(Jojo / Jjba X Reader) A 7TH Stand User Joins The Party

Chapter 75

    Later that afternoon, you finally met up with Jotaro and Polnareff again, and the six of you went to a local restaurant to eat. You had Avdol recommend you something good, and you immediately began to eat when the food was set in front of you. It was delicious, as was anything Avdol had ever recommended you to eat.

As everyone finished, Joseph spoke up, “Finally, a moment to relax..”

“Quite the late breakfast if you ask me.” Avdol said, leaning back in his chair, his arms crossed.

“Yeah..” Polnareff said, letting out a sigh, leaning his face into his hand.

“We’re almost to Cairo.” Joseph said, holding out his hand to Avdol, “We’ve got to figure out where Dio is hiding.”

Avdol pulled a camera from his robes, handing it over to Joseph.

Polnareff leaned forward, grinning, “oh? You’re going to use your stand?”

“Is it going to work?” Jotaro asked, frowning down at the camera.

“I don't know,” Said Joseph, “But we’re close, so the results should be more precise.”

You leaned in a bit, excited to see Joseph's stand in action. You had only seen him using his Stand on a TV in the past.

Joseph set the camera on the table, “All right, here we go!” He yelled, raising his arm. Electricity crackled around Joseph's arm, and he slammed his fist into the camera on the table, smashing it.

A moment later, a photograph popped out of the broken pile of pieces, and Joseph picked it up, waiting for it to develop.

“Well?” you asked, feeling the tension at the table rising.

“I’m not sure yet.” Joseph muttered, squinting at the photo, “I can see something, but…” He suddenly jolted, eyes going wide, “There!” He slammed the photo down on the table.

You quickly leaned in to look, the image of a terracotta building slowly coming into view. There was a large cylindrical tower, and vegetation scattered about. There was a large fence surrounding a good amount of the building, obscuring much of it from view.

So. This was your final destination.

    The rest of your time there passed by in a blur, and soon you were back on your way again, heading for Cairo.

The six of you boarded a train for the last leg of the journey, it was about a ten hour train ride, so you finally had a moment to sleep.

There was luckily a room on the train that had enough bunks available for everyone. It was always a little nerve wracking when everyone got split up.

You entered the room, immediately collapsing down on the nearest bunk and letting out a loud sigh.

“Tired, (Y/N)?” Polnareff asked, putting his things down on the bunk above yours, then giving a stretch.

“Mm, yeah.” you muttered, rolling over onto your side, gazing up at him sleepily. “I’m gonna sleep for a while…”

“Got it, mon amour. I’ll wake you if anything happens.” he said.

“Mh, thanks, Pol.” you said, closing your eyes and slowly drifting off to sleep.

    When you woke up again, the whole roomette was bathed in inky black. The train moved along the tracks, but it was peaceful, almost enough to lull you back to sleep. You squinted at your watch, finding that it was about midnight. Well. That’s what you get for going to bed so early.

You slowly sat up, giving a soft yawn and rubbing the sleep from your eyes. You looked around. Everyone seemed to be in their bunk, except…

Jotaro. His bunk was empty.

Your brow furrowed, anxiety blooming painfully in your chest. Where did he go?

You got up, going to the door and quietly opening it, peeking out into the hallway. A ways down, you could see the door to the caboose. Through the window, you could see a figure standing there, and the faint glow of a cigarette.

That had to be him.

You breathed a sigh of relief and walked down the hall, opening the door that led outside to the caboose's small railed platform.

“You’re up late.” you said, giving Jotaro a soft smile. You leaned against the railing on the other side of the platform, looking out at the passing scenery.

He didn't respond, but acknowledged you with a nod of his head.

There was silence between you for a couple of minutes before Jotaro fixed a sharp gaze upon you. You felt it before you saw it, slowly looking over to meet his icy gaze.

“What?”

“So you’re planning on going to France after this?” He asked, blowing smoke out of the corner of his mouth.

You purse your lips, wincing softly. So he heard that conversation after all, “Well. I haven't given Polnareff an answer yet, but… Probably.” you answered honestly, crossing your arms over your chest.

Jotaro did not respond at first, seeming to be thinking about what you said. But finally he spoke, “... When we return to Japan, I’ll have to finish high school. Then I’m planning on going to college.” He said, looking at you.

“College, huh?” you said, trying to prompt him to keep talking, “anything in mind for that?”

“Marine Biology.” Jotaro said, closing his eyes, “I’ll be out on the ocean often after that. Lots of field research.” He said.

“That sounds interesting.” you said with a smile, “and being out on the ocean is really cool.”

“You could come with me.”

“Huh?” you asked, unsure if you misheard him.

“Come with me.” Jotaro said, looking into your eyes. He stepped closer, until there was only a couple of inches between the two of you.

Your breath hitched softly, “are you being serious right now?” you asked, studying his face, “What am I supposed to do while I’m waiting for you to be done with school?” you asked.

“The speedwagon Association will hire you.” Jotaro answered without hesitation. Seems like he had thought about this, “I talked to the old man about it.”

You swallowed hard, meeting his gaze. “I..”

“You can give me your answer after we defeat Dio.” Jotaro cut you off before you could finish what you were going to say. “Just think about it.”

You nodded, swallowing hard. “Okay.”

Before you could realize what was happening, Jotaros face was obscuring your vision. He tilted up your chin with one hand, kissing you gently.

Your heart pounded in your chest. You could taste the cigarette on his lips. They were slightly chapped, but moved sweetly against your own. You reached out, bracing one hand against his muscled chest.

“Jotaro..” you muttered, slowly pulling away. You looked up, meeting his intense gaze. Before you could say anything, he pulled you against him, and kissed you again. One of Jotaros hands cupped the back of your neck, the other holding the small of your back.

You could help but melt against his broad chest, letting out a soft whimper as you kissed him, tasting the smoke on his breath. You leaned into the kiss, wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling him down closer, lifting up on tiptoes to reach.

It was several long moments later when the two of you parted again. You were breathing hard, and Jotaros face was bright red. You pulled away, unsure if you should say anything.

“Jotaro..”

“We should head back before anyone else wakes up.” Jotaro said, putting out the cigarette before heading back inside.
