Feelings Can't Hide !LESBIAN! (Athena Cykes X Reader) [Ace Attorney]

Chapter 3- Y/N L/N IS DOING FINE!

Y/N p.o.v

"So... she WAS there with you!"
Athena pointed at the defendant.
"Which means... you are covering for her!"

There was a dramatic pause.

...

She wasn't sure on how to continue.

Why would they be sad about their sister...?
I...
I think I know what happened...

"Three people met in the town's square at midnight. The defendant, their sister, and the victim.
You didn't want her to come with you, did you? You had plans to kill the man who destroyed your family business.
But she still came even though you forbided her to come.
She caught you killing him.
And the victim managed to throw THIS knife at her, killing her.
Filled with anger and grief, you hid her body, wiped her blood clean and stubbed the victim's corpse a few times with this knife that had his fingerprints.
...
You didn't have time to leave the scene. But you made sure not to leave any fingerprints, so you managed to make up this story and almost escape your punishment."
I sighed.

"...
It's tragic.
But you did commit a murder, so..."
I looked aside.

I heard the defendant breaking into tears.

They admitted to my theory, got the guilty verdict. Now they are getting escorted to the local jail.

"L/N-Dono.
I hope you are doing alright."
Blackquill approached me in the prosecutor's lobby. I left there after the trial, still needing to process this tragedy.

"Y-Yea, I just need some time to take it in.
I've prosecuted hundreds of cases, yet...
The truth... it's still hard.
If you get what I mean."
I sighed.

"You know what I do in situations like this? I just shout 'I'm fine!' out loud.
And it works. You should try it."
Another person with quite a loud voice approached me.
He was wearing a red suit with a blue tie. He had brown, pointy hair and a big, yellow bracelet, just like his attorney's badge.
Behind him were chief Edgeworth, Mr. Wright and... Athena.

"C'mon! Y/N L/N IS DOING FINE!"
MY EARS-

"Shout? I don't know..."

"You should trust Apollo, Y/N.
Here, I'll join.
Y/N L/N IS DOING FINE!"
Athena stood with Apollo, in front of me.

"A-Alright!"
I suddenly said.

"Y/N L/N IS DOING FINE!!!"
"Y/N L/N IS DOING FINE!!!"
"Y/N L/N IS DOING FINE!!!"
We shouted together.

"Better?"
She asked me.
So thoughtful...

"Y-Yes. Yes. I feel a little better."
I nodded.

"Well, now that your spirit's lifted, I am Apollo Justice. I used to work with 'thena under Mr. Wright."
He shaked my hand.

"Used to?"
He still has his badge, and seems like he is still with good terms with Mr. Wright...

"Mr. Justice is busy nowadays rebuilding a full justice system in the kingdom of Kuria'n, and he has his own company there."
Chief Edgeworth explained.

"Woah! Impressive!"

"Which reminds me- how's it going?"
Athena asked.

"Well, finally after a year, people feel much safer to go and study law. So I might get a little more help in there."

"Apollo, how about you go visit the office? Trucy doesn't know that you are here, so it'll be a nice surprise.
Everyone's invited to come along, too, of course."
Mr. Wright suggested.

"I apologise, but I'll have to decline the offer. I still have much to take care of in the office."
Chief Edgeworth sighed.

"Aww, bummer...
Simon, are you coming?"
Athena was filled with hope.

Simon? Who's Simo-
"Sorry, Cykes-Dono. I still have a complicated case to investigate with detective Skye-Dono."

BLACKQUILL'S FIRST NAME IS SIMON???

"You are no fun, Simon.
Are YOU coming, Y/N?"
She stepped closer to me.

"U-Uh..."
I was caught off-guard. I looked at Chief. He nodded.
"...l-looks like I'm f-f-free r-right n-now!"

Why am I stuttering?
WHY AM I STUTTERING?!

"Yeyyyyy!!! Let's go, everyone!
Bye, Simon!
Bye, Chief-prosecutor Edgeworth!"
She took me by the arm and led me out, Mr. Wright and Apollo following.

Athena seems very nice, and fun.
I'm sure we'll be good friends!

...

...but why do I feel and act so strange and unusual around her...?
