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

Being Stood Up?

*Time skip
*The Roost

At The Roost again. This time,Y/N won't be making the moves anymore,I am. I had my order in front of me and Rosie's on the opposite side of the table.

Marcus: 'She's just running a little late,nothing to worry about.'

*Small time skip

It's been 2 hours. My cup was empty while Rosie's was full.

Marcus: 'Did she stand me up? No,she's not that kind of person. It is getting late,though. I should go back to my tent.'

I finished Rosie's cup as well. Cold. I paid Brewster 400 Bells and left.

*Flashback
*Y/N Pov

I was observing the date I set up through a pair of binoculars. By the looks of it,it was going smooth. They were chatting and laughing. When they got really close to each other,I thought I had succeeded. Nope,but Marcus did walk out with a goofy smile on his face and Rosie was skipping a little along the way.

Y/N: "Well,that was wholesome. Time to go ho- Holy shit!"

Isabelle was staring at me with a smile on her face.

Isabelle: "So this is what you've been up to! Trying to get Rosie and Marcus together."

Y/N: "How long have you known about this?"

Isabelle: "Ever since you talked with Rosie."

Y/N: "What? Where were you?"

Isabelle: "Watching from behind a tree."

Y/N: 'That's where the feeling came from.'

Isabelle: "I was honestly really pissed when you were chatting with Rosie. But now that I know what's up..."

She kissed me and smiled.

Isabelle: "You're really sweet and I'm sorry I doubted you."

Y/N: "They've left now. Let's go home,hm?"

Isabelle: "Mm-hmm."

We held hands and went home.

*Present time
*Y/N Pov

Y/N: "Marcus isn't looking to good. And I haven't seen Rosie at all."

Isabelle: "He's leaving too."

Y/N: "Let's go check on him."

We ran over to him.

Y/N: "Hey,Marcus,what's wrong?"

Marcus: "Well,Rosie didn't show up. Either something happened or she stood me up."

Isabelle: "Why don't you text her? Ask her why?"

Marcus: "I actually haven't thought of that."

He pulled his phone out and we watched as he texted Rosie.

Marcus: "Hey."

There was a near immediate reply.

Rosie: "Hey."

Marcus: "Is there something wrong? You didn't show up today."

Rosie: "Oh yeah,I forgot to tell you. I've caught a cold."

Marcus: "Oh dear. How are you feeling?"

Rosie: "Not the best,but I'll pull through. Sorry we couldn't meet up."

Marcus: "It's alright. Health matters."

Rosie: "I'll text you again when I get better."

Marcus: "Ok."

He slid the phone back into his pocket. He scratched his chin.

Marcus: "We need to go check on her. I can't just know about this and do nothing. How do I help?"

Isabelle: "Well,a warm soup can help."

Y/N: "And maybe you could keep her company."

Marcus: "Alright,I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the help and advice. I would've never gotten this far without you guys."

Y/N: "You're welcome."

Isabelle: "You do know how to make soup,right,Marcus?"

Marcus: "Well,yes. My mother taught me when I was a little boy."

Y/N: "Well then,let's begin."

*Small time skip
*Rosie's home
*Rosie Pov

There was someone knocking at the door.

Marcus: "Rosie,are you there? It's me,Marcus. And Y/N and Isabelle."

Rosie: "Come in!"

The door opened with a click.

Marcus: "Hey there,Rosie. Still feeling bad?"

Rosie: "Yeah."

Marcus: "Oh. Well,I brought some tomato soup,maybe it'll help. It's my mother's recipe."

Rosie: "Thanks."

Isabelle: "I'm gonna go prepare a bowl right now."

She walked into the kitchen.

Isabelle: "The dishes aren't done!"

Rosie: "Oops,sorry. Kinda forgot about that."

Y/N: "I'll deal with it!"

Y/N rushed into the kitchen to do the dishes. It was just me and Marcus now.

Marcus: "To be honest with you,I actually kind of missed you."

I sniffled.

Rosie: "It's only been a day."

Marcus: "Well,absence makes the heart grow fonder."

I let out a weak giggle.

Rosie: "Aw,you're nice!"

He scratched the back of his head as his face turned red.

Marcus: "Thanks."

Rosie: "Achoo!"

Marcus grabbed a tissue.

Marcus: "Here."

I sniffled.

Rosie: "Thanks."

Y/N: "Alright,here's the soup."

Isabelle: "It's actually getting pretty late. If you don't mind,we're gonna go home now."

Y/N: "And Marcus will be keeping you company."

Rosie: "Alright,wouldn't want to bother you."

Isabelle: "See you,Marcus,Rosie."

Y/N: "Bye."

Rosie: "Bye."

Marcus grabbed the bowl.

Marcus: "So... can you hold it yourself? Or do you want me to-"

Rosie: "Feed me? Yes."

I smiled.

Marcus: "It's a bit hot,though. Hold on."

He blew on the spoonful of soup before feeding it to me.

Rosie: "Mmm... that's really good,Marcus."

Marcus: "I'm glad you think so. Now come on,before it gets cold."

I might take short breaks every now and then. I need time to create a plot and come up with ideas and how to execute them. Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
