Ace Attorney X Reader One Shots Vol. 2

Foreign Love (Machi Tobaye x Reader)

Foreign Love (Machi Tobaye x Reader)

A/N: Reader is the same age as Machi and is a background vocalist for Lamiror. For Borginese, I will be using wingdings with translations.

Your Pov:

I sat in the dressing room, applying the finishing touches to my costume. Machi sat across from me in silence.

I turned to him. "💣︎♋︎♍︎♒︎♓︎📪︎ ♋︎❒︎♏︎ ⍓︎□︎◆︎ ♋︎●︎❒︎♓︎♑︎♒︎⧫︎✍︎ (Machi, are you alright)?" He looked at me, his eyes shifting behind his sunglasses. "✋︎🕯︎❍︎ ♐︎♓︎■︎♏︎📬︎ 🕈︎♏︎ ⬧︎♒︎□︎◆︎●︎♎︎ ♒︎♏︎♋︎♎︎ ⧫︎□︎ ⧫︎♒︎♏︎ ⬧︎⧫︎♋︎♑︎♏︎ ■︎□︎⬥︎📬︎ (I'm fine. We should head to the stage now)."

We met up with Lamiror and led her to the stage's wings as we waited. The lights dimmed and we took our spots on stage.

Lamiror next to Mr. Gavin, Machi at the piano, and me next to the piano with a microphone on its stand.

The music began.
...

I hummed into the microphone as we waited for Lamiror to appear on the far platform. As she appeared, she sung the next line.

"Burning on in my heart. Fire~ Burn my love away...All away~"

I caught sight of Mr. Gavin's guitar catching on fire as he stumbled back. As the next line began, I tried to focus.

"Like a bullet of love..."

"Love~"

"Fire~ Take my life away. All away~"

"Away~"

Then, something happened. A gunshot echoed in my ears and a searing pain filled my senses. I collapsed on the stage floor as blood leaked from my wound. The audience seemed to think it was part of the act from the way they awwed in amazement.

My gaze met Machi's and I caught his concerned gaze as he continued to play the piano.

As the song ended, the curtains on the stage closed. The arena fell silent as the audience was escorted out for another 'intermission'. I heard footsteps approach and stop next to me.

"Quick! Call an ambulance!"

"She's been shot! Who did this?!"

"(Y/n)!"

I turned my head towards the voices. "L-Lamiror..." She kneeled down next to me. "You're going to be alright. Don't worry. Machi and I are here." Machi kneeled on the other side of me, holding my hand.

"✋︎🕯︎❍︎ ⬧︎□︎❒︎❒︎⍓︎📬︎ ✋︎ ⬧︎♒︎□︎◆︎●︎♎︎🕯︎❖︎♏︎ ♌︎♏︎♏︎■︎ ❍︎□︎❒︎♏︎ ♍︎♋︎❒︎♏︎♐︎◆︎●︎ (I'm sorry. I should've been more careful)..."

With those last words, everything went black.
...

No One's Pov:

You were rushed to the hospital in critical condition. You were losing blood steadily. But soon after your own incident, Mr. LeTouse was found dead in Lamiror's dressing room.

The police classified the incidents as one murder and one attempted assassination. The police weren't sure if you'd live, so the charges were at a standstill until further notice.

Machi was arrested for the murder not even a few hours later, but he was also charged with staging the attempted assassination on you. The search for any accomplice led the police to a dead end. They believed that the gun used to kill Mr. LeTouse was different from the one used to shoot you. But that gun had yet to be found.

Lamiror was escorted to the hospital and currently waited in the waiting room for any news. She didn't want to lose you, for losing you would be like losing a piece of herself. And with Machi in prison, she felt truly alone.
...

Your Pov:

I woke up in a bright white hospital room. My wound was bandaged and the pain was mostly gone. I sat up and looked around. The door opened and the doctor entered, followed by Lamiror. The doctor spoke.

"It seems our patient is awake."

Lamiror came by my side. "(Y/n), are you alright? This should not have happened..." I looked at her. "I'm fine now. Don't worry. Where's...Where's Machi?" Lamiror tensed. "He...He has been arrested. For Mr. LeTouse's murder and your attempted assassination..."

I swallowed the lump in my throat. "But why? Machi couldn't have possibly-" She cut me off. "Yes, I know. But we must wait and hear the truth. He has an excellent attorney..." I looked down at the blankets, gripping them tightly in my fists.

"We will see about that..."
...

And a few days later, Machi was declared innocent of both incidents, but he was to remain in America to serve out his sentence for smuggling.

As I sat in front of him in the detention center, I smiled.
