《Heroes need saving too: A Daredevil fanfic》Chapter 9: Matt's wildest romance fantasy
Advertisement
Matt slept the rest of the night. Sometimes Claire would feel him stir through the night and hug her closely again. Whenever he did that he showed that cocky little side smile. Claire never realized how much Matt sleeping made her feel good. It was like this was the only time he could have a refuge from all the chaos in his world. And with her arms around him she felt like she could reassure him that he wasn't going to be alone. Throughout the night she'd run her fingers through his hair, gently kiss him, or trace features of his face with her fingers. She almost had his face memorized. From the small creases in his forehead, to roundness of his cheeks.
She quietly whispered to him, "I'm not letting you go." It wasn't loud enough to wake him up, but she needed to say it, she wanted him to know. The sunlight began to brighten the room around them. It started dim then, more and more light came through. She noticed how different his face looked in the natural light. She ran her fingers through his hair again. Claire wished she could have this all the time. The closeness, the ability to touch him... the opportunity to love him. She tightened her embrace around him, and held him closer.
I'm not letting you go....
Weather it was hours or minutes she spent laying there with him was a mystery to her. When she was with him it was as if time stopped and all the big things turned out to be small things and the only thing that mattered was him.
Matt started to stir. He lifted his head and looked up at her. He placed his head on her shoulder.
"Good morning." He said in a half-awake voice. Claire smiled, and kissed his forehead.

Matt returned her smile. "Well, it is a good morning.", he said.
"Morning stitches"
"Stitches?"
"Yeah I figured it was better than 'garbage pigeon'"
"I don't know the last one would explain why you want to take me out so bad."
"Oh, as if", she said and playfully shoved him back a little.
"What? Come on",he said jokingly. "You could if you wanted to you know, we could go by the dumpster, under the moonlight, and have a nice spaghetti dinner."
"Really? You've been planning this?"
"Oh yeah, it's my wildest fantasy." Claire stifled a laugh.
"You'll get me flowers, and at the end we live happily ever after... In a castle, made of candy and pizza."
"Matt, you're a dork."
He put on his signature smirk. "You're the one cozyied up to me so..."
"Hey the only reason I am is because you're my dork."
Matt blushed. Claire kissed his cheeks.

The Fabled Islands
Somewhere out there, in the great expanse of space and time, exist the Fabled Islands. Nobody knows how or why they exist, but only that it is a strange and special place that operates under laws separate from the universe. The Fabled Islands are made up of vast floating continents. They vary in size, with some ranging from the surface area of a small planet, to a star. If you look at them from afar, you would find that they are placed in a line. Each island is separated by a vast amount of space, so there is only one way to travel from one island to the next; a gateway on the edge of the island. Each island is governed by strange rules. The only thing they share in common, is that the rules are governed by the System. The rules change vastly from one island to the next, so you must quickly adapt. Tristan was raised on the first island, Fertility Island, and has finally been allowed to become a Brave; a respected profession throughout the islands. Fertility Island is a peaceful island. There are hardly any monsters, the land is fertile, and the people kind. This is the complete opposite of what Tristan wants. Bring on the monsters! Bring on the magical items! I want adventure, loot, and to put my life on the line! Where are the dungeons, caverns, and mountains to be explored? Where is the mythical equipment to be found? The next island? Then the next island I will go! His adventure begins now.
