What if that was.. before miles and nick got to realize they were ticklish?? But miles remembers from back when they were kids??

"Wright, are you okay? Are you sick? You seem quite red." Genuinely concerned, but then that turns into a ticklish discovery of sorts >:3
Lying Lawyer || Ace Attorney Tk Fic
A/N: AAAAA ADRIEN!! yes yes it's the most amazing conversation we had ever in discord kajxjejd ace attorney will always be one of my biggest hyperfixations!! hope you enjoy!!
Inside the court, it grew more and more intense as the trial went on, despite it just starting 30 minutes ago. As it went on, Maya couldn't help but notice a leaf was stuck at the edge of Phoenix's collar when he ducked down to grab something to testify against Edgeworth's accusation. She meerly went and took the leaf off, but whilst she did that, her and the court's eye's widdened as he let out a shriek.
"Wright? What is the matter?" The judge asked, Phoenix turned to see Miles try and piece together in his mind for what got him to make that noise, "No, no! I simply saw a spider and jumped was all!" He waved off, smiling nervously. His cheeks grew increasingly red, and his mind was racing so fast that it was blurred, Miles had still been working the gears in his head, before a sudden smirk placed onto his face. Phoenix attempted to continue the trial, only to mess up each try, so Edgeworth interrupted, "Judge, sorry to interrupt but I think we need to call in a break." He said formerly, the judge had nodded and clanked his gavel down, "A 15 minute break will be insued, I trust Wright will gather his thoughts back, no?" He asked, earning a quick nod as they all were dismissed.
As Phoenix reached the back of a private room, he took the moment to think, only to yelp when Miles had him against the wall, he had his hands pinned between his underarms so he couldn't slither away, his strength drastically higher than Phoenix's, "I know there wasn't any insects in that court, Wright, so, I thought back as to what would make you make a noise like that, just to have some.. childhood memories." The same smirk from earlier enlaced his facial features, his hand clawing at his side, whenever to went to squirm to the other side, his other hand would catch it and claw there too, only for the process to repeat until he was using Edgeworth's shoulder's to try and keep himself held up, his laughter piling up in the back of his throat.
The tickly memories of when they were kids, having turns in tickling eachother, but whenever Edgeworth did this move? It always meant he wasn't going to escape until he got his answers. "IhiHIhihit was n-noho-GAHAH!? WAIT! WAHAHAHAIT!" Guffawed the blue suited male, his entire body falling to the floor, unfortunately, Edgeworth had started to knead against his hip's while he was distracted, making him get in this position. "Wright, you know how much I feel about liars, I find it insulting that you'd dare to lie infront of my face." His face and voice was blunt, but they both knew it'd still fluster the other badly, making him snort, "IHI KNOHOW! JUHUST- BWAHAH! MEHERCY!"
"You know how to make this stop, Phoenix." Claimed the other, shaking his head tauntingly, only to barely hear the whine Phoenix's had emitted from it, "Oh? Does every little move I make fluster you?" He asked nonchalantly, his smirk widdening as he nodded helplessly, "OKAHAY, MAHAYA TIHICKLED ME, THAHATS IT! I SWEHEAR!" Edgeworth could hear the truth lace his voice, as he stopped, he couldn't help but scoff and chuckle at him, "How childish, see you back in trial." He waltzed off, listening to Phoenix scramble to get up and get back himself, fixing his slightly messy look.
As they entered the room, the judge looked over, "Is Wright feeling better, Edgeworth?" He asked, Phoenix physically quivering when he saw him grin, "Oh yes, he was just tickled pink, nothing serious." He winked at Phoenix, earning a scowl, "Great, let the trial continue." And with that, Phoenix had to suffer through this embarrassing moment for ages to come.
This was supposed to be a quick little drabble, but I have no self control and it got away from me. No matter, Ace Attorney needs more fluffy fics like this. Phoenix is so fucking cute when he’s embarrassed, and I probably made Edgeworth more teasy than he’d actually be. But that’s okay your honor, they’re smitten.
Miles Edgeworth was a composed man. He didn't often joke around and laughed rarely. His smile was more of a snide smirk, even when it was genuine. And to top it all off, he had an air of superiority about him, like he was too good for anything even mildly amusing. Which is why Phoenix was determined to make him crack.
"Y'know Miles, even though you were an uptight kid, you still knew how to have fun," he noted. Edgeworth cocked a brow, glancing up from the magazine he was reading. "Is that so?"
"Mhm."
"Your point being..." he prompted, trailing off as he went back to reading. Phoenix shrugged, the hint of a smile on his face.
"I don't know. I just never thought you'd grow up to be such a stick in the mud," he said, hoping to gain a reaction from him. Edgeworth stiffened, hands clenching and crinkling the pages as he glared at him.
"Excuse me, what did you just call me?" he said through his teeth.
"You heard me. Or do you need hearing aids?" he asked smugly. Miles knew he was just messing with him. Trying to rile him up. And he shouldn't give him what he wanted. But oh, how he wanted to play along.
"You're the one who needs hearing aids, old man," he said, a teasing note in his voice.
Phoenix chuckled and shook his head. "We're the same age, so you basically called yourself old." Edgeworth looked up, eyes wide and hair falling in his face. "Nhg- You know damn well that's not what I meant!" he said, slamming a fist on the table.
He merely smirked, propping his feet on Edgeworth's desk and leaned back in his chair. He even put his hands behind his head in a show of defiance. "Do I?" Miles glared harder and grabbed his ankles, shoving them off the desk. Phoenix flailed his arms to regain his balance as the chair teetered on its back legs.
Edgeworth hummed as he steadied himself. "Pity, I was hoping you'd fall."
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" he teased, leaning forward this time. Miles rolled his eyes and went back to reading. Phoenix huffed in annoyance when he was ignored. He stretched his leg out under the table and lightly stepped on the toe of his shoe.
He grunted and pulled his foot away, only for Wright to repeat the motion. He looked at him from over the top of his magazine. "Is there a reason why you're more insufferable than usual?" he asked.
The truth of the matter was that Phoenix thought he was unbelievably cute when aggravated. And deep down, he was a little shit.
"Nope," he said, popping the "p."
"What are we, five years old now?" Miles asked incredulously.
Phoenix shrugged. "Hey, I'd rather have a mental age of five than 50," he sassed.
"Wright. You are testing my patience, and you don't want to know what will happen when it runs out," he warned.
"You know what? I think I do actually," he taunted. Edgeworth let out a deep sigh and stood, straightening the collar of his suit jacket.
"Very well. If you want to act like a child, I'll treat you like one." Phoenix cocked his head to the side, staying still as he watched his old friend come closer. As Miles loomed over him, only then did he falter. He gave a nervous chuckle and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Uh, Miles? You got that scary look on your face that you use in court. Y-you know I was only joking, right?" he asked, trying to appear as innocent as possible.
"Believe me, I'm well aware. However, your little jokes aren't near as amusing as you may think. Don't worry, I'll give you something to laugh about." Before Wright could question him, he poked a single finger in his exposed armpit. He yelped and immediately slammed his arm to his side.
"You know what? You're right, I was being stupid and childish, I'll leave you alone now, I promise!" he rambled.
Edgeworth shook his head and tsked. "You will leave me alone. As soon as I teach you a lesson." When he took another step forward, Phoenix rose from his chair, standing behind it to use it as a shield.
"B-but you're usually so mature! I thought you'd be above something as childish as ti- as this!" he said, face turning bright red as he stuttered and failed to say the word. This only made Edgeworth's smirk grow.
"Normally I am. But you bring out the best in me Wright. Certainly a bit of immaturity is required to deal with you."
They stood there, just staring at each other for a solid 10 seconds. Phoenix's eyes darted to the side before he made a dash for the door. Miles easily caught him, arm wrapping around his waist and pulling him into his clutches.
"No no nohoho I'm sorry!" he giggled, shoving at his arm. Miles dug his fingers into his sides and he burst into bubbly laughter.
"For some reason, I don't believe you. You know, you're awfully cocky for someone who's so ticklish," he mused playfully. Phoenix's blush darkened and he covered his face with one hand.
"Shuhuhut uhuhup!"
"Why should I? You obviously can't make me in your state," he teased. He began kneading his soft belly and his laughter deepened and his thrashing increased. It was a bright and slightly goofy sound, and it was perfectly fitting for the ace attorney.
"Mihihiles dohohon't!" he whined through his frantic giggles.
"Don't what? Come on Wright, use your words," he goaded, one hand scratching up his ribs. The only response he got in return was a loud squeal. "Glad to see my memory is serving me well. Does Larry still abuse this knowledge?" he asked, amusement clear in his voice.
"Yehehes okay? Nohohow quit ihihit!" he giggled, curling in on himself. His arms flailed about uselessly as Miles squeezed and prodded his belly. He snorted loudly and blushed profusely, hiding his embarrassed face in his hands.
Edgeworth barked out a laugh. "I forgot how you snort when you laugh too hard. How hilariously charming," he teased. Poor Phoenix was dying of embarrassment.
"Nohoho it's nohohot!" he argued, followed by another snort.
"Sure it is. And don't even get me started on this spot," he taunted, reaching up to scratch the nape of his neck. Phoenix arched his back with a shrill screech of laughter, leaning into Miles. He fell into a bubbly stream of giggles, not even bothering to fight back anymore. Not that he could get away even if he tried; Edgeworth was stronger than he looked.
"Still just as ticklish as when we were kids," he mused, shaking his head fondly. It was only when Phoenix started to hiccup through his hysterical laughter that he finally showed mercy.
He helped steady him as he regained his breath. "Yo- hic-you jeherk!" he scolded, cheeks still burning red. Miles rolled his eyes.
"Yes, I know. I'm truly the worst," he joked along. They both chuckled.
"If you think I'm gonna leave you alone after that, you're wrong. I can't just let you get away with an attack like that! I have to annoy you twice as much now," Wright said, crossing his arms.
He merely shrugged, smirk growing. "In that case, I'll just have to tickle you twice as much."
Phoenix flinched and took a step back, a bead of sweat rolling down his forehead. "N-no you can't!"
"Oh can't I?" he asked, arching a brow. He cocked his head to the side in amusement. "I'd think again before testing my patience. Unless you're keen on finding out what I can really dish out," he warned, even winking at him. Phoenix whined and hid his face in his hands.
"I forgot how insufferable you can be," he grumbled.
"Well then you're really not going to like what I'm about to say."
Phoenix felt his heart both flutter and sink to the pit of his stomach at the same time. "What?" he asked, because the curiosity was going to eat him alive.
"I recall you admitting that you found all of this to be fun," he said with a triumphant smile. Wright's mouth gaped open, face turning pale before his blush came back in full force at the very accurate accusation.
"Wha- I- we were kids! Of course I liked it back then, it was playful roughhousing! I grew out of it!" he claimed, desperate to reclaim some of his dignity.
Edgeworth tutted, shaking his head. "Oh please, you know I'm too smart to believe that. You even went as far as to provoke me into action, resorting to your old methods in the hope that I would remember."
Phoenix was left speechless... Miles really hit the nail on the head with that one. He groaned, admitting defeat and flopping into the chair at the desk. He rest his head on the cool wood, wrapping his arms around his face to shield himself from Edgeworth's gaze.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of Wright. I find it rather amusing myself," he teased, sitting in the opposite chair. He looked up to glare at him.
"Of course you do."
"Oh please. Teasing's half of the fun. You told me so yourself."
Phoenix's eyes narrowed. "No I didn't." Then his eyes widened as he thought it over. "Wait, did I?" he asked aloud, more to himself than to Miles.
He shrugged. "No, but the fact you believed you could have only proves my point."
He let out a small, frustrated scream and slammed his head back down on the desk as Edgeworth's snide chuckling filled the air.
a while back u mentioned u were thinking about wrightworth and i was wondering if u had any tickly hcs for them? 👉👈 i have strong them brainrot currently (especially for lee!edgey) and im p sure there’s like only 5 fics for them and i’ve read them all a million times by now rip
I’m fucking foaming at the mouth I had so much written down already but tumblr crapped the hell out. But I’m not as tipsy as earlier so hopefully I can write faster.
But anyways they’re childhood friends so of course they know each other’s spots. But over the years they kinda forgot. Nothing a good ol’ fashioned tickle fights can’t fix!
I feel like Phoenix is most ticklish on his neck/ears, ribs, sides & belly while Miles’ worst spots are his armpits, hips, thighs & knees.
It’s canonically proven that Wright is very easily embarrassed. Like he always blushes & grumbles Omsk or covers his face.
On the other hand, Edgeworth gets angy & defensive when he’s flustered. His face goes all red & he recoils & holds his arm out in front of him, gritting his teeth. You know the pose I’m talking about.
Phoenix is SUCH a playful teaser you can’t tell me otherwise. He uses quick & precise movements & likes to point out which spots are worse & he’s not opposed to the condescending baby talk kind of teases. When he does that he legit pisses Edgeworth off but like, in a fun way.
He on the other hand is very serious when he’s the ler. Even tho he’s having fun, he likes to school his features to look stern while he’s tickling him. Almost like it’s a chore to turn Wright into as squealing giggling mess. But it’s inevitable that he ends up smiling down at him, but it’s almost always a cocky & smug smirk. & if he’s really feeling evil, he’ll even mock his laugh which makes Phoenix turn beet red!
Wright’s laugh is a very bright & joyous sound! It’s very bubbly & cute & is pretty infectious. Even just hearing him laugh is enough to make Edgeworth blush! It’s loud & once you get him laughing, he doesn’t bother to hold it back. He also has the cutest giggles!
Ok so Edgeworth’s laugh… Y’all it’s so fucking smooth & rich & all around adorable! He tries with all his might not to break. Like he’ll close his eyes & scrunch up his face to keep from laughing. He bites his lip a lot & it literally makes Phoenix melt. He’ll even shake his head & kind of huff out a laugh every once in a while until he finally laughs. It’s deep & honestly very charming, & it has sort of a rumble to it.
Miles likes to point out how much Phoenix loves it & it makes him flustered beyond belief! He’ll stutter out a quick excuse & defend himself like “Wha- no I don’t! Why on earth would you say that?” & Miles is so smug like “Because you make it so painfully obvious.” Which makes Phoenix stutter & he’s blushing & starting to sweat a lil cause he’s onto him. But he makes the mistake of saying that he has no proof & so he starts rattling off about all the minor little details that show just how much he likes it, & he’s always so teasy & proud when he does it. “Well for starters you always try to start something you can’t finish. You never try to stop me and just let your arms flail about uselessly. I already know that you enjoy laughing and you always seem happier and more relaxed after I wreck you. You constantly try to provoke me & “pout” whenever I don’t fall for it.” Poor guy tries to deny it all but it’s so painfully accurate that his mouth just keeps opening & closing as he fails to come up with an argument.
I finished these up today & am no longer drunk but I fucking love these & could talk about them forever.
Also where the hell have you found 5 fics? 👀 I can’t find shit
Exit: I can’t believe I left out how Edgeworth will curl into the tightest ball if you try to get him. Phoenix has definitely snuck up & attacked him & if he keeps it up long enough he starts to curl up & sink to the ground. It’s so damn cute!
A continuation to my glasses headcannon: on the flip side, Edgeworth often has his glasses smudged by Phoenix during tickle fights, due to his habit of shoving his face away (as detailed in a previous headcannon), so the next time, Edgeworth takes off his glasses first before tickling the defense attorney senseless. Phoenix often jokes if he does it so that "you can't be distracted by my handsome face", while Edgeworth retorts that "I wouldn't have to take them off if you stop pushing my face away". :3
Bsnajwknc these gay lawyers legit own my ass, they’re so fucking cute. Phoenix is such a squirmy ass lee, he can’t help but shove him away! It’s not his fault he always goes for the face lol. So basically Miles taking off his glasses=Phoenix getting wrecked. & likewise Phoenix taking off the glasses=Edgeworth getting wrecked. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
I will never get enough of these 2, or any of the ace attorney crew for that matter!
Imagine it going something like this when Edgeworth reveals one of Phoenix's spots to Maya:
"Edgeworth, you traitor!! Why are you giving her advice?!"
"Because he's the one between the two of you who actually does pay attention when watching the Steel Samurai with me!"
shakes head with arms out looking all smug and smirks (you know the pose) "You know what they say, Wright - keep your friends close, and your enemies closer... enough for them to stab you in the back." - :3 anon
Nskanfjf that’s so cute! That’s exactly how it goes down! Phoenix would be so shocked that he wouldn’t help him & feel utterly betrayed lol. & Maya & Edgeworth bond over bullying him.
& I know EXACTLY what pose you’re talking about, that smug ass bastard. He just loves to taunt him
Here's a headcannon I have: Maya is super devious when she has the upper hand. The first time she attacked Phoenix in the middle of commercial while they were watching TV, he didn't even have the strength to push her away. (Funny side note: maybe Edgeworth came in right at the moment of the crime and had to decide between extracting Phoenix from the torture or just being an ass and leaving, because he's affectionately jerkish like that, even after mellowing out and becoming Dadworth.) - :3
Thanks so much hun! You’re the best!💗
This is so cuuuute! Maya would show no mercy lol. & I like to think Phoenix goes all weak when he’s tickled so he can’t muster the strength to defend himself. &) I LOVE to think that Edgeworth would walk in at that moment! Let’s be real tho, he’d have no sympathy for him in that situation, (cause he knows he likes it) so there’s no way he’d help out unless he needed to talk to him right then. But it’s so funny to imagine him walking in & smirking like “well I can see you’re busy. I’ll come back later” & leave him laughing & begging for his help. Or he could help Maya out instead. Or my personal favorite, he just crosses his arms over his chest & leans against the door to watch the show. He’d have the smuggest grin on his face & would totally coach Maya on what techniques & spots to try. Poor Wright is a giggly flustered mess by the end of it hehe
Phoenix has the habit of pushing Miles away by pushing his face whenever he's getting tickled. Miles gets a little huffy about his bangs getting messed up, but Phoenix knows he doesn't really mind. :3
AAAAAWWWW that is SO damn cute & 100% canon! Phoenix totally seems like the type of person to shove people away by their face! Idk why, but that’s a trope I fucking adore. Miles thinks it’s annoyingly endearing & highkey loves it when he does that
