Sometimes, Mistakes Can Be Fixed (Apollo x Cheater! Reader)

So, this randomly came to me. I know what the title says, but please read the oneshot before saying anything. Also, this might be shit due to the fact that I haven't written an Ace Attorney oneshot in ages.

Also, ever so slight mentions of self-harm and depression (But it's not the main part of the oneshot) This is set after Spirit of Justice by the way, but as if the ending didn't happen (So the bit that concerns Apollo's choices).

Also, slight spoilers for Dual Destinies.

OH shit. No no, no no, no. This was not supposed to happen! I shot out of the bed and got dressed. Shit! How am I supposed to face Apollo after this has happened?! The whole walk to the Agency was filled with these sorts of questions to myself. I was drunk though. No! I still cheated on him. Drunk or not, I still cheated on him and I feel horrible! I continued the walk to the Agency and when I arrived, I curled up on the sofa, not caring whether anyone else was in the Agency or not, and started softly crying and muttering to myself.

"I'm such a horrible person. How could I do that to Apollo?! I can't believe that I did that. Why did I have to get drunk? Why can't I hold my alcohol well?!"

"(Y/n), is that you?"

"Mr Wright! I d-didn't know you were here!" I squeaked, quickly wiping my tears, not wanting him to see that I'm been crying.

"(Y/n), there's no point in trying to hide it, I can see you've been crying. Why?" I felt the sofa dip next to me and I flung myself onto him, crying again and letting the tears fall, "I'm such a horrible person. I've made a mistake and there's no way to undo that mistake. I wish I could do yesterday over again."

"(Y/n), shh. What do you mean?"

I took a minute to compose myself, "I cheated on Apollo and I fell bad about it and I wish I hadn't been so stupid as to let myself get drunk and I just want to do yesterday over again," I let it out, sobbing into him, making his suit wet.

"Shh, (Y/n). Apollo will understand. Listen, if you tell him and explain to him you were drunk, he'll understand and forgive you."

"I love Apollo with all my heart though and we've been dating long enough for me to know exactly how he'd react to this. It'll break his heart if I told him and I don't want him to be upset. I just don't want him to break up with me because of it. Apollo means the world to me and I don't know what I'd do without him. Apollo came into my life at the perfect time. In the year before I'd met him, I'd been battling depression due to everything that's happened to me and when I met Apollo, I just knew that there was a little bit of hope in the world. I'm especially thankful to him because the day that he confessed his love to me, was the same day that I was planning to end it all. Then when the incident at the Space Centre happened and Apollo left us, I fell into my depression again and nearly ended it all again, but once again, Apollo came at the right time. I just want to do yesterday over again. I wish it hadn't happened. Apollo's never going to forgive me for this!"

It was then that we heard the door to the Agency open and a familiar voice, "Mr Wright? We're back!"

I shot up off of the sofa and immediately pinned Apollo to the wall and kissed him passionately, wrapping my arms around his neck and tangled my fingers in his hair. It took him a minute but I soon felt him kissing me back and his hands holding my hips. By the time I'd broken off from him, the Agency had been deserted, leaving us alone. Thanks for getting everyone out, Mr Wright. I would not want to talk about this to Apollo with Trucy and Athena here too. I took a deep breath, but before I could say anything, Apollo spoke up, "(Y/n), what was that about? I thought you didn't like PDA."

"I don't usually, Apollo, but I need to talk to you about something," I replied, nervously.

"You know you can tell me anything, (Y/n). What did you want to talk about?" I took another deep breath and sat on the sofa, patting the spot next to me. Apollo sat don't next to me. I immediately flung myself onto him and sobbed, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to, Apollo! I still love you! Please don't break up with me!"

He lifted my chin so I was looking him in the eye, "(Y/n), what are you talking about? Why would I break up with you? I love you, (Y/n) and nothing is going to change that."

"Really? Even if I told you that last night I cheated on you with a random dude I didn't even know because I was drunk and I was a stupid little idiot to let myself get drunk? Cause that's what happened." I bit my lip and buried my head further into him, "Please don't break up with me! I don't know what I'd do without you, Apollo!" The only thing he did was lift my chin up again and wipe my tears, "(Y/n), I'm not going to break up with you."

"Really? You're really going to stay with me, even after I just admitted that I cheated on you?"

He nodded, "Yes, (Y/n). I understand you were drunk and I'm not going to break up with you for it. You know, it takes a lot of courage to admit to your boyfriend that you cheated on him, (Y/n). If you'd kept it from me and I found out a different way, then maybe I'd be mad at you, but because you've told me and had the courage to tell me, I respect that. I'm not going to break up with you (Y/n). Never will. If fact, there's a question I wanted to ask you. (Y/n), I was wondering whether you make me the happiest man on Earth and become my wife?" he replied, detangling himself from me and getting down on one knee in front of the sofa we'd been sitting on, and producing a ring from his pocket. I smiled, "Yes, Of course, I will!" He stood up and placed the ring on my finger and I kissed him, "I love you, Apollo."

"I love you too, (Y/n)."
