"Miss (L/n), you're required to testify at tomorrow's trial."

I shook my head.

"Listen, (Y/n), I know you're shy, but don't you want to help find the truth of who killed your brother?"

I nodded and took my pad of paper out, writing on it, 'I'm sorry, Mr Edgeworth, but I don't feel comfortable with it. Even if I did, then how would it work? I can't talk.'

"I know what it's like losing someone close to you, (Y/n). If you don't feel comfortable with it, then you don' have to."

I smiled up at him before turning back to my pad and drawing a picture on it. I tore the page out and handed it to him, 'Thank you for not making me relive the experience again.' before walking off back to the Agency.

—————————-

When I arrived at the Agency, Trucy and Athena were no where to be seen, same for Mr Wright, and Apollo was sitting on the sofa looking at a file. I walked over and sat down next to him, bringing my paper out, 'What'cha doing, Polly?' I handed him the paper.

"Looking over a case file. The trial's tomorrow and I don't have any evidence to prove my client innocent. I don't suppose you know anything about the case, do you?" I pointed to the file, silently asking to have a look at it. He handed it to me, "Here. Know anything?" I read through it and nodded, 'Mhm. The victim is my brother.'

"Oh. (Y/n), I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up."

'It's fine, Apollo. I've just been talking to Mr Edgeworth about it you know, cause I witnessed it. That's where I've been.'

He smiled sadly and pulled me into his side, stroking my back and letting my cry my sadness out. I wrapped my arms around him and smiled, 'Thank you.'

"Are you going to testify tomorrow?"

I shook my head, confusing him, "Why?" I look up at him, unimpressed, with a 'Are you actually fucking kidding me?' Look on my face. I took my pad out again, 'How am I supposed to testify if I can't speak?'

"Oh yeah...." he replied rubbing his spikes, "Makes sense."

This is why fell it love with you. You're so adorable.

'But, I know that Chris would never kill him, he and Will were best friends, that and the fact that I saw a girl running out of the flat, with blood all over her clothes.... so I'd bet she was the one that killed him.'

"(Y/n), you have to testify tomorrow! Please! It'll help my case if you do!"

I sighed and wrote on my pad again, 'I'll think about it...' He smiled, "Thank you." I returned the smile and hugged him.

——————————

It was now the final day of the trial and I noticed Apollo was having a hard time... I tapped his shoulder during a recess, 'Apollo, I'm ready to testify.' His smile increased, "Thank you, (Y/n)! I could just kiss you right now!"

This shocked me and my face lit up red. It seemed Apollo realised what he had said too as his face went the same colour as his waistcoat, "I'm sorry, (Y/n). That cam-"

I shut him up by leaning up and quickly kissing him. I stood back on my own feet and too my pad out, 'It's okay, Apollo, I love you too.' His face lit up again, "Can I kiss you again then? Properly?" I nodded and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him into me and kissing him again. I soon felt his arms wrapping around my waist and I dropped my pad on the ground. I didn't care then, I just wanted to savour the moment. We soon broke off and I picked my pad up again, 'Good luck today, Apollo. I know you'll win.'

And so, I testified, somehow and Apollo ended up winning the case and let's just say, I ended up getting more than kisses as a reward for being helpful in the trial...


In the form of ice cream... a lot of ice cream and chocolate...
