Prompt: Was originally going to use the same as the Athena oneshot I wrote, "I know the signs...you can't hide from me, (Name)." but now, I'm struggling to fit it in, so the prompt gave me the idea, but it's not used in the oneshot (:
Timing: After SoJ, so, therefore, spoilers for the ending...
Other notes: You're already dating him in this. Because we don't get to see much of the Justice Law Offices in Khura'in at the end of SoJ, I will be improvising with some/most of the layout.
-----------
When Apollo decided to stay in Khura'in after the peace had been restored and Ga'ran had been stopped, I wasn't as surprised as the rest of the Wright Anything Agency. I knew that it's what Apollo knew was right for him to do and it was his own decision, however, what I wasn't expecting was for him to ask me to stay with him. Of course, I said yes, with him being my boyfriend, but Trucy made me promise to either facetime or call every night. I agreed to Trucy's terms and waved her, Athena and Mr Wright off as they boarded the plane back to America.
I sighed and leaned my head on Apollo's shoulder happily, "Thank you."
"For what? I've done nothing," he replied rubbing the spikes on his head that he called hair. Why he spent half an hour every morning gelling them, I have no idea. If I were him, I'd get an extra half hour in bed.
"For letting me stay with you, Polly. I couldn't imagine my life without you in it. Thank you for being there for me throughout it all. And well done on restoring Khura'in's Legal Syster, Polly. I'm proud. Love ya," I replied pecking his cheek.

It was a few weeks later when I had returned after a case that I discovered something about Apollo that I never thought I would... Something I didn't expect him to do. I walked into the Justice Law Offices to see Apollo nowhere to be found. This was odd because usually, he'd be running around all over the place trying to sort out evidence for the hundreds of cases he had at one time, however, he wasn't.
"Apollo?! You here?!"
Nothing.
"Polly?!"
Again, nothing.
"APOLLO JUSTICE! THIS IS YOUR GIRLFRIEND SPEAKING IF YOU DON'T COME OUT NOW GODDAMN IT I'M GOING TO NEED ANOTHER ATTORNEY IN KHURA'IN TO DEFEND ME!"
Nothing. That was until I heard quiet sobbing coming from the small bathroom in the Offices, which just had a toilet and a sink in. I put my bag down before following the sound to hear words, "Why? Why does everything have to go wrong for me?! Why can't I just have one thing that goes right?!" before the crying started again. I gasped, it was Apollo. I knocked on the closed door, "Apollo, can I come in?"
There was the sound of the door unlocking before it opened and Apollo flung himself onto me, "You'll never leave me will you, (Y/n)?"
"No, I'll never. I'd never dream of it, Apollo. I'll be here for you, I promise."
"Really? You won't die? Or get killed? Or disappear? Leave me behind? Or-" I pecked his lips to shut him up, "Nothing. I'll never leave you."
"Thank you. I-I'm fi-" he broke down again, and sobbed onto me. I rubbed his back and led him over to the sofa, sitting down and letting Apollo rest against me. I continued to rub his back and whisper sweet nothings into his ear to calm him down. That was until the door to the Offices opened, "Apollo, there's a cli-"
"Nahyuta, do me a huge favour and deal with them please? We need a few min-" I was cut off with another sob and I turned my attention back to Apollo, "Shh, calm. It's okay. Don't worry, Apollo. Calm." Nahyuta nodded and walked back out, presumably talking to the wannabee client standing outside the Offices, waiting to talk to Apollo. Eventually, the crying turned into sniffles and these sniffles turned into silence. It was when I tried to get Apollo off of me to stand up, that I realised he was asleep. I smiled and managed to get him off of me without waking him before adjusting him so he could sleep comfortably on the sofa without being sore when he woke up. I smiled and kissed his forehead, "Sleep well, Polly. I promise I'll never leave you, ever. You've been through so much bad stuff that you didn't deserve to happen. You don't deserve to have had to go through any of this. I promise I will be there for you, and sometimes it's okay not to be fine."

Another one done! This is the last one for today as it's now 9pm for me so I has to sleeps soon... and I'm tired.
