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."
