Rated: K+

I'm thinking about him holding you. There's nothing much that I can do. The seconds into minutes. The minutes into hours. The future is his and the past is ours.

Phoenix sank down on his bed. Fatigue, disappointment, and anger mixed into one in his chest. It hurt him more than when he was accused of stealing lunch money or when he was accused of killing someone. Indeed, his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Maya Fey, has ended months ago. When they were dating, they often fight, and Maya often jealous of Phoenix's women client so they decided to end their relationship. Still, he was not ready to accept this. Although their relationship has ended. He could not accept the fact that he had just seen this afternoon, when he saw his best friend since childhood, Miles Edgeworth, and Maya affectionately hold hands in the park.

"You know, Miles. I. fall. In. Love. With. You, " Phoenix could hear Maya's voice clearly from a distance. Edgeworth looked a little uncomfortable at first.

"Actually, I also have the same feeling with you, Maya. But... how's with Wright? He loved you very much. And he is my best friend. I don't want to betray him." said Edgeworth, sounding unconvinced. Maya's snort laugh audibly.

"Nick? He is my past. My past that I would never remember further. And you are my future, Miles. You didn't betray anyone. I've no longer anything to do with Nick. "Then Phoenix saw Edgeworth smiled, then kissed Maya's hands with tenderness.

Dug! With feelings of anger, disappointment, and refrain from punching Edgeworth, Phoenix kicked a stone in the park very hard and walked back toward his house.

How dare you, Edgeworth! I love her! I still love Maya with all my soul! shouted Phoenix angrily inwardly. He squeezed his hand, then shook his head and buried his head into his hands.

No. I have no right to be jealous. Me and Maya's relationship had ended months ago. Maya has a right to love anyone she wants to love. Likewise with Edgeworth. He has right to love Maya. But still.... His heart ached. As pierced by the thorns taken from roses.

-Flash forward-

They tell me I should just move on. It's easier said than done.

Phoenix had lunch with Larry at the Tres Bien restaurant. When they eat only a few mouthfuls, Maya and Edgeworth entered inside the restaurant, arms around each other. Edgeworth came to the table, and say hello to Larry.

"Hello, Larry! How are you? "asked Edgeworth while hugging and struck Larry's back softly.

"I'm fine, Edgey," said Larry.

"And, uh, how are you doing, Wright?" asked Edgeworth timidly. Phoenix didn't reply, he turned away his head and pretended to read the menu.

"Nick had a toothache, Edgey," quipped Larry. "You come here alone?"

Edgeworth shook his head. "No, I, uh, came along .......er....with my girlfriend." Edgeworth replied awkwardly as he pointed his finger towards Maya who was sitting across the table. Uncomfortable silence occurred. Phoenix squeezed the menu list which he held up to be crumpled and destroyed, but he didn't say anything. Larry raised his eyebrows, looking surprised.
