(Jojo / Jjba X Reader) A 7TH Stand User Joins The Party

Chapter 6

You could have jumped directly out of your skin.

You jolted forward, turning to look at him.

Polnareff looked back at you, seeming surprised at your reaction. He was nowhere near as close as he felt. Your cheeks went bright red.

"Are you okay?" he finally asked.

You just nodded your head, "yeah, yeah... I was... the pet-name just caught me off guard I guess?" you said, laughing.

It was his turn to blush, "I didn't mean anything by it." He said, rubbing the back of his neck, "er, the knot is out.... Wasn't as bad as it felt." he said, moving back to his spot on the bed.

"Yeah... thanks." you said, stretching out.

"Anytime you need a hand with something like that, let me know." he said with a smile.

You just nod in response, pulling the covers back and climbing into bed. It was comfortable enough, so you quickly fell asleep next to him.

You slowly woke the next morning feeling heat against your back. It was nice, so you pressed back into it without a second though　

That was.. Until you remembered who you were in bed with.

You jolted, turning over in bed a bit to see Polnareff's peaceful sleeping face. Oh.... he actually looked pretty nice like this. When he wasn't making a ruckus or being fairly narcissistic about his hair.... Yeah.

You found yourself studying his features, how they had softened when not affected by the stress of the journey so far... just wow...

You slowly got up, sitting on the edge of the bed as you checked the clock. 6:13 am.... The rest of the group would be meeting soon. They all usually rose early since there was such a long journey ahead.

You reached over, shaking Polnareff's shoulder gently. "Hey, if you want to get a shower before we go, you should get up. It's after six." you said, nodding to the clock.

He awoke with a grunt, blinking up at you before sitting up. He rubbed his hands over his face. "Yeah..."

"Be careful of your injuries." you reminded before standing up. "I'm going down to see if they offer breakfast." you said. "I'll grab you something."

Polnareff grumbled something that sounded a bit like a 'thanks' as he stumbled into the bathroom. Looks like he wasn't much of a morning person... You shook your head, checking your appearance in the mirror before heading out into the hall.

You headed for the main floor, surprised to see it was actually somewhat crowded. You spotted a familiar looking figure and called out. "Avdol?"

It was indeed the robed man, and he turned to face you with a smile. "Good morning, (y/n). Did you sleep well?" He asked.

"Yeah, I slept okay.." you said, blushing a little at remembering how you woke so close to Polnareff. "Uh, do you know if they provide breakfast here?" you asked him.

"Yes, they do. That's actually where I'm headed now. Would you like to join me?" he asked, smiling at you.

You nodded, following after the other man. You kind of looked up to Avdol right now. He seemed so put together, so level-headed. He was the kind of guy you would go to for advice.

He led you over to a small food bar, there was some fresh fruit, baked goods, cereal, some pre-packaged foods, and beverages.

You didn't realise how hungry you were until you saw it all. You grabbed yourself a plate, grabbing a couple pieces of fruit and prepackaged food, shoving them into your pockets for later. You never knew when you might need a snack. You helped yourself to a muffin and a bowl of cereal.

Avdol was already sitting at a table, so you went to sit with him. He had a couple pieces of fruit on his plate and a drink.

"Is everyone else asleep still?" you asked him, starting to dig into your muffin.

"Yes, despite his looks, Joseph usually sleeps in. I don't know Kakyoin and Jotaro's morning routine, though they usually join the group together." Avdol said, starting to peel the orange on his plate.

God, That orange smelled great right now. It smelled sweet and perfectly ripe.... But it was incredibly embarrassing to even consider asking for some of Avdol's food.

Avdol must have seen you staring at it. He finished peeling the orange and placed half of the slices on your plate, giving you a smile.

"Oh... Thank you-" you said, trying to pretend as if you hadn't been ogling it for the last thirty seconds. You took a bite of one of the slices and it was just as sweet and juicy as it looked.

"... since we're alone, I think I should let you in on something important." Avdol suddenly said, looking soberly at you.

"Mh?" you looked up at him, shivering as you felt the mood change.

"... Last night, Joseph used Hermits Purple on our TV to see if we could gain any more information about Dio, but..."

"What did you find?" you asked, a chill creeping up your spine.

"Well... we may have a traitor among us... it said to be wary of Kakyoin."
