“NOT GUILTY!”
Miles Edgeworth waits for Detective Gumshoe to pop the confetti.
Its always around this time where Miles Edgeworth loves to stand still and stare at his lover shrouded in colours and in all his glory. Ever since the time he lost a case to Phoenix Wright, the scene captured by his eyes are bound to embedded itself into his brain. He used to hate it due to Von Karma’s influence, but maybe, losing a case was alright.
Detective Gumshoe was a little bit distracted by the message from his girlfriend, then there it is, the sound Miles Edgeworth had been waiting for.
“what...”, miles edgeworth muttered to himself.
He couldn’t see Wright clearly this time, it was blurry, this made miles furrow his eyebrows in dissatisfaction and annoyance due to not seeing the scene and breaking his streak.
Wright who was on the other side, looked at him. “Edgeworth?” he mouthed to him. But of course, miles couldn’t see anything, he wanted to squint his eyes; so he tried.
The more his disappointment grows when the last piece of coloured paper fell. Miles closed his eyes and pinched his temples due to slight fatigue. Wright’s concern was growing, he had waited until everyone went out of courtroom #2 before approaching his lover.
Keeping his head at a swivel, he’s finally sure there’s nobody around and head his way to the other side. Phoenix held Miles’ hand with both hands. “baby? whats wrong?” Phoenix had considered to smugly tease Miles for losing, but seeing him rub his temple was enough to convince him that it was serious.
Miles reciprocated his touch by giving a gentle squeeze, He’s grateful that he could see Phoenix’s face up close. “I think im getting older” Miles chuckled.
Phoenix gave a soft laugh, it’s always the best music in miles’ ears, dare he say that its better than mozart and beethoven. “Oh come on, what’s the new update mr chief prosecutor?”
Miles smiled at him, “Glasses, mr ace attorney”
“Oh? how many fingers am i holding up” Phoenix giggled
“Wright. you’re clearly not holding anything up” He tried to be stern but phoenix would always see through him. (answer: its his little mouth quirking up)
Phoenix laughs as he clasps his arms around Miles,” c’mon mile-y cyrus, lets go get you some glasses. i’ll drive.”
“Phoenix honey, im not blind, you know that. and it would nice of you to say that once you have an actual license ”
“shhh shh”

Arriving at the eyecare shop, they were greeted by the employees.
“Hello welcome to eyecare gentlemens, who will be the one wearing the glasses?”
“Oh, the one beside me here.”
“ Alright! here is a document that you need to fill, then you can choose what glasses you want and proceed to the test okay?”
“Perfect “ Phoenix beamed as he walked to surfed the glasses option while Miles is filing in the document.
Soon after, Miles approaches Phoenix, startling the man who was deep in thoughts while holding two glasses.
“Hey handsome, you’re done with the paper?”
“mn”
Phoenix grinned and puts on one of the glasses on Miles’ face.
Yeah that was not it, he had picked that one on a whim, but it didn’t fitted him at all
he puts on the second option on miles and took a step back. “definitely...no. not it” It was too large on Miles edgeworth and it didn’t define his sharp features perfectly.... _Thats it! something sharp_
Phoenix brisked to a nearby cabinet and grabbed one.
“let’s put this on you baby” Wright gently puts it on miles and took a step back. He exhaled through his mouth. This was the perfect glasses and not to mention he looks very...attractive in it. _wright, you are in a store! save it for later_
“can i...look in a mirror?”
“y-yeah! y-yeah of course!” Phoenix directed him to a mirror.
Miles took a look at himself, nostalgia overwhelms him, he slowly but surely starts to look like his father. “Not bad Phoenix” He smiled at him, grateful for the glasses that he chose for him.
Phoenix smiled back warmly, “ready for the test?”
“mn”
~During the test
“so the ones you have on, are you comfortable with it, no dizziness? “ Asked the optometrist
“it’s comfortable.”
“do you want to walk around outside and test it?”
Without second thoughts, he nodded.
When he went outside the test room, he was welcomed with a familiar face laughing at him.
“Pfft! Miles! it looks funky on you!” Phoenix teased him. Miled had forgotten that the experimental glasses were on, he went inside back, all red.
“Is the degree alright?”
Miles considered, he did saw phoenix’s face all bright and clear, so it must be alright. he nodded
“You can head out and walk around in the mall, we’ll call you when your glasses are done, it take around 30 minutes”
“Alright” Miles got up and went out, met with an already smiling phoenix wright.
“wright.”
“oh oh come on its nothing, lets go eat, i think im too lazy to cook later.”
“in our suits?” Edgeworth grimaced at the thought of getting his cravat/jabot dirty.
“Okay what about takeouts then some tea? better?”
“definitely”
