matthew's best friend crushing on na'el
pairing: matthew x gn!reader x na'el
tags: wholesome fluff, overprotective matthew
na'el was quite the amazing person
she was beloved by everyone, especially the children of the city, she was not only a talented fighter but could also play the piano and she was so kind and humble about all of it
it was hard not to fall in love with someone as great as her!
though there was one problem about your crush on na'el – her older brother!
matthew was your best friend and you knew he could be a bit overprotective of his sister
but your crush on na'el was something you didn't want to give up on! you wanted to confess to her and hopefully she'd feel the same way and the two of you would start dating
but before this could happen, you needed matthew's blessing!
matthew was just as important to you as na'el was. she might be the girl you love, but matthew had been your best friend for years!
you ended up telling matthew about you crush on na'el when the two of you were outside the city by yourself one day
you wanted to be alone with him if you'd tell him about your feelings for na'el. if necessary, you'd even challenge matthew if he wanted you to prove you are worthy of dating his sister
though when you told him that you had fallen in love with na'el, matthew remained quiet, which was quite unusual for him
you could've dealt with him getting angry, but seeing him this quiet was much more terrifying!
though after a few moments, matthew sighed and grabbed you by the shoulders, finally saying something
"you're a good person! i trust that you'd never hurt na'el! if you love her, go tell her! i'm sure she'd be happy about it!"
hearing such kind and genuine words from matthew was quite the surprise and you couldn't help but get excited!
he approved of you! though, matthew wasn't done talking yet…
"however, if you ever hurt na'el, you know what happens! if anyone knows me best, it's you! and you know how i can be if someone messes with my sister…"
matthew glared at you for a moment, his expression completely serious, before he pulled away and smiled again
"well, don't waste your time then! go ahead and ask her out!"
