-Across America- Diego Brando x reader

~45~

I hate AU Diego, but goddamn, he gorgeous af.

"It's all done, Y/N." He served two plates on the table. "Hm?" I opened my eyes. He had tried to make some type of spaghetti, seemed to be bolognese.
He took off his apron and sat next to me. "So? does it look good?" He asked. "Looks pretty darn delicious. Also smells real nice." I sniffed it. I got one fork and rolled it. I put it in my mouth. It was actually good, unexpectedly. "It's bussin.." I said with full mouth, content with what life had offered me right in that moment. "What? Do you not like it?" He looked confused. "It means it tastes really good, like delicious, but it's even better." I chuckled. "I see, I'm glad that you let me learn new things now and then." He tried them too. "It's really nothing, those words are of no use to you anyway.." It's true that he was just trying to understand me better, but rather than that this knowledge was useless. " Maybe I'm trying to get a better understanding of the things in your world since I would like to see it for myself some day. Also those spaghetti are indeed very bussin." I immediately knew what he meant. "Do you really.. want to come?" I looked down to my plate. I felt sad, he would forget.. everything. How we met, the time we drank whiskey in that tavern, all the fun memories when we were traveling together, our first kiss.. Even this, he will forget it all. "Y/n.." He suddenly held my chin to his face. "I'm in love. What will be the point of living if you're gone? My unending seek of revenge? You made me realize there is no point in it.. Even if I killed those that I despise, will that bring any good to me? Trust me, I've been thinking about it ever since you told me. I've come to the conclusion that these memories, they are unnecessary. It's true, I'll probably forget about all this, the race and everything. It will be for the best, though. This cycle of everlasting hatred will be over, I'll finally be able to be at peace, with you." He went in for a kiss, but I pushed him back. "You won't remember any of the memories we made here, what if you lose interest? Even if I bring you back, you will have no place to return to, you won't have anything here." I told him. "..We'll make new memories, I can't understand what you're trying to say." He sighed. "It won't be the same.. you won't be the same person." I finally made up the courage to say it. "So what am I supposed to do then? Tell me, I'm sacrificing everything for you and you still insist that this option isn't good. Whatever, I won't argue with you, this is my final decision." He stated. "You don't get it.. I'm just worried." I finished with my spaghetti. I suddenly felt sick. "It's all gonna be fi-" "I'm feeling kind of dizzy-" I said to Diego. I felt like throwing up. "What? Do you want water?" He seemed confused. "Fuck-" I immediately got off the table and ran to the bathroom. I vomited in the toilet. "What the hell-? Was my food that bad?" He said from behind. "No.. it was really good.." I was still feeling off. "Then it must be food poisoning. Damn it. I might throw up too now, but I feel fine." He sighed. "It must be because of your stan-" "Shut, we're not alone here." He closed my mouth before I said something. "My bad.. these guys do look suspicious, should we move out and rent a hotel room on our own?" I suggested. "There's no need, we can try to do something before they do.." He said. I got what he was saying. "You mean.. kill them?" I whispered. "..Would be the best option, but let's see and wait for now, we could try and avoid murder." He helped me get up.
I washed my mouth on the sink. "That was awful.." I thought to myself.

We went to the living room and sat 5 meters away from them..

"The plan is- We go there and just sit and observe what they are doing, but we make it obvious that we're watching them. This will definitely irritate them and they'll make a move. They don't look very smart either.."

I had that all in mind. It looked like they were just looking out the window. The one on the right was playing with a deck of cards. He was just looking through them over and over. He was bald and had on a simple cap, his outfit had spikes and he wore something like a corset. I made sure I was staring right into his soul. He noticed and he made eye contact, but right after he looked away. "Tch." He bit his tongue. I continued staring. He glanced to make sure if I was still at it. "The hell you staring at, bitch? You wanna get screwed again or something?" He finally cracked. "I was actually looking at the clock right there. Why should I stare at such an unpleasant sight like you. Please." I pointed to the wall behind him. There actually was a clock right above the guy. "Don't fuck around! You're clearly staring at me?" He stood up. "Kalio, sit back down, maybe she just can't see." The other male tried to calm him down. "Can't see, my ass! Can't you see they are both looking at us, big bro?" He shouted. I saw Diego staying there, unphased. "You may be right. But there's no point in getting mad-" "If you both calmly went to your assigned room then you won't be stared at." Diego calmly stated. "You, Diego Brando, shouldn't be the one talking. You're working for the president, haven't you realized we're from the mafia?" The older one said. "One wrong move and you both are done for, we are not after your eye, but we may take it if given the opportunity. Your stand is useless against us. And why are you keeping that girl with you? Such fool, led by his sexual desires." He said it all, straight to the point. It kind of hurt. "This girl.. Looks like you both have no idea what bad of a situation you've walked into." Diego told them sternly. They didn't know I was a stand user.. so no one did. "So do you want to settle this then?" They took the bait. ".." Suddenly there was a movement, Diego jumped to attack him. "Now!" The guy named Kalio shouted. Diego suddenly fell.. on the ceiling. "The hell?!" I was shocked. It all happened too fast. His stand withdrew back into him. "Not so fast, are you." The other male said. Dio was locked up on the ceiling. "Ugh, I can't move, Y/N!" He screamed at me. I noticed that they were glaring at me. I quickly teleported away to Diego. I tried pulling him down, but it wasn't working out. "She's trying to get him off! Too bad!" Kalio cackled. "Leave me, try to kill them. Will you be able to do that?" Diego questioned with a soft tone. "Huh-?"   "So you had a stand too?!" One of them got close to me. I was suddenly sent to the wall, just like how Diego fell upwards. "It seems like this guy's stand is to change gravity.. it's strong, it must be close ranged." I hurt my back very bad. "B2T!" I teleported again to the kitchen. "Goddamn it! My stand is close ranged too.. If I get too close I'll be just sent away! I gotta try doing an indirect attack.." I tried thinking. I grabbed a knife and teleported back to them.
"What the hell is that now?! You can disappear and reappear??" He gritted his teeth. I wanted this to be over, I had the courage to kill them.
I made B2T throw the knife at him. "Nightwind." The older one spoke. The knife went flying and stabbed Diego's shoulder. "Agh!" He screamed. "Wind..?" It was 1v2, but I had to win, otherwise Diego could be killed together with me. "You guys are boring.. You could pull off something better." I thought of something else. I quickly teleported behind the Kalio guy and tried making a hole through his back. As I was about to strike, the other one blew me away with cold strong wind. "Fuck.. I can't win like that... I have to try to separate them." I was getting pissed off. "Diego! I'll go get Johnny and Gyro to help!" I yelled.I had an Idea in mind.. "Ugh! We can't let her escape! I'll go after her!" The older one followed me. "Perfect.." I whispered.
I went outside in the snow. Once I was about 100 meters away I looked back. He was approaching me. "I'm sorry." I teleported in front of him and punched him in the face. "ORA!" he fell down to the ground. "Agh- Stop, we didn't intend to ki-" I didn't give him time and immediately started punching again. "OraoraoraoraoraORA!" I dealt one last blow to his head. "That's for being annoying as fuck. But I can't just let you live.. unfortunately." I sighed. "Born to Die, teleport him to the bottom of this frozen lake." I ordered. "So cruel.." B2T said before taking him away. I immediately ran back inside the house.
"You! Where are your comrades huh?" He laughed. "I don't know, but your brother is swimming with the fish right now." I teleported. "I won't kill you, but you'll leave just now, and be sure to never come back." I said from behind, with my hand to his throat, ready to kill him. He gulped and nodded. "Now release Diego." I kicked him.
He did as I said. Diego took out the knife. There was a lot of blood. "What are you doing here? Go away." Dio told him. ".. You won't make it very far, I can tell you that." He opened the door. "You'll be betrayed." And like that he left.
"Goddamn- So they really were planning on killing us." I sighed nervously. "Did you really kill that guy?" He ignored me. "Yeah-?" I answered. "That's so not like you, you wouldn't have killed him." He got up and began walking down the corridor to our room. "Wait what do you mean? Diego.." He closed the door behind him. "What is happening? I'm pretty sure I did the right thing, he was going to die if I didn't do that. Maybe he's tired.." I was confused. I decided to let him be alone and laid on the couch. It was comfortable, I slowly drifted off to sleep..

I hope you like those stand battles. I also fell into depression while thinking of ways to end this story. Oh and I can't keep up w my schedule 😭 bro is falling apart
