One on Ones discussion

.

Matthew Murdock wasn't a regular guy. He never had been. Matt was an expert martial artist, he had an IQ that was off the charts, he could walk tightropes thin as a thread and listen to one's heartbeat from across a subway station. And he was blind.
He couldn't see color or photographs and it hurt him not to be able to see what his kids looked like... He couldn't see his boyfriend Michael either. Matt had seen him once before, but that was a special incident that requires more explaination than I care to give.
The suit he was wearing was more formal than usual. The college had hosted an event and he had participated... And now he was headed home, back to the apartment and Mike and the kids.
He hardly saw Renne anymore, although she often stopped by when he was gone to see the boys. Now that she had given up trying to raise them single.
He stepped off the bus and onto the sidewalk gracefully, using his cane to tap along the sidewalk until he reached his destination.

Mike was happily playing his son Ty why Justin was of playing with toys. " Ty... you know your dad's love you ever much right?" He said messing with his red hair. " He obliviously got that from his father... nothing from him. With another light sigh. He plopped Ty who was the clingy one, on the counter and began to make dinner for the four of them.

Another problem with being blind was the key issue. He didn't have many keys, but enough to confuse him something awful. Usually he felt the ridges and placed them by memory, but today he was just too tired. He played with several different keys severel different times before one finally fit and opened up for him.
Matt came in and dropped his heavy bag onto the couch with a loud squeak of springs. They needed a new couch... It was on the list of things to do when they had money. "Hey?"

( I'll be Justin you can be Ty.. and there both 7 :P)

" Daddy." Justin said happily as he rushed over from his toys to give his father a hug and cuddle into him deeply. Michael smiled and called back. " Hey Hun, sorry dinner isn't ready, but the boys wanted mac and cheese tonight so i told them they could."

((Sounds good!))

Matt shrugged with a smile and took his jacket off around Justin. "That's fine. I had a late lunch." He called, then crouched down to hug his kid back. "Hey bug," he said, letting out a breath as he picked him up. "How's it going?"

Ty swung his little legs off the edge of the counter happily and watched as the mac and chesse bubbled in the pot like something living. He was identical to his brother with the exception that he wore thick glasses, which was the number one way to tell the two apart. "Who's dat?" Plus he had a little bit of speech problem.

" Whose what little guy." He asked curiously as he kissed him on the head. God he loved his kids, and would love them till the day he died. Mike was now free to listen considering the pasta was boiling and the cheese was melting in the microwave.

" I'm not a bug daddy." Justin fought back, but of course adorably like he usual did with his freckled face and cute dimples.

"But you're small like a bug..." Matt tilted his head to the side in consideration. He had never seen Justin's freckles. He had only seen him as a baby, and babies don't have freckles. "And you have those little antennae things on your head... I'm a lawyer J, I can keep this up." He smirked and gave the little boy a loving kiss on the cheek. "I'm pretty sure you have six legs too..."

"At da door." Ty grabbed his cup of juice and drank some with a loud sucking noise.

Justin huffed a bit and mange to scramble a bit to make his way on to his daddies lap. " I do not have antennas or six legs dad, I have two legs and two arms." He said hugging his dad to prove it.

" Oh it's just daddy, he went to a thing for college but now he's home... so how was your day hun...you any closer to passing the bar?" Mike asked curiously picking up Ty in his arms and carrying him over to Matt.

"Oh fine then. I see." Matt hugged him back warmly. "You win you little... Miscreant." His face turned up as Michael came in and he smiled a little. That quiet, charmingly shadowed smile he had. "My day was good... Everyone there loves me... I think I'm a novelty." A blind lawyer in his very early twenties. No kidding he was a novelty.

Ty frowned, still clutching his juice. "What's da bar?"

" The Bar is the test daddy needs to past so he can become a lawyer." Mike explained checking the pot and stirring it, still holding Ty securely in his arm, never letting loose for a second. " And that's great babe, soon will be on easy street."

Justin held on to his dad not wanting to let go either.

Matt lifted Justin off of him, but only for a moment. Then he picked him up again and hefted the little boy easily onto his back for a ride so he had his arms free. He walked up next to Michael and gave him a kiss on the cheek before reaching over to grab a glass from the counter. "How was your day?" He asked, filling it with milk from the fridge; keeping his son on his back the entire time.

Ty grinned toothily at Matt as he passed and made a swipe at Justin when he was close enough; managing a sloppy seven year old high five.

" Great... I might be looking at assistant manager at the construction site promotion coming up if I keep on the path i'm on." Mike said messing with Ty's hair again.

Ty batted his father's hand away and cuddled into his shoulder instead.

Matt blinked and waited to reponse as he finished his milk. "Really?" He said, setting his glass down and running a hand through his hair. "That's great Mike... Good job." He kissed him again.

Mike couldnt help but smile back proudly as he kissed Matt deep. " Thanks babe... i've given up Heatwave for good, cause as long as I got you and the boys, I don't need anything else." He said happily as he kissed his son on the head and went back to making dinner.

Matt swelled a little and he hugged Michael close and tight for a minute. "I knew you could do it." He murmured into his black hair. "I knew it." Then he let go and walked over back to the table, setting Justin down carefully.

Ty was frowning in thought. "Hey," he tugged on Michael's sleeve. "Kiss me like daddy." He puckered his lips as an experiment. Why did Michael kiss his father differently than him?

Michael laughed a bit and saw no harm in it. Somebody had to be the mom around here. So he picked up Ty and kissed him on the lips before setting him down.

Ty instantly began rubbing his mouth clean of germs. "Ew. No more." He said with a gross face and then retreated to his own little chair in the corner.

Matt snorted laugh and took his glasses off. He knew his eyes kind of frightened the twins at first, but he was trying to acclimatize them to the sight. It hurt him a little to know he scared them, or weirded them out. "Those kinds of kisses don't work very well on kids." He informed them factually.

" Well I know but dont worry they'll get used to it... I mean I am there mom basically." He said with a shrug as he we went of to hug Ty.

"Yeah, you're their mom... With the lack of breasts and bonus of a di..." He stopped himself and his mouth twisted into a deep smirk.

Ty's eyes grew wide and he clinged onto Michael. "He said da B werd." He whispered.

Michael couldn't help but smirk as well. " And you'll be getting some of that D tonight.."Beforing pulling back. " It's alright Ty.. Daddy will only say it once cause he knows he doesn't need those anymore."

Matt put a hand over his heart and shook his head. "They will never be thought of nor meantioned again."

Ty nodded skeptically. "Okay..."

" They better not be." Mike said slyly as he kissed Matt again but returning to dinner.

Matt rubbed his eyes and kissed him back, sitting back in his chair tiredly. "No... I got over that a while ago..." He paused. "About eight years ago to be specific." The time he met Michael.

" Good... cause in my opinion, D is so much better than B." He said with a giggle as he slumped next to Matt and cuddled with him.

Matt nodded and wrapped his arms around Michael, pulling him even closer. "Very much so." He said through a yawn and gave him another kiss. It felt good to come back to his home and be loved like this. God knew he had fought for it.

Mike couldnt help but cuddle so deep you could only see his hair

Matt smirked and a small bubble of a laugh escaped him as he hugged Michael, playing with what was exposed of his hair. "Jesus Michael... I don't know how I survive all alone in college without you..."

" You could take me as you're homecoming date." He suggested still burying his face.

"Mm," Matt pretended to consider it. "I don't know Mike... There's this guy at school... Dan is his name... He already asked me out."

Mike blinked a bit then smiled. " Oh... is he hot?"

Matt grinned and shrugged, waving vaguely at his eyes. "Can't really tell." He said, then kissed the top of his head. "But I'm kidding. I wouldn't even have brought it up if we hadn't been on topic. I said no thanks; I have my own sexy boyfriend at home waiting for me."

" Awww I love you two Matt." Mike said lovingly as he wrapped his arms around his strong musclar waist. " So you won't mind bringing me?"

"Of course not..." Matt made a confused face. "Why would I? You're the love of my life... Of course I'll bring you. I want everyone to meet you."

Mike couldn't help but melt. " Oh Mike... I love you so much... we just need a baby sister for our little redheads."

Matt thought about it for a moment. "I could... Ask Renne?" He said after a moment.

Mike's smile died for a moment. " Oh... I don't think she.. likes me very much." He said with a saddend voice.

Matt scoffed and shook his head. "Why do you think I dumped her?" He raised an eyebrow. "But that doesn't matter... You won't be around her very much. Unless you're uncomfortable with it..."

" I don't think we should." He said honestly. " Maybe... we could hire..... um... i'm not sure."

Matt sighed a little, but wasn't going to force him. "I could get one of my friend's kids to babysit? I'm sure someone would... You know how money hungry teenagers are."

mike nodded a bit. " Alright... but..." He grabbed Ty and held him close. " They have to be great with kids."

Ty latched onto him like a love leech and dug his face into his side.

Matt nodded and ran his fingers down Ty's back. "Yeah... I'm sure they'll be fine... It'll only be for one night."

" I don't care." Mike said defensibly. " They have to be good with kids."

Matt grinned and nodded. "Alright, I agree - "

Ty looked up at the two. "Whatcha talkng about?"

" Well daddy has a dance in college he's gonna take me for the night and were gonna hire a babysitter for you and Justin."

Ty frowned in the adorable way he had."A babysitteh?" He said cautiously.

" It's someone that'll come over and wacth you guys... don't worry we promise to find a great baby sitter."

Ty seemed to have a difficulty wrapping his mind around this. "Someone... Where's daddy going?" He gripped Michael's sweat with a panicky look on his face.

Mike couldnt help but aww at this. " Daddy has a college dance he's going to take mommy too... and were gonna stay in a hotel that night."

"Mph." Ty stuck his lip out. "Oh. Will... Will babysitteh tuck me in?"
