"...What do you mean headline Miles?"

"I don't know! That's why I told Gumshoe to be brought around."

"I bet you committed a murder or a fraud."

Phoenix chuckles and Edgeworth looks over at him with a glare.

"We're not doing that again Wright."

"Right right, Sorry."

"Now get yourself dressed Wright."

Phoenix chuckles and kisses his forehead. Edgeworth smiles a bit and starts to get himself dressed. Phoenix does the same. Edgeworth looks at his couch for any stains.

"No evidence left behind..Perfect."

"Yeah, until Ema comes in."

Edgeworth nods his head. After they were done getting dressed and fixing their hair. Gumshoe knocked on the door.

"Sir! Can I come in?"

"Phoenix go open the door."

Phoenix walks to the door and unlocks it. He opens the door for Gumshoe to come inside. Gumshoe walks inside.

"Sir! Have you seen anything yet?"

"Tch, no I haven't. Now what do you mean I'm on the news?"

"Well.. people saw you buy a few things, but I suppose you didn't ask for a bag sir. They saw you buy flowers, a teddy bear. Small little rumors became a whole debate."

Edgeworth was speechless. He was unsure of what even to say.

"People are speculating that you have some sort of love interest."

"How did this little rumor occur?"

"The.. bears and flowers sir. Granted you both have enemies and fan alike, so most likely the fans started it and your enemies might try to bring you down with that."

Edgeworth sighs and rubs his face.

"This is going to be the debate of the century. When it's not even needed."

"Well.. What will you do about it boss?"

Phoenix looks at Edgeworth who looks a bit stressed. He decided to chip in,

"We can let them figure it out slowly."

Gumshoe shrugs and Edgeworth looks at him.

"You know that might ruin my name and reputation."

"But you have enemies anyway, and let alone they can't run to anyone else anyway. Oh prodigy."

Edgeworth shakes his head and sighs. Gumshoe looks at both of them.

"Am I missing the key information here? Do you know who Edgeworth likes?"

"Well, yeah. But I don't know if Edgeworth will allow me to say."

Edgeworth nodded his head, giving him permission to say.

"Well.. It's me. I'm the mysterious lover. This fricking idiot just didn't know how to say it."

Gumshoe blinks a few times to comprehend what he just said.

"...Sir?"

"Yes Gumshoe?"

"How come you didn't tell me?"

"There's a lot of things that I don't tell people. Even those who are close to me."

Gumshoe shakes his head.

"So, how come you won't just put it out there with one picture?"

Phoenix chuckles.

"That's simple detective. He does everything the long and extra way. Again why I say he couldn't even tell me straight to my face."

Gumshoe nods his head.

"Well sir, I'll be at the Criminal affairs department as per usual if you need me!"

Edgeworth nods his head and sighs, looking up.

"Miles?"

"Yes Wright?"

"We could just take a picture and let the public figure that out. I mean, you're still the scary prosecutor everyone knows."

"..True."

Phoenix sits down on the couch and looks at him.

"So what's the plan?"

"The plan? More or less. Probably take the long route as you stated I'll most likely take."

Phoenix chuckles and shakes his head.

"Miles.. What are you going to do?"

"Take you out on a date, let a few people take pictures. Then hit them with a big bang. Sounds fair Phoenix?"

"Meh, do I except anything less and anything simpler from you Miles?" 

"You really shouldn't."

"Yeah, figured."
