"Tokyo"

"Hong Kong"

"Singapore..."

"So the Indian leg of our journey is finally upon us, but, well im a bit worried" Joesph said in distress. Since the moment you and Jotaro shared in the hotel room, he hasn't let you leave his side, "Oi what are you on about old man."

"I mean is there anywhere to get a cheese burger there? I've always heard India is the land of curry disease, too many people"

You couldn't believe what just left the old man's mouth,"I guess you can take the man out of America, but can't take the America out of the man" a simple shrug was all you offered to your response.

Joesph laughed and made his way to you, getting his fist to rub against your hair, "Once a New Yorker! Always a New Yorker!!!"

After some tussling between grandson and grandfather, Jotaro was able to break you free from the old man's grasp.
—————————-

Car horns were blaring, you swear it could've been mistaken as the purge alarm.

As the 6 of you flooded the streets you guys quickly realized there was no space to move. Bodies upon bodies were smushed together as people were trying to promote business. Polnareff was being harassed by people wanting his stuff, kakyoin was being harassed by people wanting to mark his body with tattoos, you were even being catcalled here and there.

Jotaro opened up his long jacket and placed you in it. He was not being generous with space, but you guys couldn't afford that luxury. You were overwhelmed with the screaming and bargaining, everywhere you looked there was no space to breathe.

Calcutta India, 20th century population 11 million!

All the grown men around you were gasping for air, "Awh man someone stole my wallet!" Kakyoin was defeated, "my mother bought me that!"

As you hid inside the big coat, children were lifting their hands to Jotaro, "tip! Tip!" These little kids were asking for money, "if you don't give me a tip, you won't go to heaven sir!"

This didn't fail to make you laugh. Unlike you though, Jotaro was agitated and it wasn't long before-"HEY KID DONT PUT YOUR NOSE ONTO MY STUFF!" Polanreffs voice reached miles with that yell.  Avdol and Joseph were yelling back and fourth how great India was, but only Avdol thought that.

Finally after pushing through bodies, you guys found shelter in a restaurant. All of the crusaders thankfully admired the peace and quiet.

Avdol scoffed at Joesphs attitude, "You just need to be patient with India. Once you get used to it, you will see how wonderful this country truly is."

Avdols wisdom and view of life always made you smile, the positivity he has never fails to make dull moments brighter, "Yknow I kind of like this place, it's pretty cool." Seemed like Avdols energy rubbed off a bit. Looking at Jotaro you could see him smiling while the words left his mouth. You couldn't help but stare at his face, hyper-focusing on every little detail.

Joesph spit out his chai, "WHAT JOTARO! YOU CAN- NOT BE SERIOUS!"

Kakyoin kicked your leg under the table causing your head to spit up at him. As you watched his face, he twirled his finger to the side of his head to imply Joseph was being crazy. Laughing lowly, Polnareff had spoken up, "A bit of a culture shock but I'll get used to it I guess, where's the john?"

After babbling a bit about his elegance and worth as a French man, Kakyoin was put in charge to order him food while he went to the restroom. As you flipped through the menu, you felt weight on your right hand. Underneath the table Jotaro held your hand with his left, rubbing his thumb around yours in a circular motion. You couldn't help but smile to yourself.
