart/first love. The muns can figure out how that works, but when in doubt, just wing it. It's a meme. Fun is the goal here. ③ KISS AND REUNITE. Or argue and storm off. Or cry. Or laugh. Or sex. Whatever is appropriate.

"To be fair, I didn't know that's what married people did... I just thought you had to be married to live together." He gives an embarrassed little laugh because honestly, he was a naive child.

... He's a bit of a naive adult too.

He pours Matt's tea first, setting the cup in front of him. "Honey?"

[trustinthedevil]

"- Sorry, for a second I thought you had already given me a pet name." Matt laughs, loud and relaxed. "Just a bit. I'm a little sensitive to too much sweetness."

[dannyrand]

It's probably good that Matt can't see how red that makes his ears, heat creeping into his cheeks as he goes back over to the pantry to pull out the little plastic bear. "oh no... just--"

He adds a small amount to Matt's tea, just enough to take the sharp bitter edge away from the gunpowder green.

[trustinthedevil]

"I was teasing. Sorry."

He gives Danny a playful nudge, then picks up his mug. Matt smells it before taking a cautious sip. "Mm, perfect."

[dannyrand]

It was a good sort of teasing though, something that catches him off guard, because for a moment he was afraid he was coming off too affectionate. But then again, he isn't really sure how this whole thing works.

He's a little afraid of going too fast, but at the same time he really wants to catch up.

[trustinthedevil]

For his part, Matt's not really sure what he wants to get out of this, either. The kissing had been sort of a spontaneous desire, but ... Well, he doesn't want to get ahead of himself. He'll try and just leave things up to fate.

"So, what are you doing when you're not drowning in work?"

[dannyrand]

It takes a second for his brain to tick over, because he can't exactly tell his friend that he's moonlighting as a vigilant.

"I uh... volunteer a little, and I run a martial arts studio back in Harlem."

[trustinthedevil]

"Yeah?" Somehow Matt isn't surprised. Well, he's not surprised about the volunteering, but the martial arts bit catches him off guard.

"Maybe one day you'll let me fight you. Boxing versus kung fu." Even though Matt knows more than just boxing. It's more feasible for a blind guy to know how to box than how to round house kick. "I promise I'll go easy on you."

[dannyrand]

Danny just laughs, soft and good natured. "Will you? I'm glad." He'll let Matt have this one, like he would expect a blind boxer to be much of a challange.

[trustinthedevil]

"But only the first time. After that, I'm not holding punches." He nudges Danny and sips at his tea. "Fighting is in the Murdock blood."

[dannyrand]

"I know, I used to watch your Dad's fights." Danny sips his own tea, smiling against the rim of the delicate cup.

[trustinthedevil]

"I remember your parents got mad that you were watching fighting. They said it was too violent for you." Matt smiles, too, though. "I don't think it did either of us any harm, right?"

[dannyrand]

"Hypocritical since it turns out my Dad was a fighter." He snort, setting his cup down, moving closer because he wants to be close, seeking out Matt's shoulder to rest against casually.

[trustinthedevil]

"Well, you were eight, and there was a lot of blood."

Matt laughs, setting his own tea aside. He leans against Danny in turn.

[dannyrand]

He wants to say that it shouldn't have mattered, that they didn't care about anything else, but that would make him sound a little bitter. And he isn't, not really, he loved his parents... for what they were.

He leans in close, pressing his nose against Matt's temple. It's nice to get to be close to another person, novel as it is.

[trustinthedevil]

"Mm, hello."

Matt wraps an arm loosely around Danny's waist, more than content to just stand like this. After a moment, he sighs relucantly. "I should probably get home."

[dannyrand]

He can't help the soft sound of protest that escapes him, but he lets go just the same. Equally reluctant.

"I guess we can't stay up as late as we want." He tries for teasing. "I can call you a car..."

[trustinthedevil]

"You don't need to. I'll be fine. Really."

He smoothes a hand reassuringly over Danny's arm and presses a kiss to his cheek. "I'll talk to you soon?"

[dannyrand]

"I hope so. Don't avoid me for so long." He accepts the kiss to his cheek, then turns his head to kiss him properly. It was supposed to be soft and sweet, but instead, he finds himself curling his fingers at the nape of Matt's neck, pulling him in. He tastes sweet, like tea and icecream.

[trustinthedevil]

It doesn't really encourage Matt to leave. He does let out a bit of surprised sound, which gets lost between them as he kisses Danny in turn. His hands rest on Danny's hips, so if he wanted to he could nudge Danny away. But he doesn't want to, not really.

[dannyrand]

"Or you could stay." He murmurs against his mouth, fingers slipping down from his neck, over his shoulder so he could toy with Matt's tie. "We don't have to do anything, just--" His ears burn a little. "Pretend it's like those sleep overs we used to have."

[trustinthedevil]

"We could do this a bit," Matt says. Which is his way of agreeing even though he knows better. And being wrapped around Danny, kissing, is going to lead to some awkward bodily responses. But Matt can deal with that as it happens.

"Mm, I don't have any pyjamas."

[dannyrand]

"I have extras." He just wants a little longer, it's kind of nice to have someone else around, someone who knows him... or at least about as much as as Danny will let someone know him.

Danny backs up against the counter, using Matt's tie to pull him in again for another kiss-- he's already getting much better, but he's a fast learner.
