Chapter Text
It's near the end of the second semester, news has gotten around the former math teacher, Miles Edgeworth, will be moving schools. The principle and Chief of the school, Mia Fey, was showing around the new teachers. Nahyuta Sahdmadhi was going to be the brand new math teacher at Themis middle school. The man behind him, Datz Are’bal, would be the new history teacher there as well.
“And here are the rest of my slaves.” Mia Fey joked, leading them to the teacher’s lounge. Nahyuta laughed at her joke and then waved to everyone. Although no one found the joke very funny, Datz was dying, he was practically crying with laughter. Phoenix Wright, the art teacher, leaned over and whispered to Apollo Justice.
“Who's that guy?” Mr.Justice was already out of his seat greeting the teachers.
“Nahyuta, it’s nice to see you again.” Apollo said with a warm smile.
“Same to you… It will be nice to know I will be working with a familiar face.” Nahyuta said smiling back. With that Apollo nodded and talked a little more.
Mia begin to point out a few people, and noted that he will be taking Miles’ place, “filling the hole he left in her heart. Nahyuta took note of them all.
“You’ll really meet everyone at orientation in a month, so I won’t go into real introductions now,” she added. “We can do a quick loop upstairs to see some more classrooms? You won’t really know where your room is until later, since they change all the time.”
“Yes ma’am,”Nahyuta said then scanned across the room. His gaze stoped at a tall dark man. He had black hair with a white patch on the left, a black suit with white accents. They’re eyes met, Nahyuta smiled, a heart beat.
Mia then led them upstairs. Athena smiled at her friend. Phoenix couldn't help but to notice the only splash of red burning across his face.
“Simon…” Athena purred out. “What was that?”
Simon Blackquill didn't reply.
“Miles!” Phoenix called out to him from across the room. “Thank you so much for leaving, so we can make fun of Simon about this.”
“Anything for you, Phoenix.” Miles replied.
“Who was that that holy creature, Polly? And how do you know him?” Athena asked Apollo who was curious to what was so funny.
“Oh, that was Nahyuta Sahdmadhi,” he answered. “We had a few education classes together at school but went our separate ways after a while. He knows the other guy better than I do, but I remember Nahyuta mentioned him a few times. Datz…Datz…”
“That’s what?”
“No, no, that’s his name…Datz Are’bal! Dat – uh – that’s it. That’s his name.” He looked at Simon. “Something wrong?”
“Simon’s just in awe that someone has longer and prettier hair than him,” Athena answered, elbowing him really hard.
“Nahyuta … Sahdmadhi…” Simon thought to himself.

The school day ended, Simon was walking out of his class room with Athena. He locked his classroom door and turned around to see the radiant man he saw earlier right in front of them.
“Ah, good afternoon.” Nahyuta bowed. “My name is Nahyuta Sahdmadhi.”
Simon froze. He forgot how to speak words. Athena smiled and held out her hand to shake his. She took over in the introductions.
“I'm Athena Cykes, a counselor here. This is Simon Blackquill, the psychology teacher.”
He flashed the brightest smile. Simon's legs were about to give out under him. His face was burning up.
“It is lovely to meet you both. I will see you next year.” He waved good bye and walked to the nearest exit. Simon snapped back to reality. Athena had a sly grin on her face. Simon pouted and faced away from her storming off. Athena laughed and followed him out the school.

There was a school dance that night. Simon showed up just to help around and to get over that crushing embarrassment earlier. He found the juice boxes and snatched one. He slurped down the box crushing it and grabbed another.
He just observed the children attempting to dance. As the time sped by more and more juices were slurped dry. Simon alerted the chief the were almost out of juice boxes, while drinking another juice box. Chief told Phoenix and Miles to go get some more juice. Athena was having a crazy dance off with Dick Gumshoe. Simon rolled his eyes at this horrendous display they call dancing and then went to get the juice.
Phoenix walked out with the juices in his hands. Simon snatched them out of his hand, grabbing one juice for himself. Phoenix looked up at him in shock. Athena danced near by them and snickers at Simon's actions.
“Don’t mind him. He’s been in a funk since he tried to say hello to Mr. Sahdmadhi after school and just…forgot how to speak instead.”
Phoenix snorted. “I can’t believe he’s so tongue-tied around a cute guy.”
“I can’t either, but I really look forward to seeing how much he stumbles around him next year, don’t you?”
“Oh my god, of course I do.” She laughed with Phoenix.
The dance was going great. Athena went back to he small dance off with the assistant principal doing the worst of sprinklers. Simon was getting bored and charged up to Phoenix Wright forcing him to compare hawk breeds. Phoenix went from a disappointing shut down with Mr. Edgeworth to confused debate about birds. He went with of course, Simon was too terrifying to reject.
At the end of the night Simon stayed behind to help the Chief clean up. When he finished he drove home to his apartment where he found the to be a moving truck parked outside.
“A new neighbor, huh…” Simon said quietly to himself.
He walked to his apartment door and started to search for his keys.
“What a wonderful surprise! You live here as well?” A familiar glorious voice rang from beside him. Simon whipped his head around to see the beautiful man beside him.
“Ah… I…” Speak you blundering buffoon!
“Looks like we’ll be next door neighbors as well.” Nahyuta smiled at him. Simon was trying to unlock his door as quickly as possible. Nahyuta waved at him and entered his apartment.
Simon rushed into his apartment and shut the door quickly.
“Nahyuta Sahdmadhi…Damn you…”
