It's difficult to tell with how their hearts are pounding if they're both trembling or if he's simply feeling their pulses drum with adrenaline and emotion. The ring still slips on easily and fits just right, which is what really matters. Matt can hardly form words while Foggy explains his choice. He laughs, head tipping back as he giggles without holding back like he does when he's intoxicated, unable to keep a straight face as Foggy explains how he took punching into consideration and- Oh God, red to- In his half hysterical state he wonders if it was to go with his glasses or because red is a good color on him, or if it's Daredevil, or less seriously- to match any blood due to that punching.

Foggy takes his other hand and Matt squeezes back on instinct. Foggy explains the meaning of the shapes as Matt takes it all in, guides Matt's fingers to help show him the shape of the carved details and the placement of the gems.

"It's perfect. I don't know what to say- I- I remember them mentioning claddagh rings at one of your family dinners. Must have been one of your cousin's engagements." He swallows against the sudden lump in his throat. Back then he didn't dream he'd ever be wearing one. "Finally, our turn." Long overdue as they know now.

Matt hadn't expected to marry other than for a brief moment before the break up with Elektra. He hadn't given the idea of a wedding much thought before recently. One of the only things that crosses his mind was that he'd likely wear his father's ring but now that he has this one maybe...

"It's not as fancy as this and some would say it's bad luck because their marriage didn't work out but if you- if you're interested I- I want to give you my father's ring, Foggy."

There's another laugh, almost giddy - it isn't that funny, really, how many cousins he has and how many of them have probably either announced their engagement or had it be the talk of the family dinner that Matt was at, but it feels funny now. Matt's been a part of his family for so long that it feels silly, thinking of how this is finally going to happen, that they're finally going to officially be family, but, well. He'll just be a little silly, then.

"I bet some money is going to exchange hands, when we tell them about ours."

He's still running his fingers over Matt's hand, feeling the ring against his skin and smiling stupidly, and it takes a moment for what Matt said to sink in.

"You what?"

After everything, he's not sure why that surprises him, why that's what trips Foggy up, but - he knows what Matt's father means to him.

"I want to know who bet we would end up together," Matt laughs at the thought, at how he'd ask them how they knew. Was it that obvious? How long ago did you know? He wonders if it was before or after he knew he had fallen for his best friend.

Matt repeats himself, though he nearly fails to find his voice because he's already overwhelmed. Matt reaches up with his other hand to stroke over Foggy's cheek.

"When we get home I'm giving you my father's ring. Whether you wear it or not!"

He decides it right then. It's a precious keepsake and he wants to give it to Foggy, even simply to have that piece of Murdock, because they are family. He hadn't imagined himself giving it to anyone else but it seems obvious now the same as their feelings.

"We're going to combine our possessions any way."
