A NEW ADDITION.

what if you moved into their dorm instead of ramshackle? ( or, life in the heartslabyul dorm. )

includes: riddle rosehearts, trey clover, cater diamond, ace trappola, and deuce spade. ( gn!reader )

contains: fluff! can be interpreted as romantic or platonic, just really close.

more like this: masterlist.

[ riddle rosehearts | housewarden ]

riddle is very much 'all up in your business' for a lack of better words. he's always making sure your room is tidy and in peak condition.

if you have any issues at all, regarding the dorms or studies, he's the person (he'd like you) to go to. if he sees someone else helping you with something he exceeds in, he'll be down for a bit.

you become the dorms designated defense attorney, to stand up againt riddle whenever one of them gets in trouble. it's totally not because he has obvious favoritism.

whenever it's your turn to paint the roses red or take care of the flamingos and hedgehogs, he always joins you.

using the excues that 'it would hurt to go back to the basics after a while' but he knows it's because it's the only time you two get alone together, uninterrupted.

riddle convinces you to join the horseback riding club with him, or at least ride with him every once in the while. with no warning he may wake you bright and early just to say you'll be joining him.

[ trey clover | vice housewarden ]

errands have never been more fun. you guys are sam's biggest customers, as you shop for a majority of your dorm. it's nice not having to leave campus for such things.

whenever he goes out he asks if you need anything, on the rare occasions you don't join him.

he always gets or prepares dinner for you, riddle, and cater.

being the more approachable warden, most students come to him. upon seeing you're also a valuable person to go to for help or advice they do so.

at first, trey is very apologetic about the extra work but them becomes grateful when he sees it doesn't both you.

sometimes the freshman duo, but they mostly are out and about.

once a month, you two eat out at the lounge as a reward for the both of your hard efforts.

[ cater diamond | third year ]

barges in your room, if he's not already in there, while he's on live. no matter what you're doing. (of course, unless you tell him you're busy/srs beforehand.)

you're a reacurring face on his magecam, and they all love you. the amount of stan accounts is unreal.

your room is pretty much like his second one, he has his own corner even. each weekend he shows up to your door with a suitcase, 'cause the wardens won't let him stay on week nights.

on said weekends, you trick him into going 'grocery shopping' with you by disguising it as a 'snack run.'

he's always annoying you and asking for your opinion on everything.

he was very strategic and asks riddle to put you room next to his, when the warden says no he settles for a very specific room number for you. turns out you're now under his room and have to put up with his stomping.

if you listen carefully, you might be able to decipher morse code, but what do i know?

[ ace trappola | first year ] + [ deuce spade | first year ]

you three become inseparable, skipping down the heartslabyul halls with grim hanging onto your head for dear life.

ace is another one that is constantly bothering you, much unlike deuce who's just kinda there.

you three have weekly sleepovers in deuce's room, because it's the tidiest. and microwaveable dinner from sam's because none of you can afford the lounge.

when you go out for groceries, it's you and deuce getting the things you need and ace running around putting random items in your cart.

sometimes you guys sneak out of the dorms, and walk around the sleeping campus. you only head back when you exhale fog, knowing it's probably near morning.

you guys eat in the most obscure places, in school and your dorm. you always find hidden rooms in heartslabyul and make it your new 'spot' until you get caught and just find another when you do.

your punishments from riddle now consist of being unable to leave your rooms and see each other, telling other punished students to guard your bedrooms.

you one hundred percent have walkie talkies and peak out your window, judging poor passerby's outfits.

Headcanons of what's like to date Edgeworth, Godot, van Zieks, and Ryuunosuke?

What It’s Like Dating Them

Fandom: Ace Attorney

Characters: Miles Edgeworth, Godot (Diego Armando), Barok van Zieks, Ryunosuke Naruhodo

Type of Request: Headcanons

Notes: Here you go!!

Edgeworth

Doesn't know how to interact in a couple-y fashion. Just awkward about it, which he poorly hides. "Your face isn't displeasing." might be something he says because he's hopeless.

I can see Edgeworth enjoying affection (now and then) but not knowing how to ask for it. He's just stubborn and you should notice the looks he gives you. Not that he'd admit that he's craving a hug or anything.

Tries to hide his fears and stress from you. They're his weakness and he doesn't want you to see him weak. He wants to be strong for you so he tries to save face.

While communication and affection are his worst qualities, he loves to give you very well thought out gifts. Or, well thought out to him, you might need help deciphering the meaning of some presents he buys.

Godot

He teases you and tries to push your buttons constantly. Not in a mean way, but to see if you can keep up with him.

Of course, he does keep an eye out (or he tries to) to make sure he doesn’t press you too hard. He’d never want to upset you, just mess with you a bit.

This feels like a given, but he just smells like coffee. His house smells like coffee. It’s a comfortable sent and if you ever steal any clothing from him (which he absolutely teases you about, but is happy you did so) then it just smells like coffee and it’s comforting.

Some times he ends up having bad days. Just stuck in his own head, thinking about the past. He’ll go silent and it’d be a bit to snap him out of it. He tries to reassure you that he’s alright, but you can tell he’s a bit off.

Barok van Zieks

A lot like Edgeworth where he finds it difficult to have someone to rely on, but unlike Edgeworth, van Zieks gets comfortable a lot faster.

Also a gift giver but he also leaves notes or letters with the present that contain sweet words of how much he treasures you. Just please don't show it to anyone else, he'll be embarrassed (not that he’d admit it).

He can be a bit sassy. He tries to reign it in a bit at the beginning of the relationship so he doesn’t scare you away, but if you retaliate then he enjoys it. It’s like a little “battle of wits” and he finds it to be an enjoyable game.

Also one to get caught up in his head with thinking about the past or if his “curse” will come back again. He ends up trying to push it all aside and bottle it up (which is unhealthy) so you’ll have to remind him that it’s okay to let it out and talk about it.

Ryunosuke

He's rather shy in the relationship. Just many longing glances and stumbling of words when he wants to be affectionate and sweet (which he ends up still being cute with his fumbling).

There are moments after cases where adrenaline is pumping and he'll end up giving you a compliment or pull you in for a quick hug without realizing what he did. Gets a tad bashful when he does realize, but he doesn't regret it.

Anything, and I mean anything he does in the relationship, he's sure to make sure you're okay with it. Just asking if you're fine being touched or if you wouldn't mind him buying you something. Your happiness and comfort are number one to him.

Expect lots of dates that get interrupted because Iris or Sholmes joins at the dining table or something. Susato at least looks embarrassed and apologizes for interrupting, but the other two ends up making it a "family" date rather than a date date (which if the other two join then they'll get Susato in on it too).

oooo you want to talk about dele on tumblr soo bad ooooooo

I CAN'T BELIEVE I NEVER ACTUALLY RAMBLED ABOUT THEM ON HERE OH MY GOOOD I NEED TO FIX THIS. (Edit: This is a lie I did it once and entirely forgot about it. There's a lot more info in this one, though feel free to check the other one even if there's repeat information!!)

Anyways here's a list of things about Bredele de Cassonade I think y'all should know (with many accompanying links):

Bredele is intersex (designated AFAB though), and (kind of) identifies as Agender! They use They/He/Zem, but are fine with any other pronouns. It doesn't matter if you use masc, fem, or androgenous terms for them!!

Unlike Langue, they found their identity very easily since they really didn't care what they aligned with. It all felt silly to them. Langue would dog on them about not being "girly enough", but even then they didn't feel like a ""real girl"" (their body always functioned oddly due to being intersex), so! They're not!

They like growing their hair out and letting their facial hair grow in, but they rarely get to do that because of work. They did have longer hair in their school years before they chopped it off for the sake of their job. They let their stubble grow in when they're on vacation, though!!

Though when it comes to relationship, they CANNOT for the life of them figure out what they like. They last assigned themself to be asexual and androromantic, but even they're not sure. It's hard for them to decipher a lot of things emotionally, especially relationships with others.

They currently hold ""possible relationship interest"" in Milk, Espresso, and Cream Cheese Tea.

Their pet is called Ditzboard, who's a ditzy little thing who trip and falls and does all manner of clumsy things but never drops its documents!!

Autism. They bit things as a child and still do sometimes when under stress. They get overstimulated, they hate the sound of their own heartbeat, they have specific tastes in food and textures, they have shutdowns (and meltdowns), they don't understand social cues very well outside of what they've had to teach themself... They also do a lot to themself to make themself feel ALIVE, though I won't specify what here.

They've held an interest in doctors since they were a kid. Hell, as a kid their favorite game series was Trauma Center. Much like how Langue played Ace Attorney when they were younger. :] Both DS games!! I like to think they shared a DS as kids.

Dele also has a keen interest in blood. It may be morbid, but they love thinking about it. It's not that they'd harm anyone for it, absolutely not, but the red fluid is something they think about and it fascinated them endlessly. They'll be bleeding and think of the blood and how it will clot and what it looks like on his skin whilst treating the injury. (They also don't have many to talk about this interest in for obvious reasons.)

Despite their visual differences, Langue and Bredele do get mistaken for each other sometimes!! Dele gets flattered, Langue gets offended.

Dele is ONE inch taller than Langue, and was born moments after Langue was. The lawyer SEETHES at the fact that Dele is better in ANY capacity. Langue will take anything they can get to prove they're better than him.

Langue's jealousy runs deep. Being the louder and more emotional of the two, they're one of Dele's worst critics. They'll lie to zem, bicker with zem, but at the end of the day they're siblings and Dele wouldn't give that up for the world. Langue, however... It's hard to say if they'd truly give up much for zem.

Bredele has learned mending magic from the spare few times they've visited Parfaedia. He's not very magically gifted, so he'll take what he can get!! Besides, it's very useful for equipment (and Langue's glasses when those crack and break too much to reform quickly).

They think Dasani Bottled Water is very unhealthy compared to other types of water bottles due to the lies Langue has told him.

BACK ON THE EMOTIONAL PROCESSING. Dele cannot cry. Well, they CAN, but it's very hard for them to. They can go through the world ending and there's only a chance that they could. A lot of negative emotion just gets numbed out and they can't express it unless it just gets to be Too Much, and even then it's just. So. Difficult. At a younger age, they were called a monster for being so "emotionless".

It takes a lot of time, but we keep comicsing.

It amuses me how curly I've made Phoenix's hair. Probably force of habit x) My Mettaton and ponies were curly too. I even struggle to draw a straight hair, it even feels a bit wrong for me. Weird stuff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can you do an Ace Attorney fanfic where Miles Edgeworth is kept awake because his friends are having a party?

Thanks for requesting! This one kinda spiraled in a WHOLE nother direction, but sometimes fics are just like that!

hope you enjoy, it’ll be under the cut :)

Miles was beginning to really regret his life choices at this point.

The legendary prosecutor was currently holed up in his bedroom with the door firmly shut, pillows stacked in a pile against the door, headphones on his ears and a pillow on his face. Despite all of this, he could still hear the raging party going on downstairs.

The origin of the party started out simple- all he wished to do was invite Phoenix over for some tea. Or coffee, in Phoenix’s case, as the man was a philistine and refused to drink such refined things such as tea without pounds of sugar and loads of honey inside. One of Phoenix’s more negative qualities, in Miles’ opinion.

So Miles invited Phoenix over to his house. They talked for a while, discussing unimportant things such as the deeper meaning of their relationship. But eventually, after a little while of chit-chat, Phoenix got a call from his daughter, Trucy. Now, Miles was not particularly one to assume things regarding the little details of a specific situation- or at least, he wasn’t in most cases. But this was one such instance where he went against that creed- presumably, Trucy had called her father asking for his whereabouts. Phoenix was a mostly honest man, so he explained that he was simply having a chat with a friend. At that point, Miles just assumed that Trucy would simply hang up the phone now that she had that information.

But trouble started to arise when Trucy asked if she could come over to the house.

Of course Phoenix pleaded his daughter’s case, and with Trucy being one of the few people in the world that Miles could actually tolerate, he caved in and let her come over to visit for a little while.

What Miles was not expecting, however, was for her to bring a couple of friends with her. More than a couple of them, actually.

So imagine Miles’ shock when he opened the door and found a hoard of semi-familiar faces waiting to be let inside.

At the front of the pack was Trucy, who was holding a yellow tulip that she most definitely plucked from Miles’ front garden. Behind her stood the woman with orange hair and the man with pointy demon-like hair, both of whom presumably worked at Phoenix’s firm. Miles could recall Mr. Apollo Justice on his own, but Phoenix helped him out in remembering Miss Athena Cykes. After the two of them, some of his own prosecutors followed after- including Mr. Klavier Gavin, Mr. Simon Blackquill and Miles’ own sister. Heading up the rear was none other than Larry Butz.

Miles remembered what Trucy said at that moment, after seeing Miles’ initial look of shock. “I invited a few friends, I hope that’s okay,” is what she said. To his face. Standing in front of a crowd of five people. Of course, Miles was the first to debate the validity of “a few,” but Phoenix welcomed them all inside with open arms. Suddenly, a whole group of attorneys was chatting and laughing and pouring wine for each other. Some of these figures weren’t even 21 yet!

But things only got worse from there, with the group taking it upon themselves to invite more and more people on their own- they invited their friends, their associates, their colleagues, their friend’s friends, and so on. The whole situation went from 10 to 100 in a matter of seconds, with Miles’ doorbell soon ringing constantly and guests filing into his house in a steady stream. Before he knew it, Miles had a party on his hands.

It didn’t take a genius to decipher that Miles wasn’t very keen on big parties. He didn’t like the noise, he didn’t like the crowds, and he most DEFINITELY didn’t like having to always be the designated sober friend. Miles didn’t normally drink too much, and when he did, it was usually only a little bit of a fancy wine. Most of the time, when he went to bars with other people, they would all take the opportunity to get blackout drunk, since they all knew that Miles would surely drive them home later. Yes, Miles had fantasized about leaving his friends passed out at the bar counter before, but he was a good man at heart, and his friends didn’t deserve to sleep in the local jail and wake up with their ears ringing. No matter how much they annoyed him.

So of course, Miles Edgeworth, the man who doesn’t like excessively loud noises, disorganization, large crowds and drunken fools is the one who has to be suddenly surrounded by all of these things simultaneously. Because he hasn’t suffered enough in life already, surely.

But Miles wanted to handle the situation like an adult, so he simply excused himself and went upstairs to prepare for an early bedtime once his living room was almost full. This had occurred around three hours ago. It was now 11 PM, and the party had no end in sight. And Miles could definitely not sleep.

He tried sleeping on his back. Then he tried sleeping on his stomach. He rolled over to attempt to sleep on his side. He even tried sleeping upside down, with his feet on his pillows and his head hanging off of the edge of the bed. But nothing he tried worked- the party was far too loud and chaotic for him to be restful. To make things worse, Miles could not get the paranoid image of his “guests” breaking some of his most valuable possessions out of his head. Larry was known to be a klutz, as well as a perpetual idiot- if he hadn’t tossed around fine china like it was a basketball by now, Miles would be extremely surprised.

Eventually, Miles decided to give up on trying to fall asleep, and in turn went down to check on everything. He wouldn’t be caught dead wearing his pajamas in a crowd, so he instead put on a t-shirt and some shorts to quickly cover himself up. He then hobbled down the stairs, plugging his ears to muffle the pounding music. Unfortunately, it seemed like Prosecutor Gavin had gotten a hold of the speakers, because his recording of “13 Years Hard Time For Love” was blasting throughout the house.

As Miles forced his way through the crowd, he took mental note of a couple of things. Firstly, this party was spiraling out of control, and there were far more guests in his home now than there were when he went up to bed. Secondly, there was far too much underage alcohol consumption going on. He very much did not approve of this, and would normally be worried about the police making a stink about things. Well, normally he would. Currently, most of the Japanifornia Police Department was participating in the party as well, drinking and chatting along with everyone else. This was the exact reason why Miles learned to not be surprised about the city’s high crime rate. Thirdly, Phoenix seemingly had taken full hold of the party’s setup- going into the kitchen, there were bowls upon bowls of chips and dip and popcorn and the like, as well as a whole bowl full of fruit punch, complete with orange slices and cut-up pineapple bobbing around in the suspiciously spiked-looking fluid. Phoenix also had also allowed everyone to take their share from Miles’ own personal stash of brownies, cookies, cake and other sweet treats. Miles cursed Phoenix under his breath and regretted ever opening his treat drawer in front of his rival as he saw a woman take a fudge brownie from his secret stash. Furthermore, if Miles’ nose was correct, someone was grilling a fine barbecue outside. Knowing Phoenix, that was probably his doing, so Miles headed out to check the patio for him first.

To nobody’s surprise, the party had also since spilled out onto the patio and into the yard. Hordes of people Miles had never seen before in his life were chatting to each other with drinks in their hands and standing in his flowerbeds. Almost immediately, Miles spotted Prosecutor Blackquill working at Miles’ grill on the porch, flipping burgers and serving hotdogs to hungry partygoers.

“Prosecutor Blackquill!” Miles shouted over the chatter. “What is the meaning of all this?”

“Ah, Edgeworth-dono,” the prosecutor said, barely looking up. “I was beginning to wonder where you were. Surely you would have come over to eat something by now, is what I thought… but I do suppose that there is no time like the present. Tell me, would you prefer to have a hamburger or a hot dog?”

“I will have nothing of the sort,” Miles strained. “Please, tell me where Wright is.”

“If I recall correctly, I saw Wright-dono in your living room last. I think that he was talking with Justice-dono,” Blackquill said, handing a hotdog on a paper plate to a woman at his side.

“Perfect. He’s probably getting wine on my couch,” Miles snarled. He thanked Blackquill for the information and quickly strode back inside, trying to force his way into the living room.

Upon entering it, he saw a large group of the attendees dancing to the music. He scanned the room for signs of Phoenix, but all he could see was Ema Skye yelling at Klavier Gavin in a drunken rage in a corner of the room. He decided to check around the rest of the house.

Miles checked the stairway, but there was only some young couple there making out passionately. The woman looked very masculine, wearing a pure red biker jacket. The man however looked quite feminine, with ginger hair and a flustered blush. The two of them noticed Miles’ presence after a moment and broke apart, to which the woman smiled warmly and asked Miles if he needed something. Miles stiffened and shook his head, quickly moving into the hall. The only thing he found there was Larry passed out and lying on the floor, so he checked out the closet. There, he found some teenager staring at her phone and guzzling a beer, standing next to a decorated cardboard box that definitely wasn’t there previously. The teen looked up at Miles and gave him a stare so threatening that he apologized and quickly shut the door. Miles sighed and then checked the bathroom, but there was only a man there throwing up in his toilet. Miles realized that the man was Winston Payne by the time he reached the kitchen- but Phoenix wasn’t in there either.

Miles scratched his scalp for a moment. Where could Phoenix be? Miles would have clearly known if someone was upstairs, and the basement…

Oh god. The basement.

Miles practically ran down the stairs to get to his basement, where he found Phoenix Wright, the turnabout terror himself, teetering back and forth on the couch he sat upon, spilling his glass of wine all over the place. He was surrounded by Dick Gumshoe, Apollo Justice, and surprisingly, Lotta Hart, who were all sitting at his feet with drinks in their hands.

“Wright!” Miles cried. “What are you doing down here?! The basement is off limits!”

“Oh… heyyyyyy Miles!” Phoenix hiccuped. “What tookya so long?”

“I was upstairs, trying to sleep. In my own bed, my own room, and my own house, preferably with peace and quiet,” Miles said bitterly. “Unfortunately, that is currently unachievable. Thanks to you.”

“It was TRUCY’S fault!” Phoenix said. “Sheeeeee asked me if she could bring some friends and… I can’t say noooooo to her!”

“Yes, you quite literally can, Wright,” Miles said. “You are her father. It’s your JOB to tell her no.”

Phoenix rolled his eyes and laughed with Gumshoe, as if they were in on some joke that Miles didn’t get.

“D’oh, you don’t know SQUAT about being a dad,” Phoenix said, grinning. “But maybe if we got married you wooooould better understand it…”

The three people sitting at Phoenix’s feet whooped and hollered as Phoenix reclined on the couch, dropping his wine glass on the rug and spilling the contents everywhere. It took all of Miles’ willpower to not shriek out loud.

“Miles, you’re toooooo uptight,” Phoenix burped. “Come on, livealittle! Let’s get a drink from upstairs…”

“I refuse to do anything of the like,” Miles said. “This is absurd.”

Suddenly, Phoenix rose to his feet and stumbled over to Miles. He then wrapped his arm around his rival’s shoulder and grinned in his face. Miles could smell the alcohol on Phoenix’s breath.

“Listen here, MISTER,” Phoenix said, prodding Miles’ chest. “I’m taking you UPSTAIRS, and you’re gonna DRINK with us. And you’re gonna go fuckin’ crazy and have the tiiiiiiiiime of your LIFE.”

Miles tried to protest, but was shushed by Phoenix’s finger pressing on his lips.

“Shhhhhh. Don’t say anything,” Phoenix said. “We’re gonna get you fixed right up! Hey… right up, jus like me, I’m Wright, hehe…”

Phoenix then turned to Apollo, who was also clearly a little tipsy.

“Hey ‘Pollo,” Phoenix said. “Tell everyone that we’re getting Miles drunk and meet us uppppppppstairs!”

Apollo nodded and grinned, before inhaling sharply and yelling “HEY EVERYONE! COME UPSTAIRS! MR. EDGEWORTH IS GONNA GET DRUNK WITH US!!!”

Excited hoots and hollers could be heard as Miles was ushered upstairs while he tried to clean his ears a bit. They felt like they were ringing after being so close in proximity to Mr. Justice’s powerful vocal cords. Before he could regain a bit more of his hearing, they had already arrived back at the ground floor, and Miles felt himself being shoved onto a couch with a glass of beer pushed into his hand. A crowd was starting to form around him, all of them staring intently with slap happy grins and drunken blush on their faces.

“We’re gonna make him chug this thingggggg!” Phoenix shouted. The crowd erupted into a wave of cheers.

“Now really, there is no need for that,” Miles said. “Come now, let’s all be sensible.”

But the crowd had already started to chant “chug, chug, chug,” and Miles knew that if he didn’t down the drink soon they would never leave him be.

So, being nothing more than a stray cat backed into a corner, Miles gave in and gulped the whole thing down.

The crowd exploded again into cheers and excitement, and Phoenix quickly filled up Miles’ glass with beer for the second time. Just as soon as it had stopped, the chanting started up again.

“Please, let’s be reasonable!” Miles begged. But Phoenix was already guiding the beer up to Miles’ mouth.

The crowd went wild again and Miles wiped his mouth. Surely they’ll let me go now, he thought. He thought the same thing about the third beer, and the fourth, and the fifth, until his vision was hazy and his face was red and he was giggling along with the rest of the partygoers.

The rest of the night was a complete blur. Miles vaguely remembered little flashes of events- fruit punch on his rug, Pess frantically eating a burger patty, a bird sitting on his television, a woman cutting her hair, Phoenix dancing on a table.

If there’s one thing that Miles knew, it was that he probably had never had so much fun in his entire life.

~~~

Miles woke up feeling like his skull was cracked open and his brains were being cooked on a frying pan.

Miles groaned as he gradually opened his eyes. The room seemed far too bright for his liking. He squinted in the light and brought a shaky hand upwards to rub at his scalp, then started to work his body to slowly rise from his spot sleeping against the front door.

It took Miles around five minutes to stand up properly as he was terrified of getting a headrush in this state. As soon as he got up, he noticed that Phoenix was still passed out- lying right next to where Miles was sleeping before. Phoenix’s phone was next to him, so Miles tapped it with his foot to turn it on so he could check the time. The phone turned on and presented an unanswered text from Trucy that was sent 11 hours ago. It said “I’m at home now!! 😸” The phone showed that the current time was 9:21 AM. Miles sighed. At least Phoenix could be a good father in some areas- if he was doing his math right, that meant Trucy went home at around 10 PM. Not the best, but presumably before all of the drinking had started, which was good.

Miles hobbled around the house, looking around at the aftermath of the party. People were asleep on his couch, on the floor, in the bathroom, on tables, on the stairs, on the patio, and even in the grass in his backyard. There were empty bottles all over the house, random objects scattered about, numerous stains on his luxurious carpets, and discarded food, plates, and napkins in multiple places that weren’t the trash. The prosecutor rubbed his temple. What did he ever do to deserve all of this?

Miles decided that he wasn’t going to be nice anymore. He started with the people in his yard- gently waking them up one by one and telling them to leave. He then told the people on the patio, and then the people on the tables, and then the people in the bathroom, and so on. He saved all of the people he actually knew personally for a special task that he needed help with.

Eventually, after a good handful of people were woken up and forced out of the house, Miles approached Phoenix to wake him up.

Miles carefully knelt down to Phoenix’s side as he approached, cringing at the pain in his head. He then gently grabbed Phoenix’s shoulder and shook it.

“Wright,” Miles muttered. “Wright, get up. I have a job for you.”

Phoenix blinked in the light and groaned.

“God, owwwww… my head hurts like a bitch,” Phoenix complained. “Man, I wish I hadn’t gotten so… drunk.”

“Oh dear, the consequences of your own actions,” Miles mocked. “Come now, get up. You must help me.”

Phoenix struggled to get up, but when he finally did, he started going around and waking people up, helping Miles kick them out. As instructed, Phoenix was telling a select few of them to stay behind to help clean up around the house. Slowly but surely, the guests became more and more sparse, and Miles’ house looked less and less unkempt. With the help of some of the party’s various attendees, Miles’ house was eventually restored to at least a portion of its former glory. Bottles were thrown away, food was discarded, beverages were dumped, broken objects were swept up and tossed. Phoenix thoroughly apologized for all the alcohol stains on the furniture and carpets, and promised that he would cover any cleaning funds that were needed. Miles let him settle for covering just a quarter of the total expenses- for the rest, Miles said that he could handle it on his own.

Time flew while the group was cleaning. It was approaching noon, and while things weren’t fully tidied up like they were before the party, Miles had priorities on his mind- so he quickly shooed everyone remaining out of the house and told them to come back at 10 AM the next morning if they wished to help him further. Everybody was on board with this, so they all ended up saying goodbye and heading out. Once everyone was gone, Miles breathed a small sigh of relief. He shook his head and then quickly went up to his bedroom, changed into his pajamas, and dove into his bed. Almost immediately after jumping in to rest, Miles was out cold.

It was safe to say that that was one of the best nights of sleep that he had ever had.
