Description
Anxiety crept into your soul as you stood in front of the door. It had never felt so difficult to simply knock. It may have been because of your nerves, but the door seemed ten times bigger than it really was. You swallowed hard as the thought of your crush sitting behind his desk crossed your mind. When you walked inside … would he look up only to silently judge you and cast you aside like an old glove? There was only one way to find out.
You inhaled deeply as you placed your hand on the door handle and exhaled as you turned it. Summoning all the courage you had left, you gently opened the door. Slowly and surely, it revealed the impressive office before you. Books stacked from floor to ceiling in a bookcase on the right, a framed red jacket hanging above a red leather sofa on the left and right in the centre was an impressive wooden desk, almost buried in files and not a person in sight. You let out a relieved sigh
“Thank goodness … I’ll just come back later” You mumbled
Just as you were about to go back out, curiosity began to crawl into your heart. It couldn’t hurt to look around … right? Before you knew it, you were snooping in the desk draws and checking out the files on the desk, even though you knew it was probably breaking some privacy law somewhere
“Wow … who knew a local prosecutor was so busy …?” You muttered
Unfortunately, in putting a file down, you accidently knocked a pen off the desk. Letting out a surprised squeak, you bent down to pick it up
“Oh my. I’m sure that position you’re in isn’t very ladylike”
A sudden shiver shot up your spine. You knew that cool, calm and collected voice anywhere. Miles Edgeworth, the prosecutor … the silver haired fox that you had a small crush on ever since you heard about him on the news. You followed his trials religiously and even attended a few and later became his assistant, bringing him cases and running around after him in the courtroom. And now you were bent over … your butt on full display for him to see. You let out a scream as you stood up straight and turned around
“AHHH! I’m sorry! I was just …”
Being nosy?” He said, raising an eyebrow
“No, no, no, no!” You cried, covering your face with your hands
You took a moment to compose yourself and you took a deep breath
“S-sorry. I’ll just go … ok? No harm done?” You chuckled
“You know … I don’t appreciate my assistant being nosy” He said, folding his arms
His facial expression was stoic as always … but you thought that for a moment you saw a slight smirk
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I won’t do it again! I won’t do it again! I won’t do it again! I won’t do it again! I won’t do it again!” You cried
You began to hurriedly organise his files as he took a seat behind his desk and sighed. Your face became a darkened crimson as you felt his eyes follow your shaking hands as you put the files into piles and into alphabetical order

“You don’t have to do that you know. I could do that” Edgeworth said
You looked up at him and to your surprise … he was UNDRESSING!
“GAAAAAAAAAH!” You squealed “C-Cover yourself immediately!”
“ … [Name], I’m only taking off my jacket. I’m not exactly exposing skin right now” He said, raising an eyebrow
“B-but it’s inappropriate to undress in public!” You said, frowning
You saw him roll his eyes as he folds his arms. An awkward atmosphere began to descend on the room, especially when Edgeworth leaned back in his chair
“What are you doing here, [Name]?” He asked
“W-well … um … I … uh …”
Every opportunity you had, you would talk to anyone and everyone about how wonderful Edgeworth was. But now, as you actually stood in his presence, you lost your nerve. No words would come, only shy stutters and half sentences that went nowhere
“[Name], relax. Take a deep breath … and tell me what’s on your mind” He said
For some reason, his calm tone of voice calmed your nerves and you plucked up all the courage you could muster
“Mr Edgeworth, I-“
“Miles, please”
Scarlet washed over your face as your heart almost stopped beating from the shock. You swallowed hard, processing the fact he had just given you permission to use his first name
“M-Miles … um … I”
“You’ve been my assistant for almost a year now, yes?” He asked, standing up from behind his desk
“Y-yes” You squeaked
You wanted to run for the hills as he approached you, but you were frozen to the spot like a rabbit caught in the headlights of a car
“M-Miles …?”
You were barely able to whisper his name as he stood before you and placed a hand on your trembling shoulder

“I saw the way you looked at him the last time you were watching one of my trials” He said, with a hint of sadness in his eyes
“You mean during the Steel Samurai trial? Wh-who?” You asked, confused
“Phoenix … I’ve seen the way you look at him from the Gallery” He said
“N-no! I wasn’t … it wasn’t Phoenix I’ve been looking at” You said, fidgeting
You noticed the confusion in his face, which you couldn’t help but let out a little laugh
“I was sitting behind you … it was you, Miles. It’s always been you” You said with a shy smile
“Me?”
“Yes. You”
He looked very surprised and a light dusting of pink began to form on his cheeks. He seemed lost for words and confused
“Wh-why me?” He asked
“Why not you, Miles? You’re honest, you’re sweet … and you’re cute” You giggled
“Cute?” He said, with a slight squeak to his voice
You stood on your tip-toes, about to kiss him on the cheek, but his head turned at the last second so instead of his cheek, you ended up kissing him on the lips. You jumped back and let out a shrill cry. Before you could say anything, he took hold of your cheeks and tilted your head up
“M-Miles?” You breathed
Suddenly, his phone rang. He let out a long sigh as he let go of you and answered it, leaving you standing there with a bright red face and feeling like the luckiest person in the universe
“Miles Edgeworth speaking? Yes? …. I see. I understand. See you there”
He hung up and back behind his desk
“Gumshoe just called. Another case has just come up. We’ll have to finish this later” He said, putting his jacket back on
“H-huh? What do you mean finish this later?” You asked, your voice becoming very high pitched
Without another word, he handed you a piece of paper and left with a smile on his face. You followed behind him, and as you did so you looked at the paper and, to your surprise, he had written an address with the words

“So you don’t have to drop by the office to see me”

The End
