Liquid Eternity

Chapter Twenty One

Now that you were in Egypt, you had to find some way to civilization.

Which meant trekking across the desert.

Again.

Mr. Joestar had said something about backup, but you were too irritated with Jotaro to ask any more questions.

You walked for about an hour and a half. The heat was intense, and the humidity only made it worse. You were miserable.

While you were walking, Jotaro attempted to approach you.

"Hey, are you okay?" He touched your arm, but you shrugged away from him.

"No."

"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" He tried to check you for injuries, but again you stepped away.

"No, I'm not hurt. Don't touch me."

He sighed, slightly annoyed. "Then what's wrong?"

"Look, I don't think now is a good time to talk about it." You picked up the pace in an attempt to get further away from him.

You couldn't deal with him right now. His stubbornness put the entire group in danger, and now he was trying to act like nothing was wrong? Like, there's clearly something wrong with this situation.

He needs to realize that you can take care of yourself.

"Ah, there they are." Mr. Joestar pointed across the desert at a helicopter and one of those land cruisers full of supplies. The Speedwagon Foundation logo was stamped on almost everything.

Mr. Joestar asked about the backup. The two employees motioned to the back of the helicopter.

"Wait, Mr. Joestar you don't mean..." Avdol started. You realized who he meant.

"Wait, really??"

Mr. Joestar nodded. "Yep."

You threw open the helicopter door. "Iggy, baby!!"

The smelly dog instantly perked up at your voice and jumped into your arms.

"Aww I missed you!! Are you here to help us?" You cooed at him as he munched on your hair.

"A... Dog?" Kakyoin asked Joseph, slightly confused.

"Yep. Avdol, (Y/N), and I got a call about a dog terrorizing New York City. We realized he was a stand user and set about capturing him. Except it took almost three days before (Y/N) broke us down and made us do it her way, which worked, I guess, and now he loves her. Even though he clearly can't stand anyone else."

"(Y/N), How did you get him to like you?" Kakyoin asked you in Japanese.

"I'm nice to him. Plus, look at him!! Isn't he sweet?" You scratched Iggy's ears.

"How can a dog be our backup??" Polnareff shrieked. "I mean, he's disgusting!! Look at him!!"

"Aww, that's not very nice!! Disgusting is a word for something horrifying. Iggy is a stinky little man, but he's my stinky little baby isn't he?" You kissed Iggy's nose, but Iggy was no longer interested in you.

Iggy jumped out of your arms and onto Polnareff's face, where the dog began to gnaw on his hair.

"Get this fucking mutt off me!!" Polnareff cried and tried to pull Iggy off of his face. Iggy responded by ripping ass right on Polnareff's face and going back to you.

"See what happens when you're an asshole, Polnareff?" You laughed and stood up, holding Iggy in your arms.

Everything was sorted with the Speedwagon Foundation, and the group crowded into the land cruiser. Of course, Iggy made everyone sit in the bed of the truck. Well, except you. He enjoyed laying on your lap so he allowed you to sit on the seat and feed him coffee gum. Polnareff was not happy about this, but you decided to ignore him. After all, he made you sit in the bed of the truck a few days ago.
