It was all to much for Matt. The sounds, the smells, just everything. He could hear it all. Tony laughing loudly at something Clint had said, Wanda and Vision whispering away in the corner, Natasha and Bruce flirting, Steve and Bucky talking about their old life.
His hands begun to shake, and somebody had put their hand on his shoulder and they were talking and asking what was wrong, yet he couldn't hear them, as everything seemed to drown away, and he couldn't hear anymore, he could feel though, and he felt hands grasping him and he hated it.
He tried to get away, he tried to hear, he began to shout and shout just so he could hear something, it didn't work.
He ran from the hands and crawled over to a corner, scratching at his ears, and banging on his head, trying to hear something, anything.
Frank? Where was Frank? Frank always helped him in situations like these, he needed Frank. Yet, he couldn't get anything out besides from screams and shouts that seemed to shake the building.
"All Avengers report to the living room on floor 8." Fridays voice resonated throughout the building, and Frank dropped his gun and began running through the halls to get there. "Something is wrong with Murdock." Friday said. Frank's heart just began to beat faster and faster, and he couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to Matt, to his Red.
He ran faster, trying to get there. Once he got there, he saw Matt hiding in a corner, shouting.
All the Avengers stood by, worried. "We have to do something." Bruce said. "Frank!" Was shouted, and it came from Matt. "Frank! Frank! Frank! Frank! Frank!" All the Avengers turned to the Punisher.
He didn't look at any of them, his attention was solely on Matt, his eyes wide. "Frank! Please, help me. I can't- I can't hear. Frank! I can't hear." Matt screamed. Frank sprung into action, moving closer to the blind man, going slow because he didn't wish to startle him. "It's okay, baby. I'm here." Frank whispered. Everyone else's eyes widened, as they had no idea that Frank and Matt were actually together, they had speculated, but had no idea at all.
Matt's hands reached blindly for Frank as he sobbed, and screamed, and shouted for Frank. Frank reached him, "It's okay. It's me, Red. I'm here baby." He slowly picked him up, and Matt wrapped himself around Frank, shaking and trying to grip anything of Frank that he could. Matt just kept on whispering 'Frank' over and over again, and the Avengers were shocked, that Matt had so willingly let Frank pick him up and cradle him.
Once they had arrived at Matt's bedroom, he had placed him on the bed, Matt seemed cautious in letting Frank go and kept trying to latch onto him again.
Frank put Matt under the covers and then joined him, wrapping Matt up into his arms.
After a while Matt whispered, "Thank you." Frank looked over at him and smiled lazily, "You can hear now?" Frank questioned. "Yes. Thank you for helping me." Matt said as he snuggled closer to Frank.
"I love you, baby." Frank whispered quietly, "I love you to, Frank. "
