He's certainly not going to argue with her belief. Sometimes that's all
someone needs to keep going, to change their lives, to be a better person:
belief. Besides, it will be good to have someone who believes in him when
he loses faith in himself and what he's trying to do, and he does
sometimes.
She'll learn over time. It's not that he's deliberately keeping anything
from her. It's more an effort not to overwhelm her combined with the fact
that he's never really told anyone much about his abilities. He'd told
Claire more than anything and she'd walked out because his life was far too
difficult, dangerous and complicated for her. He didn't blame her. He still
doesn't. He doesn't begrudge her anything she had to do to survive and that
includes lying, but he doesn't want her to lie to him. He won't lie to her
and he doesn't think there's any need to lie to him. He's glad that she
finds it impossible to lie to him as selfish as that may be. He hasn't lied
to her about anything and he doesn't intend to start.
As long as it's got nothing to do with a savior complex now. He wants her
to love him for who he is, flawed and real, not always a savior (though he
tries). It's probably normal to develop something like Stockholm Syndrome
in that situation. People want to be able to trust someone, to care for
them and in a situation that's so horrible, they turn to the only
constants. Maybe one of these days she won't hate herself for loving him at
all. Though, there are moments where he wonders if he's taking advantage of
her by caring for her the way he does. He's hardly given her a chance to
experience a normal life and maybe she needs that. She ought to meet people
her own age, go out with a variety of people and learn what life is like
for most people her age. He's selfish though and as long as she's happy,
he's happy keeping her to himself.
He's got every intention of making sure that she continues to love being in
love, that it continues to feel good in every possible way. He may be too
selfish to tell her that she's got a life to live, but he's not too selfish
to make sure that she's happy in love with him. She makes him just as
happy. In fact, it's something that Karen and Foggy will probably comment
on in the future. It'll give him an edge when he's out fighting because
he's got someone that is waiting for him to come home and a reason not to
lay down (though Murdock men never have been very good at quitting anyway,
even when they should). He manages to hold on just long enough to drive
her closer to that orgasm because he promised amazing and he wants to live
up to that.
He's got absolutely no desire to move anytime soon, not as long as she's
happy this way. He takes a deep breath of her, everything sated and humming
inside of him. He can't help but chuckle at her words, the sound vibrating
and rolling throughout his chest. He smiles against her skin. "Amazing is
an excellent word for it. Also the literal meaning of awesome. I am in awe
right now."
