5) sender kisses under receiver’s ear, right where the jaw and neck connect. - matt x jessica. ( can't find the prompt i was inspired from but if you recognize it, please link me and i'll add it as credit ! )
his hand lies warmly on her ankle, thumb brushing over the jut of bone while the sole of her left foot presses against his thigh. it’s about as touchy as she is in idle spaces, not exactly the curl up at your side or in your lap kind of girl. while he, at his preference, was much more tactile, eager to get what he could. however, he’s been careful about it, following her lead and what she’d allow in its due time. though, they have come to the point where moments like these, his hand falling to her ankle while they each scanned through files of their respective cases, wasn’t such a big deal.
matt’s brows rise in surprise though when jessica’s position shifts, her calves outstretched now across his lap. lips twitch to form a faint smile, his own hand finding its new place on her right leg, thumb pressing and massaging the supple flesh he grips there. his smile grows when she gives a soft hum of approval, muscles relaxing beneath his touch.
“ you should give it a rest if you’re tired. ”
“ i will when you do, murdock. ”
and, so they slip into easy banter, biting and nipping at each other until they do end up setting aside their work and fall into actual conversation.
it often comes as a surprise to one another how naturally they weave and bob, creating a rhythm of their own to go by. on paper, matt murdock and jessica jones definitely shouldn’t work, neither as a team, as drinking buddies, or as … whatever the hell they have been for months now. but, it’s like all those differences– those broken pieces that shouldn’t fit— click together in a way that’s led to trust. for once, neither of them have to explain themselves. they can just be. just exist. and be understood, more or less. even when they argue over their differences in ideologies, at the end of the day, there’s that strange feeling of reliance, assurance that the other would be there for them if they fell. you didn’t need lots of shared hobbies and shared tastes in alcoholic beverages to go off of if you had something like that with another person.
she’s shifting beneath his touch again and her legs lift away from his lap. unfocused gaze turns then head tilts to track her movements– the creaking of the floorboards beneath the area rug as she steps onto the floor, the slide of her laptop against wood as she places it down on his coffee table, and matthew hears her steps nearing him and then just in front of him. head tips back as if to meet her eyes, but then, her weight is on him again, knees on either side of his hips, thighs pressed to his when she settles against his lap.
before he can decide what to do, jessica takes his hands and guides them to her own hips, the swell of her fitting against his palm. when his fingers curl and grip her firmly, he listens to her breath hitch in her throat. fingertips ache to feel once more her skin instead of the rough denim scraping against them now, but again, all in its due time.
for now, jessica’s hands on his shoulders, bunching up his white dress shirt, and cherry-flavored lips brushing against his own is enough to alleviate the ache.
everything intimate with her is often hungry and rushed, starved for need but content only to get to the destination. so, he’s taken by surprise once more when her lips simply seek out his over and over in languid, drawn out kisses. her whiskey-laced breath fans out hot and heavy as she drags her mouth against his jawline, then just beneath his ear. her tongue darts out to lick his earlobe, sending a shiver sweeping down his spine. while rushed and hungry works in her favor, this tilts the favor in his direction, his own heart thumping quicker in his chest with every purposeful placement of her lips.
her name rumbles out of his mouth, hands finally delving beneath her tank top, seeking the warmth of her bare skin against his palms. while his body is riddled with scars, raised and gnarled, hers is practically without blemish.
“ come on, let’s go to bed. ” she whispers, teeth biting down on his earlobe. it’s all the incentive he needs.
the way i never continued the love language drabbles but here i am with a new hyperfixation ( or rather an old one that's gained traction once more,,, but i'm not mad about it at all )
Eddie is canonically a hand-writer, meaning he writes or scribbles on his hands. I just feel like he’s writing notes to himself when him an Chrissy hangout:
Chrissy fav flower lilly
Aunt Edna nicer than mom
Learn blondie song!
<3 Hostess ding dongs
Silver Lilac -> Revlon
IU Bloomington, UW Madison, *Chicago State*
Dreamsicles C’s fav
Scared of cats????
Get C more cherry lip smackers yummmm
All the while, Chrissy will be like “Whatcha writing down?” And Eddie always just kinda hides his hand and brushes off with a “oh just something I don’t want to forget later.”
Eddie would definitely be the type of boyfriend to play wrestle or play fight with Chrissy while she’s trying to do something
like she’s on the phone while simultaneously doing her makeup for a party they’re going to and he’s pretending to slice her with an imaginary sword, flicking her hair and pulling at her clothes with quiet sound effects that she has to ignore or else she’s going to ruin her lipstick from smiling too hard
or they get back to the trailer after a movie date and she’s telling him her thoughts on it while he does embarrassing karate moves on her the entire time, still actively listening but she’s also his professionally trained enemy right now and if he doesn’t defeat her, the world will come to an end. and she loves him but goddammit Eddie, I’m trying to tell you why I think this happened in the movie!
or she’s reading the nutrition label on a box of cereal in the grocery store and he comes up behind her to slowly and gently put his arm around her shoulders, basically a loving head lock as he pretends to be an assassin, and puts his other arm around her waist to pick her up and carry her away while she laughs and forgets all about the calorie count
and the first time Chrissy does it, he’s sitting near the foot of his bed in his underwear, watching her change into her cute matching pyjama set before she leaps at him, knocking them back onto the bed. he’s ecstatic and grinning ear to ear as they begin to play wrestle, before eventually she has him in a chokehold with her thighs and he happily admits defeat
I’ve got no idea why but this particular gif is driving me fucking nuts at the moment like he’s so into it he’s climbing on the table?? Yes baby 😍The sassy little toss of his hair? Perfection.
Your daily reminder that Eddie is very much in love with Chrissy. In another universe where they’ve both survived he is sitting at their small kitchen table, a cigarette is dangling from his lips while he’s cutting an apple for her. It’s early in the morning and the sun is shining through the window. Their orange cat is meowing while Chrissy is preparing coffee for him and tea for herself.
