OKAY separating Marco's Selphie + [other] feels (ie: Selphie + Ikki, and Selphie + Ace, and Selphie + Doctor, and Selphie + Lolo, and Selphie + Grell --- And for the matter why is Selphie constantly everywhere in his CR Marco says)
Marco adores Selphie as like an even more bubbly Haruta and as such he still expects to turn around and see her team up with Ace to drive him crazy and he's not sure it'd bug him entirely.
She's smart, she's savvy, she's sassy, she doesn't mind explosions, she rolls with the pirates, and she fits in like she's always been there. That's all Marco needs. OH! And she's into romance novels and plays guitar and is chill enough that he can relax and be dorky with her. Suuuuper thumbs on that.
SO then back into the Selphie + 1 categories: Re: Ikki: there are so many feels here. Marco knows how fucked up he was before Thatch leveled him out and indeed, he keeps meaning to send Selphie to Thatch to ask about it but there is NO good way to say "I barely even spoke to people, I turned into a phoenix when I didn't want to talk to people" -- which btw he occasionally still does -- "and my first kiss was Thatch and I punched him in the face before it before deciding it was fun and kissing him back. It took him a very very very very long time to get me into a level where girls were a thing and I still have so many issues that all I did was try to go tell Robin as much and somehow I ran away and it was embarrassing." UM. Right.
Especially since if Selphie talked to Grell about this she wouldn't know at all :T
There's the part of Marco that is all lies, and the part of Marco that hides under a blanket with Thatch in his room and when told to come out, stubbornly refuses in bird language.
The happy go lucky shippy babby birdie part of Marco is all over sharing happy go lucky shipper feels with Selphie and secretly TOTALLY stalked all those date places she set up in the hopes that people would use them and not stare at them so uneasily and pathetically. This part of him also hopes for the best for everyone and all their ships. The phoenixes are awkward lonely creatures who HOW THE FUCK did the end up in a crew/family as big as this?! part of him totally awkwardly shuffles his feet and facepalms and wants to headdesk against the mast whenever Ikki does something that Marco once upon a time did; sometimes is still doing, and will probably do again. IT IS HARD TO FIX. + there's the Ace thing. He wants both Selphie and Ace to be happy and yet worries that either of them might hurt each other in a pairing.
Marco won't ever take sides in between his crew/family, but he's VERY VERY VERY protective of Selphie and will kick someone's ass the minute he thinks they hurt her. And he's told off Ikki a few times, but it's always complicated with him because PSSSSH what doesn't Marco make complicated? But yeah, especially complicated with Ikki because PHOENIX SHIT he gets. Family trauma? KINDA GETS (different traumas via different circumstances but all the same) Hooooooooooooooooo boy. There's a lot.
Selphie is one of the few he wishes to take flying to reassure her 1) she can be above it all 2) the world isn't always such a messed up place and 3) she's definitely part of the crew & family and they wouldn't be the same without her.
He just left that to Ikki to do first (and Marco hasn't taken anyone flying yet so he's extra particular, especially since they have to be very very trustworthy and not as reckless as Ace or Luffy who would do someone crazy like fall off and die) but he's not sure how Ikki's phoenix thing works / and if flying is a thing Ikki can do and if Ikki would be hurt about it at this point, so it's on his list to slowly work out EVENTUALLY.
There's a lot regarding Selphie Marco still is working on working out basically hahaha. One of the major ones being that he wants to take her hand and show her it's okay to cry too. Which is maybe one of the hardest things PERIOD for Marco. He can cry, but he's always making sure he doesn't, because he's always trying to be impenetrable for the sake of his brothers, and indeed, even when Ace and Thatch give their fake smiles, Marco is the first one encouraging it because he thinks if they can fake smile, eventually they'll be able to turn it real. So it being okay to be authentic with sorrow is just.... a huge tough thing for Marco, but he can tell Selphie needs it. He just needs to really... GET THERE eventually /sigh
