You were floating.
Your eyes shut tightly as you felt yourself drift through the reality of your dream, only somewhat conscious. A warm brush of air ran through your body, like a summer wind would ruffle the brisk green leaves on a lazy afternoon. A content sigh escaped you with the last of the breeze as it made its exit lazily.
(Y/c) orbs fluttered open to look down at your limbs, your hand lifting up to flex your digits as they hummed with a sheer golden outline. Bright prisms of warm summer sunlight reflected through them, sending glowing beams of light out into the grey hue surrounding your floating dream form. In a surreal state, you absently watched them dance in a playful shimmer.
Confusion. Content. Happiness.
The essence of what made humans, human, pulsed through you as your lightly grasped your existence. Tiny speckles of light shimmered across your cheek as you lowered your hand, resting it back along your side comfortably.
'I'm dreaming again, aren't I?' You thought in a snicker, the words vaguely penetrating your conscious.
Then suddenly, your attention focused on the sudden light blinding your eyes, the smell of fresh cut grass filling your nostrils as your feet planted themselves firmly in a summer field.
You were a young boy. Not even eight years old. A soccer ball eagerly jumped in between your nimble kicks as you made your way towards a goal. A quick thump of your heart chimed with a frenzied beat in your chest, filled with excitement and adrenaline. It was intoxicating, it was everything and anything exciting in the world at that moment. Your lungs filled as you made a desperate kick towards the goal, your young eyes watched as the inflated ball of patterned leather reached fruition.
The crowed screamed. You had won the game.
"Yatta yatta Jotaro!" The intermingling of voices sounded around you as you flashed a shy smile.
Blood rushed to your young, plump cheeks in victory. The teammates you held dear ran towards you to rush you in a valiant hurdle into the sky. A bright smile pulled at your lips as your mother and father rushed in with the other parents, praising everyone on their victory. This was it, this was happiness.
Your grin spread impossibly more as if your face might split in joy, a final launch sending you higher and higher towards the burning suns rays.
The temperature cooled from the nearing suns blistering heat as you floated back down, a comfortable warmth surrounding you as multiple students sat attentively around you in a college lecture. (Y/c) eyes snapped to the speaker, your small chest welling in pride as she spoke, pointing to figures in the most recent slide.
"-and so, as you can see in this most recent hieroglyph, the meaning of bound can be correlated between the English meaning of both 'tied' as in physically, and 'bound' as in fate." You glanced down at your mother from the raised seats as she held her firm expression, only sported for lectures and business of course, before her eyes matched your own. Her expression quickly morphed into a knowing smile before she flashed you a playful wink, quickly turning away to click into the next slide. You giggled inside, as if you had shared a secret no one else knew. Young eyes watched her as she continued to talk about the ancient language, your child sized chest swelling in pride that this was your mother.
You felt proud.
The room swirled in a grey smoke, quickly forming into towering concrete walls lining you as you sat in an alley. Foreign green eyes glanced up to the blue sky in apathy as desolate swirls of cigarette smoke snaked around each rising coil like an infinite toxic serpent. Your heavy sigh echoed through the empty walls, thankful no one else was around. A weight lingered in your chest as you thought of the words your coach had said earlier that day.
"I'm sorry Jotaro, as much of an asset as you are to the team...well..." A pregnant pause filled the room. "We just can't have the rumors surrounding you associated with our schools team." Another pause. You nodded, the numb motion familiar to you in this scenario by now. "I know you understand.." The coach trailed off. The younger raven nodded again resolutely before quietly exiting the office, making his way home.
The delicate coils of smoke surrounding the alleyway twisted into themselves as they traveled into the sky. The scene morphed again.
It was the first time you and Jotaro trained together. The green seemed so much brighter, and the sky so much bluer. You stood watching in your favorite ravens body as the girls arm retreated to throw another rather large rock unexpectedly in your direction.
"Is this really an effective method of trai-" Jade eyes widened again in slight panic as you were cut off by another rather large rock hurdling towards you at lightening speed. The familiar bubbling of power welled within you as your stand manifested to launch its studded fist towards the oncoming object with another yell for the fourth time. A loud crack rang through the green courtyard as your stand deflected the rock out into the sunset.
"Ora Ora Ora!" Your stand shouted as the rock flew into the setting skyline. You watched in wonder before snapping your vision back to the (y/h/c), a manic grin on her face.
A unusual warmth filled you as you stared down at the smaller girl, sporting an apologetic grin. Your heart beat a second faster at her smile, the image only allowing you to muffle a growl of her name in an affectionate warning.
You lowered your head to hide the amused look dancing in your jade eyes.
Your body began to dissolve into spectrums, a slight form of panic encompassing you until a stable ray of light containing your being remained.
You floated in the scene of foggy grey for an immeasurable second, your attention snapping to the familiar gold form of your mother manifesting in front of you.
Your smile was that of a phantom as you had no form, staring towards her with longing and affection. In your deepest subconscious, you knew she was gone, but yet she was here now, smiling at you as if she had come back from a long trip. Your shapeless orbs watched her attentively.
"Darling, It's been a while..." She started before trailing off with a bittersweet smile, her hands gently motioning to caress you through the beam of sunlight that was your soul. Her smile grew, a longing pulling at the corners of her mouth as her hand ran through you.
"You've done it...you found the Joestars" She trailed off, her tone filled with both pride and a sense of forlorn sadness. Your whisper of sunlight hair flicked in the wind as her hand left you.
"I miss you Mom.." You whispered softly. Light danced into the greyscale that surrounded you as the tender moment lingered.
"And I miss you, so so much my love." Her smile faltered for a moment before she continued in a serious tone. "But listen, please listen carefully! You don't have much time." Her words left her in a hurry. "By now...Dios presence has taken hold of my dear friend Holly. Her stand is out of control and eating away at her soul." Her hands balled into fists as her lashes fluttered closed, she rested there for a moment before continuing. "You will have to travel and find Dio, you will have to save her my little one." A silence filled the air as her words lingered in the grey space surrounding you.
"There's hardship facing you in your nearest journey.." A pained smile looked at you as she continued her attempt to try and push your hair behind your ear. "You will lose some friends, some for a while..and some forever.." Your beam of a form watched her as she continued. "But-you are the one to help the Joestars accomplish what our family has aspired towards for generations."
A flicker ran though the beam of light that embodied you, your hesitation in yourself ringing through. You felt more than acted as you looked up to your mothers glowing shadow, lost to yourself.
'How can I overcome something even my mother hasn't?' The thought echoed, your mothers head tilting up as if she heard it in a soft breeze, acknowledging the sentiment with a nod of resolution. She smiled softly, rays of light beaming out of the apples of her cheeks.
"Well, you can overcome it simply because it's you (y/n)." She paused, her hand falling back to her side after her ceaseless attempt to carcass your locks in a motherly embrace. "Because it's always supposed to have been you-" her voice faltered, a bittersweet tone to her voice. "It's so clear now!" Her tone rang through you like a new revelation.
"Everything that has passed, will end with you two." She whispered, the strands of her breath traveling through you as they carried her message. Her hand reached up to grasp your non-existent cheek as she stared at you longingly. Her form began to flicker as as she urgently whispered her last words.
"It's always been you darling, didn't you know?"
You jolted up in a start, the warmth of your mothers touch still lingering on your cheek. (Y/c) lashes squeezed shut, groggily trying to capture the moment in an organic snapshot. The bed was cold beside you as your lungs filled desperately with air, your eyes scanning the room for your favorite raven.
He was nowhere to be found.
The tension in your shoulders slightly relaxed as you took a deep breath, running through the shared memories lingering from your Hamon connection last night. It was confusing, and made you dizzy when you tried to separate the memories between Jotaro and yourself. Your arms wrapped around your knees tenderly as you mentally chewed the message your mother left you with.
'My nearest journey huh?' (Y/c) orbs flickered back and forth, silently trying to decide between two invisible paths. Did she mean your trip to Japan...or something else? Where were you headed? What about Mrs. Kujo? Was this a message of warning towards your pursuit of Dio? You shook your head, dismissing the frustration of trying to decipher your mothers warning. A deep breath expanded your chest as your nose crinkled, smelling the sweat and bodily fluids clinging to you.
'Right..last night-' A heated blush dusted your cheeks as you thought of the warm embrace you experienced last night.
'-time for a shower.' You cut off your thoughts, a warm tingling of excitement gathering in your belly.
"It's too early for that." You chided to your body as if it were a child asking for candy in the early morning. The firm grasp of your hands lifted the covers up in a firm response, the cool morning air brushing against your skin. (Y/s/c) limbs quickly fumbled out of Jotaros sheets as you made your way to the bathroom.
You were sore.
You were sticky all over and..well..other places.
There was a loud squeak that rang through the walls as you rotated the shower handle, the cool water splashing against the stone walls. You sighed, feeling the shower to test the temperature as you chewed your lip in thought.
'He could have at least woken me up...' The voice in your head was tinged with sadness, small pangs of insecurity wiggling through the cracks in your confidence. The water warmed, a rolling steam now flowing up towards the ceiling and fogging the nearby mirror. A brisk chill ran up you, the hot droplets running down your skin as you entered the shower rinsing last nights essence away. You quickly cleaned yourself, your fingers cleaning the folds of your flower as the water ran over you. You stood under the water, letting it cleanse you for a lingering moment before you turned off the nozzle, nimbly grabbing a fluffy towel laying by the shower. You pressed it to your shoulders, the plush cloth eagerly absorbing the droplets from your skin. You moved the cloth to gently wipe your face.
You paused.
It smelled like Jotaro.
You eagerly inhaled his scent, dismissing your embarrassment since you were alone. You stood in the bathroom, your face in his towel as you thought of last night. He was so close, his skin was hot to the touch under your grasp as it stretched over his flexed muscles. Somehow, he had been more gentle than you had imagined. You blushed heavily as you tried to hide your face further into the towel, muttering an embarrassed squeal.
"I can't believe he's that big..how is that even humanly possible? What is he, half horse!?" You pulled your face away from the towel in deep thought, your eyes widening as you thought about the size difference between you two. You quickly reached down to check yourself in a panic. You had been a little sore after all..you kept checking.
'Yep, everything's still in place..' You silently pondered, quickly wrapping and tucking the towel into your breast securely. Pruned fingertips lightly grasped your chin as you thought further on the matter.
"I can't believe that fit inside me though.." You muttered out loud absently, your shoulders jumping from a deep chuckle that erupted behind you.
Your stomach turned wildly in protest as you whipped your head around to see Jotaros towering form resting lazily against the open doorframe.
He was smirking. More importantly- he was smirking after standing there for who knows how long. Your mouth gaped open, silently opening and closing like a Magikarp a few times before you finally managed to sort out what to say.
"How much did you hear?"
Ouch. You jumped slightly at the high pitch of your own panicked voice. You watched Jotaro with wide eyes as another chuckle escaped him, shaking his head before pushing away from the door to make his way to stand in front of you. He towered over you in all of your towel-cloaked-glory as he gently lifted his hand up to caress your cheek tenderly.
"Since the horse comment." He stated matter-o-factly, a cheeky yet brilliant smile dancing upon his face. He leaned down, raising your chin with his hand before he kissed you gently. A part of your embarrassment melted away with the heat of the kiss, his lips enticing you in a wet dance.
His tongue was warm as it crossed the seam of your lips, your petals opening obediently in longing. The soft caress guided you into a heated dance, his grip tightening as a heavy sigh escaped you.
'How is he such a good kisser?' The thought brushed your mind, your hooded eyes watching him as he slightly pulled away. The rough pad of his thumb stroked your cheek as he stared at you for a moment, leaning down to brush his lips against your ear.
"Trust me..I'm one hundred percent human." The tickle of his smirk brushed your ear as he pulled away in a laugh, his hand falling back to his side.
(Y/c) orbs widened in embarrassment as you registered what he said, your face heating up like a tomato. You smacked his built bicep playfully- but with a little more force thanks to his teasing. He halfheartedly tried to block it as his laugh echoed in the bathroom along with his name being squealed.
"You could have told me you were there you dingus!" You squealed as his laugh fell to a chuckle. He smiled at you as his eyes crinkled in amusement.
"I thought you were still asleep," His hands found their way into his pockets habitually. "But when I found you, I couldn't interrupt your...deep thoughts." He snickered. You opened your mouth to reply before he gently cut you off.
"I made breakfast, it's in the room." He turned to make his way towards the bedroom, you paused in surprise before following him.
'He made me breakfast...?' You thought, a shy smile gracing your face as your bare feet padded on the stone floors behind him. A warmth filled your chest, completely eradicating any thoughts of insecurity or self-doubt in your steps behind him.
(Y/c) orbs glanced towards the bed to see two trays resting neatly, two servings of grilled fish and rice waiting to be devoured. Jotaro sat down on the side near the wall, watching you expectantly. The ruffle of the fabric filled the room as you plopped down opposite of him, still in your towel. Jotaro bowed, pressing his hands together silently before picking up his chopsticks. He paused, watching you as if he were waiting for you to start your meal.
Oh. He was waiting for you! You blushed before fumbling a grateful thanks, quickly picking up your chopsticks to dig into the meal.
Your eyes sparkled with the first bite, it was delicious! The fish had been grilled to perfection, the outside a crisp layer while the inside remained a soft and tender delicacy. Your eyes widened in surprise as you snapped your gaze to Jotaro, his own eyes watching you in question.
"Delicious!" You mummer after you swallowed your first bite. You watched as his face relaxed into a satisfied smirk, his eyes crinkling in pride.
"Did you make this?" You asked happily putting another bite in your mouth.
"It's nothing special." He grunted, trying to hide a smile as he ate a piece of the mentioned fish. You smiled. He was being bashful.
'How cute.' You thought, putting another bite of the delicious breakfast into your eager mouth. The two of you ate in a comfortable silence, the scent of the delicious meal filling the room. Jotaro quietly set his chopsticks down after finishing as he patiently waited for you to finish. You ate your last bite as you set your own chopsticks down to match his stare. His next words were soft, filled with a sad undertone as he started his sentence.
"The old lady..." he trailed off, his words catching in his throat. "She's not doing so well, her stand is eating away at her body.." Jade eyes flickered with something you hadn't seen before.
They were filled with worry.
He sighed, looking back up at you before he continued, watching your response carefully.
"And...we found Dio." His words rang like an ancient gong, the resolution of their finish reverberating within your being. His eyes stared at you sharply as you held his stare in shock.
Dio had a destination. The thought chilled you to the bone, a slight panic erupting within you. He was the murderer of your mother, the bane of your generational existence. Yet, he was finally pinpointed. Your body tensed in both stress and determination as you accepted his words. Your (y/c) orbs snapped up to stare into the ravens, a smoldering rage flickering in the reflection of you before him.
"Where is he." You stated more than asked.
His burning jade eyes watched you for a moment, before sighing defeatedly.
"Yare yare daze, how can I resist such a beautiful intense stare?" He smirked, his eyes dancing playfully. Your own orbs widened as you were caught off guard at his flirtatious comment in response to your intensity. Jotaro sighed, leaning back from his tray.
"He's in Egypt. Kakyoin pinpointed him from a fly in the Polaroid. We're leaving in two days." He paused.
"All of us." He watched you intently as you processed his words. The pounding of your heart rang in your ears. Anxiety. Rage. Anticipation. Determination. All of the feelings whirled into a ball of emotion in your stomach, your back straightening as you nodded.
"Let's end him." Your fists balled beside you. "For both your family, and mine." He nodded.
Jotaro closed his eyes as he gathered your two trays. His motioned with his shoulders to exit the room, you followed obediently after dressing yourself. His eyes had watched you as you bashfully turned to put your clothes on. Once you were finished, he began walking away as you quickly followed him.
Your footsteps echoed as you followed Jotaro through the halls. (Y/c) orbs stared at his broad shoulders in worry, the earlier warning of his mothers danger ringing within you.
"Your mother-" the words caught in your throat with hesitation. "Is she okay?" You watched as his shoulders fell.
"The doctors are examining her as we speak.." loud footsteps echoed through the hall along with your own. "They say she has about 50 days." Your eyes widened in shock at the short time.
"50 days?!" Your voice sounded panicked as you heard yourself speak before you could help it. You squeezed your eyes shut, chiding yourself. Jotaro was probably hurting, you needed to support him.
He silently turned and walked into the kitchen, you following closely behind him. The trays clinked as they were set by the sink to be washed. A soft whisper of the faucet chimed as Jotaro began the motions of washing the dishes. Your expression snapped to him as you quickly walked beside him to help clean the kitchenware. He grunted a quiet 'thanks' as you two massaged sud filled sponges along the plates and trays. You bit your lip in thought, finally deciding to say something.
"You know we'll do it right?" You paused your sponge mid-scrub. "Save her that is..." Your voice trailed off as the sadness of his mothers health lingered in the air. Jotaros broad shoulder pressed against you in a silent response as you glanced at his face out of the corner of your eye. A small smile tenderly tugged at the corner of his mouth. You silently matched his smile, knowing that was his way of agreeing with you.
The two of you finished the dishes before he turned around, tilting towards the dining room with his chin.
"Come." The long duster rustled as he walked towards the motioned destination. "They're waiting for us."
You quickly wiped your hands before following him into the room. Your eyes scanned the occupants. Jotaro, Joseph, Avdol, and wait...was that Kakyoin? You both locked eyes as his own matched your surprise. The redhead turned his head to look between Jotaro and Joseph.
"(Y/n)..is she involved?" His question lingered in the air for a moment before Joseph responded.
"Her family has been plagued by the presence of Dio for generations. Her grandfather, Caesar, was a very dear friend of mine..." His voice trailed off sadly as Kakyoin nodded silently, not arguing with the statement. You made a mental note to ask him about what your grandfather was like later. Joseph cleared his throat before continuing the conversation from before you entered the room.
"So, in two days we will leave on our venture to Egypt to find Dio." A large world map was spread on the table as everyone discussed travel routes and types, trying to avoid just taking one single method of transportation as a caution for safety. You listened in, making a few suggestions yourself as everyone formed a well thought out plan together.
It had been over an hour, the small group that huddled over the map gave a unison sigh of relief as a conclusion was reached. The plan would start in two days, travel arrangements had to be made after all.
The tension in the room relaxed as a sense of stability in the situation grounded everyone's nervous mentalities. Yourself included. There was finally a goal, the demise of the one you hated so much finally was within reach. The beat of your heart echoed in your ears as you thought of your mothers warning.
'Not everyone is going to make it..' you thought, your eyes dancing over everyone's expression as they landed on your favorite raven. You bit your lip, pushing back the lump in your throat at the thought of losing Jotaro. 'He'll make it. If anyone does, it'll be Jotaro.' You nodded to yourself as you kept a positive mindset, quietly accepting even your own possible demise in a sacrifice for his life. You knew if it ever became a matter of either you or him, you would offer yourself in a moments notice. The thought lingered in your mind as the drabble of future details was discussed, you chiming in here or there. You bit your lip as the room filled with conversation, the thought of danger to the man you love sending a sharp prick of anxiety into your heart. The shuffle of everyone moving to part ways brought you back to reality as you stood to join them, quickly fixing the wrinkles in your skirt. Joseph was the first to say something.
"Alright, in two days we'll meet here at 6 am and leave then. Until then.." he flashed a bright smile, motioning a thumbs up. "Live life to the fullest, you never know what the future holds!" His eyes twinkled as they flashed a knowing smirk towards you and Jotaro particularly. You blushed before quickly looking away, trying to dismiss the pestering thought that he knew there was something between you and his grandson. The room bustled as everyone left, you silently following behind the towering man that captured your heart.
Later that night
You breathed heavily as you plopped down on Jotaros bed, the 3 hour long training you had just finished leaving you tired. You wanted to sleep. A huff of air escaped you as you leaned back, your legs lazily dangling off the bed as you stretched your arms along the sheets. There was a soft thud as Jotaro planted himself on the floor beside your legs, his back leaning against the mattress wearily as he lifted off his cap and set it down beside him. It was a long workout for both of you. A comfortable quiet filled the air as your two forms relaxed into the warm summer humidity that lingered in the room. Your heart jumped as the raven broke the pleasant silence.
"Two days.." the words lingered in the night air as he sighed, the soft ruffling of fabric filling the room as he rose to his knees to half stand in front of your form laying on the bed. Calloused fingers grazed your thighs, sending chills up your spine as they massaged up and down the length of your tired muscles. You sighed contently before he continued, his voice holding a stern resolution.
"..I'll protect you." His caress stopped, before your eyes opened in surprise.
He was resting his head tenderly on you, his warm cheek pressed on your lower stomach as he desperately grasped your hips. Your skin tingled as his rough pads snaked under your shirt to rub affectionate circles along your hip bones. (Y/c) orbs watched his mop of raven locks as the soft tickle of his breath on your bare skin sent more of those delicious jolts of electricity down to your womanhood. His head lifted as his grasp tightened its hold on you, jade orbs matching your own gaze with a frenzied passion.
"I'll never let anyone hurt you. Ever." He growled as his stare hardened, a blazing fire lighting up his gaze. You winced lightly as his grip tightened on your hips, both in pain and -unexpected- excitement. A soft gasp caught in your throat as he focused that smoldering gaze onto your soft (y/s/c) stomach, quickly lifting up the fabric on your shirt as he planted delicate kisses along your hip bones. His hot breath tickled your skin as his lips traveled along your lower stomach to kiss a heated trail to the other side lovingly. A heavy breath shook through you, your hands lowering to gingerly stroke his hair that was in its rare cap-less state. You smiled warmly as you watched him shower you with adoring kisses.
"I know." You whispered to him, his grip tightening even more at your response. He paused, his soft lips warming your skin with his breath as he spoke.
"You're mine (y/n)." The words left him in a choked growl, the emotions of the future and the danger it held made him uneasy and restless. He was in a wild primal state, you could see it in his eyes and the way they burned a deep green. Your heart skipped a beat every time they turned in your direction, your stomach doing helpless flip flops.
"I know." You whispered again, rubbing soft circles into his hair. He nuzzled his nose into you like a lost child, his vulnerable expression hidden from you.
"I won't let anyone harm what's mine." He growled again, his resolution ringing in his voice as his blazing jade eyes lifted up to stare at you with a burning fire. You felt your heart overflow with both trust and love as he held your gaze, a protective determination burning into your matched orbs.
"I know." You whispered gently, reaching your other hand to tenderly cradle his raven head in between your palms. You loved him with everything you were, your heart ached as you attempted to convey the feeling with a simple look. His eyes flickered in between you own before he lifted himself, his face leaning up to capture your lips in a timid kiss. A content sigh escaped you as you allowed him entry into your wet cavern, your tongue dancing an intricate tangle of saliva and hushed moans. Your eyes widened slightly into the kiss, the firm length of his manhood pressing into your thigh eagerly. Jotaro retreated, his face lifting from yours to stare at you with a heated gaze.
"I love you (y/n)." He said sternly, his eyes flickering in between your own again. Your smile widened as your grasp on his thick locks tightened. A growl sounded from deep within him as his chest vibrated along your stomach. His hands tightened around your hips as he continued, leaning down to plant more soft kisses along your skin. He paused, his breath coming out in a hushed whisper.
"I want you." He planted more soft kisses before he paused to speak again, his words coming out in a choked plea. "I need you (y/n)."
Your shoulders flexed as his assault on your skin continued in a frenzy, your words coming out in an aroused whisper.
"Then take me." You glanced at him as he stopped, slowly turning his face to stare into your eyes hesitantly as if trying to decide to say something.
"We.." he bashfully turned his face away as he hid his expression, his nervous heart beat thumping against your own chest. "We both want you."
Your eyes snapped open, your elbows propping you up as you glanced down at his hidden expression.
"...we?" Your voice was laced with confusion as you watched him, your eyes widening as his stand began to manifest behind him.
"Yes, we." His head lifted as he said the words resolutely, the built violet form behind him watching your reaction intently.
"Jotaro.." you trailed off, a huff of air escaping you. A long pause filled the room as he patiently waited for you to chew the thought around, giving it a solid chance.
'I was hardly able to take all of Jotaro..how could this even be physically possible?!' You glanced up to look at the antsy man and his stand waiting patiently. The heavy stare watched your expression as your thoughts played across your face, as they always do, just like an open book. You would never know, but it was something he absolutely loved about you, and could never get enough of.
You finally processed through your pros and cons, the final decision swayed by Joseph's words as they echoed in your head.
"Live life to the fullest, you never know what the future holds!"
You nodded hesitantly as both the raven and his stand stared at you with both surprise and excitement -and wait- was that amusement?
You sighed hopelessly, when it came to Jotaro, how could you resist?
