Dio Brando x Reader: Promise.

(So uh this is the Dio that's like, 14 years old or something, just lettin ya know.)

"Come on Dio! Get 'em!" the crowd exclaimed. Dio was fighting another person in the arena (?), and he was obviously winning. You just stood on the sidelines watching him fight. 'I bet I could take him on. I mean, he wouldn't hit a friend right?' you thought to yourself. "One! Two! Three! Dio Brando wins again!" the ref (I think that's what they are) called out as he raised Dio's arm in the air to signify his victory. "Now, does anyone else dare to challenge Dio?" the ref asked. No one would step up, they were all too afraid that they might have to go to the hospital or something. You sighed, knowing that you would have to be the one to step up. "I will," you said. Everyone turned to you, looking at you as if you were crazy.

You could hear Dio's confusion as he said, "(Y/n)? You wanna go against me?" You nodded as you grabbed your father's boxing gloves that you took in secret. You started to put them on, thinking of what you were going to do if he agreed to fight you. "Well, it seems as if you're not even giving me a choice, am I right?" he asked. "Yep. I'm interested to see how this'll go down," you said. "Alright! Our new challenger! (Y/n) (L/n)!" the ref said as you walked into the arena. Dio just looked at you. "Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're my friend," he said. You almost shivered at these words. 'He really is going to hit me, isn't he?' you thought to yourself. 

"I have a trick up my sleeve, Dio," you said. He raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And what might that be?" he asked. You smirked. "You c a n ' t h i t g i r l s," you said. Everyone in the crowd started to burst with laughter. Dio only smiled. "Oh (Y/n). Using your strange sense of humor as always," he said. You shrugged. "I tried," you said. "Okay, are both fighters ready?" the ref asked. The two of you nodded, focusing on each other. "Alright then! Let the match begin!" the ref said, quickly running out of the arena. Dio didn't move, but you charged towards him. You tried to land a punch on him, but he dodged it quickly. You knew he would do something like this, so you stuck out your foot, and tripped him. He fell to the ground, letting out a groan. "Oh it's on," he said, he swung a fist at you, and almost hit directly in the face. Instead, you dodged it a bit, and he only hit part of the right side of your face. The two of you kept throwing punches at each other, dodging and not dodging.

~~~

In the end, the ref had to call it a draw, because the two of you had been fighting for such a long time. The two of you got out of the arena, panting and groaning from the pain you were caused. After the crowd had gone, you collapsed onto the ground. Dio lay next to you, still panting. "Good job (Y/n)," Dio said, looking at you. "Thanks. You too," you said. He smiled, which made you smile. "We are never doing that again, okay?" he asked. "Alright, alright," you said. "Shake on it," he said, sticking out his hand. You took his hand in yours, and squeezed it. "Alright then, it's settled," he said. The two of you put your arms down, but Dio didn't let go of your hand. 

"Dio, you're still holding my hand," you said, looking at him. "Yeah I know," he said turning to you. This made your face turn a bit pink. He chuckled. "Even thought we're both pretty beat up, I still had fun doing that," he said. You laughed. "Yeah, I guess it was kinda fun," you said. He shuffled his body closer to yours, and ran his unoccupied hand through your hair. Your face turned even redder than it already was. "Y'know (Y/n), you're really pretty..," he said. "D-Dio.. Don't say things like that, it's embarrassing," you said. "Oh, but it's true. I wish I could tell the whole world," he said. This wasn't like Dio's normal behavior. It was weird, but you kind of liked it. 

He suddenly leaned in and placed a small but quick kiss on your lips. You didn't know how to react. "(Y/n).. I feel different around you than I do everyone else," he said. "I feel... happier." Your eyes widened. "D-Do you really mean that?" you asked. "Of course I do," he said. "You promise?" you asked.

"Promise."
