marcel x reader who's close to melissa hcs
writer's note: thank you for the request! i'm glad you enjoy my works :3 i was half writing this on the aeroplane so i apologize for any mistakes!
masterlist introduction
Marcel knows about you long before you two even meet. Don't get me wrong, he's not keeping tabs on you just because you're one of the rare few that Melissa keeps by her side, that attention is directed towards her more dangerous companions (cough forsaken light cough). But, with the sheer amount of times his cousin brings you up, it's impossible to not know.
Melissa talks a lot on the rare occasions that they meet up. She complains about her customers, her requests, or even just Aberleen itself. And somehow, your name just keeps popping up.
"Oh they helped me organize my inventory the other day!" or "The tea they made was soooo good..." or even "They kept stealing my scissors so I pulled a little prank on them as revenge!"
So when Marcel finally sees you in person at the shop, it feels less like meeting a stranger and more like finally putting a face to your profile.
You're one of the few people that Marcel trusts quickly. Again, it's not because you immediately stood out to him or anything. It's just, Melissa trusts you. And Melissa trusts almost nobody. Suspicious by nature, defensive by experience. The fact that she allows you to work by her side everyday says a lot, and if Melissa has already deemed you part of her little world, Marcel is inclined to believe that you are someone worth knowing.
Once you get to know him better, it seems like you've become some sort of buffer between Marcel and Melissa.
To be fair, their relationship is certainly a complicated one. They know each other too well to perform politeness, but too distantly to fully soften for each other. Melissa is all sharp edges and sarcasm while Marcel is so polite it makes you want to throw something at him.
TLDR they are both different kinds of ragebaiters that wants to get closer to one another but also feels kinda conflicted on how to go about it.
That makes you, in contrast, something like a stabilizing point between them. Meaning that you try your best to make sure another petty argument doesn't erupt over teatime, but at least your efforts don't go unnoticed by Marcel, hm?
Overtime, Marcel's interest in you develops. And of course, Melissa notices (why wouldn't she). She doesn't interfere or announce it directly, but for all her snark she's uncomfortably good at reading people. Instead of commenting seriously, she folds it into her usual sarcasm, letting remarks slip that are half observation half provocation.
Melissa neither approves or disapproves outright, but she does deliberately leave you and Marcel in the same space more often than coincidence would justify.
Once you and Marcel get together, Melissa is probably the first person to know (not because you told her, but because she figured it out). She has known both of you long enough to notice the tiny changes in behavior, like the way Marcel starts visiting the shop more often than necessary, the way your gaze lingers on him, or how the two of you somehow end up hovering around each other, subconsciously or not.
Melissa hates it. Don't get me wrong, she's happy that her friend and half-brother managed to get together, but gosh tone it down on the visits?? The shop is no longer peaceful because of Marcel, and everyday she has to sit and wait for the inevitable time that he comes in and distracts or lord forbid kidnaps her reliable employee friend for the day.
end note: sorry if it's a bit short, my head's kind of spinning from the flight! there's a lot i didn't elaborate on so i might edit this later or make a part 2.. or maybe just a little follow up post where i spill my thoughts lol. i'm gonna get some sleep, enjoy!
