- heart shaped things
Chelia has a favourite bakery, but it has nothing to do with the bread,
Chelia x Wendy / Lyon x Jellal - Bakery AU - 5 / 29
for @j-ellals
It was her brother that had found the bakery, and her brother who had first spotted the shy young girl kneading bread behind the counter.
“She’s watching you again.” Lyon grinned, nudging Chelia suggestively, and even through her blush she managed to roll her eyes at her brother.
Since being introduced to the bakery, Chelia had visited on her own many times to read, eat cake, and hopefully catch a glimpse of the blue-haired girl who worked there, but every time Chelia tried to instigate a conversation the other girl ran away. It hurt, and yet she kept coming back, could not even pretend to stay away.
“Leave her alone.” Her brother’s boyfriend rested his hand on her arm from across the table. Jellal was a serious man of few words, which helped since Chelia knew that her brother always had plenty to say. “You have to trust the process, Chelia. Believe in beginnings.”
Before Chelia could reply, a girl of around her age approached their table. She had wavy white hair and wore an adorable headband decorated with cat ears, but her eyes were pulled down in a scowl.
“This is for you.” She threw a plate down in front of Chelia before turning to point at the blue-haired girl peering from behind the counter. “Wendy made them especially. Enjoy.”
At the mere mention of her name, Wendy helped and scuttled away into the back of the shop. With a sigh the other girl followed, and Chelia was left stunned and confused, staring at a plate of food which she had not ordered. There were pancakes cut into the shape of hearts, smothered in butter and syrup and sprinkles. With there only being enough for one portion, the intent was clear. As Lyon began to rant about the blossoming of first love, Chelia tuned him out and focused on Jellal’s advice instead. She would trust the process, follow this road until the end, and hoped that Wendy’s kisses were as sweet as the pancakes she had made.
