My Dog Is Named Scruffy

by Lamia of the Dark

Franziska gives Gumshoe a collar and makes him her pet dog. Love triangle with Edgeworth in later chs. This is an edited and expanded version of the Little Present chapters that were posted in my Million Little Things drabble collection.

- Here's Another Present for You -

Detective Gumshoe definitely did not like that look. That look was worse than the I'm-about-to-flay-you-alive look. Because he knew he was in for a beating when she gave him the I'm-about-to-flay-you-alive look but he never knew what was coming when she gave him that look.

Last time she had put a dog collar on him. And she still forced him to wear it. Which was really embarassing at first, but he'd gotten used to it.

Franziska smiled sweetly and said in a tone of voice he had only heard her use once before, "I have another present for you, detective!" And there was such joy in her voice as she said this that it made the detective sick with fear. "Now close your eyes!" CRACK!

Again with the whip. He mentally sighed. Does she ever give it a rest? He closed his eyes. He felt her step in close to him, then there was a sharp metallic click and she stepped back again.

"You can open your eyes now."

The detective opened his eyes and saw, to his horror, that Franziska was holding the end of a leash in her hand. The other end was attached to his collar.
