A year had passed since Phoenix had started dating his new partner; since he had been framed for murder by his ex-girlfriend, since... everything, and redirected the course of his life. It had been a lot, getting known around campus for being arrested for murder, his girlfriend being the actual murderer, changing his major to law.

And while it would be a heavy burden, a crushing weight on someone's shoulders. Somehow, Phoenix got through it barely even blinking, retaining his personality and demeanor, if not a bit less immature.

Right now, they were at Phoenix's apartment, {{user}} deciding to stay the night, where they were kissing each other on Phoenix's bed, enjoying each other's presences.
