This is amazing for your event and such a neat idea! Thank you for creating this, truly. So, if I may... can I have Solid x Rosette (my beloved OC) for the Coffee shop AU?
Hiya @vilandel ! Of course you may, I was really glad to see you request for these two and it was a joy to write this for them (Solid was a little challenging since I’ve never written him in a scenario like this, but thanks to @loosesodamarble ‘s lovely help and guidance I was able to acomplish it 🥰!). Also I adore Rosette and could easily see her and Zera gossiping over all the things happening in Clover over tea 🤭. I hope you enjoy~!

“ Okay Rosette, I’m leaving you in charge while I’m gone,” Rosette’s boss called over their shoulder as they began to walk out of the café. The young lady nodded eagerly.
“ Alright! I’ll do my best.” She told them, and the boss nodded before walking out of the café.
Rosette let out a soft sigh as she began to look around the café; luckily there weren’t very many customers so she wouldn’t have a too difficult time being here alone, but the downside to the café being quiet was that her mind would begin to wander.
Her pale grey eyes scanned the café; there were many couples sitting around the room, some seemed to be in the early stages of their relationships, some seemed to be well into their relationships, and a few seemed to be ending their relationships.
“ I wonder what happened between them?” She thought curiously. “ From what I heard at the butcher’s shop they were talking about getting engaged.”
She hummed in thought as she began to scan the couple. There was certainly some animosity between them now that wasn’t there before, and there was a…hurt and sadness in the woman's eyes, while the man looked resigned and somewhat regretful.
Her eyes moved further down; the woman had her arms crossed and her leg shook as she tried to hold back her anger. Meanwhile the man sat there calmly, but as Rosette looked closer she noticed he was checking his pocket watch constantly, and his phone on the table kept buzzing every 30 seconds.
That’s when Rosette realized what happened: he had fallen for someone else, and was now breaking the news to his former girlfriend, the woman he was sitting with.
A sad sigh escaped her as she turned away, that poor woman. She didn’t deserve to be broken up with like this.
Maybe there was something she could do?
As she began to walk around the counter to approach the couple and help the woman, the door to the café suddenly opened.
“ Whoever owns that bright red sports car outside better hurry up and move it out of my spot before it gets towed for illegal parking,” The young man announced smugly as he removed his silk scarf from around his neck and took his long, silver trench coat off.
At the newcomers' words, the other man instantly jumped up from his seat and ran out of the café.
As Rosette went to thank the young man for what he did, he began to chuckle.
“ Idiot, wait until he realizes that his ugly little car’s already been towed,” He muttered. “ That’ll teach him to park in Solid Silva’s parking space.”
As soon as the words left his mouth any gratitude that Rosette felt towards him instantly disappeared. Of course this man had the car towed for selfish reasons, and not because he actually wanted to help someone else!
She shook her head before directing her attention towards the woman who had just been abandoned.
“ You okay?” She asked the woman softly as she approached her table, and she nodded.
“ I’m fine, thank you,” The woman replied with a grateful nod.
“ You’re welcome! I called a cab to come pick you up, and they’re waiting outside for you,” Rosette told her, and the woman nodded again before pulling out her wallet. “ Oh don’t worry about paying, I’ve already taken care of it!” She added, and the woman’s eyes widened but she quietly thanked her before slipping out the back of the café.
Rosette smiled triumphantly, proud to have done at least a bit of good, but frowned when someone snorted behind her.
She quickly turned and saw the young man from earlier sitting alone by the window. He glanced at her, and began to try and hide his snickering behind his hand.
“ What’s so funny?” She asked curiously, her head tilting slightly as she looked him up and down. He quickly cleared his throat and shook his head.
“ Nothing, mind your own business,” He told her in an irritated tone as he looked away.
Rosette huffed a bit before walking back around to stand behind the counter, that was really rude and uncalled for!
But he was a regular customer here, so even though she wanted to tell him that he was mean she couldn’t unless she wanted to lose her job…
As she cleaned and organized things behind the counter she glanced over at him. For the past few weeks he had been coming by the café everyday at the same time, and she couldn’t stop herself from being curious; so she began to ask around about him.
Apparently his name was Solid Silva, he was the third child and second son of the esteemed Silva family, and from what she heard and witnessed first hand, he could be a bit of a…jerk to say the least. He was a spoiled rich boy who looked down on others that were of lesser status than him, he felt entitled to even the most minor things, and there were rumors that he would even go as far as to harass and bully his younger sister!
Based on all of that information Rosette had grown a strong dislike for him! She also came from a rich family, but that didn’t give her the right to act better than others!
If only there was a way to change his mind…
“ Tsk she’s late,” He muttered as he crossed his arms and glared out the window, his foot tapping against the floor in irritation.
“ Are you waiting for someone?” Rosette asked curiously as she turned to fully look at him, and he glared at her again.
“ That’s none of your business,” Solid huffed as he turned away from her again, and she quickly put her hands on her hips.
She had had enough!
“ Y’know, with an attitude like that I can’t imagine any woman wanting to meet you!” Rosette told him sternly, and Solid quickly turned to look at her.
“ Excuse me?”
“ Your attitude,” She continued with narrowed eyes. “ You act like you’re better than everyone, you like to flaunt your family’s name and wealth but you never do anything good with it! You’re just…mean!”
Solid stared at her in bewilderment, and then his eyes narrowed in anger as he stood up and walked over to the counter.
“ Do you realize who you’re talking to?” He growled. “ I could have you fired for this!” Rosette nodded.
“ I do know who you are, and to be honest I don’t really care!” She told him seriously. “ It’s about time someone talked to you about your bad attitude and how you treat others!”
“ I only treat others how I believe they should be treated,” He responded. “ Take that man from before; he felt that he had the right to park in my parking space, so I put him in his rightful place!”
As Rosette opened her mouth to argue back, the door to the café opened again, and in walked a man who looked very similar to Solid.
“ Oh good, it seems that the two of you have already met,” The man announced as he walked over to the pair.
“ Nozel!” Solid exclaimed in relief as he ran over to the other man.
Rosette’s eyes narrowed; so this was the new head of the Silva family? But, he looked so young?
“ You need to have this woman fired immediately!” He told Nozel as he stood beside him, and his older brother raised a questioning brow.
“ You want to have your fiancé fired from her job?” He questioned curiously, and suddenly everything went very quiet and still.
Fiancé…?
“ Huh?! What do you mean ‘fiancé’?!” Rosette and Solid exclaimed in unison, causing all the other patrons to turn and look at them.
“ Just what I said, as of this afternoon the two of you are now engaged to be married,” He explained as though it were obvious. The pair looked at each other for a moment before looking back at Nozel.
“ To her?!”
“ To him?!” Nozel nodded.
“ Indeed. I just arrived from a meeting with Mr. and Mrs. Vitrail, as of next week you’ll be moved into the Silva residence and the week after that you’ll be taught how we conduct business operations so you can contribute to the family business.” Nozel explained to Rosette, who just stared at him in disbelief.
This couldn’t be happening…how was this happening?
“ I…I don’t understand,” She began softly as she tried to wrap her head around what was going on. “ How did you meet my family? And how am I in an arranged marriage?!”
“ Your parents have business associates with my family for many years, although our relationship has kind of waned a bit over the years,” Nozel told her. “ As for how you’re in an arranged marriage, your father told me that it was what you wanted?”
Rosette opened her mouth, but paused before quickly closing it; oh yeah, she had asked him to arrange a marriage to a wealthy man for her. The reason she had asked her father to arrange a marriage with another wealthy family was so she could do more good in the world. More money meant she could give more back to society, right?
But she hadn’t expected her arranged marriage to be with the Silva family, or with the one member she seemed to get along poorly with!
