A/N: Hello everybody! Before I start the story, I just wanted to inform everybody that I haven't played the game for 6 years now, so if you might find anything out of character, I do apologize for it. I'm writing the characters as I remember them, and as to how I think they would react.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ace Attorney, or any of their characters.

No one expected that the glimmerous fop, and his fraulein detective would hit it off well, considering how they fought for the majority of their time. It seems that the two were more similar than they thought, because surprisingly, they had the same taste for movies. Ever since they discovered it, they've been spending more together, even having a weekly schedule of Friday night to be their movie marathon. They still disagreed upon a lot of things, but for the most part, they were getting along quite well.

The two sat down on the luxurious leather couch of Klavier's apartment, both of them engrossed in the movie. They thought about widening their movie styles and opted to watch an action film for the night, but both of them knew they didn't quite enjoy it as much as they enjoyed their sappy slice of life films.

Ema tossed her empty bag of snackoos to the trash bin, stretching a bit before going back to the couch. "That movie sucked."

"You read my thoughts, Fraulein." Klavier chuckled as he combed his fingers through his blonde locks, which were down at the moment, and not in the usual braid. He felt disappointed with the movie, but, there was still time for one more. "Your turn to pick the movie, fop." The brunette broke in his thoughts as she grabbed another bag of snackoos from her messenger bag. Klavier couldn't help but think how many of those she had with her.

As Klavier scrolled through the list of movies through his large flat screen T.V, he heard Ema curse, and immediately, she had his attention. "Something wrong Fraulein?"

"Yes! Holy shit, how could I have forgotten? The qualification forensics exam is next week!" The blonde could only raise his brow at her statement. "But Fraulein detective, you've been studying hard enough. Even during working hours, ja?" Ema's face turned a shade of red, and she knew the fop was smirking.

"Shut up," She huffs, packing the snackoos back in her bag. "Look, I'll make it up for movie night." At that, she was sure Klavier was smirking. He stood from the couch and walked closer to where she was, leaning against the white walls. "Finally going to say yes?"

Ema could only roll her eyes. "I told you fop, I don't like you that way, so keep your hands to yourself. If you keep insisting on wanting more than what we have right now, I'm taking back my movies." She frowns and finally finished packing, looking at the blonde straight in the eyes. In the midst of them getting close, Klavier's feelings for Ema grew, but of course she didn't know he was interested in her in the first place. She just assumed the fop liked to flirt, and she wasn't going to let him get to her. She was his coworker, and now maybe friend, but not his fangirl.

Klavier gave a small pout, one that Ema would have to admit to herself was quite cute. "You know Fraulein, thousands of girls would kill to have me ask them for dinner." "Too bad I'm not one of them." There was a small grin on the brunette's face, and Klavier guessed that that would be enough for him.

"Will you have dinner with me if I help you review for your forensics exam?" His bright blue eyes looked as if they knew she was going to say yes. It wasn't such a bad offer really. She gets free dinner, and a free tutorial. Klavier was a prosecutor, so he did know his way around forensics, much more than she'd like to admit. She heaved a sigh and bit her lip lightly, just thinking to herself if it was worth it before finally giving in.

"Fine. But, I choose the place AND you will help me with the review. Don't use the time to flirt." She warned jokingly, but Klavier knew she was serious. "Ja, ja Fraulein. I'll behave." He smiles, feeling rather proud of himself that he finally got his beautiful Fraulein to go out with him. "Shall I see you out?" "No, no, I'm good." She brushed him off lightly. "See you tomorrow fop. I'll text you the details. And don't watch that new movie without me." And with that, Ema went on her own way.

Klavier grinned to himself, feeling like he had just had a very, very, successful concert. He was finally going to take his Fraulein detective out for dinner, and he could already feel that everything was going to be great.

"…fop?" Ema briefly looked at the blonde and let out an exasperated sigh. "Will you stop smiling at me like that, you're kind of creeping me out."

Klavier didn't stop though, however he came back to his senses. Ema took a bite of her steak and pointed to her book. "You said you would review me." "And review you I shall." The blonde grinned as he read over some of the questions in the book. Ema struggled a bit since this was the new chapter of the book that she had barely read yet, but fortunately for her, she got most of the questions correct. She just hoped she would remember everything she studied in the book.

"Why don't we take a break from reviewing for a while?" Klavier closed the put and put it on his side of the table. Ema bit her lip again. She wanted to review a bit more, but figured what they did for today was enough, after all, the fop already did his part of the deal, now she had to do hers, which was simply have dinner with him.

She savored the taste of steak in her mouth, enjoying herself. She didn't think Klavier would be the type to enjoy steak houses, but he proved her wrong. He himself was enjoying the steak, and though Ema might be unaware, he enjoyed having her with him more than eating the steak. "Hey fop?"

"Ja, Fraulein?" Ema looked at him for a bit. If he'd ask her out to dinner before their relationship got better, she was sure she would have snackooed him then. But here they were, eating dinner like good friends. Ema was definitely a smart woman, but Klavier couldn't deny that she didn't even know the first thing about love, dating, or if someone was into her. She'd bury her nose in all those science books that she might have forgotten a few lessons about human interaction.

The brunette shook her head, a small smile on her face as she finished up the last bits of the steak. "Nothing. Just thought that this probably never would have happened if you were still a glimmerous fop." Klavier raised his brow, a small smile tugging at his lips. "Oh? Are you saying I'm not a glimmerous fop anymore?"

"You still are!" Ema took it back, a pale blush dusting on her cheeks. "I-I was just saying," She composed herself a little more. "That you aren't very glimmerous anymore. You're more of… Just a fop." Both of them couldn't help but laugh. That did sound a tad bit ridiculous.

"I'll take that as a compliment then, meine liebe." Ema blinks, eyebrows furrowing a bit. "And what exactly does that mean?" "I'm not telling." Klavier grinned cheekily, and Ema could only roll her eyes. "As long as it doesn't mean glimmerous fraulein, I think I'm okay with that." She laughs.


After dinner, Ema refused to take a ride on Klavier's sports car, claiming that it would most likely, only make her sick. The blonde quickly agreed, not wanting to clean anything off of his new leather seats. They walked together, enjoying the quiet night. Luckily, it was late enough that the people weren't hanging out and making noise in the streets, and both of them rather enjoyed the short moment of peace they'd have.

"Fraulein," Klavier broke the silence. They continued their walk, taking a turn. Ema didn't talk, but the blonde knew she was listening. "I was wondering… Wouldn't you want to deepen our relationship?"

Ema stops, looking at Klavier who stopped as well. "Do you… Would you mind repeating that..?"

"I want us to have something more. You know I've always been interested in you, Fraulein Skye." Ema would usually be reacting violently, but the weight of the atmosphere and the cold breeze shut her up. The fop was serious, and that was something she rarely saw.

Both of them were silent, waiting for the other to talk first. Ema was holding on the strap of her messenger bag, fiddling with it lightly. Their relationship did take a turn for a better, but Ema really just didn't see Klavier that way. She knew she'd be murdered by the thousands of fangirls Gavin had, but she just wasn't… ready. She wanted to focus on getting in the forensics.

Klavier parted his lips, about to say something before Ema started. "I'll.. think about it.." She finished hesitantly, feeling bad as she saw that hopeful look in those blue eyes. "Fop- Gavin. You do know that… we're only friends right..?" It was 2026, and friendzone wasn't really a thing anymore. Yet, she put the fop in the friendzone. She could only imagine Lana's reaction once she tells her about this.

"Yes, but you said you would think about it. I'll hang on to that." He gave a small smile, and Ema couldn't help but notice that small tinge of sadness mixed into that smile. "Just let me finish my forensics exam, and I'll let you know." For now, that sounded good enough for Klavier. He nodded, and they continued their walk home.


Klavier had just gotten back to his apartment, sighing to himself as he plopped down on his sofa. He felt like he already knew her answer, after she'd put him in the friendzone. "Who even does that now?" He chuckled softly. It was another reason to like Ema though.

There were thousands of women who would die to be in Ema's place, and yet it seems that it didn't matter much to his Fraulein detective. She wasn't easy, and he liked that about her. Most of all, she was true to herself. That was what Klavier found most attractive about her. He didn't have to be so serious around her, and it was a nice change of atmosphere if he were to be honest.

[Text Message from: Meine Liebe: Forgot to say. Thanks for the dinner fop. Btw, you owe me a bag of snackoos for making me think about your stupid question!]

"Of course, with Fraulein Skye, I'd still have to pay for asking her out." He smiled as he read the text. She was thinking about it, which meant he had hope, and he'd cling to that small string of hope until she gave out her answer.

Three weeks went by, and Ema still didn't have her answer, not that Klavier minded. He knew her mind was still focused on what the results of her exam would be. Even during movie night, she couldn't focus on what they were watching. That was when Klavier told her to rest, and hope for the best. They didn't have any case present, so his Fraulein detective could rest as much as she wanted.

Klavier stepped out of the built in shower of his bedroom, rubbing his wet locks with the towel. He grabbed his phone and looked over the texts he'd receive.

[Text message from: Daryan: Klav, band practice 3]

He scoffed. If anything, he should be texting that to Daryan. He was the one who was always late after all. He scrolled through other messages, which were mostly about his bills, until..

[Text message from: Meine Liebe: I know you're not busy. Go drink with me]

Ema wasn't asking, she was demanding, and the blonde found that sexy. He smirks, it was the first time that Ema had initiated, what could go wrong?

He started tapping on his phone to text Daryan.

[Text message to: Daryan: I can't come today, I'll go tomorrow]

Little did he know, drinking with Ema would be one of the worse decisions he'd ever encounter.
