honestly ≫ a phoenix wright one-shot

A/N: All I can say is that the newly released manga compilation of this GRAND video games series is pretty queer. Oh, Edgeworth, you're at your best when you're gaying it up...!!

"Honestly?"

"Yeah."

"Oh."

Phoenix was kind of caught off guard. Well, a little…well, a LOT. His childhood friend (sort of) just confessed to him. In a very little way, really: Phoenix was just picking up in his office so he could head home, when Edgeworth walked in. He looked at him in the eye, and said, "You mean more to me than you think you do, Wright."

And then, the short conversation prior this paragraph which explained said prior conversation. Lawyer-talk is confusing.

"What…do you mean?" Wright said, scratching his temple. It was a nervous habit he really needed to work on; Maya liked to tease him by saying that's why he had some many wrinkles on his forehead (and that hurt Phoenix more than he'd like to admit). But Edgeworth was always a little direct. Not something that was necessarily a bad thing, but…

"Exactly what it sounds like," he answered. "I'm not too big on being vague, Wright. And, to be honest, I thought I'd just tell you. Does it make you uncomfortable?"

"Does what make me uncomfortable?" Another nervous habit: acting so many questions.

"The fact I'm in love with you."

"...uhh…"

"You know," Edgeworth smirked. His smile said that things were going perfectly. He looked at the floor, and then peeked back up. "I'd let you have me here right now…but if you're in a hurry…" He smiled smally.

"Y-yeah…I'm in a hurry." Phoenix was surprise to feel his own face burning. 'Have me here right now'--?! How blunt could a guy get?!! It was like he thought men were always just REARING to go…! Which they were, but Phoenix was definitely not like everyone else. That had to be his downfall.

…CRAP!

"Oh." Miles looked disappointed. "Well then…" he grumbled. He strode over, taking Phoenix's face in his hands. Giving him a quick peck on the lips, he abruptly pushed Phoenix off, as if he was coming on to him. The lawyer just stood there.

Edgeworth walked toward the door, before saying, "I swear to God, expect a sexual harassment case in your future. And you WON'T be defending anyone, if your small little brain can comprehend where I'm getting at."

Phoenix rolled his eyes.
