Mutt

Matt Murdock x Male Reader

Summary: Matt finds you on the rooftop of your apartment building.

A/n: I have two requests in my drafts, and I'll get to them when I have the motivation to do so. For now I offer some short angst.

Smoke curled from your lips, the cigarette hanging loosely between your fingers as you stared blankly into the night sky. Bruises marred your face, arms, and knuckles, a testament to the latest explosion of your rage. Your body ached, a constant, stinging pain that mirrored the emotional turmoil within. Tears streamed down your cheeks, your eyes red and puffy from hours of silent weeping.

This was a familiar ritual, a grim dance played out far too often. You'd pick fights you knew you couldn't win, fueled by a desperate need to feel something other than the suffocating dread and self-loathing that constantly gnawed at you. It was a twisted attempt to distract yourself from the slow, agonizing process of imploding, of disappearing beneath the weight of your own despair.

You sighed, wrapping your lips around the cigarette and taking another drag. The harsh taste of tobacco and nicotine offered a fleeting reprieve from the bitter taste of your own self-destruction. The sound of footsteps on the fire escape jolted you from your reverie. You knew it was him, always him. Matt.

He never spoke, never intruded on your silence. He understood the importance of letting you unravel at your own pace, of letting you share your pain on your own terms. You leaned against him, the rough concrete of the rooftop a distant memory beneath his comforting warmth. He held you, his silence a gentle, unwavering embrace.

Tonight, however, was different. As you rested against him, his hands gently tracing patterns in your hair, the familiar torrent of tears failed to materialize. "Do you ever wonder," you murmured, your voice hoarse, "why we do this to ourselves?"

Matt sighed, a deep, weary sound that mirrored your own. "Of course I do. Why do you ask?"

You extinguished the cigarette against the rough cement, the dying ember a stark contrast to the vibrant city lights below. "I feel like a… a bad dog," you whispered, the words catching in your throat. "Always snapping, always biting."

The image stung, a raw, painful truth you couldn't deny. You'd been called a mutt more times than you could count, a creature of instinct and aggression. Even Matt, in a moment of frustration, had used the analogy. It was undeniable: you were broken, a stray left to fend for itself for far too long, a creature beyond repair.

"I'm a mutt," you whispered, your voice barely audible above the distant hum of the city, "deserving of the pound."

Matt's body stiffened, the gentle rhythm of his hands in your hair faltering. Oh, how he hated hearing you tear yourself down, reduce yourself to nothing. "A mutt deserves a chance," he said, his voice firm yet gentle. "Even a mutt with a bite. It doesn't define them."

You looked up at him, your eyes searching his. "You don't think so?"

He cupped your face, his thumb gently wiping away a stray tear. "No," he said, his voice unwavering. "I think you're handsome, even with all your scars. And I love you, more than words can say."

He leaned down, his lips brushing against yours in a soft, gentle kiss. It was a kiss filled with a quiet strength, a promise whispered on the wind. A promise to be there, to hold you, to help you heal.

And for the first time in a long time, you believed him.

✿ and cat (req)

matt murdock x f!reader

bit suggestive

( ♡ a lazy saturday morning )

Matt has not been around the house for a while, he’s been working on a case or something adjacent to that and you can’t help but miss him.

The only company you had was the kitten the two of you adopted a week ago, it doesn’t have a name since Matt promised that the two of you would name it together.

So for now his name was cat.

You woke up to the bright morning light blinding you, clearly telling you to get up. But as you tried to sit up there was a large arm hugging your waist as well as ginger hair tickling your shoulders, who else could this be?

You turned over to his side and buried your face on his shoulder, you could feel him softly chuckle as he rakes his hands through your hair, “Good morning to you too.”

You only mumbled something in your breath as your arms slipped to hug his waist, he rested his cheek on top of your head as he pulled you closer.

After a while of comfortable silence, you spoke up “How was work?” you asked while he merely shrugged “Could be better.”

Your eyes fluttered opened as you looked up at him from below, “What time did you come home?” Matt paused for a bit while caressing your hair, “I don’t remember.” he replied, “I just wanted to get back.”

Your cat, Cat, jumped on the bed and wiggled in between the both of you. You smiled st thr sight of it “Hello cat.” you greeted the furball as you caressed its cheek.

Matt raised his brow, “You still call it cat?” he asked, looking between you and the furball you were petting. “Well, you said we’ll name it together.” you responded, placing the kitten in your chest.

“And we will, I just didn’t think you’d call it cat instead of something else.” he replied as the kitten seemed to curl into your chest, snuggling into your warmth.

“It’s kinda cute to call it that.” you said, Matt only hummed in reply before wrapping his arm around your waist again, his other hand going to the kitten as he lightly tickled its chin.

“Matt.”

“Hmm..”

“It’s Saturday, can we laze around?”

He let out a quiet sigh at your request, a hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his lips as his hand kept lightly caressing your back, “Do you even have to ask?”

You smiled at his answer, knowing that he wasn’t the type of person to say no to you.

He leaned in and pressed a kiss to your shoulder, letting his lips linger there for a while, just enjoying the moment of peace with the two of you and Cat of course.

You could feel Matt’s calloused hand trace along your figure, his fingers trailing your hip to your waist before giving it a squeeze. You leaned into the contact as he pressed another kiss to your shoulder, his head moving down slightly to your neck.

“Matt..”

Matt hummed another quiet hum in response as he pulled you in even closer, to which you easily complied.

He slowly pushed you onto your back and leaned over you, pinning you between his arms without putting his whole weight on you.

He lightly brushed your hair away from your face, before he leaned down to kiss you, his hands sliding down to your waist and resting there.

Matt slowly deepened the kiss, his body pressing against yours as he kept you underneath him.

Cat interrupted by letting out a hiss since Matt almost crushed the poor thing.

“Sorry Cat.” he muttered, “You’re so mean to Cat.” you said, pinching his cheek.

He rolled his eyes fondly at you, “It was an accident.” he claimed, holding back a smile that was threatening to form, “Now come on. You wanted to laze around, didn’t you?”

He moved off of you and sat back against the headboard, pulling you over as he did, so you were seated between his legs, your back leaning against his chest.

Matt rested his chin on your shoulder and wrapped his arms around you as he held you close. “This is what you wanted, right?” he asked, his voice a soft rumble in your ear as you sat in his embrace.

You tilted your head to the side so it leaned on his shoulder and hummed in agreement, “Mhmm.” He breathed in deeply, taking in the moment and the feel of you in his arms.

Matt smiled as he planted a kiss to your cheek, one hand slid down to your stomach, lightly caressing your abdomen.

Cat wanted to join in by placing his paws on your lap, “Oh, look he wants to join in.” Matt raised a brow at the kitten.

“Does he now?” he replied, before looking down at the kitten’s paws on your lap, “I thought he didn’t like me, seeing as I almost crushed him a while back.” You picked the small kitten up, “He’s just warming up.”

Matt let out a quiet chuckle as you held Cat in your arms, “Sure, whatever you say.” he said, before leaning in to lightly kiss your neck, “I still say it needs a name.”

You merely hummed in reply as you stroked Cat’s head and back, feeling a soft purr coming from the kitty as it leaned into your touch.

Matt kept his lips on your neck, placing another kiss, just below your ear, his hand gently caressing your stomach absentmindedly again.

“Can we name it Felix?”

“Felix.. I like it.”

ok… imagine a moon knight and daredevil crossover where dd has no issues fighting the invisible jackals because the dude cant see shit anyway. moon knight is like “you can see them??” and matt, not wanting to reveal his blindness but having no idea theyre invisible, is just like “yeah i can see of course i can see”

moon knight then assumes dd is an avatar of an egyptian god. bc what else? so, naturally, moon knight asks “what god do you serve?”

“jesus”

“what??”

“im catholic?”

“what???”

a lot can be said about matt murdock’s mental health, if the person who had to give him a therapy talk was frank castle instead of his therapist girlfriend.
