“Can we get fireworks?” Sky asked as she looked over at her dad.

The Edgeworth’s were currently at the dollar store picking up chips and snacks for this evening. They were hosting a fourth of July barbeque and pool party for all their friends. Since there were so many people, they figured dollar store snacks were the best option. Cheap and decent quality. Sky was leaning on the cart while she watched her dad pick between different kinds of cheetos and cheeses.

“No, they are illegal,” he said, not really paying attention to her. She huffed.

“Here, get these ones,” she grabbed a page of spicy and regular cheetos, “there. Now can we at least get sparklers?”

“I do believe Wright said he’d bring some,” he looked into their cart, “I believe we have everything. What do you think?”

“Hm, snakoos.”

“I’m sure Ms. Skye will bring her own.” Miles started walking out of the aisle, and Sky followed, still leaning into the cart.

“She probably will, but they’ll only last five maybe ten minutes. Let’s just pick up a box, they’re nice and cheap here anyways.”

“Alright, I’ll meet you in line,” he said, taking the cart from her. She ran off to find the box of snakoos for Ema.

It was around three in the afternoon when they got home. Plenty of time to set everything up for six. Miles took the food inside to refrigerate it, while Sky ran to take the lawn chairs out back and open the pool. Their house wasn’t too big, it had two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a home office. Plus the kitchen, living room, and dinning room. But they had a pretty big yard so pess could run around, so it was the best place for a party.

Miles watched his daughter through the window as she struggled to get the cover off the pool. However, just as she pulled it back and sat up in triumph, Pess ran over and jumped on her back knocking her in. He laughed as he headed to the linen closet to grab her a towel.

Phoenix and Trucy showed up around five forty so Phoenix could start the barbeque. He was charged with making burgers, hotdogs, and ribs. While he started that, the girls took to decorating while Miles set out the snacks in bowls. The girls could feel their father's eyes watching them. Trucy and Sky were currently trying to hang a banner in front of the door, but they couldn’t find two step ladders, so they were standing precariously on the edge of chairs.

“Careful you two.”

“Ah!” They screamed, wobbling slightly as a new voice warned them to be careful. Both fathers moved to catch their daughters, glaring at the new arrival.

“Whoops!” Athena called, sticking her tongue out, “My bad. Need any help?”

“We’re good!” They both called.

“Cykes-dono,” both girls jumped again.

“Nope, I’m done! Forget the streamers Truce,” Sky yelled as she scrambled down, Trucy did the same.

“My apologies, Wright-chan, Edgeworth-chan. We did not mean to startle you,” Simon said as he stepped out onto the porch with Athena.

“Where’s Polly? I thought you two were coming together?”

“We were, but then your mom didn’t have a ride so him and Klav went to pick them up. So I got a ride with Simon! They should be here soon,” Athena laughed before making a b-line for the snacks.

“Cykes-dono, you will spoil your appetite,” Simon sighed, following after her.

True to Athena’s words, Thalassa, Apollo, and Klavier showed up soon after along with the Skyes and Rayfa. Since Nahyuta had traveled the world plenty, and seen many celebrations, he’d asked Ema if Rayfa could accompany her to experience the celebration. Rayfa looked around a little awkwardly, she was in jean shorts with a little american flag and a t-shirt with an eagle outline. Apparently she had protested profusely, but Ema had insisted she wear anything but her usual outfit. To make her feel a little better, Ema and Lana had done similar themed outfits.

“So, goggle heads sister,” Rayfa poked Lana who was picking up a rack of ribs, “What are these fireworks that goggle head was talking about?”

“Oh, um… I don’t really know how to explain it. They’re like little rockets that explode into pretty colours in the sky, if you use them right, they aren’t too dangerous. But they’re technically illegal because they’re explosives.”

“So, we can’t see them?”

“Actually Fraulein,” Klavier cut in, he was behind Rayfa in the food line, “that’s not technically true. While they are illegal to the public, some places have licenses that let them use fireworks. Not to mention some people simply ignore the law all together.” Rayfa’s eyes lit up.

“So do we have some?!”

The three of them looked over to Miles and Phoenix who were standing under a tree.

“Herr Edgeworth! Do we have fireworks?” Miles frowned and Phoenix laughed.

“Sadly we couldn’t convince Miles to let us buy some-”

“Because they are illegal.”

“But we do have sparklers!”

“Oh those are fun, you’ll like those,” Lana said. “Now, let’s grab some food and find somewhere to sit.”

It was a surprisingly calm evening, at least by their standards. After eating,Trcuy and Sky started dragging people into the water. First it was Polly, who was shoved in by his sister, and Athena jumped in after him. Next, the girls decided Simon needed to get in the water, and that turned into an adventure as he was too big to push in. After a few minutes of fruitless pushing, Simon picked the girls up and threw them into the water. They resurfaced only to be shoved back under by the wave Simon created when he jumped in after them.

Apollo and Ema had eased into the shallow end with Rayfa to teach her how to swim. Khura’in wasn’t exactly warm enough to swim most of the year, but it was a good skill to have, especially if she was going to travel more. At first, she floundered around a lot, but eventually she figured out how to at least float. By the time they had to get out of the pool, the sun had started to set, she could tread water and float.

“Achtung baby! Who’s read for the sparklers!” Klavier laughed as him and Apollo stepped out of the house with sparklers.

“Here, everyone come grab one to start.” Apollo waved everyone over. “Here, these ones are coloured, and these crackle. These ones-” He was cut off by a loud, booming sound that made everyone jump.

They turned around to see fireworks being set off a little ways in the distance. Rayfa hid behind Ema, poking her head out when she realized no one was panicking. Ema leaned down a bit.

“You wanted to see fireworks?” She whispered, and Rayfa nodded. “There,” she pointed towards the bright explosions.

“Wow, I need to talk to braid head about bringing these to Khura’in…”

Apollo laughed, “Maybe start with sparklers. Come on! Let’s light them up.”

“Ya!” Trucy and Sky cheered, pumping their fists in the hair.

It was nearly midnight when the party was disbanded. Rayfa had a short list of things she needed to speak with her brother about once she returned, she was asleep on her feet though as they left. The same could be said for Athena, but not Apollo and Trucy who had fallen asleep, Sky was dozing off beside her dad as they waved goodbye to everyone. Klavier, Apollo, and Thalassa left first since they had to make two stops, and Simon decided he and Athena should leave too. Ema helped back up some of the extra food to take home, while Lana took Rayfa to the car, they left last.

Carefully, Phoenix carried Trucy up to Sky’s room, while Miles helped Sky up the stairs so she didn’t trip. Once the two girls were tucked in, they went back down to finish putting away the food.

“Y’know this is nice,” Phoenix hummed. “Being able to have everyone over, it’s a shame we can’t do it more often. I mean- everyone’s always busy. It would be nice if people could just drop by while we’re all in one place… And it’s nice seeing Trucy and Sky toget-”

“Wright,” Miles said, cutting him off.

“Ya?”

“Yes, I will marry you…” Phoenix’s eyes widened.

“Whaa?! What makes you thi-”

“You’ve been playing with something in your pocket all day, and Trucy can’t stop smiling when she looks at me. Not to mention her and Sky have been watching us and giggling since Trucy pulled her aside earlier. Mr. Justice and Ms. Cykes have also been looking at me strangely for weeks. It was the only logical conclusion,” he smiled.

“Fine,” Phoenix puffed his cheeks out. “But you have to pretend not to know until lunch tomorrow. Maya and Pearl wanted to be there when I asked you.” Miles laughed.

“I believe that’s doable.”

choosing violence for you #6 which ship’s fans are most annoying 🩵

i had to think long and hard about this and how much of a ruckus i wanted to make with the hornet's nest. so i'll just say it's a combination of the people who:

see a movie with a clear-cut protagonist who come out of it totally obsessed with some side yaoi ship that has fuckall to do with the what they just watched (there are so many of these you can really just take ur pick they're all basically the same anyway)

are obsessed with "proving" that peter/andrey is canon they willfully misread the actual text of the game because they think they're "owning" on people who don't ship in/cest like guys, even if i gave a shit, they will never be sam & dean just take the L

love and light to my friends who enjoy it but it's the kla/pollo people who cannot fathom making a post about either character alone it has to be about the ship, making it functionally impossible to find art or analysis on either klav or polly without it being about how actually it's secretly the next naru/mitsu and just like with the other ship it's not!! nothing else will ever be naru/mitsu!!!

[woolydemon]

hell world I don't want to make polly the same color as klavs hair!! please don't make me !!!!😭😭😭

oh btw update on klapolly tsums project, I did actually start gathering materials for it (there's spring sales at craft stores rn >:] ) however I am now struggling to find skin (fleece) for them 😔

[outlaw-unicorn]

For the writing prompts, I've got a one-word one: care! (I love your fics btw!)

Vongole was the first to notice - rising with a huff and claws ticking on the wooden floor as she padded towards the door. At least he thought so. Or maybe that was just his brain coming up with an explanation for why the golden retriever wasn’t when he opened his eyes. Mikeko was there though, blinking at him as something - someone - thudded against the apartment door, and they were both thinking the same thing: this bed here was nice and warm, did he really want to get up?

Another crash, this time from inside their condo, had him roll out of bed with a sigh whereas his cat just curled up again. Oh to be a cat and just sleep through whatever ruckus his boyfriend was making. Well, the ruckus and one very loud Shhhhhhhhh. Although, he thought as he rounded the corner and saw the man turning in a circle as he tried (and failed) to get his boots off - then he’d miss the show. Since those awful boots kept trying to evade, Klavier had now grabbed hold of his right leg and was slowly inching his hands down as if that would help him reach the zipper. If it didn’t make him fall over first.

“You’re back,” he snorted, resisting the urge to grab his phone because this was looking more and more like a Bambi-on-Ice reenactment.

Klavier’s head shot up, the rest of his body following somewhat more sluggishly and the dorkiest grin ever spread over his face.

“Schatzi!” he all but yelled, throwing his arms wide and stumbling into the wall. “You’re awake!”

“Uh huh. And you’re drunk.” Klavier’s grin widened even more and he took a step toward Apollo.

“Nuuuuh, it’s just windy.” Another unsteady step and Apollo decided to close the distance between them before the ‘wind’ knocked his boyfriend over.

“Sure, Klav. Let’s just-” sit down he didn’t get because suddenly he had a heavy, not-drunk boyfriend draped over him, rubbing his cheek against the top of his head.

“You’re so warm,” Klavier purred.

“Yeah, and you know what else is warm? Our bed. So-” He slipped out from under the taller man and pushed him against their dresser until he sat. “- let’s just get you out of these. Hold still.”

“Okay.” Klavier nodded, wide grin growing wider. “You’re so nice to me. I need to get you something as a thank you. How about something red. You like red.”

Snorting he knelt down and made quick work of the boots, pulling them off one after the other as Klavier babbled on. Would Apollo like to redesign their kitchen in red? No? What about-

“Did you guys have fun,” he interrupted, because he also liked their living room as it was, even if red was a pretty color.

“Ja! You should come too next time. Simon is hil- hila- so funny.” Klavier leaned into him again as Apollo tried to maneuver them towards their bedroom, gesturing wildly, and he chuckled at the antics.

“You and Athena have a weird sense of humor,” he mused as he dumped the uncoordinated bundle of limbs on their mattress, much to Mikeko’s dismay, and watched as Klavier rolled on his back and opened his arms, demanding a hug. He had no idea how he managed to date an international rockstar that turned into a cuddly koala after a few drinks but he certainly wasn’t complaining. But he was taking too long, what with him going back to close the door and everything, because said rockstar started making grabby hands at him with a truly impressive pout.

“You’re so far away, Schatz.”

“And you’re still wearing your pants and jacket. That’s gonna be uncomfortable when you wake up.”

Klavier’s eyes widened, as did his grin, and he whispered: “Are you trying to get in my pants, Forehead?”

His own smile matched Klavier’s at the hopeful tone even as he shook his head. “Not while you’re drunk, Klav. But if you help me with getting these off, we can cuddle.”

“Yes, I’ll be good."

He was not. He kept trying to hug Apollo when he just wanted to get that man’s arm out of his sleeves but truthfully, there were worse things to sacrifice your sleep for.

what is flattery? lying with style

[apollotomyicarus]

thinkin about klapollo again

i see a lot of aus where they meet outside of canon and go on dates and fall in love and as cute as that is i just dont think it would happen like that?

like, we see polly brushing klavier off over and over again in canon. i dont think he would ever fall for a personality like klavs unless they were stuck in a situation together where apollo cannot escape.

like, if apollo and klavier just so happened to be at a bar together and klavier flirted with him, i think apollo would roll his eyes and talk to clay or ema or any other 3rd party. i can only imagine klav would lay on the rockstar (or the complete opposite "here you are mr gavin, loved the most recent album" "album?" "i told you im a rockstar, ja?" leaves) and the rockstar persona would do NOTHING for apollo. any sort of heavy, laying it on thick flirting would go right over apollos head or he would ignore him and be disinterested. maybe on repeated attempts klav could draw some interest from apollo, but that would require them to be in the same place more than once.

maybe its just me projecting but i dont see apollo as the type to commit to relationships very easily. he needs a bit of poking and prodding to get him comfortable with another person, let alone intimate with them.

whenever i try to think of him as someone who has one night stands, i cant get my head wrapped around it. i dont see apollo as the type to bring someone else into his home very easily. or maybe im just projecting my own trust issues onto him, who knows. so he needs someone who is willing to break down barriers and push boundaries in order to even consider a relationship with them.

also apollo is dense to other peoples feelings unless theyre lying then he can tell, but pre aa4 he wouldnt explicitly know what he knows someones lying, only that theyre acting strangely.

klav on the other hand has a facade of wearing his heart on his sleeves, but really his boundaries are firm. i imagine he is open to one night stands as a part of his rockstar persona, but longs for a deeper connection. so when he sees pretty brown eyes and someone who doesnt care about the rockstar persona, i imagine instant intruige, not necessarily romantic, but still intruige none the less. he would have a desire to know more, and in order to know more he would have to see apollo more than once.

anyways look for my upcoming fic craigslist - missed connections coming soon to ao3

[4ragon]

For the headcanon thingy!

there's this guy in my uni major who's as tall as Polly/has the same vives and I'm as whipped as Gavin, so how about a Klapollo college au where they're both law students + neighbors where Klav is all 'notice me senpai', like he acts dumb to keep asking Polly for help w stuff like changing the computer language from Jap to german, not getting lost back home + being a big simp etc while Polly is all helpful/enthusiastic but also like 'ugh this dumbass' (in a fond way)

Hahahahaha that is adorable. And I’m sure Klavier would have his guitar with him to show off at a moment’s notice, because he’s nothing if not a showoff. “Oh, Herr Forehead, thank you so much for the help with my computer by the way I’ve been working on this new song about the Greek God of the Sun” and Apollo is like “How do you keep messing up your keyboard settings so bad what language even is this??” Or, for the ‘neighbors’ part, Apollo despising that motorcycle next door until he needs a ride home one day and discovers that Klavier is his next door neighbor.

Man, there’s so much fun stuff you can do with a college au. I don’t do a ton of aus, but it’s that perfect ‘you’re living on your own but still figuring your life out’ setting, you know? It's so fun. I love them.

[letapollojusticesayfuck]

I’m glad to have a comrade in the “Polly literally sleeps on top of Klav while watching a movie on the sofa” cause. Same brain cell, great minds think alike, etc. 💕

yeAH!! look all i'm saying is that Klavier makes a great pillow. he's warm and he doesn't fidget too much and there's a good amount of plausible deniability in Apollo's "look you're just like a really big hot water bottle and I was trying to stay awake but the movie was boring and..."

also: if I put together a "lucy's fanfic bingo" thing, "klavier and apollo falling asleep together on a sofa" would definitely be on there--I've written it at least two or three times. i just....it's so soft. falling asleep together is the ultimate form of intimacy. you trust the person you're with to see you in one of the most vulnerable states of being and i simply yearn.

[adolin-is-best-boy]

uh oh now i wanna add jove justice to the traveling troupe group ughhhh

he’d literally be SO perfect for it, and he’s 100% a character i want to explore! the dynamics between him, klav and trucy would be sooo interesting! klav and trucy would immediately connect the dots and be like 0_0 but i don’t think they’d tell him the truth for awhile, because how are you supposed to tell the man that his beloved baby has not only grown up without him, but is also now older than him? not to mention the fact that apollo really isnt into music. 

but even disregarding that, my interpretation of jove is just a real funky guy!! i would love to have him vibe around :]

now, the only con to adding him to the traveling troupe is that in a meta sense, it would be weird for both Kazuma’s and Apollo’s (who are in a group together) fathers to be in the same place as eachother, since last night i thought it would be good if i put genshin in the traveling troupe. Normally, I’d just take Genshin out and plop him somewhere else, but part of the reason i put genshin in that group is because everyone else in it is super squishy. even though they have some pretty great magic, it just cant replace brawn in some situations. (and no, im not gonna have jove be a unit, he probably has less strength than polly does)

maybe trucy could be a bit of a tank? i havent figured out the gramarye bloodline magic yet, so its a possibility, but i dont really wanna mess with so many characters’ powers just to make this one group more balanced.

the only free character i can think of that would fit the more “brawny” type is will powers, but he’s honestly just kinda boring to me? i could make him interesting, but it’d still only feel like he’s there just to fill the physical role, and that’s literally what he’d be lmao.

i could make an OC to fit that role for them, but like, then i have to make an OC. One who’s just as interesting as the rest of that group, which is an extremely tall order since everyone else in the group are complete weirdos (/endearing). 

another option is to just not have any brawny types in the traveling troupe, but that poses several problems. first, any thugs around would see them as an easy target, and not hesitate to harass/steal from them. I mean, they are gonna have some issues with that, but not as much as they would with a buff guy watching over their shoulders. second, the group would have extreme difficulty doing anything that required physical strength, like carrying stuff (a pretty big part of a TRAVELING troupe). third... i dont know it just bugs me

i really need some advice for this one lol

[ultraviolet-ink]

Well, you just know which character I'm going to ask about, don't you? Klavier Gavin!

AAHHH!! Yes!!! My favorite Glimerous Fop! Klavier Gavin favorite thing about them: I really love his demeanor in court! He was the first Prosecutor we had that didn't mention a thing about a "perfect win record" and legitimately wanted to find the truth to the point of helping out the defense! I think that was a really interesting subversion of his role, and it really helps hammer in that upside-down feeling that AJ has going on. least favorite thing about them: Honestly, I'm not a super big fan of his 17 year old design. I don't know what he was trying to do with his hair but it wasn't it for me (sorry Klav XD), but then again, we didn't make the best fashion decisions when we were 17 so he gets a pass! favorite line: I know it'll be super basic, but, "I must say I'm used to being inspected by the ladies... But this is the first time I've felt this way with a man." I mean COME ON??? it was CALLING TO ME! I can't NOT like it!!! XD brOTP: Ema! I think they have the kind of friendship where it sounds like they hate each other, but it's all just a bunch of inside jokes! Basically, Ema's the only one allowed to be "mean" to him, and she will be the first one to defend him! <3 OTP: Klapollo, if my favorite line wasn't enough lol! :D nOTP: This is a really hard one, mostly because I don't think I really have any ships that I feel strongly "no thank you" for with Klavier because I like to focus on what I DO like (AKA Klapollo <3). I guess Gav/nc/st, mostly because that's a huge squick for me. random headcanon: Klavier is a JoJo fan, it explains his fashion (I don't really know much about JJBA other than the stuff I get from my sister, but I might actually check it out now!). From what I know, I feel like his favorite JoJo would be Josuke! unpopular opinion: I don't know how unpopular this is, but I think Klavier is actually a natural blonde lol. It's darker than Kristoph's, but still blonde. I like to think that he actually dyes his eyebrows so he HAS them XD For one I KNOW is unpopular, I actually didn't mind his DD voice. Maybe if I got more than a few lines, I could make a better judgement, but it's not that bad to me XD song i associate with them: Karma by AJR. I feel like it really fits him! It's super upbeat, despite the lyrics. I feel like it really captures his feelings after AJ, just a series of disappointments from Daryan and Kristoph, and the fact that he can't look at his first trial the same way anymore. He really does try his best in court, and he clearly wants to do the right thing, but everything keeps coming back to punch him in the gut. Fundamentally, I think Klavier is a very lonely character because of this, and the rockstar persona is just that, a persona. There's so much you can explore with him, so many possibilities, and I'm really sad that there was no follow up with him. I guess my dream AA7 would acknowledge what the hell happened in AJ favorite picture of them: This is my favorite! I think his and Trucy's friendship could be really fun, especially their love of performing! It's also funny how they're not quite on the same wavelength haha Poor Polly is so confused XD

[write-like-wright]

Thank you so much! I personally find both Klavier and Apollo very attractive, I love the idea of being in a poly relationship with them, and the idea of being attracted to eachother and open about what we want… But also I think of fucking them both at the same time with my hands and just combust!!! I love the idea of watching some otherwise composed guys come undone, and it would just be lovely to have that sort of comforting environment where I can just destroy them! (Oops! Gushed a lot, sorry!) TLDR; Klapollo threesomes live in my brain rent free!!! <3- 🌱

You've got nothing to thank me for, bestie! I made this blog to thirst and you're all more than welcome to join me.

Ah, that sounds like so much fun!! Tsundere bf Polly and malewife Klav!! Get it, anon.

[ask-the-ace-attorneys]

I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive. (Part 1)

“Po-Mr. Justice. This is strictly business. I’m sorry.” Phoenix averted his eyes from the young man in front of him.

Apollo’s entire body seemed to droop. From the little horns on his head to his legs shaking and…

I’m just unlovable.

“Why… what did I do to make you…?”

Of course. I’ve been waiting for this. He abandoned me. Like everyone else in my life.

“Mr. Justice. This isn’t personal. We’ll be on opposite sides of the courtroom. You have your reasons… and I have mine.” The blue suited man said, with a cold, calculating look in his eyes. Those eyes that used to be filled with such… pride and... love? Was that it?

Or was I just pretending to make myself feel better?

“Those eyes… they… why…?” Apollo whispered to himself.

It was all fake. All of it. How could I believe him? How could I have trusted him?!

“Two lawyers from the same firm going head to head? Who could have thought? Ha ha!” Paul Atishon said.

He... he promised that he wouldn’t leave me! He promised! He... he lied. Like everyone else in my life.

“Da… no. Mr. Wright. I should have expected this.”

Jove died on me. Dhurke shipped me off to Japan. Kristoph was just using me for status. And now Phoenix. I should have learned by now. No one could love Justice.

“...Mr. Justice. I’m sorry. I’m… so sorry.” Phoenix said, trying to stay stoic, but with tears in his eyes.

He’s not. This is his way of telling me to leave him alone. To go away from his little family. I’m not worthy of his love.

Apollo took off running. Just… ran. Rain started falling.

“Apollo, wait!” Dhurke yelled out, before trying to follow him through the rain.

You… you abandoned me here in Japan. You promised you would come back! But… I don’t blame you. I’m unlovable. How could someone love me compared to Nahyuta… or Trucy… Athena? Never. Kay, Sebastian? The Great Thief and The Best? Simon? Klavier? Maya? Pearl? They’re too good. I’m just… me.

He crashes into something after running for far too long. “Schatzi!” Klavier smiles at Apollo, and plants a kiss on his forehead. “You’re literally falling for me, huh?”

Klavier smiles at me like I’m... special.

“Don’t… please… don’t pretend to love me like this…”

“Pretend? Herr Forehead, I’m not pretending.” The blonde pulls the shorter attorney to his chest in a hug.

He is.

“How can I believe you? Let me go.”

“Liebling? What’s wrong?”

Schatzi? Liebling? He’s the gorgeous rock star. How could he love me?

“I said let me go.”

The glimmerous fop reluctantly obliged. Apollo shot off again, slipping on the pavement a ways away from Klavier.

“Huh? Pollo! Are you alright?!” Athena ran over, draping her umbrella over a soaked Apollo.

“Thena…?”

“Polly, you look like shit. What happened to you? Who do I need to fight. No one messes with my brother.”

Athena thinks of me like a brother?

“Just… go. Leave me alone.”

“Apollo…? What’s wrong? Did something happen to you?”

“Just… just leave, goddamn it! Get it over with! Stop pretending to care about me!”

“Apollo, what’s gotten into you?! I love you! You’re my brother!

She doesn’t. She’s just using me. Just like Kristoph and Mr. Wright. The goddamn bracelet. If I didn’t have it, she wouldn’t still care about me.

Apollo shoots off for the third time, hearing Athena screaming his name behind him. He can feel something warm on the back of his head, but he sure as hell doesn’t care.

“Polly! Where are you?! Please, come back! Daddy didn’t mean it!” The little magician called out from behind. “It’s just a big misunderstanding, Polly! We all still love you!” Her footsteps got closer. “Polly! Is that you?! Please… I miss my big brother! Come back!” She says, and she finally collided with Apollo. She grabs him from behind and holds him in a tight hug.

Trucy literally calls me her older brother. More lies.

“Polly, you’re bleeding! Calm down and let me look at it! Thena and Klavier both called me, saying they ran into you and that you were acting really weird!” She said, dragging him into the nearby cafe.

“Truce, let me go!”

“No! Athena and Klav both made the mistake of letting you go, and you’ll just start running!”

“That’s the point, Trucy!”

“Well, I’m not going to let you go, Polly!”

“...I’m sorry, Truce.”

“What?”

Apollo shoves her off him and bolts out of the cafe.

“Polly! Come back!” Trucy screams from the floor.

I should have known that they were all goddamn liars.

Apollo took his bracelet off and threw it into his pocket. His body was so tense, it wasn’t working. It wouldn’t tell him whether or not someone was lying. He sat on a curb… somewhere in the city. He doesn’t know where he is. Tokyo’s a big city. What are the chances that they’ll find him here?

If possible… please… try not to embarrass me.

Kristoph motherfucking Gavin. Even from a goddamn prison cell, he wouldn’t leave Apollo alone.

Et tu, Justice?

“I’m sorry…”

How could you betray your mentor like this?

“I’m sorry.”

You’re just a disappointment.

“I’m sorry!”

The voice in his head changed to Phoenix’s.

I should never have offered you a job.

“D-Dad…”

Without your bracelet, you’re useless to me.

“I’m so sorry…”

Ha, I was “grateful” for Clay telling you to take the job? I “wouldn’t have my beautiful son” without him? I can’t believe you fell for that. You’re supposed to detect lies.

“I just… felt so happy… even though I left you…”

That’s right, Apollo. You left me. You left your siblings. You accused Athena of Clay’s murder.

“I didn’t want to believe it!”

You just couldn’t trust her. How could you betray her like this. Betray us?

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…!”

How do I believe that, Apollo?

Apollo felt his vision slowly fade away. Trucy’s voice filled his head.

Just die already! No one would miss you!

Then Athena’s

God, I should just throw you off a bridge.

Dhurke’s comes next

I can’t believe I saved you. I didn’t raise a son who runs away at the slightest inconvenience.

And finally… Klavier’s voice echoes.

You’re a 5’5 nerd with a big forehead. I’m a rockstar who could have any Fraülein that I wanted. I can’t believe that you actually thought that I could love you.

And with that, his vision finally faded to black and he collapsed.

Imagine when Polly comes back from Khura'in ato visit his bf (or bfs, if we add Clay) and seeas Klav with his hair cut in the same style that he had in State vs Gramarye.

I really like the whole idea of Klavier cutting the drill off because of Kristoph (even though I reeeeaaaallllllly love long, blonde hair) and while I figure he'd tell Apollo about it if they were in a relationship, I do like your idea of him just doing it and Apollo not seeing it until he gets back.

I imagine he'd be surprised, but since he loves Klavier, he'd quickly get used to it and learn to love it. I think he'd also be proud of him for doing it as a step away from his past and from his brother :)

12 Days of Ficmas: Day 3

Fandom: Ace Attorney

Pairing: Klapollo

Prompt:  Flirty Decorating; klav and apollo are neighbours for a while and every christmas apollo asks klav's help decorating his place (he smol :'( ) that's basically his way of (kinda?) flirting with him and klav doesn't catch on to it for way too long so polly just spells it out for him in the end lol! ((Idk if this is how it works but ;;; ja))

Note: Hi anon, thanks for the prompt.  Sorry that this wasn’t the exact prompt!! But thank you for the cute premise! 

_

“I am sorry, come again?” Klavier asked not just for clarification but also just to see Herr Justice’s face scrunch up in that adorable way he tended to do when he was flustered.

Apollo furiously rubbed at the back of his neck, “Umm... I just wanted to ask if you could help me hang up some decorations...” and then quickly mumbled, “since you’re- uh- taller than me.”  

The blush deepened and Klavier felt himself flutter at how adorable Apollo could be sometimes.  

“Oh, that’s what I thought you said,” he grinned, knowing that it would rile Apollo up - just the way he liked it.   “It’s a gut thing I moved into the same apartment complex as you - you’ve been needing a lot of help.”

He’d mentioned it before; ever since he’d chosen to live in the same apartment complex has his courtroom rival, Apollo had been making a lot of social and neighborly calls.  This was odd considering how much Apollo was amazed and wondered why Klavier Gavin, Rockstar and Prosecutor, would want to “slum it” in the apartments Apollo could barely afford on his flakey income from the WAA.

And admittedly, Klavier had chosen the complex just to poke the bear a bit where Apollo was concerned, but then upon looking into the apartments he realized that it wouldn’t be so bad living closer to the Court House, being nearby to socialize with his colleagues; not too mention considering his changes in careers, some downsizing was needed.

So he moved in, much to Apollo’s (loud) wonderment. And soon, he and Apollo began seeing more of each other than Klavier would have anticipated.  Especially considering that Apollo had been the one initiating their interactions.

Klavier definitely had a crush on his rival, but he was pretty sure Apollo wasn’t interested in anything more than a professional friendship.

“So, where do you need help?’ Klavier asked as he surveyed the considerable amount of boxes that littered Apollo’s usually clean apartment, “Are all of these decorations for Christmas?”

Apollo nodded, even flashing Klavier that shy smile he tended to do when he was apologetic in court, “Uh, yeah -  Christmas is my favorite and once I got a place of my own, I’ve started quite the collection.  Takes up most of my storage space too,” he opened one of the boxes, “I guess let’s get started on the tree- Mrs. Alice in 5B is watching my cat for a few hours so he doesn’t get underfoot-”

It took them about five hours to decoration - 4 to transform Apollo’s apartment into a Holiday space that would be the envy of department storefronts in New York, and 1 for the offering of pizza and beer for Klavier’s hard work.

It had been a nice day actually - it had been some time since Klavier had decorated for the holiday, given that he’d been away from most of his relatives for years. And it was nice hearing the backstories to Apollo’s tree decorations and the set of nutcrackers he had.

It was a shame that it was now over, Klavier thought to himself as he walked back to his own apartment.  He had a niggling feeling that he and Apollo’s friendship had deepened....actually the more he thought about it today had been his more intimate experience with Apollo.

The ambient lighting, all warm and cozy- the two of them spending time to get to know each other, sitting on the floor exhausted with a pizza box between them (the table too littered with Christmas odds and ends for them to properly eat upon, and them too tired to actually want to clear the table). The disappointed look when Klavier declined to stay a bit longer and watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas- as Klavier mentioned he’d never seen it-”

Klavier stopped in his tracks in the middle of the hall.

So many thoughts were sliding through his brain. Past requests, the frequency of the asks, all lining up-  Apollo’s flustering and almost shy nature whenever Klavier came over.

Now that he thought of it, Klavier realized that they both wanted to hang around longer but, Apollo,  like Klavier was probably too scared that he was overstepping-

Overstepping- what...

The realization slammed into his mind.

“Oh meine gott, I am an idiot-” Klavier miuttered, fishing his motorcycle’s keys from his pocket and changing course for the garage.  There was something he needed to buy.

-

Two hours later he was back in front of Apollo’s door with Apollo’s surprised face peeking out from the door.

“Forget something?” he asked, stepping aside for Klavier to enter.

Klavier clutched the shopping bag, hoping his grip wasn’t too tight to damage the bag, “Um...neine...welll...I noticed that you’re missing a decoration, and if I am not being too presumptuous-”

If Apollo was nervous he didn’t show it.  Only curiosity read on his face as he opened the bag to reveal the festive sprig of mistletoe.

Apollo stared at it fo a moment and then looked up with Klavier with a smile.  Klavier felt the anxiety drain out of him and that he’d broken out into a wide smile as well.

“Would you help me hang it?” Apollo asked with a coy smile that Klavier definitely wanted to see more of in the future.  

“Ja, of course-” and leaned in to kiss Apollo.

The Great Sugar Debate

I had so much fun imagining this. Apollo and Athena fight like siblings and you cannot convince me otherwise.

“Oh for the love of- give me that!” Apollo hissed as he reached over and attempted to snatch the mixing bowl from Athena. “You’re doing it wrong!” He said as Athena just held the bowl above her head.

“Nu-uh!” Athena said. “I’m doing exactly what the recipe book said!” She exclaimed. Apollo narrowed his eyes.

“You put brown sugar in instead of regular sugar!” He exclaimed. Athena shrugged.

“It’s still sugar,” she said. “Brown sugar, white sugar, they’re the same thing,” she said.

“No they aren’t!” Apollo exclaimed. “They’re completely different!” He exclaimed. “One is brown and the other is white!” He exclaimed. “And for the recipe, we need white sugar!” He exclaimed.

“Wow, no need to be racist,” Athena said. “Er, sugarist.” Apollo huffed.

“MR. WRIGHT! ATHENA’S BEING A JERK AND IS SCREWING UP THE GINGERBREAD MIX!” He yelled as he tried to reach up and grab the bowl again. Athena’s eyes narrowed.

“POLLY IS BEING A SUGARIST!” She cried.

“BROWN SUGAR AND WHITE SUGAR ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!” Apollo shouted back.

“NO THEY AREN’T! THEY’RE BOTH SUGAR!” Athena cried.

“YES THEY ARE!”

“NO THEY AREN’T!”

“Good lord, this sounds like the ladder vs. stepladder debate Maya and I have,” Phoenix said, causing the younger lawyers to look at him. “Come on kids, get along,” he said with a grin.

“But Mr. Wright, she’s ruined the batter!” Apollo exclaimed. Phoenix just laughed.

“Did she now?” He said as he walked over to the pair. “What did she do?” He asked.

“I used brown sugar instead of white sugar because it’s just sugar,” Athena said.

“Well, you’re right,” Phoenix said, causing Athena to smirk. “But brown sugar does have molasses added to it,” he said before shrugging. “So it’s sweeter,” he explained. Apollo smirked.

“Told you,” he said. Athena just stuck her tongue out at him.

“Well, I’m not redoing this,” she said.

“Fine,” Apollo said. “Then I’ll make my own batch,” he said as he grabbed another bowl. “And mine will be better,” he said.

“We’ll see about that,” Athena said.

“We’re making sugar cookies next, right?” Trucy asked, causing Apollo to look up from where he was mixing ingredients together. Phoenix shrugged.

“Sure,” he said. “I don’t see why not,” he said.

“Oh, I promised Simon some peanut butter buttons, so we need to do that at some point,” Athena said as she started putting the dough on a pan.

“Don’t forget that we’re doing snickerdoodles around seven,” Phoenix said. “Miles loves them and I want to make sure they’re still warm for him,” he said.

“You’re lucky, you weren’t given instructions to bring as many cookies as possible,” Apollo said as he put his own dough on a pan. “Clay just wants cookies,” he said with a chuckle. “And don’t get me started on what Klav likes,” he said. Trucy hummed.

“Those are the honey cookies, right?” She asked. Apollo nodded.

“Yeah. He made a comment about missing them the other night,” he said. “And I figured that, since we’re here making stuff, I could at least try to make him some,” he said. Athena let out a gasp.

“You didn’t tell me that you wanted to make honey cookies!” She cried. “Polly, those are the absolute BEST!” She exclaimed.

“Huh. Actually, I wonder if Miles ever had them,” Phoenix said.

“Well, let’s make some for everyone!” Trucy exclaimed as she bounced on the balls of her feet. “They do sound good,” she said before her eyes widened as the oven dinged. Phoenix grinned.

“Well, looks like your cookies are done,” he said. “I’ll put them on the cooling rack, you three start on the sugar cookies,” he said.

“I’ll get the white sugar!” Apollo said.

“I’ll get the brown sugar!” Athena said at the exact same time. The pair paused before they looked at each other.

“WE NEED TO USE WHITE SUGAR!”

“BROWN SUGAR! IT’S THE EXACT SAME!”

“NO IT ISN’T!”

“YES IT IS!”
