Turnabout Histories: A Romantic Interlude

SPOILERY for those of you who don't want to know what characters will be introduced or where I'm going with Turnabout Histories.  So don't read if you'd rather come to it the long way round, rather than taking the TARDIS!  Some of the usual usual stuff, therefore, is under the cut.  Sorry about the cheesy title, I couldn't come up for anything better that was non-spoilery.  I hope everyone has a good time tonight with their Special Someones (to steal Pearly's words, because this is Ace Attorney fanfic) or friends.  Just because you might not be dating doesn't mean that you're alone.  No one's ever truly alone.
I had better just post before I start getting more incoherent and talking about Social links and just generally rambling.

Main Points:
Ace Attorney AU
Rating: G?  (general fluff.  So fluffy you could use it as a pillow.)
Word Count: 314

Summary: Not even Valentine's day, but fluffy and shippy and warm, so posting today's normal enough.  General context: the Ace Attorney family has gone to a Japanese festival (probably Tanabata) of which there will be more when we actually get to that point chronologically.  The prince thing is referring to a dress-up party that's coming, I promise!
Specific Couple: Klavier/Apollo (Kyodoroki)

Klavier manages to bow, somehow, in that yukata.  How he's managing to move in these things, Apollo has no idea, and he's a little annoyed by that.  A smile with soft, fond eyes is turned in his direction, and with a flourish and a sleeve, somehow Klavier manages to produce a single pink rose on an outstretched palm.

Apollo blinks, and feels a slight anger come over him.  That fop.  He was so perfect, and sometimes that could be really annoying.  "What did you...?"

"Ordinarily, I would say it's nothing, mein Prinz, but I am not completely oblivious.  I know how much you dislike that.  So...I had Fraulein Trucy teach me, and it took quite a long time.  But nothing was too much work for you.  I really want to impress you.  And it took quite a while to choose the correct rose.  I am aware you are most fond of the color red, but a red rose is too...ordinary, ja?  Orange is a better color, but it's not mere passion that I feel for you.  And purple is not quite correct, since I did not, in fact, fall in love with you at first sight..."

"Klavier."

For once, the man actually took that as a signal to shut up and listened.  "Ja, mein Forehead."  The way his hand trembled a little...he's wanting to play with his hair, but he doesn't want to seem that nervous.  That's...actually kind of adorable.

"Thank you.  For what you did, for the effort you put into it...."

"...Nothing is too much for mein Prinz, ja?"  But Klavier was grinning, relieved.  Apollo decided not to mention that the grin was a little goofy.  Klavier could go on thinking he was cool, if only because, somehow, his acting as if all of this was normal made it cool anyway.  It'd be doubtful if anyone else could get away with that.
