Hide and Seek (Yandere!Jonathan x Dio)

Chapter 7: The Torment Begins

*sips tea* i hope y'all enjoy this chapter uwu //

Dio woke up the next morning a few days after Jonathan's departure. His head ached terribly as he stretched his tired muscles. The blonde got out of bed and prepared himself for the day ahead, happy that Jonathan has not returned yet.

Walking down the halls, Dio stopped by his step-father's door. 'Ah, the old man is still poorly per usual...Might as well check on him.' He opened the door and walked inside the room to only find the old Joestar lying down.

Shaking his head, Dio walked over to the bed as George turned over to see who entered his room and smiled. "Ah, Dio! How are you feeling my boy?" Dio sighed. "Terrible but should be fine sooner or later." This caused George to frown, guilt flown in his eyes. "Oh...I'm terribly sorry for letting you go alone, my boy. I should have let Jonathan come with you but I never thought through...And now you are suffering because of me-" "Think nothing of it, Father. It was not your fault I was ambushed halfway to London." Dio interrupted George as he grew tired of hearing the same old thing

Sure, everyone was worried when he was returned somehow by a mysterious person. Even though the blonde got fed up hearing all of the pathetic pity from the household, he was generally curious as to who saved him.

If only he was able to find out who got him out of his supposed death, young Brando would have thanked them greatly. Speaking of the mysterious person...

"Father, may I ask you something?" George looked at Dio and gave a gentle smile after getting into a coughing fit. "A-ask away, my boy." "Do you know who brought me back to the mansion? Last time I checked, I was halfway to London and was left to drown in some river."

The old man frowned and slowly shook his head.

"I do not know, I'm afraid. I do know from what the servants told me that the mysterious person was covered in a dark cloak, their face was covered in a mask and to go with it, they wore a hat which resembled a little blue star."

'Interesting...Sounds as if I was rescued by someone from a fairytale...' Dio turned his head after bidding farewell to the sick man in bed and left the room, thoughts clouding him with different questions as to who was it.

'Who could it be? Did JoJo send out someone in secret to spy on me? Maybe...Or it could have been him? No, please no. I definitely hope not...But still, I am generally curious to meet this person.'

As it became midday, Dio walked through halls and more halls out of sheer boredom before regaining a headache. His injuries have not fully healed but he was getting there...Except for his head that is. Memories would get foggy for the young Brando to remember what has happened in the past which used to be one of his specialities.

A shame that damn ambushed occurred.

His quiet round of a walk was cut short when he heard horses trotting closer to the manor. 'Ah...So HE has returned already? Great...' Dio groaned mentally as he quickly went around the manor to find a hiding spot away from that insane gentleman.

He knew it may not work well considering how Jonathan gets to become better at many things than Dio but it was worth a try.

Finally, he reached his bedroom, locked the door and hid within his wardrobe. "...Damn you, Joestar...Damn you all..." Dio muttered underneath his breath in anger and silently prayed to the Lord to protect him from that monster.

Little did Dio Brando know that things were just about to become more horrific than before.

As the carriage came to a stop, Jonathan opened the door and got out of the vehicle. Knowing that there was another figure inside, the bluenette made a sign for the other to get out as well.
