"Ok....... bye Maya.... I'll see you soon......... bye...... Maya I really need to go. Ill be late......... Bye," I hung up. I continued my walk to the prosecutor's office. I had a meeting with a witness at 11 and but the time I has finished talking to Maya, it was already 10:45 meaning I had fifteen minutes to do a 20 minute walk.

I speed-walked, trying not to look like an idiot, which ended well. I made it into my office at 10:59. I had just sat down when I heard a knock on the door, "Come in."

"Miss (L/n), the witness is here. Can I send him in?"

"Yes, Gumshoe. Send him in."

He pulled the witness in and I was shocked at who it was, "Nick?!"

"Oh, hi, (Y/n). I didn't know it was you that was prosecuting the case."

"Well Nick, I just need you to tell me what you saw. The truth please. Gumshoe, you're dismissed."

He left the office closing the door behind him leaving me with Nick, "So, Nick what did you see?"

"Before we start this, I just wanted to say that, the guy they arrested is actually guilty, saw it with my own eyes. Victim...."

He told me everything, and it lined up with what all the witnesses said so I could trust him. Not that I didn't trust him anyway. He left leaving me to be slightly more relaxed about the case knowing I would win.

The end of the day came and I walked over to the lift getting in before hearing a shout from behind me, "Miss (Y/n), wait!" I turned round to see Edgeworth running up to the lift, "So is there a reason why the Great Miles Edgeworth is taking a lift, or have you given up with stairs?"

"I just got over my fear actually."

"Well, lets get this lift moving then shall we?" He nodded and I pressed the down button. The lift suddenly stopped and I started to panic, claustrophobia. I hunched into a ball in the corner.

EDGEWORTH'S POV

The lift stopped suddenly and I started to internally panic. Truth was, I hadn't got over my fear, I just told (Y/n) that so she wouldn't ask about DL-6. I would have hunched into a ball in the corner, if I hadn't spotted (Y/n) doing that exact thing already. I walked over to her and crouched down next to her lifting her head in my hand, (Y/n), are you claustrophobic?" She nodded. I sat down, placing her head in my lap comforting her, "It's ok. You'll be fine (Y/n). Just breathe, the walls aren't closing in on you, don't worry." I kept speaking calmly to her before she jolted scared and hid her face in my chest quietly sobbing. I took her chin in my hand lifting it up for her to look at me, "(Y/n), this isn't helping is it?" She shook her head, "What if I tried this?" I asked before leaning in and placing a kiss on her lips. I watched her face go bright red and her eyes widen before she wrapped her arms round my neck. I placed mine on her waist feeling her smile into the kiss. This kept on for a while until we heard the lift doors open and a shout, "I ship it!"We turned round to see the electricians (Do they work with lifts?) there with Franziska, Maya and Wright. It was Maya who shouted, "Finally!"

We were both bright red and we stood up walking out the lift and deciding to take the stairs. We walked in silence until I spoke up, "You know, (Y/n), I'm not scared anymore. Thanks to that, I'm not scared of lifts." She giggled and kissed my cheek, "Yeah? Well, I think I've got over my claustrophobia, now. Thanks to you." I smiled and kissed her again.

"You know, Maya's been waiting for this to happen. She's always been teasing me about my crush on you.Why do little sister's have to be so annoying?"

"Yeah I get what you mean, Franziska's been bugging me about my crush on you."

"I hope you can put up with having Nick and Maya around more. We're all going out for dinner this evening and you're coming too!" (Y/n) smiled looking at me expectantly.

"Yes I'll come. To keep you happy."
