This is a second attempt at rewriting this chapter as someone (Likely a school administrator, as this is a school device I am writing this own.) deleted my halfway finished chapter.
Anyway. Some things to note:
Character sexual orientations:
Giovanni- Pansexual. Does not discriminate against any gender identity or sex.
Jonathan- Straight. Good boy Jonathan is straight so he can continue the Joestar bloodline.
Dio- Bisexual. He has his canon sexuality and he fucked many women and Pucci.
Johnny- Gay. He is unknowingly in love with Giovanni. He's 9 years old, so he doesn't have sexual feelings yet.
Diego- I don't know what to do with Diego right now. He could be anything honestly.
Hope you enjoy the chapter. Also note that Andrew/Giovanni has never seen Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I don't like it where the protagonist knows every bad thing that is going to happen. I also don't like fanfics that change the base story too much.
…
After George helped Dio and Diego get settled in, he called Giovanni, Jonathan and Johnny for Breakfast. The Joestar dining room was very simple compared to the rest of the mansion. It had a large table made out of Mahogany with 10 chairs lining said table. The windows were adorned with simple yet elegant curtains that were opened to allow the sunlight in the dining room. George was seated at the end of the table, with Dio and Diego seated to his left. Giovanni, Jonathan and Johnny were seated to George's right. The atmosphere was tense. You could almost cut said tension with a knife.
Or you would have been able to if Jonathan wasn't eating like a pig. He seemed to not have any table manners, as food stained his Victorian era jacket around the chest area. Jonathan didn't use any napkins either, as food stained his mouth and chin. 'Has Mr. Joestar really not taught him any table manners yet? I thought he was only a bad father to Johnny.' Thought Giovanni with confusion. From what his memories tell him, George would usually point out their mistakes almost immediately, at least when Giovanni and Jonathan made mistakes. He cut quite a lot of corners with Johnny.
Speaking of Johnny, Giovanni noted that he ate with much less speed and much more neatly than Jonathan. Johnny seemed tense, stealing gazes at the Brando brothers, Giovanni could almost sense the nervousness oozing off of Johnny. To calm his little brother down, he gently put his hand on his shoulder and gaze a reassuring squeeze. Johnny turned his head and Giovanni gave him a smile. Johnny returned the smile, albeit it was a bit small and meek.
Taking Giovanni out of his thoughts, George's voice rang out rather loudly, "Jojo! Do you not have any manners? Look at Dio and Diego. See how they are eating?" Said boys were eating almost flawlessly. They had even better table manners than George. 'They must have practiced before they arrived.' Concluded Giovanni.
"I-I'm sorry father." Jonathan apologized rather weakly. His face flushed with shame and embarrassment. Why had his father not said anything about it before? Never in the 12 years of his life had he ever been chastised about his lack of table manners. What had changed? Why was his father acting so cold all of a sudden? Jonathan attempted to fix his awful manners, but due to eating the way he wanted his entire life, he failed miserably.
Before George could scold Jonathan any further, Giovanni spoke up. "Jojo. Let me teach you how to eat properly." With those words, their on the fly etiquette lessons began. Jonathan learned how to hold his fork and spoons correctly, how to keep his head away from the table while he ate, how to bring his food to his mouth, and most importantly, to keep his mouth closed while he ate. 'I'll have no smacking in this house, young man.' Thought Giovanni. He really hated it when people smack when they ate. It is disgusting.
The rest of breakfast was eaten in silence. As the Joestar family was leaving the dining hall, Jonathan walked up to Giovanni. "Thanks for the help Gio! I owe you one." Jonathan was truly grateful to his adopted brother. He had embarrassed himself in front of the whole family, but he was glad Gio was there to correct him when their father didn't. Jonathan was truly confused. Why had father chosen now to try and improve his eating habits? Why not speak to him about it beforehand?
Giovanni chuckled. "No problem, Jojo." He honestly liked his new brother. He seemed so genuine and pure. He no doubt would be a noble gentleman when he grew up. As Giovanni walked out the door, he noticed Johnny was looking rather down. From what his memories told him, He and Johnny were very close. 'I'm going to turn that cute frown into a cuter smile' Thought Giovanni with a smile of his own.
"What's wrong Joekid?" Asked Giovanni as he walked up beside the saddened looking Joestar. Joekid was a nickname every one of the workers at the horse stables called Johnny. So obviously Giovanni started to call him that as well. 'I'm going to take Johnny to the stables and ride some horses. That'll cheer him up' Thought Giovanni with a smile.
Johnny turned at the sound of Giovanni's voice. Seeing Giovanni, Johnny's face lit up. "Gio!" He moved forward for a hug that Giovanni didn't have the will nor the heart to refuse. "I-I tried to talk to Diego. I wanted to be friends with him. But he laughed at me!" said Johnny as he clutched around Giovanni tightly, tears starting to brim in his eyes. "Why does no one ever want to be my friend?" Johnny's tears were freely flowing now. Unlike Jonathan, Johnny couldn't seem to make any actual friends. None of the other Noble boys liked him and thought he was weird.
These words broke Giovanni's heart. "Don't worry about that Johnny, you have me." Giovanni was thinking of words to try and dissuade Johnny's concerns about having no friends. He was struggling to come up with anything. "Uh….um. Well, if they don't want to be your friend, then they are idiotic. You are so fun and lovable Johnny. I love being your friend." That should work. It didn't sound too advanced for Johnny's young mind to not understand and not too simple to be ineffective in an argument.
"You mean it Gio? Really?" Johnny's voice and face did a 180 from hopeless to hopeful. He always thought that he was unwanted and unloved. Especially since not even his father gave him time. Even Jonathan would rather hang out with his own friends than Johnny. Nobody except for Gio ever played with him.
"Yes. I do mean it. Don't let those idiots tell you that you are unwanted alright?" Giovanni bent down to Johnny's height and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "Now, come on let's go to the Stables and ride some of the horses." That would get Johnny's mind off of things. It would help him forget about that Diego guy as well.
"O-Ok." Johnny's face was beet red at the moment. He felt butterflies in his stomach. He felt like he had a sensation in his stomach and head that was like he was dreading something horrible but instead of dread, he felt….warmth? It was an odd feeling, yet Johnny decided that he liked the feeling very much.
...
Time seemed to pass quickly after the Brando brother's arrival. Weeks went by without incident, at less on Giovanni and Johnny's side. This was not the case for Jonathan. Dio seemed to basically destroy Jonathan's life in only a few weeks time. Jonathan's "friends" had abandoned him due to Dio's influence. He lost everyone of the people he hang around with. Not only that, Dio had brutally defeated Jonathan in a boxing match in front of everyone, using a dirty trick that could have put Jonathan's eye out. Yet Jonathan's demeanor didn't seem to change. He was still cheery and upbeat. Giovanni wondered why Jonathan could be in such a good mood even after Dio had destroyed his social network.
"Jojo? Are you at all concerned or down with the fact that Dio destroyed all of your friendships?" Giovanni asked Jonathan, when they were alone. If that had happened to him in his previous life, or if something like that severed him from Johnny, Giovanni would go ballistic. Giovanni admired Jonathan for his composure and control of his emotions. It was rather confusing, though. Giovanni's memories tell him that Jonathan is rather passionate. He would normally not be in control so easily.
Jonathan told him that he had been hanging around Erina Pendleton. A noble girl whose father recently moved here. She had been hassled by two rowdy nobles who, from Jonathan's descriptions, Giovanni had recognized them as some of Dio's lackeys. Jonathan had put himself in harms way to protect Erina, who he didn't even know at the time. He did not expect anything in return from Erina, as he was a gentleman. Every since Dio had arrived and destroyed Jonathan's friendships, Jonathan had began to spend time with Erina instead. Jonathan told Giovanni in confidence that he and Erina were now dating. Giovanni wished them the best of luck.
Giovanni, at the moment, was in his room reading books. There was no TV or video games or internet in this time period to entertain himself. It was either read books or hang out with Johnny. Johnny was currently taking a nap, as he was tired from a day of horse riding with Giovanni, so Giovanni could only read books. The book he was currently reading, was rather uninteresting, so he was going to go to the library to obtain a new one. He however was interrupted by the sound of yelling come from the first floor. Walking towards the sound of the yelling, Giovanni was surprised by what awaited him.
It was Dio and Jonathan fighting. Giovanni couldn't make out any words but Jonathan seemed to be getting angrier by the second. He saw Dio elbow Jonathan in the nose and rub his elbow in as if it were an insult. Then Dio pushed him up against the wall, knocking off The Stone Mask that belonged to George Joestar's late wife. After a couple of seconds, Jonathan attacked Dio again. Dio landed a kick on Jonathan's head, but Jonathan stayed on his feet, barely phased by the headkick, surprising Giovanni and Dio both.
Jonathan hit Dio across the face and yelled "I'm going to beat you until you cry like a baby, Dio!" This time it was loud enough for Giovanni to hear clearly. Jonathan resumed his brutal beatdown of Dio Brando. It reminded Giovanni of a child hitting a Pinata with a baseball bat. With one final uppercut, Jonathan launched Dio into the air with force, knocking blood out off his mouth that landed on The Stone Mask. The mask shot out a spiky formation that reminded Giovanni of a human rib cage, but scarier and sharper. This also caught Jonathan's attention, who seemed confused by this action. The mask had never done this before. It had always simply been a decoration.
Jonathan and Giovanni had their thoughts interrupted by sniffling. To their surprise, it was Dio. He was actually crying! It took an enormous amount of self control for Giovanni to not laugh at this. 'I didn't think that he would actually cry from getting his ass kicked. Hahahaha!' Thought Giovanni with extreme amusement.
"Bastard! How dare you lay a hand on me!?" Dio yelled through tears as he stood and drew a switchblade. It seemed Jonathan and Dio's fight would resume, only this time much deadlier, but a voice rang out from the second floor by the top of the staircase. "Stop!" All three boys looked to find the owner of the voice, and to their surprise it was George Joestar. 'I can't believe I didn't see him walk up to us.' Thought Giovanni. 'I must have been too focused on the fight.'
George looked sternly at Jonathan. "Jojo. I know boys your age tend to use fisticuffs to solve their problems, but I saw you beat Dio brutally!" said George sternly to Jonathan. His voice was cold and his eyes colder.
"Father, he-" Jonathan tried to say. But George cut him off before he could even begin to try and present an argument.
"I don't want a word out of you, Jojo! Go to your room." George turned his attention to Dio. "You too, Dio. I will speak to you both about this later." With that George walked away. In Giovanni's direction. George turn his gaze to Giovanni. "Why did you not try and stop them, Gio?"
Giovanni had the perfect defense for this, however. "It was simply not my business, father. They have to sort out their own issues on their own." This was not really the reason he stayed out of the fight. He truly stayed out because he wanted to see Jonathan beat Dio's ass.
"Hm. That would be wise for a random fight in a bar or on the street, but when your brothers are involved, you need to step in and prevent them from being hurt." George thought that Giovanni's response was clever, but George could see right through the veil that Giovanni put up. But George did not point this out and simply left Giovanni with these words.
Giovanni had to talk with Jonathan. However, Jonathan had quickly left to his room. Giovanni thought it would be for the best if he let Jonathan cool down before he attempted to ask him what the hell was going on. So Giovanni left for his original destination, The Library. As Giovanni took almost 20 minutes to find a sufficiently interesting book, he noticed the servants were all heading to a single direction. Giovanni followed a servant to where they were all going. The led Giovanni to the back of the house, by the incinerator. There were almost 2 dozen servants there along with George, Jonathan and even Johnny and Diego.
Giovanni asked to the closest servant, "Excuse me, but what is going on?" The servant turned toward Giovanni and Giovanni could see a twinge of sympathy in the man's eye. He servants expression was somber and he hesitated to answer Giovanni. He eventually managed to fill Giovanni what had happened. Danny was dead. Somehow he had been trapped in the incinerator when it was turned on. The servant didn't know who put him in there, but the theory currently was a robber. However Giovanni knew exactly who did it. Dio. That bastard. He...killed Danny. Giovanni wasn't too close to Danny, but he was fond of him. Jonathan and Johnny however were very close to the dog.
Speaking of the two, they did not look very good. Johnny was openly sobbing. The sight broke Giovanni's heart. It actually made him tear up a bit. He couldn't stand seeing Johnny cry. In the past few weeks, the man who was once known as Andrew had truly became fond of Johnny, not just somewhat fond due to not actually knowing them yet, but truly close, as if his soul had been bonded to him.
Jonathan did not look much better. He looked completely shell shocked. Numb. As if his entire world just collapsed. Unknown to Giovanni, it basically had. His friends abandoned him, Erina also abandoned him after Dio stole her first kiss and now Danny was dead. Everything except for his family was just gone.
Giovanni walked up next to Johnny and Jonathan, who were standing beside each other. He tapped both off them on the shoulder. As they both turned around Giovanni took note of what he saw. Johnny was shaking, he seemed to fidget every 3 seconds. Jonathan looked empty from the outside, but Giovanni could tell he had a maelstrom of emotions going on underneath. Giovanni wordlessly took both of them into a group hug. Johnny's sobs seem to become uncontrollable and Jonathan seemed the start softly crying. Tears starting slowly coming down Giovanni's cheeks as well. The sadness of the situation was getting to him.
As Giovanni hugged both his brothers, he saw Diego look at the spot where Danny was buried. He saw a slight smile. It wasn't a happy smile, but a slightly crazy one. This sight filled Giovanni with rage. This little bastard knew exactly what had happened and he still had the gall to show up. Giovanni knew he couldn't blow up now, but he swore that Dio and his brother would pay for this. Dio destroyed Jonathan's life and made Johnny cry. Silently, Giovanni swore vengeance.
Giovanni looked at George Joestar. George had a sad demeanor on his face. It appears even he had a heart after all. 'How long until you realize the Brando brothers are monsters, Mr. Joestar?' Thought Giovanni.
...
August, 1886
It turns out, a long goddamn time. 5 years had passed sense that day. The current year was 1886. Quite a lot had happened in the 5 years between the day of Danny's death and now.
First off, Dio wasn't nearly as much of an asshole now. While he wasn't exactly pleasant to be around, at least in Giovanni's opinion, he was much more subdued than he had been when he had just recently arrived to the manor. Another major thing to list is that Diego and Johnny were friends now. After Danny's death, Johnny had been practically inconsolable. But during that time, Diego had actually grown closer to Johnny. The two of them were horse jockeys in training, as they both had a passion for horses.
All of the children of George Joestar had gone though numerous physical changes as well. Giovanni, Jonathan and Dio had massively change. They shot up in height, with Jonathan being 6'0, Dio being 5'11 and Giovanni being the tallest at 6'1. They also had much more muscle mass as well, thanks to playing rugby and lifting weights. Dio had the most lean frame of of the 3 boys, but that didn't mean he was skinny in the slightest. He still had a lot of muscle and was bigger than most of the Rugby team members in terms of Muscle mass.
Jonathan was the largest of the 3 boys, being built like a brick shithouse. He had a massive amount of muscle, and didn't even fit though some doors. Giovanni was in the middle of Jonathan and Dio. He had more muscle mass than Dio but less than Jonathan. He still held it over both Jonathan and Dio that he was the tallest even though he was the youngest, at 16.
The other two children of George Joestar also grew, however nowhere near as much as the others. Their height had increased, with Diego being 5'3 and Johnny being 5'2. They had luckily had the right type of build for horse racing, small and lithe. This wasn't to say they were completely muscleless. Their muscle were tight, hard and condensed, rather than being extremely bulky like Jonathan, Dio and Giovanni.
Giovanni had to go through puberty again. Needless to say the experience was not very fun for him in the slightest. Raging hormones and out of control emotions was rather unbecoming of the reputation he tried to build, cool and calculating. He had begun to very much appreciate the bodies of all types of humans.
This also extend to his family. He didn't exactly find himself attracted to Johnny and Dio. Jonathan was too pure for him and Dio just had a slightly grating personality, not too mention his past evils he had committed in his earlier days at the Joestar mansion. One would say he had too much character development behind him to be attracted to. However did unattraction did not extend to Johnny and Diego.
Giovanni found the both of them, Johnny and Diego, pretty hot. Johnny was just too cute and his toned but not overly muscular body he attained from his training as a jockey made him cute and sexy in Giovanni's eyes. Diego had a similar physique to Johnny, so Giovanni was thought he was hot in that way, but Diego just had a bad boy thing that Giovanni thought was really sexy.
Giovanni was conflicted about his attraction to his little adopted brother. He had grown up with him, so it just felt rather weird to find his brother sexually attractive. He hoped Johnny didn't catch his leering gazes at him whenever he found Johnny without his shirt sometimes. Giovanni would literally fucking die from embarrassment.
Giovanni had wondered if he should ask Diego out. Diego was 15, only one year younger than him, and was technically still related to him by law, he didn't feel the same brotherly bond that he felt with Johnny. While Diego was much more bearable than his brother, he still wasn't exactly completely without his personality issues. Diego was a bit sadistic, unlike his older brother. Dio was more refined that his brother, who hadn't taken to noble life as well Dio.
Giovanni's decided against asking Diego out. If he and Diego did have a relationship, then Giovanni would have to deal with Dio much more often and more personally as well. Giovanni didn't want to have too much to do with Dio, as Dio fucking murdered Danny. Giovanni still hadn't forgiven Dio for that.
The reluctance in Giovanni's attraction to Johnny diminished when Johnny had actually told him that he had a crush on Diego. Giovanni didn't think Johnny swung that way. Johnny was only 14 and was just really starting to figure himself out. He must have realized that he liked men and started to take an interest in Diego. Johnny, spent less time with Giovanni and more time with Diego. He had been spending less time with Giovanni before this as he had finally started to become more independent, which Giovanni was completely fine with. But he had started spending even less time with Giovanni now.
That actually hurt. Johnny had been his cute little angel brother for almost 5 years before just a couple of months ago. He felt as if Johnny only talked to him to talk about how hot and cool Diego was. Giovanni found himself to actually be jealous of Diego. He realized he wanted Johnny to like him like that. Giovanni decided he didn't care that Johnny was basically like his brother. He had accepted that he was attracted to Johnny.
Things had all come to a head rather recently. Johnny had told him he was going to finally confess to Diego after 2 months. He was going to do it after their training at the stables. Giovanni was very sad and jealous at this. He had to pretend that he was completely fine with this develop. It actually kind of made him want to cry. After Johnny left, Giovanni did a lot of deep thinking. Why hadn't Johnny liked him instead of Diego. Giovanni had more muscle, height, strength and Giovanni knew he wasn't as hot as Diego, but he thought himself as relatively handsome.
Things seemed off. It was one hour after Johnny's practice should have ended and he still wasn't back yet. 'Don't tell me they are in their rooms fucking.' Thought Giovanni with some bitterness. He didn't even want to think of that. However, he did want to ask Johnny if everything had gone well or not, so Giovanni headed to the horse stables to ask the horse coach where Johnny was.
The coach was surprisingly a young lad named Gyro Zeppeli. He was around Diego's height with blond hair that was neatly combed with weird golden teeth. He wore an odd hat that had goggles on them as well. The kid told Giovanni that he had only seen Diego come back from the stables and he hadn't seen Johnny. Giovanni thanked Gyro and went to check out the stables themselves.
The stables were rather simple. Not anything to rich, but it didn't seem rundown. There were multiple barns for the horse and a field for the ones who weren't special enough to warrant a spot in any of the barns. Giovanni noticed there wasn't many workers there as it was rather late, with the sun setting in the sky. Giovanni looked where Johnny's horse, Slow Dancer, would normally be. Slow dancer was there, but Johnny was nowhere in sight.
After looking around the stables and coming up with jackshit, Giovanni was beginning to grow worried. It was getting dark outside and Giovanni didn't want Johnny out here by himself. Even though Johnny had been distant lately, Giovanni would watch out for him no matter what. Giovanni heard a sound back from behind one of the barns. It sounded like a soft crying.
Following the sound, Giovanni found Johnny Joestar on his knees with his hand up against the back of the barn, softly crying. The sight was rather shocking. 'What the hell happened?' Thought Giovanni. Did Diego do this?
Giovanni walked up behind Johnny and placed his large, calloused hand on Johnny's shoulder. "Johnny," began Giovanni. Johnny's head turned towards Giovanni. Giovanni could see his eyes were red and his cheeks were tear stained. "What happened?" asked Giovanni with concern. He would beat that Diego bastard up for what he did to his little angel brother.
Johnny pulled Giovanni into a tight hug, surprising Giovanni. After Johnny started to have feeling for Diego, he had stopped hugging Giovanni. It was something he didn't even know he cherished. Giovanni had wanted a hug from Johnny for 2 months. He hugged Johnny back tightly but gently, so he wouldn't hurt him with his strength. He felt the all too familiar warmth of love in throughout his body and he cherished it.
Johnny finally spoke up. "D-Diego...rejected me. He said he didn't like me. That Dio had told him to be my friend to gain my trust." Tears began streaming down Johnny's face once again, as he held Giovanni even tighter. "He said our f-friendship wasn't real." Johnny freely sobbed into Giovanni's muscled shoulder after saying these words.
Giovanni felt anger bubbling up inside him. How dare Diego hurt his little angel brother like that? 'He literally put his love into you and break his heart and drop that onto him at the same time. Diego...you bastard.' Thought Giovanni with rage in his heart. He would make sure Diego would pay for this.
"Johnny," Giovanni began. Johnny lifted his tear stained face out of Giovanni's shoulder to look at Giovanni directly in the eyes. "I don't know why Diego did that to you. He broke your heart and destroyed your friendship for nothing. He...is an idiot. He doesn't know what he is missing out on. You are kind, lovable, smart and beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you that you aren't." He was being genuine, down from the bottom of his heart. He wouldn't let Diego break his little angel brother like this. Giovanni would make sure Johnny knew his true worth.
"Gio...t-thank you." Johnny had no words. He felt so...touched. Gio actually thought that? It had to be impossible. He wasn't all that Gio said...right?
"You're welcome Johnny." Giovanni wondered if he should tell Johnny about his love. Johnny was in his darkest place right now, and maybe someone telling him that they loved him would help, even if he didn't reciprocate. 'Welp. Now or never.'
"J-Johnny. I have something I want to tell you." Johnny looked up at him, confused. "I...love you, Johnny. From the bottom of my heart. I didn't realize this until recently. I suspect I never acted on it, because I saw you as my brother. But I mean it, Johnny. I love you." Johnny was silent. Looking at him in disbelief. "I understand if you don't feel the same way. I'll stand away from you if that makes you comforabl-" Giovanni attempted to finished before he was interrupted by something.
"Something" being Johnny's lips. Johnny was kissing him. Odd. Giovanni didn't expect that. He expected Johnny to be weirded out or disgusted with him. Not this. However Giovanni wasn't going to complain. Giovanni returned the kiss gently, putting his hands around Johnny's waist. He had realized John had started to straddle him and he had slipped his arm around his shoulders. They both ended the kiss for air.
"Gio...I...feel the same. I have *pant* had these little feelings for *pant* you for a while. I thought you would think I was weird or disgusting or an abomination. I was...afraid." Johnny truly had fallen in love with Giovanni before he had with Diego. Johnny had only tried things with Diego because he felt Giovanni would reject him. Ironically it was the other way around.
"Johnny..." said Giovanni before he rekindled their kiss. Now more passionate and filled with more energy, Giovanni began to dominate Johnny's mouth with his own. Johnny seemed to melt in Giovanni's arm as he straddled him harder and tighter. Giovanni moaned through the kiss and pushed him down on his waist. They broke apart their kiss again, both of them panting.
Giovanni began to lick, suck and kiss at Johnny's neck. Johnny quivered at this and moaned lightly. He helped Giovanni take of his shirt and Johnny marveled at Giovanni's muscle torso almost hungrily. He grasped Gio's right pec with his right hand and began sucking his left nipple. Gio shook slightly and began moving his hands up underneath Johnny's shirt and feeling his hard, tight body. Johnny seemed to melt in Giovanni's hands as he quivered. They both met for another kiss that rivaled the passion of the last one, on this time their hands in more provocative places. Giovanni's hand moved down back to Johnny's waist and started to hold his ass in his hands. Johnny's hand were on both of Giovanni's muscled pecs and squeezing hard.
After their third kiss ended they both looked each other dead in the eye. Their faces were both red, their breath on each others and their rock hard erections touching each other through their clothes. Giovanni finally seemed to take notice that it was dark out, crickets singing loudly in the forest. He looked at Johnny with a grin. "You wanna take this to my bedroom?" Johnny immediately nodded. Giovanni put his shirt back on and took Johnny's hand in his and led Johnny back to the Joestar mansion.
...
Sorry it is a day late.
Hopefully it isn't too bad to have a 14 year old and a 16 year old have a relationship like this.
Lemon next chapter. Sorry if this was too fast.
