A/N: Last chapter, people!! This wraps up this story, and I thank you all for reading all the way. Good news for some people, this chapter contains two pairings with romance.

To linear15cannon: Well, I couldn't do it exactly as you asked, but I think this can be considered a little mush, near the ending, though I think it's more of the fluffy nature.

Serena-chan1: Yup, we're getting to the end of the story, plus the KlavierApollo!!

To some reviewers: Congratulations to all those who guessed the last chapter correct!!

Turnabout Justice

Epilogue

June 22, 4.36p.m.

District Court

Defendant Lobby No. 3

Phoenix ran a hand through his hair, leaning against the wall. Edgeworth sighed beside him. " Edgeworth… accompany me on a walk, would you?" Edgeworth nodded. Phoenix walked across the room, towards the door with Edgeworth beside him.

Phoenix stepped out of the bright red sports car, taking in a deep breath. " You know… I said, 'a walk', not a spin in your car." Phoenix said. " …He still has a long way." He spoke.

" It isn't exactly easy, don't you agree?" Edgeworth replied. Phoenix nodded.

" I took two years, didn't I?" Phoenix asked.

" And I took a lot more years than you." Edgeworth replied.

" But he'll pass it… I know it." Phoenix said. Edgeworth could only nod in agreement.

" …Why did you accept this case anyway?" Phoenix asked suddenly. Edgeworth turned around in surprise.

" I mean, would you accept a case that someone asked you to take so suddenly?" Phoenix explained.

" Ahh…" Edgeworth said.

" …Don't avoid the question… Miles." Edgeworth flinched.

" It was because… I asked you?" Phoenix asked. Edgeworth nodded. Phoenix looked surprised. " Just because of that…? But… why?" Phoenix asked.

" …Because, you were the one who asked. If you remember… you… you saved me from my own… problem, and I'm… grateful for that." Edgeworth looked away. Phoenix swore he saw something as Edgeworth turned.

" There is another reason, is there not?" Phoenix chuckled. Edgeworth didn't reply. ' Look's like it's go time.' Phoenix grinned as he walked in front of Edgeworth, noticing the prosecutor's slightly blushing face before leaning down, pressing their lips together. Edgeworth's eyes widened considerably, as his mind raced to decide what to do. Phoenix was observing him with slightly opened eyes, and his mouth curved upwards as he felt Edgeworth kissing back, and wrapping his arms around his waist.

" I swear… Wri- Phoenix… Someday, you're going to take the life out of me…" Edgeworth said, taking in a deep breath. Phoenix grinned.

" How about now?" And that was the only warning Edgeworth got before Phoenix captured his lips once more.

Apollo stared at the walls, while Trucy looked around worriedly. Klavier played with his hair. Apollo closed his eyes and walked over to the door. " Where are you going, Polly?" Trucy asked.

" Back to the hospital… I only got out on 'Police Business'… I have to go back." Apollo said, walking pass Klavier.

" …Polly!!" Trucy called again.

" Yes?" Apollo turned around.

" At the last… why didn't you…?" Trucy bit her lips. Apollo looked away.

" …because I already lost… to Mr. Gavin." Apollo turned around to walk again. Trucy frowned and walked out, leaving the prosecutor and defense attorney alone behind. Klavier grabbed Apollo's wrist, and Apollo almost fell back.

" Let… go, Prosecutor Gavin!!" Apollo struggled to get his wrist free. This, however, only made Klavier held on more tightly.

" It's hurting me!!" Apollo yelled.

" Not until you answer my question." Klavier growled.

" Why does it matter!?" Apollo asked in desperation to get away.

" Of course it does!! Why are you trying to run away, Apollo." Klavier grabbed Apollo's remaining wrist, which was pushing his chest to force distance between them. He locked Apollo's wrists together, holding him in place.

" I'm… not…" Apollo muttered.

Klavier narrowed his eyes. " What do you mean, 'you lost'…?" Klavier asked. Apollo didn't answer. He fell against Klavier's chest, breathing hard.

" Apollo!?" Klavier called.

" …because I couldn't do it, Prosecutor Gavin." Apollo muttered.

" And I'm asking you, why." Klavier replied.

Apollo swallowed the lump that was forming in his throat. " Could you take me somewhere?" Apollo asked. Klavier looked surprised, but nodded.

" There… just turn at the next corner." Apollo directed, the wind blowing into his hair. Klavier nodded and did as told. A plain, green field came into sight.

" Here?" He asked.

" …Yeah." Apollo replied, getting off.

Wind blew through the plain field and the sky was blue and clear. Apollo walked over, his eyes having a faraway look in them. Klavier walked behind him, looking into the far distance, in which an equally clear ocean laid.

" This… is probably the reason why." Apollo said after a long silence.

" A… field?" Klavier asked in confusion. Apollo pointed in another direction, and Klavier followed on. It was an old building.

" It… was an orphanage." Apollo explained. Klavier nodded before a thought hit him.

" If you've guessed, I'm an orphan. That was the orphanage I went to." Apollo said, sitting down on the grass. Klavier glanced at the old building.

" I stayed at the orphanage until I was 18." Apollo said. Klavier snapped his head over.

" You mean…"

Apollo nodded. " No one wanted to adopt me. I see kids going every year, but not me. This orphanage… They teach kids who for two years, have no one to adopt them, so that they can live when they have to leave at 18." Apollo explained with a sad smile on his face.

" After I left, I managed to get into school and studied law. Until then, I was still alone. The first person whom I trusted… was…" Apollo trailed off, turning away.

" …Kristoph…" Klavier whispered gently.

He, too, sat down, and pulled Apollo into a tight hug. Apollo tried to pull away, but Klavier didn't let go.

" You won't feel better if you don't let it all out…" Klavier whispered. Apollo glanced up at Klavier, noticing in surprise that the prosecutor's eyes were slowly gathering tears. It was then, did Apollo let it all go.

" I can't… accept it… I can't… accept that the first person… I trusted… And… I just can't… that's why… I couldn't do it… in court… I know Mr. Wright and Mr. Edgeworth are disappointed… but I couldn't… bring myself to do it…" Apollo buried his face in Klavier's chest, tears spilling out of his eyes. Klavier held him, letting the attorney cry. Apollo pulled away after a while, looking away again.

" I'm sorry, I shouldn't have… Mr. Gavin was… I'm sorry." Apollo said.

" You have a bad habit of looking away, Herr Forehead." Klavier said, using Apollo's courtroom nickname. Apollo looked over in surprise. Klavier raised his hand and caressed Apollo's face, using his thumb to rub away the tear stains. Apollo blushed.

" So, are you going to stay out of court?" Klavier asked, looking sadly at Apollo.

" Ehh?"

Klavier smiled. " It involved him, and the court would remind you of it… So are you going to stay out?" Klavier explained.

" Of course… I…" Apollo stammered.

" Then get over it." Klavier said.

" I can't…" Apollo said.

" Stop saying that you can't!! Where's that Apollo that I've known to never give up!?" Klavier yelled.

" I can't… I'm not strong at all… Not… like you." Apollo whispered.

Klavier seemed surprised. " You think… I'm strong?" Klavier asked. Apollo nodded.

" What makes you think that?" Klavier asked, out of curiosity.

" Just a feeling." Apollo replied.

" Well, you have to rethink that, because I'm not." Klavier said with a smile. Apollo looked up. " I'm not, and you're not. It's good that we help each other, ja?" Klavier chuckled. Apollo didn't know how to reply.

" Don't give up, ja?" Klavier said. Apollo nodded hesitantly.

" You hesitated." Klavier commented.

" Okay." Apollo replied instead. " Good." Klavier smiled. Slowly, Apollo smiled as well.

" But why me?" Apollo asked.

" Hmm?" Klavier looked confused.

" I mean, I'm sure you can ask other people… So why me?" Apollo asked.

" Because… of this." Klavier said. What he did next, shocked Apollo.

Klavier tilted his head and pressed his lips against Apollo's, his eyes closed. Apollo panicked for a moment, before he finally relaxed. Klavier must have left it, because when he pulled away, a smile was on his face once more. Apollo was blushing, but was smiling nevertheless.

" It's may hurt… but I'm still not going to give up, Apollo." Klavier said, referring to Kristoph.

" It's not going to hurt. Because you are two different people. And the one that I love, is Klavier Gavin." Apollo said, looking straight at Klavier, who seemed to be taken aback.

He smiled, and kissed Apollo once more. " You know… As much as I would like to stay like this… I still have to go back to the hospital." Apollo said.

" Did you really have to spoil the moment?" Klavier pouted.

" Well, if you think about it, I did defend you in court today… So that means, it won't be long till I come out, right?" Apollo said. Klavier's pout stayed in place as he pulled Apollo up with him.

" Come on, the next stop's the General Hospital." Klavier said.

June 26, 1.32p.m.

General Hospital

Lobby

" You know, you didn't have to get the day off for me. Mr. Wright was coming over." Apollo said. Klavier shrugged.

" I didn't have a case, and staying at the office would be boring anyway." Klavier replied.

" So I'm the replacement? Geesh, I feel hurt, Klavier." Apollo faked. Klavier chuckled as two people walked in.

" Mr. Wright, Mr. Edgeworth." Apollo greeted.

" Look's like you got your ride already." Phoenix sighed, moving away from Edgeworth.

" Wright…" Edgeworth threatened.

" What!? I didn't know that he was coming!!" Phoenix raised his hands in defense.

" See, I told you so." Apollo said. Klavier sighed.

" Fine, fine, so it's my fault. But you can't blame me for coming here to pick up my Freund." Klavier smirked when Edgeworth chuckled.

" You understand, Mr. Edgeworth?" Apollo asked.

" His… sister, so to speak, grew up in Germany. So he knows German." Phoenix explained.

Edgeworth motioned for Phoenix to move closer and explained what Klavier had said. Phoenix laughed. " My… Looks like it's time for us to go. You can have the day off, but clear up the paperwork tomorrow." Phoenix said, dragging Edgeworth off.

" What exactly did you say?" Apollo asked, raising an eyebrow.

" You could say I made a little announcement, ja?" Klavier winked.

" You… you WHAT!?" Apollo yelled, face red. Klavier feigned innocence.

" It's not helping." Apollo said while glaring at him.

" How about this?" Klavier asked as he pulled Apollo into a kiss. Apollo gasped in surprise and Klavier slipped his tongue in. A smile was evident on his face when he pulled away.

" H-Hey!! That's… that's not… fair!! And, and… we're in the… lobby!!" Apollo argued.

" My… You're stuttering, Herr Forehead. And besides, I don't see how that's a problem." Klavier grinned. Apollo glared, grabbed his bag and walked out of the hospital, of course not missing the muffled snickering of the people in the lobby as Klavier moved to catch up to him.

A/N: Yay!! All done!! I'll admit, this story… is not perfect. I'm sure there's something strange here and there, but… it's done. Thank you all for reading!! –takes a bow–

By the way, I used a translator for this:

Freund – Boyfriend (In German)

And also, if you're wondering about the weird scene at the end – the final scene in the hospital - …It's not weird. If you noticed, the last scene took place on June 26, which was four days after the trial ended. By then, Apollo had recovered, and was checking out of the hospital.

Again, thanks for reading, and bye!!
