Author's Notes: Oh chapter 4! …This chapter was complicated to write, really… It took me some time. Thanks for the reviews, and thanks for reading, and thanks for everything else. :)

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from the Ace Attorney series, and you know I don't… :(

Phoenix awoke in the next morning with a terrible headache. Last night was little sleep for the lawyer; he spent almost the whole night thinking of what to say to Edgeworth in the airport.

What should I do? I don't have hopes of making him give up of this trip ... I don't know if I should try ... Maybe I really was being childish ... I know he didn't choose to make this trip, so I have to understand that he has to do it ... right? He thought, making his head hurt even more.

He then stood up, looking at the clock, only then realizing how much was late.

"Oh no, I'm late!" He said, changing his clothes and running as fast as he could. Arriving in front of his apartment he found Maya, who was waiting for him.

"Good morning Nick, you're late, and I knew you'd be late, that's why I've left the taxi waiting for you! Now go!" She said, without further explanation.

"Thank you, Maya." He said, entering the taxi.

"Good luck with Mr. Edgeworth, and don't forget my burgers!" It was the last thing she said before the taxi go.

Phoenix then gave a last look at the clock. I hope to get there in time. I need to see him one last time before he go, even though it is difficult to say goodbye to him.

Edgeworth was at the airport, waiting the hour of his flight, and waiting for something more, or someone. He glanced at his phone, but there was no message, no missed call. He hadn't spoken to Phoenix from the time he announced his departure, and there was no sign that he would bid him farewell.

What a fool I am, he obviously will not come to say goodbye. He's probably hurt and I do not blame him ... He was right, I'm leaving him again. The prosecutor thought, feeling sad.

Then closed his eyes, remembering the words that Maya had told him yesterday.

"Maybe it doesn't make much difference for you to spend a year or more away from him, but it does for him, because he loves you!"

That is a lie. It makes difference to me too, because I love him. If It didn't I wouldn't be hesitating to go as I am now ... I never thought twice before going anywhere, but now ... He thought, opening his eyes, which were filled with tears.

I'm really doing the right thing?

"Oh God, don't tell me it's too late." Phoenix said, running toward the airport. Once inside, he began to look at all sides, looking for any sign of the prosecutor. He then looked in front of him and there he was, with his back turned to him, still not realizing his presence.

"Miles!" He called him, with a breathless voice.

Edgeworth heard Phoenix calling him and turned toward him, looking at him, still remaining silent, not knowing what to say.

Phoenix then came closer.

"Miles ... I'm sorry. I ... I was really being childish, I can't get me intruding on your work, and I understand that this trip is important for you ... " He said looking at the floor, not wanting Edgeworth to look at his eyes, which were filled with tears.

Edgeworth felt tears coming into his eyes, and before that Phoenix realized, the prosecutor was at his side, putting his arms around him and hugging him.

"Don't apologize Phoenix, I'm the one who has to apologize ... I'm the one who's leaving ... I'm the one who's hurting you. I'm sorry."

"Miles ... Don't apologize anymore. Even not wanting you to go, I understand that you have to go." Phoenix said, returning the hug.

He and Edgeworth stayed like this for some time, in silence, just enjoying these last moments that they had together. But Phoenix, knowing that their time was short, began to speak again.

"... I'll wait for you Miles. No matter how long I have to wait ... I would wait all my life if necessary." He said, looking into the prosecutor's eyes, tears falling from his eyes.

Edgeworth then closed his eyes, kissing Phoenix passionately, tears also falling from his eyes. Then moved away from Phoenix, looking into his eyes.

"Phoenix ... I've never hesitated to go on trips before, because I never had a real home, never had anyone who was waiting for my return ... But now is different ... because now I have someone who will wait for me, who will miss me when I'm away ... because now I have a home ... And my home is here with you. " He said, kissing Phoenix again.

They stayed like this until the time of his flight. Phoenix moved away from him slowly when he heard the boarding call.

"It's your flight." Phoenix said, feeling sad.

"...I know." Edgeworth replied with a sad smile on his face.

"I love you." Phoenix said, giving one last kiss on his boyfriend.

"I love you too." The prosecutor said, finally moving away from Phoenix, walking away, and stopping to look at Phoenix one last time before boarding.

The lawyer stood there, watching the plane going away, so he finally couldn't take it anymore, sitting on the floor and crying uncontrollably.

"Farewell, my love…"
