I want to tease and ask if you’re jealous, but you don’t seem the type.
[ If anything, Miles might just be extremely trained in how he presents himself to others, then also accepts events as experiences he can properly handle. Gojou can see that, he can picture it. Miles tolerates so much...
Anyway!! Maus! Is back! He scoops the little Pom and lifts him up like he’s simba. Then he properly puts the dog down so he can snap the leash onto his collar like a reasonable, responsible adult. ]
That’s fine with me! I’d rather know some than none? Being in... [ One moment as he tries to remember. ] Germany is pretty cool.
Whatever would I be jealous for? You're the one who's courting me. [shut up, edgeworth. gojou continues to have a good read on him. he isn't the jealous type, though he is the type that would prefer attention on him if it's a situation that calls for it. otherwise, he's been trained to react to an astronomical number of events without batting an eye (ignoring some of the most ridiculous cases he's ever been a part of.)
maus wags his tail and wiggles in gojou's hands, but he sits primly and properly while he waits for his leash to be attached. miles takes the leash and turns without warning, heading back toward the front door with the assurance gojou's going to follow.]
It's a beautiful country. I studied here for most of my schooling after my father passed away. [it isn't the happiest of memories, but it is comfortable.] Not to mention it's incredibly different than Los Angeles. Though you would probably enjoy that as well.
[once they're outside, down and out the gate, there's a brief bump of his hand against gojou's to guide him before he begins to walk down the sidewalk. the neighborhood's nice, at least, with lots of similar apartments and trees, grass, etc. maus seems to know exactly where he's going so it's not like miles really has to pay attention.]
[ He squints, but nods anyway because Miles is right. Little by little, Gojou’s starting to see why some people find him obnoxious or difficult to deal with—through Miles. Only because they sometimes make similar statements with similar deliveries, just the tone and aura is different.
Wherever Miles goes, Gojou follows, and he even steals that hand that bumped into his. It’s confident in how he interlaces their fingers and swings their hands a little back and forth. ]
If you wanted to hold hands, you could have aaaasked.
[ stupid. Anyway, wow! Things are peaceful—no curses. Weird. ]
I’ll just have to trust you on that prediction since I’ve never been to the states, either. [ But yes he would fit in LA so well I don’t want to think about it. ] It is nice here... Reminds me I’d like to travel sometime! Wish my job allowed that.
[ Says Gojou... Here in Germany with Miles. He meant he wish his job regularly included traveling outside of Japan. ]
[weird isn't it? miles himself doesn't realize it and he also doesn't think there's anything weird about his behavior, so he does nothing to adjust it.
the handholding is allowed though. gojou's fingers interlace with his and the returning grip is a little more solid even as the hand holding maus's leash reaches up to push at his face. shut upppp.]
It's far busier. Crowded. Exhausting in a different way. [literally nobody would bat an eye at gojou in la.] Not that I'm not...you being here is fine, of course, but I have been meaning to ask. Aren't you needed for your job?
[did curses just, like, disappear? what happened here.]
[ It is okay. It's just something for Gojou to note that he likes people that do the same thing since Medb also does exactly that. They're all more asshole-shaped than he expected? Is what this is.
He groaaaans when Miles goes for his face, leaving him with crooked sunglasses. They will stay crooked. ]
Sounds kind of like Tokyo.
[ But he imagines it's more spacious? That's what he has read. Gojou frames his chin with his free hand, index finger and thumb pointed with a stupid amount of ✨confidence✨. ]
Don't worry about that. When I got out of the box, everything was concentrated in the city, so I cleaned up and we captured the big baddie. He's being interrogated at headquarters right now, so things are pretty calm! Everyone can handle the leftover missions. Of course, I will check in with them just in case when you're working.
[7rings was truly an asshole game. he thinks about fixing the sunglasses, but he doesn't. if gojou wants to fix them, he has a free hand that he's currently doing dumb things with.]
There are areas known as Little Tokyo, so you may not be too far off. [but he drops the subject soon after, more openly intrigued by the talks of tokyo and sorcery.]
So it's more that you're working remotely while on vacation. [fair enough.] ...that's a good thing then. You won't have to return right away and there might even be a bit of peace for the time being, correct?
[the thought's a little nicer than he wants to openly admit.]
[ Miles just really wants to listen to Japanese harry potter. The glasses stay crooked, then. ]
Exactly that! Things are manageable, though I consider it a calm before another storm. The universe will always bring things into balance, after all. [ He hums, then nods some more. ] Maybe I should check in twice a day. Yeah, that sounds good. Once around the morning, then another in the evening?
[ It becomes mumbles to himself as he looks at the changing scenery, then he comes back to talk to Miles directly again. ]
Until then, I'm going to enjoy my vacation—oh, if you plan to have people over, I can also dip, too.
[i hate that. but he's taking all of that into account, nodding in agreement as maus leads them on their walk. as they begin to draw away from the neighborhood, it becomes clear there's a small set of cafes and markets not far from the apartment. it isn't anything big or busy, but it's decent for anything quick.]
Manageable is enough for now, I suppose. Though I do hope you told your students you were leaving them behind on. You know your schedule better than I do. [so he can check in whenever he wants.
with that, he raises both eyebrows.]
I haven't had anyone over to my place since I've returned, Satoru. [the way he says it seems to imply that should have been obvious?] Though that's likely due to the fact Franziska hasn't quite realized I'm here permanently for the time being.
[miles has colleagues and people he works with but they're not the kind of people he brings home.]
They’re used to me being on mission trips, so it isn’t too different. I do have some lesson plans for them that I’ll need to personally cover, but I have penciled in dates for that.
[ Gojou and Miles shaking hands in not telling people what they’re doing.
Aw! This area is quaint and Gojou can’t help but think it kind of reminds him of Tokyo suburbs further away from the city bustle. It’s, of course, different in a lot of ways, but the atmosphere is the same.
It’s homely... But that’s mixed in with whatever Miles tells him. He. Hadn’t told people? That he’s here? Tilting his head, Gojou wonders if more people don’t know. That’s fine. Miles is an adult, but— ]
Aren’t you feeling lonely?
[ He can ask this cause technically he does see someone every day. ]
You're actually organized. [don't sound so shocked, miles? but the area is quaint and quiet and that's precisely why he likes it. the busier parts of the city aren't very far away, but for a place to live this is the kind of environment that suits him best.
he continues to look a bit perplexed at the question though.]
What does that matter? [it's not entirely an answer, but it's answer enough.] I have things to do and I like my solitude.
[...but it's very strange being alone now after being at that settlement and at that base for several months. weird. loneliness is a thing he's grown used to and it doesn't exactly bother him until he thinks about it for too long. so, naturally, he doesn't think about it.]
[ Gojou merely bops Miles with their joined hands for that cheeky statement tinted in surprise. Bitch, listen. Sometimes he is and those sometimes count. Let’s not think about the times he just dumps his missions onto his kids, yeah.
His lips quickly form a frown for a particular reason, though it’s hard to take him seriously with crooked sunglasses. ]
While I don’t care about patchface still, he’s right about a handful of things. Humans are social creatures blah blah blah.
[ He seems more irritated talking about Mahito than he did before, but he waves his free hand, gesturing to forget about flea. Gojou lingers on the cafe storefronts, but follows wherever Maus takes them and pauses when the little Pom does. ]
When were you planning to see any of your friends?
[ Usually, Gojou would let Miles go during their times at the station, but those moments are gone now that he thinks that they’re at the very least friends. There’s a smidge of worry? But also curiosity? Is Miles actually lone wolf? ]
[he's allowed to privately think that he can't decide if he should feel sorry for gojou's students or not, but it's fine. he doesn't have to say it out loud? he does make a face at the mention of mahito because he also does not want to actually admit that he's maybe right about things.
nevertheless, maus is jauntily trotting along at a decent pace, stopping to sniff at trees and the like. it gives them time to enjoy the scenic route and it gives miles the time to think of what to say to that.]
...eventually, I suppose. It isn't as though I don't keep in touch via mail and the like. There are other things to figure out first before I can bother with a vacation myself.
[which is completely untrue because miles could work from anywhere in the world, but he chose the opposite end of the planet from the people who know him best for a reason.]
[ HIS STUDENTS ARE DOING FINE. For now. Gojou is quick to focus on a point that's drawn out by Miles' statement alongside others; this specifically is the last nail in the coffin. Tilting his head, he looks at him while they take a break with Maus investigating this tree in particular. ]
This is your escape.
[ Miles? Gojou had assumed everything was nearby when he popped out of the portal—his workplace, his friends... You know, the things he likes. He snickers and the smile on his face is so smug. He practically bats sparkles at Miles with each unnecessary blink. ]
Fortunately for you, I will keep you company! Only some solitude is in your future now, Miles Edgeworth.
[the words are very ominous at first because he misinterprets them, not quite getting what gojou means until he thinks it over again. truth be told...yes. this place is an escape, it's someplace he goes to drop out of sight while he works in the background to get better at his job and receive the qualifications necessary to be bigger and better.
but explaining that won't go over well, he assumes, because he thinks gojou has a very specific idea in mind. especially given that look...]
How very fortunate. [the tone is dry and he's blinking in surprise, but he's trying to decide if that's really a curse or if it's acceptable. it's not like he can't work around him, but...] And when you grow bored? What then?
[it's not even necessarily a real thing, but he does wonder how patient gojou will be while he's working. nevertheless he's still. holding his hand. so it's probably a question meant to put up a feeble defense while also already accepting this turn of events.]
[ To be honest, Gojou wouldn't nag Miles over it. He would just want to make sure the guy gets enough social interaction with people he likes? No more lonely! He drums his fingers against Miles' knuckles... Cause, yeah, he has to keep himself occupied. ]
I'm not a needy pet, you know. [ Hehe. ] We're not close to separating humans and cursed energy, but that doesn't mean I can't map out change implementation and transition plans for my family. Maybe for the others, too, since they're going to be against it. They're really annoying! Super loud, too.
[ Some people prefer to keep a high risk field just because that's all they know. Gojou thought the same when he first came to the base, finding it weird when Yuri asked why he wouldn't want to wish for cursed energy to disappear. It's effective, isn't it? Even if abrupt... A world without curses—would Suguru be able to laugh from his heart? ]
There's plenty to do here, anyway. If you're too busy, I can play with Maus, I can go on walks with Maus or just go on walks, I can read some books or some case reports from home, check out some places here... Use the internet? Try cooking or something. All the works of being a regular person!
Are you sure? [partially joking but also, hm.] ...creating an effect response plan is much more efficient than waiting for something to change. At least that way you're more aware of what could potentially go wrong and how to fix it, too.
[that is to say he gets just being busy consistently and actually just carrying on the way they had before. isn't that why he's here? he could have wished for things to go right with the law again and to clear wright and blackquill's names, but no.
...still...]
No offense to you, and I only ask to abate my own curiosity, but have you ever lived as a regular person?
I can show you needy if that’s what you really want.
[ Don’t do it, Miles. You already have a dog and you’ve seen how you couldn’t handle Gojou nor Mahito, granted one wanted more of your attention than the other. Gojou’s prepared to be 100% clingy.
He hums as he swings their hands back and forth again. His gaze is drawn to the few people that are around, like he’s looking for a reference. ]
My abilities are destructive, not convenient, so you can say I live parts of my life like a regular person? I enjoy hobbies and figure out what to eat like everyone else. Only perk I have is that I don’t need to worry about bringing an umbrella anywhere, but... “regular person” is a mindset, isn’t it.
[ hmm. ]
Sexy murder station was the closest I’ve gotten to being normal which is probably the opposite for you, right?
[he raises an eyebrow, but he doesn't reply to that. gojou's idea of clingy sounds horrifying, frankly, but acknowledging it would only give him leverage to continue to try. so instead, lets his gaze wander toward where maus is and lets their hands swing while silently wondering "what the fuck" in very loud internal monologue.]
And given you've always had those abilities, I suppose going backwards and not having them was jarring. [an observation, but he shrugs at that.] There were some things about the base that were familiar and some that were not. The more monstrous sides were new, but the way things worked and the consistent murders weren't entirely out of my depth. I suppose you could say it was the most time I've spent around so many people in close capacity though.
[miles isn't necessarily a lone wolf by nature, but he does tend to value only a few close relationships and keep everyone else at a distance.]
[ Such safe choices, Miles... It will save your ass from what Gojou considers clingy as hell. The gentle sway of their hands stay while his free hand pulls off his sunglasses, lifting them up to appraise them. They are pitch black. ]
Yeah, definitely, though I didn't mind it too much. It was nice being able to see everything normally instead of in 4K HD except times a thousand.
[ He puts them on Miles! ]
Always working wherever you go. I did mean mostly the monster and the power parts, unless there's something supernatural about being an attorney you haven't told me about.
[one minute miles is staring at gojou's eyes and trying not to think about the fact that they're nice to look at. the next, the world is dark and there's a stifled noise of surprise.]
Something you wish to regain? [he does nothing for a moment but he soon he pushes the glasses up the bridge of his nose a bit to secure them.]
I never told you about the spirit mediums? [the way he says it is with a ton of incredulity, but it's also something that's true and something he's had to accept.]
[ Just ask him to lay next to you on your bed and just stare at his eyes, Miles. Be confident like Medb. Since he decided to keep Gojou's opaque sunglasses, he makes sure the guy doesn't walk into anything. ]
Without the Six Eyes, using my cursed techniques would be draining... Not that I'll need to worry about that when cursed energy is eradicated. A trade is a trade. Reminds me I should show you when we get back to your place!
[ Since he doesn't know what will happen at home, how close that future is, or even if his death is near. While he doesn't say anything first, Gojou cocks an eyebrow as he combs through his brain. Spirit mediums. ]
Not enough where I would remember it in detail, but sometimes I steamroll you in conversations. [ (Un)Fortunately, he's aware. ] Aren't they a sham, usually? We have them, too. Self-acclaimed and all.
[no??? also thanks for making sure he doesn't eat shit. maus is oblivious and begins to lead them onward again.]
Only if it makes sense to do so. [don't go out of your way, he means, but it isn't necessarily a no either because naturally he's interested. all the same, he shrugs.]
You do have a habit of not shutting up when it's appropriate. [flatly. but he's also tolerated it enough that it doesn't bother him (much.)] I believe most of them are, and I still don't entirely understand it myself, but...there is a clan that seems to really possess psychic abilities. Wright's former assistant is one. If I hadn't seen things happen with my own eyes, I don't think I would believe it either. Prior to the last few years, I did think they were a sham...especially given what happened with my father's case.
[because ace attorney is like this and of course a medium was brought in to contact the ghost of miles' father.]
[ If only Miles sassed him or acted too stubborn, then he would let him just walk into things. ]
Why wouldn't I want to show off a bit? I'm trying to charm you. [ A reminder with a wink aimed at him, then another reminder: ] Opposites attract, Mister I Keep Everything Inside.
[ While Miles explains a little more, Gojou's face slowly twists in confusion. The frown and furrowed brow are brimming with doubt. HAA???? WHAT IS ACE ATTORNEY??? Despite being the strongest sorcerer and seeing some weird ass shit, THIS IS WEIRD TO HIM, more so that it's coming straight from Miles' mouth. Sure, possible, but insanely rare. ]
I've seen on TV before that they'd bring mediums to talk to the dead and stuff, but I thought it was all staged. [ is. is gojou the normal one right now. ] All right, tell me what you saw that made you a believer.
Is that actually a proven fact or is it just inane drivel people say to justify their attraction to what's unlikely? [wow. very lovely, edgeworth. but he seems thoughtful about it and judging by how he adjusts his hold on gojou's hand to keep it steady it isn't even entirely meant to be an insult.
and then of course. yeah. there's this weird bullshit and given he's so factual about it that sure is how you know it's true.]
Which part do you want to hear about first? The ghost that was exorcised after we had her testify on the witness stand, or the psycho locks surrounding people's hearts?
[...they are called psyche locks and miles will never remember what they're actually called. it's fine.]
[ That's for Miles to figure out since he's more experienced in that, isn't he? Gojou can't mansplain opposites attracting in science and think of ways around the water/oil combination if Miles uses that as a counter because he's more interested in GHOSTS.
He does, however, brush his thumb against a finger and continues rubbing. Idle habits for the touchy person he is. ]
Exorcism is normal for me, even though we don't see actual ghosts... Let alone ghosts that can testify in court.
[ what the fuck. His eyes shine at the term he knows absolutely nothing about. ]
Sooo the last one! Psycho locks or whatever you said! It sounds like it's from a videogame.

Only if it makes sense to do so. [don't go out of your way, he means, but it isn't necessarily a no either because naturally he's interested. all the same, he shrugs.]
You do have a habit of not shutting up when it's appropriate. [flatly. but he's also tolerated it enough that it doesn't bother him (much.)] I believe most of them are, and I still don't entirely understand it myself, but...there is a clan that seems to really possess psychic abilities. Wright's former assistant is one. If I hadn't seen things happen with my own eyes, I don't think I would believe it either. Prior to the last few years, I did think they were a sham...especially given what happened with my father's case.
[because ace attorney is like this and of course a medium was brought in to contact the ghost of miles' father.]

Why wouldn't I want to show off a bit? I'm trying to charm you. [ A reminder with a wink aimed at him, then another reminder: ] Opposites attract, Mister I Keep Everything Inside.
[ While Miles explains a little more, Gojou's face slowly twists in confusion. The frown and furrowed brow are brimming with doubt. HAA???? WHAT IS ACE ATTORNEY??? Despite being the strongest sorcerer and seeing some weird ass shit, THIS IS WEIRD TO HIM, more so that it's coming straight from Miles' mouth. Sure, possible, but insanely rare. ]
I've seen on TV before that they'd bring mediums to talk to the dead and stuff, but I thought it was all staged. [ is. is gojou the normal one right now. ] All right, tell me what you saw that made you a believer.
[ softly: what the fuck ]
no subject
and then of course. yeah. there's this weird bullshit and given he's so factual about it that sure is how you know it's true.]
Which part do you want to hear about first? The ghost that was exorcised after we had her testify on the witness stand, or the psycho locks surrounding people's hearts?
[...they are called psyche locks and miles will never remember what they're actually called. it's fine.]
no subject
He does, however, brush his thumb against a finger and continues rubbing. Idle habits for the touchy person he is. ]
Exorcism is normal for me, even though we don't see actual ghosts... Let alone ghosts that can testify in court.
[ what the fuck. His eyes shine at the term he knows absolutely nothing about. ]
Sooo the last one! Psycho locks or whatever you said! It sounds like it's from a videogame.
