My Love Is-A-Bell Male Reader x Isabelle(ACNH)

The Third Wheel

We both showered and changed into a new set of clothes after work. There was someone knocking at the door.

Y/N: "I'll get it."

I opened the door and as expected,Marcus.

Marcus: "Ready yet?"

Isabelle: "Yeah."

Marcus: "Jolly. Let's go then."

*Small time skip
*The Roost

We found a table and sat down.

Marcus: "Alright,you two sit here while I get the menu."

Y/N: "Ok."

He headed off.

Isabelle: "Well,that just leaves the two of us."

Y/N: "Yeah~"

We closed our eyes as we got closer to one ano-

Marcus: "Alright,here's the menu."

Isabelle: "Oooh."

Y/N: "I'm thinking about a plain,arabica brew."

Isabelle: "I'd like an espresso."

Marcus: "Hmm..."

Brewster walked over.

Brewster: "You folks decided on what you want yet?"

Y/N: "Um,yes. An arabica brew,please."

Isabelle: "And I'd like an espresso."

Marcus: "How's about a recommendation?"

Brewster: "Well,the... Cafe Con Leche has been getting a lot of attention lately."

Marcus: "Splendid! I'll have one."

*Small time skip

Marcus and Isabelle had been chatting for a while now. My cup of coffee was still half-full. I tightened my grip. I felt like the cup was gonna pop in my hand.

Marcus: "Hey Y/N,are... you alright?"

Y/N: "I'm good. You?"

Marcus: "How much better could I possibly be,having a coffee with the mayor,eh?"

Y/N: "Thanks."

Rosie sat at a table behind us. Marcus was staring for a bit,then stopped. We finished our coffees,paid and headed home.

*Small time skip

We were about to walk in.

Marcus: "Y/N? A word,if I may?"

Y/N: "Sure."

Isabelle: "Guess I'll meet you inside."

She kissed me and walked in.

Y/N: "Alright,Marcus. What's your game with Isabelle here?"

He looked slightly confused then smiled.

Marcus: "Bold of you to assume I would've stolen her from you. Trust me,if I know Isabelle,she makes excellent decisions. And I see she still does. You deserve her,not me."

Y/N: "Wow,I really misjudged you. I'm sorry."

Marcus: "It's alright. Happens to the best of us."

Y/N: "What did you want to talk to me about then?"

Marcus: "Ah,I nearly forgot. Who was that fine feline behind us a bit ago?"

Y/N: "You mean Rosie? The blue cat?"

Marcus: "Hm... Rosie. Do you happen to know anything else about her?"

Y/N: "Not exactly."

Marcus: "Darn it."

Y/N: "Do you like Rosie?"

Marcus: "Precisely."

Y/N: "Why don't you guys just... hang out?"

Marcus: *I don't know how to pull this off. Got any advice?"

I scratched my chin.

Y/N: "I could try asking,striking up conversations and stuff."

Marcus: "I would greatly appreciate that."
