And now for something that no one saw coming. (Only one person can claim she saw this coming; she's known about it for a month)

So, my first foyer into Ace Attorney, as well as my first time writing for this ship. If you've been stalking my tumblr, you would know what this is my AA OTP.

I'm telling you this straight up; this is all pure fluff and there are spoilers for all the games (minus PLvsAA). They aren't major though. Also, assume what you will for where these are timeline wise; but assume that these are at least post-JFA

So without further aidu, let us begin!

Disclaimer: I don't own Ace Attorney in anyway. It belongs to Capcom. The only thing I own is the fic itself.

Miles was never really was used to physical contact.

He could blame it on being raised in the von Karma household or that he was afraid of getting close to another person just to have them taken away from him again like his father. Franziska had been there to comfort him when Manfred tore into them, but he still didn't allow for anyone to get close to him. Even when he became a prosecutor and had many people that were after him, he still wouldn't let anyone in.

Then there was Phoenix Wright.

Phoenix...His childhood friend, the person who'd sent him countless letters, his rival in court, the person who saved him, the person he trusted more than anyone else..and the person he cared for more than anyone else.

It had taken him a while for him to realize he cared for the other man in such a way. Then again, he'd always been their for him; when they were children and there for him when he'd changed into the Demon Prosecutor, even going as far as to become an attorney to save him. And when Phoenix finally admitted his feelings for him after the Engarde case, it was a huge relief that the feelings he had weren't one-sided.

Though their relationship was still new in someways. Miles wasn't that used to physical contact, especially holding hands. He used to hold his father's hand all the time, along with hugs and the like. Then when he was adopted into the von Karma household, he only had Franziska to comfort him when Manfred tore into them. Phoenix seemed to understand this and promised to take it as slow as needed. He hadn't held Phoenix's hand since they were children (they did it all the time back then) and before they were in a relationship, after his trial in which Phoenix came up to him and grabbed his hands saying, "Miles you're innocent. You were always innocent." and all Miles could do then was nod and mumble a soft "Thank you Wright".

And when they did hold hands once their relationship started, Miles was shocked at how right it felt. Phoenix's hand was warm, but more than that was how he felt. It felt comforting and safe; like he could trust him with everything. Their hands fitted together just right, and most of the time Phoenix would give him a comforting squeeze, which Miles was more than happy to return.

And so it became a regular thing, something they were both happy about. Miles was a little tentative towards showing his affection in public, but Phoenix helped him with that. Most of the time it was after they were done with court or when one of them welcomed the other home.

And though he would probably never admit it to Phoenix, he always felt safe when his strong hands were around his.

And he would treasure it, forever.

I'm also cross-posting this to my AO3 account as well. And this was technically written on July 31st, so that's when this challenge started. Hopefully I can keep up with this for a month!
