Soooo, recently, Elliot had taken a liking to you. This meant that he would go out of his way to try to romance you in the most cliche ways possible. However, you had already set your eyes on a certain doctor in town.
Ever since you had moved into Pelican Town, you had taken a liking to the cute doctor, Harvey. As of now, you two had grown pretty close, you often visiting him at the clinic and having a coffee with him, and him sending you kind letters through the mail. Nonetheless, ever since you have met Elliot, running into him on your way to Willy's place, he had become infatuated with you, in a way you couldn't really understand.
It first started with gentleman like gestures, like opening doors for you and kissing your hand. But then it turned to reading you romantic poems and sending you heartfelt letters with the most intricate of writing. You appreciated all of this, all the effort he went through to do all of this was endearing, however, you just weren't interested in him. Trying to let him down easy, you had begun to give him hints, politely rejecting his advances and subtlety try to tell him you're not interested, but for fucks sake he was hard headed.
On this day, it was still pretty early in the morning, and you had already finished all of your farm work. You mentally noted to bring Harvey some coffee later on in the afternoon, and decide to pop into the clinic for a quick chat. On your way there, you bumped into a familiar face.
"Oh! Why hello darling~"
Oh my Yoba.
Elliot had caught you, wrapping one of his arms around your waist, while the other tucks a stray hair behind his ear. You internally cry, and try to regain your composure. "Good morning Elliot." You say, stepping away from him, untangling his arm from your waist. "Are you going to the clinic?" He asks, tilting his head to the side. You look at him surprised, and then realize that today is probably his yearly checkup with Harvey. You sigh, "Yes, i'm just going to say hi though." "Oh wonderful! We can head there together!" Elliot says, reaching out his arm for you to take. You hesitantly link your arm with his, not wanting to be rude, and head to the clinic.
As you two make it to the clinic, he unlinks his arm from yours, going to open the door from you. You mutter a quiet thank you before heading in, the crisp cold air welcoming you. As Elliot shuts the door behind him, Maru waves at you. "Good morning Y/N!" She says, to which you reply the same. You then start to walk towards the back, to where you assume Harvey is. "My dove, where are you going?" Elliot says, looking up from the clipboard that Maru gave him. "To go say hi to Harvey?" You say, looking at Elliot confusingly. Elliot mutters a little "oh" under his breath before saying, "Alright dove." As you sigh, you make your way towards the back door, smiling once you catch a glance of Harvey and his goofy glasses.
"Good morning Harvey." You say, smiling at him. "Good morning Y/N!" Harvey says, beaming upon seeing you. You hesitate a little, but decide to wrap your arms around his neck, giving him a hug. He stands there for a second, before wrapping his secure arms around your waist, sighing. "Elliot is already in the waiting room." You whisper, to which Harvey sighs once more. "Of course, i'll see you later?" Harvey says, with a slight doubt in his voice. "Of course." You say, grinning at him with flustered cheeks. As you both make your way back through the door you came through, you walk past Harvey to the front door. "Elliot, you may come in now." Harvey says, holding the back door open for him. Elliot stands up and before walking to Harvey, he stops next to you, grabbing your hand and kissing your knuckles. "I'll be seeing you later darling~" he says, before walking past Harvey through the back door. You sigh, looking back at Harvey to see a shocked expression? You decide to not think much of it and leave the clinic.
...
You spend the rest of the day doing small tasks, and before you knew it, it was already evening. You decided to pass by the Saloon and grab you and Harvey some drinks. You had cleaned yourself up, taking a shower and changing clothes, before heading over there, mentally praying Elliot wasn't there. Thank Yoba he wasn't, so you quickly ordered one coffee for Harvey and one of your favorite drinks. As you made your way to the clinic, you thought back to earlier, to Harvey's shocked yet upset face when Elliot kissed your knuckles, you started to worry if something had happened. With that thought, you quickened your pace and knocked on the door of the clinic, which had closed a while ago now.
*Knock Knock*
"Oh, hello Y/N." Harvey says, with a sad smile. You look at him confused before answering; "Hey Harvey?" Harvey motions for you to come in, and you follow him through the back door and up the familiar staircase up to his small home on the second floor. You relax once reaching the second floor, the comforting air always being able to put you at ease. However, Harvey seemed to be upset about something, you could tell from his furrowed brows and tense shoulders. Normally, by now he would be totally relaxed, and would've been talking your ear off about his day. You frown, taking a seat on one of his red sofas. Harvey joins you on the sofa, as you give him his coffee. "So, how was your day?" You ask, turning around slightly to face him. "It was alright." He says, looking away from you.
"Okay, cut the horseshit, what happened?" You ask, setting your un sipped drink onto the coffee table. Harvey is startled by this outburst, clutching his coffee how a woman would clutch her pearls. "It's nothing Y/N." He says, avoiding your piercing gaze. "Yeah, no. I don't believe that for a second." You say, and before Harvey can say anything you interrupted; "I know you too well, so just tell me." Harvey stays quiet, before putting his coffee on the table as well. You keep your gaze on him, hoping he would crack eventually. Because god damn it you care too much about him to see him like this. Harvey sighs, "It's about Elliot." He says quietly, slowly meeting your gaze. You feel you fists clench, "What did he do?" you say. Harvey then looks at you with furrowed brows, almost angrily. "Why didn't you tell me about your relationship with Elliot?" He says, almost shouting.
Oh.
You look at Harvey in disbelief, but then put the dots together and audibly "oh." This just makes Harvey stand up in frustration, taking a few steps away from you, angrily taking off his glasses to wipe them. You stand up alongside him. "Harvey, I can explain." You say, trying to get him to look at you. "Then go ahead." Harvey says, putting his glasses back on. You sigh, before saying. "Elliot has been trying to "romance" me ever since I had moved into Pelican Town, but I don't like him. I try to reject him and his advances but he just doesn't get it." Harvey looks over at you, his face softening. You take a deep breath and grab both sides of his face, "I already have feelings for someone else." Harvey takes a moment to process, before smiling at you, "Me too." You then take that as a yes, and bring his face closer to yours, kissing him on the lips.
...
You both then decided to sit back down on the couch and drink your abandoned beverages. You lean on Harvey's shoulder as one of your hands intertwine with his. As you finish your drink, you ask, "We're you jealous?"
...
"Shut up."
