Authors Note: I love Jessica and Matt together and I have a couple stories in progress but I wrote these the other night and I thought I'd share. I got this word list from a story by Mystikat called Emperors&Queens, it's great, you should read it. Anyway, this is my version of those words with Jones and Murdock, I hope you like it!
50 Reasons Why I'm Your Idiot
01 - Comfort
Alcohol is an amazing way to drown out all the memories and feelings she'd like to forget forever; for Jessica it used to be whiskey, but goddamn if Matthew Murdock isn't a motherfucking ocean, much less toxic (and almost more enjoyable) to drown in.
02 – Kiss
"Shit" he will mumble, coming home and collapsing; she groans and replies "That shit meant something bad"; the question is always, "is there a time shit means something good?"; he knows the answer the first time she kisses him.
03 – Soft
Both their hands are rough; Matt's suit is stiff; the couch is hard; but Matt's prissy ass silk sheets are the softest thing she's ever felt and he loves letting her sleep there.
04 – Pain
She never admits she's in pain, instead she bitches about her opponent, but he can tell; he tosses her an Advil ("Here") ("Asshole"), but she takes it anyway.
05 – Potatoes
Jessica has never had Thanksgiving, but she can't help but say yes when Matt asks her to join him for dinner (she expects Foggy and Karen; Trish, Danny, Colleen, Claire, Luke, and Malcolm surprise her); he smiles at her face, "Happy Thanksgiving, Jess; "fuck you, Matt" she replies, but she can't contain a grin (that little shit).
06 – Rain
Devil Matt is a run through the fire; lawyer Matt is a dance in the rain; Jessica doesn't know which one she likes better, because to her he's a good bottle of whiskey, and who really gives a shit about that other stuff.
07 – Chocolate
The first time she kisses him it is a drunken, rage filled action that leaves them both in shambles; days later can still taste her, its bitter, bitter like a piece of dark chocolate.
08 – Happiness
Laying with his arms around her on the worn old couch the world could be covered in flames, they could let it burn and Jessica would be happy; despite what she thinks, he would too.
09 – Telephone
It's Luke who finds Jessica asleep on top of a snoring Matt; he sends the group a picture; it's in the news the next day (Ex Vigilante and PI Jessica Jones May Have Found Love in Manhattan's Favorite Lawyer Matthew Murdock); Danny is overjoyed; Jessica hits him; Matt buys a new lock.
10 – Ears
It's her arm Matt always takes when they're in public, her help he asks for in his little ruse; "lair" she'll whisper to him; he smirks and replies "you love it"; she puts his hand around her arm in response.
11 – Name
There's a list: Matty, Matt, Dipshit, Murdock, Daredevil, Devil boy, Asshole, but nothing is more pleasant to hear than his full name on her lips, Matthew; it's a drug and he's addicted.
12 – Sensual
Jessica is covered in scars, but Matt's skin is a shit show; she lets her hands slip over every single mark and Matt returns the favor; she's never loved her scars more.
13 - Death
Matthew doesn't kill, Jessica doesn't either; when they're out together and Jessica hits someone a little to hard, Matt is there to hold her.
14 – Sex
They take it slow; it's one night; and then all the ones after that.
15 – Touch
Jessica hates touching (she has Kilgrave to thank for that), no one lays a hand on her, not Malcom, not Trish, no one; Matt's no different, except that he is.
16 – Weakness
Matt had always been willing to die, despite what he promised Foggy, but her making him swear to it was the most vulnerable thing in the world; now he has to come home alive.
17 – Tears
She wipes tears from his face while her own fall down her cheeks (neither really knows why but there's comfort together); his shirt is wet in the morning; they don't talk about it.
18 – Speed
Jessica takes pictures of Matt and this thing they have so she can keep it forever, because Jessica is afraid that she'll blink at one wrong moment and it will be gone.
19 – Wind
The wind howls and she can feel it rip through her hair; his hands follow.
20 – Freedom
Jessica's heart bangs on her ribs like a prisoner she keeps locked up, but somehow, through what she will tell you is no fault of her own, Matt finds the key.
21 – Life
Damn him, she had spent weeks feelings like shit over him, the son of a bitch; Matthew Murdock was alive.
22 – Jealousy
Matt dies for Electra; it makes Jessica sick; that's how he finds her, at home with a fever of green.
23 – Hands
Matt's hands aren't delicate and they shouldn't be; Jessica's hands are rough too, but she doesn't use them to see like he does; he wants her to, so when he's trailing his calloused palms over her body she finally caves, closing her eyes and seeing him with her hands.
24 – Taste
She tastes like alcohol; one kiss (though he certainly has more than that) and he's drunk.
25 – Devotion
He doesn't want to leave her ("Martyr" she calls him)(except he's not and it's her damn fault).
Note: That's the first half! The second 25 will be up sometime tomorrow. I know some of those might be a little run on, one sentence is pretty hard sometimes so just bare with me. Thanks for reading and I love reviews!
