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

Chapter 30

Polnareff broke away before you could even react, pulling you into another crushing hug. This time you didn't complain, even though it felt like he was trying to break you. 

Polnareff released you, his cheeks suddenly looking awfully pink… you’re sure you looked the same. You were still trying to process exactly what just happened, but before you could say anything, the other crusaders were at your side, staring down at you with worried expressions.

“Are you okay?”
“Did That bastard do anything to you?” 
“Did he touch you?” 
“Where are you hurt?”
“Let me bandage your arm.” 
“How’d you get away?”
“I’ll fuckin’ kill Hol Horse next time I see him!”

They all asked their questions at once, making your head spin. “I’m fine… really… a little cut, a little bruised. I’m fine.” you said, managing a smile, “I can handle myself, y’know. I don't need you all babying me.” you laughed, almost a little offended they thought you couldn't manage something like that. 

You thought about telling them about what Hol Horse said about Dio wanting you back… but you decided to keep it to yourself for now. It would probably only cause more issues at this point… besides, it probably wasn't that important.

“It’s not that we’re babying you, (Y/N). We’re worried.” Said Joseph, rubbing the back of his head, “Especially Jotaro, I’ve never seen him get so wo-”

“Shut up, old man.” said Jotaro, turning his back, “They said they’re fine. They don’t need special treatment. Lets get going already.” He was already walking off with his hands in his pockets, leaving you with the other three. 

Kakyoin shook his head, “(Y/N), let me take care of your injuries. It would be bad if anything got infected.” He said, gently taking your hand, lifting your arm up so he could examine it. 

Ow- You winced. You were certainly bruised up, though you were pretty relieved to know that nothing felt broken. 

“Sorry, (y/n). It looks like it hurts.” Kakyoin said, releasing your hand. 

“We should really get going,” Joseph said, glancing back, “we still have that woman to worry about…” he muttered. 

Kakyoin nodded in agreement, and the two of them started heading back. 

Polnareff was very pointedly avoiding your gaze right now. Was he embarrassed? He was the one who kissed you all of the sudden! Eventually, he looked over, meeting your gaze. 

You started to open your mouth to speak, but Polnareff cut you off, “Listen (y/n), uh. For the sake of everyone else, we should probably forget what I just did…” he said, rubbing the back of his neck. 

Huh?

Wait, what? He couldn't just kiss you like that, and then tell you to forget that it happened! For the sake of everyone else? What was that even supposed to mean? Your brow furrowed. “I… guess? What does everyone else have to do with it though?” you asked. 

Well… it probably didn't. It's not like Polnareff expressed any interest in you in the past, so this was probably just an excuse right? Just a heat of the moment thing and nothing more? He just didn't want to hurt your feelings by saying it outright. That was fine with you. 

He paused for a couple long moments, “If you haven’t figured it out yet, then it’s probably best if you realise on your own.” he said, “Come on, they’re waiting for us.” he said, turning before you could question him any further and walking back towards the building. 

You followed after, but… What exactly was this thing you were supposed to be realising? 

Whatever… you could forget about the kiss. It wasn't like you were on this mission to find love. You were here to whoop some bastards ass, and then return to your everyday life.

But you wondered if you would really be satisfied with just that. This adventure was already more than you ever expected to experience in your life. Would you really be okay with returning to a normal everyday life?
