Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Author's Notes: Written for the Phoenix Wright Kink Meme. The prompt involved the Ace Attorney characters and a disco. I'd listened to Can't Take My Eyes Off You the day before, so when I saw the prompt I just couldn't resist. It also fits in very nicely with my head-canon that Phoenix enjoys disco music quite a bit. For the lovely Ropo.
Edgeworth sighed and held his head in his hand.
He still couldn't believe that Wright had coaxed him into spending their Saturday night at a dingy nightclub. The entire place smelt of mothballs and oily fast food, and, the decor clearly hadn't been changed in the past forty years. It was an eyesore, to say the least.
And, to make matters completely and utterly worse, Wright was parading around him and chanting the lyrics to the song playing over the speakers.
Edgeworth reclined further into the red vinyl sofa propped up on the far side of the room, silently praying for this nightmarish song to end so that Wright could stop his foolish charade.
"You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off of you," Phoenix sang, flailing his arms about in what was an embarrassing attempt at dancing.
Edgeworth glanced around hastily to make sure nobody else was watching. "Wright," he hissed, bristling.
But Phoenix pressed on, grabbing Edgeworth's hand dramatically and kneeling. "Pardon the way that I stare. There's nothing else to compare!" He pressed a kiss to Edgeworth's hand. "The thought of you leaves me weak. There are no words left to speak."
Edgeworth rolled his eyes as Wright held a hand to his forehead, feigning distress. "At long last love has arrived, and I thank god I'm alive, you're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you."
As the musical interlude of the Four Seasons song piped in, Phoenix tugged at Edgeworth's hand, drawing the prosecutor immediately — and messily — to his feet.
"Phoenix!" Edgeworth pulled back in shock, but Phoenix drew him over to the dance floor as the song soared.
"I love you, Edgeworth!" he exclaimed, doing his best to hit the high notes of the song.
Oh god.
"And if it's quite alright, I need you, Edgeworth, to warm a lonely night, I love you, Edgeworth, trust in me when I say…"
With a final huff of irritation, Edgeworth yanked his hand out of Phoenix's grasp and strode off the dance floor. Phoenix paused, watching Edgeworth storm off, and then continued his exaggerated serenade to nobody in particular.
"Oh pretty Edgeworth, 'don't bring me down,' I pray, oh pretty Edgeworth, now that I've found you, stay!" He called out, shooting a bright smile at his boyfriend. "And let me love you, Edgeworth, let me love you!"
