Author's Notes: Yay chapter 2! Sorry for the late update. Thanks for the reviews, and thanks for reading. ^_^
Disclaimer: I do not own Phoenix Wright or Miles Edgeworth…but I wish I did, really…
"What is it? You're worrying me ..." Phoenix asked, looking at the prosecutor. "If he's having so much trouble to tell me, definitely isn't a good thing".
Edgeworth hesitated for a few seconds, knowing that it would disappoint Phoenix, but then he finally started talking.
"Phoenix...I'll have to go back to Europe for some time ... probably for a long time ..." He finally said, looking at Phoenix, seeing sadness in his eyes.
This was it, Edgeworth was leaving again ... "He's going away again ... he will leave me again ..." Phoenix thought, unable to hide the sadness and disappointment he was feeling.
"For how long?" He asked, afraid to know the answer.
"I... I don't know ... a year, maybe longer ..."
That was the answer he didn't wanted to hear. He closed his eyes, not wanting that Edgeworth saw the tears that began to appear in them.
"I'm sorry, Phoenix ..." Edgeworth began, placing a hand in his shoulders.
"This will not change the fact that you're leaving..."
"I hadn't planned this ..."
"It doesn't matter."
"I promise to return as soon as possible ..."
"That's enough, Edgeworth." Phoenix said, feeling angry. Then he started to talk everything that was stuck in his throat.
"So you came here just to tell me you're leaving? You didn't have to waste your precious time ... Firstly, why did you come back? It would have been much better if you hadn't come back ..."
"Phoenix, I ..." Edgeworth began to speak, but was stopped by Phoenix.
"You said you would stay by my side, that you wouldn't leave again ..." He said, a tear falling from his eyes. "You lied to me ..."
"You don't understand ... I have obligations to accomplish..."
"Yes, maybe I don't understand ... but there's one thing I understand ... I understand that your work is more important for you than I am..."
"Now you're being childish." Edgeworth said, rolling his eyes.
"Yes! Yes I am! I... I just ..." At this point, tears began to fall from his eyes. "I just don't want to be only God knows how long without seeing you ..."
Then he couldn't take it anymore, he fell on his knees, tears falling uncontrollably from his eyes. Edgeworth then felt guilty, knowing that it was he who made his boyfriend cry. Then he knelt near Phoenix and hugged him, starting to cry too. They stayed like this for a while, until Phoenix calmed down.
"I'm sorry Phoenix, I'm sorry ..."
"If you really sorry, don't go ..."
"Phoenix, please understand, I have to go ... I promise I'll return as soon as possible ..."
"No..." Phoenix said, getting up quickly, wiping his tears. Then he turned his back Edgeworth.
"Then go, Edgeworth ..."
Edgeworth got up, thinking of something to say to his boyfriend, but couldn't say anything. He then just turned his back and walked toward the door, looking at Phoenix one last time.
"My flight will leave tomorrow at ten o'clock." He said, leaving the apartment. Before closing the door, he said one last thing. "I love you."
"I love you too ..." Phoenix said, starting to cry again, feeling like he wouldn't see Edgeworth for a long time.
