"i didn't mean to-"

summary: College Matt meets Allie Adams, an awkward girl, and even though when they first meet its awkward they do connect in a way

a/n: ok so i know it's not much and its really short, but I have huge plans for these characters, and I'll release a bunch of one-shot type stories that eventually form together like a puzzle, I swear, HUGE plans

____________________

On nights like these, I wanna bang my head on the corner of my wall and just die there, I'll suffer less by doing that than by forcing myself to put up with this. I've been working on this painting for hours now, and the colours are starting to melt together and stop making sense, I know I should take a break, and let my mind reboot, but I'm behind enough already and I can't afford to not finish in time. I start to mix the right shade when I just stare at my colour pallet for a full 10 seconds.

"Fuck it."

I practically slam my brush down on my desk, grab my coat, and leave my dorm. I just need a walk, and some fresh air to get my mind working again.

I walk around campus for a while before deciding to go for a slight jog, just to get my blood pumping. I start slow at first, but I gradually get faster, to the point where I'm practically sprinting. I close my eyes, listening to my feet hit the pavement, remembering to keep my breath just at the pace it needs to be, and then I trip on a curb. Guess that's what I get for running with my eyes closed.

My arms react faster than my brain, reaching out to break the fall before I even know what's happening. When I hit the concrete I let out an involuntary cry, mostly out of fear. I made sure to check and make sure I didn't hit my head too hard before checking on the rest of my body. I'm about to stand up when I hear footsteps from behind me.

"Are you alright? I heard you fall."

I look up and find a guy standing above me, he's maybe a little taller than me and is wearing sunglasses even though it's the middle of the night, like some kind of douchebag. He holds his hand out toward me to help me up, and I hesitate slightly before taking it.

"Thanks, um, yeah I'm ok, I was just being an idiot." I look at him, he isn't quite looking back at me, what, is he shy or something? "Uh, how about you just don't tell anybody you saw that, ok?" I laugh at myself awkwardly.

"Uh, I didn't see anything"

"Exactly. You saw nothing."

"No I mean I actually couldn't see anything, I'm visually impaired."

I stare at him in slight horror at myself, feeling like a total idiot. That makes sense as to why he's wearing sunglasses at night. Man, I'm such an asshole. Luckily he doesn't seem overly annoyed with me and is actually sort of grinning.

"I am so sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"It's ok, it's funny, don't apologize." He laughs. "So what's your major?" He asks, starting to walk through campus alongside me. The way he speaks is just so casual, so natural, it feels like I've known him for years rather than a few minutes.

"I'm an art major, I'm actually currently procrastinating working on a nightmare of project as we speak." He laughs at this, and I cant help but join, something about his smile is so contagious. "How about you?"

"Well, I'm not putting off working on a project currently if that's what you mean." He smirks. "I study law. I really want to be able to help people, you know? Defenceless people who aren't able to get the proper justice they deserve."

I nod, because I do know. I feel the same way. I nod before realizing he can't see me. "Yeah, I get that."

We do a full lap around the school before I check my watch, it's later than I thought. I apologize to him and tell him I really should finish the painting, and he nods.

"You know, after class, me and a friend of mine are going to this bar we like, maybe you'd wanna join us? We can meet you here." He asks, right in front of the main doors.

I grin from ear to ear. "I'd love to!" He smiles at me in return, that contagious smile. "Yknow, I never actually got your name." I laugh.

He gives the slightest of bows, teasing. "Matt Murdock, and yours?"

I know he cant see me but I give a tiny curtsy in return. "Alison Adams."

He starts to back away, still smiling. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow, Alison." We both laugh at his dumb joke until we're too far away to hear each other. But I'm still laughing when I continue to work on my project, it doesn't seem so horrible to do now.
