Phoenix was quite lonely, quite lonely indeed. His boyfriend, Edgeworth was overseas on business. And because of the time difference, when it was morning for Phoenix, it was night for Edgeworth, and vice versa. So, communication was a bit challenging.

"I miss you so much." Phoenix told Edgeworth during their dayly/nightly video chat.

At this moment, Edgeworth was getting ready for work while Phoenix was turning in for the night.

"I know, darling, I miss you too. Don't fret, I'll be home again soon. Just one more week." Edgeworth said putting on his blaiser.

"If you're gonna be gone this long, I better get a souvenir out of it." Phoenix said pouting adorably.

"Haha, as you wish, my dear." Edgeworth chuckled, showing off that smile that's reserved only for Phoenix.

Phoenix lets out a yawn and begins to fall asleep at his computer.

"Maybe we should end the call here. I don't want to keep you up all night." Edgeworth said.

"Yeah, okay. Have a good day at work." Phoenix yawned.

"And you have a good night's rest." Edgeworth replied.

Both of them kiss their screens then sign off. Phoenix settles under the covers and falls asleep. The next day, Maya comes over for a visit.

"So, think you could survive another week?" Maya teased.

"Maya, I'm not a baby." Phoenix replied, rolling his eyes.

"Miles should be getting ready for bed now, I'm gonna call him." he said grabbing his laptop.

He opens the chat and waits for Edgeworth to join. When Edgeworth popped up on screen, he was toweling his hair dry, meaning he had just gotten out of the shower. 

"Hey, Miles, how was your day?" Phoenix asked him.

"Ehh, alright I guess. Though, it would've been better if I was home with you." Edgeworth answered.

Phoenix and Edgeworth talk for hours, mostly about how much they missed each other. At one point Phoenix was rambling on about something and hadn't noticed that Edgeworth had fallen asleep at his computer.

"And, then...oh." Phoenix said as he finally realized his boyfriend was asleep.

Smiling lovingly, the defense attorney just stares at the peaceful look on his sleeping boyfriend's face. 

"Haha, it's funny; when you watch a random person sleep, it's considered creepy; but if it's your boyfriend who you're watching sleep, it's sweet and endearing." Maya giggled from behind Phoenix.

"Geeze, Maya, don't sneak up on me like that!" Phoenix shrieked.

"Huh? Whaa...?" Edgeworth said, snapping awake.

"Oh, darling, I'm sorry I fell asleep on you." he apologized, rubbing his eyes.

"It's okay, honey, don't worry about it. Besides, you should be getting to bed, it's late." Phoenix told him.

"Have a good day, darling. You too, Maya." Edgeworth yawned.

"Night, Edgeworth." Maya said.

"Night, hun." Phoenix said.

The couple didn't kiss the screens this time because they knew Maya would tease them about it. When the week was over, Phoenix went to the airport to pick up Edgeworth. As soon as he saw him he immediately runs up to him and jumps into his arms.

"Oh god, it feels so good to hug you again." Phoenix said, clinging tightly to his boyfriend.

"My thoughts, exactly." Edgeworth replied returning the hug.

"So....what ya get me?" Phoenix asked excitedly.

Edgeworth bursts into laughter, of course the next thing his boyfriend would focus on was the present promised to him.
