Y/N p.o.v

What did I get myself into.
The next thing I know, I hold half of the case files as Apollo Justice himself explains me the details of the case.

"A man called Robin Moni was caught in security cameras while robbing a bank. After he got out, a body of a security guard was found in a blind spot of the security cameras.
It was at night, and there was blood found on one of Robin's stolen money bags, and the police thinks that he beat him to death with the heavy money bag. This is a trial for the murder, the theft will be discussed later.
Did you understand?"
Apollo asked me.
I felt really strange, like something lighting inside me. I'm feeling a little more comfortable with him.

"I got it.
I'm just... really nervous.
I don't feel ready..."
I sigh, sweating a little.

"Y/N, it's going to be alright. Take a deep breath and believe in yourself.
The only thing you need to do is to try and learn from this experience."
He had a reassuring smile.
I was still visibly anxious.

"Hmm... you know what? Here is something I do to relieve stress before trials. Just do what I do:
MY NAME APOLLO JUSTICE AND I'M FINE!"

"Y-You want me to j-just shout like that?!"

"Exectly. Trust me, you won't regret it."

"U-Ummm... uh... M-My name is Y-Y/N L/N and I'm fine..."
I mumbled.

"Come on, Y/N! Be loud! Be proud!"
He put his hands on my shoulders. My heart skipped a beat for some reason.

"MY NAME IS Y/N L/N AND I'M FINE!"
I shouted.

"Well, how do you feel?"
Apollo asked, excited.

"B-Better, actually. T-Thanks."
I smiled.

"Haha! Great!
Oh, look at the time! Only a few minutes left. We can do this!
Just believe in our client."

Our... client...
I'm working on a case.
My first case.
With Apollo Justice by my side and Phoenix Wright watching over me.
I took a deep breath.
Everything is happening so fast...

Suddenly, I had something I really quickly needed to do.

"Um, Apollo, wait, I have to do a short phone call."
I said. Apollo nodded.

Apollo opened the heavy door, letting me go first.
I couldn't help but blush.
This wide smile, the kind mannered, his belief in me...
Makes me feel nice. Warm and fuzzy inside. Like there were a bunch of butterflies in me.

I took the stand next to him, staring at the files, reading everything again briefly.

"We meet again, Herr forehead."
The rockstar said as he entered the room, walking to our stand.
He had a slight German accent.

"Good morning, Klavier."
Apollo sighed, already used to how Klavier calls him.

"And who's that fair maiden next to you?"
Klavier leaned on our table.

"M-Me...?"
That was a very stupid thing to say. Like, who else?

"Yes, fräulein, you."
He chuckled.

"Y-Y/N L/N..."
I managed to say.

"I see that you are an attorney. Is this your first time?"

I really struggled to answer him.

"Y/N here will help me in this trial, as a little learning experience."
Apollo saved me.

"That's an honor, fräulein.
After all, forehead and I are the best in fair trials.
Well, the trial is about to begin. Good luck, you'll need it."
Klavier winked at both of us, bowing slightly. Then he kissed the back of my hand, leaving to his stand on the other side of the room. I felt nothing.

The judge arrived, climbing to his stand. I looked behind me, and both of the Wrights gave me a thumbs up.

"Are you okay, Y/N?"
Apollo put a hand on my shoulder, and it took me all my willpower not to blush.

"I-I'm fine! Just... excited!"
I quickly blurted out.

"Calm down, you know everything there is to know. I'm sure that you'll feel more comfortable when the court will already be in session.
The prosecution has a very closed case, but it's our job to try and find the holes in it."

"R-Right."
I felt even more butterflies, and I looked back at my papers.

I can't be actually falling for him, c-can I...?
