ooh for drawing requests, klavier and ema? :)

he just wanted the autopsy report 😔

[thelocalmuffin]

💌 !

I decided to write some klapollo for you! It’s been a while, so I hope you enjoy! 

Summary: Apollo forgets what day it is when he finally agrees to that restaurant date. Klavier, to his relief, finds it hilarious. 

It's around 600 words.

Dinner was fantastic. 

Apollo has never been to a place as exquisite as this one. He just always internally accepted the fact that luxury wasn’t something he was going to experience in his life. He bounced from foster home to foster home, just hoping he’d have a better future one day.

Today, he can say he has. He’s crafted his current situation all on his own and he has pride in that. He’s an accomplished lawyer, is self assured, and knows he will build a secure life for himself. 

Though he will admit he’s always been curious about what luxury was like. The extravagant restaurants, the fast cars, and wearing clothes more than his salary. Though it was always more of a ‘why would people throw money around like that’ than anything else. 

Now he’s finally experienced it, it’s another thing he can assure himself he can make it and it will be fine. Okay, he’s giving himself too much credit for what has unfolded today. 

Someone had treated him today. 

Finally, the person he accompanied on this meal speaks up. “Danke for accompanying me today. That would’ve been sehr awkward if I went all by myself to abendessen by myself, ja?”

Abendessen…

Must be some German word he hasn’t caught on yet. It must mean meal or something like that. Apollo shrugs his shoulders, knowing either he’ll figure it out eventually, or Prosecutor Gavin will be froh to explain. 

Oh, great, he’s thinking like the prosecutor too. 

He must be spending too much time with him if he’s influencing his thoughts like this. 

Apollo decides to not make this more awkward than it already is and speaks up. “Yeah. Thanks for having me.”

“Bitte.” Prosecutor Gavin flashes a stunning smile before leaning against the railing, observing the stream flowing in front of the restaurant. “So, do you have any plans, Herr Forehead?”

“After this? Probably snuggle with my cat and catch up on some series I’ve been watching.”

“Wirklich?” The prosecutor raises an eyebrow with a scoff. “On Valentine’s Day?”

Oh. 

He hadn’t noticed it was Valentine’s Day. He’s been so busy with paperwork. (And if he’s honest, keeping every corner of the Wright Agency clean.) This day hadn’t meant much to him in the past since he wasn’t actually considering going out with anyone. 

Well. Until recently. 

Now he’s somehow gotten himself a date by accident on Valentine’s Day. Ironically, with the person he keeps trying to subtly glance at for a second more when he walks in the room. He actually won’t deny he finds his rival attractive and he’s pleasant company, even if he is sort of strange. 

“...Would you believe me if I said I didn’t realize today was Valentine’s Day and I just thought we were going out to dinner as colleagues?” Apollo admits with a light flush on his face, thankful the sun has already begun to set so the prosecutor can’t see his embarrassment. 

To his shock, the prosecutor’s beautiful blue eyes glisten before he bursts into a fit of laughter. That laughter is replaced with a bright smile as he composes himself. “Ja, that does sound like something you would do. Well, you’re already here. I was thinking of going to the kino. What do you say?”

He hasn’t heard that one. “What’s a kino?”

“Oh, a movie theater.” Prosecutor Gavin explains with a shrug. "I'm not sure if it'll be packed, but we can check."

Apollo crosses his arms before tapping his forehead. He’s already here, after all. He nods. “You know what? Why not? I’ll warn you, I didn’t bring a Valentine’s gift.”

Prosecutor Gavin’s smile only widens at the response. “Nein. Don’t worry about that. Your company is more than enough.”

for the bingo ask game! how about simon blackquill and/or athena?

Sure, I'll do both! Although admittedly I have not played AA5 since it's release. I should change that..

Simon is such a goddamn loveable bastard. Such a good character whose dark humour and cheekiness truly give me life. I love that his steely, monotone appearance is practically opposite to how his heart operates. As someone who used to primarily wear black, but will carefully escorts a bug out onto the porch when they get lost inside the house, it's the kinda personality/aesthetic rule break I'm here for. I don't recall enough about him in a canon sense to comfortably deep dive anywhere but I will say that I feel like he's a character writers and artists seem to be able to capture effortlessly even when they think they didn't. He's always a treat to read or see drawing of. I'm guessing he's a relatable dude for a lot of us and I love being able to see him depicted in so many ways and still be able to think, "That's so Simon. What a goof." He's a cool, selfless, dude with a big heart and someone who will also murder your enemies should any of them ever wrong you.

Plus he has a freaking hawk and can break metal chains with his bare hands, how cool is that??

Athena! I think she's quirky, fun, and adds beautifully to the WAA dynamic. It's truly a shame that her and a lot of the AA5+ universe is neglected for the most part. I really love that she has her demons but seemingly juggles them well and is also willing to face them head on. Her attitude and courage is lovely, while her gift/ability is unique and clever, in my opinion. I love that her and Simon can bring more of the emotional impact of a case into the courtroom. Monitoring one's mental health is important, y'all, especially after traumatic events. Having Athena being able to help witnesses dig up harmful memories they may have suppressed is just *chef's kiss.* Bless you, Athena. Keep up the amazing work. We appreciate you, girl.

Oh, also going to tack on that I love her overall design. The yellow and orange is bold and suits her so well. I think her tie placement is a little silly but artistic liberties and all that; Widget takes priority haha. The outfit has this perfect balance of like.. sporty yet professional, if that makes any sense? IDK, she's a good bean. I wish her nothing but the best.

for the ask game - 14, 32, 33?

Hello there, Skye! Thanks for the questions.

14. what’s something you’ve always wanted to do but maybe been to scared to do?

Hmmmmmm. That's a good question. Fear isn't usually what stops me from doing something, but I suppose if there is a chance I might die, that would lower my consideration of doing it, yes lol. So probably something like cliff diving or scuba diving. Heights, deep water, and my brain do not typically get along. But I am a curious man and a thrill seeker so I would love to do these types of activities if given the opportunity and could muster up the courage.

32. how many tabs do you have open right now?

See, this question has two answers to me. Active tabs? 4. I hate clutter and typically can't stand more than 3-6 tabs open. BUT, I do admittedly have a folder in my browser full of tabs with inspiration for a world I've been building for a couple years now. I tend to forget it's there until inspiration strike but if I include what's in that folder? A painfully high count of 36 tabs.

33. any hobbies?

Yes, quite a few! I enjoy collecting merchandise of my various interests, collecting Pokemon TCG singles, clay sculpting, needle felting, console/pc gaming, scenic walks, and of course doing digital art.
