    Joseph and the Pilot slowly unloaded everything from the plane. It was new clothes, food, and water for the crusaders.

From this point, you still had to travel over the rest of the desert to make it to your next destination. Egypt wasn’t a small country, so despite the fact that you had reached it, you still had the long journey of finding where Dio was actually hiding.

“Oy, (Y/N), can you give me a hand over here?” Joseph said, calling for you. When you looked over, you saw him holding a new mechanical hand.

You approached, and he handed you the new hand, when he removed his glove, you saw that his current metal hand was practically crushed, “Joseph… What happened?” you asked as he carefully began undoing it.

“An enemy Stand user, what else?” he told you, tone playful, “I wasn’t hurt during it, just the hand, so really I can’t complain.” He said, handing you the broken hand, and taking the new one.

“Yeah, but…” well, really, he was right. How many times had Joseph come close to death? Probably more times than he would ever admit to you. You wondered how a man who saw so much death and destruction, so much sorrow, could still keep up such a happy and childlike attitude.

“Hey, (Y/N), are you okay?” A gentle hand touched your shoulder,

You jolted, and you looked up at Joseph again. “Yeah, sorry, I was just thinking..” you mumbled, your cheeks going a little red.

“Thinking? What about?” asked Joseph, smirking a little, “maybe about a dashing old man with a metal hand…?” he asked.

“Hm… actually, yes.” you said, chuckling a little.

“Oho, is that so?” He asked, brows raised, “Good things, I hope?”

“Always.” You said, giving him a cheeky grin. 

At that point, you were interrupted by the pilot walking up, “Mr. Joestar, We brought you a new camera for taking spirit photos.”

“Tv’s don't work so great for spirit photography, so this is a big help.” Joseph said with a smile, taking the camera from the man.

He looked over it for a moment, before his eyes suddenly lit up, grabbing you around the shoulders and leaning in, pressing his cheek against yours. He raised the camera up, facing it towards the both of you, “Say cheese!”

You barely managed a smile before he snapped the shutter, pulling away and grabbing the photo, shaking it a couple times and looking at it. “Stunning as usual, (Y/N)...” He said, handing you the photo.

You flushed, looking down at yourself in the photo. You… looked the same as you always did. Joseph was the attractive one here….

“Hey, actually…” Joseph turned, gesturing for the other crusaders, “While we still have film, let's take a photo together!”

Everyone made their way over, and Joseph handed the camera back to the Pilot, “could you take this for us?

The pilot nodded, and everyone gathered in one spot. Joseph and Polnareff sat in the front, and Jotaro, Kakyoin, and Avdol stood in the back. You were standing between Jotaro and Kakyoin, smiling and flashing a peace sign.

It was then that you knew.

You could never go back to a normal life after this. How could you? Going back to a normal school or work day? After weeks of adventure… Would everyone else just go back to a normal everyday life after this? How could they accept something like that so easily..

The pilot snapped the photo, and you were forced back to reality.

After the photo had been developed, you and Jotaro looked down at it together. You might be wrong, but you thought you might have seen him smile.

“It’ll make a good memory.” said Kakyoin, approaching. “We’ll get copies made when we return to Japan.”

“That sounds really good.” you said, smiling at Kakyoin.

“Yeah.” said Jotaro, and he slipped the photo into his pocket.
