[ Yeah, that... doesn't tell him much at all, does it? The lies almost speak louder than the truth. So his boyfriend... isn't kind? But he's there for him. And Connor's never felt... what? Wanted? Never had anyone waiting for him at home, who'd spend time with him?
Of course Matt doesn't immediately assume that. That's a worst-case, and Connor may be an emotional wreck, but there's no reason to assume he's with his boyfriend for reasons besides the ones he's articulating now. Having that support is obviously important to him. Matt's not going to ask him for more than he's willing to share. ]
That sounds great.
[ Though to be honest, Connor could have just as easily been describing Matt's relationship with Foggy in college. Matt liked coming home to him, he'd never had a best friend or felt so close to anyone before, and they didn't have sex (haha.) It just sounds like there's nothing too immediately romantic about their relationship, but lots of people go on to marry their best friends. (Um, but not Matt tho, that's an important distinction to be making here.) ]
