The Melody of Logic

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney

Klavier/Apollo

He looked smug and confident. This case was far from clear and Apollo was confused as heck. So how could Klavier Gavin look so damn sure of himself? Was there something he missed? Could the other man have already figured it out? It was so unlikely, and yet... Apollo couldn't say that it was entirely impossible.

During the recess, he decided it was his job to find out.

"U-uh... P-prosecutor Gavin?" He asked, catching up to the handsome prosecutor. His smile was dazzling, Apollo had to admit. It caught him slightly off guard every time. "This case... do you understand it? I believe in my client and I know she's innocent, but... I don't get it. I don't know how to prove it... I don't know how to turn it around."

Klavier laughed and shook his head. "Ah ah ah! You must be crazy to ask the prosecution for those kinds of answers. We're on opposite sides, I remind you, Forehead boy." There was that grin, crooked, deadly and perfect.

"Prosecutor Gavin!" Apollo gasped. "You may be a prosecutor, but you're also an honest man. I trust your judgment, so... laugh all you want, but I'll ask again. What do you know about the truth of this case, Mr. Gavin? You look like you know something, while I'm still so very confused..."

There was no hiding his shock. "Hmm... them there are powerful words. I do know something. And I'll share it with you."

Apollo had asked in all honesty and he meant everything he said. Still, he hadn't actually expected an answer. He expected a 'find it out for yourself' after tormenting him some more. But Klavier honestly looked like he had something to share.

"Some advice, Justice... and something a musician such as myself would know... 'The melody of logic always plays the notes of truth.' And that's a fact." Apollo's face must have reflected how shocked he was. It was a beautiful saying, and he wanted to believe it for all it was worth. Looking at the clock, he smiled. In the end he DID get a 'find it out yourself' answer. Time was up...

Klavier smirked and winked at him slyly. "Okay, Forehead boy. Time to go back. If you wanna hear the truth, Apollo, you're gonna have to sing for me. If it's you, I know you'll be able to find the right melody."

"And therefore, the truth."

A/N: Okay, say what you will – I haven't played the game, but already I love this pairing. Mainly because of an awesome doujinshi my friend got me for the holidays, but… what can I say, it's AMAZING. Anyway, I wanted to start out with something sweet. I might add a few drabbles here and there to this if anyone likes it and shares my love for this pairing. Please review, thanks! I won't be writing any real spoilers since I don't want to spoil myself so don't worry about that. Until later!
