At one of the lowest points of his life, Matt entered into his world and brought in such a light, not only for him but also for his ma. Sarah had loved Matt like her own and made sure he never felt left out or lacking if she could help it. They were like a family and for awhile it looked like the closest thing possible to paradise for Steve. Even through all the years and loss they both faced, Steve still looked at Matt and felt the exact same way. Matt embodied all the best memories of his entire life and he couldn't imagine another day without him. Being overseas had been rough enough and he never wanted to face such a distance again.

"Something slow," Steve murmured, the fondest look possible filling his face. It felt like a night of revelations but he needed to keep the words to himself. Matt could have practically anyone he wanted and Steve overheard Foggy talking about Claire something or another to Karen when they thought he had left the office already after Matt. Good thing they didn't have the enhanced senses or anything.

He backed up a little, putting the rest of the cake into the fridge while Matt set things up for them. It would feel nice to dance with someone again, to feel the heat of another person's body closer to his own.
