-Across America- Diego Brando x reader

~26~

"1.. and GO!" ...
We all started galloping simultaneously. Diego and I were the leading ones. Gyro and Johnny were to our right. Sandman was behind us.
As we left the city all of the racers scattered. "Y/N, we are going left!" Diego shouted out. We were headed to a forest. It was weird because I thought we would be going through the fields. "Diego, why are we going this way? I thought we had already planned it!" I asked him. "It will be fine! I have to meet up with someone." He calmly said. "Meet with someone, who?-" I was confused. I then looked back and saw Sandman running behind us. "Sandman-?!"
After some time of sprinting through the rough forested terrain, we got to a clear opening.
We were slowing down. "We will rest here for a while." Diego stopped.
"I bought some snacks for you, here." He tossed me a bag with some sweets inside. "Oh.. thanks, that's actually so nice of you." I was surprised. It was kind of cute when he did those little things..

After a minute Sandman showed up. I wasn't really feeling safe when he was around. But I knew everything was going to be alright if Diego was with me.
He got closer to us. "I don't trust this guy.." I was worried. I called out my stand just in case. "Y/N, calm down. He has come here to meet me. I won't let him do anything, it's fine." Diego assured me. He seemed to not be.. that bothered by him, but I was still on my guard.
I saw that Sandman noticed my stand. "He is.. a stand user?!" His eyes were on it but he quickly looked back at Diego. "I saw that!!"
"I need to talk to him. Wait for me, I'll be back." Diego got off his horse and walked towards him. "Alright.." I was still feeling very uneasy...

I watched as they went into somewhere, no longer in my sight. All of this was.. bizarre... "Hey, B2T." I said to my stand. "What is it, Y/N?" It looked at me. ".. We haven't talked for a while.. but what do you think about all of this?" I asked. There was a moment of silence. "You are always annoyed when I give you opinion or advice. Why are you asking for it now?" B2T was being cocky again. "Stop complaining. It's.. important." I said with a serious tone. "I guess you can't help but worry about your little boyfriend, can't you? Well, he will be fine, don't worry. He is smart. Though, they are definitely planning something. And the fact that he didn't tell you about all of this makes it so sus. He is always hiding something." B2T sighed. "Yeah, I know right..Also stop using 2020 jokes. It's old fashioned." I was annoyed by it, it was just overused. "You know, few days ago when we arrived at the city, he went somewhere else.. It may be connected with this too." I tried coming up with a better explanation for all of this. "That may be it. Anyways, he is coming back. You should ask him." Born to Die disappeared once again.
Sandman wasn't with him. I looked at him and I could make out the golden "DIO" letters faintly shown on his face. Honestly.. I was so puzzled.
He got on his horse. "Okay, let's go." He started going again. I followed him...

After some hours
The sun was already setting. "Should I ask him right now-?" I wondered. I thought it was a better idea to ask him later...
"Hey Diego, what's the time?" I tried starting a conversation. "It's 6:20.. We gotta camp somewhere. The sun sets in about 10 mins." He stated. "Is there somewhere we can stay at?" I really didn't wanna camp out in an October night in the middle of nowhere. ".. I don't know. Let's ride a little more and see if we can find something." He told me. I agreed and we went on ahead.
After some time going through the fields, we spotted a little hut. We went to check it out.
It seemed like no one was there so it was safe for us to go in. It reminded me of the last time we stayed at that little house next to the lake.
Flashback
There was blood everywhere.. "Diego, did you.. Kill him?-" He was looking away from me, with the blood of the man all over him. He began walking towards me. He had a terrifying look on his face. "..I can explain." ..

"Y/N, are you listening?? Don't make me repeat myself over and over. It's annoying." Diego stood in front of me. "Huh-? What is it Diego?" I got out of my thoughts. "Oh, for real? You weren't listening after all. I was asking if you like it here and want to stay for the night." He looked kind of irritated. "I'm sorry.. And yes, it's better than sleeping in a tent in those cold nights." I looked away to see the sun disappearing behind the endless dry fields. It was early,but the night had already came...
