Chapter Text
'I could leave him in the monkey enclosure. Or with the peacocks. No one would ever know.'
Apollo Justice thought to himself, as he watched his boyfriend Klavier dash giddily from the tapirs to the capybaras in their local zoo.
"Look, Herr Forehead! They're like massive guinea pigs!" He called excitedly. Apollo followed and sighed.
"Yep. And no, you can't get one," he smirked.
Klavier attempted his special pout.
Apollo put his hand over Klavier's face.
The couple had a rare day off together and had wanted to do something fun together. Apollo objected to Disneyland, on the grounds that it was a little too expensive and excessive for a day trip. Klavier objected to the space centre because "Good Gött in Himmel, don't you ever get tired of the space centre?!"
The zoo was their compromise. Klavier didn't actually mind at all.
"Is it true that tapirs steal your dreams?" Klavier asked.
Apollo glared at him slightly. "You're kidding, right?"
"I always wondered."
"How are you an adult, let alone a prodigy?"
They wondered around, arm in arm. Klavier would occasionally run ahead, dragging Apollo behind.
At the tiger enclosure, two tigers were lying together, one licking the others head affectionately.
"Aww, look, Forehead!" Klavier said with a massive grin. "They're like us!"
Before Apollo could agree or disagree, one of the tigers started mounting the other.
"Now they're like us," Apollo chuckled.
"Shall we get ice cream?" Klavier asked as they walked past a vender.
"It's a bit cold for ice cream, don't you think?" His partner replied. "Not to mention how early in the day it is."
"Fine, I'll just get myself one then!" He said, poking his tongue out.
Once he'd bought his ice cream, he licked it slowly and teasingly. Apollo didn't really care, but Klavier still caved in and offered him some after about a minute.
In the petting zoo, Klavier couldn't stop looking for bunnies that looked like Apollo. Apollo became particularly fond of a speckled grey goat, tickling it behind the ears and letting it lick his hand. Then the goat tried to ram into Klavier when he got too close. Which made Apollo laugh and like the goat even more.
The smaller and more sensible man had to drag his eccentric companion out of the elephant house, as he wouldn't stop commenting on the size of the animal's genitalia.
Not long after, Klavier had to drag Apollo out of the rainforest house, as the smaller man had fainted.
Some of the birds were singing melodically. Klavier decided that they were singing "Guilty Love" and joined in.
In the gift shop, Klavier was besotted with most of the plush animals. Apollo had to be the voice of reason, but struggled to fight back the urge to get a little toy goat.
