"Nice?" Matt raises his eyebrows. "According to who?"
He laughs, though, and maybe he should feel bad about having a good time when everything is going to sit around them. Or maybe he can just let himself have a moment of normalcy and not think too much about it.
He adds some milk and sugar to his coffee, giving it a stir.
"Should I be jealous? Maybe I should tell her you're already taken."
"People," he says with dry amusement. Anyone who interacts with him and is still alive would know how nice he is, obviously, because it means they haven't pissed him off bad enough to get on his ugly side. That's how it works right?
Matt finding amusement in this situation is kind of nice though, even Frank can admit to that much. With all the shit that just went down, both of them beaten and broken down in different ways, they deserve some levity. Even if it's temporary. So, Frank is fine playing along with whatever this is as he keeps his foot pressed to Matt's under the table.
"Taken, huh?" A soft breath, gruff but pleased. "Didn't think you'd be the jealous type with the amount of flirting you do on your own."
"I didn't say I was jealous, I was just asking if I should be."
Okay, so maybe he's a little jealous sometimes when someone else can make a connection with Frank. He knows how Frank is. He knows it's never going to get to any of the points Matt lets his own flirtations get to, but he'd be lying if he said he didn't feel a brief pang of something when he'd heard Karen and Frank together. Friends, bonded over something Matt had nothing to do with, maybe it was just the collision of what Matt used to think he wanted meeting what Matt actually wants.
He takes a drink of his coffee, letting his foot slide against Frank's.
"Anyway, we live together now. Things are different."
The corner of Matt's mouth quirks up, amused but betraying the tiredness he's feeling.
