    Summary

    Phoenix finds himself on the floor of his apartment, overwhelmed by a long-buried realisation that steals the breath from his lungs and extinguishes the last of his resolve.

    But hey.
    Maybe it’s for the best?

    After all, how many times can a man shred his hands trying to fix something that was never going to hold—especially when there’s always someone waiting in the wings, ready to tip it all over again?

    Summary

    An errant strand of jet black hair bobs to and fro as he pores over Miles’ face. "Edgeworth? You with me?"

    He’s surrounded by an emulsified blurb of noises: easy laughs, accompanying shouts, a beat. Miles isn’t feeling quite up to a lengthy conversation about his rationale, not when he’s hell bent on convincing himself that Wright is happy, he is happy, that the fire brewing inside of him is a fluke, and that perhaps it was time for him to move forward with his therapy sessions—

    “I was asking why you did it.”

    If he were to tell Wright that he already knew the answer: that he'd been spurred into action due to his creed, his pursuit of justice, he knows he’d only be propagating a half-truth. A secret by omission. In other words, a lie. “I wanted to help you,” he says, earnestly.

    Wright's shoulders rise and fall, an even rhythm. He takes a deep breath in, and the silence scatters. “Why?”

    Miles Edgeworth does not long for more than he’s already been given.

    Sometimes, though, he thinks about it.

    Whumptober Day 8: Sleep Deprivation

    An infamous mob boss has finally been thrown behind bars and Miles and Simon have been assigned the trial to make sure he stays there. However, his long history of crime means there's years of reports and evidence to sift through while they build their case. There's not time for petty things like sleep when this may be their only chance to lock the man away for good. Phoenix would disagree.

    Summary

    Oh, he nicked me, Phoenix thought, examining his hand, covered in a concoction of slobber, crumbs, and a small trickle of blood from the side of his palm. There was only a faint impression of teeth, and a small pierce where the other canine entered the meat of his hand.

     

    The poor dog retreated with a little whine, and a tucked tail.

     

    “Hey, hey- it’s okay. Maybe that wasn’t smart. Here.”

     

    He dumped the rest of the bag out on the ground to try and entice the poor thing to eat again, but the sudden movement of his hand simply spooked the canine, and in a blur of fur it bolted, leaving Phoenix with a bleeding, slobbered hand and no snacks. The wound had a strange achy, burning sensation, but Phoenix thought nothing of it.

     

    Perhaps he should have.
