It doesn't matter what kind of person he was; he was important to you. It's okay that it hurts.
[ Foggy's eyes slip shut for a moment, his breathing slowing down and steadying as Matt just leans into him, letting Foggy hold him up. And then it's over, but it hadn't taken more than that second for Foggy to realize just how much he wanted exactly that. For Matt not to feel like he has to keep holding himself up all alone when he's hurting, that Foggy can take some of the weight.
His heart breaks a little when Matt admits that he's worried Foggy won't think of him the same way, and goddamn he's really trying to be nice here but fuck Stick, seriously. Admittedly, it's probably not just Stick that instilled this sense of 'crying and showing vulnerability is weakness' in Matt, but he's the easiest source for Foggy to blame at the moment.
He hugs Matt just a little bit tighter. ]
You're gonna get the same earful of my problems until you wish I'd just shut up for a minute that you've always gotten, no matter how many times I see you cry. It doesn't make you weak, or mean you're any less than what you are.
[ It's meant a lot to Foggy that he's one of the few people who does get to see Matt cry, but that's - yeah, he needs to find a better way to say that then I like seeing you cry because way to sound creepy. ]
You've always been the strongest person I know, Matt, that's never going to change. You're so good at protecting me, I just - I want to take care of you, too. [ There's a brief pause, then Foggy amends that to: ] I want you to let me take care of you.
