"I'm home!" you shouted, closing the front door behind you. It'd been, by all means, a fairly average day at your workplace. You couldn't say anything particularly interesting had happened… but sometimes, when looking up at space, that's for the best.
"Welcome back!" you heard your boyfriend, Phoenix, respond from the kitchen. You smiled, and hung up your coat by the door. Making your way into the kitchen, you noticed that he'd just finished washing his hands. Lightly shaking the water off them, he moved in to wrap his arms around you, planting a big kiss on your cheek.
"Eww, your hands are still wet!" You laughed, playfully pushing him away.
"Barely," he responded, a grin grossing his face. "So, how was your day?"
"Boring," you sighed. "Though, I can confirm the stars are as beautiful as ever."
"Too bad we can't see 'em with the naked eye in L.A. You think they'll ever let you keep one of the fancy telescopes at your work?" Phoenix asked, only half jokingly.
"Those are wayyy too big to take home, Phoenix," you smiled. "Anyway, enough about me. How was your day?"
His expression immediately dropped. "Not great…"
"All the evidence is stacked against them?" you continued.
Phoenix sighed. "Same as always."
"Aww, you'll pull through," you said. "You always do. Now, what're we gonna make for dinner?"
He glanced at you sheepishly. "You know, spending so much time with Maya lately has given me a real craving for burgers…"
"I would've thought after how many times you've taken her to get them, you'd be all burger'd out by now."
"You'd think so, huh? But anyway, do homemade burgers work for you? I picked up the stuff for them on the way back."
The both of you washed your hands (Phoenix, for a second time), and began to prepare the ingredients.
"So, when's the trial?" you asked.
Phoenix gave you a look, and you immediately knew what it meant. "Tomorrow, huh?"
He nodded, as he began chopping an onion. "They never give us time for these things. Just go 'here's the defendant, you'll get your evidence in court tomorrow! Pssh, who needs time to prepare? Not lawyers!' I mean, I get a file to read over, but it always just says the same things I'll hear in court the next day."
"That's rough," you sympathized, kneading the spices into the ground meat. "What's the defendant like this time around?"
"Zookeeper," he responded. "Accused of pushing the victim into the lion enclosure. You know, it's really hard to prove someone didn't do that. To make it worse, the defendant and the victim have had a ton of conflict in the past… and the defendant is the lion enclosure's main keeper."
You frowned. "That's a tough one… but it's also the perfect scenario to allow someone to frame the defendant."
Phoenix added the diced onion to the meat mixture. "That's what I was thinking."
"You met the defendant today, right? What'd you think of them?" you asked, flattening balls of the meat mixture into patties. "Do they seem like they did it?"
He looked at you inquisitively. "Would I have taken someone's case if they did? Ah, actually, don't answer that. But no, she doesn't seem like she did it."
"I'm just glad you're not defending Maya again," you said. "How has she been, anyway? Staying out of trouble, I hope?"
Phoenix rolled his eyes. "Well, she hasn't been arrested in a while, but she still steals things from crime scenes all the time. I keep telling her I won't be able to bail her out or defend her if she gets caught, but she never listens…"
You tried to stifle a laugh, but it didn't work. "Really?"
He nodded, redirecting his focus to chopping vegetables while you watched over the sizzling patties in the pan.
"Unfortunately, the evidence she steals has been crucial to more than one case…" he sighed. "Do you think those are done yet?"
You carefully inspected the patties. "Yeah, I think so."
The two of you assembled your burgers, and moved over to the kitchen table to eat them. More conversation was had over dinner, mostly to do with the other goings-on of the day. What your coworkers had been talking about, which prosecutor Phoenix would be facing the next day, and how he was sure these burgers would be his last for a while.
"Hmm…" you pondered, just having finished your meal. "Do you wanna watch a movie? It's fine if you can't, though, I understand that you're busy."
He smiled at you, and you could swear your heart skipped a beat. "You know what? Sure. It's not that late yet. Let's watch a movie. Got any suggestions?"
You smiled mischievously back at him. "Interstellar."
"Ah, of course. You're such a nerd…" he shook his head fondly. "Alright."
The two of you settled in on the couch, and you immediately rested your head on his shoulder as he sat down. You swore you saw his face flush slightly at the touch. He grabbed the remote and turned the TV on, leafing through options before finding Interstellar and turning it on.
As soon as the movie began to play, he turned back to you. "Ah… thanks, by the way. For letting me rant to you about my job earlier. It really helps to have someone I can talk to about it."
"Oh, it was no problem at all!" You were quick to reply. "I like hearing about your life. And talking to you in general… it's nice."
He caressed the side of your face with his palm, leaning in close. You didn't dare back away, instead opting to pull him in closer, and soon enough you felt his lips on yours. It'd been a long time since you first kissed him, and while the two of you had kissed many times since, you didn't think you'd ever tire of the feeling.
Despite that, though, you broke away after a few moments. "That was great, Phoenix, but you need to pay attention to the movie."
|| Author’s Notes: I can’t tell if Phoenix is easy or hard to write. I mean, he’s such a normal guy… for Ace Attorney standards, anyway. Also, Len (the requester), you don’t need to draw me anything in return for this… but I won’t say no to it if you wanna draw rook for me 👀 ||
