The air around you immediately cooled, and you almost began shivering at the sudden change. You could now see the stars above..

“Good Grief. It’s finally dark.” said Jotaro, looking out into the sky.

Slowly, you all approached, seeing the large mirror up close. You could now see a man sprawled out on the ground behind it, knocked out cold by the rock that Star Platinum threw.

“It’s a mirror!” Said Joseph, stopping to examine the piece of glass, looking almost impressed. He hadn't realised until now?

“Take a look” said Kakyoin, “Check out the machines behind this mirror. It’s pretty comfortable. It even has air conditioning!”

“Man, I didn't realize he was reflecting the desert landscape and tailing us from behind.” Polnareff said, laughing loudly,

“He has a tank of water.” said Jotaro, “we’ll gladly take that.”

“Ah, a drink!” Polnareff said, seeing one sitting on the little table that was set up there. He took it, starting to drink from it.

“Don’t drink that, Pol! It’s gross-” you protested, trying to take it.

“No! I’m thirsty, and it's perfectly fine! He barely drank any.” Polnareff said, holding it out of your reach.

“It’s got germs!” you protested, straining to reach it, your chest bumping his as you reached up for it.

“It’s no use, (Y/N), he’s too stubborn. Just let him drink it.” said Joseph.

You frowned. He was probably right. You stepped away from Polnareff, but not before seeing how pink his cheeks were. Probably still from the heat, right?

There was a silence, before Jotaro suddenly spoke up. “The Sun cards Stand, huh? It was quite the opponent, but once you figure it out, it’s pretty stupid.”

“Let’s hurry to our next location.” said Kakyoin, spreading out his arms. “It’s quite chilly in the desert, isn’t it?”

“Wait a second! Traveling at night is dangerous!” Protested Joseph. “Now we might get lost!”

“We defeated our enemy, so we can have sweet dreams tonight.” Polnareff said, laughing.

“So it's decided then, we’re setting up camp here?” Asked kakyoin.

Joseph nodded, going over to one of the three remaining camels, who had since gotten up, starting to unpack the tents. Jotaro came over to help.



    After about half an hour, there were two little tents set up. Everyone got a chance to drink and eat before it was time to settle down. You let out a quiet breath. Looks like you’d be sharing with at least one other person, right? You wondered who would go with who.

“Oy, Mr. Joestar, didn't we pack more tents than this?” Asked Polnareff, looking at the set-up. Whoever got stuck in a tent with three people was going to be majorly cramped.

“The camel that got killed was carrying the other tents.” Said Joseph. “So they were burnt up. We’ll draw straws for who stays in each tent.” he said.

Soon, everyone gathered around. The straws were drawn, leaving the group in half. Jotaro and Joseph were in one tent, which left Polnareff, Kakyoin, and you in the other tent. You were slightly annoyed at being put in a small tent with two other people, but it wasn't like you had any other option unless you wanted to sleep outside by yourself.

Polnareff and Kakyoin went ahead to the tent you would be sharing, and you trailed after once you said goodnight to both Jotaro and Joseph.

You stepped inside the tent, seeing Polnareff had chosen the right bed, and Kakyoin chose the left bed… which meant you were going to be crushed between them….

You sighed. Why did it seem like you were always forced to be in the middle?

You removed your shoes, settling down onto the ground. The beds were basically just a simple bedroll on the floor of the tent, but they were so close together, the three of you might as well be sleeping in one bed. You let out a soft sigh and looked over at Kakyoin. You remembered the earlier attack when you saw blood on his clothing. “You got hit by The Suns attack, right? Do you want me to take a look?” you asked, looking over at him worriedly.

“Thank you, (Y/N), but I’m fine. It was just a couple scratches, so I’m fine now.” he said with a smile, taking off his jacket and setting it aside, laying down in his bed.

“You can take a look at me.” said Polnareff, grinning at you. “I didn't get hit, but I wouldn't mind getting examined anyway.”

“Yeah, okay.” you said, rolling your eyes. You couldn't help but smile though as you settled down into your bed, pulling the covers around yourself and closing your eyes. “Goodnight, Polnareff, Kakyoin.” you said,

“Goodnight, (Y/N)” Said Kakyoin.

“Goodnight, mon amour.” Said Polnareff.

You slowly drifted off without a second thought.
