“A Promise” - Matt POV from Chapter 11 of The Red Thread

The Library of Pastaxandria has recorded for its shelves: a Matt POV from Chapter 11 of The Red Thread.

Ship: Matt Murdock x F!Reader

Chapter Summary:

You stilled the moment his fingertips brushed tenderly against your cheek, so very gentle, affection layered over blood and earth and hurt. And god, your skin was so terribly dry and cold, the beat of your heart uneven as it struggled to pump blood through your body, but he could feel you react to him, the barest parting of your lips as you dragged in a startled breath. He didn’t want to startle you further or risk you fighting him, so he let his voice drop into a whisper, soft as the brush of a feather. “It’s me. I’m here.”
