Chapter Text
It was an early afternoon,Edgeworth was sitting at his office desk organizing his papers for the
upcoming case.There was one thought he couldn’t shake from his mind.He scratched the back of his hand,grabbed a pen and wrote down the name.The name of the man he couldn’t stop thinking about.Phoenix Wright.
“Of all the people,why did I have to fall for him?” He questioned himself.Not expecting a reply,he leaned back.
“For who,Mr Edgeworth?”A voice from behind the door asked.It trailed inside the room.It was Gumshoe.
Edgeworth sipped his tea,legs crossed on his swivel chair.
“How is that any of your buisness?''He grumbled as he grabbed the paper containing the name.Unluckily for him,Gumshoe was quick and snatched the paper from his hand.
“Hey!Give me that!”He jumped up out of his seat.
“Phoenix Wright?Didn’t think that would be the ‘true love’ of the head prosecutor.”Gumshoe teased.Waving the paper higher than Edgeworth,he was unable to grab the sheet.Persistently,he jumped upon his desk to retrieve the peice.
“Don't speak of this!To anyone!”He spoke in a snap,Screwing up the name,acting as if he didn’t care for the man.It was an uncommon occurrence for Edgeworth showing a care for someone,especially someone in the defense attorney.
“I can’t promise anything.”Gumshoe muttered in a joking tone.
“Oh yes you can and you know it,don’t be stupid Gumshoe!”He complained as he sat in his chair,doing odd hand gestures.
“Alright,alright,I won’t!”He uttered.As he left,he added “Maybe!”
Edgeworth sighed and leant back in his chair,he only realized he has pulled his back in after sitting down.He stretched,mind filled with worry.Nobody could trust Gumshoe,especially after he said ‘i'll be leakier than a discount diaper’ with full seriousness.Who could trust Gumshoe after that anyway?As he got back to his papers,he could feel the tiredness dawning on him and soon,his world fell black.4th time this week…
Suddenly,Phoenix walked in the office of the prosecutor.He had to tell him something but noticed his state.He let out a sigh and turned for the door.He stopped.Glancing back at the man,he knew he couldn't just leave him there.He walked over to Edgeworth and awkwardly tried to pick him up,he wasn’t heavy at all.Now what to do with him?He thought for a moment.He took him to the only place he could.Wright’s house.It wasn’t a fancy place.A mere apartment with a crooked table near the kitchen.The cold, wooden floor would shock anyone who walked barefoot on it.The walls a plain white.Phoenix stepped into the room and walked over into his bedroom.He placed him on his king-size bed and strolled out of the warm-aroma having room.He sighed to himself,if only Edgeworth how much he cared for him.
