Phoenix," Edgeworth began languidly, "Tell me, what's your problem?" Phoenix's eyes seemed to darken at this question. "What's wrong with me?" He scrolled through his fingers. fingers through the obsidian pointed at his head, forcing himself to stay calm. He didn't want to say anything he would later regret. "I don't know what you're talking about." He frowned. It had been a few weeks since he had confessed his feelings for the lawyer; something he had not wanted to do, but he would say that something in his mind had caused him to do so, much to his surprise. However, while they had gone out together, the lips of Phoenix avoided him every time he tried to grab them with his. This was more disheartening than he would have already admitted if it had all been a mistake let his doubts get to him too much, but Phoenix assured him over and over again that it didn't. it was. “Is the thought of any kind of intimacy with your partner that upsetting?” Phoenix's eyes hardened, head turning to meet Edgeworth's gaze. "Is that all you think about? Can't we just enjoy each other's company?" The prosecutor couldn't understand why Phoenix sometimes appeared so stressed. "You know that's not what I meant. I'm not promiscuous. I'm simply curious as to why you're unlikely to let me hold your hand." “I think…” Phoenix licked his dry lips, gathering the words carefully in the back of his mind. “I think maybe I got into this thing too quickly.” Edgeworth remained indignant towards him. All he could do was not get overly emotional. His worst dreams were coming true. “What do you mean by that?” “What do you think he means?” Enraged... middle of paper... do you want this?" he asked, his ash gray eyes searching dark brown for answers. He had to stop before there became a real chance to take advantage of Phoenix who realized he had forced the Phoenix's eyes clouded with emotion as he reminded himself of what a fool he had been. "I love you," he said with complete confidence. Edgeworth also showed his stupidity, looking at Phoenix as if he had been crushed. "I love you." Edgeworth had been true to his feelings for so long, that it finally drew Edgeworth closer; Their bodies spoke a language they would never know, blending a symphony of pure bliss. Phoenix knew – and probably had always known – that it was something he could never give up. After all, he wasn't an idiot.
