Something that sprung out of a conversation I had involving bad smut novels. Heh. Anyway, I am definitely not a NickXEdgeworth 'shipper, but somehow I was spurred to write this little bit of nonesense.

Phoenix Wright and all associated characters belong to Capcom, not I (though I wish they were mine).


"Wasn't it nice of Mr. Edgeworth to invite us all to come to this hot spring with him Pearly?" Maya said brightly.

"Yes…maybe you and Mr. Nick can have some…special time…" Pearl cried with delight.

"Pearly, what are you talking about? Hm, I wonder where Nick is anyway? I'll go find him," Maya said.

Pearl turned strawberry pink. "Okay Mystic Maya, I understand, I won't bother the two of you tonight," she tittered, bounding off. Maya shook her head and went to Nick's room. But when she reached the sliding paper door, the sound of voices met her ears.

"Oh yes, Edgeworth, I'm going to do it!" That was Nick…he sounded really weird.

"Wr-Wright, you're drunk, you don't know what you're doing." Hey, that was Mr. Edgeworth. What the heck? Maya moved closer to hear them.

"Edgeworth, you and I both knew this was coming…"

"Ah! S-stop!"

"You're looking so vulnerable right now."

"No, Wright, I…"

"Shut up Edgeworth, it will be less painful if you don't resist. Here it comes!"

Maya had heard quite enough. "Nick, what the hell are you…?" she screamed as she ripped the sliding doors open.

"King me, Edgeworth, king me!" roared Nick triumphantly.

"Wright, you bastard! I want a rematch!" Edgeworth snapped back.

"…Checkers," Maya said, with a heavy sigh of relief. "It was…just checkers."

"Oh hey Maya, you wanna play too? Edgeworth sucks!" Nick beamed.

"You just shut your mouth Wright," Edgeworth retorted. Maya smiled at them.

"Sure! I'll go get Pearly and we can all play!" She shot out of the room, leaving the two alone again. Nick and Edgeworth looked at each other.

"Do you think she suspects?" Edgeworth asked warily.

"Edgeworth," Phoenix smirked, placing a none too subtle hand on the other's thigh. "You worry too much."
