A eventful court break
-----------------------------------------------
Hihii! I decided to try my hand at writing since I'm "good" at it (According to teachers)
Anyway! Woe! Wrightworth tickles be upon ye!!
Context: This was based on a RP with a moot!
-----------------------------------------------
The court had called a 15 minute court recess to allow the both the defense and prosecution time to skim over the case again, since the court had been active for 2 hours at that point. Pheonix felt it was a good idea to go over the case with Edgeworth's help. Edgeworth didn't feel so open to sharing what he knew though.
Pheonix had followed Edgeworth into his office, in an attempt to reason with him.
-------------------
"Wright, for the last time, I am NOT going over this case with you" Edgeworth huffed, pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance
"Edgeworth, please? You never used to be this distant!" Pheonix replied, growing increasingly more exhasperated at how cold his old friend had grown.
"That was a long time ago Wright, things simply aren't the same." Edgeworth stated.
"You used to be such an open, caring guy! What happened?" Pheonix said, recalling the countless moments of kindness and joy they had as kids.
"What are you on about, Wright? I was never this open, soft person you claim I was." Edgeworth sighed, hoping Pheonix would just drop it. It made him feel things no respectable prosecutor should. He had gotten rid of these unnecessary feelings a long time ago... right?
"Pfft, are you serious? You used to be the nicest person I knew. Even though you hid it from others, you never hid your soft side from me." Wright snickered, remembering their playfights and tick-... That's it! He thought. That's what i should try! Even if it doesn't make him go over the case with me, maybe- just maybe- he'll open up a little?
A smirk spread across Pheonix's face, not going unnoticed by Edgeworth.
"Wright, what in the world is with that strange expression if yours?" Edgeworth asked nervously. There was a part of him, hidden deeply inside of his mind, that instantly felt uneasy and nervous upon seeing Wright's smile. It was mischevious, and sprung up memories of their childhood playfights- tickle fights actually.
"Miles.. do you remember when we used to wrestle as kids?" Pheonix said in a chillingly smooth voice.
"W-Wright, what's with that look? What on earth are you thinking?" Edgeworth nervously stuttered, a small warmth spreading across his cheeks.
"Oh, I just found your 'tough guy' act amusing, after all... we both know how sensitive you are~" Pheonix purred, making Edgeworth shift nervously on the velvety red loveseat.
"Wright I-" before Edgeworth had time to finish his sentance, Pheonix had already pinned his hands to the soft arm rest.
"Wright, what the devil are you-!" He yelped before immediatly shutting up at Pheonix's following words.
"Hey, you might not want to yell. After all, it'd be a strange look for the defense to be found hovering on top of the prosecution~" Wright's wording and tone instantly caused a blush to creep it's way onto Edgeworth's face.
"What's this? The legendary 'demon prosecutor' is lost for words? Oh, you're even blushing!" Pheonix commented, becoming more and more smug by the second. If Edgeworth didn't try to take him down a peg, he'd be a goner for sure.
"W-Wright, if this is how you want to play, then fine. If I were you I wouldn't act all high and mighty, after all, I know how to have you begging in seconds" Edgeworth retorded with fake confidence, hoping Wright would fall for it- sure enough he did.
"Wh- I-" Pheonix stuttered, his grip on Edgeworth's wrists faltering. "W-well, I'm not a kid anymore, I've outgrown t- that." He huffed, hoping Edgeworth would drop it.
"Really, Pheonix? Honestly, I bet I'd be able to get you off of me in seconds, considering how sensitive your hips are." Edgeworth continued, growing more confident.
Pheonix's face burned red as he desperately tried to keep Edgeworth's hands from getting loose.
"Wh- Well Miles, why haven't you pushed me off yet? I bet the bailiff will be back any second to-" Pheonix started to balbber, hoping edgeworth would forget about his threats.
"You know what Wright? Good call~" Edgeworth said right as he pulled his hands out of Pheonix's grip and started kneading his lower ribs.
"Wahahait! Mihiles doHONT-!" Pheonix tries to grab Edgeworth's wrists as his entire body jolted at the ticklish sensations, and in the same motion he twisted sideways causing him to fall onto the loveseat, leaving him more vulnerable.
"Ehedgeworth thihis ihisn't- AhAHA-!" Pheonix laughed, kicking his legs as edgeworth straddles across his waist.
"Fair? Hm. Neither is pinning me down with your body weight" Edgeworth said, allowing a small smile to cross his usually ridgid features.
"Grrhrrr- NahaHAO EdgewohoHOrth! Thehe Bailiff WiHILL beHe here AhaHAny SEHECOND!" Pheonix growled, attempting to stifle his laughter, but failing miserably.
"Guess I'd better hurry to the best spot then, hm? If I remember correctly it's riiight... here!" Edgewort smirked as he worked his way up Pheonix's ribs as if he was playing the piano before digging into the ribs just slightly below his underarms.
"NOHO MIHIHILES PLEHEASE-" His laughter is cut off by a snort. "Oh, you still snort? How childish~" Edgeworth smiled, no ill intent being carried by his words.
"MIHILES PLEHEHEASE- NOHOT NOHOW-" His laugh was peppered with squeaks and snorts that made Edgeworth's stomach feel all fluttery.
"Okay, ohokay" Edgeworth chuckled, letting up on Pheonix and getting off of him. He watched Wright's smile and listened to his breathless giggles. As soon as they had both stood back up to recouperate the bailiff called them back to court over the radio. Miles smirked at Pheonix one final time and said"Not now, huh?~" before they went back into court.
Perhaps those feelings weren't as unecessary as he first felt they were.
