Dio x Reader "Am I in Love?"

Chapter 6: A Real Friendship

I've been starting to spend more and more time with Dio when I make my deliveries. I haven't seen Jonathan once in over 3 months now. I hate to admit this, but I think Dio was right about Jonathan. Dio is oddly so nice to me compared to any else. I've seen him snap at people before for pissing him off but when I accidentally do, he just gives me an eye roll and carries on to the next thing as if it never happened. It's as if I could never make this man mad at me.

Does he actually care about me or is he using me for some sick plan? I came across another problem, I'm slowly starting to fall for him. He's so handsome with those red eyes and fluffy blonde hair, so nice to me, like a perfect boyfrie- I mean friend. 'Geez (y/n) get these thoughts out of your head' I mentally said to myself.

~Dios' POV~
'My plan at first was to only use her to upset Jonathan, but I've became too attached to her. I could never bring myself to make her upset. Ugh, why do I feel this way? Is this what they call love? Am I falling for a farm girl? She's the only girl who isn't afraid of me, and it feels like the only person I've meet that genuinely cares about me. I always feel this need to protect her, make sure she's happy, that sweet smile of hers, I love seeing it. What have you done Dio, you've fallen for a damn farm girl. I highly doubt she likes me in the romantic way anyways, how unfortunate' I thought to myself.

I took notice of a rather large cut on the side of her right forearm. I can tell it happened not too long ago. 'Did someone hurt my (y/n)? I- I mean friend. Dammit Dio you're doing it again.' I slightly grabbed her arm making sure not to hurt her and looked at it, now angered at the possibility that someone attacked her. "(Y/n), what happened to your arm? You need to get that cleaned and wrapped right away" I said with slight worry in my tone. "O- Oh it's nothing, accidentally dropped the crate and it scrapped across my arm in the kitchen" I could hear the nervousness in her voice.

"I know you're lying to me, please tell me the truth" I said looking at her. "I am Dio, no need to worry". She's definitely lying, I don't know why she would. "(Y/n) I know you're lying to me. The cut is on your right arm, you always carry the crate with your right arm. When you first arrived, I took notice of you carrying it on the left walking to the kitchen, which you never do. So please be honest..." I saw her look down.

"I- well- um- just don't be mad, okay? About halfway here, I was attacked by some man trying to steal the crate and my money. You know me, I don't take shit from anyone and I don't go down without a fight. I went to go deck him in the face, but he pulled out a pocketknife going straight for my throat. I managed to be fast enough to avoid it by blocking with my right arm. Before I could do anything else, he ran off since there were a few boys walking down a hill. But it's fine, it doesn't hurt at all, nothing major" she said like it was no big deal. I was beyond pissed on the inside, I wanted to brutally murder this man, I want to see him suffer for what he did to her. I tried to hide my anger, but I just couldn't. "How could someone hurt an innocent girl over some damn berries." I said in an angered whisper, shit did I say that out loud.

~(Y/N's) POV~
I was shocked, he actually takes notice of how I do things? He actually... cares? I- dammit I love this man. I had a light blush across my face. "Well Dio, I'm not as innocent as you think" I chuckled "I've had my fair share of fights, and a fair share of them not going home" I said, almost as if I was proud of it?

'Oh shit did I just admit to him that I've killed people before in fights, shit shit shit, he's gonna think I'm crazy and not want to be my friend anymore. Especially since I said it like that, oh geez' I said to myself. I looked at him and he had a slight shocked look on his face. I became extremely nervous waiting for him to not want to be my friend anymore. He chuckled, "Well the difference between you and I is that I make sure they don't go home" he said mimicking my previous proud time.

~Dios' POV~
I was beyond shocked, I could never see this girl as being a killer. 'I know she's tough and can knock someone out, but never would I have thought she could bring herself to end someone. She's too kind and sweet. Maybe I really don't know everything about her, well I guess I wouldn't admit I've ended lives to someone I just met. Maybe we do have way more in common than I thought.' I thought to myself. "Well I think we should get that cut all cleaned up. Here, I'll lead you to the bathroom" I said.
