The Lovely Hostage (Miles Edgeworth x Kidnapped! Reader)

Your Pov:

"Shut the door. Turn the light off. I wanna be with you. I wanna feel your love. I wanna lay beside you. I cannot hide this. Even though I try..."

I laid in bed, waiting for Miles to get home from the office. I jumped as a creak rang out loudly from the hallway. Maybe Miles was home early? I laid down and pretended to be asleep, knowing he'd scold me for staying up late. The door creaked open just as loudly and footsteps crossed the room towards the bed.

Suddenly, a cloth was pressed over my mouth. I struggled as someone's arms wrapped around me. In my struggle, I knocked over a lamp. Then, my eyes shut as I slipped into a dark unconsciousness.

Hours later...

I woke up in a dark room. A small window allowed a bit of moonlight to seep through. In the room was nothing but a dirty sheet and ratty pillow. My hands were tied to the wall behind me. A 3 foot rope connected me the the wall. Footsteps sounded outside the room, gradually getting closer. I sat against the wall, bringing my legs to my chest. The door opened.

A man I had never seen before stepped into the room. He was older and wore a butler's outfit. He spoke, "Awake are we?" I stayed silent. He tsk'd, "Oh, well, I have ways to make you talk if you wish to be difficult..."

To Edgeworth...

No One's Pov:

Miles Edgeworth arrived to a quiet and dark house. The atmosphere felt heavy and tense. He walked quietly up the stairs, not wanting to wake
(Y/n). The bedroom door was open. Alarms started going off in his mind. He stepped into the room, immediately spotting the disheveled bed and the broken lamp on the floor.

Then, he spotted that oh so familiar calling card on the floor. He called the police and they came almost immediately. They scoured the house from top to bottom but there was no sign of (Y/n) or her kidnapper. Miles stared out the open window into the dark night, a single tear falling.

"Heart beats harder. Time escapes me. Trembling hands touch skin. It makes this harder. And the tears stream down my face. If we could only have this life. For one more day. If we could only turn back time, you know I’ll be your life, your voice, your reason to be. My love, my heart is breathing for this
moment in time. I’ll find the words to say. Before you leave me today..."

Back to (Y/n)...

The ropes had rubbed my wrists raw but that paled in comparison to the rest of my body. My eye was swelling, my nose was bleeding, my ribs were bruised, my stomach had one big black bruise, and my back had been kicked. Crying only caused more pain.

I leaned against the wall, coughing. Blood and phlegm splattered on the stone floor, only able to be seen by the faint moonlight through the overcast sky. I just wanted to go home to Miles. I wanted him to hold me in his arms and tell me everything was going to be alright...

"Close the door. Throw the key. Don’t wanna be reminded. Don’t wanna be seen. Don’t wanna be without you. My judgment's clouded. Like tonight's sky..."

To Edgeworth...

The police searched for (Y/n) for days. With the calling card as their only clue, they tried to track down the culprit, but had no luck. Miles was angry with them. How incompetent could they actually be? He decided to investigate himself. When he came up empty handed, he grew frustrated.

He needed to know that she was ok. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if she left him like...his father.

His vocal cords grew sore from his anger spells. She was alive. He knew it, but he just didn't know where...

"Hands are silent. Voice is numb. Try to scream out my lungs. It makes this harder. And the tears stream down my face..."

"If we could only have this life for one more day...If we could only turn back time...You know I’ll be your life, your voice, your reason to be. My love, my heart is breathing for this moment in time. I’ll find the words to say. Before you leave me today..."

With (Y/n)...

With another day came another round of painful blows to my body. I was beginning to doubt that Miles was even looking for me anymore. My body was becoming even more numb as I coughed up more blood. Then, from outside the small window I heard sirens in the distance. Through the pain, I smiled. Miles was coming to save me. I laid on my side.

I coughed heavily. Footsteps pounded on the floor outside as the room began to swim before my eyes. The door opened, revealing Gumshoe and some other police officers. Gumshoe said something I couldn't hear over the blood pumping in my ears.

Then, everything went black.

"Flashing lights in my mind going back to the time. Playing games in the street. Kicking balls with my feet. There’s a numb in my toes.
Standing close to the edge. There’s a pile of my clothes at the end of your bed. As I feel myself fall, make a joke of it all..."

Time Skip...

I woke up in a hospital bed. I blinked, adjusting to the harsh light. My whole abdomen was bandaged but a dull pain remained. The door opened, revealing Miles. He quickly approached me, "(Y/n)...you're awake! Do you need me to call the doctor?" I shook my head, "No, Miles. I just want you to hold me. Please." I sat up and hugged him. His arms gently wrapped around me. He spoke, "It's alright..."

He continued, "We caught the man who took you. I'll make sure he stays locked up for a long time. I love you."

I smiled, "I love you too..."

"You know I’ll be your life, your voice, your reason to be. My love, my heart is breathing for this moment in time. I’ll find the words to say. Before you leave me today..."
