[Jotaros POV]

"What's the meeting for then, Sienna," Marco seemed excited, was he always like this in meetings?

"Well, everybody, was going to be travelling." I saw Nori stiffen up as Sienna explained.

"We need to go somewhere, I can't tell you where just yet but we need to practically travel for a bit."

"B-Boss," Noriaki was hesitant. "Are you sure about this?"

Sienna nodded, "We will meet at the docks in two days, explain there. Everybody get packed and be ready for then." Everyone nodded in response.

The meeting lasted for a few more minutes before I and Luca went back to the apartment.

"Why do you only ever wear the same shit, Jotaro?"

I made a humming noise, choosing to ignore him.

"I asked you a question dumbass."

I chuckled at his sudden harshness, "Why do you always act like an asshole?"

He made a frowning face before walking past me, taking my hat from my head and putting it on himself. He walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, adjusting the hat to his liking.

"Do I look cute Jotaro?"

"Do you think I'm your boyfriend or something?"

Luca began to blush and I rolled my eyes.

"Youll look good in anything as long as you're happy in it."

Luca laughed awkwardly before walking over to me.

"Can I keep your hat?"

"No."

"Why?"

"No."

He huffed before taking the hat off and putting it on my head, "I don't like shitty hats without a back anyways."

This made me burst into tears. I was crying from laughter.

"W-Why is that funny?"

"N-Nothing I jus- HAH- You just

reminded me of someone."

He didn't remind me of someone, I just didn't want him to know that I found him funny.

"C'Mon we need to get packed Jotaro."

I nodded before standing up organising my clothes. As I was packing I walked across a grey shirt. It had the logo of my favourite band on it.

"Hey- Uh Luca is this your shirt?"

He hummed in response.

I picked the shirt up and walked to stand in front of Luca, holding out the shirt to at least have a slight indication of how it would look on him before throwing it at his head.

"Wear this when we travel," He seemed confused as to why I told him this. "I- Um- It looks comfortable, I want you to be comfortable while travelling is all."

He smiled in response before mumbling a quiet 'thank you' and put it in his bedroom.

"I never got to properly thank you for letting me stay here," he chuckled a bit because of what I said. "I could take you out for dinner. As like- As like friends."

He burst into laughter, seeing me flustered due to 'asking him to dinner'.

"Y-Yeah that be nice, J-Joot," he said between wheezes.

I rolled my eyes before we finished packing.

-------

"Where do you want to go then, Luca?"

He made a humming noise in confusion before realisation hit him.

"OH- I don't really mind take me anywhere!" He put his hand behind his head, something I noticed he would do when flustered.

"Okay how about we just go to like a random restaurant or something?"

"We can just go to a coffee shop, I don't care."

"Luca, I want to do something to thank you for letting me stay here, not just take you to some shitty coffee shop."

Luca walked up to me, slowly lifting his hand next to my face, flattening his hand out before slapping me right across the face.

"Get ready we're gonna go get coffee."

I put my hand to my cheek, still in shock from the slap, "Yes, sir."

Quickly recovering, I put my shoes on, grabbing Luca's hand before pulling him off out of the door.

"Jeez, watch it!"

He went to slap me again but I ducked. Running with Luca's hand in mine, I picked him up and carried him bridal style.

"You're so slow, Lorenzo!"

"I still need to lock the fucking door!"

I stopped, turning around before I shot off again, stopping in front of the apartment door and putting Luca down.

I heard him mumble a quiet 'fucking hell' before he took the keys from his pocket and used them to lock the door.

"Hey Luca," he looked over to me, still pissed off that I had picked him up without warning. "What's your stand?"

I had heard close to nothing about everyone's stands. I knew about Sienna and Nori's and knew a little bit about Alessio's stand but not its name.

"Well, the thing is," He paused for a second. "It's hard to explain."

I nodded in understanding and didn't ask again.

"I'll drive," I looked at Luca, smiling at him. He looked back at me, concerned.

"Do you even know how to drive?"

I paused and didn't answer.

"Thought so." Luca snickered.

"You're such a fucking kid, Lorenzo."

We soon made it down to the lobby and made our way to the car. Luca unlocked the car and we both stepped in.

"Jotaro," I looked over to him as he sat in the driver's seat. He looked attractive, ill admit that. "What was Nori like? I-I mean before Egypt before he joined Passione."

I thought for a few minutes, leaving the car in silence.

"I didn't know much about him before Egypt, he moved to my school a few days before. He was an asshole though, but that's because DIO was controlling him. We actually met when Nori attacked me at school, while we were in Egypt he was very helpful, he had no reason to accompany us on our journey but he did. I'll forever be grateful."

Luca nodded, understanding. The car went back to being quiet, all but the radio that played softly in the background.

"It's so fucking shitty," Luca made a hmm noise in response. "It's so fucking shitty how you can love someone and then in a second its as if there was never anything."

Luca rested his hand on my thigh, "Stuff gets better and you may not be over it now but just remember Nori had his reasons don't think about him as an asshole for that."

I nodded, turning my head to the window. I liked the feeling of having Luca's hand on my thigh. I don't know why but I just did.

"Thank you, Luca, for everything."
