A/N: So they went on a date and I spent the whole day trying to figure out a place. Sorry I rushed it a little because it's getting close to the next day. Also I won't really be around in the next four days, so there might be some delay in posting!
An impatient Athena Cykes waited outside of her apartment complex. On the bench she sat, her legs crossed and left index finger tapping on her chin. The junior attorney wore a loose white sundress with a few floral patterns imprinted infrequently. Her collar was a cut out "V" shape but it wasn't cut in a way to show any cleavage. On her feet was a pair of white sandals. Overall, her attire was different from what she would normally wear—that was because she had a date with somebody.
It was Apollo Justice and he specified today as a "date" not just a casual hangout. Then again, he wasn't late, Athena was just an hour early than the scheduled time. She fiddled with her hair, twirling some in between her fingers here and there—but that wasn't satisfying enough. Gosh Apollo, get over here already.
About half an hour later, she heard some familiar footsteps. The way they stepped on the ground, no rhythm involved and maybe even a little impatient with a dash of cockiness, without a second thought Athena knew the footsteps belonged to Apollo. Her brows twitched at the recognition of footsteps and stood up to see if she could actually see his face from this distance.
Apollo was wearing a white long sleeve with a crimson red sweater vest that has the sleeve edges bordered with white. His pants looked like a casual pair of dark jeans and his shoes were a pair of dress shoes. Perhaps, he dressed a little too formal there. All he was missing was a bowtie or something.
A friendly wave was passed by from afar, as he dashed over to the orange headed lawyer. His face was plastered with an affectionate smile. While Athena wasn't too pleased at the site, her cheeks puffed a little while a light frown were knitted into her brows.
"I waited for half an hour," Athena mumbled as Widget turned red indicating anger. "You're late."
"Athena, you were an hour early and I'm half an hour early," He sighed with a slight face palm.
"O-Oh!" The female lawyer looked genuinely surprised as her hand reached up to her neck and her eyes widened a little. Almost instantly, she became embarrassed at the situation and reached a hand behind her head. "Oh yeah, we are early!"
"Y-Yeah," Apollo was shocked at how fast her expressions and changed within approximately three seconds. He cleared his throat before looking at the orange head who also regained her composure when Apollo looked over.
"So where are we headed to today?" Athena walked closer to Apollo before she made the initiative to walk.
"We're going to the nature park remember?" Apollo tilted his head while catching up to Athena's footsteps. His brows knitted into a light frown, slightly concerned of the fact that she had just forgotten what their purpose for today was.
"Oh right!" Athena grinned sheepishly before taking another glance at Apollo. After a short while, her grin softened into a faint smile, "You look different today…but it's looks nice on you."
"You noticed. Yep, it looks great. Picked it out myself," Apollo grinned proudly before he took some time to thoughtfully examine Athena. A tiny flush crept across his cheek before he cleared his throat, "You look…dazzling today. I mean it."
"Thank you; it's just something from my closet."
Lies, they were newly bought clothes from the store and she picked it out with Juniper's help. In fact, she spent an entire afternoon choosing the outfit at Forever XXI and she probably made Juniper a nervous wreck by seeing so many people at once, all aggressively shopping.
"You're hiding something," Apollo smirked as he probably knew what she was hiding from him. "My bracelet just reacted to what you said."
"Apollo stop playing dirty!" Her face just went into fifty shades of red. "I-I spent a lot of time picking this outfit o-okay? I didn't want to sound ridiculous because you probably would've grabbed something out of your closet while I was frantically preparing for something to wear for a date."
A smirk crept up his face as he realized just how adorable Athena could be sometimes. Especially her reaction to every situation possible—so full of emotions, she was easy to read as a children's book. There wasn't even a need to use his bracelet, he knew what was going on.
"Well it doesn't matter, you probably would've looked super adorable anyways!" He exclaimed before his eyes lingered at her vacant hand.
A faint blush appeared before he moved his own hand closer to her's. He stared momentarily, observing the fair skin of her hand. The two of them were at the stage where they could grab each other's hand without asking but he still hesitated until Athena grabbed his in response.
"Well what are you waiting for Herr Forehead, take me to the park already!"
"H-Herr Forehead?! When did you—ah," He cursed Klavier Gavin internally before taking the lead while holding onto her hand. "Well, of course. Nature Park here we come!"
The couple spent the rest of their date in the park, wandering around and sightseeing. There were so many birds and animals that Athena has never seen before due to her sheltered home life. Birds flew in flocks, it seemed like it was the season to migrate south. The two of them also went to the playground, sitting on the swings and letting the legs hand whilst talking to each other about their fondest childhood memories. The day drifted by quickly as they didn't want to say goodbye to one another and had the longest hug possible down by the entrance to Athena's apartment. Finally they pulled away and kissed each other goodnight and goodbye.
