Chapter 30: Youthful loves.

Cairo, Egypt. January 15th, 1989.

"... and that's how the Nazis woke 100,000-year-old men!"

Laughter echoed through the hotel restaurant. In a very good mood, Joseph was telling everyone about his stories of youth. Between Kakyoin and Polnareff, (Y/N) was listening to him with admiration, almost forgetting to eat the dessert she had on her plate. One hand on the young woman's thigh, the other on Jotaro's thigh, the redhead kept laughing, thrilled. How good it was to be back!

"Say, Kakyoin?" Polnareff began. "Wasn't it too hard to spend the New Year alone?

- I kind of lost track of time with the doctors, actually. But of course I would have preferred to be with you...

- Well, we had fun! Am I right, Avdol?"

He made eyes at the Egyptian who rolled his eyes and pushed his face away. Everyone laughed at Polnareff, who was pretending to be hit right in the heart.

"Ha, enjoy your childhood sweethearts, kids... You'll never know when it's going to end.

- That's very depressing, Mr. Joestar!" Polnareff exclaimed, offended.

"You just killed the mood, old man. You suck.

- Sorry, sorry! Uh... That doesn't mean anything more, look at Suzie Q and me!

- That's it, make up for it now."

They laughed harder. But it was getting late, and the research would have to continue early the next morning. So (Y/N) got up once her dessert was finished. She put a hand on the two teenagers' shoulders who looked up at her before exchanging a look. Joseph refrained from making a comment when he saw them get up in turn, but Polnareff did not hesitate at all.

"Have a good night, huh?"

He was nudged in the ribs by Avdol but was backed up by Joseph who was holding back a chuckle. (Y/N) rolled her eyes. She intertwined her fingers with the boys' before leading them out, waving at their companions as they passed. For Jotaro, this situation was still far too new for him to be comfortable. It would take time, a lot of time. But he didn't have to worry, Noriaki and (Y/N) were determined to put him at ease. He deserved his place just as much as they did. Arriving in their rooms, (Y/N) examined the only double bed and sighed.

"Okay, well, you're going to have to squeeze in there. Hope you don't mind.

- Heh...sandwiches!" Kakyoin exclaimed, an amused smile on his lips.

He grabbed the young woman by the waist to kiss her. She couldn't imagine how happy he was with their reunion. Jotaro stood there looking grim, not knowing what to do.

"Come here," Kakyoin growled at him between two kisses.

He grabbed his hand to pull him to him and kiss him too. Amused, (Y/N) took the opportunity to go to the bathroom. When she got out of the shower a few minutes later, the two teenagers were lying on the bed and the radio was playing Madonna in the background. She stifled a laugh as she realized it was no other song than Like a Virgin.

"The shower is free," she said.

"I'll go!" Kakyoin exclaimed, jumping out of bed.

On the way, he pinched (Y/N)'s ribs and she had to refrain from letting out a little cry of surprise. Then the young woman slid onto the bed where Jotaro was sitting cross-legged. He seemed lost. So she moved against him, as if to ask permission to get into his bubble. He put an arm around her shoulders and she let out a small sigh of relief as she curled up in his arms, against his chest. He took a deep breath, as if trying to cheer himself up, and nuzzled the Italian girl's (H/C) hair, a slight smile on his face.
