Melli in the gear station family au is like that one lovingly overbearing family member who comes to see you at your job and tell you that you're doing a great job, except he needs an excuse to tell Akari & Rei their doing a great job so part of his getting lost is intentional and part of it is genuinely accidental (hc he has an absolutely terrible sense of direction and gets lost in a straight line, Zoro from one piece style) so when they find him and help him he's like "you two are SO GOOD at your jobs, the BEST employees here, honestly" and like half of the ten most recent gear station reviews are from Melli praising Akari and Rei.
Ingo and Emmet ask them if he needs to be banned from the subway and the younger twins are like "no, he's fine. Embarrassing but he means well and it's all good." (They have a hunch that Melli Knows Them which is why the kids are fine with hanging around him and helping him, but also all three of them are so at ease with each other that they had to ask just to Make Sure everything was fine even though they were Pretty Sure there was no issue)
#pla akari#PLA Rei#Warden melli#Gear station family au#Melli is like. 4-5 years older than the twins so they've also been p close#They're cousins but they've spent so much time together he may as well be their older brother#He helped change their diapers. Poorly. But he did. (He brings that up when he wants to tease them)#The gear station crew is initially suspicious of him (why is this Unknown Man being so friendly towards the kiddos?)#Until Melli was intentionally overly obnoxious one day to a commuter who'd been giving the twins a hard time#Approached the person to talk LOUDLY about his own hair and treating his hair stylist so good bc he's so greatful for their hard work#Can you IMAGINE bring on your feet all day and having to deal with assholes who think they can do your job???#Or who get upset when one little thing goes wrong? That's why MELLI is ALWAYS so thankful to his hairstylist and doesn't give them shit#Esp when the hairstylist is running late or dealing with some sort of UNEXPECTED PROBLEM that they're WORKING ON FIXING#Obv Melli can wait a lil bit!!! Bc his hairstylist is a person too!!! And he certainly couldn't do their job!!!#And then he 'gets on the phone's and starts talking about how he's so grateful that people are SO PATIENT when there's an issue that#Employees can't immediately solve. Can you imagine being the kind of asshole that acts like a machine's fault that causes a delay#Has been intentionally done by the employees? Purely to inconvenience them???#While he's saying this he's making eye contact with the asshole commuter who squirms and eventually goes to apologize for being so short#And grumpy w the twins. And the gear station crew is like. 'ah. This man is One Of Us.'
