[Miles swallowed the lump forming in his throat and forced himself to look at the other man. Phoenix looked surprised to see him, an observation he decided to let go at the moment.]
Phoenix, I-I’m so sorry…
[He realized just how little control he had over his own limbs and the next moment his brain registered was when he was already wrapping his arms tightly around the ex-defense attorney. He buried his face into the other’s hoodie, feeling the cool locket press against his forehead. A solitary sob escaped his lips as he held on to the older man.]
F-Franziska, she was— she—
[Unable to form coherent sentences now, he simply chose to stop speaking in order to calm himself down. gripping the fabric of Phoenix’s clothes.]
[It was such a cold night, but when Miles Edgeworth demon defense attorney hugged him, it warmed a part of his heart and dammit was Edgeworth the demon prosecutor actually crying?]
(…Wait a second, Franziska?)
[That was a name he hasn’t heard in years. Ha, if she had seen him now, she’d probably give him a good whipping or two. Along with a few ‘foolish fools’ to boot.]
…
[Phoenix had went from complete shock to giving Miles a very cold glare, who did he think he was just coming back into his life like this? Where was he when he needed him, huh? No phone call, no letters, no anything. Well, maybe he had sent a few, but chances are, Phoenix just tossed it in the trash, just like everything else from his past. It was like college all over again. To say Phoenix was a bit pissed off was an understatement.]
…Good bye, Edgeworth.
[And with that, he had completely pushed Edgeworth away from him, and walked away from him as far away as possible. Eventually it had started to rain. Great, how cliche. Not only was it raining inside on the outside, but also in Phoenix’s heart. That wasn’t going to change for a long time.]
















I’m sorry did you say something, kiddo~?))
