Marvel Universe: Too easy by EmeraldStorm

Too easy (Foggy/Matt | R | 1,294 words): Matt has been given an assignment to carry out while out with Foggy. This is such a cool fic. I love the tenseness between Matt's thoughts and Foggy's actions and not knowing which way the chips are going to fall until the end.

Excerpt:
It's an easy job. A piece of cake, as they say. There is also literal cake because it's a safe way to get Foggy into a restaurant. Not that he doesn't let Matt pay for four courses before getting to dessert.

The place is nice. Tasteful music plays, not too loud and pleasant on the ears. All guests of the establishment have a sense of tact so nobody imposes their conversation on others. Matt hears it all anyway: spoken words, clinking glasses, and cutlery scraping over plates. But it's at a volume that allows him to tune it out and focus on Foggy.

All the way through dinner, Foggy chatters, turns his head around like a curious child, and greets other patrons he knows. So easily distracted. It would be a child's play to poison his soup.
