Tuesday came soon after. Monday was good enough for time to pass fast. Karen had given Matt a new watch, which he thanked her for with many hugs and "Thank you"s. Karen hugged him back as hard as she could every time, very satisfied with Matt's reaction.

Now that Matt had a watch, though, he couldn't stop checking the time. So he checked and checked and time began to slow down again. Not knowing the time made everything go faster, so it seemed. He needed something to do to kill the time and Foggy just seemed to have solutions to every problem.

"Let's teach you how to ride a bike," He had proposed.

"What? Foggy, no. That's a terrible idea!" Matt yelled back, too excited to hide his smile.

And so they went to the park, Matt holding Karen's elbow and Foggy already there, waiting for them, already riding the bicycle in circles.

"Oh, my God. Foggy's doing it, he's riding a bike," Karen told Matt. "He's going in circles. Now he's going in a straight line, right at us. Oh, he just let go. He's riding without hands. Oh m-" Karen couldn't finish her sentence. Matt was pushed to the side by Karen, which was a good call. Foggy had lost control, even though he seemed like he could go around the world with that bicycle just a few seconds ago. Foggy impressively jumped off the bike and landed on his butt, somehow. Karen laughed hysterically at his fall, tears in her eyes. Despite being totally lost right now, Matt smiled to himself, imagining what his friend would look like, sitting on his ass in the grass with the bike next to him.

His smile faded as a ball hit the back of his head, causing him to drop his cane. The glasses got shoved forward, but they didn't fall. The world went quiet around him. He held back his tears as he thought he had lost his hearing again. He let the tears roll when he realized the world went quiet because everyone was shocked that someone had hit the blind guy. His friends came rushing towards him, handing him his cane, holding him, guiding him to a bench, letting him fall and sitting next to him as he gathered his sanity again.

The one that had kicked the ball had come toward them after a minute or two, standing awkwardly in front of the group of friends. Matt took off his glasses, not knowing that the boy was standing in front of them. He only realized they were being watched as he heard the boy gasp, obviously not knowing what to say or do to make it better. Foggy gets up to scold him, but Karen pauses him.

"I don't think that's what either of them need right now. It was just an accident, right? MAtt, no hard feelings right?" Karen asks.

Matt only manages to shake his head a little and the kid runs off, leaving them to it. Foggy and Karen are both quiet while Matt clears his throat. He wants to ask them if he's gone, so that they can move on, but maybe others are watching as well. He decides silence is best right now.

A slight headache starts to creep up on Matt, just when he thought he was feeling better. He'd like to go to the office, return everything to normal, even though he knows he can't. They sit there for a moment, neither of them saying a word about all that's happening. Silence is something that's suddenly a good thing among them. Not one of them ates the silence, they all seem okay with it. Although Matt still hates how quiet his world is right now, he doesn't seem to be bothered by the silence among the three when he knows they're still there.

He feels almost obligated to fill it after a while, but luckily, Foggy is always the first one to crack.

"Want to go back to my apartment? I think I wrecked the bike anyways, you know." This did get Matt to let out an almost silent chuckle. Karen and Foggy smile to each other, obviously noticing his chuckle.

They all stood up simultaneously, looking like the ultimate squad goal for one second, before Matt reached out to put his hand onto Foggy's elbow and missed, causing himself to laugh at how stupid he must look, petting the air in front of him. This would be the cue for Foggy and Karen to laugh as well, and they do.

All they did for the rest of the day was cuddle on the couch and trying to keep Matt's headache down.
