Out of all the people I fell in love with, why him?
Wright left Edgeworth's office after the whole ordeal. It rushed beyond fast than anything. He's just questioning how this all played out. I mean honestly, it's not even that hard. Just do it discreetly and nobody would've known! But no, he had to do everything over the top now look at the mess they're in. People say Edgeworth is so detail orientated and organized. But really, behind closed doors, he's more messier than anything. Phoenix was walking back to the office, sighing loudly to himself. He proceeds to think to himself,
Why not just keep it under wraps? I mean.. yes he's such a famous prosecutor but even so, not everyone has to know.
Phoenix kept on walking to the office, wondering to himself how he fell in love with an idiot such as him. He knows Edgeworth ever since they were little. He knows how he can get. It doesn't have to drag out this far. He sighs still. But by the time he put his keys into the door and opened the door, there stood Edgeworth. He jumped back out of surprise.
"H-how the hell did you get in here Edgeworth?!"
"Maya let me in, I thought you gotten back by now. But you didn't, so I proceeded to wait for you."
Phoenix sighs to himself, wondering what the hell to do with Edgeworth. He looks at Edgeworth and walks inside, and closes the door.
"Edgeworth.."
"..Yes Phoenix?"
"You know, out of everything you have done in your life this is extreme. Even for you."
"I know. More so, it backfired.. majorly."
"I noticed. But Edgeworth, you don't have to prove anything to anyone. We can just.. keep it to ourselves. After all, you and I have a reputation to maintain yes?"
"..I completely forgotten about that after that.. little.. set up I put together.. it wasn't the greatest."
"No duh. But let alone, I did like the gifts you did get. But.. Why the little keychain I gotten you?"
Edgeworth takes it out from his pocket.
"Everything was a gift Wright.. except this. This is forever a treasure to me. I kept this ever since grade school, reminding me that you, Larry, and I were not the best of friends, but the love I kept for you Phoenix Wright."
Phoenix was stunned by his response. Only a smile appears on his face.
"Was it that hard Miles?"
"What do you mean Wright?"
"For you to do what you just did instead of doing the whole set up that you did, including letting the public know."
Phoenix chuckles a bit. Edgeworth gives a small smile.
"Miles?"
"Yes Phoenix?"
"You're the same person as ever that I fell in love with. How funny is that?"
"Very."
They both chuckle as they look at each other.
"Miles what are you doing later after this whole ordeal is over and done with?"
"..Probably go against you for a new case that occurred."
"What?!"
"Yes, you haven't heard of it yet?"
Phoenix groans as he shook his head.
"I was beyond busy, trying to get files sent in left and right, let alone doing taxes. What's the case this time?"
"Funny enough, it's about a romantic murder."
"What do you mean?"
"Jealously. Usual motive for murder."
"Oh.. Great. Why something dealing with a romantic murder?"
Edgeworth laughs a bit. Looking at Wright.
"Just to keep that little mood of ours alive."
"What the fact that I'm still trying to understand your thought process of what the hell you done?"
"...Listen here Phoenix Wright, I will take you down in court if you keep bringing that up."
"Even Detective Gumshoe and Maya thinks that was beyond excessive."
"That's it. Your client will get a guilty verdict. One way or another. Understand me?"
Phoenix nods his head slowly.
"Sure thing Edgeworth. Moreover, you do realize that at this point I have a nickname. You know that right?"
"What's that?"
"Turnabout Wright."
"Why?"
"I tarnished every prosecutor's perfect record and somehow by-pass their tactics that would seem impossible to take down. What else?"
Edgeworth rolls his eyes. Dismissing what Phoenix had said.
"Whatever Wright. Just know, you better be prepared to lose."
"Whatever you say Miles."
"Good day to you Wright."
Phoenix gets up and walks to Miles. Kissing his cheek.
"See you then Edgeworth."
A small smile appears on Edgeworth. He looks back at him.
"You wish to know something Phoenix?"
"Yes?"
"You want to know why that I did something the most unusual for a confession?"
"Why then?"
"You made me lose my logic. I couldn't think straight for anything."
Phoenix smiles at that and kisses him softly and tenderly. Miles returns the kiss, wrapping his arms around Phoenix's neck gently. Phoenix looks at Miles with a smile. Only thinking to himself.
It had to be him....and I'm glad it was.
