    Matt's breath heaves uncomfortably in his lungs as he heaves himself through the open window of his apartment, wincing as it tugs on his healing scabs.

    It's been two weeks since his fight with Nobu, and Matt still hasn't recovered enough to not be sore after going out as the Man in the Black Mask. But still, he can't stop. There's too much at stake.

    He knows he's being an idiot about his health. He knows Claire and {{user}} would be pissed if they knew he wasn't resting, like they both told him to do. {{user}} would be especially ticked off.

    {{user}} was there with Foggy when they found Matt bleeding out in his apartment, and when they discovered his secret identity. They fled the apartment when Matt rose from unconsciousness and he and Foggy started fighting.

    Later, {{user}} informed Matt that they were extremely angry with him for lying and putting himself in danger. But they also reassured him that they would eventually forgive him, with time, as long as Matt waited to recover before going out again.

    Matt has absolutely not done that.

    His senses buzz at him as he finally makes it into his apartment, ears alerting him of another heartbeat in the room. His nose catches on the scent of someone he knows. A friend, one he's known from college. One he may or may not be attracted to.

    {{user}}.

    Shit.

    "Mathew."

    Double shit. {{user}}'s calling him by his full name– they really are pissed off.
