I'm.. back🫡

Few hours later
I woke up to Y/N hugging me. I was going to fall of the bed since she had taken almost all of the bed for herself. "Gah, don't do that.." I gently pushed her away. Her hair was all over her face, she looked cute. (Ignore that if you have really short hair.) I got up and stretched. I looked at my watch. It was already 6pm. I took a look through the windows. The sun had been already overtaken by the moon. I sighed, not knowing what to do. "We slept for about 3 hours.. I don't think I'll be able to go to bed any time soon." I then felt my stomach growling. I knew it was time to eat. As time passed, I slowly started noticing that my stand made me immune to feeling hungry. So I had to take notes of what I had eaten during the day so I don't expose my body to hunger. "Yeah.. some Italian biscuits weren't enough." I thought to myself. My stand power.. it was making changes to my body all the time. My posture has always been kind of bad, since all the horseback riding I did from an early age.. However, I've taken a notice that it had gotten even worse. I never cared about how I looked, really.. Although I was afraid that it might get even more serious over time. There was more to it, like the skin on my hands becoming quite hard and etc. but those did not concern me that much.
"I should wake up Y/N, she won't be able to sleep at all later." I turned back and saw her comfortably snuggling into my pillow.. "Hey, wake up, it's time." I gently shook her. "Mm.. I don't want to go back.. Please.." She turned away while muttering some words. "Just a little more.." Her expression looked sad. She appeared to be having a bad dream. I got on top of her. "Y/nn.." I continued trying to wake her up. "Huh-?" She opened her eyes. "Diego?" She looked confused, like she was still in her dream. "Yes, that's me. Happy to see me? Were you having a nightmare?" I asked. "Hmm, no. I never have those since I'm not afraid of anything." She crossed her hands. "Also, get off me, perv." Y/N said, rolling her eyes. "Why so angry~?" I leaned and kissed her. "I just remembered how you let those women crawl over you. Were you always such a fuck boy?" She was.. really irritated. "Woah, that hurt. You know you're the only one, don't do me like that. I love only you, you know that. Although, you are still mad at me." I told her, I just didn't get why she had to be so moody. "..Fine. Now I want more kisses." She stated, finally calming down. "Of course." I began giving her butterfly kisses all over her face. She chuckled. "Hey-! That's enough!" She pushed me away, returning back one kiss on my lips. "You never specified how many you wanted." I smiled. "You just never know when to stop." She murmured, blushing. "True, now let's get up. We can't stay in bed forever."

"Damn, I'm hungry." She groaned out while sitting on the edge of the mattress. "Me too," I replied "I was wondering if you wanted to go out and eat something." I requested. I knew that there were some good restaurants near the lake. "Mm, sure. Are we going for a formal, or casual look?" She asked. "Something fancy and cozy, like you usually do." I wanted to see what she would wear for a night out in Chicago. I admit, her fashion choices always fascinated me..
She got her some clothes out of her bag and went in the bathroom to change. I was still wondering what I should wear.
Then Y/N got out and showed off her outfit. "Here I amm." She said with a cheerful smile. She looked... weird, but in a pleasant way. It was beautiful. She wore little white skirt with a white fur top and a little tie, also wearing matching white fur boots with a little hat. "You look awesome. I love it" (Imagine Y/N wearing some y2k winter fit) "Thanks, have you decided on your attire?" She came to me. "Not really." I stated, not hiding the fact that I had no idea what to wear. "Want me to help you?" She asked. "Sure." I told her.
She went through my clothes seeing what I had. "Soo, I see you have the same pants you usually wear.. but in black. So creative, Diego." She mocked me. "I do like how they look on you, so maybe those." She put them aside. "Since I'm not dressed formal, you won't be too." She was now searching for a top. "You sure do love turtle necks.. But a shirt would be fine." She got out a black one. "And also this black tie, so we can match." Y/N got out one of my belts too. "Okay, you can change now." She gave everything to me. "Alright, thank you." I thanked her.
I placed the clothes on the table and put on the shirt. I then started unbuttoning the belt on my pants. "Uhm, I'm here." Y/N said behind me on the bed. "Oh, hi there." I continued taking off my pants. I had to normalize taking off our clothes in front of each other. I turned around. She was looking at me. "What?" I let my pants fall on the floor. "Nothing.." She looked away, blushing. "It's okay, you can look, I don't mind. You've seen me naked before, and so have I." I buttoned up my shirt. "No, don't do it like that. Leave the other ones unbuttoned." She got up and came to me to help. She began adjusting it. I didn't think she would do that while I had no pants on.
She left only one button attached. Then I got in my black pair pants. I put my belt and tie on and I was done.
"You look good." She approved and got something out of her small pack. It was a golden necklace with a cross. "Have this, it would fit well." She gave it to me. "Are you religious?" I asked, observing it. "No, I just like the way it looks." She helped me get it on. "I see, me too actually." I guess it was kind of obvious.
"Perfect, we both look so cutee." Y/N dragged me in front of the mirror. "This feels new to me, but I like it." I expressed my opinion. "Right, you look nice though!" She said, clinging to my arm...

We got out of the hotel and paparazzi were running to us immediately. "Y/N and Diego, out together!" "Where are you headed to?" "Y/N, what's your fashion inspiration?" "Where do you get your clothes from!?" "Having similar attires!" "Probably trying to popularize matching clothes." All of them started asking questions, it seriously annoyed me. "Can you move aside? We are in a hurry." I told them all to back off. "Do I need to say this twice!" I raised my voice. They all went silent for a moment and then stepped aside. "Goddamn it." I just couldn't have a good time without them always being money thirsty. As I looked forward, I saw Hot Pants staring at us. She had a stern look on her face. As soon as she saw that I noticed her, she immediately looked at another direction and walked away. "What does she want now.. Weird."

"Do you know where we are going?" Y/N questioned. "Yes, there's a nice place that I know of." I told her. "Do you want me to teleport us? If you know the exact location that is." She requested. "Yes.. The lakefront trail would be good enough." I couldn't really give her more accurate location. She called out her stand and right away, we were just right by the lake. "I'm always fascinated by how your stand works.. Time saving and efficient." I held her hand. "Yup, thanks." She intertwined her fingers with mine. We still had some walking to do.
"Remember how we met?" I asked. "Of course I do. It's quite funny actually." She chuckled. "It is. It's just that back then you picked my interest, not like romantically, just pure curiosity. I didn't know how to approach you." I felt embarrassed thinking about it. "Wow, that's okay. Also that time we traveled together in the desert-" She mentioned that too. "Oh yeah, it was fun to make you mad all the time. And oh god Y/N. The night you were drunk, you beat Gyro up pretty good. I was surprised that you had that much strength in you." I had completely forgotten about it.. "He was just weak. Also, I really enjoyed sleeping with you that night." She laughed. "You were so drunk, I even got worried, kind of. Do you even remember?" It was a total nightmare. "For real, and after this, in that mountain village. Back then I was so scared of you, I'll admit. " she looked away. "Yeah, sorry about that, I sort of took you with me without your consent, which I don't regret at all." Not exactly 'take' but more than 'kidnap' but that wasn't important. "Hah, yes. WAIT, remember when you let me ride your dino form? It was so funn." She got excited, "I can let you do that again, even with something else." I used the opportunity to spice up the conversation. "Oh god, horny. I won't mind though." She giggled. "Anyways, we're here." I pointed to a restaurant I once visited some years ago. "Oh wow, it looks nice!" She exclaimed. It was a lake restaurant. It had a wooden platform above the water and right on it were placed the restaurant tables. It looked quite lovely with all the lights and decorations. "But, Diego.. There are a lot of people here, will we be able to find a table for us?" She asked unsure, holding my hand tight. "That's not a problem. The staff will make space for us. Let's go."
We walked up to the entrance, the waiters at the front gate welcomed us with excitement. Everyone knew who we were after all..
"Good evening," They bowed. "Would you like a table?" One of them asked. "Yes, a table for two." I told them. They looked at me and then whispered something to each other and nodded. "Please follow us."
They opened the gates. There was a big garden right in front of the restaurant. It was pretty. We walked in the restaurant and they guided us to a small table right next to the railing, giving us a great view of the frozen lake.
We sat down together. Y/N sighed. "It's so nice in here.." She smiled. "Yeah, right. Even tho, all I want to admire this night, is you." I tried making a compliment, or something like that. "Really? You're free to do so. I'm all yours, you know." The look in her eyes.. It made me happy.
"So what are we eating?" She picked up a menu. "Let's order some wine first, then vodka." I answered, I kind of wanted to get drunk. "Hmm, sure." She lightly smiled.
When the waitress came, we decided
to eat some spaghetti. We told them our order and began waiting.
"Soo.. anything you want to talk about?" She asked while sipping on wine. "..Actually, yes." I said with a serious tone. The truth is, I had been thinking about her "strange" appearance in the start of the Steel Ball Run race. It just seems.. off. "Well, I've been wondering about the first time you showed up to the race. It's just too weird. A name no one knows, with a stolen horse somehow wins almost all of the stages. So how can you be so 'unknown'." I told her. She seem confused by what I meant. "Looks like you don't quite get it, Y/N. I've heard people talking that you appeared out of no where and saw you passed out on the ground. Also, all your weird behavior, clothing and new words are just out of place. It's just like.. You don't really belong here." She immediately realized what I meant by the last sentence. She was silent. That just proved my point further. "So, am I wrong?" ..

Hiii, nothing to say.. Have a great day!
