Alfred took Matthew's hand in his own and started to drag him away from the building.
"You know it wasn't your fault right?" Alfred asked when he noticed the way Matthew was eyeing the bandages guiltily.
"But Al-"
"Nope, no but's, I was the one that dragged you out there it's my fault that guy was a freak."
"Al if I had just handled it on my own-"
"Mattie he was giving you the creep eye, I wasn't going to let you face that alone."
"But he attacked you!" Matthew hissed as they rounded the corner of the building.
"Stop Matthew!" Alfred snapped, startling Matthew. It was quiet for a few minutes before Matthew spoke again; subdued.
"Sorry…"
Alfred sighed, stopping and turning to face him he held Matthew's hand tighter.
"I chose to step in Mattie, I knew you could handle that guy but I wanted to be your hero, so don't feel bad… okay?"
"…Okay."
